Episode 35: Curse of Atuk & Missing 411 | Bigfoot, King of the Forest Podcast

On Episode 35 of the Bigfoot, King of the Forest Podcast Sara & Jeff are back at Rougarou Studios to discuss The Curse of Atuk & other movie-related curses along with the High Strangeness that is Missing 411 Cases. 

We kick the episode off talking about what's been happening the past month or so, including some new podcasts from Rougarou Studios (see show notes), the Biggest Little Farm documentary, and how Jeff is no Matthew McConaughey. 

After the news, Sara jumped right into the Curse of Atuk & other movie curses. Atuk is the name of an un-filmed American film screenplay, intended to be a film adaptation based upon the 1963 novel The Incomparable Atuk by Canadian author Mordecai Richler. The weird thing is every actor - from John Belushi who was the original casting to Sam Kinison, John Candy, and Chris Farley were all attached to the project at the time of their deaths. 

We also get into curses related to "Poltergeist", "The Passion of the Christ", and other films that have seen tragedy befall those connected. Is there any validity to these curses, or are they just coincidences? 

During the second part of the show, Jeff dives into the High Strangeness that is Missing 411 cases. Missing 411 is an informal classification that documents missing person cases that fit a number of criteria, most notably those cases involving individuals that are known to be outdoors people, hikers, and hunters that go missing in our national parks. We discuss different notable cases, David Paulides, and whether there is some connection between Missing 411, our cave systems, and even Sasquatch.

Below is an image showing the Missing 411 cases on top with our major cave systems on the bottom:

The correlations are interesting, to say the least.
