Talking Weird #129 The Real Twin Peaks with Bob Antone

Born and raised in the Cascade Mountains, Bob Antone hails from a family of storytellers, artists and musicians. He and his wife Laura have spent years collecting folktales and legends of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. Bob is a tour guide, wood carver, writer, musician, visual artist, historian and public speaker. He and his wife Laura host storytelling gatherings as well as paranormal research and walking tours of historical locations. As a result, the couple wrote and published a book in 2019 known as THE ODD MAN UP including a deep dive into North American mythology.

Their anthology of paranormal mysteries and true crime tales is available on Amazon as an e-book. Laura, a registered member of DENE 1st Nations from Fort Liard Northwest Territories Canada, brings her indigenous heritage to the table.

They've recently finished a second book of regional folk tales entitled "By Candlelight: Stories For the Dark" which is scheduled for release later this year.

Having listened to countless family tales regarding UFO'S, Bigfoot, strange supernatural beings, ghost towns, logging camps, railroaders and bootleggers, Bob Antone brings authentic 1st hand and oral histories for all ages and diverse audiences.
