The Gates of Hell, Shadow Entities, and Bigfoot in Oklahoma
In this episode, Heather Woodward sits down with Jason Walker to talk about the kind of paranormal encounters that don’t fade with time. Jason has been doing this work for decades, and his stories hit every layer of the weird: childhood encounters with so-called devil worshipers, a run-in at an infamous “Gates of Hell” cemetery, and entities that moved with purpose instead of drifting like typical hauntings.
In this episode, Heather Woodward sits down with Jason Walker to talk about the kind of paranormal encounters that don’t fade with time. Jason has been doing this work for decades, and his stories hit every layer of the weird: childhood encounters with so-called devil worshipers, a run-in at an infamous “Gates of Hell” cemetery, and entities that moved with purpose instead of drifting like typical hauntings.
Jason breaks down the terrain that magnetizes activity. Moving water. Old cemeteries. Storm fronts. Places with a long memory and a short fuse. He talks about the patterns he’s seen across Oklahoma, including Bigfoot sightings that overlap with classic ghost-hunting hotspots, and why some locations seem to stack phenomena instead of specializing in one thing.
Heather and Jason dig into the mechanics of investigation: what equipment actually matters, what people get wrong, and why “more gear” doesn’t equal more evidence. They talk about intuition, environmental triggers, and how the field splits between people who chase thrills and people who recognize they’re dealing with something intelligent.
This episode isn’t about debunking or confirming anything. It’s about acknowledging the complexity of the work and the places that demand respect.
