Jason Kenzie is one of those investigators who doesn't just talk the talk—he's out there in the thick of it, boots on the ground, trekking off-trail into some of the most remote wilderness areas North America has to offer. And recently, he sat down for a fascinating chat on the Alien8UK YouTube channel where he opened up about some of his darkest encounters and shared insights that will leave you thinking long after the video ends.
Coming off a whirlwind tour that took him through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maine—where he spoke at a paranormal and Bigfoot conference—Kenzie also spent time investigating sightings in Ohio alongside Ron House from Bike of Bigfoot. The guy barely has time to catch his breath before he's heading to Oregon for Sasquatch Summerfest. Talk about dedication to the cause.
One of the most compelling parts of the conversation came when Kenzie described what it's like when these creatures decide to follow you through the forest. Unlike typical wildlife—which generally flees at the sound of human voices—Sasquatch seem to operate by entirely different rules. Kenzie, who spent 25 years as an animal photojournalist studying exotic animal behavior, knows this better than most. He's witnessed eye shine appearing all around him in the darkness, with the creatures seemingly encircling his position. That's the kind of encounter that would make even the most seasoned investigator's heart skip a beat.
The discussion also touched on those mysterious orbs and balls of light that so many witnesses report in Sasquatch hotspots. Kenzie shared his own experiences with these phenomena, describing how the orbs will move away when approached—almost as if they're aware of being observed. This connection between Sasquatch activity and unusual light phenomena has been documented in numerous locations across North America, with hotspots like Michigan's infamous "Michigan Triangle" and the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest often reporting overlapping Bigfoot and anomalous light sightings.
What really got my attention was Kenzie's take on what Sasquatch actually is. Drawing from interviews with hunters who have witnessed these beings up close—including some who have actually shot at them and seen them bleed—Kenzie leans toward the idea that these are living, breathing creatures with extraordinary abilities. He pointed to the fascinating parallel with polar bears, whose fur is hollow and transparent, allowing them to essentially disappear against the snow when light hits at certain angles. If Sasquatch possess similar biological capabilities, it could explain why witnesses so often report them vanishing right before their eyes.
The hollow fur theory isn't new in Bigfoot research, but it's always worth revisiting. Hair samples that have been analyzed over the years have sometimes shown unusual characteristics that don't match any known North American mammal, which only adds fuel to the fire for those of us who believe there's something genuinely unknown roaming these forests.
Kenzie also briefly touched on his Dogman research, mentioning his documentary "Searching for Sasquatch: The Dog Man," which is available on various streaming platforms including Amazon Prime in the UK. While the conversation got cut short before he could dive deep into his Dogman findings, it's clear he's taken that research seriously as well.
For anyone interested in hearing the full conversation—including more details about his encounters, his thoughts on the mysterious phenomena surrounding Sasquatch sightings, and what drives him to keep searching—definitely check out the video on the Alien8UK channel. Kenzie brings a unique perspective to the field, combining his wildlife photography background with genuine curiosity and respect for the unknown.
