He has also appeared several times on the SasWhat podcast. His primary research deals with the consistent presence of bigfoot-type creatures in folklore and legend throughout human history, and the theory that, far from being merely some psychological archetype or cultural emblem, that there is a substantive, biological reality behind the accounts of this mysterious creature. His presentation for this year’s conference focuses on swamp-dwelling Bigfoot. http://www.vabigfootconference.com/speakers.html Gunnar Monson is a long time Bigfoot researcher.
