Tennessee Man Launches New Bigfoot Research Group: Real Sasquatch Encounters Revealed

A few days ago, I stumbled upon an intriguing video from The Paranorm Girl Podcast featuring Wayne Totherow, founder and president of Manimal Research, a small Sasquatch research organization in Southeast Tennessee. Wayne shares his journey into the world of Bigfoot research, sparked by a chance encounter with a captivating podcast. In the video, Wayne discusses his initial skepticism about Bigfoot sightings in his area, assuming they were more common in the Pacific Northwest. However, after discovering Sasquatch Chronicles, he realized that people in his own community were actively searching for these elusive creatures. This revelation led him to establish Manimal Research in 2019, driven by his lifelong fascination with the mysterious Bigfoot. During his conversation with Kristen, Wayne recounts an encounter shared by a local man who described seeing a Bigfoot running up a ridge near a recreation area in Tennessee. This firsthand account, combined with a BFRO (Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization) report of a sighting within the same park, solidified Wayne's determination to explore the field of Sasquatch research further. Wayne also touches upon the divide within the Bigfoot community, acknowledging the tension between those who believe in a flesh-and-blood creature and those who consider it an otherworldly being. He expresses his openness to the idea that Bigfoot could be a flesh-and-blood animal with extraordinary abilities, without subscribing to the belief that it is an alien entity. I am thrilled to have come across this engaging video. I wholeheartedly encourage you to watch it and delve into the captivating world of Bigfoot research alongside Wayne Totherow. Together, we can continue to explore, learn, and share the wonders of this enigmatic creature.
