I lived in northern Illinois most of my life and never heard of the Beast of Bray Road. I just watched the hour documentary and now I will never be able to drive the backroads of southern Wisconsin again! Terrifying!
So the 'feral human' idea for Big Foot strikes me as very unlikely. We have groups of humans who live in the Amazon with little or no human contact. They are not impossible to find and still live in a way that is recognizable to us as normal (huts, homes, cooking, child rearing etc). BUT the idea may work if you moved away from assuming a 'breeding population'. What if periodically some humans 'go feral'? Mostly men who go into the woods and don't actually last very long before they die. Perhaps it's mental illness, some type of stroke or brain damage. The few times they are encountered they look and smell horrible. When they die (which they do rather quickly since they do not really possess the ability to live in the wild), their bodies will either never be found or if it's years later just be a skeleton of a person who 'went missing'. The population is not replenished by breeding but simply by it happening every now and then in our population of millions of people.
As Mitch Hedberg says, "I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. There's a large out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside.”
😂 I loved Mitch Hedberg!
These daily starter kits are fantastic!
I never thought there was such a genre! Thanks Steve
Your rationality is always refreshing!
Wonderful! Love this one too Steve!

This is an amazing starter kit.
Steve, I have a feeling you and Fox Mulder wouldn't have gotten along.
But you skipped the most important cryptic: Meg, the megalodon in the Marianas. 😆
Hah! I did indeed skip my beloved MEG! I guess a Shark Starter Kit is in order, yes?
@@saintdonoghue I second, third, and fourth a shark starter kit!
Can Bigfoot be an out law dressing as the so called Bigfoot?

Well that's just fascinating! I don't think I've ever heard quite that twist on things - very, very interesting!
