Les Stroud: The Survivorman and Sasquatch | ST 59

In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team is joined by Canadian survival expert, filmmaker and musician Les Stroud for a wide-ranging discussion about his interest in the search for Sasquatch.  Best known as the creator, writer, producer, director, cameraman and host of the television series Survivorman, Les Stroud has impressed television audiences for years with his remarkable survival skills, which have kept him alive in some of the most demanding conditions on six continents. Stroud's unique experiences in the remote wilds of North America also led to Season 6 of the program, “Survivorman: Bigfoot,” which was the predecessor to a new effort Stroud is now undertaking that involves the search for Sasquatch.   With "The Question of Bigfoot," Stroud plans to create a definitive film documentary that addresses the questions about the existence of Sasquatch, and what this could mean. The Sasquatch Tracks team enjoys a lengthy discussion with Stroud about his aims for the project, his past experiences in the wild, the art of filmmaking, music, and more.  Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  --- [Survivorman ⁠⁠Les Stroud (Official Website)] (https://www.lesstroud.ca/) ---<a href= "https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lesstroud/the-question-of-bigfoot"> The Question of Bigfoot (Kickstarter page)</a> [Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.] (https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks) [Got a news tip or story to share?

The 'Knobby' Enigma | ST 58

In the winter of 1979, several residents around Carpenter's Knob in Cleveland County, North Carolina, reported a series of unusual encounters with an unknown, apelike animal. Among the early sightings were those reported by Minnie Cook, an 88-year-old resident who claimed that she observed the animal after she emerged from her home to learn what kind of animal had been disturbing her dogs.  Over the next several weeks, "Knobby fever" would strike this rural portion of Western North Carolina, with many other residents reporting sightings of a large, roughly six-foot-tall apelike creature that both walked on its hind legs and on all-fours. In this episode of Sasquatch Tracks, following a recent news story involving the escape of several primates from a South Carolina laboratory, we take a deep dive into the story of Knobby, and examine the possibilities behind this enduring local legend of a southeastern "Bigfoot" creature.   Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  --- [Knobby: The Bigfoot of Western North Carolina] (http://knobbythebigfoot.com/) [Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.] (https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks) [Got a news tip or story to share?

The Disappearance of Dennis Lloyd Martin | ST 56

On Father's Day Weekend in 1969, six-year-old Dennis Martin was camping with his family near Spence Field in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park when he vanished without a trace, leading to one of the largest searches in the history of the National Park Service. Tragically, he was never found, and the disappearance of Dennis Lloyd Martin remains unresolved after more than half a century.  In recent years, renewed interest in the case has led to speculations about a possible kidnapping, as well as theories that an "Appalachian wild man" akin to Sasquatch may have been involved. Such theories focus on the testimony provided by the late Harold Key and his family, who observed an individual in the park under odd circumstances that unfolded on the same day as the disappearance of Dennis Lloyd Martin.  In this special episode of Sasquatch Tracks, the team takes a deep dive into the details of the disappearance, discussing a recent Hulu series that discusses the kidnapping theory and its possible relevance to what some witnesses liken to wild men or even "apelike" creatures inhabiting the remotest portions of our National Parks. We examine the evidence for this, along with several alternative explanations for the disappearance, and what U.S. government documents and independent research into the landmark search and rescue case reveal.  Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  ---<a href= "https://www.micahhanks.com/history/dennis-lloyd-martin-50-years-ago-this-boy-vanished-in-the-great-smoky-mountains/"> Dennis Lloyd Martin: 50 Years Ago, This Boy Vanished in the Great Smoky Mountains</a> ---<a href= "https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1563/cold-cases.htm">Cold Cases - Investigative Services (U.S. National Park Service)</a>  ---<a href= "https://www.hulu.com/series/a56ffb88-db47-4dfa-9307-d01b2a27b4d1"> Watch OUT THERE: Crimes of the Paranormal Streaming On Hulu</a> [Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.] (https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks) [Got a news tip or story to share?

The Minerva Monsters: An Odd Tale of Hairy Bipeds and Big Cats | ST 054

In the summer of 1978, a strange series of events began to unfold for rural residents of northeastern Ohio. While enjoying a quiet evening at their rural home near Minerva, the Cayton family and their grandchildren witnessed a large, hairy, bipedal creature peering through their kitchen window. This creature, described as standing over 7 feet tall with glowing red eyes, sparked fear and curiosity, prompting the family to report their sightings to local authorities. Following the Cayton family's report, the Minerva area became a hotbed of Bigfoot research and investigation. Numerous additional sightings were reported in the surrounding woods and hills, with various tracks and other physical evidence purportedly found. However, that isn't all that this "classic" case appears to have entailed, as a deeper look into the story reveals sightings of mysterious large cats alongside "gorillas" in Ohio's history, as well as alleged connections to UFO sightings made by some area residents, and much more. In this special installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team takes a deep dive into the story of the Minverva Monsters, which we affectionately refer to in the plural since, according to eyewitness reports, there appeared to be more than one of the creatures observed by the Caytons... but what were they, and what can we uncover about the case after all these years?  Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  ---<a href= "https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-akron-beacon-journal-minerva-monster/53130766/"> The Akron Beacon Journal: Thu, Aug 24, 1978 ·Page 1</a> ---<a href= "https://fox8.com/news/what-was-it-man-talks-about-minerva-monster-mystery-40-years-later/"> What was it?

