WHO: Best-Selling Author; Tom Powell

“I understand that I’m working on the fringe, if not outside the boundaries, of science. Science in its purest form not only tolerates exploring the frontier but also requires it, invites it.” --Thom Powell; Author

The above quote is from a recent Portland Tribune article titled "Exploring the Edges of Science". Recognized and respected by most as a middle school science teacher, Thom Powell has continued to lead the Bigfoot community into the fringe, pushing the envelope and shaping how we think about Bigfoot research.

Many of the ideas hinted in his previous two books have become mainstream. Find out what the next new ideas in Bigfoot research 

Thom continues to be in high demand as a speaker for Bigfoot conferences, lately he has added the UFO-types to his audience. Thom is the perfect ambassador for these two worlds; the world we know  and the world we may not be familiar with. Come to the NW Lucky Lab on October 15th and learn what is beyond today's thoughts about Bigfoot.

As a final note, it is with a heavy heart that  this is the last HopsSquatch planned for a while. If we have an opportunity to bring an exciting new speaker we may have impromptu events. Please help us celebrate 5 years of success and join us for the final HopsSquatch. 

We would like to thank Kelso Longview Chamber of Commerce for supporting this hopSquatch with great giveaways; 4 passes to SquatchFest, The Book Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science, and Sasquatch Field Guide. Bigfoot nerds will recognize those last two giveaways are authored by Dr. Jeff Meldrum. He will be speaking Jan. 28th at Squatch fest. Stay up-to-date with the latest info at  SquatchFest

UFOs, Fairies and Shamanic Experience

What do reports from UFO/ET and Fairy experiencers have in common? Could they be linked? What about the otherworldly encounters reported during certain shamanic journeys? Are these experiences new...or ancient? Do they tell us about creatures literally from a different world?...Or do they hint at what it really means to be Human and Humanity's true role in the multiverse?
