EPISODE #921 LEGENDS OF TEXAS BIGFOOT Richard welcomes cryptid researcher and author Lyle Blackburn to discuss how for nearly two hundred years, residents of the Lone Star State have reported dramatic encounters with elusive wild men and hair-covered beasts that surely rival those from any part of the world. Texas may be known for its western landscapes yet its true geography is incredibly diverse, offering miles upon miles of piney woods, dense thickets, creeks, and even swamps where mysterious creatures may indeed roam and flourish. Is Sasquatch among them? GUEST: Lyle Blackburn is a native Texan known for his work in writing, music, film, and cryptid research. He is the author of several acclaimed books, including "The Beast of Boggy Creek" and Lizard Man, whose subject matter reflects his life-long fascination with legends and sighting reports of unknown creatures. Lyle is also the founder of the rock band, Ghoultown, columnist for the horror magazine, Rue Morgue, and narrator/co-producer of documentary films including "The Mothman of Point Pleasant" and "Boggy Creek Monster." Lyle is a frequent guest speaker at cryptozoology conferences around the country, and has appeared on numerous television shows such as Monsters and Mysteries in America, Strange Evidence, and Finding Bigfoot WEBSITE: http://www.lyleblackburn.com BOOKS: The Beast of Boggy Creek: The True Story of the Fouke Monster Lizard Man: The True Story of the Bishopville Monster Beyond Boggy Creek: In Search of the Southern Sasquatch Momo: The Strange Case of the Missouri Monster Sinister Swamps: Monsters and Mysteries from the Mire Texas Bigfoot: History, Legends, and Modern Encounters in the Lone Star State SUPPORT MY SPONSORS!!!
