First Responders See Bigfoot
Five emails. Five people who carry a badge or a fire helmet for a living. Five encounters with something the textbooks say doesn't exist.
Tonight's episode is built entirely from listener submissions sent in by first responders — a patrol officer working a welfare check in the northern Wisconsin woods, a hotshot firefighter on a holding line in the Klamath country of northern California, a deputy sheriff on a search and rescue call in an eastern Kentucky holler, a small-town chief of police investigating a livestock kill in south Mississippi, and a corrections officer in central Pennsylvania who has seen the same thing — and eventually a family of them — crossing his road on the way to work.
These are the people trained to stay calm when other people fall apart.
These are the stories they couldn't square with the rest of what they thought they knew. Names and locations have been changed where requested to protect careers still in progress.
