Adams: Something was
throwing it right at us.

[ animal growling ]

It was so close, but there was
no sign of a person.

[ loud, heavy thudding ]

Something was breaking saplings,
just kind of crunch, crunch.

The whole mood went from,
"let's have a good time

And sing around the campfire,"

To, "oh, what do we do now?"

[ animal growls ]

| said, "if you want to know the
truth, it sounds like bigfoot."

[ animal growls ]

fd

fd

My name is rodney adams.
I'm from louisville, Kentucky.

Any time that | really could,
| spent outdoors,

And I've just been
in the woods my whole life.

fd

On this particular weekend,
| had a nice big job on a Friday

And a nice one on a Monday,

And they were both relatively
close but very far from home,

So | decided | was just going
to camp through the weekend

Instead of driving back.

fd

| was on a kayaking,
backpacking forum,

And | just kind of posted, "hey,
Camping alone this weekend,"

And | said, "anybody
wants to join me,

I'd love to have some company,"

Because camping by yourself
down there can get a little,

You know, shady sometimes.

[ birds chirping ]

And | just wasn't ready for that
kind of solace, | don't think.

| was hoping to have
some company.

fd

[ upbeat music plays ]

fd

| had been to the gorge
quite a bit before.

It's a very unique area.

fd

It's paradise,
a very beautiful place.

fd

| arrived about...

You know, it was probably
6:00, | guess.

The other guys actually
show up right about then.

-Hey, it's rodney, right?
-Yeah.

Yeah, I'm john,
and this is chris.

Nice to meet you.

| was like, "yeah, I've hiked
down there a couple of times.

| haven't really stayed."

Got all my stuff together,
and | had a backpack.

fd

Can you tell this is our
first time proper camping?

Come on.

| had been to the red river
gorge as a student in kentucky

At the university of kentucky.

| spent many,
many weekends there.

fd

It's just beautiful.

Old-growth forest, the trees
are 200-plus years old,

And | like to be
as remote as possible.

[ sinister music plays ]

[ distant scream |]

fd

There has been sightings
of wolf in that area,

Coyote for sure, bobcat,

And there was an occasional
bear through there.

Nowadays, there's
actually a lot more.

The bear have actually
moved back into that area.

Pretty much spent
my whole life in the woods

In some shape or form.

I've never really
been a hunter.

| felt pretty
comfortable in there

With the amount
of wildlife that's there.

That's probably why | didn't
really have a weapon with me

Other than a machete
for chopping limbs.

[ crows caw,
wings flutter ]

fd

[ crow caws |

It's just solid woods, thousands
and thousands of acres,

Very dense,
very old-growth forest.

fd

In the summertime,
you really can't see, you know,

40, 50 feet,
even during the day,

Because it's just so dense.

fd

[ wings flutter ]

fd

[ animal growling ]

fd

fd

fd

There's a big ridge
and a bluff there,

And then down below there was
a waterfall and a huge stream,

And the stream,
it's just crystal clear.

It's beautiful.

[ upbeat music plays ]

fd

[ awed laughter |]

Here's our home for the night.

Amazing.

fd

When we saw that spot,
it just...Ah.

It just shined to us.

You know, that was
the spot we wanted.

It's beautiful and perfect.

We get down there,
start setting up.

fd

You know, | get my bedroll out
and get my tent set up

And get all that nailed down
before it started to get dark,

Which was really not
a whole lot of time.

You know, about 2 hours
is all you really got.

I'm going to go get some wood.

| always build as big
of a fire as | can get

And keep it going all night.

The last thing you want to do
is have to scrounge for wood

In the dark,

And if you don't have
a fire going there,

The coyote are coming.

Coyotes are a real threat,
but they don't like fire.

The ones we have nowadays
seem to be

Actually kind of
mixed with dog,

So they're bigger than
the average coyote,

And they're actually
a little meaner.

[ sizzling ]

fd

fd

[ animal growls ]

[ fire crackles,
birds chirp ]

fd

Decided | better get my pots
and pans and scrub out the stuff

Because if you let them
sit for a day,

You'll be scrubbing and
scrubbing and scrubbing,

So | get down near the water

And just kind of scrub
out the pans.

