Summary

Darkness Radio Presents: In The Shadow Of Big Red Eye: Searching for Sasquatch w/Mike Familant

Mike Familant is a 36-year-old EMT, firefighter, and graphic designer who has transitioned into a full-time Bigfoot researcher, producer, and lead investigator from NorthWest New Jersey. He first got into bigfooting in 2011 on an expedition in North Florida, where he and a friend experienced rocks being thrown at them while sitting around a campfire. Since then, he has made it his personal goal to find out exactly what is roaming the woods of America.
In 2016, after becoming frustrated with the lack of true research expedition shows on TV, he created his own show, called “In the Shadow of Big Red Eye .” The show is currently filming its 10th season.
In 2018, Mike also created a docuseries called “Squatchables,” which was created for people who are just getting into bigfooting, sort of a “Bigfooting 101.”

On today's Darkness Radio, we sit down with Mike to talk about his YouTube Channel, programming, his investigative style, and places he has looked for Bigfoot! We also address some of the new techniques that Mike brings to the field that you won't hear on Television or documentaries. We will also talk to Mike about how he has managed to combine his love of history and nature into his programming to give his audience a more well-rounded program!
