1
00:00:01,099 --> 00:00:03,599
(eerie music)

2
00:00:27,270 --> 00:00:31,338
- Deep in this fog-covered forest lies a creature.

3
00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:33,918
Some call him Sasquatch.

4
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,373
Some call him Bigfoot.

5
00:00:36,210 --> 00:00:39,213
Some even call him the mountain demon.

6
00:00:40,530 --> 00:00:42,830
He has been there since the beginning of time.

7
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,353
Hiding, hiding forever from man.

8
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:49,968
He lies in the forest.

9
00:00:50,010 --> 00:00:51,818
Deep in the fog.

10
00:00:51,860 --> 00:00:54,360
(eerie music)

11
00:00:55,658 --> 00:00:58,827
He is the spirit of the forest.

12
00:00:58,869 --> 00:01:01,369
(eerie music)

13
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,248
Hairy man, Benefactor,

14
00:01:34,290 --> 00:01:36,933
spiritual, mental and physical protector.

15
00:01:40,350 --> 00:01:43,923
Tribal elders believe Bigfoot's
appearance can be prophetic.

16
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,168
He is believed to reside

17
00:01:48,210 --> 00:01:50,643
in both the spiritual and physical world.

18
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,708
One story says Bigfoot called hairy man

19
00:01:57,750 --> 00:01:59,298
is the spirit that determined

20
00:01:59,340 --> 00:02:02,718
that man would walk on two legs like him.

21
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,838
It is said that people were afraid of hairy man.

22
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,278
That made him sad,

23
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,893
so he drew his picture on a
rock depicting his sadness.

24
00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:16,188
I'm Master Hughes,

25
00:02:16,230 --> 00:02:19,698
and for many years as a nature lover and camper,

26
00:02:19,740 --> 00:02:21,498
I've traveled through forests,

27
00:02:21,540 --> 00:02:26,028
Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma for many, many years.

28
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:29,838
I kept finding things that
shouldn't be where they are

29
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:30,858
and it made me curious

30
00:02:30,900 --> 00:02:32,838
and I started looking into the stories

31
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,143
and legends of Bigfoot, especially
in Arkansas and Oklahoma.

32
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,140
Over 15 years ago, I was finding evidence

33
00:02:45,150 --> 00:02:48,708
of some creature living in the forest.

34
00:02:48,750 --> 00:02:50,868
In fact, not just a creature,

35
00:02:50,910 --> 00:02:53,223
but small groups of these creatures.

36
00:02:54,990 --> 00:02:58,728
Over a five-year period, I found a lot of evidence.

37
00:02:58,770 --> 00:03:00,363
Then about 10 years ago,

38
00:03:01,921 --> 00:03:04,488
it started getting smaller and smaller

39
00:03:04,530 --> 00:03:06,483
and I was finding less evidence.

40
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:10,353
But I still found evidence, ample evidence.

41
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:16,248
Five years ago, it became very hard to find evidence.

42
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:18,528
Yet, I still find some evidence.

43
00:03:18,570 --> 00:03:21,348
It's very evident to me, at some point,

44
00:03:21,390 --> 00:03:23,598
there was a larger population of some creature

45
00:03:23,640 --> 00:03:24,873
living in this forest.

46
00:03:26,130 --> 00:03:27,498
And that for some reason,

47
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,958
it has slowly gotten smaller and smaller

48
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,908
and the areas that they normally came to

49
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:35,838
that I was able to locate slowly started decaying

50
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,413
and showing no use.

51
00:03:39,210 --> 00:03:42,783
I created the movie, The Kiamichi Beast Expedition,

52
00:03:44,460 --> 00:03:46,428
based on evidence I found.

53
00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:49,698
And then I did The Kiamichi Beast Expedition Two,

54
00:03:49,740 --> 00:03:51,918
which had even more evidence.

55
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,913
And then Trail of the Kiamichi Beast.

