14 JUL 2026 · For more than 40 years, Matthew has experienced unexplained encounters across some of the most active Bigfoot country in North America.
His journey begins during a childhood hunting trip in Oregon's Starkey Unit before leading to unforgettable experiences at Packwood Lake, Washington, where he describes hearing a mysterious message in his mind, discovering unusual footprints, witnessing unexplained activity around the lake, and feeling an unseen presence in the forest.
As the years continued, the encounters spread throughout Washington and Idaho. Matthew shares accounts of strange vocalizations, crying babies deep in remote timber, glowing lights moving through the wilderness, recurring dreams, game camera images near Mount St. Helens, and a recent expedition that produced recorded vocalizations and a 15-inch footprint cast.
Throughout this conversation, Jeremiah Byron and Matthew explore the patterns connecting these experiences, the role of intention in the field, and the questions that continue to shape Matthew's understanding of the Sasquatch phenomenon.
