In episode 723: Aliens, Bigfoot, and Secrets Beneath The Lake, Matt takes us deep into the shadowed heart of California’s wilderness, where the line between reality and myth blurs. A creature’s arm tears through the brush, a canoe is lifted by something ancient beneath the water, and local lore whispers of portals and supernatural guardians. Matt’s stories don’t just stem from his own encounters, they’re woven into a family legacy of UFO sightings, abductions, and dark mysteries hidden in plain sight. As the wilderness closes in, the question isn’t what’s real, but whether you’re ready to believe it.
