Derek Cundon's father was 87 years old when he finally told his son about the encounter. He had been living in Fort Jones, Northern California, on 44 acres of forest land, and one day while walking a logging road a couple hundred yards from his house, he came around a bend and saw something he could not explain. He did not use the word "Bigfoot" or "Sasquatch"—he had never heard those terms. He only knew that what he saw was a man-shaped creature about nine feet tall, covered in dark brown hair, with a face he could see clearly. It was eating blackberries. For a full minute, the two of them just stared at each other. Then the creature leaped over the bushes and disappeared into the forest. When Derek told his father, "Dad, you saw a Bigfoot," his father replied, "Yeah, they had big feet."
That conversation became the seed for Cundon's eight-book Triangle series, a collection of documented witness accounts covering UFOs, Bigfoot encounters, hauntings, and other unexplained phenomena across specific geographic regions of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.

Show Notes
Tonight I will be speaking to Derek Condit, an author, researcher, psychic intuitive, inventor, U.S. Army veteran, and former Washington State correctional officer.
Based in the Pacific Northwest, Derek explores the fascinating intersection of documented history, eyewitness testimony, unexplained phenomena, folklore, and personal experience. His work examines the stories and events that challenge our understanding of the world around us.
Derek is the creator of The Triangle Series, a collection of books investigating regions associated with unusual activity including UFO encounters, Bigfoot and cryptid sightings, paranormal experiences, unexplained lights, historic mysteries, and other events that defy easy explanation.
His approach is open minded and story-driven. Rather than dismissing experiences simply because they fall outside conventional understanding, Derek allows witnesses to share their stories and examines the possibilities surrounding what they encountered.
His interest in the unexplained is also deeply personal. Derek has experienced unexplained phenomena firsthand, including a Bigfoot encounter in Washington State.
As Derek explains:
"My connection to these subjects is also deeply personal. Both my 87-year-old father, a former NSA agent, and I have had our own Bigfoot encounters. Mine occurred in Washington State, while his took place in Northern California."
Derek's 16 years as a Washington State correctional officer also provided him with numerous unusual experiences. Some occurred inside the Washington State Reformatory, while others took place during night-shift assignments outside the prison. These firsthand encounters, combined with years of research, have shaped Derek's unique perspective on the unexplained.