56
00:03:54,780 --> 00:03:57,678
Now I'm back to explore

57
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,628
what is happening to the creature

58
00:03:59,670 --> 00:04:01,113
that lived in these forests.

59
00:04:02,340 --> 00:04:04,593
Are they being decimated by the population,

60
00:04:05,700 --> 00:04:09,303
by human beings more and
more coming into these forests?

61
00:04:12,302 --> 00:04:13,968
(thumping beat)

62
00:04:32,127 --> 00:04:34,043
(Gravel on road crunching)

63
00:04:36,376 --> 00:04:37,907
(eerie music)

64
00:05:02,232 --> 00:05:05,527
These roads up here get pretty rugged sometimes.

65
00:05:05,569 --> 00:05:07,793
Have a dry spell, then have a wet spell.

66
00:05:18,077 --> 00:05:21,077
(engine noise)

67
00:05:37,935 --> 00:05:41,768
(suspenseful music continues)

68
00:06:00,549 --> 00:06:04,382
(truck rattling)

69
00:06:43,410 --> 00:06:44,793
This is Master Hughes.

70
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,533
I'm making this statement
and I'm gonna try to upload it.

71
00:06:50,490 --> 00:06:53,838
Most likely I will quickly
lose contact with anybody

72
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,463
and will not be able to be reached by phone.

73
00:06:57,510 --> 00:06:58,668
That's how it is up here.

74
00:06:58,710 --> 00:07:00,108
It's dangerous.

75
00:07:00,150 --> 00:07:01,848
But if I can,

76
00:07:01,890 --> 00:07:05,538
I will post a video or two on YouTube

77
00:07:05,580 --> 00:07:06,980
for those that are watching.

78
00:07:08,550 --> 00:07:09,540
Wish me luck.

79
00:07:20,730 --> 00:07:22,428
Now, the reason I planned my expedition

80
00:07:22,470 --> 00:07:23,823
is usually for three weeks,

81
00:07:24,873 --> 00:07:27,603
is because there's millions of acres of woods up here.

82
00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:30,768
Even if you have an idea where you're going,

83
00:07:30,810 --> 00:07:34,128
you're not just gonna run in
and locate them right away.

84
00:07:34,170 --> 00:07:35,718
You're not gonna locate Bigfoot right away.

85
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:36,888
You're not even gonna get close.

86
00:07:36,930 --> 00:07:37,763
He moves.

87
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:42,108
And so I always plan these at a minimum two weeks

88
00:07:42,150 --> 00:07:45,258
and preferably three weeks in the woods

89
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,718
to locate what I'm trying to find,

90
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,158
to find the evidence,

91
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,188
to find the information that tells me

92
00:07:52,230 --> 00:07:55,188
he's still present or what area he's in.

93
00:07:55,230 --> 00:07:58,008
It takes days and days of being in the woods,

94
00:07:58,050 --> 00:07:59,868
days and days of walking,

95
00:07:59,910 --> 00:08:01,188
even if you know where you're going,

96
00:08:01,230 --> 00:08:04,218
even if you know where you found him before.

97
00:08:04,260 --> 00:08:06,850
So that's why we usually do three weeks

98
00:08:07,770 --> 00:08:08,748
when I do these trips.

99
00:08:08,790 --> 00:08:10,128
And quite often I have to come alone.

100
00:08:10,170 --> 00:08:11,520
A lot of people can't come.

101
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,178
A lot of people aren't prepared.

102
00:08:14,220 --> 00:08:16,398
A lot of people aren't trained enough to do it.

103
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,098
I don't bring people out here

104
00:08:19,140 --> 00:08:22,113
that are untrained and might get themselves hurt.

105
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:25,278
So it takes time.

106
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:26,343
Time and patience.

107
00:08:27,192 --> 00:08:32,192
(bird chirping) (owl cooing)

108
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,960
There is evidence in these forests.

109
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,018
Finding it is not easy.

110
00:08:45,060 --> 00:08:47,223
Sometimes it's closer than you think.

