In a recent video from the Untold Radio Network, host John Baranchock delves into the concept of the "Bigfoot joke" and how it relates to the search for Sasquatch. The joke, which involves a drunk searching for his keys under a streetlight, is used as a metaphor for the tendency of Bigfoot researchers to focus on certain areas of study while neglecting others. Baranchock argues that the bulk of Bigfoot research has focused on footprints, foot casts, audio recordings, and vocalizations, but there may be other "keys" to proving the existence of Sasquatch that are being overlooked. He suggests that his book, which includes statistical and experimental design sections, offers an alternative approach to looking for these "keys" outside of the traditional areas of focus. The video also includes a personal story from Baranchock about a time when he encountered something strange while camping. He had brought his pit bull mix, Red, with him and had set up camp in an area that he believed was "squatchy" due to its proximity to a stream and mountainous area. As he was finishing up dinner, Red suddenly sat up and began sniffing the air, before eventually growling and barking at something that Baranchock couldn't see. Baranchock's fight or flight response was triggered and he armed himself with a 45 Smith and Western. He heard rustling in the bushes and what he believes was a Bigfoot growl. Despite not seeing the creature, Baranchock is convinced that it was a Sasquatch. Overall, the video offers an interesting perspective on the Bigfoot research community and the need to consider alternative approaches and areas of study. It also provides a personal account of an encounter that serves as a reminder of the mystery and intrigue that surrounds Sasquatch. Be sure to check out the full video for more details and insights.
