ABOUT LYLE

Lyle Blackburn is a native Texan known for his work as an author, podcaster, cryptid researcher, and musician. His early attraction to cryptid creatures and strange phenomena has resulted in a lifelong exploration of these subjects. Lyle has written several acclaimed books, including “The Beast of Boggy Creek” and “Texas Bigfoot,” which offer a balanced view of the topics while delivering gripping accounts of real-life mysteries. His research into "The Legend of Boggy Creek" reports in particular, has been instrumental in preserving the history of this notable Bigfoot case.

Lyle is a frequent guest on radio programs such as Coast To Coast AM, and he has contributed to the production of eight documentaries by the Small Town Monsters film company. Lyle has also appeared on numerous television shows, including The UnXplained, Monsters and Mysteries in America, Strange Evidence, Finding Bigfoot, and The Last Drive-In with Joe Bob Briggs.

As a professional musician, Lyle has achieved similar success as the founder of the rock band, Ghoultown. The band has released nine albums, which have not only earned a loyal worldwide following, but found their way into movies, video games, and numerous live venues across the United States, Canada, and Europe. Highlights include an invitation to write a song for iconic horror maven, Elvira Mistress of the Dark, which aired on her nationally syndicated show, Movie Macabre. Prior to forming Ghoultown, Lyle was a member of the acclaimed doom metal band, Solitude Aeturnus.

When Lyle isn't writing books, hunting monsters, or recording music, he can be found speaking at various cryptozoology and paranormal conferences around the United States. Just look for the trademark black cowboy hat.
