In a recent video from the Untold Radio Network, host John Baranchock delves into the world of Sasquatch research with a focus on the psychological aspects of encountering these elusive creatures. Baranchock, an expedition participant and author of the book "Psychological Horizons in Scientific Bigfoot Research," aims to bridge the gap between scientific and experiential research, providing personal self-help techniques to recondition the autonomic nervous system and better handle the fight or flight response during potential Sasquatch encounters. During the video, Baranchock expresses his gratitude to several individuals who have supported him in his research, including Doug and Alex, Doug Hcheck for publishing his book, and fellow expedition friends Jeff Carpenter, Kevin Zork, and TJ. He also touches upon the different philosophies within the Bigfoot community, recognizing the value in both scientific and experiential approaches. Baranchock highlights the importance of an open mind and heart when attempting to encounter Sasquatch, emphasizing that one's worldview can significantly impact their ability to have such an experience. He shares his own type B experiences and expresses his desire to have a type A encounter. The video also explores the challenges faced in the Bigfoot community, using the analogy of a drunk searching for lost keys under a streetlight. Baranchock encourages a broader focus on various aspects of Sasquatch research, including woo phenomena and Flesh and Blood phenomena, which he believes can coexist. Towards the end of the video, Baranchock shares a quote from Lori Wade of BFRO, discussing the number of tree knocks made by a Bigfoot as a possible means of communication.
