Ken has spent decades tracking reports of Bigfoot, Mothman, the Loch Ness Monster, the Chupacabra, and other cryptids that refuse to fade into folklore. His work has appeared on MonsterQuest, The UnXplained, Ancient Aliens, and The Proof Is Out There on the History Channel. In this eerie but grounded conversation, we explore what cryptids really are, how investigators separate real evidence from campfire stories, and why Bigfoot remains the most hotly debated cryptid in the world. Ken breaks down the strongest arguments for and against Bigfoot’s existence, examines the mystery of Mothman, and explains why some cases leave even experienced researchers unsettled. We also dig into eyewitness accounts, footprints, historical legends, and the biggest misconceptions people have about cryptozoology and what it’s really like to chase creatures that may not want to be found. If you’re fascinated by Bigfoot, Mothman, and the unexplained, this one’s for you.
