Nite Callers was pretty terrific, with guest Bill Bean, who discussed such things as politics and the belief that President Obama is the Anti-Christ, spirits such as dark entities and fleeting glimpses of dark manifestations and other spiritual matters. I called in and asked Bill about the Sasquatch and implications of it possibly being a demonic manifestation, the mention of the possibility of Sasquatch in the Bible and other subjects. Bill answered questions very well and did a great job. Dunno what Laurie, Lauren and Luke have planned for next week, but it begins at 7:00 EST/6:00 Central. And as always, we encourage you to please tune in and support great research.

Pretty good Monsterquest episode tonight, 4 out of 5 stars. A few highlights:
Reinhold Messner-describes Yeti legends, believes it is a bear
Peter Byrne-gives description of Yeti
Loren Coleman-gives history of Yeti
The Lapkha Dohma story is recounted, where she was allegedly attacked by a Yeti
Adam Davies-leads an expedition into the Himalayas to find evidence
The Yeti is described as 8 feet tall, covered in grey hair and can kill a yak with one blow
Dr. Ian Redmond, a leading expert into apes and gorillas, accompanies the expedition team
The team is going to Mount Dhaulagiri, where some of the most recent tracks have been found
A fellow named Mick Paul is also with the expedition
They are going to a camp at almost 15,000 feet
They are rigging a camera to a helium balloon which they will fly over the ridges to see any animals or wildlife
The climb is pretty steep, and 90-degree weather does not help
They decide to stay by the river for the trek
Peter Byrne is interviewed about the backstory and history of the Yeti and his involvement in it
Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the top of Mount Everest, and they found tracks
The Eric Shipton photograph of a track is also profiled
Tom Slick entered the scene in the '50's and sponsored several expeditions, including with Peter Byrne
Hairs collected 50 years ago are being examined, hairs from Tom Slick's expeditions
Dr. Redmond believes that the Yeti lives at the lower elevations and not in the higher snowfields
There appears to be a front coming in which could hamper the efforts of the expedition, who is already having to ascend a place where the trail has collapsed
A woman tells of her husband's terrifying encounter with a Yeti years ago
The storm seems to be moving in, and the team seems to be hurrying to beat the weather
The team sets up camp and decides to wait till the storm passes
Davies and Redmond go and explore a ravine where the Yeti has recently been seen. Redmond finds all sorts of interesting food sources that could sustain a creature such as a Yeti
The team is camped at 11,000 feet, and could be at risk for altitude sickness
At that altitude, strange screams have been heard
A large part of the expedition team is asked to go down the mountain, because it is felt that a smaller team has a better chance to perhaps have an encounter
Davies and the team is attempting to get to the altitude where a team in 2008 found tracks
5-inch footprints have been found at nearly 12,000 feet
Davies and Paul speculate on whether or not it could be a bear track
Messner is quite skeptical of the existence of the Yeti
Messner believes the Yeti is the Himalayan Brown Bear
A wildlife Biologist also believes that bears can be mistaken for Yetis
The team continues their trek, and comes up with... well, I won't spoil it for anyone
Very interesting episode
