Bigfoot Experience

Past event
Aug 1, 2023, 6 to 7 PM

Join Producer, Lead Investigator, and New Jersey Native Mike Familant as he shares his experiences researching and tracking down the truth behind North America's most iconic cryptid, Bigfoot. Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Grassman, Skunk Ape, or Big Red Eye, whatever name you choose to call this large, bipedal hominid, Mike has probably tried to track it down.

Mike has been researching this amazing creature for over 12 years and has captured some impressive evidence along the way.  From the Florida Swamps to the North Country of Maine and everywhere in between, Mike is the full-time, lead investigator and producer of the show, "In the Shadow of Big Red Eye."He will exhibit some extraordinary evidence backed by facts that he and his team have collected throughout his journey, along with some of the unfortunate experiences which come along with Bigfooting.   A Q& A session will be held after the presentation and Mike will be available after for photographs and autographs. See all of Mike's shows, including his docuseries "Squatchables" (how to get into Bigfooting) on his YouTube Channel, "Sussex County Bigfoot," and follow his Facebook page "In the Shadow of Big Red Eye" to keep up with the team's expeditions and to see their newest evidence.

Mike Familant, a 33-year-old EMT, firefighter, and graphic designer is a full-time Bigfoot researcher, producer, and lead investigator from NorthWest New Jersey. He first got into bigfooting in 2011 on an expedition in North Florida, where he and a friend experienced rocks being thrown at them while sitting around a campfire. Since then, he has made it his personal goal to find out exactly what is roaming the woods of America.In 2016, after becoming frustrated with the lack of true research expedition shows on TV, he created his own show, called "In the Shadow of Big Red Eye ." The show is currently filming its 7th season In 2018,

Mike also created a docuseries called "Squatchables "which was created for people who are just getting into bigfooting, sort of a "Bigfooting 101."With a passion for bigfooting and a history in video editing, I decided to make the first REAL show about what expeditions are truly about. You will see RAW and UNCUT footage of what bigfooting actually is. If there is one thing I hope people gain from this show, is for families and friends to get off the couch and outside into nature to explore what this amazing world has to offer," says Mike.