[ animal growls ]

fd

[ animal growls ]

[ wings flutter ]

fd

[ animal growling ]

fd

[ animal growls ]

You could hear it splash,
you know,

Overtop the sound
of the babbling creek

That's constantly running.

| really just kind of
looked around,

And | was really startled
because | didn't see anybody.

[ animal growls ]

fd

[ somber music plays |

[ animal growls ]

A little bit
of hemingway's nectar?

Oh, there we go.

Thanks, man.

-May |?
-Yeah, absolutely.

Adams: I've got a little bottle
of kentucky bourbon in my pack

Because it's a lot easier
than carrying a 12-pack of beer.

Here you go, buddy.

Adams:
And that's, you know, just kind
of giggling and carrying on

And really not listening to or
thinking about what's out there.

[ light growl ]

[ birds chirping ]

About 20, 30 minutes into the
whole sitting around the fire,

| hear a rock come boom
and hit the ground.

fd

It actually landed
right in front of me

And rolled right up
to the fire pit.

Hey!
Hey!

Who's up there?

It kind of startled us
because it was so close.

It was like something
was throwing it right at us,

But, you know, there was
no sign of a person.

It's huge.

| actually realized
when | picked it up

That it had been pulled
up out of the ground

Because you could see
the fresh dirt on it.

Hey!

Who's out there?

You better not be
messing with us!

fd

When that second rock came in,
it made a really big splash.

[ music climbs ]

Something had to have
a significant amount of power

To throw that rock.

Quit messing with us!

Leave us alone!

Both of those guys at that point
became kind of visibly scared,

And the whole mood went from,

"let's have a good time
and sing around the campfire,"

To, "oh, what do we do now?"

Hey!

fd

fd

[ fire crackles ]
[ animal growls ]

fd

[ animal breathes heavily ]

fd

Once it had gotten
a little darker

Is when we started
to hear things.

[ animal growls ]

[ animal growls ]

[ animal growls ]

[ animal growls ]

[ crash! ]

[ crash! ]

[ crash! ]

fd

Is there
somebody out there?

[ distant crashes |]

You know, of course,
we got no response,

And that's when the
vocalization started to happen.

[ animal growling ]

It was very guttural,
like a [imitates growl]

[ grunting-like noise ]

Really low, you could
feel the force

Of that grunt in your body.

[ animal grunts ]

It must be a deer
or something. It'll move on.

| wanted to really think in my
mind that it was a large buck,

But it would've had to been
reallylarge buck,

And | hadn't seen
any sign of a deer.

[ growling continues ]

We heard the second vocalization

Probably 10 minutes
after the first one,

But it was different.
It was kind of like a

[imitates growl] sound.

[ short bark-like growl ]

That one probably, | would say,
40 to 50 feet over to the right

From where it was
the first time.

[ bark-like growl continues |
[ thudding ]

| hear whap! Just really loud,
crack!

Like somebody
had grabbed a piece of wood

And smacked it against a tree.
[ thudding continues |

It caught me off guard.
It was very loud.

It really sounded
like a baseball bat.

[ thudding ]

fd

| really couldn't think of how
that would happen naturally.

fd

Something was breaking saplings,
just kind of crunch, crunch.

fd

You know, the commotion of
a large creature of some kind.

fd

Well, | heard definitely
some rustling and some snaps

But bipedal heavy footfalls,

And they're heavy.

[ branches crunching,
heavy footfalls ]

fd

It's on two legs
and not four because,

You know, the sounds of four
is, like, kind of a

[imitates
four-legged footfall]

And nota
[imitates two-legged footfall]

But it really had
a heavy footfall.

fd

It sent chills up my back.

In fact, | think I'm
getting goose bumps now

Just thinking about it.

[ animal growls ]

And so, at that
point in my mind,

I'm already realizing that
whatever I'm dealing with,

It's not a deer,
and it's not a human.

[ animal growls ]

[ crash! ]

[ animal growls ]

It wasn't what
| had heard before.

It started out very low,
kind of, "ah!"

[ animal roars ]

fd

And at that point,
| was able to really tell

Exactly where
it was coming from.

What is it?

Shh!

Keep quiet.

| could see this creature
standing next to the tree,

And there was enough moonlight
that | could see an outline,

And | could tell
that it was very large.

