What happens when a mother follows her autistic son's passion for Bigfoot into the forests of Colorado — and ends up having life-changing encounters of her own?<br /><br />In this heartfelt and mysterious episode, we sit down with Dana Beasley, also known as Sasquatch Mom, a Bigfoot researcher from the Pikes Peak region. Dana shares her incredible journey from being a fearful skeptic to becoming a dedicated field investigator, alongside her son Sam, whose experiences with vocalizations, thrown pinecones, and strange forest structures have left even seasoned researchers curious.<br /><br />You’ll hear stories from Rampart Range, Lost Creek Wilderness, and Skagway Reservoir — including mysterious whoops in the night, glowing eyes in the forest, and the moment they realized they might not be alone out there.<br /><br />More than just a cryptid story, this episode explores how the search for Sasquatch became a powerful tool for connection, healing, and transformation for one unique family.Topics covered:<ul><li>Autism and Bigfoot: Is there a connection?</li><li>Strange encounters in Colorado's forests</li><li>Parenting through shared adventure</li><li>How Bigfoot research brought a family closer</li></ul>🟢 Subscribe for more encounters, mysteries, and human stories behind the search for Bigfoot.<br /><br />🎥 Check out Dana’s YouTube channel: Sasquatch Mom - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@squatchmom" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@squatchmom</a><br /><br />📰 Read her stories and fiction: <a href="https://danasusanbeasley.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://danasusanbeasley.substack.com</a><br /><br />Sasquatch Summerfest this year, is July 11th through the 12th, 2025.
