In this episode of the Curious Realm host Christopher Jordan travels to Jefferson, Texas for the 2024 Texas Bigfoot Conference. Our first guest is wildlife conservationist and host of Dark Outdoors, Chester Moore. We discuss the importance of wildlife conservation and passing on a love of the outdoors to the next generation. We also discuss the recent appearance of tagged Great White sharks in the Gulf of Mexico and hat this resurgence means for the long-targeted creature. Our next guest is Cryptozoologist Ryan Edwards. We discuss his latest book Beyond Bigfoot: The Other Unrecognized Primates of North America. What are the possibilities that there are various regional forms of Sasquatch across the United States, and could we be misidentifying the famed cryptid with other species? Up next we have researcher and author Mitchel Whitington on to talk about his latest book Marion County Monsters: Cryptids in Northeast Texas. We discuss a case in the local Jefferson, TX area that goes back to the 1960s which involves a young man having a truly frightening encounter with a Bigfoot. Our next guest is researcher, and host of the popular show Tex’s Front Porch, Tex Wesson. We discuss the world of cryptids and paranormal, and the phenomena known as Dogman. From the stories of Anubis in ancient Egypt, to King Lycan in ancient Greece, and even the Beat of Gevaudan, the history of Man-Dog chimeras has existed throughout humanity…is there truth to these so-called myths? Our final guest is researcher and author of Metroplex Monsters: Dallas Demons, Fort Worth Goatmen and Other Terrors of the Trinity River, Jason McLean. We discuss the sightings of Pterosaurs in Texas and beyond, as well as the importance of sharing your research with others in the field, and how we can prepare our research in the world of cryptozoology and paranormal to shake hands with science.
