There are two camps on Bigfoot beliefs.  These are not mutually exclusive theories.  One is the physical (lost tribe, species. An actual large primate we haven’t found due to hiding and decomp) the other is paranormal.  Today we focus on the more paranormal aspects.  Which can be further broken down into; multidimensional, spiritual, somewhere in quantum physics.    Most paranormal experiences do have similar points, usually in that Bigfoot is seen as a protector/defender of the forest and the natural world.   Mike's experiences qualify as paranormal.  As we all remember, Mike is in contact with Nef and his family.  They have been present at his apartment in the city, and at his cabin in the woods.  They often take or move things as well as presenting gifts.  Mostly marbles it seems.   He communicates with them via vocalizations (which he has recorded), mind-speak (they send thoughts and images into his mind), and he uses a chalkboard to ask questions.  He leaves it alone and there is usually a y/n response.  Nef allows Mike to photograph and video him, but Mike maintains most of this evidence nef has not allowed him to share yet.  He feels as though they are multidimensional beings that can teleport and step in and out of reality.  Mike believes nef and his family communicate with him because he is a good person with an open heart, and they (sasquatches) want to establish a connection to humanity for the purposes of saving us from ourselves.   Follow Into the Obscure here: facebook: @into.the.obscure.podcast instagram: @⁠into_the_obscure_podcast⁠ youtube: @IntoTheObscurePodcast twitch: @intotheobscurepodcast Subscribe, Rate and Review Into the Obscure podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/into-the-obscure/id1702442557 Special thanks to Andy Slater/Calculator Font for the theme song. Follow Andy here: ⁠⁠https://calculatorfont.bandcamp.com/album/light-boundaries⁠⁠And here: ⁠⁠https://www.thisisandyslater.net/⁠⁠

Tonight we wanted to open up a little bit about something that we care about, which is preservation and access to spooky places. Abandoned places like Old Joliet Prison can teach us so much about our history, our evolving culture, and our never-ending question of what remains after we leave this life. These places should be treated with reverence and respect, not as poker chips in a political games. Ghost hunters like Zak Wenzel and so many others help preserve these spaces. So just as believe in protecting our wild places, we also believe we should protect our places that have returned to the wild. Specials thanks to Andy Slater of Calculator Font for our theme.
