Sasquatch Museum Founder Shares Personal Encounters and Beliefs

# When Sasquatch Sings: Jim Myers' Unforgettable Wilderness Encounter A fascinating interview recently surfaced on YouTube through The Cryptid Crew Podcast, featuring Jim Myers — a name that should ring a bell for anyone familiar with the Sasquatch research community. Myers is the co-host of the *Sasquatch Beyond the Outpost* podcast, founder of the Sasquatch Outpost Gift Shop and Museum, and the mind behind Rabbit Hole Adventures, a guided expedition outfit operating out of the Bailey, Colorado area. The conversation is packed with firsthand accounts that will leave your jaw on the floor. Myers opens up about a deeply personal encounter that happened at 3:00 in the morning. Something shook his bed, waking both him and his partner. Then, a light — described as shining down from above — illuminated their 8-foot-high tent for roughly ten seconds before vanishing. No explanation, no source. Just one of those high-strangeness moments that seem to follow Sasquatch encounters like a shadow. The museum Myers runs is worth noting on its own. Built originally in 2013 and expanded multiple times since, it has welcomed an estimated 200,000 visitors from over 140 countries. Every U.S. state has been represented. That kind of foot traffic speaks volumes about the global fascination with these elusive forest dwellers. But the real meat of the interview comes when Myers describes two specific encounters from last season's expeditions. **The Tailgate Incident at Lost Creek Wilderness** During a camping trip, one participant opted to sleep in a truck-topper tent rather than a ground tent — something Myers usually discourages because ground tents allow you to hear everything happening around you. Sure enough, at 4:00 AM, that's exactly where the action happened. The tailgate was thrown open with enough force to rock the entire truck, sending the lantern swinging wildly. Three large grunts — comparable to a horse's vocalization — followed immediately beneath the camper. The whole thing was recorded, and everyone in the vehicle heard the commotion. **The Singing at Buffalo Peaks Wilderness** This one is the encounter that will stay with you. During a night hike into an area Myers had never visited at night, the group came across a dead log. He handed his hickory stick to a woman in the group and asked her to strike the log twice. Within three seconds, two loud knocks came back from up the hill — and there was absolutely no one else out there. No vehicles, no way for another person to have reached that position. The group pushed on to a large aspen grove, and that's when things escalated. Someone whistled at them from up the hill — a clear, human-sounding whistle. Then, something extraordinary happened. What Myers can only describe as singing began. Two distinct voices interacted: one carried a melody, and a second voice added a deep "woo" at the end of each phrase. The group captured two recordings of this sound. Myers had never heard anything like it before or since. After roughly 30 minutes of this melodic exchange, an enormous noise erupted — Myers believes something large shoved a tree over — and everything stopped. All sound ceased, as if a presence had intervened and declared the interaction over. The group waited another 15 minutes before heading out. Myers reflects on this moment with genuine emotion. Why, he wondered, would he ever fear these beings when they communicate through something as beautiful as song? The intention was clearly not aggression — it was connection. Throughout the interview, Myers shares his broader philosophy: Sasquatch are not undiscovered apes. They are intelligent, emotional beings — possibly human in origin — with abilities that far surpass our own. He mentions telepathic communication, the ability to heal even terminal illnesses, the power to appear and disappear at will, eyes that emit rather than reflect light, and superhuman strength capable of uprooting trees and driving them back into the ground upside down. He also discusses his active gifting program, located about 15 minutes from his home on a remote mountainside with no trail. Over the years, Sasquatch have taken well over 150 objects from this site and occasionally left items behind that Myers and his team did not place there. The Bailey, Colorado area has long been considered a hotspot for Sasquatch activity, and the Lost Creek and Buffalo Peaks Wilderness areas are no strangers to reports either. Wood-knocking responses, whistling, and vocalizations have been documented across hundreds of encounters throughout the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains, and Appalachians. What makes Myers' account stand out is the musical quality of the interaction — something rarely described in such vivid detail. This interview is a must-watch for anyone serious about understanding the depth and variety of Sasquatch interactions. Myers brings decades of experience, a museum's worth of evidence, and a perspective that treats these beings with the respect they deserve.
