Strange Familiars: Episode 37: The Oldest Bigfoot Photo?

Alison and Timothy have a discussion about some antique photos which purport to show paranormal entities. First they discuss an article which is being shared on social media of a photo which is supposed to be the oldest bigfoot photo and the many reasons why they doubt this photo is what it is claimed to be. In the second part of the show they discuss the Cottingly fairy photographs, ghost photographs, spirit photography, and more. Episode 37 notes and links: The cover image is from a photograph in Timothy’s collection. This is not the image we discuss in this episode and is, in fact, a man holding a bear skin. It is an example of the type of old photograph which often gets shared as a “bigfoot photo”. This is a link to the article on Ancient Origins website which shows the “bigfoot” photo we discuss in this episode: https://www.ancient-origins.net/unexplained-phenomena/bigfoot-cryptozoology-conspiracy-0010179 The Cottingly fairy photographs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottingley_Fairies The photo of the soldier from Devil’s Den as discussed:   One of the ghost photos discussed: Timothy’s books: https://www.amazon.com/Timothy-Renner/e/B072X44SD5 Sarada: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtBySarada Michael Anderson: https://drekka.bandcamp.com Alison: https://www.etsy.com/shop/odpeacock Contact us via email at: [email protected] http://www.facebook.com/strangefamiliars Join the Strange Familiars Gathering group on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/strangefamiliars/ instagram: @strangefamiliars http://www.strangefamiliars.com Intro and background music by Stone Breath.
