SO EP:566 Sasquatch: The Making Of A Legend?

SO EP:566 Sasquatch: The Making Of A Legend?

Welcome to another episode where we dive deep into the mysteries of the legendary Sasquatch. Today, we embark on a journey through time, exploring the origins of this enigmatic creature's name, the pioneers who paved the way for cryptozoological research, and the modern-day encounters cataloged by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO). Finally, we’ll take a closer look at the track evidence that has sparked heated debates in both the scientific and cryptid communities.The Genesis of the Name SasquatchLong before Bigfoot became a household name, indigenous cultures across North America shared stories of large, hairy beings that roamed the forests.

The term Sasquatch itself originates from the Coast Salish word Sésquac, meaning “wild man.” It was introduced to popular culture in the 1920s by J.W. Burns, a Canadian teacher who collected and documented First Nations' accounts of the creature. From there, Sasquatch slowly made its way into the cryptid lexicon, preceding the more famous moniker Bigfoot, which wouldn’t gain traction until the late 1950s.

The pursuit of unknown creatures isn’t new. In the mid-20th century, a new branch of study emerged—cryptozoology—dedicated to investigating creatures that exist on the fringes of scientific recognition. Figures like Bernard Heuvelmans, Ivan T. Sanderson, and Grover Krantz were instrumental in developing this field, applying scientific methods to analyze claims of mysterious creatures, including Sasquatch. Krantz, in particular, became one of the foremost defenders of Bigfoot’s potential existence, arguing that physical evidence—especially footprints—could not be easily dismissed.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) has meticulously cataloged thousands of encounters, compiling witness reports from across North America. From fleeting glimpses to prolonged close encounters, the database serves as one of the largest repositories of Bigfoot-related evidence. Patterns have emerged over time—frequent sightings in the Pacific Northwest, eerie vocalizations heard in dense forests, and even alleged physical interactions with the creature. But with this vast amount of anecdotal evidence, the question remains:

Are these reports merely misidentifications, hoaxes, or something more?Tracks and the Debate Over Their AuthenticityFootprints have long been one of the most cited pieces of evidence in the search for Sasquatch. Some tracks, like the famous Cripple Foot print analyzed by Grover Krantz, have been presented as near-definitive proof of the creature’s existence. Others, like the tracks discovered by Paul Freeman, have been widely debated, with skeptics arguing they were fabricated. This brings us to an article published in The Skeptical Inquirer by Michael R. Dennett, titled Bigfoot Evidence: Are These Tracks Real?

In this piece, Dennett critically examines track evidence, particularly those tied to Freeman and Krantz, raising questions about their authenticity and whether belief has clouded scientific rigor.Final ThoughtsWhether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, the mystery of Sasquatch remains one of the most enduring and fascinating topics in cryptozoology. The stories, the evidence, and the ongoing debates keep us questioning what might be lurking in the remote wilderness. As we sift through history, firsthand encounters, and the physical evidence left behind, one thing is certain—the legend of Sasquatch isn’t going anywhere.Tune in and decide for yourself: Are we on the cusp of a major cryptozoological discovery, or is the truth behind Sasquatch forever lost in folklore and fabrication?

SO EP:261 Symmetry: A True UFO Adventure!

SO EP:261 Symmetry: A True UFO Adventure!

My guests on this weeks bonus epsiode are Preston Dennett and Dolly Safran. Preston is an experincer, author, and investigator who's latest book Symmetry: A True UFO Adventure chronicles Dolly's life long experiences as a fully conscious UFO contactee. Here is part of the introduction to Symmetry.I have interviewed many hundreds of people who have had UFO encounters. Some have simple sightings. Others have face-to-face contact with ETs. Some stumble upon landed craft. Many have actually been taken onboard a craft and have had extensive interactions with extraterrestrials. This last category has always interested me most, because here are individuals who have a lot of information about ETs, about who they are, where they come from and their agenda on our planet. And yet, at the same time, I find myself frustrated. Many experiencers are fearful. Often, they have problems recalling their encounters in detail. Many witnesses report missing time or have only partial recall of what happened. A small portion do report having fully conscious encounters, and have overcome much of their fear, but this is a small group, and most of them still have some fear of their experiences and continue to have issues with recall. Then, in early 2016, after more than thirty years of research in this field, I was contacted by a remarkable woman from Florida named Dolly Safran. As she began to describe her UFO experiences, I realized that she was one of the rare individuals who is able to remain fully conscious during her encounters. Furthermore, she explained that she had long ago overcome her fears about what was happening to her. It eventually became clear to me that she was not only different from most people I had interviewed, she had far more extensive experiences than any person I had ever met, or even read about.Check Out The Shows Sponsor Vitalis Sleep And Support Our Sponsorshttps://vitalissleep.comUse Promo Code ODYSSEY20 at check out for 20% Off Your Entire Order!Sasquatch Odyssey Podcast YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCrIzUVxqM4a98whCBYBvgwSupport The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsShow Website And Bloghttps://paranormalworldproductions.comAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsbrian@paranormalworldproductions.com Send Brian A Voicemail Or Tell Your Storyhttps://www.speakpipe.com/SasquatchOdysseyPodcastFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Follow The Show On TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@sasquatchodysseypodcast?_t=8XRHQxPMFYo&_r=1Check Out Preston's Website Check Out Dolly's YouTube Channel Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

SO EP:260 The Quantum Bigfoot: Ron Morehead

My guest tonight is the legendary Ron Morehead. Ron has appeared on the show before, but he is back to answer some of your questions!Best known for the Sierra Sounds, Ron is a renowned researcher, author, producer, and more importantly an experiencer. He's been known for decades for his world-wide research into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch phenomenon. The Sierra Sounds are the only Bigfoot recordings that have been scientifically studied, time tested, and accredited as being genuine. Ron has documented his personal interactions with the giant beings and produced his story on CD and in his book "Voices in the Wilderness". Very few researchers of his caliber are brave enough to publicly consider the hundreds of reports that include that"spooky action at a distance," (Einstein). In his most recent book, "The Quantum Bigfoot," Ron goes above and beyond, combining decades of experience and tireless hours of research into the palm of quantum physics as it could pertain to Bigfoot/Sasquatch.Check Out The Shows Sponsor Vitalis Sleep And Support Our Sponsorshttps://vitalissleep.comUse Promo Code ODYSSEY20 at check out for 20% Off Your Entire Order!Sasquatch Odyssey Podcast YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCrIzUVxqM4a98whCBYBvgwSupport The Showhttps://www.patreon.com/paranormalworldproductionsShow Website And Bloghttps://paranormalworldproductions.comAll The Socials And Stuff/Contact Brianhttps://linktr.ee/ParanormalWorldProductionsbrian@paranormalworldproductions.com Send Brian A Voicemail Or Tell Your Storyhttps://www.speakpipe.com/SasquatchOdysseyPodcastFollow The Show On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sasquatchodyssey/Follow The Show On TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@sasquatchodysseypodcast?_t=8XRHQxPMFYo&_r=1Check Out Ron's Website Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