111
00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:50,688
Hundreds square miles of woods,

112
00:08:50,730 --> 00:08:53,118
woods and woods and woods.

113
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,038
Oklahoma itself was a bandit state.

114
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,628
It was easy to hide here.

115
00:08:56,670 --> 00:08:58,728
Lots of criminal activity here.

116
00:08:58,770 --> 00:09:00,798
No telling how many people are buried in these woods

117
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,640
that we don't even know
about from the 1930s or earlier.

118
00:09:05,130 --> 00:09:09,243
Could a creature as big as me or bigger hide here?

119
00:09:10,110 --> 00:09:11,388
Absolutely.

120
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:13,788
I've been in these woods and had a bear walk right by me

121
00:09:13,830 --> 00:09:15,618
and I couldn't even see him.

122
00:09:15,660 --> 00:09:17,058
300-pound bear,

123
00:09:17,100 --> 00:09:18,993
stands about five feet tall.

124
00:09:19,890 --> 00:09:21,378
Couldn't see him.

125
00:09:21,420 --> 00:09:24,288
It's easy to hide evidence here,

126
00:09:24,330 --> 00:09:26,898
especially if you don't know what you're looking for.

127
00:09:26,940 --> 00:09:28,968
And then what makes it worse?

128
00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:32,478
All the guys putting out fake Bigfoot videos

129
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,098
and making evidence up.

130
00:09:34,140 --> 00:09:38,778
So it confuses the truth from illusion.

131
00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:42,678
Well, everything I'm showing you is here,

132
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,093
it is a fact, it was not created by me.

133
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,428
The question is, where does it lead us?

134
00:09:49,470 --> 00:09:51,828
Will it give us the evidence that we need?

135
00:09:51,870 --> 00:09:54,520
Will it tell us the facts that we need to know about?

136
00:09:55,650 --> 00:09:57,498
What is going on here for hundreds

137
00:09:57,540 --> 00:10:01,593
if not thousands of years right under a man's nose?

138
00:10:05,889 --> 00:10:08,722
(water splashing)

139
00:10:11,809 --> 00:10:14,988
Bigfoot is supposed to be a bringer of prophecy.

140
00:10:15,030 --> 00:10:17,568
They say if you go deep into forest to camp,

141
00:10:17,610 --> 00:10:19,293
he will appear in your dreams.

142
00:10:20,340 --> 00:10:23,178
They also claim if you sit there and meditate,

143
00:10:23,220 --> 00:10:25,670
he will appear in your mind and you can hear him.

144
00:10:27,510 --> 00:10:30,558
They say he can broaden your horizons.

145
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,063
He can give you understanding of truth.

146
00:10:35,490 --> 00:10:38,568
Well, I can tell you this,

147
00:10:38,610 --> 00:10:41,088
having sat out here many
times in the middle of nowhere

148
00:10:41,130 --> 00:10:45,093
in the deep, deep forest,
there may be some truth to that.

149
00:10:46,410 --> 00:10:49,863
They say Bigfoot shows up as a prophecy.

150
00:10:52,500 --> 00:10:57,500
He may show in your dreams
to prepare you for the unknown,

151
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,678
for something you may like or not like.

152
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,523
For unexpected events.

153
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,430
There may be some truth to that too

154
00:11:08,610 --> 00:11:10,600
because you get in here

155
00:11:12,991 --> 00:11:14,868
and it seems to broaden your mind.

156
00:11:14,910 --> 00:11:17,538
It seems that things come
to you that hadn't come to you.

157
00:11:17,580 --> 00:11:20,180
It seems that you look at things in a different way.

158
00:11:21,990 --> 00:11:24,378
Maybe that is Bigfoot speaking to us.

159
00:11:24,420 --> 00:11:27,553
Maybe it is his prophecy to help prepare us.

