About this episode
Eli Watson is a filmmaker, podcaster, and storyteller from Temecula, California, whose work explores the edges of folklore, mystery, and belief. A director, editor, and producer, Eli is best known for his series Bigfoot: The Road to Discovery, a multi-part exploration of the cultural and personal significance of Sasquatch, blending investigative filmmaking with a cinematic eye.
After earning his B.A. in Screenwriting from California State University, Long Beach, Eli became an integral part of Small Town Monsters, where since 2021 he has produced a wide slate of documentaries ranging from UFO encounters to Sasquatch legends. His credits with STM include projects such as On the Trail of Bigfoot: Land of the Missing and On the Trail of UFOs: Night Visitors, where his skills as both a storyteller and craftsman have helped shape the look and feel of the films.
Beyond film, Eli is the co-creator and host of Cryptid Campfire, a long-running podcast that has reached thousands of listeners with conversations on folklore, cryptids, and the unexplained. His work consistently bridges entertainment and research, offering audiences both gripping stories and a sincere curiosity about the unknown.
Eli returns to Talking Weird to chat about his brand new documentary: THE SIEGE OF APE CANYON.
This fantastic film examines one of the central narratives of Bigfoot lore: the tale of a group of Sasquatches attacking a mining camp on the side of Mount St. Helens. It follows the incredible research of Marc Myrsell, the investigator who rediscovered the site of the miner's cabin, almost 100 years after the legendary attack.
