Finding Bigfoot: What Bigfoot Eats-Sasquatch and Herring If you want increase your chances of finding Bigfoot, a good place to start is thinking about what a Sasquatch eats.    Another unique perspective on where to increase your chances of a close encounter of the hairy kind with Sasquatch! Most would never equate the Pacific herring spawn as a prime area to go investigate for Sasquatch. Thomas Sewid brings to us a lifetime being a commercial fisherman plying the entire British Columbia coast for herring during March and April. His career as a fisherman allowed him the opportunity to journey to where most Sasquatch enthusiasts would give their eye teeth to investigate at. Thomas was visiting Klemtu decades before Les Stroud even heard of the isolated Indian village out in the middle of the central coast of British Columbia. Butedale, where John Green documented a sighting Thomas explored that place back in the early 1980’s when it still was a standing abandoned cannery. Then there’s the west coast of Vancouver Island and throughout the Queen Charlotte Islands a.k.a. Haida Gwaii where Thomas investigated for what the Haida call Gogeet. He’s even been deep into the coastal fjords/inlets to fish and explore. There he would experience at anchor on a few occasions the deep forlorn howl of Sasquatch up in the isolated hills. Best of all though, a lifetime sitting on fishing decks, docks and bar stools allowed Thomas to ask that question to locals and fellow fisherman, “What you know about Sasquatch?” Thomas has compiled a lifetime of reports from people that one will more than likely never see in a book or on the Internet. So sit back and enjoy Sasquatch Island Finding Bigfoot: What Bigfoot Eats-Sasquatch and Herring.

WHY WE DON’T SEE SASQUATCH “Sasquatch is all hokum, there’s no such thing! I have spent decades out in the bush and never seen a Sasquatch!” Sound familiar? How many times have we heard this from people who are loggers, hunters, prospectors, hikers and mushroom pickers? Why is it we don’t hear about them seeing or hearing Sasquatch? Then again, maybe they do come close to Sasquatch more times than they know? Thomas Sewid host of our podcast series Sasquatch Island brings to all great insight into how Sasquatch may just be giving them and others a sign that they were close to them. Decades of bushman experience, only he can bring us all a greater understanding of Sasquatch. Monster X Radio is fortunate to have someone be able to equate not only his experience, but knowledge from the many others from Indian Tribes he has spoken with. This podcast is sure to tweak many to account for that time you heard and saw something out in the bush that could well be a sign from Sasquatch letting one know you too were judged. Thomas uses the term bush dancer and after listening. you may find that you are one of those that do? An interesting hypothesis into why we don’t see Sasquatch for sure. So sit back and have a listen, for you are sure to enjoy this latest Sasquatch Island podcast and just maybe, you too will run for that bouncing branch!  

We talk to film director Dan Wayne and three time world champion taxidermist Ken Walker, about Dan's new documentary Big Fur.  Big Fur is not a typical documentary on taxidermy, it's much bigger than that...Way BIGGER.  "Big Fur" follows world champion taxidermist Ken Walker as he creates, teaches, competes, and judges taxidermy competitions. Walker, who specializes in re-creating extinct and endangered species out of other animals' hides, has worked as a taxidermist at the Smithsonian and has been featured in National Geographic and in the book "Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy."    Walker lives on the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies where folks have regular Bigfoot encounters and still hunt and trap as a way of life. Is it possible that Bigfoot could exist in this remote and vast landscape? Walker’s argument is compelling; he can change minds in minutes.  hile “Big Fur” is primarily a biographical portrait, Walker’s story also functions as a lens that brings wilderness and wildlife conservation issues into sharp focus.    Big Fur | Now Streaming on Amazon Prime (bigfurmovie.com) Watch Big Fur | Prime Video (amazon.com)

One of the most common questions that comes up in conversation with people that are skeptical of the existence of a large hair-covered being roaming the forests of the world is : Where are the bones?  This is a podcast offering great insight into why we don’t find the bones of Sasquatch from the North American Indian perspective. Thomas Sewid host of Monster X Radio’s podcast series Sasquatch Island answers the question from accounts he has heard from fellow First Nations in Canada’s PNW and what he learned with an Omaha Indian from Nebraska. This podcast will amaze one about the geology of North Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada that allows not only the dead Sasquatch to be hidden from us hairless humans, but also why the Sasquatch is so hard to find in his region? As some know, Thomas works closely with Omaha Indian Lucas White who lives on the Omaha Indian Reservation in Macy Nebraska. Lucas has encountered Ci’tonga, their Sasquatch many times. He’s been and still is taught by the Omaha elders about the respect that must be shown towards Ci’tonga. Lucas is able to recognize evidence of a Sasquatch burial area and to leave it alone by leaving posthaste and never returning to the area. Respect is what all North American Indians are taught with all burial areas. Something Thomas was falsely accused of in 2014 and he elaborates on this dark time in his past where his own people attacked him due to a Fake News story. We hear his side, where he educates the listener to what really took place. He did learn that what took place must be used as an example of where we need to stand in regards to possibly finding a possible Sasquatch burial site. In listening to this podcast we are educated that we must adhere to the teachings of the old people and recognize mistakes that were conducted in the past.

Tribute to Bill Miller- On this episode Thomas and Julie discuss his long time friend and colleague Bill Miller who recently passed on October 1.  In 1980 Bill had an experience while night fishing that led him to attend a Sasquatch conference years later in Vancouver, where he met Thomas in 1998.
