Investigator Shares Bigfoot Clan Discovery and 1993 Portal Entity Encounter

So I was scrolling through YouTube the other night, looking for something fresh to dig into, and I stumbled across a conversation that honestly gave me chills. The Confessionals channel recently had Martin Groves in studio, and let me tell you, this one goes deep. We're talking Bigfoot, Dogman, portals, and the whole eerie mystery surrounding Land Between the Lakes. If you haven't checked it out yet, do yourself a favor and go watch it. Martin opens up about how he didn't exactly choose the Bigfoot life, it kind of chose him. He describes being dragged into this world "kicking and screaming," going from farm to farm, person to person, just trying to live a normal life. But once he started investigating, things got wild fast. He talks about one particular case where he and his team zeroed in on an area after speaking with a witness, and what they uncovered was a whole clan of Sasquatch living right there in those woods. Now here's where it gets really interesting. Martin brings up something that lines up with what a lot of Native American tribes have passed down for generations. There's a common thread among these tribes, and it's this: don't go into the woods at night and whistle. And if you hear a whistle back, do not respond. Martin actually went up to the top of a ridge and whistled himself. What came back wasn't just an echo. He describes screaming and a guttural growl that sounded like it came straight from the pits of hell. That's not something you forget. But the part that really got me was the portal encounter. While all this chaos was happening, with entities surrounding them on the hill, in front, and on both flanks, Martin and his team had contact with what he believes was a portal. He describes a haze forming at first, coming out of a tree, and then immediately taking the shape of a Dogman, a werewolf-like creature, before ducking down behind the tree and disappearing into a ravine. Whether these beings are flesh and blood or something more paranormal, Martin is convinced it's all connected. The conversation also drifts into some heavier territory. They talk about the split nature of Sasquatch. Some people swear these beings are forest protectors, guardians even. Others have stories that paint a much darker picture, including accounts from Native American tribes that describe them as cannibalistic, with everything on the menu. Martin and the host both admit they're conflicted. Is there a good Bigfoot? Is there a bad one? Honestly, nobody really knows for sure, and the eyewitness testimony out there is all over the map. They get into some pretty intense stories too. There's an old tale about a kill team that went out to take care of a rowdy clan of Sasquatch out in the Colorado or Montana area, and they allegedly had to helicopter bodies out. Then there's the story of an old-timer who was attacked, had a Sasquatch on top of him, and only survived because he managed to get a point-blank shot to the eye. And when they start talking about hunters and hikers disappearing in national parks, things get even more unsettling. Martin points out that when a bear takes a person, you usually find something, a boot, bone fragments, teeth, scat with bits of remains. But the ones who vanish without a trace? That's a whole different mystery. David Polites' cases come up, including those bizarre instances where clothes are found folded neatly near where someone disappeared. That detail alone is enough to keep you up at night. They also touch on Dogman, and this is where the vibe shifts even darker. Martin has friends on both sides of the fence, some who say Bigfoot and Dogman have protected them and even saved their lives, and others who've had nothing but terrifying encounters. When it comes to Dogman specifically, Martin points out something fascinating. The only positive experiences he's ever heard about came from people who were children when it happened. Adults? Not so much. That says a lot. Martin also shares that his own experience in 1993 almost made him a statistic, and it was nothing like Harry and the Hendersons waving him in for popcorn and pine oats. Whatever he encountered out there was not friendly. The whole conversation is layered with so much to unpack. Portals, clans, disappearances, conflicting testimonies about the nature of these beings. It's the kind of discussion that reminds you just how much we still don't understand about what's walking beside us in these woods. If any of this piques your curiosity, head over to The Confessionals on YouTube and give it a listen. Trust me, you'll want to hear the whole thing.
