Growing Up with Bigfoot: Michael Freeman's Childhood Experiences

In a recent episode of Squatch-D TV, host Steve Call and co-host Chris Bennett sat down with Michael Freeman, son of the late Paul Freeman, a well-known Bigfoot researcher. The episode, titled "The Freeman File," delved into Michael's experiences growing up with a father who was a Bigfoot researcher and the impact it had on his life. Michael shared that growing up with a father who was a Bigfoot researcher was normal for him, as he was just five years old when his dad had his first encounter. However, he did acknowledge that his father's obsession with Bigfoot meant that he was often absent, which had an impact on their family life. As Paul Freeman's popularity grew, Michael shared that he experienced some teasing in school, but he had a good core group of friends and supportive teachers who helped him feel less odd. Michael's older brother also experienced more teasing and name-calling, but by the time Michael was in school, people were more accepting of the idea of Bigfoot. The conversation then turned to Paul Freeman's quest to film Bigfoot in the late 1980s. Michael shared that his father was renting video cameras and taking them everywhere with him, with the mindset of killing one to prove to the world that he wasn't crazy. Michael's brother, who was also involved in the research, took a set of important photographs in 1988, which Michael believes are significant. Throughout the episode, Michael shared stories about his father's research and the impact it had on their family. He also discussed his own experiences growing up with a father who was a Bigfoot researcher and how it shaped his life.
