Beyond Bigfoot: Encounters in Gatlinburg
Notas do episódio
Strange sounds in a Florida swamp. A possible Skunk Ape reaching out from the trees. A shadowy figure at the foot of a bed. The people we met in Gatlinburg brought plenty of stories to share.
Join Sandman and co-host Eric at the 8th Annual Smoky Mountain Bigfoot Conference, held on July 25, 2026, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Hear personal accounts of possible cryptid encounters, unexplained lights, unsettling apartment activity, and mysterious nighttime noises. We also meet James, who introduces the cryptid search game Let’s Go Squatchin’, and welcome back Nate with a recent mystery of his own.
This is the second of four episodes featuring conversations collected during ParaReality’s convention travels as we wind down the season.
Plus, Sandman shares an update: ParaReality has left the Evergreen Podcast Network and returned to Spreaker as an independent podcast. Podcast apps will carry audio only for now. To watch this episode and future podcast videos, visit ParaReality1 on YouTube—the exclusive home for ParaReality video.
Turn On, Tune In, & Find Out.
