CelticKevin Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Out of curiosity, when you have a hankering for Squatchiness, what's your go to book, movies, books, podcasts, etc. that passes the time? I've been trying to find good stuff to pass the time while I'm laid up and it's amazing how much really worthless scrap there is out there. So, how about it? What or who do you recommend?

Hope you’re OK. I like the old stuff. Leonard Nimoy, etc. I just found this one again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What or who do you recommend? quite honestly? I find myself staring at the PGF for a while until I get bored analyzing it. Other than that, Apes Among Us, Meldrum's book or Bigfoot and Beyond and write stories about Cryptids ....there IS a lot of useless crap out there Edited June 5, 2023 by Marty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Town Monsters, Bob Gymlin, Mountain Beast Mysteries, Thunker Thunker and MattSquatch Presents are all excellent YouTube channels that cover the subject. M.K. Davis has also made some interesting videos in analyzing the PGF as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIB Posted June 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted June 5, 2023 There is very little recently printed that is worth reading. Too much hyperbole, too many posing as experts who typically know less than those they presume to talk down to. The classics are good and almost always worth a re-read. I'll go with my original 4 recommendations .. in no particular order: The Locals - Thom Powell Enoch - Autumn Williams Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science - Jeff Meldrum Abominable Snowmen : Legend Come to Life - Ivan Sanderson I like to add In the Spirit of Seatco - Henry Franzoni A trip through Bobbi Short's old web site / archive is cool. In all of the classics, there is always additional detail to be discovered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to know about the revealed hoaxes and hoaxers. The classic category goes way back. In the Spirit of Seatco - Henry Franzoni was available years ago in hard cover. Now from Amazon as a Kindle product to keep you from going bonkers while you are laid up. You have to read it with an open mind.

langfordbc Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I always have some Sasquatch book on go, usually one I'm re-reading for the fourth/fifth/sixth, etc., time. When I'm working on an indoor project or in the shop, I like to listen to the Bigfoot & Beyond podcast. So many great guests over the years. Rick Noll, Larry Lund, Michael Freeman, and Todd Prescott are a few of the better recent episodes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCalWitness Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Whenever I need to scratch the itch, I find one of about 10000 podcasts I haven't heard on the subject and I go for a walk and give it a listen. Good training for some time in the field anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I watch Steve Isdahl everyday on Youtube. I don't agree with everything, but I like the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I liked The Creature by Jan Clement. The car ride was a little much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyzonthropus Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 When in doubt I return to the second book I ever read on the topic(#1being Mysterious Monsters, I think it was) John Green's On The Track of Sasquatch, which my folks first bought for me at the Seattle Science Center on a trip up the coast, then into B.C. and Alberta. So it was like "here's a book on hairy giants" right as we travel through the heart of its territory in a 25' mobile home, with me an impressionable 7-8 year old lad.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodler Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I'm not a huge fan of reports published and presented without analysis, I quickly grow bored of them and turn off, especially those who present the information as if it's gospel, and even more so the more info woo it gets. I love Bob Gymlan's YouTube channel. He does a little analysis, but the story telling and illustration are too notch. I like weird and wild west Virginia. They cover every possible subject, and in an entertaining way. There are a few authors here, I've enjoyed their books immensely, but aren't a huge fan of most bigfoot books because I feel they're often exploitative.
