If you haven't checked out the latest episode from Bigfoot Society with Jeremiah Byron, you're missing one of the most layered encounters to come out of Belton, Texas in recent memory. This one has everything — UFO sightings, spiritual warfare, childhood government testing programs, and a face-to-face moment with something that absolutely should not be walking around in the dark. The guest is Jaden Kuharski, a carpenter and dad from Oklahoma who happens to be the father of Elliot Kuharski — the same young man whose Belton, Texas guest house story was featured on a previous episode. Jeremiah tracked Jaden down after Elliot's account referenced his father's experiences multiple times, and what unfolded in this conversation is honestly hard to put into a neat little box. Here's the setup. Elliot had been dealing with strange activity at the guest house he was staying at — things running off the roof, a gargoyle-like figure appearing in his room, the whole unsettling package. Jaden and his wife drove down from Houston to check on him. On the walk to the guest house that evening, Jaden and Elliot spotted something in the sky. A bright object, not a plane, not the space station, moving in a southwesterly direction. They watched it together before heading inside. Then came the 2:28 AM wake-up. Jaden mentions he frequently wakes at the "witching hour" — 2:30 or 3 in the morning — and that a lot of significant events in his life have happened at that time. He had been fasting all week for spiritual reasons, trying to quiet his flesh and open himself up. He felt compelled to go outside and pray, walking the perimeter of the property while scanning the tree line. No gun, no phone — just him and whatever was out there. And then he saw it. A massive flash. Something dropped right into the guest house room. Jeremiah even heard it from inside. Now, here's where Jaden's backstory gets really interesting. He grew up in California and was part of the GATE program — the Gateway Process — where children were tested for things like remote viewing, frequency hearing, and other psychic abilities. Pink drinks, pink pills, headphones, the whole deal. He says his brain just operates differently, and he's spent much of his life being more sensitive to things most people walk right past. The encounter itself, as the episode title hints, involves a white-eyed giant — a figure Jaden came face to face with during his time on that property. The full details of that confrontation are worth hearing in his own words, because the way he describes it carries a weight that a summary just can't capture. Belton, Texas has been a hot spot for unusual sightings for a while now, and this family connection between father and son — both having experiences in the same location — adds a fascinating layer to the ongoing conversation. Whether you approach these stories from a spiritual angle, a paranormal research angle, or a straight-up cryptid angle, this episode hits all three. Do yourself a favor and go give it a listen. Jeremiah Byron does a great job letting Jaden tell his story without rushing him, and the context about the GATE program alone makes this one worth your time.
