There is a Bigfoot presence lurking about northeast Pennsylvania thanks to pop culture: That includes a local country music station (Bigfoot Country 103.1), a website dedicated to sharing Sasquatch related stories, and even a podcast.
"Strange Familiars" podcast host and author Timothy Renner is a certifiable Bigfoot fanatic — he's written books on the burly beast including "When the Footprints End: Vols. 1 and 2," and "Bigfoot in Pennsylvania," and loves to discuss everything cryptid. This is not to say that he jumps to the conclusion that Bigfoot is a paranormal creature; he tends to err on the side of caution, employing proper research, interviews, and, when it's available, evidence.
Renner's wife Alison, on the other hand, was a "huge skeptic." That is, until she saw something that became a cornerstone of Sasquatch lore in their very home: "the Flannel Man," a lumberjack-like entity they say appeared at the foot of their bed one night.
After introducing the experience on his podcast, Renner began hearing suspiciously similar tales from fans.
"I started getting people from all over contacting me: 'I've seen this guy too,' 'I've seen this guy too.' We soon realized that this was a very much a thing that people were seeing. It doesn't appear to be the same fellow, but they're seeing entities in flannel shirts. And then I started getting people telling me things like, 'Hey, I was out driving and I saw this guy in a flannel shirt. He was acting really weird. And then I drove down the road and saw Bigfoot.'"
