Exploring Parallels: Bigfoot, Fairies, and Cryptid Culture with Author Josh

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Glen "Sportcat" Jackson, authors Joshua Cutchin and Tiffany S. Doran explore the paranormal and its connections to the world of Bigfoot. Joshua Cutchin is a professional in the field of the supernatural and paranormal, with several books under his belt. He has a unique approach to looking at these topics, examining how modern reports of paranormal experiences echo reports from the past, including folklore and ancient manuscripts. During the interview, Cutchin brings up the similarities between Bigfoot and fairies, specifically the idea that Bigfoot may be leaving their mark on horses' manes in a way that is reminiscent of fairy buades. This idea is not a new one, as Cutchin has found references to similar stories from Russia, England, and even Nova Scotia. Cutchin also discusses his belief that there is some sort of dialogue going on between these phenomena and where we are in terms of our culture and expectations. He doesn't necessarily think that Bigfoot are fairies or fairies are Bigfoot, but rather that we tend to notice these strange things and apply them to whatever our monster du jour is. As for personal experiences, Cutchin has had a few "Bigfoot adjacent" encounters. During his honeymoon in the Blue Ridge Mountains, he claims to have heard a rock being wedged behind his car tire, and later found a large, clean rock behind the tire that didn't seem to come from anywhere nearby. He also mentions a trip to a research site in Pennsylvania with his co-author Timothy Renner, where they heard a "Gruff huff" and something shuffling away. Overall, this video offers an interesting perspective on the world of Bigfoot and its connections to the paranormal. Whether you're a seasoned Bigfoot researcher or just a curious observer, it's definitely worth a watch.
