This (short) audiobook is about an encounter I had with the creature commonly known as Bigfoot in a remote northern part of California state in 2003. Before that night, I thought Bigfoot a remote possibility. I also thought I had a good marriage, confidence in all areas of my life, and never thought it possible to wet myself in fear - and not realize I was doing it when it happened. That night changed me profoundly and in ways I never thought possible. Think twice before you go looking for the giant, wild, hairy man, because you might just find him.

What if Bigfoot is not a zoological mystery, but an anthropological one? For more than a century, reports of large, upright, human-like figures have emerged from forests across the world. They appear briefly, avoid contact, leave little evidence, and vanish before certainty can form. Popular culture has treated these accounts as entertainment, folklore, or hoax. Science has largely dismissed them for lack of proof. The Anthropology of Bigfoot takes a different approach. Rather than asking whether Bigfoot can be proven, this book asks whether the question itself has been misunderstood.

My grandfather was the last person in the world I would have ever expected to hear a story about a personal encounter with Bigfoot. He was a serious man and for him to discuss this ancient & controversial knowledge so openly was astounding. He wasn't mean or abusive, but he had no time for silliness. He never wasted time on unexplained mysteries or folklore. He grew up in an era and in circumstances where silliness was "for women, children, and the mentally insufficient".