You know, you could actually see
the fur kind of glistening

In the moonlight a little bit.

And | couldn't see its face,

But | could tell from
where it was standing

That it was much taller
than me and much wider than me.

| grabbed my flashlight,
and | shined it up there,

And when | did,
it ducked behind the tree,

But | could see the edge
of it still there,

And it was trying
not to be seen.

Where did it go?

| hear a crack.

fd

A cedar limb almost hit me.

| remember seeing it
flipping end over end

Through the fire light,

And it went right past my head.

Look out!

And I'm thinking, "oh, wow.
Now it's throwing limbs at me."

Ah!

So | decide I'm going to
throw things back at it.

| don't know if it was
a great move or not,

But it felt like the thing
to do at the time.

Somebody's
messing with us.

| said, "it's not a somebody.
It's a something."

fd

fd

fd

[ animal growls ]

Adams: They were pretty unnerved
at this point.

| said, "if you want to know the
truth, it sounds like bigfoot."

Both of those guys were
kind of visibly scared

And definitely in
fight-or-flight mode,

But | wasn't really
ready to run off.

| was a little nervous,
the fact

That | didn't have
a firearm of any kind.

The only real weapon
| had was a machete,

But | really didn't
visualize myself

Doing hand-to-hand combat
with whatever this was.

And then I'm thinking, "if we
leave, how many more are there?

Is it just one creature here,
or am | dealing with creatures?"

Guys, we're going to
have to post watch.

I'll go first.

You guys get some sleep.

[ animal growls ]

fd

They got in the tent.

| got the first watch,
and | felt

That | was safer with the fire,

And | know right here there's
only a couple directions

Where it could come at me.

[ animal growls ]

| still wasn't really sure
if this thing was going to

Just rip us limb from limb,

And | think, in my mind,
| thought it might.

| was just ready for it
to happen at any moment.

fd

And from that point on, things
started to gradually die down,

And | actually felt
more comfortable,

And | decided that | was going
to try to get some rest,

| guess "if you can't beat them,
go to sleep" kind of philosophy.

fd

fd

| eventually get into
my tent at about 12:00.

fd

And | had left
camping pans stacked

Over by the edge
of the creek there.

[ clatter ]

| hear my pans get knocked over,
and I'm thinking,

"oh, it's probably a raccoon."

[ loud clattering ]

And then | hear some more
intense rummaging,

Like it's got one
of my pans in its hand

And maybe trying to scrape
something out of it.

fd

| could see it over there,
and it's got my pan in its hand,

And it's just kind of
scraping the edges of it.

It pretty much
just froze me in fear.

| couldn't even move.

It made me feel confused,
scared, terrified all at once.

It was actually
kind of hunched over.

Even then, it was taller
than my tent.

It was probably 6, 7 foot
without standing up straight.

[ growls ]

What else really shocked me
was the width of the shoulders.

| mean, it looked like if you
picture your standard doorway

That this thing
would have to duck

And turn sideways
to get through a door.

To me, it looked like
the missing link

Between a large
primate and a human.

Definitely had very long arms,
like, the ratio of arm to body

Was longer than a human,

Was built, like, similar
to a gorilla but much taller,

And it's got that width
and that bulk of a gorilla

But just bigger,
a whole lot bigger.

[ clatter ]
[ growls ]

It threw my pans down,
and it just went [growls]

Made that loud
grunt kind of sound.

[ grunting ]

Man:
We got to get out of here.
Come on. Let's go.

Where are we going to go,
out there in the dark

With that thing?

It really scared the living
daylights out of me,

Even at that distance,
and it looked at me.

[ growls ]

| grabbed my flashlight again
and went, "hey!"

Leave us alone!

And | hit it
right in the face.

[ growls ]

| could see its eyes...

fd

...And its teeth.

| knew what | was looking at,

And there was no doubt
at that point

That what | was looking
at was bigfoot.

fd

fd

[ growls ]

| could see its eyes
and its teeth.

| knew what | was looking at,
and there was no doubt

At that point that what
| was looking at was bigfoot.

