A first nations member of Kwa-waki-wak tribe, Tom uses his fantastic story telling skills to explain his encounters and those of his ancestors with the Sasquatch. In this interview, the first ever designed to introduce cryptid research grant applicants to their prospective audiences when they appear on Crytpid Tank. The premise behind the Cryptid Tank show is to fund eligible researchers and research with funding from a fixed percentage of money set aside from the sale of Cryptid Coins. Researchers will have to defend their proposals in front of a panel of three no nonsense judges. These judges will ultimately decide if the proposal is realistic and fundable or if it should get gonged out of existence by the judges.

Cryptid Crypto Currency With Stephen Major
Cryptid cryptocurrency is the new rage in cryptocurrencies and we are going to discover some interesting things from Extreme Expeditions Northwest CEO and founder Stephen T. Major.
Stephen will relate how his boyhood experiences and Bigfoot encounter led to the introduction of a crypto currency dedicated to the research and discovery of life forms that now only dwell in the realms of what is know as cryptozoology.
Stephen Major thinks crypto currency and cryptozoology are going to be natural allies in the future. With the increasing reliance upon currency outside the dollar, Stephen Major explains why, in his opinion, Cryptid Coin is going to revolutionize funding for Cryptozoological research.
Major is setting aside 30% of the total number of coins, or tokens more accurately to the funding of research. It is an interesting podcast with a lot of interesting ideas you won't want to miss.

Zero Point Energy UFOs & The Mystery Of A Quantum Field Bigfoot
Today on Encounters USA we discussed the issue of UFO Disclosure and technology and how it may apply to the mystery of Bigfoot and other cryptids.
Encounters USA assembled a rounded panel of experts to give a perspective from differing viewpoints.
For our well-grounded researcher, we chose Crystal Panek. Crystal is a researcher and a computer engineer in New Hamphshire.
Crystal’s first Bigfoot sighting happened when she was a young girl. She was literally besieged by a Bigfoot who entered her trailer. Crystal has no qualms about what she thinks Bigfoot is.
To give us a skeptical and scientific viewpoint, we invited Dr. Simeon Hein. Dr. Hein is a sociologist and author. He has studied remote viewing, crop circles and the effects of encounters with strange entities.
He has compiled his research into the books Black Swan Ghosts and Opening Minds.
Finally, to expound the field or quantum capable Bigfoot theory, we invited world famous Bigfoot researcher Ron Morehead.
Ron’s famous books, Voices In the Wilderness and his latest, Quantum Bigfoot leave no question that Ron has theories about the Bigfoot mystery that go beyond the primate theory.
With our well rounded panel of experts we began to look into the mystery surrounding the latest UFO disclosures, the mysterious ‘suicide’ of Mark McCandlish and his discovery of Zero Point Energy Alien Reproduction Vehicles.
Is the technology propelling UFOs also propelling Bigfoot?
We will discuss the possibilities on Encounters USA.

Baker Lake Bigfoot On the Hunt For Soggy Bottom
Encounters USA returned to Baker Lake on the hunt for Soggy Bottom. Baker Lake has been the center of Bigfoot activity for years.
Amphibious Operations
In this Encounters USA video, we are going to conduct amphibious operations to establish a relationship with any known Sasquatch in the area.
Using our Sea Eagle Paddleski with Torqeedo Electric Motor, our intention is to cross the lake to vacant campgrounds at Paradise Cove.
Graham Crackers and Infrared
Once our beachhead is established we will begin call blasting from the Bigfoot Sounds App.
Once call blasting is finished, Encounters USA will move to the wood line. Once there, we will distribute graham crackers.
We will then observe the area using our FLIR ONE IOS App. Our intention is to test the capability of the FLIR tracking a mammal in heavy vegetation.
Encounters USA Goes High Tech
Following the FLIR Exercises we will use our DJI Gimbal in its various modes to familiarize ourselves, our subscribers and our counterparts with what technology we bring to the table.
As you will see, the best laid plans are sometimes the next best laid plans. With an ever changing environment at the lake, we had to be flexible.

Bigfoot Tree Updates Are They Really Just Cold Feet & Old Info?
Are you waiting for Bigfoot Tree Updates and are you thinking they’re really just cold feet & old info?
A brief disclaimer about the Bigfoot Tree and the Wallace family.
Since the moment I heard about this story, I have been fascinated by the story of the Lori Simmons Bigfoot Tree.
I have been to the Bigfoot Tree where I conducted an interview with Researcher Brent Dill. We sat with our backs to the tree and listened to the sounds of two trees, grown together.
The trees were making rubbing noises as the wind sifted through its branches.
That was not the end of the story for me. According to Brent Dill, Don Wallace, Lori & Michael’s father had extensive interactions with various Sasquatch in that area.
Everyone Has The Right To Be Heard on Encounters USA
In the world of the paranormal, we are all looking for clues to solve the grandest puzzle of all. Encounters USA believes everyone has the right to be heard, unless they are proven false.
Or they don’t show up for a podcast…
The Bigfoot Tree is just one example of how some people, completely discount evidence because they don’t agree with the presenter.
As we will see the division over the debate still smolders like a campfire made of old hickory and diesel oil.

