This segment of the "Strange Reality Show with Dave Emmons" is the full-length video of my guest, Val Zavalda. The show was recorded on 5-28-26. Val discusses his background as a detective and how he draws on that experience to research Bigfoot. Val covers topics such as Bigfoot and Cryptid data research, 411 missing-person files research, whether Bigfoot could be dangerous, and infrasound emitted by Bigfoot. Val describes his face-to-face encounters with Bigfoot and a ghost Native American.

Val calls himself the Gumshoe Guy due to his 25 1/2 years in law enforcement, spanning city, county, state, and federal law positions. Val's childhood interest was to search for Bigfoot - he found a couple. He graduated from Madonna University and Central Michigan State. In his free time, he worked as a private investigator for his clients. He instructed at colleges and was a touring speaker. He has spent many years investigating Bigfoot. Google his name, Val Zavala. You can find Val Zavalda on his Facebook page, Michigan Bigfoot Data.