160
00:11:30,009 --> 00:11:35,009
(lightning crashing) (thunder rumbling)

161
00:11:37,217 --> 00:11:40,149
(eerie music) (rain pattering)

162
00:11:45,499 --> 00:11:48,499
(frogs singing)

163
00:12:02,935 --> 00:12:06,685
(crickets singing)

164
00:12:14,018 --> 00:12:17,768
(cat like squeal)

165
00:12:28,355 --> 00:12:32,105
(frogs croaking)

166
00:12:50,432 --> 00:12:51,265
(rain pattering)

167
00:12:54,257 --> 00:12:55,090
(thunder rumbling)

168
00:13:21,332 --> 00:13:23,915
(somber music)

169
00:13:28,384 --> 00:13:29,175
I'm here.

170
00:13:29,217 --> 00:13:30,008
I'm in the back of the truck

171
00:13:30,050 --> 00:13:32,298
where we created the observation station.

172
00:13:32,340 --> 00:13:34,668
I'm gonna give you an idea what it's like.

173
00:13:34,710 --> 00:13:36,441
We have a slot on the side of this

174
00:13:36,483 --> 00:13:38,868
that makes it hard for anything to see in,

175
00:13:38,910 --> 00:13:41,328
see what's going on or see if anybody's in here

176
00:13:41,370 --> 00:13:43,923
yet it makes it easy for me to get a photo.

177
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:58,160
As you can see, I can see way more than people realize.

178
00:13:58,230 --> 00:14:00,783
That's why I created this observation station.

179
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:07,288
Find some evidence here

180
00:14:07,330 --> 00:14:09,318
and I find some evidence there

181
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,198
and it starts to develop a pattern.

182
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,118
And so now when I come,

183
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,648
I come to these locations

184
00:14:15,690 --> 00:14:18,258
that I haven't found known evidence

185
00:14:18,300 --> 00:14:20,088
and I start to search from there.

186
00:14:20,130 --> 00:14:22,788
If I go to one area, there's nothing new,

187
00:14:22,830 --> 00:14:25,938
I go to the next area and I
continue checking these areas

188
00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:28,383
until I find the newest evidence.

189
00:14:29,250 --> 00:14:32,418
Something to tell me that
he's been moving in that area.

190
00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:36,513
It's easy for this creature to do 40 miles in a day.

191
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,920
So you have to locate where he is at the time.

192
00:14:44,402 --> 00:14:45,235
(birds chirping

193
00:14:50,568 --> 00:14:52,018
(foot steps)

194
00:15:10,372 --> 00:15:11,205
(birds continue chirping)

195
00:15:33,014 --> 00:15:33,847
(wind blowing)

196
00:15:44,547 --> 00:15:46,368
You get up on one of these ridges,

197
00:15:46,410 --> 00:15:49,563
you can hear something going
down below a long ways off.

198
00:15:51,090 --> 00:15:52,998
When you consider all that,

199
00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,718
you start to understand why it's so hard

200
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,548
to find one of these creatures

201
00:15:58,590 --> 00:16:00,798
and you start understanding the importance

202
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,708
of finding tracks and finding where he is been,

203
00:16:03,750 --> 00:16:08,750
finding remnant evidence to
help support what you're doing.

204
00:16:09,420 --> 00:16:14,133
That tells you areas that he
may be in or he may not be in.

205
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,303
Here's another print.

206
00:16:31,710 --> 00:16:34,008
See all the gravel here?

207
00:16:34,050 --> 00:16:36,663
See, it's less gravel got pushed into the mud.

208
00:16:38,190 --> 00:16:39,393
Heel down here.

209
00:16:46,890 --> 00:16:50,080
Okay, we are finding tracks

210
00:16:50,940 --> 00:16:55,940
and most of the tracks are old or they were washed out

211
00:16:58,050 --> 00:16:59,900
during the heavy rains the other day,

212
00:17:00,750 --> 00:17:03,648
but we are finding evidence.

213
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:05,058
Could it be a bear?

214
00:17:05,100 --> 00:17:05,891
Possibly.

215
00:17:05,933 --> 00:17:06,993
I don't think so.

216
00:17:07,890 --> 00:17:10,668
Some of the tracks are too long for a bear track.

