What happens when a lifelong Connecticut resident starts noticing strange voices, broken trees, and something watching from the woods — all just feet from his suburban home?

JJ shares his years-long journey documenting the unknown — and how it all connects to a mysterious local history...
What happens when a lifelong Connecticut resident starts noticing strange voices, broken trees, and something watching from the woods — all just feet from his suburban home? In this chilling and thought-provoking episode, we sit down with JJ Messenger, a witness from Barkhamsted, Connecticut, whose story begins with a mother seeing glowing eyes at the window… and escalates into unexplained gifts, roof footsteps, and strange voices recorded deep in People’s State Forest. JJ shares his years-long journey documenting the unknown — and how it all connects to a mysterious local history of “wild men” dating back to the 1800s. You'll hear stories from Winstead, Colbrook, and the heavily guarded Barkhamsted Reservoir — and a firsthand account of the day something peeked up from behind a log... and blinked. Is it Bigfoot? Is it something more? This episode dives deep into audio evidence, potential paranormal overlap, and the spiritual theories behind these elusive beings. A must-listen for believers, skeptics, and anyone who's ever wondered what's really out there in the woods.
