This week , Mark and Stephen revisit the legendary 1972 film The Legend of Boggy Creek, the movie that put the mysterious Fouke Monster on the map. We’ve both watched it again, and we’re talking about the strange sightings, the witnesses, the monster, the wonderfully creepy and sometimes downright funny 1970s soundtrack, and what still holds up more than 50 years later. Think Mayberry meets Bigfoot with a whole lot of swamp in between.
Before co-hosting The Dark Canyon Chronicles, Stephen hosted a paranormal radio show in the Seattle area called The Other Side Chronicles. His fascination with the unexplained began while roaming the haunted hollers of the Ozark Mountains in southern Missourah or Missouri, as the northerners call it. There, old folk tales weren’t just stories told to scare children but as he grew older, Stephen began to discover that many of those yarns were rooted in real events, and in time, he found himself experiencing some of them firsthand.
Mark Little has lived here in Southwest Colorado since 2002. His love of mysterious beings and Unknown Phenomena began way back around age 5 in the hills and hollers of the Eastern Ozarks (Mizz er ah'). Watching lights zigging and zagging in the night sky set Mark on a path of curiosity, fear, excitement, and awe. He loves myths and legends related to the Natural World. When not at work, Mark can be found hiking, looking under rocks, taking pictures, reading, telling stories, looking up at the night sky, and hanging out with his family of cats.
