6/18/24: A CLOSE SHAVE WITH BIGFOOT W/ TONY MERKEL

The study of cryptids has always been downplayed as a field where investigators are out to find a creature that might exist. Some experts also investigate the possibility that some of these cryptozoological creatures are supernatural or are the product of some rogue manifestation. A recent movie titled, Sasquatch and the Missing Man, shows individuals describing their harrowing encounters with Bigfoot while leaving an indelible impression on them. Those who come in contact with this mythological monster certainly feel they are in an apex predator’s crosshairs and their lives are forever changed. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10 pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks with filmmaker and host of “The Confessionals,” Tony Merkel about A CLOSE SHAVE WITH BIGFOOT.