Return to Ape Canyon: Rediscovery of the Vanderwhite Mine | ST 051

During the summer of 1924, a team of gold seekers alleged that they were attacked by giant, ape-like creatures, measuring about 7 feet tall, who hurled boulders at them. Their story recounts an encounter with these beings in a remote area, where a member of their group shot at one of the creatures, hitting it thrice, resulting in it falling off a cliff into an unreachable canyon. Allegedly, these ape-like entities retaliated later by pelting their cabin with sizable rocks and leaving behind enormous footprints, in a series of events now remembered as the Ape Canyon incident.  The story of the Ape Canyon incident remains  one of the most well known stories in the history of Sasquatch studies, as well as one of its most controversial... but now, additional evidence may help corroborate it. Joining us in this episode is a return guest, researcher Marc Myrsell, along with Braden and Jared  Mitchell, two of the descendants of one of the miners who lived through the incredible experience on Mt. Saint Helens in 1924 who also managed to rediscover the long-lost Vanderwhite mine their ancestor and his friends had been mining when the incident occurred.  Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  ---<a href= "https://www.facebook.com/p/Marc-Myrsell-100009322918254/">Marc Myrsell on Facebook</a> [Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.] (https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks) [Got a news tip or story to share?

Matt Pruitt: The Phenomenal Sasquatch, Part Two | ST 050

In this second part in a special two-part installment of Sasquatch Tracks, veteran researcher Matt Pruitt returns to the podcast to discuss his new book <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C91N7XFL?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_TKGF26KR2B7HH5S77WFE">The Phenomenal Sasquatch: Seeking the Natural Origins of a Cultural Icon</a>, a tour-de-force of intellectual exploration in the study of the relict hominoid mystery,  In the new book, Pruitt explores the possibility that sasquatches are simply large, rare primates, and delves into the psychological factors that may be at play during people’s encounters with these creatures. Alternatively, he considers the hypothesis that the sasquatch is merely a construct of the human mind that exists only in stories and art. In this thought-provoking work, Pruitt presents a balanced and rigorous analysis, providing readers with an in-depth look into the search for the natural origins of this cultural icon.  Along with his own written works and other contributions, Matt is the producer and editor of the podcast [Bigfoot & Beyond with Cliff and Bobo] (https://www.bigfootandbeyondpodcast.com/) .

Esteban Sarmiento: Monstrous Primatology | ST 045

In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, we catch up with primatologist Esteban Sarmiento, an expert in hominid evolution and researcher renowned for his interest in the speculative side of vertebrate zoology, particularly when it comes to Sasquatch.  Sarmiento is a primatologist and vertebrate zoologist whose main area of focus involves the skeletons of both extinct and living hominoids.

Buck Buckingham: Australian Yowies Caught on Film | ST 042

In this installment of Sasquatch Tracks, the team is joined by Australian researcher Buck Buckingham, who shares his knowledge about Australian Yowies, the purported relict hominoid that occupies the remote wilds of the Land Down Under. Buckingham is a member of the group Australian Yowie Research, and has been hooked on Yowie studies ever since he came across Dean Harrison’s website in 2005.  It answered many questions about his own sightings and encounters when he was 15. Buck had been manning the thermal cameras one night while accompanying Harrison and several other members in Springbrook National Park when they captured images of what appear to be a very large, humanlike animal.  Buckingham shares the story of how he captured this remarkable footage, and how the ongoing study of Australian Yowies is helping to expand our knowledge of the dispersion of purported relict hominoids all around the globe.

Gregory Forth: A Living Fossil Hominoid in Modern Indonesia? | ST 041

Joining the team for this installment of Sasquatch Tracks is Gregory Forth, a retired professor of anthropology at the University of Alberta. He earned his PhD from the University of Oxford in 1980. Beginning in 1986, Forth was a professor at the University of Alberta for over thirty years. Forth is a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, and is a renowned social anthropologist, also known for his contributions to ethnoscience. However, tonight we will be discussing a slightly more controversial side of Dr. Forth’s work, which involves his new book, Between Ape and Human: An Anthropologist on the Trail of a Hidden Hominoid. According to its publishers, "In Between Ape and Human: An Anthropologist on the Trail of a Hidden Hominoid, readers follow Gregory Forth as he explores the mystery of this hominoid, and the space they occupy in Lio culture as both natural creatures and supernatural beings. Forth’s narrative is filled with adventure, an exploration of Lio culture and language, and an examination of the island’s zoology and natural history."  Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  --- [Gregory Forth online] (https://curiousmindsagency.com/gregory-forth) ---<a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Between-Ape-Human-Anthropologist-Hominoid-ebook/dp/B09JPGQVZ7"> Between Ape and Human: An Anthropologist on the Trail of a Hidden Hominoid</a> [Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.] (https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks) [Got a news tip or story to share?
