2:00:02Now PlayingWhat is really lurking in the forests of Land Between the Lakes? Returning guest and retired sheriff Martin Groves joins Tony Merkel once again after sharing some of the most gripping and disturbing Dogman and Bigfoot encounters ever discussed on the show in Episode 514, “Terror In The LBL,” and Episode 538, “Dogman’s Trace Of Death.” Drawing from years of investigating the strange activity surrounding this mysterious wilderness, Martin recounts encounters that seem to blur the line between flesh-and-blood creatures and something far more supernatural. As the conversation goes deeper, an unsettling possibility begins to emerge: what witnesses are seeing in these forests may only be one part of a much larger mystery connected to forces beyond our understanding. Through the fear, unanswered questions, and increasingly strange patterns surrounding these encounters, Martin ultimately points toward God as the answer to understanding what may truly be lurking beyond the veil.
Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
