? E130 Do You Believe in Bigfoot with Jim Myers of The Sasquatch Outpost - The Johnny King Show
Description:
What if the creature you've dismissed as myth is actually hiding in plain sight—and the person trying to convince you isn't a fringe enthusiast, but a former missionary with decades of global experience and a museum full of evidence?
Jim Myers is not who you'd expect to be America's foremost Bigfoot evangelist. Born in Kenya to missionary parents, fluent in French, Swahili, and Wolof, Myers has traveled to over 45 countries and spent two decades living in West Africa and France . He's a Christian who says it takes more faith to believe in God than in Bigfoot . And he owns the Sasquatch Outpost in Bailey, Colorado—one of only seven Bigfoot museums in the country .
But this isn't just a collection of quirky memorabilia. It's a serious investigation.
In this episode of The Johnny King Show, host Johnny King sits down with Myers inside his Bigfoot museum for a conversation that spans decades of research, thousands of witness testimonies, and evidence that challenges everything you thought you knew about the legendary creature .

Each visitor who claims an encounter must convince Myers in person before placing a pin on his map: red for visual sightings, black for footprints, blue for thrown rocks, green for vocalizations, yellow for twisted trees .
And those stories? They changed his wife Daphne's mind. She wasn't a believer until she heard, face-to-face, from "totally normal, rational people" who had nothing to gain from lying .
The Tremendous Turd and Other Curiosities
The museum houses what Myers calls "the tremendous turd"—a 48-inch piece of feces found ten miles from Bailey that he believes couldn't come from anything but Sasquatch . There are footprint castings with consistent morphology across thousands of samples . There's the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film footage, still considered the most solid evidence of Bigfoot's existence . There are recordings of haunting howls and tree structures twisted in ways that "you can't attribu
