The Ozarks have long been considered a hotspot for Sasquatch activity, and a fascinating interview recently surfaced that dives deep into one family's multi-generational encounters with both cryptids and UFOs in this mysterious region. The conversation features a guest named Leavonne sharing experiences that are sure to get any researcher thinking.

The fact that all of these events occurred within roughly 10 miles of each other is genuinely mind-blowing. Now for the Sasquatch content, which is where things get really compelling. In the winter of 2008, Leavonne and a friend began investigating strange occurrences around his friend's property near Lake of the Oz
