So there's this wild interview floating around YouTube over on the After Hours AM radio channel, and honestly, it's the kind of conversation that reminds you why the paranormal community is so much fun to be part of. Joel Sturgis, a paranormal writer and longtime researcher, sits down with host Britney for a "hot seat" style chat, and things get delightfully strange. Joel has been deep in this world since the early 90s, which puts him right in the thick of that golden era of paranormal curiosity. He grew up loving The Twilight Zone, In Search Of, and Sightings, and was that kid at the library checking out Hans Holzer, Brad Steiger, and the Warrens. Sound familiar? A lot of folks in this community have that exact origin story. But what really kicked things into high gear for Joel was a personal experience, a one-on-one encounter with what he believes was a deceased person, that convinced him this stuff was real and worth chasing. Before he became a full-time paranormal investigator and writer, Joel worked behind the scenes as a board operator for none other than Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM. Imagine getting paid to sit and listen to people share their strangest stories night after night. That kind of gig is basically a paranormal boot camp. But the part of the interview that really got me was a story Joel shared from his days hosting a late-night call-in radio show in the Dallas market back in the late 90s. No screener, no delay, just Joel, a phone line, and whatever came through. One night, a woman called in with what she described as a "complaint." Bigfoot had been in her house. Again. And not just in her house, but in her bathrobe. And not just in her bathrobe, but drinking milk straight out of the carton. Now, here's where it gets hilarious. The woman wasn't upset that a Sasquatch had broken into her home. She wasn't even that worked up about her missing bathrobe. What really set her off was the carton etiquette. She actually yelled at him about it. Bigfoot, we don't drink milk out of the carton in this house. We use glasses. His response? He threw the milk at her and bolted, taking the bathrobe with him. Never to be seen again. Joel admits that moment left him in stunned silence on live radio, trying to figure out what he had just heard. And honestly, who could blame him? It's the kind of story that perfectly captures why so many people hesitate to share their encounters. This woman clearly had a long-standing relationship with her local Sasquatch, one where he apparently visited often enough for her to have house rules ready, and she still felt the need to call a radio show to vent about it. The late 90s were a fascinating time for Sasquatch reports, especially in regions with dense woodland coverage. Texas, despite its reputation, has had its share of credible sightings over the years, and stories like this one, while clearly told with a heavy dose of humor, reflect the kind of casual coexistence some witnesses describe with these elusive beings. The idea that a Sasquatch might feel comfortable enough to enter a home, grab a bathrobe, and help themselves to the fridge is honestly more charming than terrifying, and it lines up with the more peaceful encounter stories that don't always make headlines. Joel wishes they had camera phones back then because, as he puts it, a photo of Bigfoot in a bathrobe would have been picture of the year anywhere. Can't argue with that one. If you haven't checked out the full interview yet, do yourself a favor and head over to YouTube to watch it. Joel has a ton of great stories, and the bathrobe incident alone is worth the listen. It's a reminder that the paranormal world isn't all serious investigations and spooky EVPs, sometimes it's just a lady trying to teach a Sasquatch some manners.
