Special Guest Charlie Tompson

M. Charlie Thompson is a crypto-zoologist specializing in sasquatch.  He currently lives near the border of Alaska and the Yukon Territory and says that, “When most people hear of sasquatch, they usually think only of their local areas or the Pacific Northwest, however, Alaska has over a century of documented encounters with sasquatch and the oral history among Alaska’s native groups is even older.”   Thompson, who founded www.sasquatchtracker.com in 2006, has had an interest in sasquatch for almost 35 years. He first became interested in 1977 while living in Idaho.  Thompson was influenced by such popular Hollywood movies such as “Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot” and “The Legend of Boggy Creek”.  Thompson said that, “After seeing these types of movies as a kid, I’ve always had the thought in the back of my mind, that there really could be an unknown primate roaming the backcountry of North America that needed to be studied.”   Thompson, a Coast Guard veteran and the chief of the Alcan Rescue Squad, is also an enthusiastic hunter.  Thompson has combined his experience with search and rescue work with his love of the outdoors and applied it to tracking and track reading.    Although Thompson has never seen a sasquatch, he has personally found four different sets of tracks spanning over a nine year period and has heard tree-knocking sounds at night.    http://www.sasquatchtracker.com/about_us.html
