In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Bob shares a terrifying firsthand encounter that haunted him for over 50 years. In 1972 near Westerville, Ohio, a teenage walk along railroad tracks and wooded clearings turned into a life-altering nightmare when Bob came face to face with two massive Bigfoot-like beings.<br /><br /><br />What began as a quiet nighttime trip quickly escalated when one creature stood upright in a clearing under a full moon—and another, far larger, charged from the woods, crashing through trees and paralleling Bob all the way back to the road. Bob describes the encounter as intelligent, intentional, and deeply aggressive, leaving him with lasting PTSD, fear of the woods, and decades of silence.<br /><br />Listener Disclaimer:<br />This episode includes discussion of trauma, suicide, and suicidal thoughts.