[ growls ]

It really looked like
| caught it off guard,

And it just kind of looked at me
with this grimacing face.

fd

| kind of ran back.

| was actually terrified.

| definitely felt that it was
coming all the way at us,

But it stopped.

| guess it didn't want to enter

Into the clearing
of our campsite.

Guys, | need your help!

Get out here!

But at this point,
| was very disturbed

And definitely
in fight-or-flight mode,

But | wasn't really
ready to run off.

It was more like fight mode.

Hey!

Get out of here!

Ah!

I'm actually yelling and
screaming in its direction,

"you expletive expletive,
get the heck out of here!"

Hal!

Get out of here!
-We should go out there.

We're not going out there.

Leave us alone!

Get out of here!

Hal!

[ grumble-like growls ]

Adams:
When it was retreating out

Was when that first
long vocalization

Came out, that,
"ah," kind of a sound.

It really sounded like
it was a frustration,

Mad kind of a vocalization.

[ long growl ]

[ long growl ]

fd

It let out another [grunts]
kind of a sound,

And it kind of scurried up
around the side of the hill.

[ leaves crunching ]
[ bark-like growl ]

It was just kind of
crunching all the way up,

And then it went up
above us onto that ridge,

And it would vocalize like,
"ah,"

But, you know,
it was getting further away.

[ distant roar ]

Does this sound mean,
you know, he's giving up

And this is his last-ditch
effort to try to scare us out,

Or does this particular
sound mean

He's calling in his buddies?

fd

Am | hearing the one that |
just had an experience with,

Or are there more than one?

fd

It almost sounded like somebody
answered it from over there.

[ distant roar ]

| laid back down,
and the rest of the night,

I'm convinced that | hear
things all night long.

It just wasn't safe to leave.

fd

The other guys, they were
hitting the road,

And | think they were
probably going to wake me up

Before they left,

But | don't even know
if they would've done that.

They were pretty shook up.

We were all pretty shook up.

You know, these guys were
professional career individuals.

-Sorry.
-Go. Go.

Adams:
One of them was a lawyer.

They had reputations
to worry about,

So they really didn't
want to speak of it.

To this day, | don't know
if they ever have.

[ animal growling ]

fd

[ growling continues ]

| couldn't expect other people
to even believe me

Because | was so stunned
by the fact

That it had happened to me
that | was in denial.

[ water rushing,
birds chirping ]

It almost makes you question
your own judgment

In your own reality and sanity,

But, you know,
| Know it was real.

It happened.

Now | know that I've seen
something that, all my life,

| always thought a little
bit of it was legend,

And now | know that it's real.

It totally changed
the whole scope of my life.

Now I'm constantly on the look
to see it again.

fd

My focus now is really
almost obsessed

With finding out what
these creatures are about.

More information
| can get, the better.

fd

When | go in the woods now,
it's no longer a machete

And a walking stick.

| usually carry a firearm, and
I've always got a camera now.

fd

| want to be prepared
for it this time,

That one video or picture
that's undeniable proof.

fd

Still in a lot of people's eyes,
I'm that crazy guy now that

| didn't want to be labeled as,

But that's just
who | am at this point

Because | can't unsee
what I've seen.

fd

You know, | know it was real.

It happened, and I've been
searching ever since,

Trying to find it.

fd

[ animal growls ]

fd

fd

[ birds chirping ]

[ distant whispers ]

fd

Are you ready
to accept the spirit world?

| feel terrified.

| don't want to make
contact with a ghost.

-Show yourselves.
-[ screams ]

The first reaction out of
anybody's mouth is, "holy crap."

Get me out of here.
There's something pulling me in!

Some sort of force is trying
to keep me down there.

We just need to get her out.

Aah!
Jess!

fd

fd

Ashley: My friend jessica
and | were home

In our small beach town
in florida

One summer between college.

We were bored.

She suggested that we go visit
her boyfriend up in savannah.

You excited?

| can't wait.

It's been 3 weeks.

Ashley wanted to come with me
because she's just an adventurer

And wanted to kind of
come along for the ride

And explore savannah.

You know, | never told you
what he does in his spare time.

He does ghost tours.

No way!
That is so cool.

Immediately, | was
fascinated by that.

It's been 3 hours
of I-95 highway,

And, all of a sudden, you get
off the exit for savannah,

And it's mossy trees
hanging over the streets.

