Cliff Barackman Speaks at HopsSquatch
Posted by: Kirk Sigurdson on April 2nd, 2014
This past HopsSquatch last month, Cliff launched into what I feel is his strongest presentation yet. He was in top form (as you will see from the video samples below).
Cliff spoke to a packed house at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub in Portland, Oregon. Go to my website to see much more info, you can get a sense of the technical nature of the talk. It was quite informative.
Please visit Cliff’s website, North American Bigfoot.
About Kirk Sigurdson
Kirk Edward Sigurdson attended New York University, where he earned a Master's degree in English literature. His master's thesis entitled "A Gothic Approach to HP Lovecraft's Sense of Outsideness" was published in Lovecraft Studies Journal.
After writing three novels while living in Manhattan's East Village, Sigurdson returned to his native state of Oregon. It wasn’t long before he began work on a fresh new novel that drew upon his knowledge of the sasquatch phenomenon.
As research, he ventured dozens of times into sasquatch "hot spots" for overnighters, often with friends who shared some very unique experiences. He also drew upon childhood exposure to sasquatch calls and knocking that occurred during family camping trips to Horseshoe Lake in the Cascades mountains.
Kirk Sigurdson is currently a Professor of Writing and English literature at Portland Community College.
