In August 2020, Casey, a lifelong hiker and camper from southern Utah, was camping north of Cedar City with a friend and their kids. That night, sitting in his tent, he kept getting a strange feeling and looked toward the tree line about sixty feet away. He saw two sets of eyes, one higher than the other, and then a third set a few feet away. He told himself it was probably owls, but the distance between the eyes and how far apart they were didn't match a bird. The next morning, his son said he had seen a silhouette walk past the back of the tent during the night. That was Casey's first real encounter, and it set off a string of experiences over the next five years in the forests and campsites north and east of Cedar City, Utah.

What you'll learn

  • 1 (03:13) **First Realization & Initial Camping Encounter** - Casey describes how watching a documentary about the Patty-Gimlin film in 2019 first made him consider the possibility of Bigfoot, leading to his first real experience in August 2020 near Cedar City.
  • 2 (09:00) **Second Camping Trip & Solidifying the Phenomenon** - Casey recounts a trip to Pine Valley Reservoir in April 2021 where deer fleeing the area and other odd occurrences began to solidify his belief that something real was happening.

Show Notes

In this episode, we delve into the extraordinary experiences of Kasey from Southern Utah, a lifelong hiker and camper who began noticing something unusual during family trips in the rugged hills near Cedar City and Pine Valley Reservoir. What started as a quiet night under the stars soon unfolded into glowing eyes at the tree line, a shadow moving past a tent in the moonlight, and footprints pressed deep into the earth with striking detail.


Over the years, repeated visits to a remote creek campsite revealed towering wood structures, trees snapped in unsettling ways, and moments in the dark that shifted the atmosphere entirely. With each trip, the activity seemed to build — subtle at first, then undeniable. A low growl from the brush. Movement just beyond the reach of a flashlight. Physical evidence left behind in places few people travel.


Kasey shares his journey thoughtfully, reflecting on the land, the history of Southern Utah stretching toward Arizona, and the possibility that something has long moved through these canyon corridors. From tracks and structures to deeper questions about awareness and connection, his account paints a vivid picture of Bigfoot’s presence in the Southwest.


Join us as we explore Kasey’s unfolding encounters and the mysterious presence that lingers in the wild landscapes of Utah.