It's so pretty.

fd

It almost feels like you have
gone back in time a little bit.

fd

We arrived in the late evening.

fd

-Hey.
-Hey.

And he said to us,
"hey, would you be interested

In going down

And seeing the catacombs?"

-This is ashley.
-Hey!

-Nice to finally meet you.
-Yeah, you too.

Ashley really wanted to go.

So where are we
going again?

To some old catacombs.

They date back
to the 1800s.

Oh, so exciting.

When he tells me that,
| think it is so exciting.

This is terrifying.

They say it used to be part
of an old hospital.

The catacombs that run
underneath savannah

In the late 1800s

Were used as a sort of
quarantine for all

Of the yellow fever patients
in the city.

They say a lot of people
never left them alive.

[ nervous laughter ]

Jess:
The best place for a ghost tour

Is anywhere where
people have died,

And a lot of people
died in the catacombs.

fd

Ashley: When we get to the
location that's the entrance

To the catacombs,
there is an abandoned hospital,

Which just makes me feel like

| am walking into
a horror movie.

After a few minutes checking out
the grounds, he tells us

He needs a minute
to be able to find

The entrance of the catacombs,

Which he eventually does find.

[ ominous music plays ]

fd

Jess:
It looks very dangerous.

Clearly, no one's meant
to go down there.

fd

It just looks completely
like a black hole.

You can't see anything.

You can see that it's probably
about 8 to 10 feet down,

| would say.

There are no ladders, no stairs,
nothing leading down.

It just looks like a hole
in the ground.

fd

The first person to go down
into the catacomb

Is my friend's boyfriend.

Jess:
So he goes ahead to make sure

There's no homeless
people down there,

Make sure that no one is,
you know, kind of squatting.

fd

There's no lighting.

There's no way to call for help
if you need it.

So many things could go wrong
down there,

And nobody can help you.

Ah!

Well, who's first?

| will.

| jump in next because | am
so eager to get down there.

fd

When | get down there,
| see a stone room,

And it's walled off

After about 40 or 50 feet,
so it's a big room.

It's just not miles
of catacombs.

It's just this one area.

fd

Jess: | get scared easily
to begin with,

So something of this nature

| probably wouldn't have agreed
if the whole group hadn't been

So gung-ho to go,

So I'm the last person to go in.

fd

| immediately had
a very creepy feeling.

It's in the middle of the summer
when we went,

And it was very, very cold.

fd

Ashley: | am down there for
a few minutes, and | think,

"okay. This is it.
There's just a stone room.

Nothing's happening.

| think we should probably go.

Adventure is over.
I'm a little bored."

Hey, let's have a seance.

Let's try to summon
some spirits.

fd

Everyone, get in a circle.

One of the gals that we're with
suggests doing a seance to see

If we can make contact with
a spirit, which terrifies me.

Everyone else
is very cool with it.

Everyone else is into it
wamntsto do it,

So |, against my better
judgment, agree to participate.

| am very hesitant to do this,

But | am kind of along
for the ride with everyone,

So | go along with the group.

Ashley: Jessica and | exchange
this look that reads of,

"are we really
going to do this?"

Are you ready to accept
the spirit world?

Jess: It's clear that we're both
a little scared,

A little freaked out,

But we don't want to go
against the group,

So we go ahead with it.

fd

We need total silence to invite
the spirits into our world.

Everyone,
please close your eyes.

After | close my eyes,
| felt very scared.

| had sweaty palms,
felt very uneasy.

fd

Spirits, if you're here,
please make yourselves known.

Very eerily quiet.

fd

The chanting echoed.

If you're here,
please make yourselves known.

Ashley: | am way too scared
to close my eyes

Because there's just enough
moonlight coming into the room

That | can still see
the people I'm with,

And that gives me
a sense of comfort.

| just stand there with my eyes

Bugged wide open,
barely blinking

Because | don't want
to feel that vulnerable.

| feel terrified.
This is not what | wanted.

| don't want to
make contact with a ghost.

Make yourselves known.

| started to feel like there
was somebody else in the room,

Just, like,
this thick presence.

Makes yourselves known.

| don't want a spirit here.

| don't want to make contact.

| do not care if it's friendly.

