Bigfoot (Part 1) - The History of the Wild Man
Episode Bio
Bigfoot... you've heard of him. You might have even seen him. It's the creature that holds together the foundation of what is cryptozoology. Bigfoot, along with its shadowy counterparts and aliases whispered throughout history have infiltrated humans "world of make believe" but... for how much longer? In Part 1 of this series we discuss cryptozoology and what the big guy seems to be. As well, we go through some accounts, both historic and modern, that bring up the "wild man" that is mentioned so prolifically for as long as humanity can remember. Journey with us on this expedition for the one and only, Bigfoot!
