The Interview

Many bigfoot researchers are leery of giving interviews to
the press. The main emphasis should be about the
undocumented upright walking North American primate not
about the researchers.

Search For Bigfoot - A Documentary



My eldest son is a pastor of a church in Columbia, Missouri.
He contacted my wife early in February about allowing a
couple of University of Missouri students to spend the night.
They were traveling to Bowling Green, Ohio for a church
conference and we were conveniently located halfway between
Ohio and Missouri. As an aside, he also mentioned that
Peggy was interested in interviewing me about my bigfoot
research for a class project. I reluctantly agreed, not
thinking much about it.

I was a little surprised when they arrived and she set up a
video-camera. She did an impromptu interview as I showed
her some of my footcasts and recording equipment. I took
them out sound-blasting later in the evening and did hear
and record some distant howls.

Two months later my son again contacted me and asked if I
would allow her to tag along in my research area to see what
I do when I am looking for bigfoot evidence. I again agreed
and met Peggy, a school friend of Peggy's, and my son and
his wife at the park.

We spent about an hour and a half walking through some
areas where I have found footprints and recorded several
vocalizations. I did ask if I could have a copy of the DVD
when she finished. She said of course.

Saturday I received my copy of the DVD. I was a little taken
aback and disappointed that the focus of the short
documentary was on the sincerity and saneness of me as a
researcher and not on the true subject which is bigfoot /
sasquatch.
