Utah Bigfoot Investigator Rex Shares Chilling Wilderness Encounters

So there's this interview floating around YouTube that every serious researcher needs to carve out time for. The Paranormal Review sat down with Rex from Wasatch Sasquatch, and the conversation gets into some genuinely fascinating territory about what it really takes to do this kind of work in the field. Rex has been at this since around 2016, originally running his channel under the name Wasatch Windendo before rebranding. What makes his perspective interesting is how he stumbled into the research almost by accident. He was already spending time in the Utah mountains doing landscape photography and rockhounding (Topaz Mountain and Red Beryl are apparently on his radar too), so getting out into remote areas wasn't new to him. The Sasquatch angle came after he started watching Rio's old Utah Sasquatch videos. Rio had this whole challenge going where he encouraged people to stop being armchair investigators and actually get off the trails into the deep wilderness. Rex took that challenge personally, especially since Payson Canyon was practically in his backyard. One of the early stories he shared is worth paying attention to. He was way up Payson Canyon, almost to Mount Nebo, filming in the dark when these blood-curdling screams started echoing through the trees. He managed to capture audio, though he admits there's a chance it could have been humans. But here's the thing, he says, the sounds were unusual for people. And he mentioned something that resonates with a lot of field researchers: strange phenomena tend to cluster together. Equipment acting up, weird feelings, unexplained sounds, sometimes orbs showing up on camera. It's like the encounters come packaged with other oddities that don't fit neatly into any conventional explanation. What I appreciated about Rex's take is his honesty about the belief spectrum. He wasn't some hardened skeptic who got converted by a single experience. He already leaned toward believing something was out there, partly because of the Patterson-Gimlin footage and partly because he's the type who takes conspiracy-adjacent ideas seriously enough to investigate them himself. But he makes a solid point that resonates with anyone who's spent real time in the field: it's easy to dismiss the whole subject from a couch in a city apartment. It's another thing entirely when you're five or ten miles into the wilderness and something starts making sounds that don't match anything in your mental catalog of known animals. He hasn't had a visual encounter yet, though he mentions knowing credible people who have. His preference seems to be a daylight sighting from a safe distance, which honestly sounds like the sane approach. The full interview is worth watching for anyone interested in how weekend researchers actually operate in the Wasatch range and what keeps them motivated after years of searching without definitive proof. Rex comes across as genuine, grounded, and willing to share both the exciting moments and the frustrating ones. Check it out on The Paranormal Review's channel.
