In this episode of Darkness Radio, host Tim Dennis sits down with Mike Familant, a former EMT and firefighter turned full-time Bigfoot researcher and creator of the shows 'In the Shadow of Big Red Eye' and 'Squatchables.' Mike shares his unique investigative style, his journey from a skeptical beginner to a dedicated researcher, and the raw, unedited approach he takes to documenting his expeditions in the woods of America.
Mike Familant explains how his frustration with manipulated TV shows led him to create his own raw, unedited content. He details his expedition strategies, which include using tree knocks as a warning system, vocalizations for thermal imaging, and a creative CD trap to collect physical evidence like hair and thumbprints. While he investigates all cryptids, he has only found signs of Bigfoot, which he believes is a biological creature. He shares advice for beginners, emphasizing safety and fun, and recounts a compelling story from a paramedic who treated an injured Bigfoot. Mike also discusses his favorite research areas, the importance of keeping a low profile, and a personal UFO sighting that occurred during a Bigfoot investigation, though he does not connect the two phenomena.
