19: The Language of the Forest: Bigfoot Signs, Sightings and the Paranormal with Rick Reles
This week on Dark Florida, I’m joined by someone I’ve had the honor of squatching with in the field—Rick Reles, BFRO investigator, author, musician, and lifelong seeker of the unknown 👣🌲
Rick shares the story of the roadside Bigfoot encounter that started it all, his experiences leading expeditions, and what he’s learned from years of boots-on-the-ground research. We also dive into the fascinating (and often misunderstood) world of stick structures—could they be more than just random wood formations? Are they signs? Markers? Warnings? 🌀🌿
We also touch on the big question… does Bigfoot ever cross over into the paranormal?
You’ll also hear about Rick’s awesome book Field Guide to Bigfoot Stick Structures 📖 (now in its 4th edition!), his music project Just Rick 🎶, and the merch he’s creating with IKNOWSQUATCH.
Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or Bigfoot-curious, this episode will have you looking at the woods a little differently…
