A fascinating interview recently popped up on the Paranormal Among Us YouTube channel featuring Matt Langford, a Texas-based researcher who has not only had not one, but two close encounters with what he believes to be a Sasquatch. The conversation is a goldmine for anyone interested in real witness testimony, and Matt comes across as genuine, grounded, and refreshingly open-minded about the unexplained.
Matt's first encounter happened on May 20, 2019, in Central Texas, and he describes the subject as absolutely massive. After nearly seven years of searching, he had a second sighting on May 17th of this year, which is remarkable considering how elusive these beings tend to be. The fact that he has now seen one twice in the wild puts him in a very small club of credible witnesses.
What makes this interview especially interesting is Matt's broader perspective on the paranormal. He admits he has never personally seen a ghost or a UFO, but his game cameras have been capturing some wild stuff, including orbs and other anomalies he can't explain. He talks about how getting into Sasquatch research over the last seven years has opened his eyes to all kinds of strange phenomena, and he's clearly the type of person who doesn't dismiss things just because he hasn't experienced them firsthand. That kind of open-mindedness is exactly what this field needs more of.
The conversation also touches on Matt's childhood in Texas during the late 1960s, when the infamous Lake Worth Monster, sometimes called the Goatman, was making headlines. For those unfamiliar, the Lake Worth Monster sightings near Fort Worth in 1969 drew hundreds of curious onlookers to the area, with reports of a creature that could supposedly stop thrown tires mid-flight. Matt grew up hearing those stories, which clearly shaped his curiosity about the weird and unknown.
The hosts also chat about upcoming events worth keeping an eye on. Bryce Edwards, who was filling in for the regular co-host Natalie, mentions the Southern Illinois Bigfoot Conference happening September 5th at the historic Granada Theater in Mount Vernon, Illinois. The lineup sounds stacked, with researchers like Ken Martin Groves, Chad Lewis, Todd Nice, the Squatchers, and Harold Benny all slated to speak. There's also mention of a Sasquatch and Dog Man weekend campout at Amas Hunter Asylum in Marthasville, Missouri, which sounds like an unforgettable experience for anyone who wants to spend a night in a reportedly very active location.
Matt's story is a reminder that these encounters are still happening, and that credible, everyday people are out there having life-changing experiences in the woods. If you haven't checked out the full interview yet, it's absolutely worth the listen. Matt's energy, honesty, and willingness to talk about everything from his sightings to the strange stuff showing up on his cameras makes this one of those conversations that sticks with you.