Hunting for Bigfoot? Jason Kenzie Extreme Film Maker Talks About His Latest Documentary
If you’re hunting for bigfoot, you may want to listen to Extreme Film Maker Jason Kenzie talk about his latest documentary.
Jason Kenzie grew up in the small town of Chilliwack, Canada. Although we can’t be sure what the name of the town means, we can only hope it is a First Nations term.
We can also hope it isn’t the town past time in winter.
Of course, the effects of growing up in a town so named, and in Canada no less, can be readily seen in Jason Kenzie.
Jason is man ready to brave the wildest and most exotic animals just to get out of Chilliwack, British Columbia.

Indeed, we are going to discover how Jason’s career as a photographer, led him around the world, filming exotic animals with wealthy owners.
Jason’s interest in the paranormal and the legend of Sasquatch, as well as the stories of the First Nations peoples sparked an interest.
From Photograph to Video
A quick glance at aphotowarrior Jason’s YouTube channel will reveal how Jason uses video and color.
His videos feature a number of different animals in crisp colors and high definition that look out of this world.
Paranormal Documentaries
Jason’s first documentary A Bigfoot Documentary: Searching For Sasquatch can be seen by clicking the link at the end of this article.

Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival William Bisson & Amy Bue Big Scoop on Bigfoot
Today on Encounters USA Metaline Bigfoot Festival, Bigfoot Hunter Stephen Major’s movie debut Sullivan Creek Sasquatch as well as the new Bigfoot documentary from Animal Photographer Jason Humber.
In addition, we’ll have updates on Speakers at the Metaline Bigfoot Festival, a short announcement concerning Encounters USA and Stephen Major’s Extreme Expeditions Northwest. So, it’s gonna be a great show. Please stay tuned.
Technical Problems
The show you are about watch or listen to on podcast has one major flaw. It’s missing the second half of the Encounters USA interview with Amy Bue and Bill Bisson, the organizer of the event. Due to the fact that Amy wasn’t available for the second one, and even though I never told him what happened, I have not been able to nail down Bill for the second interview.
Metaline Falls Updates
Thanks to the information passed along by organizer Bill Bisson in the first interview, I can give a fairly updated speaker list to get everyone excited about the Festival.
Of course, I don’t have the entire list, but I do know that Dr. Robert Alley is going to be there to talk about his research on Alaska Sasquatch.
Similarly, Larry “Beans” Baxter is going to be talking about his book Abandoned. Of course, if you’ve seen the interview or listened to the podcast with Beans, you’re gonna know about the mystery of Port Chatham and the mysterious Hairy Man.
My old friend Thom Cantrall will be speaking at the festival about his latest book Sasquatch Face to Face.
Amy Bue is also going to be discussing her research at the festival with a presentation on her latest activities. Of course, we’re all expecting to hear about Amy’s experiences in the latest Stephen Major motion picture, Bigfoot Encounters in the Pacific Northwest.
There will be a total of twelve speakers in all and two movie debuts in the historic Metaline Falls Theater.
I think the biggest thrill for everyone is going to be seeing Bob Gimlin at the festival. Bob is scheduled to speak so we are all looking forward to hearing what words of encouragement he’s going to have for those who are continuing the search.
If you had seen the last half of the podcast, the one that wasn’t recorded, that is what you would have seen. Of course there were the usual funny exchanges about the speakers at the festival, who killed JFK and the answer to the meaning of life, but as I said I forgot to press record.
Now that we have all of the big news about the festival, here is some insider news you won’t know unless you are an Encounters USA fan.
Most people know about my interviews with former law enforcement official Rich Germeau. One of those interviews was done at Lake Cushman, on the Hood Canal. Where Rish showed me a site of Bigfoot activity.
Some months ago, the gentleman who owned that property contacted me. What he had to say was even more interesting than Rich’s interactions.
A number of Sasquatch interacted with the owners of the property and their guests at a fire pit I was not allowed to film. This interaction happened on a number of occasions.
In addition, during the interactions with the Sasquatch clan, there was a flurry of UFO activity above the property and above the property.
I cannot wait for the Metaline Falls Bigfoot Festival!

Bigfoot in Alaska A Mysterious Abandoned Port Chatham & Larry Baxter
Bigfoot in Alaska A Mysterious Abandoned Port Chatham & Larry Baxter.
Today welcomed Larry “Beans” Baxter for a discussion about his new book, Abandoned The Horror and History of Port Chatham Alaska.
As we all know, a good book about a horrific incident in an exotic place always begets a Hollywood blockbuster. Jaws is just one example.
Is Larry Beans Baxter getting ready for a breakout bestseller and an accompanying blockbuster? Only time will tell.
For our interview with Larry “Beans” Baxter, we wanted to do more than just ask questions about looking for Bigfoot. We wanted to find out how an author like Beans Baxter decides Bigfoot at Port Chatham is worth writing a book about.
As you will see from the podcast and the YouTube video, Beans Baxter gave highly candid and detailed responses about his interests in the topic.
Furthermore, we’ll find out what led Beans to join a small party of Bigfoot researchers, biologists and like-minded individuals in one of the most bear infested territories in the world.
As we said at the beginning, the Beans book, Abandoned The Horror and History of Port Chatham Alaska was partly inspired by an expedition dreamed up by Adam Davies noted cryptozoologist and Stephen T. Major, film maker and head of Extreme Expeditions Northwest LLC.
While Stephen T. Major went in search of an expedition, Beans Baxter went in search of what really happened at Port Chatham and how it came to be Abandoned.
The story only starts with the podcast and the blog. Where it finishes, is yet to be seen.
Until next time,
Keep on Reading!
And always,
Watch Your Back!
