Description
TW: No triggers I can see.Bigfoot is Appalachia's most well-known cryptid. Probably the entire US, really. How have I made it this long without making an episode about the big, hairy guy himself? Part I of this two parter gives some Bigfoot basics, like a very brief overview on his appearance, his supposed communication methods, and territorial markings believed to be displayed by the Sasquatch. Then I go into a few Appalachian-based Bigfoot sightings. One of which is a full story from the witness, the others are synopses of the encounters. This is overall a research episode, not a story based one. Overall for a cryptid his lore is more cryptozoological rather than paranormal.I'm eager for next episode when we can talk about some of the absolute insanity that are the theories on his origin.Find me on social media at Obscure Appalachia.To support the podcast and get bonus episodes visit patreon.com/obscureappalachiaSubmit your true paranormal stories or love letters to [email protected] videos referenced in the episode:Pennsylvania White Bigfoot - slowed down - YouTubeOlympic Bigfoot - Beyond the Trail new Sasquatch evidence documentary On the Trail of Bigfoot tie-in - YouTubePrimary source for experiences:Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization - They're so great, y'all.
