I Want to Believe Podcast – S4 Bonus Episode | Maine Bigfoot Stories

Source: Bigfoot in Maine Book by Michelle Souliere

Music at the top and bottom of the episode: Sasquatch by Ice Cube

Welcome to a special bonus episode of the I Want to Believe podcast!

"And like a puzzle piece, they turn the memory over and over in their minds, trying to fit it into familiar boxes. ...and they are left holding that piece of memory, with nowhere to put it but in the back of their minds, where it continues to stand, alone and strange."

That is a quote from Michelle Souliere's new book Bigfoot in Maine. In celebration of Michelle's new book release, I'll be sharing some stories about this elusive beast.

Alright… let's start talking about Bigfoot! This is where you click that play button :)

Hot dang! Welcome to season 4 of the I Want to Believe podcast!

Well holy shit, 2020 am I right? I know it’s currently 2021, I say this because this podcast’s format is to write, record, and edit the entire season at the tail end of one year, and then release all episodes at the start of the new year. I’m recorded this particular episode on a late August night in 2020 and for me, our future as Americans couldn’t be more unknown but also AND ultimately… that future is up to us. Which may be just as equally terrifying as it is hopeful.

Oh, another thing before we dive in is that my co-host Kyle Sawyer is unavailable this season due to Covid. He’s fine, safe and healthy but lives upstate from me, which has piss-poor internet service and getting together in close proximity to record is undesirable, so as a result, we are unable to record together. Now, with that said, we do keep in touch as much as we can and he has agreed to a special phone appearance at some point during this season. So, you will hear from him on one of these upcoming episodes!

As usual, a quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are listed below. My brand-new book, Granite Skies: A Disconcerted Journey Through the Unknown is NOW AVAILABLE for purchase at The Green Hand Bookshop in Portland, Maine (and online). You can also get it on Amazon, Kindle or a personalized signed copy can be obtained from my online store. Everything can be found at allmylinks.com/slevik OR just click the link from the show notes. Alright… let’s get in to some UFOs and true “alienation”.

Olga Segura is a writer for the Guardian website and she wrote a piece about her father and his lifelong fascination with all things extraterrestrial. Which started with an encounter of his own. Olga wrote, “For my dad, a black teen growing up poor in the Dominican Republic, trying to learn everything he could about extraterrestrial life proved nearly impossible.

Listen to the episode to gain valuable insight from Olga's experiences with her father, a wacky UFO group, and tolerance.

Alright… lets talk about the abduction of Betty and Barney Hill.

A social worker and a postal employee walk into a boarding house…. While this could lend itself to a variant of the old “bar joke”, it is actually how Betty Barrett met Barney Hill. In short, Betty and Barney were a couple who claimed to have been abducted by extraterrestrials in a rural area of New Hampshire. This occurred between September 19 and 20, 1961. It was the first widely publicized report of an alien abduction in the United States.

Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast! Was Slender Man captured on camera in Canada in 2019… I’ll tell ya in a sec…

Alright… lets talk about Slender Man.

Slender Man is described as an entity that takes the form of a tall, thin humanoid figure with long limbs, wearing a business suit, and has a featureless face. Some Slender Man sightings present the creature with long tentacles, branches, or claws emerging from its back. Stories often cite that the Slender Man stalks victims of its choice, often driving them insane before stealing them away. The mythical creature is also said to steal away children and has many cults following it. The Slender Man is known to leave its victim’s organs in plastic bags hanging from trees. Despite all the fantastical stories and anecdotal evidence, some people believe that Slender Man exists.

Listen to the episode to find out Slender Man's origins, info about Tulpas, and if this odd entity was, in fact, captured on camera.

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S4 Episode 4 | The Christopher Davis Tragedy

Music at the top of the episode: The Lizard King by The Doors

Music at the end of the episode: Lee County Lizard Man by R. Logan

Welcome to the I Want to Believe podcast! Tragedy struck Sumter County South Carolina in December of 2009. Christopher Davis, original witness to the Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp, succumbed to gun shot wounds. I’ll tell ya the rest in a sec…

But first!! A quick reminder that ALL of our I Want to Believe social media & email are in the show notes.

The Lizard Man story actually had its beginnings before Davis’ sighting. One year prior, in 1987, a cyclist had stopped near the Scape Ore Swamp to have a smoke and drink from the area’s natural well. While there, the cyclist reported seeing a tall, humanoid creature. However, with Davis’ sighting and immediate reporting of it to local authorities, the fanfare really took off.

Listen to the full episode to hear about Christopher Davis, the Lizard Man, and the tragedy that struck Sumter County.

Alright… lets talk about the Franchi Stadium UFO.

It was on a crisp autumn day in Tuscany, Italy. The date was October 27, 1954 and the Fiorentina football club were playing against the local rivals the Pistoiese. Ten-thousand fans were watching in the concrete bowl of the Franchi Stadium. But just after half-time the stadium fell eerily silent - then a roar went up from the crowd. The spectators were no longer watching the match, but were looking up at the sky, fingers pointing. The players stopped playing, the ball rolled to a stand-still. Someone said, "We were astonished we had never seen anything like it before. We were absolutely shocked."

Listen to the episode for the full story.
