Pat McCray has been doing Bigfoot research for the past seven years in Indiana. When he met his wife six years ago, everything changed. From then on, they have had regular contact with Bigfoot and have ongoing contact at their home. Pat has been exposed to more things than he could have imagined during this time. Now Pat and Robin work with the clans around their house and in many other areas. Pat will be the Nebraska Bigfoot Handicapped Garden Grand Opening Military Veteran Spokesperson.

Steven Hill has lived in southwest Arkansas all of his life. He has always had an interest in anything unusual or anything that's not supposed to exist. Growing up as close to Fouke as he did, Steven just wasn't convinced that bigfoot lived in the south. Even after a sighting in 2009, it still took a few years before Steven fully came terms with the these creatures being real and the fact that they lived in his part of the country. Steven researches quite often and has a great many awesome encounters to share!
