When it comes to Bigfoot the Krantz name most often brings with it memories of the late Grover Krantz.

When it comes to Bigfoot research Grover was a pioneer and highly respected for his groundbreaking work. But there is another Krantz on the search for Bigfoot! Laura Krantz is turning her search for Sasquatch into a brand new Bigfoot podcast called “Wild Thing” that is sure to be a hit. Grover was her grandfather’s cousin and it seems like the love for the elusive creature is sort of in her blood as well. Her new podcast is a nine-part series and covers a wide range of topics.

According to Laura, her quest started back in 2006 after reading an article in the Washington Post about Grover Krantz. She wondered if she was possibly related to the legendary cryptozoologist and anthropologist. So she did a little research and just so happens she was related to him. She started to find more information about him which was often linked to Bigfoot. She decided to combine her family connection to the mysterious creature with her experience as a radio producer.

So she set out on a year-long expedition searching for Sasquatch and like-minded people in and around the Bigfoot community. She says her family ties to Grover helped to ease her entrance into the community even though she is a self-identified skeptic. Laura hit the Pacific Northwest a known Bigfoot hot spot in search of evidence that could prove the existence of the creature. She approached things from a scientific standpoint much like Grover had previously.

After talks with other researchers including wildlife biologist along with eyewitnesses hearing many stories of Bigfoot sightings, she felt the believability needle move she said in her LaTimes story. She was able to visit locations with rich Bigfoot history and even had access to a secret location in Washington’s Olympic Peninsula where nests are located many believe were made by the creature. This location has supplied hair samples many of which have yet to be connected to any known animals and could potentially be actual Bigfoot evidence.

When she first began this journey she saw Bigfoot mostly as tabloid fodder but now she said “Finishing it, I still don’t necessarily buy that Bigfoot is out there, but I’m a lot more open to the possibility of that than I was before. I certainly hope Bigfoot is out there.” For those of us interested in the subject and on our own bigfoot search and even for those somewhat more skeptical this seems like well worth a listen. Laura is definitely making Finding Bigfoot that much more entertaining.
