On this episode of Expanded Perspectives Elite, Cam starts the show off talking about his allergies and how Skelekin Studios has moved once again. This time the studio is being built at Cam’s house and hopefully they will not need to move again. Then, Cam gets into some strange tales of Bigfoot or Sasquatch being over aggressive in the woods.
The legends of Bigfoot go back beyond recorded history and cover the world. In North America – and particularly the Northwest – you can hear tales of seven-foot-tall hairy men stalking the woods, occasionally scaring campers, lumberjacks, hikers and the like.
Bigfoot is known by many titles with many different cultures although the name Bigfoot is generally attributed to the mountainous Western region of North America. The common name Sasquatch comes from the Salish Sasquits, while the Algonquin of the north-central region of the continent refer to a Witiko or Wendigo. Other nations tell of a large creature much like a man but imbued with special powers and characteristics. The Ojibway of the Northern Plains believed the Rugaru appeared in times of danger and other nations agreed that the hairy apparition was a messenger of warning, telling man to change his ways. Why are some sightings peaceful while others are not?
