It’s a question that feels especially alive each October. As days grow shorter, the air turns crisp, and there’s a quiet murmur in the woods, something ancient seems close enough to touch, hanging just around the edges of what we see and hear.
Across cultures, October’s seen as a time when barriers between realms loosen. In many traditions, it’s when the Veil between the physical and spiritual worlds stretches thin like the universe takes a deep breath, pausing to let a few of its secrets slip out.
So why October? Some say it’s the balance of light and shadow that perfect mix that opens gateways to other worlds. This thinning of the Veil isn’t just about spooky stories; it’s about connection. Dreams gain sharper edges, and reality feels like it’s brushing against something more.
Nature plays a big role too. As leaves crunch underfoot and mists wrap around trees, the atmosphere feels charged alive. Maybe the unseen worlds aren’t separate at all, just another side of the same coin. When October rolls around, it’s a reminder to listen, to notice the quiet magic unfolding around us.

Forests are far more than a sea of leaves and branches. They’re complex worlds where echoes of the past linger, and the present feels richer just by stepping in.
Historically, forests have been seen as mystical spaces settings for transformation, legends, and encounters. They act as energetic archives, storing sound, memory, and mystery. In my book, Paranormal Curiosities: Realm Uncovered, I explore how these spaces can feel alive in ways science still struggles to explain.
Author John Zada, in his insightful work, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond, ventured deep into British Columbia’s wilds in search of Sasquatch, weaving memoir with mysticism. He suggests forests don’t merely hide their inhabitants they remember them.
Time spent among trees is more than wandering trails. It’s tuning into the hum of energy that connects us to everything that’s come before.
Guardians of the Threshold: The Role of Sasquatch
When you picture Sasquatch, maybe you imagine a shadow in the trees but across many traditions, they aren’t monsters. They’re guardians.
Cultures worldwide describe them as protectors of balance and sacred energy. In The Quantum Bigfoot, Ronald Morehead suggests Sasquatch’s mysterious vanishing act might stem from vibration, not illusion existing on a higher energetic frequency that allows them to shift between realms.
It’s a concept that echoes what I wrote in Shadow Beings: Chosen by the Watchers. These entities may serve as custodians of thresholds keepers of harmony between the seen and unseen. Maybe Sasquatch aren’t avoiding us. Maybe they’re protecting the boundary itself.
Hidden Knowledge and Forgotten Connections
There’s a growing idea that all mysteries from sacred sites to cryptids, are linked through unseen energy. In my book, The Uncatalogued: Global Patterns of the Unexplained, I explore how these connections form an invisible web through time and geography.
Joshua Cutchin’s book, Where the Footprints End, builds on this, suggesting Sasquatch may move between worlds—not fully physical, not entirely spiritual, but straddling the boundary between both. His work connects folklore, quantum theory, and consciousness, hinting at a broader design behind what we call “paranormal.”
Hidden knowledge isn’t gone. It’s simply veiled beneath layers of disbelief, waiting for us to remember how to see it again.
Who’s Really Hiding? Them or Us?
Maybe it isn’t the unseen that’s hiding. Maybe we are.
In The Echoes They Left Behind, I wrote about emotion as energy that ripples through existence. Love, grief, and memory leave echoes vibrations that cross realms. Perhaps Sasquatch and spirits have always been near, but our modern noise keeps us from hearing them.
We built our own veil: disbelief, distraction, digital walls. But the world never stopped whispering. We just stopped listening.
Entrances, Portals, and Home: Sasquatch’s Sacred Sites
Ancient legends describe hidden caverns and mist-filled valleys where reality bends. These aren’t underworlds they’re energetic intersections.
To Sasquatch, they might simply be home.
If these places are energetic crossroads, then Sasquatch may guard them not from us but for us, protecting balance between the physical and spiritual. These stories flip the script: maybe the wilderness isn’t empty; maybe it’s sacred space watched over by the unseen.
And for a dramatic, fictional glimpse at what happens when these two worlds collide, Max Brooks’ highly-acclaimed novel, Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, explores the terrifying consequences of civilization encroaching on the Sasquatch’s deep, protective territory.
When the Veil Thins: A Call to Awareness
As October deepens, the air thickens with possibility. Nights grow longer, dreams sharpen, and the forest grows still. That’s when the Veil flickers reminding us we’re part of something vast.
Each book mentioned here, whether mine or those by my colleagues, reveals another layer of the same story: the mystery just beyond the mist.
