In 2018, Gloria loaded her children into her lifted Jeep and drove into Oregon's Silver Falls Wilderness area to clear her head after an argument. She had been told not to go out there alone, but she knew the roads and trusted her vehicle. What began as a late-night drive turned into an encounter that would reshape her understanding of what lives in the remote forests of the Pacific Northwest.
The First Encounter: A Road That Shouldn't Have Been Open
Gloria drove for about an hour and a half on a narrow dirt road with a cliff on one side and a hillside on the other. The road was tight even for her lifted Jeep. She noticed snow on the ground, which seemed odd for early fall, but she kept going. Then she started seeing shadows crossing the road ahead—upright shadows, larger than the road signs, moving on two legs. At first she dismissed them as her lights reflecting off the snow, but the shadows kept appearing, and soon she could see them in her rearview mirror and in the trees alongside her vehicle.
"I got this really eerie feeling like I shouldn't be down here," she told the host.

Show Notes
Gloria was traveling with her children when multiple upright shadows began crossing through her headlights. The figures moved closer as she climbed higher into the mountains. After she turned the Jeep around, a massive figure charged down the hillside and struck the vehicle, pushing one tire over the edge of a steep drop. When Gloria reached home, she discovered a huge hand-shaped dent in the side of the Jeep.
Years later, Gloria’s family began experiencing repeated activity at secluded campsites in Oregon’s Klamath area. Seven family members have reportedly witnessed figures near the trees and creek. They have also documented enormous tracks, handprints on their RV, strange vocalizations, camp disturbances, and small objects apparently left in response to gifts.
Gloria shares the full story of the night near Silver Falls, the unsettling history of the locked road, and the encounters her family says are still happening today.
