about the Field Experience
Olympic Strange Days
October 1st - 3rd 2026
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.
Here you will get hands on training from our guest field guides who camp along side of you. Expect the unexpected and open your mind for this 3-day journey alongside other experiencers, explorers and researchers.
This multi-day event takes place in the heart of the Olympic's, where you’ll embed yourself amongst the majestic old growth trees, pristine rivers and explore the possibility of your own firsthand encounter. 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.
