AI Summary
5 min readA guest named Jennifer, a lifelong Massachusetts resident, tells host Jeremiah Byron about two strange experiences near her family’s townhouse at Jiminy Peak in the Berkshires. She is careful not to overclaim—she never saw a Bigfoot—but after listening to Bigfoot Society and other podcasts, she began to wonder whether odd events she had filed away might fit a pattern reported by other witnesses. The conversation also explores the overlap between Bigfoot encounters and other paranormal phenomena, and the difficulty of reconciling a purely biological animal with experiences that seem to involve sensory distortion or even something “woo-adjacent.”
The Jiminy Peak Incident: A Hard Hit and a Guttural Growl
Jennifer’s primary story takes place during “shoulder season” at her family’s townhouse at Jiminy Peak, a ski resort in the far northwest corner of Massachusetts, about a mile from the New York border. The area is rural, near the Appalachian Trail and Mount Greylock, which has its own history of sightings. One night during mud season, she took her dogs out to a small patch of woods near the condo. As the dogs entered the treeline, all three of them heard a low, guttural growl. “All three of us just took off,” she says. The dogs were done, and they all ran back inside.

Show Notes
What began as a quiet night at her townhouse during the off-season suddenly turned tense when a deep, guttural growl came from the trees just beyond the property. Not long after, something struck the building with enough force to shake the entire structure. The area was silent, the neighboring units were empty, and the source of the impact remained a mystery.
Jennifer also recounts an unsettling moment along a forested stretch of road near Blandford State Forest, where the natural sounds of the landscape suddenly vanished and an overwhelming feeling of unease took hold. As she reflects on these experiences, Jennifer explores how these strange events fit into the growing number of reports coming from the Berkshires and surrounding wilderness.
Her story offers a fascinating glimpse into the quieter encounters people experience in places where mountains, forests, and long stretches of isolation create the perfect environment for the unexplained. Join us as we explore Jennifer’s intriguing experiences and the lingering question of what might be watching from the woods of western Massachusetts.