217
00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:14,328
And we're just south of a known location

218
00:17:14,370 --> 00:17:17,988
where we found a lot of
evidence of the Kiamichi Beast.

219
00:17:18,030 --> 00:17:21,033
Some people, the locals, call it Kiamishi.

220
00:17:22,410 --> 00:17:24,738
If you go 40 miles east,

221
00:17:24,780 --> 00:17:26,973
you're into the Ouachita Beast territory.

222
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,318
And so there is a ridge that goes from here

223
00:17:30,360 --> 00:17:32,583
clean over there, strangely enough.

224
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,358
But I believe two different animals,

225
00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,600
two different creatures.

226
00:17:38,670 --> 00:17:40,128
We're gonna find out more.

227
00:17:40,170 --> 00:17:43,038
Later, we're probably gonna
move a little farther north

228
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,263
and follow the pattern of
movement that we're finding.

229
00:17:50,340 --> 00:17:52,068
Now these rock cliffs,

230
00:17:52,110 --> 00:17:54,075
you find them out in the middle of nowhere up here.

231
00:17:54,117 --> 00:17:55,488
You never know where you're gonna find them,

232
00:17:55,530 --> 00:18:00,530
but any of them could house a small cave

233
00:18:00,660 --> 00:18:03,438
with either a bear in it or Bigfoot

234
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,228
and you never know where you're gonna find them.

235
00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:08,868
They just appear outta the dirt

236
00:18:08,910 --> 00:18:13,068
and no telling what is living up in there.

237
00:18:13,110 --> 00:18:14,658
But we're taking a close look

238
00:18:14,700 --> 00:18:16,368
to see if anything is big enough

239
00:18:16,410 --> 00:18:18,903
to house shelter for Bigfoot.

240
00:18:21,750 --> 00:18:24,318
Wait a minute, something is broken.

241
00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,233
It's clean off.

242
00:18:26,820 --> 00:18:30,453
That's something's that big around snapped off.

243
00:18:33,180 --> 00:18:34,730
Could be a bear right in there.

244
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,038
You'd never know it.

245
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,343
You can get real close to them by accident

246
00:18:39,385 --> 00:18:41,218
and you don't want to.

247
00:18:44,985 --> 00:18:47,735
(birds chirping)

248
00:19:09,905 --> 00:19:13,405
(birds continue chirping)

249
00:19:29,947 --> 00:19:33,447
(foot steps on leaves)

250
00:19:44,817 --> 00:19:49,817
(birds continue chirping) (leaves rustling)

251
00:20:05,350 --> 00:20:08,298
Okay, if you find saplings out here

252
00:20:08,340 --> 00:20:11,178
that have been over and broke, that's not Bigfoot.

253
00:20:11,220 --> 00:20:12,813
That's often tree disease.

254
00:20:13,770 --> 00:20:15,858
Quite common in the forest.

255
00:20:15,900 --> 00:20:19,068
But when you find a sapling, that bigger round,

256
00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:24,110
that was snapped off, then you have got something.

257
00:20:25,110 --> 00:20:27,828
It takes a lot of force to snap it off

258
00:20:27,870 --> 00:20:31,698
so it's not been over and broke and sitting there,

259
00:20:31,740 --> 00:20:35,388
something just took hold of it and snapped it off.

260
00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:36,933
Could it have been a bear?

261
00:20:38,250 --> 00:20:39,798
Possible.

262
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,138
Bears don't have a thumb to grab a hold of something,

263
00:20:42,180 --> 00:20:45,063
but sometimes they'll take their paws and snap it off.

264
00:20:46,380 --> 00:20:50,643
The question is, was it a bear or was it the big man?

265
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:54,078
This ground is so rocky and hard.

266
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:55,953
It's hard to find any tracks on it.

267
00:20:57,990 --> 00:20:59,073
Nothing but rock.

268
00:21:11,310 --> 00:21:12,708
Mission.

