Originally released: 2/23/24Harold Benny is a very interesting individual. He's an Illinois based zoologist that also researches Bigfoot.

What happened to him and his fellow researchers in Honobia, Oklahoma after the Siege at Honobia events of 2000 is an extremely interesting tale.

What also is interesting is the event that happened to him in Mena, Arkansas. It's one he can't explain and that I most definitely can't explain either.

Enjoy this interview. There's a lot to unpack from it.
