The last couple of days I have been watching any videos I can find on Dr. John Bindernagel, will be ordering his book! He sadly passed a few years ago, but in my opinion, everything he’s researched and published is still so relevant, AND he even said before he passed, that he no longer is 100% on the giganto side of things, and that he’s very open to it being a primate of some kind, whether closer to ape or human. This interview is the first of two parts and shortly before he died, an excellent interview! this second link is for the first of three videos that Dr. Bindernagel filmed for anyone wanting to learn❤️ https://youtu.be/plGaIC9pJ6E

Thanks for posting this. I always enjoy listening to John Bindernagel, such a fascinating guy who always has something worthwhile to say.

Here it is again: Here is the definition of "species": And horses breeding with donkeys produce a hybrid, not a species.

I thought I already did an introduction, but not finding it anywhere. My name is Gabe Heiss and I live in Hamtramck (city within Detroit),MI. Although there's no BF activity this far in, there may be some in Palmer Park (not too likely) and on Belle Isle. There is definitely activity closer to where I'm from in Ypsilanti near Ann Arbor in Washtenaw Co. All along the Huron River from Pontiac (Oakland Co) to where it dumps into Lake Eerie in Flat Rock (Wine/Monroe Counties), there is Bigfoot activity. I also research other parts of Wayne and Oakland County along the Rouge River and its tributaries. Just yesterday I got pics and casts of what I believe to be 8" juvenile tracks in a Metropark on the Huron. I've only been (re)searching for about four years, but have had an interest in the subject since the 1970s. Like many people open to the existence of large, hairy bipedal ape-men, I thought they only lived in the Pacific Northwest or The Himalayas for most my life. Through TV shows such as Monster Quest and Finding Bigfoot, I discovered that witnesses were reporting sightings of skunk apes and Bigfoots in Florida and nearby Ohio, and it wasn’t long before I started seeing possible sign left by these creatures in the woods of my own backyard of Southeast Michigan. More recently, even more knowledge was gained through the hosts and guests of such podcasts as Bigfoot Outlaw Radio (featuring Bear and Coonbo) and Wes Germer’s Sasquatch Chronicles.I have also travelled to Pennsylvania and Ohio to research with the likes of Mary Fabian, Amy Bue, and Mike Familant, before meeting seasoned Michigan researchers like Bob Daigle, Val Zavalas, and Phil Shaw at conferences and outings closer to home. Around 2019, I formed SEMIBRO (Southeast Michigan Bigfoot Research Organization) with friend Brian Widick, and have also worked with other local research groups such as Michigan Sasquatch Experience, Michigan Aboriginal Project, Lost Cryptids Conservatory, and Time Is Now. Through my affiliation with Phil Shaw's West Branch group, Gabe has expanded his research beyond the “urban bigfooting” of Southeast Michigan.

Hello! I'm Diana from Boise, ID and I have always had an interest in bigfoot and the Patterson-Gimlin film fascinates me! I find myself in the woods of Idaho quite a bit and someday hope to share an experience with you all of an encounter!

He really does! 😊 It is such a shame this community has lost such a great researcher and educator! He has a biography coming out I’m very eager to read!

Hello ll. I'm Jason from Ohio. I've been interested in the paranormal and bigfoot since I was a kid. Hope to learn from everyone here. Thanks!

At least I understand where you are coming from now @ShadowBorn Getting back to Expedition Bigfoot, I would really rather it stayed away from the spiritual and more outlandish side of things. If they are trying to be a more scientific, plausible investigation into real-life flesh and blood creatures I think speculating about things we don't know anything about or have any evidence supporting is straying away from their main selling point. I want to see what hard evidence they turn up, if they are straying out into supernatural ideas that kind of says to me they don't have any real evidence so they have to elaborate on outlandish things for 'filler' which is kind of disappointing.

I tend to think that they came across the land bridge MUCH earlier than 12k years ago, and adapted/changed with the other creatures that BECAME megafauna. They were/are megafauna, compared to us humans. I don't remember where I read all this, but the general gist has stayed with me. What hominid could compete with Short Faced Bears and Dire Wolves? Sasquatch. They are hold-overs from another age, and their intelligence has allowed them to adapt to changing conditions. The last 150 years must have been tough on them, encountering new diseases as Europeans colonized North America and our technological advances. Just my two cents, since no one else has answered.

I am at North Carolina State University. Some brief information here: darbyorcutt.com The skull formerly called H. Gardarensis is probably what it is now thought to be: an atypical but normal human skull. Its possible connection to Sasquatch is highly speculative. That said, it (or other museum specimens) could be later found to be of a new species if and when such a new species were identified. I would imagine that if we had DNA sequences for a new species, that might spur some reassessments of select museum specimens.

I agree with you. I use podcasts to help me sleep a lot. Sometimes I have to listen to the same show three or more times to make it through. I like when they have Tom Sewid on. He reminds me of my friend on the Colville Rez.

Here's an interview I did about this in late December (Note: I am not responsible for the framing of this by the host!):

FYI, I found one more study (unpublished), by Henner Fahrenbach and an Ohio State researcher: http://www.bfro.net/REF/THEORIES/WHF/dnatests.htm
