The Beasts of Vietnam

Expanded PerspectivesJul 21, 2026

Hosts Cam Hale and Kyle Filson revisit the legendary 'rock apes' of Vietnam, sharing soldiers' accounts of upright, hair-covered creatures that stalked patrols, ran through firefights, and allegedly left an enemy soldier torn apart. The episode also covers listener stories of ant-like beings contacted through meditation in Joshua Tree, thunderbirds and a juvenile Sasquatch vanishing into invisible portals, a black-eyed child that turned into a mantis-like creature, and sinister fairy-like visitors. It closes with a Florida family who claim they shot and secretly buried a nine-foot Bigfoot in 2004, and a Sequoia park ranger who says he was fired after reporting an attack by a massive ape-like creature.
