Tonight on The Night’s Watch, Jim sits down with Matt Lankford to hear his incredible Bigfoot encounter from Central Texas.Matt describes a broad daylight sighting on May 20, 2019 near Coleman, Texas, while driving an 18-wheeler for work. What he first thought was a black bull, then a hog, then a man in an “arctic suit,” quickly became something he says he will never forget: a massive jet-black Bigfoot moving across open ground toward the tree line.Matt also shares recent field research from private property in Texas, including trackways, possible tree structures, strange smells, rock clacking, and a shocking handprint he found on the side of his truck after an investigation.Was this a curious Sasquatch watching him from the woods? Was the handprint evidence of something getting close while he was searching the property?You decide.Topics covered:* Broad daylight Bigfoot sighting in Texas* Highway 84 near Coleman, Texas* Spider crawl behavior* Tree structures and X formations* 13-inch tracks and smaller juvenile tracks* Strange gamey odor in the woods* Rock clacking* Possible Sasquatch handprint on truck* Bigfoot research in Central Texas* Sabine River bottoms discussionIf you’ve had a Bigfoot, Dogman, UFO, ghost, or unexplained encounter and want to share it, reach out to The Night’s Watch.#Bigfoot #Sasquatch #TexasBigfoot #Cryptids #christianpodcast

Can missing time actually be documented?In this episode of The Night's Watch, Jim Powell interviews retired U.S. Marine, former law enforcement officer, and paranormal investigator Shawn Boettner of SEKRS and ASOG about one of the most unsettling witness encounters we've featured.What began as a routine investigation quickly turned into an experience involving missing time, unexplained environmental changes, strange psychological effects, and Life360 GPS data that appeared to document a forty-minute anomaly.Unlike fictional ghost stories or internet creepypastas, Shawn approaches this event as a trained investigator—not a storyteller. His military, law enforcement, and investigative background make this one of the most compelling firsthand accounts we've ever recorded.This interview serves as the companion episode to Jammie's account, revealing additional details and another witness perspective from the same incident.Topics discussed include:• Missing Time• Life360 GPS Anomaly• Paranormal Investigation• High Strangeness• Cryptid Encounters• Interdimensional Phenomena• Witness Testimony• Psychological Effects• Reality Distortion• Woods Encounter• Investigator Methodology• Evidence Documentation━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⏱ CHAPTERS00:00 Introduction03:12 Investigation Background09:11 Early Paranormal Evidence11:57 Missing Time Encounter Begins23:00 Witness Testimony & What They Saw37:50 Missing Time Event53:50 Life360 GPS Tracking Anomaly1:06:26 Long-Term Psychological Impact1:20:00 Reflections on the Unknown1:31:57 Final Thoughts━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━GuestShawn BoettnerRetired U.S. MarineFormer Law Enforcement OfficerSEKRSASOGSEKRS Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/groups/660047546609698━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━The Night's Watch🎙 Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3VY6jXJcbslU1fTYr5h2gM🍎 Apple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/🎧 Amazon Musichttps://music.amazon.com/podcasts━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━If you enjoy conversations about missing time, Bigfoot, Dogman, cryptids, UFOs, UAPs, paranormal investigations, witness testimony, Christianity, and high strangeness, subscribe for new interviews every week.👍 Like💬 Comment🔔 Subscribe📢 ShareEvery subscription helps us continue documenting real witness testimony and interviewing investigators from around the world.God bless,Jim PowellThe Night's Watch#MissingTime#Life360#HighStrangeness#Paranormal#WitnessTestimony

What happens when years of Bigfoot encounters begin overlapping with strange lights, missing time, and experiences that defy explanation?

In this powerful episode of The Night’s Watch, Jim Powell sits down with longtime friend Mike Adkins—co-owner of Mystic Mountain Creations and a trusted member of our community—to discuss experiences he’s kept private for decades.

Living on a remote property known for intense Bigfoot activity, Mike shares encounters involving mysterious lights, unexplained voices, high strangeness, and what he believes were alien visitation experiences that forever changed his perspective. As the conversation unfolds, we explore whether these phenomena may be more connected than many people realize.

This is one of Mike’s most personal interviews to date and includes stories he has rarely discussed publicly.

In this episode we discuss:

• Bigfoot encounters on Mike’s property

• Strange lights, voices, and unexplained activity

• High strangeness and paranormal experiences

• Possible alien visitation and missing time

• The relationship between Bigfoot and the UFO phenomenon

• Faith, discernment, and navigating extraordinary experiences

• Behind-the-scenes stories from our investigations
