The Legend That Is Bigfoot - Part 1

This is the end of season break multi part special of the Haunted UK Podcast, and it's in this episode which was chosen by listeners, that we'll be delving into the legend that is Bigfoot.

Around 21,000 years ago during the last ice age, many scientists agree that a huge land bridge existed which stretched between North American Alaska and Russia. This is now the location of the Bering Sea. It is widely believed that this land bridge enabled human settlers to migrate from the Asian Continent and to begin to forge a new life in this huge new world. But during their incredibly dangerous journey, did these early explorers unknowingly invade the territory of a mysterious creature, one that now features in almost all Native American fokelore? Stories and sightings of this mythical beast continue to crop up even today, ranging from fleeting glimpses, to full on encounters. This legendary creature is know by many different names including Dark Watchers, Ts'emekwes, Skoocooms and Sasquatch...but you and I know it better as Bigfoot...

Have you seen a ghost, witnessed poltergeist activity, had a strange, unexplained paranormal experience? Have you ever stayed in a haunted location, or experienced something frightening on a ghost tour. Ever better, do you live or work in a haunted house or building? Have you encountered or seen a UFO, heard a story about an unsolved disappearance or mystery, or have you been lucky enough to witness a strange, unknown creature? If you have, then your story could feature on Season 3's listener stories finale episode.
