Thom Powell video
19AUG25
with a sense of humor
can't throw in the towel
there's something new
check out Thom Powell
in this new interview
could get muddy
so bring extra gear
learn about his study
of bigfoot on Mt. Ranier
used to teach school
wisdom was gifted
now he learns the rules
of the cryptids
has studied the beast
from near and far
thinks he's at least
as smart as we are
his book was a trip
written at least 2 more
they all drip
with sense of humor
I mentioned last week that I intended to put up another bigfoot video on the blog. This is an interview with Thom Powell by A Flash of Beauty you tube channel. If you have read very much of the blog you will know that we are big fans of A Flash of Beauty and all of the content that they put on you tube. Mr. Powell is a retired high school science teacher who spent most of his teaching career ridiculing the bigfoot researchers until he bought property out in the woods and was informed by his next door neighbor to be prepared to deal with the phenomenon.
His story goes on to describe that as he attempts to study them he slowly begins to realize that they very well may be more intelligent than he is. He uses several unorthodox methods to try to communicate with them. His is an entertaining story. Like all things in the bigfoot world I will leave it up to you as to how much of it you want to buy or believe. But his story is very similar to a lot of the other researchers.
He throws out some names in the interview. You may want to google them if you are unfamiliar with them. A lot of times these guys assume that the listeners are familiar with another researcher’s work or books. A lot of times I find myself pausing a video while I google a name on another device.
We have stated this many times in the blog but just in case there are some new readers we are in no way trying to convince anyone that bigfoot exists. And we have zero interest in finding one. What ever you believe on the subject is ok with us. If you do not believe that bigfoot exists that is probably the best for all concerned. That seems to be the way they want to keep it ( if they exist ). They seem to be smart enough to realize that things usually do not go that great for those that we “discover” or “befriend” or “try to help.”
As crazy as the whole interview is you can still sense that he is trying to wrestle with the subject thru the lens of a high school science teacher. And when you get on the wrestling mat with the subject of bigfoot I’m not sure that’s an opponent that you are going to be able to get a grip on. I will refer you to the second quote on this blog’s home page.
“The deeper you look into the bigfoot issue, the more confusing the creature becomes.”
Ray Crowe, 2008
The video is 59:22 minutes long. I usually break the longer videos up in smaller chunks. I also usually try to do some type of exercise while I watch. I do that for two reasons. It keeps me more alert and I don’t feel like I’m wasting as much time.
The link for the video is below. Enjoy the video. And enjoy your day!
