If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're in for a treat! A YouTube channel called "The Official Sasquatch & Squirrel Show" recently released an episode all about our favorite elusive creature, Bigfoot. The hosts, who refer to themselves as Sasquatch and Squirrel, delve into the history and lore surrounding Bigfoot, discussing its various names and origins.
Sasquatch, the taller of the two hosts, shares that his nickname comes from his 6'4", 295 lb stature and his giant beard. Squirrel, on the other hand, runs a leather crafting business called "Big Effing Squirrel Leatherworks" and stands in stark contrast to Sasquatch's height.
The hosts discuss how Bigfoot lore began with Native American tribes, who called these creatures "wild men" and believed they lurked in the forests. When British settlers arrived, they reported sightings of these creatures, possibly due to the Native American stories.
Bigfoot goes by many names across the United States, including Sasquatch in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska, Momo in Missouri, Grassman in Ohio, and Skunk Ape in Florida. The hosts also mention similar creatures from other countries, such as the Yeti in Nepal, Yeren in China, and Yowie in Australia.
Sasquatch and Squirrel then discuss the Patterson-Gimlin film, a 1967 video of a Bigfoot-like creature walking through the woods in California. This film is often credited with bringing Bigfoot into the mainstream.
The episode also touches on the idea that Bigfoot may be more elusive than aggressive, using a story from Portlock, Alaska, where a series of murders were once attributed to Bigfoot. However, it was later discovered that a human was responsible for the crimes.
Overall, this episode of "The Official Sasquatch & Squirrel Show" is an informative and entertaining deep dive into the world of Bigfoot. Whether you're a seasoned Bigfoot researcher or just discovering your interest in the creature, this episode has something for everyone.
