**Bigfoot Investigators Share Paranormal Experiences in Portland** We've stumbled upon an intriguing podcast episode from the NW Fresh Podcast, featuring the creators of Grim Grotto. In this episode, they discuss their paranormal experiences and oddities in the Northwest. The Grim Grotto podcast is all about anything that might creep people out or things they don't know much about. From paranormal activities to aliens, lore, and anything strange, it's all encompassed. The hosts, Dave and Julie, shared their unique backgrounds. Julie, whose Lulu in the Philippines is a shaman, shared stories about her cultural traditions and the sight and sear stuff she's experienced. Dave, on the other hand, has always been interested in the paranormal from a young age, with a love for horror movies and Stephen King. During their conversation, they mentioned some interesting locations in Portland. The Benson Hotel, known for its haunted reputation, was one of them. They also talked about Sinister PDX, a coffee and crearyy shop that recently opened. Interestingly, they felt a strange energy in the shop, and Julie even experienced two portals there. As a Bigfoot enthusiast, I found their experiences fascinating, especially the portal encounter. It reminded me of the Bigfoot portals some people believe exist in the woods, particularly near Medford. While we encourage our readers to watch the full episode, it's clear that the hosts of Grim Grotto have a wealth of paranormal experiences to share. Their passion for the unknown makes their podcast a must-listen for any Bigfoot believer.
