Bigfoot Society

What happens when a single mom moves to the forests of Oregon — and stumbles into a Bigfoot encounter straight out of a nightmare?In this chilling and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Kerry Vill, a member of the Lane County Bigfooters and a preschool teacher with a story that starts with a whistle in the dark... and ends with two Sasquatch creatures caught on thermal footage. Kerry walks us through over a decade of encounters — from tree structures and wood knocks to terrifying vocalizations and unexplained orbs — all hidden in plain sight near Eugene, Cottage Grove Lake, and the forests outside Oakridge. You’ll hear the story of how a summer camp drop-off turned into a paranormal investigation, how she endured a mind-zapping fear so intense it left her crying in a van, and why she believes Bigfoot might be drawn to those who are different.More than just a cryptid story, this episode is a raw look at belief, survival, and how the wild sometimes watches back.Resources:Kerry's interview with the Area 5
