Welcome to Planet Strange! | Thom Powell

Join us in a captivating discussion with Bigfoot expert Thom Powell. In this episode, Thom shares his incredible journey from a skeptical science teacher to a respected figure in Bigfoot research. He recaps his deep involvement with the BFRO and highlights notable incidents, including the discovery of the Skookum Cast in Gifford Pinchot National Forest and the mysterious encounters in the Clackamas River Basin. Thom delves into the concept of Bigfoot habituation and recounts his communications with a psychic that allegedly led to compelling evidence, such as a shadowy figure captured on a trail camera and an emu bone found in peculiar circumstances. Not to mention the strange, almost humorous interactions that hint at Bigfoot’s intelligence and playfulness. Thom also discusses his latest book, 'Planet Strange,' which explores the intersections between Sasquatch sightings and extraterrestrial phenomena. Whether you are a curious skeptic or a dedicated believer, Thom’s firsthand accounts and groundbreaking theories offer a fresh perspective on the enduring Bigfoot mystery.Resources:The Locals by Thom Powell - https://amzn.to/4hQeCNu (Amazon affiliate link)Planet Strange by Thom Powell - https://amzn.to/4j59ypg (Amazon affiliate link)BFRO writeup on the Siege at Honobia - https://www.bfro.net/avevid/ouachita/siege-at-honobia.aspAnimal X Skookum Cast episode - https://youtu.be/_PcvIILxG4Q?feature=sharedThe Oregon Bigfoot Highway book - https://amzn.to/3FTANVs (Amazon affiliate link)Sasquatch Summerfest this year, is July 11th through the 12th, 2025.
