Join host Jeremiah Byron from the Bigfoot Society as we delve into the world of Bigfoot research with Scot Violette of Squatch America. In this episode, Scot recounts his experiences from investigating sightings in the Blue Mountains of Oregon, where he encountered Bigfoot firsthand near Marble Creek. Discover how his studies of Native American pictographs have revealed ancient depictions of Bigfoot. Scot also shares his theory about Bigfoot as an older version of humans, and discusses the remarkable vocal abilities these creatures may possess, including infrasound. Hear about his travels across the U.S., from capturing reports in Texas to investigating hotspots near Crater Lake and Wendigo Pass in Oregon. Learn valuable tips for aspiring Bigfoot researchers and how Scot's unique, community-engaging approach, like holding Bigfoot town halls, helps gather vital information. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, Scot's stories and insights will leave you captivated and curious.Resources:https://www.youtube.com/@SquatchAmericaSee Scot's Bigfoot finds here - https://squatchamerica.com/unique-bigfoot-finds-from-squatch-america/Scot's video on his pictograph find - https://www.youtube.com/live/nFLm4qRWVOUMore information on the Tule River Pictographs (with photos) - https://www.isu.edu/media/libraries/rhi/research-papers/Mayak-Datat-Hairy-Man-Pictographs-1.pdfSasquatch Summerfest this year, is July 11th through the 12th, 2025.

We discuss the 1937 archaeological excavation of Empty Gulch, now known as Pictograph Cave State Park.

Join us as we discuss rock art in Montana with archaeologist, Sara Scott. Our conversation revolves around the Hellgate Pictograph Site in the Helena-Lewis and Clark National Forest. This rock art site has an extensive area of finger lines, hand prints, geometric designs, dots, and animals such as snakes, turtles, and lizards. There are representations of human-like figures with distended bodies that may represent shaman figures in trance and soul flight. Many of the figures show evidence of prehistoric scraping and scratching which was deliberate and concentrated in the center of the rock art motifs. We also talk about Pictograph and Ghost Caves, located within Pictograph State Park. We discuss the archaeological context of these two caves and how we have come to know more about these important places and the people who used them.   For more information,   Hellgate Pictograph Site: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/hlcnf/learning/history-culture/?cid=stelprdb5373556 Pictograph Cave State Park: https://fwp.mt.gov/stateparks/pictograph-cave/ Fremont Culture: https://www.crowcanyon.org/index.php/archived-news/691-meet-the-fremont-the-ancestral-pueblo-people-s-northern-neighbors

Two leading hidden history researchers join us tonight. Ron Rademacher and Katherine Chiljan are our esteemed guests. Ron will be discussing the enigmatic MacIntosh Stone. This small stone was found in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. It is covered with mysterious pictographs. Do they represent a previously unknown Native writing system, or are they symbols from ancient transatlantic voyagers? Katherine is our second hour guest and will be discussing, on Shakespeare's birthday, evidence that we have been attributing the world's most revered canon to the wrong person. Some of this misleading information is found in the suspicious "First Folio." We will touch on Bacon could not have been the author of these plays.

We heard you when you requested guidance planning routes in our Twitter poll, so episode six covers a favorite of mine: French Lake to Beaverhouse lake in Quetico Provincial Park. For more about visiting the Quetico, its history and personality, check out our third episode. The route in a nutshell: 7 day trip 6 lakes 50 mi or 80 km 3 portages 260 rods - the longest portage, between Pickerel and McAlpine. Skinny lakes and large lakes, winding narrows and shallow creek, long, low portage and short steep portage, and plenty of beautiful campsites. Join us for A Look Back, our break segment describing the pictographs that can be found in canoe country and along this route in Quetico Lake. What are pictographs? Pictographs are pictures or symbols that signify a word. In this backcountry, the pictographs have a red ochre hue and depict canoe travelers, moose, bear, birds, fish, and more of the common surroundings.

Going out on a Saturday to the mini-Grand Canyon of Utah - the Wedge Overlook - for some fun location scouting and filming with the drone should be an easy going uneventful day. Well our trip with Daniel Lindhardt a couple Saturdays ago reminded us why some of you think of Photog Adventures as a Laurel and Hardy act or enjoy it because we are a couple of boneheaded photographers having a blast and you just enjoy our comedy of errors! This Photog MISAdventure starts out with some fun driving through Buckhorn Wash enjoying the Petroglyphs and Pictographs of the Archaic and Fremont Indians in the Barrier Canyon Style panel. But soon it turns into the panicked realization that we just flew our drone out beyond our reach, well at least not without a long hike! Come listen to how that 13-mile hike went and how the search turns out!

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: March 28th, 1988 --- Finally someone ropes Dalton into a treasure hunt, seeking out a legendary Native American artifact MISSION: Jack's elderly Native American roommate sets him on a quest to locate the legendary Mask of the Wolf, and is subsequently kidnapped. Jack recruits MacGyver to rescue the "old man." This week's highlights include: Pictorgram (Language) A pictogram, also called a pictogramme, pictograph, or simply picto, and in computer usage an icon, is an ideogram that conveys its meaning through its pictorial resemblance to a physical object. Pictographs are often used in writing and graphic systems in which the characters are to a considerable extent pictorial in appearance. A pictogram may also be used in subjects such as leisure, tourism and geography. Check out the article on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pictogram.

With the temperatures hovering just above zero we drove out to the Hegman Lake entry point. With our snowshoes and packs on we headed down the trail. The sun was shining down through the trees, and when we dropped onto the lake it was just georgeous out. We encountered a little slush below the top layer of snow on the lake, but we made great time on our way out to the pictographs. We hope you enjoy our first winter episode.

Day three on our trip into Lac LaCroix we took off early in the morning in search of Warrior Hill and some vivid pictographs. We paddled across calm waters and under sunny skies. There were a couple of bald eagles chattering away in a tree nearby. As we rounded the bend into the bay that Warrior Hill resides we encountered a little wind that made paddling a little more strenuous. The sun was still shining and getting to see Warrior Hill rise up in front of us was worth the the struggle against the wind. The Pictographs were abundant when we finally found the cliff face they resided on. The moose figures and hand prints were really something to see. Thinking about what it must have been like when they were placed on the rocks really makes you appreciate what their lives must have been like.

The pictographs on Crooked Lake are not quite as vivid as the ones on North Hegman lake, but the location is just breathtaking. The cliff face coming up out of the water containing the pictographs creates mirrored images off the water that can look like abstract paintings.

The pictographs on Crooked Lake are not quite as vivid as the ones on North Hegman lake, but the location is just breathtaking. The cliff face coming up out of the water containing the pictographs creates mirrored images off the water that can look like abstract paintings.

Hegman Lake is a great little day trip out of Ely. It has historic pictographs believed to have been painted by ojibwa native americans. If your into canoeing it's a great episode to check out.
