I have appeared in or contributed to the following TV programs, documentaries and films:
OLN's Mysterious Encounters: "Caddo Critter", Southern Fried Bigfoot, Travel Channel's Weird Travels: "Bigfoot", History Channel's MonsterQuest: "Swamp Stalker", The Wild Man of the Navidad, Destination America's Monsters and Mysteries in America: Texas Terror - Lake Worth Monster, Animal Planet's Finding Bigfoot: Return to Boggy Creek and Beast of the Bayou.
Okay, I watched this very folksy, homespun serio-comic documentary. The fact that most of locals haven’t seen, heard or believe in it should answer any questions about it. Not sure why the film is interspersed with cuts from the 1961 micro-budgeted stinker “Creature From the Haunted Sea” and Les Tremayne from 1967’s “Creature Of Destruction”. They don’t help matters. Once the manatee angle is presented, you need go no further…I will say that as a professional sculptor myself, I found the model of the creature very well done.
