Exploring Bigfoot's Evolutionary Origins with Ryan Edwards

In a recent paranormal podcast, hosts Christa and Brandy were joined by special guest Ryan Edwards, a cryptozoologist and author of the new book "Sasquatch: A Prehistory of a Living Legend." The podcast, which can be found on the YouTube channel Blondes and Boos Paranormal Podcast, delved into the possible evolutionary origins of Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot.

He also discussed his previous book "Crypto of the World: A Guide Book to the Menagerie of Mythical Creatures that Roam the Earth" and his upcoming appearance at the Bigfoot Conference in Fel Arkansas on April 26th and 27th. I found this podcast to be a fascinating exploration of the possible origins of Sasquatch.

And as Ryan mentioned, the study of cryptozoology, the search for and study of hidden or unknown animals, is a crucial part of understanding the unknown. In this episode, the
