Listen: Bigfoot calling competition at fabled Red River Gorge
You may think you have heard it all, but have you heard the cry of a Bigfoot call?The first-ever Bigfoot Festival took place in the fabled Red River Gorge deep in the woods of Kentucky as guests were treated to music, food, and crafts. That wasn't all, as locals held a Bigfoot Calling Contest. Many hoped the scream would bring out the legendary mythical beast himself.
Local Steve Lindsey was certain one of those, 'If you talk about Bigfoot in certain circles, you're going to get laughed at. Here, everybody is either here because they believe or they want to believe.'
Despite all the tough competition, 10-year-old Easton Tennison was able to take home the top prize for having the best Bigfoot scream of the day.
Watch the contest alongside Jamie and Matt as the two talk about whether or not they are believers in the big man.
