Summary
First Energy's involvement in a significant corruption scandal in Ohio is highlighted, with John Husted at the center of the controversy. Allegations suggest that First Energy made a secret million-dollar payment to Husted's campaign, which facilitated a billion-dollar bailout for the company. As a result, utility bills for Ohio residents surged by 62%. Amy Acton, a gubernatorial candidate, emphasizes her commitment to addressing this corruption, promising to lower costs and cut taxes if elected.
The conversation shifts to Greg Long, an author and researcher, who discusses his investigative work surrounding the Patterson-Gimlin film, a pivotal piece of Bigfoot lore. Long recounts how his interest in the film began after moving to Washington and how he uncovered various testimonies that challenge the authenticity of the film. He details interviews with key figures, including Bob Hieronymus, who claims to have worn the Bigfoot suit. Long's research culminates in his book, "The Making of Bigfoot," where he presents evidence suggesting that the film was a hoax rather than a genuine encounter with the mythical creature.
Show Notes
Brian welcomes author and researcher Greg Long to Sasquatch Odyssey for a revealing conversation about his book, The Making of Bigfoot, and the investigation that led him to challenge the Patterson–Gimlin film.Greg traces his research through Yakima and Tampico, Washington, where interviews led him to Bob Heironimus—the man who told Greg he wore the Bigfoot suit.
He shares accounts from Heironimus’s family and other witnesses who reported seeing the costume in a blue Buick, alongside recollections of Roger Patterson that describe a creative man whose honesty those witnesses questioned. The conversation tackles some of the film’s most disputed details: uncertainty surrounding the shooting date, questions about the rapid film-processing timeline, and costume claims involving Philip Morris.
Greg also discusses Clint Patterson’s claim that the suit was later burned, newly discovered footage connected to Norm Johnson’s Boeing lab, and a possible link to Dave Johnson.
With the documentary Capturing Bigfoot bringing these questions back into focus, Brian and Greg examine the testimony, competing accounts, and unresolved details behind one of the most famous pieces of footage ever recorded.
Greg lays out his case for a hoax and encourages listeners to read his book, watch the documentary, and weigh the evidence for themselves.

After landing his float-equipped Piper Super Cub, Stanley felt an overwhelming sense that he was being watched.

In the winter of 1950, Thomas finally crossed a boundary his father had warned him never to cross. Deep in the mountains of north Georgia, on a remote section of the family's 80-acre property, he ventured into an area Will had marked on an old map with three chilling words: DO NOT GO HERE.
