Greg Smith grew up in the backwoods of the small Northwestern Georgia town of Chickamauga. He was raised on hunting and fishing, so he was always out in the woods. Greg developed an interest in cryptids thanks to the old TV show Unsolved Mysteries which would show the segments about unknown creatures like Bigfoot, Mothman, and other creatures which got him hooked on cryptozoology. He would watch and read anything he could find on the subject. Upon gaining access to the internet, he was opened to the world of Cryptids and by this time, there were many more shows on the subject. The show Mountain Monsters inspired Greg to begin doing his own boots-on-the-ground field research. He figured that if those men were in the woods looking for cryptids, then he could do it, too.
After some years he was weaponed up and mobile and Backwoods Cryptids began. Greg gave his research team its name because he’s “a backwoods son of a b**** and is out there in the woods looking for cryptid creatures.” For Greg, it has been a great and fun ride ever since he met and became friends with some amazing people with similar interests. You can find Greg’s adventures and research on his YouTube channel, Backwoods Cryptids, where he shares his field research, investigations, the creatures he’s hunting, and his many interviews with witnesses.
