you tube videos
think the city knows
internet's reeling toll
think you tube videos
are stealing my soul
write this rhyme
if I can get away
they steal my time
every single day
got me robotic
& half asleep
got me hypnotic
I'm under deep
in a pod I grow
in the Matrix
& God knows
I do hate this
brain is fried
too much bandwidth
as I hide
from Agent Smith
All joking & bad poetry aside. One of the fastest ways to find out about bigfoot and this whole phenomenon is to watch you tube videos. Some are 5 to 15 minutes long and a lot of them are over an hour long. I rarely ever watch any of the content any longer than 20 minutes. You can always come back and finish it later. I usually try to incorporate some type of exercise while I’m watching so I don’t feel like I’ve wasted so much time.
As we list these sites we will try to indicate where each site stands on the flesh and blood hypothesis versus the paranormal side of the fence.The flesh and blood hypothesis proponents believe that bigfoot/sasquatch is an animal roaming the woods. Whereas the paranormal proponents are open to and actually believe that it is something that is unexplainable. They tend to believe in different dimensions, portals, cloaking, telepathy and a number of other abilities that they think bigfoot is capable of.
When each side discusses this they usually throw in the disclaimer that they are open minded about what bigfoot actually is. This always make me giggle. Because we are having a discussion about bigfoot actually existing which to the general public would signal ample open mindedness : )
- Flash of Beauty
This site is firmly in the paranormal camp. As a matter of fact I think their 2nd documentary film is titled Flash of Beauty: Paranormal Bigfoot. If you don’t watch any thing else on this list at least try to watch the first 5 minutes of this film. And try to watch it on the biggest screen you can. The cinematography is almost breath taking. I should also mention that the Carl Sagan quote on this blog’s home page was taken from the intro to this film. They drop videos and documentaries periodically. They also do a Thursday night weekly podcast. If you watch their material you will eventually start to question a lot of the assumptions that you have made about reality.
2. The Alaska Bigfoot Studies
This is Chuke who I think slowly branched into the bigfoot world from his videos on guns and hunting. He puts out a bigfoot video every Sunday. They are usually between 10 & 20 minutes long. He has 2 collaborators that he usually checks in with. One is Rob Roy Mendez who owns the Bigfoot Art Gallery in Palmer Alaska. And the other is Beans Baxter a retired law enforcement officer who also has a book and I think his own channel. These guys have a good chemistry and comraderie. They almost give the show a Mayberry vibe. And they seem to be mostly in the flesh and and blood camp.
- 3. Bigfoot Society is hosted and created by Jeremiah Byron.
- 4. Sasquatch Chronicles is hosted by Wes Germer.
I am combining these two channels because they appear to be very similar to me. When I was 1st learning about bigfoot Sasquatch Chronicles was really the only site I knew about. So I listened to a lot of their videos. Where the first 2 are that channels that you actually watch these are voice only. You listen while the host interviews those people who have had experiences. They usually end by asking the witnesses exactly what do they think these things actually are. The hosts are polite and encouraging to the witnesses. And this approach makes it seem like they kind of sit in the middle of the paranormal/flesh and blood discussion.
This is Steve Isdahl. He is a hunting & fishing guide in Canada. He starts every video off with footage of him somewhere in the wilderness. Those introductions are wonderful to watch. After that he usually sits somewhere and reads emails of bigfoot encounters that people have sent him off of his smart phone. This guy is obviously out in the wild a lot. He often interjects his opinion on things. And it is what you would expect from someone who has led an honest hardworking life. One of the goals of his channel is to give people a safe place to tell their story. On the question of flesh and blood vs paranormal Mr. Isdahl seems to be open to the paranormal.
6. Les Stroud
Les Stroud has a number of videos on the internet but my favorite ones are the interviews he does with different people about their sightings and run ins with bigfoot. All of these interviews are any where from about 5 to 25minutes. Les Stroud has made several comments about once you become aware of what these creatures are capable of that it makes you question a lot of things. He tells a story about experiencing mind speak and going to see a mental health professional to make sure he was sound mental health wise. That is a round about way of saying that he seems to be open to bigfoot being paranormal.
These are some of the videos that we watch. This list is by no means exhaustive. I’m sure there are great bigfoot video channels and sites out there that are not included in this list. But as you enter the bigfoot world you’ll soon discover that the amount of content is so great that you will have to choose probably just a few if you want to have time for anything else. And be careful with that because this subject is so bizarre and off the wall that it is easy to get sucked in and become obsessed.

In reorganizing the blog I am going to add one more channel that I have started watching since I first wrote this blog post 7 months ago.
7. kentuckybigfoot.com or the KBRO
I started googling them in the weeks before the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025. I features several of their videos in the blog posts before that festival. And I think that google now makes me much more aware of the content that they put out. That and the fact that I tend to run into and see Charlie Raymond at a lot of festivals. They tend to lean more toward the flesh and blood camp than they do the paranormal. But in all of the discussions that I have seen they seem to be open minded about the issue.
I am linking an interview that Charlie Raymond did with a lady from Kentucky that has an ongoing bigfoot habituation on her property for a number of years. I actually met her and her son just over from Dr. Jeff Meldrum’s table at the Red River Gorge Bigfoot Fest 2025. I think she told me she first saw a bigfoot on her property when she was 6 years old.
Here is the link to the video.(13:57)
