Big as a Buffalo! - My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 229
Publisher-sourced overview · Verified source context: 2026-10-08
My Bigfoot Sighting Episode 229 contains two distinct witness accounts. Apple’s episode description says Derin Franks describes a 2017 deer-hunting encounter in the William B. Bankhead National Forest in northern Alabama after hearing a limb snap close behind him. The second account is attributed to Catman Hero, who describes an August 8, 2016 nighttime field investigation at a campsite in Middle Tennessee with two other investigators, where the group reported observing something partly concealed behind a tree branch.
These are attributed source summaries, not independent verification of a witness claim.
