It\'s much more comfortable for most of us to think of paranormal subjects as having their origins beginning only in recent history \\u2013 an amusing byproduct of mid-twentieth century foolishness or the internet age.\\xa0 Much easier to dismiss then.\\xa0 Many people, persuaded by an uninformed media, believe UFOs only started appearing to the public after pilot Kenneth Arnold\'s famous sighting while flying near Mt. Rainier on June 24, 1947, or the incident in Roswell, NM, just fourteen days later.\\xa0 Similarly, many people believe the Bigfoot or Sasquatch phenomenon only began in 1958 in Bluff Creek, California, after the family of Ray Wallace claimed he started it all by leaving large, fake footprints made with wooden carvings as a prank.\\xa0 It\'s uncomfortable to consider that these unnerving intrusions into our comfortable reality had occurred for maybe hundreds, if not thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years before our sophisticated logic matured.\\xa0 However, researchers who study paranormal phenomena know that reports of these things, especially Bigfoot, go back far beyond written history.\\xa0 Unfortunately, yet not surprisingly, there seems to be an air of ethnocentrism and hubris when it comes to western scientists giving credence to the indigenous oral traditions of encounters with these massive, hairy ape-like beasts.\\xa0 Yet, it stands to reason that if any of these beings truly existed, their origins likely go back further than the birth of Rock and Roll.\\xa0 So, how far back do the sightings of Bigfoot and Sasquatch go?\\xa0 Here\'s a hint: it\'s a lot more ancient and global than you probably imagined.\\xa0 To help us explore this enigma, we\'re fortunate to have our dear friend, researcher, science enthusiast, author, and fellow podcaster Micah Hanks join us for a roundtable discussion.\\xa0 We\'ll hear about his latest research into the earliest known writings and oral histories of the cryptic cousin creature we\'ve come to know and love.