269
00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:17,118
I'm checking out spots that I know for sure

270
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,263
have been used by the big man,

271
00:21:20,490 --> 00:21:24,318
but I have to check a lot of spots to locate him.

272
00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:28,818
Because of all the rain, it
washed away most of the tracks.

273
00:21:28,860 --> 00:21:31,743
So I'm gonna have to look twice as hard.

274
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:38,461
(eerie music)

275
00:21:59,542 --> 00:22:02,875
(eerie music continues)

276
00:22:13,742 --> 00:22:16,218
We're not gonna find any tracks around here.

277
00:22:16,260 --> 00:22:18,678
Too many boulders, too many rocks.

278
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,603
If we find a track, it's gonna be coming off the slope.

279
00:22:24,150 --> 00:22:26,928
And like an animal trail, deer trail or something,

280
00:22:26,970 --> 00:22:29,958
that's usually where I'll find the tracks.

281
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,668
There's enough soft soil around here.

282
00:22:31,710 --> 00:22:34,128
We might find a track along the creek

283
00:22:34,170 --> 00:22:36,378
farther away from the boulders.

284
00:22:36,420 --> 00:22:39,378
But the problem is there's so much leaf and mulch,

285
00:22:39,420 --> 00:22:41,280
it's difficult to spot them.

286
00:22:42,643 --> 00:22:43,476
(animals chittering)

287
00:22:50,518 --> 00:22:51,351
(footsteps)

288
00:23:24,580 --> 00:23:27,080
(eerie music)

289
00:23:46,202 --> 00:23:48,723
Better get inside, lock her up.

290
00:23:50,542 --> 00:23:52,368
It's so thick in here he could be right beside me

291
00:23:52,410 --> 00:23:53,617
and I couldn't see him.

292
00:23:55,092 --> 00:24:00,092
(eerie music) (breathes deeply)

293
00:24:12,478 --> 00:24:15,228
(birds chirping)

294
00:24:35,527 --> 00:24:39,027
(birds continue chirping)

295
00:25:03,900 --> 00:25:06,408
Now I'm gonna show you a shelter.

296
00:25:06,450 --> 00:25:08,718
And if you watch my other movies,

297
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,478
Kiamichi Beast Expedition,
Kiamichi Beast Expedition Two,

298
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,328
Trail of the Kiamichi Beast, you'll see more shelters.

299
00:25:14,370 --> 00:25:16,518
It is not just one shelter here.

300
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,338
There are groups of shelters through these forests.

301
00:25:19,380 --> 00:25:20,808
You just have to know where to look

302
00:25:20,850 --> 00:25:23,643
and then it's still very hard to find them.

303
00:25:24,990 --> 00:25:27,048
Anything could be out here in these woods.

304
00:25:27,090 --> 00:25:28,353
Anything literally.

305
00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:31,098
They tell you there's no cougars out here.

306
00:25:31,140 --> 00:25:32,703
There are cougars out here.

307
00:25:33,690 --> 00:25:34,893
You'll never see them.

308
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:37,548
There are bears out here.

309
00:25:37,590 --> 00:25:38,388
You may see a bear,

310
00:25:38,430 --> 00:25:40,638
but a lot of times you don't ever see a bear.

311
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,880
And there's a fair amount of bears out here.

312
00:25:44,430 --> 00:25:46,878
Well, come with me.

313
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:48,323
I'm gonna show you something.

314
00:25:52,628 --> 00:25:57,628
(birds chirping) (footsteps plodding)

315
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:16,280
Hidden amongst the rocks is
what most people never find.

316
00:26:16,740 --> 00:26:19,128
If they do accidentally walk across it,

317
00:26:19,170 --> 00:26:20,670
they don't realize what it is.

318
00:26:34,539 --> 00:26:36,622
Right here was a shelter.

319
00:26:42,690 --> 00:26:45,903
Now at one time these limbs were crossing.

320
00:26:48,150 --> 00:26:51,790
It is big enough for a large creature

321
00:26:56,340 --> 00:26:57,633
to sleep up in there.

