Show Notes
Sam Chandler’s journey with the Sasquatch phenomenon stretches from a remote 5,000-acre property in Ontario, Canada, to the forests of Georgia and deep into the mountains of Oregon.
In this episode of Bigfoot Society, Sam shares decades of experiences that began when he was a child and continued into adulthood. He recalls unexplained footsteps around an isolated Canadian lake, violent impacts against a cabin, strange lights moving through the forest, unusual recordings captured at night, and a terrifying solo camping experience that changed his understanding of what might be happening around him. Years later in western Georgia, the encounters continued. Sam describes changing tree structures, unseen footsteps following his family, three separate sets of footsteps closing in around him, wood knocks, activity around his home, and interactions that became increasingly personal.
After moving to Oregon, everything intensified.
Sam takes us into remote camps near Bend, Camp Broken Arrow along the Bigfoot Highway, and the forests surrounding Oakridge. He shares experiences involving massive individuals moving through the darkness, mysterious whistles beside his tent, apparent communication, strange vibrations, rocks thrown into camp, something racing past his vehicle in the middle of the night, and an approximately 16-inch footprint discovered near a spring during Sasquatch Summer Fest 2026.
Sam also shares some of his most extraordinary experiences involving what he calls the “Sasquatch people,” including encounters he believes involved direct communication and an Oregon experience in which three individuals—a male, female, and juvenile—were presented to him with remarkable clarity.
This is a journey spanning more than 40 years, multiple states, and two countries.
Listen through to the end. Sam’s experiences around Oakridge and Sasquatch Summerfest bring the story right into the present day.

A face appeared outside her school bus in the Oregon woods. Then she heard three words: “Let me in.”
At 4 a.m. on Washington’s Highway 4, a driver rounds a curve and sees a massive white figure in his headlights. It stands upright. Traveling at 55 mph, he swerves—and says he has to lean forward and look up through his windshield just to see its chest.
They called into the darkness beside Idaho’s Snake River. A voice answered, “Hey.” Then came what sounded like laughter.
He fired a warning shot. The growling continued. Then he saw its face—about ten feet away.
A solo camper walks to the creek bank near Willow Creek, California—and locks eyes with a figure she estimates stood nine feet tall. Its honey-colored eyes are a detail Rachel says she can still picture clearly. What happened next sent her scrambling to pack her tent and ultimately driving 19 hours to reach someone she knew.
