Jessi and Joe Doyle are the dynamic duo behind Hellbent Holler, a field-based cryptid and paranormal research team known for their immersive investigations into the unexplained phenomena of the Appalachian region. Operating primarily in the dense forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains—including areas like the Chattahoochee-Oconee National Forest and the Land Between the Lakes—their work focuses on uncovering evidence of elusive entities such as Bigfoot, Dogman, and other mysterious creatures.

Jessi, originally from western North Carolina, spent a decade in New Orleans exploring its rich tapestry of folklore and the occult. Her experiences there deepened her interest in the supernatural, leading her to return to the Appalachian Mountains to pursue her passion for cryptid research. Joe, her partner in both life and investigation, complements the team with his expertise in fieldcraft and survival skills. Together, they employ a blend of traditional investigative techniques and modern technology, utilizing tools such as night-vision equipment, audio recorders, and thermal imaging to document their findings.

Their approach is characterized by a commitment to on-the-ground exploration, often venturing into remote and rugged terrains to gather firsthand evidence. This hands-on methodology has led them to document a range of anomalous phenomena, from unexplained vocalizations and footprints to eerie encounters that defy conventional explanation.

Beyond their fieldwork, Jessi and Joe share their adventures and findings through their Hellbent Holler platform, which includes a YouTube channel featuring documentaries and investigative footage. Their content not only showcases their discoveries but also aims to educate and engage the public in discussions about the unknown.

Their dedication to exploring the mysteries of the natural world has positioned them as prominent figures in the field of cryptozoology and paranormal research. Through Hellbent Holler, Jessi and Joe continue to push the boundaries of conventional investigation, driven by a shared passion for uncovering the truths that lie hidden in the shadows of the wilderness.
