**EP 318: Shocking Swamp Ape Encounters and More with Jared Millard**
What lurks in the Florida swamps… and the Wisconsin woods?
This week on Untold Radio, hosts Doug Hajicek and Jeff Perrella sit down with Jared Millard — avid outdoorsman, firearms trainer, construction worker/plumber, and the man behind the YouTube and Instagram channels **Reel Swamp Stalkers**.
Born in Janesville, Wisconsin, and raised just 20 miles from Elkhorn (home of the legendary Beast of Bray Road), Jared spent the ’80s and ’90s deep in the woods hunting for proof of the unexplained. After years in Las Vegas and now living in Florida since 2009, he’s turned his lifelong search toward the swamps — tracking reports of the elusive Swamp Ape (Florida’s own Bigfoot) and other cryptid encounters across the state.
In this episode, Jared shares shocking first-hand and researched swamp ape encounters, his ongoing search for physical evidence, and stories that blur the line between legend and reality. From the Beast of Bray Road to Florida’s murky backwaters, this is one you won’t want to miss.