322
00:26:58,830 --> 00:27:01,965
Easily something eight feet
when you cross this here.

323
00:27:02,007 --> 00:27:03,273
And one time,

324
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:08,410
these limbs

325
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:12,160
were stacked

326
00:27:14,940 --> 00:27:17,628
until this whole thing was covered.

327
00:27:17,670 --> 00:27:20,178
And so it looked like a pile of brush

328
00:27:20,220 --> 00:27:22,818
and you couldn't even see this tiny cave

329
00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:25,008
or this area between the rocks.

330
00:27:25,050 --> 00:27:25,841
Just totally hidden.

331
00:27:25,883 --> 00:27:27,918
You could walk right by and wouldn't know it.

332
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,138
But the thing is,

333
00:27:30,180 --> 00:27:35,180
these particular type of shelters are hand-made.

334
00:27:36,780 --> 00:27:39,378
It takes a pair of thumbs to make them.

335
00:27:39,420 --> 00:27:40,878
These knot limbs, you could just tell,

336
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:42,798
at one time this was covered with all the limbs.

337
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,228
I actually knew about this one several years ago

338
00:27:45,270 --> 00:27:46,061
when I saw it,

339
00:27:46,103 --> 00:27:48,771
and it was covered totally with limbs at that time,

340
00:27:48,813 --> 00:27:52,698
and these have just been broken down and rotted

341
00:27:52,740 --> 00:27:53,568
over a period of time.

342
00:27:53,610 --> 00:27:56,260
So it's been a long time since this shelter was used.

343
00:27:57,213 --> 00:28:00,213
(suspenseful music)

344
00:28:31,473 --> 00:28:32,306
(suspenseful music)

345
00:28:43,323 --> 00:28:44,156
(animals gibbering)

346
00:28:54,431 --> 00:28:55,265
(suspenseful music continues)

347
00:29:01,714 --> 00:29:02,547
(birds singing)

348
00:29:11,916 --> 00:29:14,916
(suspenseful music)

349
00:29:52,962 --> 00:29:55,795
(leaves rustling)

350
00:30:14,458 --> 00:30:17,208
(dove singing)

351
00:30:24,779 --> 00:30:27,529
(dove singing)

352
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:48,777
(owl hoots)

353
00:30:51,565 --> 00:30:54,315
(birds chirping)

354
00:30:55,224 --> 00:30:57,724
(eerie music)

355
00:31:30,045 --> 00:31:33,378
(eerie music continues)

356
00:31:41,820 --> 00:31:44,238
Now, when I move through
these forests looking for Bigfoot,

357
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,388
I try to be as quiet as possible most of the time.

358
00:31:47,430 --> 00:31:49,503
I do occasionally, but not a lot.

359
00:31:52,050 --> 00:31:54,843
Bigfoot, I don't want him to think I'm hostile.

360
00:31:55,740 --> 00:31:56,628
I wanna be quiet.

361
00:31:56,670 --> 00:31:59,388
I want him to allow to get close to me if he wants to,

362
00:31:59,430 --> 00:32:01,698
to look, to be curious.

363
00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:04,698
I don't want to do anything
to make him think I'm hostile.

364
00:32:04,740 --> 00:32:06,918
Going through the woods hollering and screaming,

365
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:08,268
it's not gonna work.

366
00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:09,708
He's an elusive creature.

367
00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:11,223
He's a quiet creature.

368
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,353
He's reserved.

369
00:32:15,570 --> 00:32:16,593
Get close to him?

370
00:32:18,090 --> 00:32:19,305
You have to do it his way.

371
00:32:19,347 --> 00:32:20,883
You can't do it your way.

372
00:32:22,702 --> 00:32:24,378
You have to be quiet.

373
00:32:24,420 --> 00:32:25,893
You have to be conservative.

