Summary
🎙️ Episode 29: In the Shadow of Big Red Eye: Bigfoot with Mike Familant The Florida woods hold secrets, and tonight we’re venturing straight into them. On this episode of Dark Florida , I, Brooke Moreland, sit down with full-time Bigfoot researcher and investigator Mike Familant . Mike’s story begins right here in the Sunshine State, where a strange encounter in 2011 changed the course of his life forever. Since then, he has dedicated himself to uncovering the truth about Bigfoot through countless expeditions, late-night investigations, and hours of analyzing mysterious evidence. He’s the producer and lead investigator behind the long-running docuseries In the Shadow of Big Red Eye , which documents his raw, unscripted adventures into Bigfoot territory. He’s also the creator of Squatchables , a series that helps new researchers learn how to take their very first steps into the field. In this conversation, Mike shares his journey from that first eerie encounter in Florida to years of chasing Bigfoot across the Eastern United States. We talk about what it’s like to live the life of a squatcher—what really goes on during a night in the field, and the moments that have left him convinced that Bigfoot is out there. He also opens up about the challenges of being both a researcher and a storyteller, balancing skepticism with passion, and what it takes to keep going after more than a decade of searching. Whether you’re a longtime believer or just curious about the unknown, this episode will make you look twice at the shadows between the trees. 👣🌲 🔗 Connect with Mike Familant Mike's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@shadowofredeye Mike’s Website: https://www.youtube.com/@shadowofredeye 🌌 Connect with Dark Florida Instagram: instagram.com/darkfloridapodcast YouTube: youtube.com/…
