Why this record matters

This record combines a linked media source with exact source locators, making it easier to audit the witness account against the original material.

What is documented

Named guest personally recounts a Kentucky roadside visual encounter in Bigfoot Society 1215 03:54-14:16, and the 2023 Bigfoot Eyewitness Radio Episode 389 is the earliest located published direct-interview attestation.

Evidence boundary

Attributed firsthand testimony about an unidentified figure, not independently verified Sasquatch identification. Repeated Reiners interviews are one witness’s account, not independent event corroboration. Douglas’s Illinois account is a distinct secondhand story.

Current limits

What remains unresolved

Exact event date conflict: Reiners's 2026 firsthand interview says November 17, 2020 (WEBVTT includes disfluency), 2023 podcast metadata also November 17; a later secondary regional recap states August 2020. Event month/day remains disputed pending original-source reconciliation. Douglas's 1983 Illinois story is third-party narration, not John's own sighting. No independent physical corroboration recovered.
