Expedition Bigfoot: David Bakara
About this Episode
In this episode, Brian sits down with David Bakara, owner of the Expedition Bigfoot Museum in Blue Ridge, Georgia, for a wide-ranging conversation about Bigfoot research, witness testimony, and the strange territory where cryptid investigation meets the unexplained. David shares how his interest in the subject began with Florida Skunk Ape reports and eventually led him into the field, including his work with the BFRO after a birthday expedition that changed the direction of his life.
David reflects on early experiences that shaped his curiosity, including a childhood incident in Michigan involving something violently pounding on his family’s home. He also recounts a compelling Florida investigation where he, his wife, and a witness observed two mysterious figures on thermal imaging, adding another layer to the ongoing question of what people are encountering in the woods. The conversation explores why so many witnesses remain silent for years, often waiting until they find someone they trust enough to hear their story without ridicule.
From there, David and Brian move into some of the more unusual reports connected to Bigfoot and other cryptid encounters, including claims of sudden freezing sensations, glowing eyes, spider-like movement, disappearances, mind speak, and even shape-shifting accounts. David also discusses several Dogman reports, including a daylight vehicle collision and another account involving a creature running alongside a car, raising larger questions about whether these encounters point to something beyond the physical world we understand.
Brian and David also dive into the ongoing Patterson-Gimlin film debate, with David explaining why he still leans toward the film’s authenticity while questioning whether recent controversy may be driven as much by documentary politics as by evidence.
The episode closes with David sharing more about the Expedition Bigfoot Museum, its mission to preserve witness accounts and research history, and why it remains a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Sasquatch, Dogman, and the mysteries of the unseen world.
