Former police officer and longtime Ontario Bigfoot researcher Onil DasGoupta joins The Bigfoot Underground for one of our most thought-provoking conversations yet.

What begins as a discussion about eyewitness reports, investigations, and years spent searching for Sasquatch quickly turns into a deep exploration of experiences that challenge conventional explanations.

Onil shares how a fellow police officer's encounter changed the course of his research, why he stepped away from organized investigations, and the personal experiences that transformed his understanding of the phenomenon. The conversation also covers his reported telepathic experiences, the story of a female Sasquatch he calls "Lily," meditation, and why he believes connecting with Sasquatch is about far more than collecting evidence.

Whether you agree with his conclusions or remain skeptical, this is an interview that explores one of the most controversial perspectives in modern Bigfoot research.

Topics include:

• A police officer's eyewitness encounter
• Years of Sasquatch investigations across Ontario
• Reported telepathic communication
• The story of "Lily"
• Meditation and reported Sasquatch encounters
• Why Onil no longer seeks to prove Bigfoot to others
• The spiritual side of the Bigfoot mystery

A trained scientist. A routine hike. One decision that changed everything. In tonight’s episode, a field researcher shares a chilling encounter that took place in the remote mountains of Colorado while hiking with a group of fellow biology students. At first, everything was normal. But at one point during the hike, she separated briefly from the group—stepping off the trail to head back on her own. That’s when it happened. Alone in the wilderness, she noticed something watching her from the treeline… a massive, upright figure standing completely still. Not an animal she could identify. Not anything that made sense. A presence. She made it back—but something wasn’t right. Shortly after the encounter, she was overcome with a sudden and intense sickness—nausea, disorientation, and a lingering feeling that something had happened she couldn’t fully explain. Then came the impossible. Her backpack—carrying essential gear—went missing. The area was searched. Carefully. Repeatedly. It was gone. Until later… when it reappeared in a place she knew had already been checked. No explanation. No disturbance. No answers. She was the only one who saw it. But whatever happened out there didn’t stay in the woods. Tonight, we dive into a firsthand account that blurs the line between science and the unknown
