Derek Condit

Derek Condit is an author, researcher, psychic intuitive, inventor, U.S. Army veteran, and former Washington State correctional officer. Based in the Pacific Northwest, his work explores the strange places where documented history, eyewitness testimony, unexplained phenomena, folklore, and personal experience intersect.

Derek is the creator of the **Triangle book series**, which investigates regions known for unusual activity, including UFO encounters, Bigfoot and cryptid sightings, paranormal experiences, unexplained lights, historic mysteries, and other events that resist easy explanation. His approach is story-driven and open-minded, allowing witnesses and their experiences to speak for themselves rather than dismissing the unexplained simply because it falls outside conventional understanding.

His interest in these subjects is deeply personal. Derek has experienced unexplained phenomena firsthand, including his own Bigfoot encounter, giving him a perspective that goes beyond research alone.

Derek is also the owner of **Bigfoot’s Gems in Mount Vernon, Washington**, a metaphysical and crystal shop specializing in unique stones, minerals, jewelry, spiritual products, and unusual finds. In addition to his retail and entrepreneurial work, he is a Certified Hypnotherapist and the host of the **Cosmic Shungite Podcast**, where he explores consciousness, paranormal phenomena, spirituality, unusual experiences, and the mysteries that continue to challenge what we think we know about the world.

Derek lives in Washington State with his family and continues researching, writing, creating, and investigating the unexplained.
