I listened to part of it awhile ago. The guy talks about getting off the trail, how he likes to go up into the Cascades and just wander off, stop and look at the wild life - the squirrels and the rabbits and raccoons.
After listening to it the second time and hearing that part I was pretty disappointed. When I first heard the story it was under the realm of “Fake, but hmm, you never know.”
Now I know it is fake. I do a lot of work in the Cascades - once in a VERY rare while you might see a squirrel. I can't recall every seeing a rabbit, and a raccoon?! Not during the day time - anywhere! (Unless they have rabies). The Cascade forests do not have much in the way of small animals.
Like I tell my kids “You know this Zombie show is so fake. No way they would still have decent gas for their trucks six years later!”
I’m confused - there was an alien-in-the-freezer story, too.
Anyhow, the bigfoot one reminded me of ‘The Creature in Ice’. I saw this at a shopping mall around 1970; I remember it smelled like vomit, and I didn’t know if that was another little ‘touch’ added for effect, or if someone had gotten sick looking at it - LOL!:

The alien was a cop??
