## Resource

19: The Language of the Forest: Bigfoot Signs, Sightings and the Paranormal with Rick Reles This week on Dark Florida , I’m joined by someone I’ve had the honor of squatching with in the field— Rick Reles , BFRO investigator, author, musician, and lifelong seeker of the unknown 👣🌲 Rick shares the story of the roadside Bigfoot encounter that started it all, his experiences leading expeditions, and what he’s learned from years of boots-on-the-ground research. We also dive into the fascinating (and often misunderstood) world of stick structures —could they be more than just random wood formations? Are they signs? Markers? Warnings? 🌀🌿 We also touch on the big question... does Bigfoot ever cross over into the paranormal ? You’ll also hear about Rick’s awesome book Field Guide to Bigfoot Stick Structures 📖 (now in its 4th edition !), his music project Just Rick 🎶, and the merch he's creating with IKNOWSQUATCH . Whether you're a seasoned researcher or Bigfoot-curious, this episode will have you looking at the woods a little differently... ✨ Links & Ways to Support the Show : 📸 Follow on Instagram: @darkfloridapodcast 📬 Email your stories or guest inquiries: darkfloridapodcast@gmail.com ☕ Support the show: buymeacoffee.com/darkflorida 📺 Subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/darkflorida411 💬 If you’ve seen something strange or unexplainable, I want to hear from you!
