- Beastly Theories (Episode 55) Paranormal Police - with Andy Rawlins
Join me as I chat with Andy Rawlins, a retired rural policeman.
Andy shares his strange encounter with a UFO, that left him and a colleague terrified one night whilst driving the country road between the villages of Sturton By Stow and Marton, in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England.
Andy also recalls his own sighting of one of Britain's elusive Big Cats and his struggle to engage his superiors, at that time, in the need to make the public aware that large predators could be roaming the British countryside.
As a former policeman, and an artist and photographer, Andy skills in observation and detail make him a compelling witness of these strange phenomena.

1 hr 10 min - Beastly Theories (Episode 54) Rewild your Life - with Tom Sewid
Join me as I chat with Sasquatch Island's - Tom Sewid. A Kwakwaka'wakw Indian. Tom talks about his life before Bigfoot, his experiences in one of Canada's infamous 'schools' for first nations children, his decision to embrace his roots and live in the wilderness of Vancouver Island and his experiences with the Dzoonakwa (the Kwaiutl name for Sasquatch) and Bukwus; a small bipedal hair covered creature.
Tom's knowledge of Sasquatch behaviour and the seamless way in which he connects the dots between tribal folklore and modern day reports of these creatures, paints a picture, clear for all to see, of a creature that has been ethno-known from time immemorial.
Enjoy!
