BBC Radio 4 - Uncanny, Series 4, S4. Case 5: The Mystery of Willow Creek

We return to Fred’s story – will he and his relatives escape with their lives?

We return to Fred’s story about confronting terrifying creatures in the Alaskan wilderness. And Danny visits a town famous for America’s most notorious alleged Bigfoot sighting.

Alaskan huntsman Fred and his cousin and uncle are trapped in a cabin in the Alaskan wilderness, seemingly surrounded by terrifying creatures, resembling the local folk stories about Bigfoot or “the Hairy Man”. Can they escape with their lives? 

Also, Danny ventures to Humboldt County, site of some of America’s most famous alleged Bigfoot sightings, to talk to resident Native Americans about their ancient beliefs in these creatures and their own experiences. Is this a great American myth or could there really be a secret, undetected species living in the USA?
