Description

In this episode, we journey deep into the woods to explore one of the most iconic legends in cryptid lore: Bigfoot. From ancient indigenous stories to modern-day sightings, we look at the history, theories, and cultural obsession surrounding this elusive creature. We break down the most well-known encounters - including the infamous Patterson-Gimlin footage - and examine casts, hair samples, and even an FBI file. We also dive into wild theories: is Bigfoot a relic hominid, a government cover-up, or something... otherworldly? Whether you're a full-on believer or a skeptic with a soft spot for Harry and the Hendersons, this one's for you.
