EPISODE #921 LEGENDS OF TEXAS BIGFOOTRichard welcomes cryptid researcher and author Lyle Blackburn to discuss how for nearly two hundred years, residents of the Lone Star State have reported dramatic encounters with elusive wild men and hair-covered beasts that surely rival those from any part of the world. Texas may be known for its western landscapes yet its true geography is incredibly diverse, offering miles upon miles of piney woods, dense thickets, creeks, and even swamps where mysterious creatures may indeed roam and flourish. Is Sasquatch among them? GUEST: Lyle Blackburn is a native Texan known for his work in writing, music, film, and cryptid research.
