A few days ago, I stumbled upon an intriguing video from the YouTube channel, Bigfoot Society. In this particular episode, titled "Terrifying Tales from the Catskills: New York Bigfoot Encounters," the host interviews Al Santa Ria, also known as the "Squatch Father." Al is a well-known figure in the Bigfoot community, having founded and directed various organizations such as the New York State UFO Project, New York State Sasquatch Organization, New York State Dogman Project, and the North American Dogman Project New York state chapter. During the interview, Al shares his personal experiences and the story behind his name, the "Squatch Father." Growing up in Yonkers, New York, Al was exposed to the paranormal world at a young age through his brother, who was a parapsychologist. One of Al's earliest memories of Bigfoot was watching the Patterson-Gimlin film at a movie theater when he was ten years old. He knew right away that the creature in the film was real, and his fascination with Bigfoot only grew from there. Al's firsthand experience with a Bigfoot occurred two years later in South Florida, where he had a close encounter with a Skunk Ape. While babysitting with his cousin, they heard a horrific scream outside their house. Moments later, they heard a gunshot and decided to investigate. As they approached the scene, they saw a Skunk Ape attack and kill a Brahma Bull. The creature was massive, standing at around 9 feet tall and weighing approximately 900 pounds. Al and his cousin watched in awe as the Skunk Ape punched a police car and caused it to lift off the ground. Al's story is a fascinating account of a personal encounter with a Bigfoot, and it's always exciting to hear firsthand experiences from those who have encountered these elusive creatures. The interview is filled with interesting bits about Al's life and his involvement in the Bigfoot community. If you're interested in learning more about Al's experiences and the work he does, I highly recommend checking out the full video on the Bigfoot Society YouTube channel.
