#24 / Joshua Cutchin & Timothy Renner on 'Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the Bigfoot Phenomenon'.

This week we are joined by Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner to
discuss the book they co-authored, ‘Where the Footprints End’, an
exploration into the high strangeness surrounding the bigfoot
phenomena.


Joshua is an author and musician, and a well known figure in
paranormal circles having appeared on some of the best known
paranormal podcasts out there. Timothy is also a musician and
author and on top of that he's a brilliant illustrator and host
of the superb Strange familiars podcast. 


So, what’s the premise of the book? Despite their apparently
physical nature, bigfoot and its hairy hominid kin consistently
appear mired in High Strangeness—the peculiar, ineffable, and
nonsensical absurdities so often encountered in paranormal
phenomena. Some sightings seem more consistent with mythology
than biology. Bigfoot often present supernatural attributes, like
luminescent eyes or the ability to pass, ghostlike, through
structures. Anomalous lights are regularly seen in areas of
frequent sasquatch activity. Footprints persistently, if rarely,
display odd numbered toes, and—most bafflingly—bigfoot trackways
suddenly terminate in the middle of open, untouched terrain.


In Volume 1 of Where the Footprints End: High Strangeness and the
Bigfoot Phenomenon, authors Joshua Cutchin and Timothy Renner
carefully examine not only the intersection of hairy apemen with
global folklore—of poltergeists, faeries, extraterrestrials,
magic, witches, ghosts, and archetypal women-in-white—but also
question the fundamental assumptions underlying contemporary
cryptozoological beliefs surrounding bigfoot.
