He Thought It Was a Cedar Stump. Then It Stood Up Near Lake Crescent

He Thought It Was a Cedar Stump. Then It Stood Up Near Lake Crescent

Author: Jeremiah Byron September 3, 2026 Duration: 1:16:05
A hunter near Lake Crescent, Washington thought he was looking at an old cedar stump—until it stood up, doubled in height, and walked into the trees.


In this episode of Bigfoot Society, multiple witnesses share extraordinary encounters from the Olympic Peninsula and beyond.


Near Mount Snyder and Mount Bigler, an experienced hunter watches a massive reddish figure through his scope and later uses nearby stumps to estimate its size at more than 10 feet tall. Elsewhere in Olympic National Park, a family finds themselves being followed out of the forest after rocks begin flying, branches break, wildlife flees, and an approximately eight-foot black figure appears behind them.


Pam shares her sighting near Port Renfrew on Vancouver Island, where a huge, hair-covered figure walked out of a gully, noticed her approaching vehicle, reacted with visible surprise, and hurried behind a tree.


The episode also takes us to Winter Haven, Florida, for a disturbing early-morning vocalization; the Atherton Tablelands of Australia for Aboriginal accounts of the mysterious "hairy men"; and deeper into Washington for enormous tracks found near the Dosewallips River system and footprints that smashed through thick creek ice in the Cascades.


Lake Crescent. Mount Snyder. Mount Bigler. Olympic National Park. Port Townsend. Discovery Bay. Port Renfrew. Winter Haven. The Australian rainforest.


These are the accounts people carried with them for years.

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.
