Episode Details

In this gripping episode, we welcome Greg Ogles, an acclaimed American filmmaker, producer, and dedicated paranormal/cryptid investigator based in Birmingham, Alabama. As the founder and owner of Relic Films Media, Greg crafts compelling documentary-style investigations that delve into the shadowy realms of Bigfoot, enigmatic cryptids, and baffling unexplained disappearances.

His standout works include the acclaimed Cryptic Expeditions: The Legend of the Downey Booger (2018), the immersive Reclamation series, Cryptic Expeditions: The Land Between the Lakes, and his powerful latest release, The Vanished (premiered in 2026), which explores haunting mysteries of those who disappear without a trace in America's remote wilderness areas.

Greg's passion ignited in 2013 following a life-altering personal encounter, propelling him into a rigorous, evidence-based pursuit of the unknown. Renowned for his fearless, boots-on-the-ground approach, he ventures deep into isolated forests to document the extraordinary.

In this riveting conversation, Greg opens up about his firsthand experiences with the elusive "Boogers"—a regional term for the shadowy cryptid beings said to stalk the darkened woods. He recounts capturing compelling evidence of Sasquatch, witnessing eerie unexplained lights piercing the forest canopy, and a heart-stopping close encounter with a terrifying, rake-like entity that defies explanation.

Greg also shares his provocative insights on one of the most mind-bending theories in the field: interdimensional portals. Could some of these creatures be slipping in and out of our reality through hidden gateways? He vividly describes observing what appeared to be shimmering portals—one resembling a literal window into another realm—leaving us with the chilling question: What lies on the other side?
