đ E130 Do You Believe in Bigfoot with Jim Myers of The Sasquatch Outpost - The Johnny King Show
Description:
What if the creature you've dismissed as myth is actually hiding in plain sightâand the person trying to convince you isn't a fringe enthusiast, but a former missionary with decades of global experience and a museum full of evidence?
Jim Myers is not who you'd expect to be America's foremost Bigfoot evangelist. Born in Kenya to missionary parents, fluent in French, Swahili, and Wolof, Myers has traveled to over 45 countries and spent two decades living in West Africa and France . He's a Christian who says it takes more faith to believe in God than in Bigfoot . And he owns the Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey, Coloradoâone of only seven Bigfoot museums in the country .
But this isn't just a collection of quirky memorabilia. It's a serious investigation.
In this episode of The Johnny King Show, host Johnny King sits down with Myers inside his Bigfoot museum for a conversation that spans decades of research, thousands of witness testimonies, and evidence that challenges everything you thought you knew about the legendary creature .
The Evidence That Changed Everything
Myers' journey began in 1972 when, at ten years old, he saw "The Legend of Boggy Creek" . The seed was planted. But it wasn't until he moved to Colorado in 2009 and met a local eyewitness that he became fully convinced .
Since opening the Sasquatch Outpost in 2015âconverted from a failing grocery store after realizing more people wanted to talk about Bigfoot than buy breadâMyers has welcomed over 90,000 visitors from more than 60 countries . Each visitor who claims an encounter must convince Myers in person before placing a pin on his map: red for visual sightings, black for footprints, blue for thrown rocks, green for vocalizations, yellow for twisted trees .
And those stories? They changed his wife Daphne's mind. She wasn't a believer until she heard, face-to-face, from "totally normal, rational people" who had nothing to gain from lying .
The Tremendous Turd and Other Curiosities
The museum houses what Myers calls "the tremendous turd"âa 48-inch piece of feces found ten miles from Bailey that he believes couldn't come from anything but Sasquatch . There are footprint castings with consistent morphology across thousands of samples . There's the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film footage, still considered the most solid evidence of Bigfoot's existence . There are recordings of haunting howls and tree structures twisted in ways that "you can't attribute to a bear or a raccoon" .
And then there's "The Boss"âa motion-activated animatronic Sasquatch that growls at visitors from behind real aspen trees .
The DNA Question
Myers discusses the controversial 2013 Ketchum study (the Sasquatch Genome Project), which found that submitted Bigfoot DNA samples had mitochondrial DNA that was human on the female side and unknown on the male sideâsuggesting Sasquatch may be some kind of human hybrid .
Paranormal or Primate?
Like many serious researchers, Myers leans toward the interdimensional theory. He's seen single tracks in snow that begin and end with no logical explanation. He's seen glowing eyes at night. He's experienced the sudden silence, the feeling of being watched, the rocks thrown at tents . His collaborator, filmmaker Alan Megargle, describes an "alien portal located in a Native American sacred tree" near Bailey .
"When some of these experiences happen, you feel like you're in the presence of an animal, but there's something else happening," Megargle explains. "A white orb. A strange flash of light in the sky"Â .
The Hoax Problem
Myers is ruthlessly skeptical of obvious hoaxesâlike the 2023 Durango train video that went viral, which he flatly called "a man in a Bigfoot suit"Â . "If you do that, then you have no credibility with people"Â .
But the genuine encounters? The ones from people with nothing to gain? Those keep him searching.
Do You Believe?
At the museum exit, visitors place tokens into boxes labeled "Yes," "No," or "Maybe." Myers stopped counting years ago. He knows his truth .
Johnny King, a self-described skeptic with a "wounded inner child" who needed something to believe in after Santa and the tooth fairy, sits down with Myers in his elementâthe Bigfoot museum just an hour from Denver . The result is a conversation that moves from laughter to awe, from skepticism to wonder.
đČ Some things just take faith. The question isn't whether Bigfoot exists. It's whether you're willing to ask the questions.
