Bigfoot Researchers Find 20-Inch Tracks in Arkansas Expedition

If you've been scrolling through YouTube lately looking for something fresh in the world of Sasquatch research, there's a conversation that's been generating serious buzz. L.A. Marzulli recently sat down with researcher Daniel Becker, and what unfolded was one of those interviews that reminds you why this subject refuses to go away.
Becker, originally from Newark, Ohio but now based in Anchorage, Alaska, runs research operations in two key locations: Alaska and an area in Arkansas his team has dubbed "ground zero." And when he starts talking about that Arkansas location, the hair on the back of your neck stands up a little.
He describes the area as "charged." Not in some vague, mystical way, but in the way experienced field researchers talk about places where something is clearly present. The kind of place where you walk in and immediately feel like you're not alone. Becker and his partners, William Lunsford and Steven Hill, have been documenting activity there for some time now, using trail cameras, audio equipment, and good old-fashioned tracking.
What makes this particular conversation worth your time is what they uncovered during one of their recent outings. Tracks measuring up to 20 inches. Not the kind of prints you can chalk up to a bear or a hoaxer with size 18 feet. We're talking about impressions that suggest something massive was moving through that Arkansas timber. And here's something that often gets overlooked in mainstream coverage: Lunsford and Hill have also documented juvenile tracks in the same area. That detail alone raises fascinating questions about family groups and habitation patterns that researchers have speculated about for decades.
Becker also touches on what he calls the "five Ts of Bigfoot research," with trees being one of the key indicators. Tree breaks, tree structures, twisted trunks. If you've spent any time in Sasquatch research, you know exactly what he's talking about. Those signature twisted trees where the trunk has been snapped and spiraled in ways that no human, no machine, and no known animal can replicate. Marzulli actually shares his own encounter with one of these twisted trees during a visit to America Stonehenge (also known as Mystery Hill) in New Hampshire, where he filmed with Fritz Zimmerman and his team. He describes a tree broken and twisted over a pathway, something he insists no group of people could accomplish. The silence in that area, no birds, no wildlife, just an eerie stillness, adds another layer to the account.
The Arkansas connection to Sasquatch runs deep, and Becker knows it. He references the Fouke Monster legend and the cultural impact of the 1972 film "The Legend of Boggy Creek," which arguably did more than anything else to put that region on the cryptid map. But he also points to older roots, Native American stories passed down through generations and early settler encounters that predate any modern media coverage. The Ozark region has long been considered one of the strongest hotspots in North America, and Becker's "ground zero" seems to sit right in the heart of it.
He calls the Arkansas woods "the Amazon of America," and once you've seen footage from those bottomland hardwoods, you understand why. The forest is so dense you can vanish five feet from a road. It's the kind of terrain where something intelligent could remain hidden indefinitely.
The interview builds toward something that has the Sasquatch community talking: photographs. Becker mentions never-before-seen images that have been examined by other researchers, and the title of the video alone, referencing an 11-foot subject, has set the comment sections on fire. Unfortunately, the clip cuts off right as things get really interesting, right when Becker is describing that unmistakable feeling of being watched in the field, a phenomenon countless researchers have reported over the years.
If you want to see those photographs and hear the full breakdown, you'll want to check out the full conversation over on L.A. Marzulli's channel. It's one of those interviews that stays with you long after it ends, especially if you've ever stood in a quiet forest and felt like something was standing right back.
