Woody Watts is the host of *Bigfoot Classified*, where he explores conspiracy theories about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti.

Woody’s approach to both his podcast and business reflects his passion for storytelling and the unknown, offering a unique perspective that connects his enthusiasm for Bigfoot with his everyday work.

Daniel J. Benoit, founder and researcher at the East Coast Bigfoot Researchers Organization (E.C.B.R.O.), is a dedicated cryptozoologist with a lifelong passion for wildlife. His fascination with Bigfoot ignited after viewing the Patterson-Gimlin film in 2010, leading him to combine his outdoor knowledge with Bigfoot research. Daniel’s fieldwork across the East Coast has included significant sightings and data collection. He educates the public through lectures, documentaries, and his podcast, ECBRO Bigfoot Radio.

Michael W. Cook is a seasoned Bigfoot researcher with 22 years of experience in the field. In addition to his research, he is the proud owner of SossSquatch BBQ sauce, a brand that reflects his passion for Bigfoot and barbecue. Michael has been featured on various platforms, including the Travel Channel’s “These Woods Are Haunted,” the documentary “I Believe in Bigfoot,” Coast to Coast AM, and several books. He is currently working on his first book, “The Bigfoot: Out of The Woods,” which is sure to provide valuable insights into his research and experiences in the world of Bigfoot. He is also releasing a children’s book series that will be sure to captivate little Bigfoot researchers from all walks of life.

Chette Nichols Jr. is a retired missionary and graduate in theology from Liberty University. With over 11 years of full-time Bigfoot research, he combines his amateur anthropology and biology skills with his passion for forest conservation.
