Our guest this week was Lyle Blackburn, author of The Beast of Boggy Creek, contributor to Rue Morgue Horror Magazine, and musician with the band Ghoultown. We do briefly lose Lyle due to a power outage in his area, but we get him back quickly, meanwhile airing one of his songs. Among other things, we discuss...
- The film that started the mainstream interest in this particular cryptid, The Legend of Boggy Creek.
- How Lyle got involved in the research.
- The area the beast has been sighted in.
- How far back the sightings go.
- Paranormal aspects of sightings.
- Some of the more compelling sightings.
- How wide of an area is involved.
- The problems with researching such a creature.
- Bigfoot research in general.
- Lyle's next book and upcoming appearances.
