Welcome to Offroad X Files, Where the Trail Meets the Unknown... Tonight's episode will be a special Halloween edition I call, "Where the Trail Meets the Shadow..."
For centuries, stories about darker than dark figures, from the Dark Watchers of California to the Night People (Seatco) of the PNW, have been reported. A creature so jet black it seems to absorb the night itself.
Tonight, we will explore the stories and investigate the origins of the Shadow People in Native American tales, early Spanish explorers and more modern encounters. We'll explore the possible physics and theories behind a being that seems to absorb the night itself. We'll also hear a chilling new account from Mount St. Helens, from my friend Henry that sent be down the rabbit-hole of shadow people in the wilderness!

The Gifford Pinchot is hiding a secret. The authorities are keeping it.

Two men vanished while searching for Bigfoot in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, only to be found days later with a fast, unexplained ruling of death by exposure. Nearly a year later, the victims' names and crucial autopsy reports are still sealed by Skamania County officials.

On this episode of Offroad X Files, host Jimmy Toungate challenges the incomplete official narrative. Featuring local expert Virgil Sampson, we propose the chilling theory that a territorial Bigfoot encounter drove the men into a desperate, fatal flight across a flooded creek. The government is silent, and the case is still wide open.

The government is silent, but the forest never forgets.

In this episode of Offroad X Files, we're going to give you a practical, step-by-step guide on what to do during and immediately after a Sasquatch encounter, from documenting evidence without contamination to finding the right people and organizations who will take what happened to you seriously. Because your encounter isn't just a story; it could be the key to scientific discovery. Join me and my guest David Zigan for the discussion!
