I just rebranded my YouTube channel (formerly Sasquatch: Out of the Shadows) to "Aleks Petakov Adventures". I have a bunch of adventure, exploration, travel style and even review videos planned. If you're so inclined go on over and subscribe and check it out!
Join Aleks as he heads into the Angelina National Forest with local researcher Glenn Haskins to explore a remote area known for reported Sasquatch encounters, ghost stories, and even sightings of black panthers. Along the way, they investigate abandoned structures slowly being reclaimed by the forest and uncover the history and mysteries surrounding this fascinating location.
Bigfoot Beyond the Trail: Deep into the Pines premieres today at 2 PM ET.

Something is coming! Small Town Monsters presents On the Trail of UFOs: The Disclosure Era, arriving June 21 on YouTube and Beacon TV. This episodic series will drop a new episode every month! Our Kickstarter backers will be getting the digital version of the first few episodes very soon, so watch for updates on kickstarter!
From strange lights in the sky to encounters that still defy explanation, this new series explores the growing wave of sightings, witness testimony, and the unsettling question at the center of it all: what exactly are people seeing?
The next chapter begins soon.
This cryptid investigation is coming in 2026, thanks to the support of our Small Town Monsters backers.
The journey is still unfolding, and there’s still time to be part of STM by backing the campaign.
