Gene and special guest cohost Bob Zanotti present veteran outdoorsman and author Steve Stockton, who has been investigating the unexplained for over 35 years. Originally from the mountains of East Tennessee, Steve has traveled all over the country and many parts of the world and now makes his home in Portland, Oregon, near the wilds and “bigfoot country” of the Pacific Northwest. Steve cites as his influences his “gypsy witch” grandmother who told him multitudes of legends and stories as a small child, as well as authors such as Frank Edwards, John Keel, Charles Fort, Loren Coleman, Ivan Sanderson, Colin Wilson and Nick Redfern. His published books include “Strange Things in the Woods” and “More Strange Things in the Woods” as well as the autobiographical “My Strange World,” where he talks about his own experiences dating back to childhood, and “National Park Mysteries and Disappearances” Vols. 1, 2, and 3. He is currently at work on a book of ghost stories and also a book about myths and legends of the Great Smoky Mountains.