This is not what | wanted.
This is too much.

If you're here,
please...

| start thinking, "go away. No.
No ghost. | don't want a ghost,"

And | start thinking
my rejecting thoughts

Because | don't want it
to make contact with us.

[ distorted voice ]
spirits...

| feel a bit at the mercy
of the group,

Sort of a step past adventure
into dangerous territory.

Please show yourselves.

[ indistinct whispers ]

[ thud ]
all: Aah!

fd

fd

Girl: [ distorted voice ]
spirits, please
give US a Sign.

One of the gals that we're with
suggests doing a seance to see

If we can make contact

With a spirit,
which terrifies me.

Please show yourselves.

[ thud ]
all: Aah!

We hear a huge thud,
like a smash on the wall.

fd

And there's a huge stone,

I'd say maybe about 10 pounds,
a very large stone,

Is just shattered in like
100 pieces on the ground.

fd

The first reaction out of
anybody's mouth is, "holy crap."

That rock was in
a million pieces

At the other side of the room.

I'm done.
No more séance for me.

This is crazy.

| have no desire
to investigate what happened.

At that point, I'm kind
of fight or flight,

And | want to get
out of there.

My heart has dropped,
sunk right into my stomach.

lam so genuinely afraid.

My adrenaline is spiking
through the roof.

| think, "well, if thers
a ghost, it doesn'likeus."

It's a way of saying, "get out."

-Oh, my god.
-That's how | took it.

| don't understand
how this could happen.

| look over at ashley.
She's completely pale.

| think a yellow fever
patient threw that rock.

Oh, my god. [ gasps ]

Ashley: We were somewhere
we weren't supposed to be.

Jess: It seems that whatever is
down there is very angry.

| want to go.

No one is wanting to stay
and investigate.

No one is wanting
to continue to try

To make contact
with a spirit.

Ashley:
Everybody is terrified.

Everybody wants to leave.

| am now down there with just
one other person,

And he gives my leg
a boost, pushes me up.

fd

None of us have had trouble
getting out so far.

She's about halfway out.

She's got her foot on a ledge,

And she's about to propel
herself out of the hole.

Here, take my hand.

It won't be much longer.

Take my hand.

I've got you.
There we go.

| got you.

| got you.

All of a sudden, this force,

It's almost
like a suction force,

Like you're being pulled
down to the ground,

Just pulls my entire body.

There's something pulling me.
l-| can't get out.

It almost felt like
if you put your hand up

To the suction
of a vacuum cleaner,

How there's such
a tremendous force

That pulls your hand toward it.

It felt like that but
for my whole body.

Please!
-A little more.

| got you.

Aah!

And she just falls to
the ground, just falls.

Like, there was no warning.

It wasn't like, "ooh,
| think you're slipping."

It was,
"she's on the ground."

Jess.

I'm crying, part of it in pain,

But part of it just because
I'm so terrified,

Thinking that, like, | might not
be able to get out of here.

[ jess crying ]

Jess?
Jess!

Ashley:
There's no reason | can think of
that jessica would have fallen.

We had a great grip on her.

She wasn't having any
trouble getting out,

So I'm terrified that
this ghost is back for more.

Jess, are you there?

We just need to get her out.

Jess?

fd

| think that some sort of energy
or some sort of force

Is trying to keep me down there.

Come on, jess.

Get me out of here.

| get up from the ground, and
we try it again, and that time,

I'm able to grab
my boyfriend's hands.

[ both sigh ]

And I'm just glad
that my friend is okay.

Ashley is trying
to comfort me,

But at that point, no one
really knows what happened.

My boyfriend says, "you know
the whole history of this

Is that there were guards
who were stationed

At the entrance of the catacombs
who would make sure

That the patients
weren't able to escape?"

distorted voices]

fd

When he tells us the story
of these guards,

| feel instantly like
they must have something to do

With why jessica fell.

That night in the catacombs
really changed my outlook

And beliefs on the paranormal.

I've always listened to
other people's stories

And been very skeptical,

But having this experience of
my own really made me believe.

I've had some
unexplained experiences,

And until there's an explanation
for that, yeah, why not?

Of course it could be ghosts.

It was the most terrifying
experience of my life.

fd

Aah!
