Is the evidence for Bigfoot actually overwhelming? 🌲👣

In this episode, we sit down with veteran field researcher, evidence analyst, and former co-host of Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot, Cliff Barackman!

We dive deep into the science behind footprint morphology, trackways, the biomechanics of the famous 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Film (PGF), and the ethical debates surrounding cryptid research today. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or a curious skeptic, Cliff breaks down why he believes the physical trace evidence points toward an undiscovered primate species roaming North America.

Claudio Bergamin is a phenomenal artist whose portfolio spans iconic heavy metal imagery to deep dives into cryptid and UFO lore. Notably, he designed the artwork for Judas Priest's Firepower album after working directly with the band.

A passionate researcher of the unexplained, Bergamin trekked to the original Patterson-Gimlin film site alongside Bob Gimlin himself to capture the location's true essence for his art. He also collaborated closely with Travis Walton to meticulously reconstruct the infamous 1975 alien abduction scene on canvas. His hands-on, collaborative approach brings an unmistakable layer of authenticity and detail to every piece he creates.

Does the new PG footage hold up, or is it just another hoax? Bigfoot researcher Eric Palacios shares his unfiltered, expert breakdown of the highly anticipated new documentary, Capturing Bigfoot. He is one of the only researchers to see the film and he says it proves the PGF is a hoax.

In this video, we sit down with researcher Eric Palacios to analyze the bold claims and "new evidence" presented in the Capturing Bigfoot documentary. We discuss how this new footage stacks up against legendary sightings like the Patterson-Gimlin film, and what this means for the future of Bigfoot research.

Is the Shroud of Turin Authentic?
Dave talks with researcher, Christian apologist, and author Otangelo Grasso about the Shroud of Turin, one of the most debated religious artifacts in history. They cover what the cloth is, what science has found about the image, and why Otangelo thinks the evidence points away from a medieval forgery and toward something far more extraordinary.

Dave interviews longtime Bigfoot historian and field researcher Daniel Perez, publisher of the Bigfoot Times, Bigfoottimes.net about how a childhood screening of The Legend of Boggy Creek led to four decades of research. The conversation focuses on major Bigfoot evidence, how to evaluate sightings, and why Perez still sees the Patterson Gimlin film as the strongest case for a real unknown primate.
We discuss Perez’s early letters to John Green and Rene Dahinden, the role of newsletters and old-school field reporting before the internet, and why he believes certain trackways and recordings remain compelling. The episode stays centered on evidence, methodology, and what still needs explaining.
Key topics
Daniel Perez explains how The Legend of Boggy Creek sparked his interest around age 10 and led him from library books to direct correspondence with early Bigfoot researchers.
He describes reading foundational works by John Green, Rene Dahinden, and Ivan Sanderson, then joining the Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained.
Perez traces the history of the Bigfoot Times from its original run in the late 1970s to its relaunch in 1998 as a mailed paper newsletter.
He breaks down how he evaluates modern Bigfoot claims, especially online videos, starting with two basics - who shot it and where it was shot.
The discussion turns to the Idaho Memorial Day report, which Perez sees as strong because it involves recent, multi-person sightings and signs of activity at two campgrounds.
Perez makes the case that the Patterson Gimlin film remains unmatched, citing body mass, track depth, simultaneous footprints, and the repeated failure to reproduce the footage convincingly.
He discusses the mid-tarsal break and why he believes the footprint mechanics point to a flexible, non-human foot structure.
He argues that Bob Hieronymus-style reenactments only offer a superficial resemblance and do not match the subtleties seen in the original film.
The episode covers the Sierra Sounds, which Perez says he is fully confident are real Bigfoot vocalizations based on his discussions with Ron Moorhead and Alan Berry and on published acoustic analysis.
Perez shares personal field experiences, including tracks he saw in Hemet, Monochie Meadows, and Willow Creek, and how those moments deepened his commitment to the subject.
He discusses Southern California reports, including the Santa Ana Riverbed and Hesperia area, and says credible sightings are not limited to the Pacific Northwest.
On the question of what Bigfoot is, Perez settles on the broadest usable answer - an unknown primate.
He says his next project is an annotated 67-page bibliography focused on the Patterson Gimlin film, planned for release next year.

Dave Lopez-It's a Great Life If You Don't Weaken

Dave Lopez reflects on a career that stretched from print journalism in Southgate to 48 years in television, including 43 years at one station and coverage of nearly every major Southern California story of the era.
