--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
THE 2024 BIGFOOT RENDEZVOUS TOOK PLACE INSIDE THE WESTWOOD MALL IN POCATELLO
THE EVENT FEATURED EXPERTS FROM IDAHO STATE UNIVERSITY LIKE ANATOMY AND ANTHROPOLOGY PROFESSOR DR JEFF MELDRUM, WHO'S BEEN RESEARCHING HOIN AND BIPEDALISM FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS
OTHER RESEARCHERS LIKE NICO SPATAFORA WITH THE AMERICAN BIGFOOT CENTER AND FOSSIL TEAM STARTED OUT AS A SKEPTIC
Nico Spadafora, American Bigfoot Center: But then as we go into our research and I start to treat these like a regular animal and do the things that I would do to, you know, track a bear or track an elk You start to find something then that leads to something, right? And it, it led to sightings and, and tracks and all sorts of things And so it's like, oh my God, these are real
SOME RESEARCHERS NOT ONLY LOOK FOR SIGNS OF BIGFOOT, BUT LISTEN
David Ellis, Olympic Project: So I use a spectrogram to analyze audio that gives me a voice print So I'm looking for suspicious uh prints uh of audio that aren't normal sounds Uh For, for instance, I can tell if it's a coyote or not a coyote by looking at
SOME AT THE BIGFOOT RENDEZVOUS, ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR ENCOUNTERS
Brent Thomas, Paranormal Portal Podcast: Actually, after a lifetime of having many experiences of my own I was left with a lot of questions and suddenly I had the look, I want, I want to discuss this I want to reach out and talk to people to hear their stories and to hear what they've experienced, maybe to help understand my own But also just to continue the conversation because there's a lot of shows out there doing it But this was my stab at it
SCOTT VIOLETTE WITH SQUATCH AMERICA SAYS THAT CREATURES LIKE BIGFOOT CAN BE TRACKED TO MANY NATIVE TRIBES
Scot Violette, Squatch America: And every tribe in the nation has a Bigfoot legend So after I got out of the academic world and was able to come out and uh start doing research work I've been doing for about 25 years is and what got me into it was the, the culture of the native Americans Every native American has a Bigfoot legend and story
SO IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN LEARNING ABOUT BIGFOOT, THE BEST THING TO DO IS TO ASK QUESTIONS
