## Resource

🎧 Episode 24: Watched in the Wild: Bigfoot in the Rockies 👣 with special guest Rachel In this episode of Dark Florida, I’m joined by the brilliant and bold Rachel. A triple science major with an academic background in biology, genetics, microbiology, and geology. Whose lifelong curiosity about the natural world led her straight into the heart of high strangeness. We dive deep into her chilling Bigfoot sighting in the Colorado Rockies back in 2001, where she felt an undeniable presence... something watching, something waiting. Could Bigfoot have been playing a game with her that day in the mountains? We unpack that moment and how it shifted her understanding of the world. But that was just the beginning. Rachel opens up about a new sighting, this time, involving her young son at Lithia Springs. And the eerie connection it shares with a Missing 411 case that happened in the same area 60 years earlier. We talk about what it means to be a "marked person" after these types of encounters, and whether belief itself makes you more open to the phenomenon… or if the phenomenon finds you. We explore the science behind the folklore. From the truth hidden in old stories to the hard questions about DNA. What would it take for Bigfoot to be accepted by the scientific community? Why do so many alleged Bigfoot DNA samples only show mitochondrial DNA? Rachel shares her insights and theories with clarity, skepticism, and an open mind. And just when you think it can’t get weirder, we head to a haunted hotel in New Orleans where Rachel had a terrifying, visceral encounter she still can't explain. This episode is a wild mix of science, mystery, folklore, and fear. And it might just leave you wondering what’s really out there, lurking just beyond the trees. 🎙️LISTEN NOW 🕸️ Stay connected and…
