Weird Berea

This week we look at three instances of what the internet says is weird about Berea. Not ‘Weird’ like Austin, Texas; but weird like Bigfoot and perplexing archaeological evidence!

Definitely click above to listen to this week’s episode.

Below are the links and pictures mentioned:

Here are the pictures Michael shared of the crouching Bigfoot he saw at the Pinnacles. This is an extreme close-up of a section of the picture further below. You may have difficulty making it out at first, but it does look like a human-like shape in shadows with a lighted outline… Click on the image and zoom in…

Extreme close-up of the reported creature.

Here is the larger picture that shows the context of the sighting…
