Join us this week as discuss Champ research and other water cryptids with Scott Mardis and Bill Dranginis, both members of the Brite Yellow Champ Camp Research Team. Scott is one of the leading researchers into the mystery of the creature named Champ from Lake Champlain. He is a specialist in paleontology and has been a valuable volunteer contributor to the Vertebrate Paleontology Department of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. Scott starred on the first episode of Monster Quest, has led many expeditions for the creature, had a possible sighting in Vermont in 1994 when his interest in cryptozoology began, and even moved to the area for quite some time in order to concentrate on his research into the creature. He also runs a Facebook group named Zombie Plesiosaur Society. Bill brings a wealth of technology knowledge to the Brite Yellow team as a surveillance and security expert that has worked with the government for many years. As an engineer and technology developer, Bill is able to create custom equipment for any situation or research endeavor. Bill is also a well-respected cryptozoology researcher and lecturer with many years devoted to the search for more information about the existence of Bigfoot and lake monsters. His interest in the world of cryptozoology began after an unexplained cryptid encounter he had in Virginia 19 years ago.
