How to insult Bigfoot and survive to tell the tale!
Welcome to the 5th episode of the Paranormal Rundown! In case you missed Episode 4, be sure to go back and check it out. We had our first Paranormal Rundown Roundup, where we have a much deeper discussion on a few topics we had previously tabled, including Folk Magic and the Antichrist.
For this episode, our guest is Bigfoot data miner and retired police officer, Val Zavala. Val profiles Bigfoot Sasquatches and has his own Facebook group: Michigan Bigfoot Report and Data: Gumshoguy’s Corner. He also co-hosts the Rolling the Bones podcast with his good friend Grizzly Chris.
Val served two tours in the military as a combat infantrymen and military police investigator. He is a Bachelor of Science graduate of Central Michigan University, and retired after spending over 25 years in law enforcement, from city all the way up to federal agencies. When off duty, he was a licensed private investigator. He has been a police instructor, published articles, spoken at seminars, and been featured on History A & E channel as a subject matter expert. He was even a vetted member of an international intelligence group. Needless to say, Val has his share of experience investigating things!
Before retiring, Val's last curtain call was a humanitarian act of paying it forward, when he set out to search for a person missing for 30+ years, and reunite them with their Ohio family (at no charge). The successful search and recovery took almost 2 years, aided by a medium and DNA.
In 2014, Val had his first and only Bigfoot encounter in Waterloo State Park, Washtenaw County, Michigan. Since then he has spent his time reading, analyzing, comparing and quantifying then sorting hundreds and thousands of Bigfoot reports across the U.S. and North America.
In addition to his thoughts on bigfootery, we discuss Hollywood Overseers, AI, cross pollination of paranormal experiences, phantom 911 calls, spontaneous combustion, psychics, missing 411, Sasquatch the Thief and more. So get ready for a wandering journey through Val's extensive experiences in the paranormal.
