Expedition Bigfoot explores historic quests for Sasquatch

David Bakara can pinpoint the precise moment in his childhood that his life’s course was set.

It was the day in 1974 when the 12-year-old north Michigan native watched “The Legend of Boggy Creek.” Claiming to be based on a true story, the movie intercut documentary-style interviews with fictitious re-enactments to tell the story of a Bigfoot terrorizing an Arkansas community.

“I became obsessed,” says Bakara, now 55.
