It's much more comfortable for most of us to think of paranormal
subjects as having their origins beginning only in recent history
– an amusing byproduct of mid-twentieth century foolishness or
the internet age. Much easier to dismiss then. Many
people, persuaded by an uninformed media, believe UFOs only
started appearing to the public after pilot Kenneth Arnold's
famous sighting while flying near Mt. Rainier on June 24, 1947,
or the incident in Roswell, NM, just fourteen days later.
Similarly, many people believe the Bigfoot or Sasquatch
phenomenon only began in 1958 in Bluff Creek, California, after
the family of Ray Wallace claimed he started it all by leaving
large, fake footprints made with wooden carvings as a
prank. It's uncomfortable to consider that these unnerving
intrusions into our comfortable reality had occurred for maybe
hundreds, if not thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of
years before our sophisticated logic matured. However,
researchers who study paranormal phenomena know that reports of
these things, especially Bigfoot, go back far beyond written
history. Unfortunately, yet not surprisingly, there seems
to be an air of ethnocentrism and hubris when it comes to western
scientists giving credence to the indigenous oral traditions of
encounters with these massive, hairy ape-like beasts. Yet,
it stands to reason that if any of these beings truly existed,
their origins likely go back further than the birth of Rock and
Roll. So, how far back do the sightings of Bigfoot and
Sasquatch go? Here's a hint: it's a lot more ancient and
global than you probably imagined. To help us explore this
enigma, we're fortunate to have our dear friend, researcher,
science enthusiast, author, and fellow podcaster Micah Hanks join
us for a roundtable discussion. We'll hear about his latest
research into the earliest known writings and oral histories of
the cryptic cousin creature we've come to know and love.
