Ha - have I ever. My husband and I read the first book of the "Cum for Bigfoot" series to each other. For research, of course - I spoke to the author, Virginia Wade, as part of one of the bonus episodes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/bonus-interview-4-virginia-wade/id1434465245?i=1000426020464&mt=2

Not obtuse at all and it's one of the questions I was also interested in finding an answer to. I think you're correct in saying that curiosity and adventure are a big part of it. I think, too, that a love of nature and conservation play a role as well. Several of the Bigfoot people I spoke with talked about how they want the landscape to be wild and protected enough so that something like Bigfoot could exist. I also found that there's a real sense of community - people who have bonded over shared experiences and passions - that's not all that different from other interest groups. And, of course, there are people who are 100% certain that Bigfoot is real - and they want to be the person or part of the team that proves it once and for all. For them, making the case for Bigfoot is definitely worth their time and money. In the end, it didn't seem all that different from other pastimes that people have - just maybe a little more eccentric.

Depends on who you talk to! And some people think that - if it's a flesh-and-blood creature, that there could be as many as 2,000. Me? I'm not so sure.

I believe they had cameras in place and they spent quite a bit of time observing the area where the nests were found - a couple of years, I think - before they brought people in to take samples of the nest. And yes, I think this is where I have trouble saying that Bigfoot exists - you would think that, by now, there would be more concrete proof, especially given how many people are out in the woods, with a camera in their pocket.

Thank you for taking the time to listen! I am planning to do another podcast - it won't be Bigfoot, but it will hopefully be equally as interesting. I'm a one-woman show, so it will take me a little time but I hope to have something by early next year (fingers crossed). Thanks again for listening.
