Louisiana Researcher Shares Bigfoot and Dogman Encounters in Kisatchie Forest

There's something about Louisiana that keeps pulling people into the weird, and Scott Pace is living proof of that. A recent interview dropped on YouTube where Scott sat down with Chris Matthew from Forbidden Knowledge News to share some seriously mind-bending updates from his time in Kisatchie National Forest, and honestly, this one is worth carving out time for.
Scott has been on this journey for a while now. He's had run-ins with Bigfoot, Dogmen, and what he believes are extraterrestrial entities. His story was even featured in the documentary "Oult Louisiana," which is still floating around on Tubi if anyone wants to dig into his backstory. But this conversation goes way beyond what most people experience in the woods.
The campground he and his wife built on family land in Kisatchie has become ground zero for some absolutely wild activity. He's been clearing out thickets and brush, opening up sightlines into the forest, and along those two creeks running through the bottom of his property, things have been happening. Scott mentioned the red bugs and Louisiana heat forcing them to take a break for the summer, but the encounters haven't slowed down one bit.
Now, here's where it gets really interesting. Scott described a June 3rd, 2023 experience that sounds like something straight out of a contactee case from the 1950s, except this guy was lying in his own bed. He woke up to his cat going absolutely ballistic, meowing like crazy, and when he opened his eyes, his entire bedroom had transformed. The walls, the ceiling, the floor, all of it was gone. He was sitting in what he described as another solar system, surrounded by what looked like stars or lightning bugs filling the space where his room used to be.
He got up, went to the bathroom, washed his eyes out thinking he was hallucinating, and when he walked back in, the stars were still there. Then a voice came through and told him they were the "Altarians," described as blue people who said they were projecting themselves from a ship. They talked to him for about an hour or two, and here's the strange part, he doesn't remember most of it. His wife came upstairs after he called her, and she got to witness some of the star-like phenomena before the room returned to normal.
Scott brought up something that resonates with a lot of people who've had similar experiences, the memory wipe. It's a common thread in contact reports where experiencers can recall the encounter happening but the actual content gets fuzzy or disappears entirely. He tied it into a broader idea that humanity has been "dumbed down" and that there's a lot happening in space right now that most people aren't equipped to process.
But the encounters aren't just happening at night in his bedroom. Scott shared another experience from his hunting stand that will give anyone pause. He heard a noise that sounded exactly like a rolling garage door being pulled down in the middle of the national forest, followed by what he described as the sound of a dump truck dropping its load. That same morning, he spotted a massive dog-like creature with a head unlike anything he'd ever seen, crouched down and watching him the entire time he was hunting. It never approached, never acted aggressive, just observed.
That evening, the same strange noises returned. As the sun was setting, he looked out through a clearing and saw something rectangular projecting in the distance. It had different levels to it, almost like a layered structure, and it was only visible at a specific angle of the sun. Once the sun dropped below that threshold, the object vanished.
For anyone familiar with Louisiana cryptid reports, Kisatchie National Forest has long been a hotspot for unusual sightings. The Kisatchie area has produced accounts of large bipedal figures, strange canine creatures, and lights that don't behave like anything conventional. Scott's experiences fit into a broader pattern that researchers have been tracking across the Southeast for decades, where Bigfoot, Dogman, and UFO phenomena seem to overlap in the same locations.
What makes Scott's story stand out is the consistency. He's not a one-time witness. He's living on this land, spending extended time in the forest, and the encounters keep stacking up. The combination of Bigfoot-type activity, Dogman sightings, bedroom contact experiences, and structured craft observations all happening in the same stretch of Louisiana wilderness is exactly the kind of high-strangeness scenario that keeps researchers up at night.
The full conversation goes much deeper than what can be covered here, and Scott gets into more detail about the Altarian encounter, the hunting stand experience, and what he thinks is really going on. It's one of those interviews where the guest has so much to share that you almost wish it was a four-hour podcast instead.
Definitely worth checking out the full interview for anyone interested in Louisiana cryptid reports, contact experiences, or the ongoing mystery of what's happening in Kisatchie National Forest. Scott Pace is one of those witnesses whose story keeps getting stranger the more time he spends in those woods, and this update is no exception.
