MATHEW TABLER LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST CALIFORNIA NOV 2025

In this episode of Sasquatch Theory, I interview Matt from South-Central California, who brings an extraordinary collection of encounters involving Bigfoot, a lake monster, tribal knowledge, and even UFO activity within his own family.

Matt’s first encounter happened in 1997 while riding bikes with a friend in the Los Padres National Forest. After smelling a horrible odor in the air, he noticed a huge black arm reaching from the treeline—long, muscular, and covered in thick hair. Moments before seeing the arm, he heard a powerful limb snap deep in the woods. Tribal elders later told him these beings exist and that only certain people are chosen to experience them. Not long after, Matt began noticing trees marked and damaged in strange patterns, as if something was laying out territorial signs in the forest. Four months later, his experiences escalated.

While canoeing on a lake revered by Native Americans as a portal and access point to the ocean, something enormous rose beneath the canoe and shoved it out of the water. The creature’s back was covered in scales the size of dinner plates. Tribal elders confirmed the presence of lake monsters in the region. Matt believes the creature may have been related to the legendary Loch Ness-type beings described around the world. Adding another layer to the mystery, Matt shares his grandfather’s UFO encounter—and how the photograph he captured mysteriously disappeared. Throughout this episode, Matt discusses the paranormal events that seem connected to his family line and the locations where these encounters occurred. This is a powerful, multi-phenomena story that brings Bigfoot, water creatures, portals, and UFOs into one cohesive timeline.
