Wildlife Biologist Recounts 10-Foot Sasquatch Encounter on Spaced Out Radio

Just stumbled across a fascinating interview over on Spaced Out Radio that's definitely worth your time. Host Dave Scott sits down with Patrick Spain, a wildlife biologist, biotech expert, cultural anthropologist, and cryptozoologist who has quite the impressive resume. The guy is also a television presenter, author, keynote speaker, and cancer survivor. Basically, if there's a hat to wear in the paranormal world, Patrick has worn it. The conversation covers some really interesting territory. Patrick shares a story from 2022 that will get any Sasquatch enthusiast's heart racing. He was out in the forests of British Columbia with his then 9-year-old son (who is now 13) and two of his hunting buddies, actively looking for Sasquatch. And they found one. Patrick describes seeing a 10-footer towering over an evergreen tree in that classic Sasquatch pose. That's the kind of sighting that makes you want to pack up and head to BC immediately. Patrick also talks about the importance of finding hot spots and gaining the trust of whatever might be living there. He mentions having two spots near where he lives that have produced results, and how when you find that right area, amazing things can happen. But here's where it gets really wild. Patrick shares an experience from Brazil that sounds absolutely terrifying. He was investigating the Mapinguari, a legendary cryptid from the Amazon. He says he actually heard it, and whatever it was, it was enough to freak out the local guides so badly that they told the group they had to leave immediately. Even more fascinating - according to local tradition, once you've heard the Mapinguari, you're not allowed to go back to that area. It's sealed off. That's some serious otherworldly stuff right there. The interview also touches on the mysterious creature known as the Orang Pendek, sometimes called the Bigfoot of Sumatra. This cryptid is said to be a bipedal primate living in the forests of Sumatra, Indonesia. Witnesses describe it as being shorter than a typical Sasquatch, usually around 4-5 feet tall, with broad shoulders and powerful arms. It's covered in short dark hair and has been reported by indigenous peoples for generations. Western researchers have been investigating reports for decades, with some footprints and hair samples collected, though definitive proof remains elusive. Patrick mentions working with sloths in his career, which makes sense given his wildlife biology background. The three-toed and two-toed sloths of South America are fascinating creatures in their own right, but they're not what most people are looking for when they head into the rainforest. The full interview is definitely worth checking out. Patrick brings such a positive, enthusiastic energy to the cryptozoology world, and his stories from the field are captivating. Whether you're interested in Sasquatch, the Mapinguari, or the mysterious creatures of Sumatra, there's something in here for everyone.
