In a recent YouTube video from the channel "From The Asherz," hosts Ashers and Tobias delve into the world of Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, as they prefer to call it. The video, titled "Bigfoot Revisited," explores various sightings and encounters with this elusive creature. Tobias shares his experiences from a research trip for a book he's writing with Richard Estep about the Mothman, a similar cryptid. The two visited various sighting locations in the Rockford area of Illinois and Chicago land, interviewing witnesses and gathering information. While the focus of the video is on Bigfoot, the hosts touch on other cryptids and paranormal phenomena, making for an interesting and engaging conversation. They discuss the rarity of repeat sightings in the same area and the typical sighting locations, which are often natural areas close to human populations. The hosts also share their thoughts on the size and intimidation factor of hot air balloons, which Tobias compares to luminal spaces and finds disturbing. Despite this, he still finds the hot air balloon festival to be a fun and unique experience. Overall, the video is an engaging exploration of the world of Bigfoot and other cryptids. It's definitely worth a watch for anyone interested in the subject. And who knows, it may even inspire you to attend a hot air balloon festival and face your fears.
