DVD Review: Western Bigfoot Society Meeting 1992 with Peter Byrne

This was a bonus disc which came with a newly repackaged version of Shaawanoki, the award-winning DVD from Ronnie Roseman and Peter Byrne and Andreas Wallach, and it is very important historically and terrific. Byrne is filmed at a 1992 Western Bigfoot Society meeting giving his background into his research and he admits right at the start that he is no expert on Bigfoot, which is great to hear. After a brief background into his research, he takes audience questions and tells some fascinating stories of his exploits, including the fascinating story of how he smuggled the Pangboche hand's finger out of Nepal thanks to Jimmy and Gloria Stewart. Byrne also recounts the shooting of the Unsolved Mysteries segment he was involved with on the Yeti and shares an amusing anecdote on that. He talks quite a bit about his association with Tom Slick as well, and shares some fascinating stories of his association with Slick. At that time, Byrne was just beginning the Bigfoot Research Project and discussed that a bit as well. All in all, a fascinating look at a true pioneer of Bigfoot research, and an important piece of history. Highly recommended.
