Glowing-Eyed Skunk Ape Stuns Teenagers at Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge, Florida

Glowing-Eyed Skunk Ape Stuns Teenagers at Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge, Florida

Author: Jeremiah Byron August 11, 2026 Duration: 1:14:41
One summer evening in 1977, three teenagers walked toward the edge of Florida's Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge and came face-to-face with an eight-foot-tall Skunk Ape. Standing motionless just yards away, the creature's glowing red eyes, powerful build, and unmistakable odor created a moment none of them would ever forget.


Carol Stanhope joins Bigfoot Society to share her unforgettable encounter, along with the remarkable history of Skunk Ape reports throughout Palm Beach County during the 1970s—including accounts involving sheriff's deputies, farmers, and security guards.


Later in the episode, the conversation expands across North America with firsthand experiences from Ontario, Northern Quebec, Oklahoma, Virginia, Iowa, and Oregon. You'll hear reports of tree knocks, mysterious rock throwing, tracks deep in remote forests, powwow encounters, possible gifting behavior, and a child's startling visual sighting during a family prayer.


Every story comes directly from the people who experienced it. Listen all the way through and decide for yourself what may be living just beyond the tree line.

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.
