A few weeks ago, I stumbled upon an intriguing video on YouTube featuring Shane Lee, founder of TAAPS (Texas Acknowledgement and Preservation of Sasquatch). Shane shared his personal experiences and the origins of TAAPS, which he created to connect with like-minded individuals interested in investigating Sasquatch sightings in Texas. Shane's fascination with Sasquatch began in his childhood, thanks to documentaries and movies that sparked his curiosity. As he grew older, he realized that Sasquatch could be anywhere, not just in the Pacific Northwest. This revelation led him to explore his home state, Texas, particularly the Big Thicket National Preserve. During his first expedition, Shane experienced a thrilling encounter. He and a friend discovered a spot near a creek, where they heard a heavy object jump from a tree and run off. Shane's friend also heard a low growl, which added to the eerie atmosphere. Later that night, they went for a walk and heard strange noises, further fueling their curiosity. Shane's passion for Sasquatch research is evident in his dedication to creating a welcoming community for both believers and skeptics. TAAPS encourages people to keep an open mind and enjoy the experience of exploring the unknown, regardless of whether they leave as believers or not. I highly recommend watching the video to learn more about Shane's journey and the work he is doing with TAAPS. It's a fascinating look into the world of Sasquatch research and the importance of preserving these elusive creatures' habitats.
