BIGFOOT MAKES EYE CONTACT with Witness on Sauvie Island, Oregon

Author: Jeremiah Byron August 24, 2026 Duration: 1:12:55
Originally released as Episode 547 of Bigfoot Society on 10/4/24.


A quiet drive through Oregon farmland turns into a moment that stays with a witness for years.

In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Jeremiah Byron talks with Colleen, an Oregon outdoorswoman who spent her life hunting, fishing, hiking, and camping across the Pacific Northwest. During the fall of 2020 on Sauvie Island, she and her partner encountered a large black, humanlike figure crossing a remote access road in broad daylight. The figure looked directly at them, continued calmly across the road, then appeared to stop and watch them before disappearing into dense blackberry hedges.

As the years passed, Colleen began connecting that unforgettable encounter with other unexplained experiences from across Oregon. She shares reports of mysterious tree knocks while hiking near Scappoose, unsettling nighttime footsteps outside her home on Sauvie Island, possible vocal exchanges she once believed were owls, and recent activity near her current rural property bordering miles of forest. She also reflects on childhood camping trips near Mount Hood and how those memories have taken on new meaning.

This conversation explores what happens after a life-changing encounter, how personal perspectives evolve over time, and why protecting the wild places of the Pacific Northwest has become even more important to her.

In Bigfoot Society, host Jeremiah Byron creates a space where firsthand accounts of the unexplained are treated with seriousness and respect. This isn't about sensationalism; it's a grounded conversation at the intersection of personal narrative and natural mystery. Each episode features intimate interviews where people recount their encounters with something they believe to be Bigfoot. Jeremiah’s approach is to empower these witnesses, allowing them to articulate experiences that are often met with skepticism. The result is a sense of relief and regained control for the storyteller, offering listeners a rare, unfiltered window into these events. By focusing on the human element within these extraordinary stories, the podcast explores deeper questions about what might still be undiscovered in the wilderness. You'll hear detailed descriptions of sounds, sightings, and the lasting emotional impact, all framed within a thoughtful dialogue. Jeremiah guides these conversations with a calm curiosity, making this podcast a unique entry in the genre. It’s for anyone fascinated by the persistent mystery of Sasquatch, but also for those interested in how people process and make sense of the profoundly unexpected. Tune in for a series that is as much about the psychology of belief and experience as it is about the creature itself.
