My name is Karen. I live here in Southern Indiana. I'm a housewife. I'm a mom, a personal trainer.

I became interested in Bigfoot well over a decade ago. And I've always had an interest in Bigfoot

as a child. And I didn't really have any experiences with Bigfoot until the last decade or so.

I became a researcher with a group of researchers. And I guess it happened just over a decade

ago where I met a group of researchers in the Kentucky Anna area. Really nice group of people.

I had always wanted to be a researcher. And I had just moved to the area because my husband's

and forth and stuff. So I started really kind of going off on my own as far as research goes.

And I've been doing that kind of ever since. But I am still kind of affiliated with this other group

because I do understand the necessity for data. You know, I understand the necessity for keeping

track of reports. I understand all that and I understand that's important. But most of the time I'm

just on my own when it comes to Bigfoot research. So I guess I want to make that clear that I don't really,

I do go out with other people from, you know, this research group, but I really do kind of stay on

my own as far as that goes. So having said that, telling a little bit about myself and about how I
