The Hunt for Bigfoot Part 3: With the help of renowned cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard, the team explores the mythology of Bigfoot in terms of how it relates to people, and its habitat. Why is Bigfoot hard to find? What makes it the Hide and Seek Champion of the Universe? Where do they live, and how do they mark their territory? These are the questions Jason Hewlett, Sarah Jane, and Chris Bose attempt to answer, with Gerhard’s help, setting the stage for one final hunt... in the woods… at night! Writer/director statement: This episode wasn’t part of the original plan for our Hunt for Bigfoot episodes. Once we started venturing into the woods, and began compiling footage, we realized we’d stumbled across something we hadn’t anticipated finding – possible Bigfoot shelters and territorial markings! Having Ken Gerhard on hand to help explain things adds a lot to the episode, and it’s one of the best of this series, in my biased opinion. Here's some pics from the latest episode: Renowned cr...

Acclaimed paranormal podcaster Shannon LeGro and renowned cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard provide background research and insight in this episode, which follows the We Want to Believe team on an expedition to a remote lake. Guided by an avid outdoorsman who’s experienced wood knocks at the location year after year, Jason, Shawn and Marcus hope to capture evidence of Bigfoot communication on film. Along the way they must contend with dense forest, leaky boats, and a potential encounter with the creature itself! Writer/director statement: I’ve enjoyed every investigation We Want to Believe has been on, but I don’t think any of them has been this much fun to film. A long, slow drive up a mountain to the middle of nowhere, a tough trek through mud and bugs to a remote lake, and then trying not to drown while boating to the alleged spot where the wood knocks were heard. This was an absolute blast to shoot! And to have Shannon and Ken provide background on the phenomena was icing on the cake. ...

The wait is over! It's time for the podcast version of last night's epic radio broadcast... From The Basement! We acknowledge the wait was less than 24 hours, but for some, that could've felt like a lifetime... Back to the business at hand; we've got our full 15-minute interview with author and renowned cryptozoologist Ken Gerhard. We talk his latest book, The Essential Guide to Bigfoot, discuss Bigfoot lore and how Ken got into monster hunting. And we touch on the Loch Ness Monster and Ogopogo. What does Ken think these creatures actually are? Stick with us! But that's not all! We review a pair of new releases to help navigate your streaming time. The first is Netflix's Dark Light from writer/director Padraig Reynolds. Is this tale of a mother and daughter battling mysterious creatures at a rural home worth the watch? Maybe, maybe not. Perhaps you want something with a little action? Then Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids could be more your speed. It...

Have you ever wondered about the existence of Bigfoot? How about Ogopogo and the Loch Ness Monster? Take that one step further; have you ever considered dedicating your life to investigating these creatures, in hope of finding out if they truly exist? That's what Ken Gerhard did, and he's made a name for himself as an author and cryptozoologist. He's written a new book on the subject of Bigfoot, and The Basement Boys are gonna tell you all about it when From The Basement returns to the mighty Radio NL 610 AM airwaves tonight at 6:05! Ken is an interesting guy, and he and Jason touch on the new book, The Essential Guide to Bigfoot, as well as why Ken embarked on this unique and interesting life of hunting monsters. But we're not just about monsters here in The Basement, and Jason and Shawn have a couple of movies they've put on the chopping block this week. One is the creature feature Dark Light from writer/director Padraig Reynolds. The other is a martial ar...

Long-time fans know Shawn and I are almost as excited about ghosts, monsters and other high strangeness as we are about movies. So when we can bridge the world of the supernatural with the world of entertainment, we do so with glee. Macho, heavy metal glee... but glee nonetheless! I just got off the line with Ken Gerhard, a widely recognized cryptozoologist and author who's penned several books on the subject. He's also appeared on a wide range of TV shows and radio broadcasts, including Coast to Coast AM, Weird or What? with William Shatner, and Monsters and Mysteries in American. Ken has written a new book, The Essential Guide to Bigfoot, so he and I dove into that, and I picked his brain for ideas on what Bigfoot could be. We also got on the subject of other mysteries and monsters, and had a blast discussing this fascinating subject. We can't wait for Basement Dwellers to hear it, and hear it you shall next Friday, April 17 -- only on Radio NL 610 AM Kamloops! ...
