Investigating Bigfoot and Dog-Man Encounters in Pennsylvania's Shenango Valley

So I stumbled across this documentary-style video the other day, and honestly, it got my brain buzzing in a way I wasn't expecting. It's a full-on investigation into Dog-Man and werewolf sightings across America, but what really hooked me was how the witnesses tied their experiences back to Sasquatch lore in ways I hadn't heard before.
The video follows a researcher named Chad, who teamed up with a skeptic named Ward and a camera operator named Justin to track down witnesses in the Shenango Valley of Western Pennsylvania. Right off the bat, I appreciated that they brought a grounded perspective along for the ride. It makes the whole thing feel more balanced, you know?
The first witnesses they sit down with are Jami and Jenny King, paranormal investigators who've been exploring the Shenango Valley since they were kids. Their story is wild. After Jami's father passed away, they went hiking on a turkey trail, and Jami said a prayer asking his dad for a sign. What happened next was something neither of them could explain. They heard this massive vocalization that literally shook their bodies, made their vision blurry, and rippled a puddle right in front of them. When they got home and started researching animal sounds, they couldn't match it to anything until a friend told them to look up Bigfoot vocalizations.
That's when they found "The Ohio Howl." And the moment they heard it, they both knew. That's what they heard, except way louder and bigger. What makes their story really stand out is the spiritual turn it took. Jami connected the encounter to the last movie he watched with his dad before he died, "Harry and the Hendersons." From there, their whole investigation shifted into studying the 12 universal laws, the power of thoughts and prayers, and even experimenting with CSETI protocols, the same ones Dr. Steven Greer uses for ET contact. They mentioned having some seriously cool encounters through that work, and they're not afraid to sit in the forest and communicate with whatever might be there, whether it's the Fae or something else entirely.
I loved that they called out the divisions in the research community. They pointed out how some folks are stuck on wanting physical evidence only, while others lean fully into the spiritual side. Their take? Just be yourself and if you get results, that's what matters.
The next witness they visit is Albert Walker, who's been having experiences in the Shenango Valley for over 40 years. He claims to have seen both Sasquatch and Dog-Man near protected federal land. When they asked if he'd been actively looking for these things, he laughed and said, "Nobody looks for it. He'll let you know." That kind of stuck with me. There's something about that approach, just being present and letting whatever's out there come to you, that feels right.
The video is part of a larger project called "American Werewolves," and it's produced by the Small Town Monsters crew. If you're into Dog-Man encounters, spiritual investigation angles, or just love hearing from witnesses who've had genuinely unexplainable experiences, this one's worth checking out. The way the Kings blend their paranormal investigation work with Sasquatch lore is something I haven't seen done quite like this before.
Definitely give it a watch if you get the chance. It's a fascinating look at how these cryptid encounters overlap with each other in ways that challenge what we think we know.
