Mike Familant, full-time Bigfoot researcher, producer, and lead investigator of the documentary series In the Shadow of Big Red Eye, will be at the Rangeley Public Library on Wednesday July 8th at 6:00 PM to discuss his investigation of the Big Foot phenomenon. Mike has traveled across the United States for over 15 years, from the swamps of Florida to the deep forests of Maine, documenting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and exploring some of the most remote wilderness areas in North America. His journey began about 15 years ago when, on his very first camping trip in the vast North Florida wilderness, five fist-sized rocks crashed through the pine canopy at 4 AM, landing just feet from where he sat. When a friend tossed a rock back, a 15-pound boulder slammed into the ground beside them. In that instant, they determined that they were not dealing with a person, and he changed the entire direction of his life. Since then, Mike’s mission has been twofold: first, to investigate the Bigfoot phenomenon with honesty, curiosity, and real fieldwork, and second, to inspire families to get outside, explore nature, and rediscover the wonder of the world around them. This hour-long family-friendly program blends storytelling, science, field investigation, and audience interaction. It includes a full multimedia PowerPoint presentation, authentic evidence collected over 15+ years, local legends from Maine, thermal footage, audio recordings, track casts, and field photos. Mike will share behind-the-scenes stories from expeditions across the country followed by a Q & A session and ending with a time for photos, autographs, and one-on-one conversations. To reserve your space at this free program, please stop by the Rangeley Public Library at 7 Lake Street, or call (207)864-5529. We look forward to seeing you.
