Sasquatch Chronicles
September 26, 2026
Tonight, I'll be speaking with Jared, a guest from California whose first encounter with one of these creatures happened more than 30 years ago. Although the experience stayed with him for decades, he never expected it to become the beginning of something much bigger.

It looks like somebody was bent over and had their head in the window of the deer blind, and it either heard me or smelled me, and he pulled his head out of the tent and stood straight up, and that shocked me. They don't make people that big.
SPEAKER_2 (0:31)
The way it moved, almost as if it was gliding across the beach. I've never seen anything move like that in my life.
They were screaming at each other in gibberish. It sounded like a language, and they were chuntering away back and forwards, back and forwards, back and forwards. I know what a bear looks like, and there is no way on this planet that what I saw were bears.
SPEAKER_3 (1:15)
What are you reporting? Jesus Christ, you better care.
SPEAKER_1 (1:18)
See ya.
Emily (1:19)
Hello?
SPEAKER_1 (1:20)
Get somebody out here. What's going on now, sir?
SPEAKER_3 (1:23)
This son of a bitch is about 6'9, I don't know.
SPEAKER_1 (1:26)
Do you see him now, sir?
SPEAKER_2 (1:27)
Yes, I'm looking right at him.

Hi, this is Emily from New York, and you're listening to the one and only Sasquatch Chronicles.
Wes Germer (2:09)
Welcome to the show. Tonight, we'll be chatting with Jared. And Jared had this encounter well over 30 years ago, and it was the first time he had ever run into these creatures. After the military, he started to really look into what he had seen that day. He came across this piece of property in California, where these creatures were at, and he had interactions with them. After the Paradise Fires, he lost the cabin and became a semi-truck driver. Five years ago, he struck one of these creatures and killed it. He describes the damage to a semi and what happened afterwards. If you've had an encounter and you'd like to be on the show, shoot me an email.

Jared (3:16)
Thank you for having me.
Wes Germer (3:17)
And I know that you served our country and thank you for your service to our country.
SPEAKER_3 (3:23)
No worries, no worries.
Wes Germer (3:25)
Yeah, I appreciate it. And I want to walk into the incident with the cabin and the four years that you lived in this cabin and interacted with these creatures. And then, kind of the last incident with a semi-truck.
But if you would, would you start from the very beginning? And tell us about the first time seeing one of these creatures.

So many years ago, before the internet and social media and stuff like that, my son was about six months old, and we had went camping in Northern Idaho. And I went down this dead end road, it was about 30 miles long. And there was just one campground at the very end of it. And when I first had my, the first experience, like I said, this was before, you know, internet and or not really before internet, but before it became too big. And no social media at that point. My son was real colicky and he just, he'd cry a lot. And when I would pick him up, he would stop crying. And then I set him down. He started crying or, you know, he'd start. So we were at the end of this 30 mile road at the campground. And it was early in the season. Nobody was up there except for us. I set up camp and I went, you know, started cooking. And we had some burgers and I was cooking up bacon, throwing smells everywhere. And we just kept, you know, we were having a good night. And I would set my son down and he would start crying. And then, but I didn't want to pick him up because I was cooking over the fire. And then every time I would stop, you know, stop flipping burgers or whatever, I'd pick him up and he'd stop. And that's what, you know, that's what happened through the whole night. Well, then later on that night, you know, we had a minivan back then. I got out and took a pee, right? And it was cold that night. It was like two o'clock in the morning. I got out and went to the back of the van, and the van was running and the lights were on. And so I just leaned up against the van and started peeing, and I hear a noise. And it was only about, you know, 15, 20 feet from me.
