This episode of Bigfoot Terror in the Woods features two chilling firsthand accounts of encounters with Bigfoot, set against the backdrop of rugged wilderness in Idaho and Washington State. The first story, shared by Mitchell Godfrey, recounts a 1978 rock scrambling accident in northern Idaho where he was struck by pebbles from a seven-foot-tall, 400-pound Bigfoot before falling 25 feet and suffering severe foot injuries. The creature stood motionless, observed him, then calmly walked away. The second account, from Carter Fuller in Washington, describes a survival experiment where he witnessed a dying grizzly bear and then a massive Bigfoot standing vigil over it—only to shoot it at close range, only for the creature to rise and flee at incredible speed. The episode also explores the infamous Loveland Frogmen sightings from 1955 and 1972, involving three amphibian-like creatures with webbed limbs and a strange sparking device, witnessed by a salesman and two police officers. The hosts reflect on the psychological impact of such encounters, the limitations of evidence, and the resilience of creatures like coyotes and Bigfoot in the wild. The episode closes with a call for listener submissions and a promotional mention of filmmaker Joseph Grandoc’s upcoming film, The Sasqualogist.
Bigfoot may exhibit complex behaviors—such as observing humans without attacking or standing over a dying animal—challenging the stereotype of mindless aggression.
Physical encounters with Bigfoot can result in severe injury, even without direct contact, as seen in the rock climber’s fall and foot trauma.
The Loveland Frogmen sightings suggest a possible long-standing, unexplained phenomenon involving humanoid amphibians in the Pacific Northwest.
Survivalists and researchers should prepare for the unexpected—nature is unpredictable, and encounters with unknown creatures can happen even in well-prepared scenarios.
The lack of photographic evidence doesn’t invalidate sightings; human psychology under stress often prevents documentation, even when the event is real.
Introduction and Podcast Updates
W.J. Sheehan introduces the podcast, promotes his books and merchandise, and welcomes co-host K.J. Sheehan. They briefly discuss a prior episode’s missing mention of a sick Bigfoot sighting and reflect on the unpredictability of wild creatures.
The Scrambling Rock Climber’s Encounter
“I was in so much pain. It was borderline unbearable. Now knowing a Bigfoot was in the trees somewhere next to me, and a 700 foot or so descent below me to get off of this mount. I dragged myself over to the trees where a stout branch was lying on the ground that I grabbed using it as a crutch.”
The Washington Survivalist and the Grizzly-Bigfoot Standoff
“I hit it squarely in the bread basket. And after it dropped, it stood up and fled the scene. How is that even possible? I have no idea.”
The Loveland Frogmen: 1955 and 1972 Sightings
“The height, all uniform in height. Three separate kind of miniature creatures, you know? Yeah. So these three creatures seem to be completely ignoring Honeycutt's idling vehicle and the light shining on him.”
Reflections, Coyotes, and the Power of the Unseen
The hosts reflect on the psychological barriers to documenting strange encounters, using a personal experience with a large coyote in the Canadian Rockies. They discuss the resilience of wildlife like coyotes and hogs, and end with a call for listener submissions and a mention of filmmaker Joseph Grandoc’s upcoming film.

“Always carry more gun than you think you're going to need.”
