Description
Welcome to The Cryptid Podcast, hosted by Daniel Hamilton, who experienced his first and only Bigfoot sighting at the age of 12. This unforgettable moment sparked a lifelong fascination with the elusive cryptids that roam the forests of the Pacific Northwest, the swamps of Florida, and everywhere in between. Daniel created The Cryptid Podcast to provide a platform for others to share their encounters and shed light on cryptids like Bigfoot, Dogman, and other legendary creatures seen across the United States.

Idaho is one of the wildest places left in America.Endless forests… towering mountains… deep volcanic tunnels… and millions of acres of land where a person can disappear without ever being found.But in those remote places, people have reported encounters they struggle to explain.Hunters describe massive shapes moving silently through the trees beside them. Campers have woken in the dead of night to heavy footsteps circling their tents. Drivers on isolated highways have watched tall figures cross the road in front of their headlights… only to vanish into the darkness moments later.And deep beneath parts of Idaho lie ancient lava tubes stretching for miles underground—places where explorers have reported strange sounds, movement in the shadows, and the unsettling feeling that something might already be living there.Are these stories simply wilderness folklore…Or are they glimpses of something still hiding in one of America’s most untamed states?Tonight on 50 States of Fear, we explore the chilling encounters, strange sightings, and unexplained mysteries reported across the remote wilderness of Idaho.Because when a place is this vast… this wild… and this empty…You have to wonder what might still be out there.
