Lon Strickler Discusses Bigfoot Cases and Cryptid Investigations

Lon Strickler has been chasing monsters since he was 9 years old. That's the kind of dedication you don't see every day in the paranormal world. A recent interview on Spaced Out Radio with host Dave Scott dives deep into Lon's life work investigating Bigfoot, Dog Man, winged humanoids, UFOs, and just about every other unexplained phenomenon you can think of. As the founder of Phantoms and Monsters, Lon has built one of the largest archives of eyewitness reports on the internet, working directly with people who've had experiences most wouldn't dare talk about. What hits you right away in this conversation is how humble Lon remains about it all. He talks about the synchronicities that have shaped his path, the people who've trusted him with their stories, and why he still gets excited when something completely unexpected shows up in his inbox. After decades of doing this, he says there's always something new that grabs his attention. The interview covers a lot of ground. Lon explains how he helps people who've had encounters, especially those who've been suffering in silence. Sometimes just being believed is the first step. He also touches on why keeping an open mind matters, from bipedal creatures in the woods to things with wings that defy explanation. For anyone who's ever had a sighting and didn't know who to tell, or for researchers looking to understand how a seasoned investigator approaches this work, this is worth your time. Lon doesn't fit reports into neat little boxes. He listens, documents, and digs deeper. The show also mentions Caribou Con, happening September 18-20 in central British Columbia. Sounds like a great gathering for anyone serious about Sasquatch research. Check out the full interview on the Spaced Out Radio YouTube channel. It's a long one, but Lon's stories about the cases he's worked are absolutely fascinating.
