Bigfoot Society

In this episode, we sit down with Jared McGilliard, director and executive producer of MonsterQuest, as he steps out from behind the camera to share the encounters that shaped his understanding of the phenomenon. From the dense forests of Washington’s North Cascades to remote regions tied to decades of unexplained activity, Jared recounts experiences that go far beyond television production.Drawing from his time investigating cryptid cases around the world—including extreme expeditions into the Himalayas—Jared reflects on the moments that stayed with him long after the cameras stopped rolling. He describes locations passed down through generations, a singular place in the Pacific Northwest tied to repeated activity, and the unsettling realization that some encounters don’t fit neatly into any known explanation.How to Watch MonsterQuest:The new season of MonsterQuest is now airing on the History Channel and available through History’s official streaming and on-demand platforms.
