1367 THE MOST BIZARRE BIGFOOT ENCOUNTER YOU’VE NEVER HEARD

**Richard Syrett** (0:00)
All right, let me tell you about something I've been living and breathing for a long time now. If you've ever listened to my podcast, The Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, you know I've always believed there's more going on in rock history than chart positions and gold records. There are shadows, patterns, strange turns of fate that don't quite add up. Well now, I've pulled it all together in my new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone, Eerie Enigmas and Supernatural Secrets from Rock's Darkest Corners. This isn't just a music book, it's a journey into the unexplained, mysterious deaths, whispered conspiracies, cursed chords, and moments where the veil between this world and something else feels paper thin. It's based on years of research and conversations from the podcast, but expanded, deepened, and taken further than I've ever gone before. The book publishes July 9th, 2026, but you can pre-order right now at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or directly from my publisher, Trine Day. For all the details, just head over to therockandrolltwilightzone.com.
If you love rock and roll and you suspect the story didn't end when the music stopped, this book is for you.

Hey, sweetie, your mother showed me this Carvana thing for selling the car.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:39)
I'm going to give it a try.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:40)
Wish me luck.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:42)
Me again.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:42)
I put in the license plate.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:44)
It gave me an offer. Unbelievable.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:46)
Okay.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:47)
I accepted the offer.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:48)
They're picking it up Tuesday from the driveway. I haven't even left my chair.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:52)
It's done.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:53)
The car is gone. I'm holding a check.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:55)
Anyway, Carvana. Give it a whirl.

**SPEAKER_5** (1:57)
Love you.

**SPEAKER_2** (1:58)
So good, you'll want to leave a voicemail about it.

I feel that it's definitely not human, but it has very strong big foot genetics.
I felt that it wanted to interact and it was. I want to be able to interact even more, but I think it's just too dangerous. They are strong. They have super, super natural ability. I do know many experiences where people have gotten pregnant by these beings. It's, like I said, it's in the Bible, but I do know many stories of people who have, and I know who they are.

Most alleged Bigfoot encounters happen deep in the wilderness, a fleeting shadow between the trees, a scream in the darkness, massive footprints discovered and then gone by morning.
But what if the thing people fear in the forest didn't stay in the forest? Tonight on Strange Planet, I'm exploring a deeply unsettling witness account that blurs the line between cryptid lore, psychological mystery, and something almost impossible to categorize. Miranda Cunha claims that years ago she came face to face with a towering being unlike anything she had ever seen before. A creature her young nephew would later call the Monkey Bear Boy.
What followed, she says, would change her understanding of reality forever. Was this a case of fear and misidentification? A story shaped by memory and trauma over time? A modern myth? Or could some encounter stories point toward a darker and more mysterious phenomenon hiding just beyond the boundaries of acceptable reality? Tonight, we examine Miranda's testimony carefully and critically, asking the questions you yourselves would ask if confronted with something you could neither explain nor forget. Miranda Cunha is the author of The Secret Life of Miranda Cunha, in which she claims to be the secret daughter of Hollywood icons Carmen Miranda and Cesar Romero, while recounting a life marked by mystery, alleged conspiracies and deeply personal encounters with the unexplained. Tonight, she joins us to discuss what she describes as one of the most disturbing experiences of her life. Miranda, welcome to Strange Planet. How are you?
