Cliff Barackman from Finding Bigfoot Comes to Portland April 15th


Every time Cliff speaks at HopsSquatch we sell-out and we have to turn people away. This event will be even more special. This will be our last chance to preview Cliff's presentation in Ohio, he is also about to leave town to film more episodes of Finding Bigfoot. Please make sure you get your tickets. SEATING IS LIMITED. Cliff Barackman, star of Finding Bigfoot needs no introduction. He is one of the headliners of this year's biggest bigfoot conference.

Though most widely-known for his work on Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot, Cliff has been a Sasquatch field researcher for more than twenty years. He has researched in 44 of the 50 States, as well as seven foreign countries on five continents. His vast experience with the subject makes him a sought-after Bigfoot expert for media outlets, and he has been featured in the Huffington Post, FOX News, Newsweek Magazine, and more. While well-versed in bigfooting field techniques and video analysis, his specialty lies in footprints and their casts, of which he owns the world's second largest collection. While not on the road, Cliff maintains his website and blog featuring articles about Sasquatches and his research.

Cliff Barackman isn't your average bigfooter. When he’s not at his job spending days and nights looking for Sasquatch on Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot, you’ll find him on vacation—spending days and nights looking for Sasquatch!

Thom Powell: Where Finding Bigfoot Meets X-Files

Cliff Barackman and Thom Powell shooting Finding Bigfoot episode, "Dronie Loves Squatchie"

Tonight's episode of Finding Bigfoot will feature one of the most unique investigators of Bigfoot History; Thom Powell. We have reported that Thom has been ahead of the curve when it comes to the paranormal side of Bigfoot research. He is also one of the few investigators that ties the Sasquatch phenomena to the UFO mystery. In fact, his latest post, "My Life is an X-Files Episode" discusses how his latest book Edges of Science fits Bigfoot into the X-files genre.

 At one point I was writing a chapter about the paranormal mysteries inherent in the enigmatic Anasazi culture.  I took a break from my writing and turned on the TV. I flipped to an X-files rerun.  To my amazement, Agent Mulder was journeying to the Anasazi ruins of New Mexico in hopes of verifying his suspicion that the extraterrestrials were hiding out right here on earth.  I shot off the TV. "Oh great," I thought. "Now Chris Carter has hacked into my hard drive."

I guess I don't care, anymore.  I finally finished writing Edges of Science.  It reads like a full season of X-files episodes.  My view agrees perfectly with that of Agent Fox Mulder.  The ETs are dug in to enclaves that are scattered throughout the earth.  David Duchovny's character, Fox Mulder is right. Gillian Anderson's character, Agent Scully, the sexy skeptic, is wrong. Sexy, but wrong.
