Show Notes
Tonight’s guest, Wayne Stapleton, had his first Sasquatch sighting while spending Christmas break at his grandmother’s cottage on a small lake in south-central Michigan. That experience frightened him to his core, but over time, he came to cherish his encounters with the Forest Giants.
All of the Forest Giants Wayne has interacted with hold a special place in his heart, but one stands above the rest: a female, named Dafina, who visited him on the night of January 2, 1973, while he was in bed at his grandmother’s cottage.
I hope you’ll tune in to hear Wayne share his numerous encounters with Forest Giants over the years—and find out why Dafina means so much to him.

More from My Bigfoot Sighting
Tonight’s guest has Bigfoot sightings and encounters regularly these days, but that hasn’t always been the case for her. Before the summer of 2011, she’d never seen a Sasquatch. Since then, she’s had countless sightings and experiences with what she describes as a family of Sasquatch living in the woods around her home.
Tonight’s guest, Lori Crowson, is a Sasquatch investigator who lives in North Texas. Lori has had seven Bigfoot sightings in four different states. Some got her adrenaline flowing; others were less intense.
Tonight’s guest, Danny Watson, has been investigating Sasquatch for about 30 years now. In that time, he’s had his fair share of sightings and experiences with them. His most remarkable sighting happened a little over a year ago, however, in May or June of 2025, on the South Oregon Coast Range, in the Powers Ranger District. Of course, that isn’t the only experience Danny’s going to share on the show tonight. He’ll be sharing several others too. We hope you’ll tune in and listen to him do that.
Tonight’s first guest, Derin Franks, had his Bigfoot sighting in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, in North Alabama, in 2017. It happened on the last day of deer hunting season. Derin had just walked to the edge of a greenfield when he decided to sit down on a log, just inside the tree line. As he sat there, taking everything in, he suddenly heard a limb snap about 12 yards over his right shoulder. When he heard it, he stood up and turned around. When he did, he couldn’t believe his eyes…
Tonight’s guests, Ray and Lisa Haley, moved to a 3-acre property in the Ozarks of Arkansas back in 2022. For the first year they lived there, nothing unusual happened, largely because they had cleared a significant portion of their property. The following year, however, after letting nature reclaim the cleared land, strange things started to happen.
