10/4/25 - In the Shadow of Sasquatch: Al 'Squatchfather' Santariga on Bigfoot & the Paranormal

In this episode, host Paranormal Paul welcomes Al 'Squatchfather' Santariga—a seasoned investigator with five decades of immersive work across UFOs, cryptids, and hauntings—and dives into a rich tapestry of firsthand encounters shaped by intuition, legacy, and unexplained phenomena.
Al shares how his paranormal journey began in childhood—guided by psychic family members, nightly visits from his grandmother, and early intuitive gifts. He details low-tech investigative methods that uncovered Underground Railroad sites, and recounts undeniable photographic evidence from haunted hotels and mansions. His experiences span traumatic physical encounters, repeated UFO sightings marked by consistent anomalies—camera failures, vehicle interference, hypnotic dissociation—and responsive behavior from triangular craft. He describes sensing infrasound during sacred-site rituals, encountering towering entities in the woods, discovering Sasquatch nests, and hearing Dogman howls confirmed on audio. Throughout, he weaves in bloodline lore, Rh-negative significance, and collaboration with experts like Mark D’Antonio and Chris Reinhart—emphasizing authenticity, calm presence, and the interconnectedness of UFOs, cryptids, and spiritual ecology without sensationalism.
