Originally released as Episode 504 on 8/22/24.
Jay is a gold prospector from Oregon who had a close-range encounter in the Willamette National Forest that changed the way he sees the outdoors. In 2016, while working a remote creek near Oakridge with a small group, Jay found himself alone on a steep hillside when he came face to face with something he couldn’t explain.
He breaks down the entire experience step by step—from the environment and positioning, to the behavior of the creature, to the split-second decisions he had to make while standing just feet away. Jay shares detailed observations about movement, body structure, and the way the encounter unfolded in real time, along with how it’s affected him in the years since.
This conversation gets into awareness in the wilderness, how quickly situations can shift, and what it’s like when something you’ve only heard about suddenly becomes real.

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.
