Thanks to depictions like the 1987 hit film, Harry and the Hendersons, we tend to limit sasquatch sightings to the dense rainforest of the Pacific Northwest.  But with over 27.8 million hectares of forest in and around the Great Lakes, could this not make for a perfect Bigfoot vacation destination?  In this episode, Derik Hyatt deviates from the topic of surfing to investigate whether or not sasquatch might be watching you surf at those heavily wooded surf spots on the Great Lakes.  We chat with Olin Fruetel of Great Lake Sasquatch about Great Lakes sightings, his own personal experiences, common threads across encounters, the trauma and recovery process of seeing a sasquatch, surfing sasquatch and sasquatch theories, including the idea that sasquatch are waiting for COVID-19 to destroy the human race so that they may roam more freely!?!?

Be sure to connect with Olin on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/greatlakessasquatch/ or @greatlakessasquatch and don’t forget to read CBC’s Sasquatch reports wanted: new group collecting sightings from Thunder Bay region at https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/thunder-bay/great-lakes-sasquatch-1.5231576.  This episode was recorded on December 9, 2020.  It is family friendly with minimal swearing, but no F-bombs.
