As part of his new line of work, St. Johns County resident Chris Simoes has become well-acquainted with Bigfoot culture.
The filmmaker has traveled with Bigfoot enthusiasts and gone on sasquatch hunts. He camped in North Georgia with a friend he describes as a Bigfoot believer, who used various calls to try and attract a sasquatch.
“There’s several ways that people believe Bigfoot communicates, Simoes said. He knocks on trees, like with a stick. So they’ll knock on trees. They’ll clack rocks together. And they’ll hoot and, you know, howl and that kind of thing, so a lot of Bigfoot hunters will go out into the woods and try to mimic their sounds and wait for answers.
