Inside Area X, Oklahoma: What’s Happened in the Last 5 Years

In this episode, we explore the recent experiences of Rick, a board member of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy, who has spent the last five years conducting boots-on-the-ground research in a remote region of southeast Oklahoma known as Area X. Making repeated trips from Arizona into the rugged Ouachita Mountains, Rick shares what has unfolded during ongoing field operations in one of the most closely studied Bigfoot research areas in the country.


He describes active nights in camp marked by rocks landing at their feet, trees being pushed over shortly after arrival, and loud strikes against cabin walls in the early morning hours. Rick recounts a daylight sighting witnessed by a teammate of a reddish-brown upright figure moving through sunlight, as well as thermal imagery captured during a tense bluff charge near camp. He details the discovery of extensive trackways circling structures and skirting camp perimeters, small human-like footprints found in the dirt, gray figures moving through thick brush, and preserved hair samples awaiting future analysis.


Rick also discusses the introduction of an all-female field team designed to observe activity patterns from a different angle, along with reports of guttural “faux speech” vocalizations heard before dawn near the cabins. Drawing from five years of continued investigation, he offers insight into how the activity in Area X has evolved and what long-term research in a single location reveals about these elusive beings.


Join us as we step into the woods of southeast Oklahoma and examine what has been unfolding in Area X over the last five years.
