In this episode, we delve into the experiences of Tami Grimes from Florida, a Bigfoot researcher and board member of the North American Wood Ape Conservancy. Tami shares the childhood encounter that stayed with her for decades after she saw a massive creature outside her bedroom window near the Green Swamp of central Florida. That moment quietly shaped the path that eventually led her into the world of Sasquatch research.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now actively involved in ongoing investigations, Tami discusses the work being done by NAWAC researchers and the long-term study taking place in the Ouachita Mountains of southeast Oklahoma at a location known as Area X. She shares details about unusual vocalizations echoing through the valley, investigators hearing something breathing just yards away in the darkness, and activity that continues to unfold around camp during research operations.<br /><br /><br /><br />Along the way, Tami talks about the scientific approach behind the organization’s mission, the intelligence these animals seem to display, and why the deeper researchers go into the woods, the more complex the mystery becomes. From Florida swamps to the rugged mountains of Oklahoma, this conversation offers a fascinating look into the ongoing effort to understand one of the most elusive creatures said to inhabit North America.<br /><br /><br /><br />Join us as we explore Tami’s journey, the research happening at Area X, and the encounters that keep investigators returning to the woods.<br /><br />Resources:<br /><br /><a href="https://www.woodape.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.woodape.org</a><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/noamwoodape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.facebook.com/noamwoodape</a><br /><a href="https://www.sasquatchscience.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.sasquatchscience.org/</a><br /><br /><br /><br />🗣️ <b>Share Your Story</b><br /><br />Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?<br />Send it to [email protected] – your story might be featured on the show!<br /><br />🎥 <b>Watch &amp; Subscribe on YouTube</b><br /><br />🔴 Subscribe here → <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@BigfootSociety?sub_confirmation=1" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bigfoot Society YouTube</a><br />💬 Leave a comment &amp; let us know your thoughts!<br />📞 Leave a voicemail with your story → <a href="https://www.speakpipe.com/bigfootsociety" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Speakpipe</a> (Use multiple voicemails if needed)<br />👥 Share this episode → <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5v75Od-X38" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Watch &amp; Share</a><br />🎧 More episodes → <a href="https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-MGeHs0XglFJE5LwUHpmJm_&amp;feature=shared" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Podcast Playlist</a><br />🌲 Recommended: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3t1vwtsKh-Mk4032IyZtWgP6LVPU8uat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New Jersey Bigfoot Encounters</a><br /><br />💥 <b>Support the Show &amp; Get Perks</b><br /><br />✅ Join the community on <b>Supercast</b> – <a href="https://bigfootsociety.supercast.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Become a Member</a><br />✅ Listen ad-free &amp; early on <b>YouTube</b> – <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8Qq45W6iaTU8FE9kelxT7Q/join" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join Here</a><br /><br /><b>📱 Let’s Connect</b><br /><ul><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bigfootsociety/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bigfootsociety</a></li><li>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/bigfoot_society" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bigfoot_society</a></li><li>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@bigfoot.society" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@bigfoot.society</a></li></ul>🧰 <b>Tools &amp; Partners I Use (Affiliate Links)</b><br />These help support the show at no extra cost to you:<br /><ul><li><b>Beam (Better Sleep):</b> <a href="https://share.shopbeam.com/hnpc4ype" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Try Beam</a></li><li><b>Wildgrain (Better Bread):</b> <a href="https://wildgrain.com/a/refer-a-friend/redeem/6ogi3frocb2zwtbx8gx8lksvnpgb6tnxbhqlhfk2/8487" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join Here</a></li><li><b>Seed (Probiotics):</b> <a href="https://refer.seed.com/x/JQ3nHF" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Get Seed</a></li><li><b>Medi-Share (Healthcare):</b> <a href="https://bit.ly/4iHULko" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Learn More</a></li><li><b>LMNT (Electrolytes)</b> Free Sample Pack with your first purchase!
