about the Field Experience

Olympic Strange Days

October 9 - 12, 2025

Through hands-on workshops, guided field investigations, and expert-led discussions, you'll explore the unexplained in the heart of the Olympic Peninsula.

Here’s what you need to know before you join us.

Eyes open,
mind ready.
Contact begins in the wild.

What is a "Field Experience" and What Can I Expect?

The OSD Field Experience is a community-supported, immersive research experience designed to deepen your understanding of the supernatural and paranormal. It’s an opportunity to engage directly with active "window areas"—locations known for concentrated high-strangeness phenomena.

This multi-day event takes place in one such area, where you’ll embed yourself in the landscape and explore the possibility of firsthand encounters. While no specific experience is guaranteed, you may engage with phenomena linked to Sasquatch, extraterrestrials, ghosts, Earth energetics, and other unexplained anomalies.

The goal isn’t just observation—it’s interaction and exploration, with a goal to expand both personal understanding and the collective knowledge of these mysteries.

The exact location details will be sent 48 hours before the event. Be prepared for remote terrain, deep wilderness, and a firsthand look at the unknown.
