If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you're in for a treat. A recent video from the YouTube channel Bigfoot and Beyond Podcast features an interview with Paul Bowman, a bigfooter and professional Anthropologist. Bowman, who is part of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy (NAWAC), has had his own Sasquatch sighting and has corresponded with the late Grover Krantz, a well-known Bigfoot researcher.
In the video, Bowman discusses his background in Anthropology and Archaeology, and how his interest in Bigfoot was sparked during his time in the Marine combat unit in the Kuwaiti desert in 1991. He talks about how he found Grover Krantz's book, which he considers the "Bible of bigfootery," and how he cold-called Krantz to ask him questions about Bigfoot. Bowman also discusses how the data set of Bigfoot sightings and evidence has grown since Krantz's time, and how the NAWAC has evolved in its approach to Bigfoot research.
One interesting aspect of Bowman's background is his work as a practicing Archaeologist for the federal government. He oversees Section 106 reviews, which are required for any public works project with a federal Nexus. This includes archaeological surveys to ensure that any historical or cultural sites are protected. Bowman notes that his work is similar to what Kathy Strain, a good friend of the Bigfoot and Beyond Podcast, does.
Bowman also talks about the importance of recording and studying Bigfoot tracks, even though they are rare and difficult to find. He encourages researchers to make plaster casts of tracks whenever possible, as they can provide valuable information about individual Bigfoots and their behavior.
Overall, this video is a fascinating look into the world of Bigfoot research and the experiences of a professional Anthropologist who has dedicated himself to studying these elusive creatures. Whether you're a seasoned Bigfoot enthusiast or just starting to learn about the subject, this video is definitely worth a watch.