374
00:32:26,850 --> 00:32:31,850
You have to understand that
this creature is elusive enough

375
00:32:33,270 --> 00:32:36,168
that if you make him think you're hostile at all,

376
00:32:36,210 --> 00:32:37,788
you'll never see him.

377
00:32:37,830 --> 00:32:39,303
He'll never come close.

378
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,518
Well, it's understanding the
creature what's important,

379
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,423
understanding how he thinks.

380
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:53,140
Quiet, elusive, protective

381
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,403
and he wants to stay hidden.

382
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,568
Now, for those of you that want to come

383
00:32:59,610 --> 00:33:01,758
on one of these excursions

384
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,698
and go through this wilderness
area is I wanna warn you,

385
00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:06,678
always be prepared.

386
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:07,938
Take it seriously.

387
00:33:07,980 --> 00:33:09,280
Let me show you something.

388
00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:14,553
Emergency gear.

389
00:33:16,260 --> 00:33:19,653
Hard start in case I lose my battery.

390
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,288
Tow rope,

391
00:33:22,330 --> 00:33:23,580
tow rope for emergencies.

392
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,133
It's full of emergency gear.

393
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:28,788
Emergency wire connectors.

394
00:33:28,830 --> 00:33:29,958
I'm gonna have to use some of those

395
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,968
'cause I tore the wire out from under the truck

396
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:32,960
a little while ago.

397
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,118
This is not a game coming out here.

398
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,128
This is real expedition.

399
00:33:40,170 --> 00:33:42,168
And you should take it seriously.

400
00:33:42,210 --> 00:33:45,738
If you decide to do something like this, be prepared.

401
00:33:45,780 --> 00:33:47,703
It is dangerous out here.

402
00:33:49,782 --> 00:33:50,868
Now, I don't usually do this,

403
00:33:50,910 --> 00:33:54,348
because I conceal informants' information

404
00:33:54,390 --> 00:33:56,268
to protect them when they call me

405
00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:59,493
and tell me about something,
Bigfoot or something else.

406
00:34:01,140 --> 00:34:02,058
As I've already said,

407
00:34:02,100 --> 00:34:05,028
I had several people did get through and contact me.

408
00:34:05,070 --> 00:34:08,193
I had this one very, very strange call.

409
00:34:09,150 --> 00:34:11,688
And well, it was actually a text message

410
00:34:11,730 --> 00:34:13,330
'cause you couldn't get through.

411
00:34:14,499 --> 00:34:15,290
And I got a text.

412
00:34:15,332 --> 00:34:17,808
I don't know how it came through up in the mountains.

413
00:34:17,850 --> 00:34:19,788
And I just gave a quick response.

414
00:34:19,830 --> 00:34:21,423
I can't talk to you by phone.

415
00:34:22,380 --> 00:34:25,518
And I got text back with information.

416
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,468
Now, I don't know if the person

417
00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:30,438
was trying to warn me about the Bigfoot

418
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,093
that was apparently very
close to where I was searching.

419
00:34:34,135 --> 00:34:38,223
I assume he's guessing where I was searching.

420
00:34:40,290 --> 00:34:43,278
But he did send me information about that.

421
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,228
I have concealed his phone number.

422
00:34:45,270 --> 00:34:46,338
I'm gonna let you read it.

423
00:34:46,380 --> 00:34:50,943
This text actually was sent
to me during the expedition.

424
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,478
And so I'll let you read it real quick.

425
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,603
So as you can see,

426
00:34:55,740 --> 00:34:58,218
claiming there's clan of Bigfoot there.

427
00:34:58,260 --> 00:34:59,568
And I, again,

428
00:34:59,610 --> 00:35:03,708
I don't know if he's trying to give me a warning

429
00:35:03,750 --> 00:35:06,648
for safety reasons or if he has some other reason,

430
00:35:06,690 --> 00:35:07,818
I don't know.

431
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:09,691
But I didn't call the phone number back.

432
00:35:09,733 --> 00:35:11,493
I couldn't have at the time anyway.

433
00:35:12,936 --> 00:35:15,936
(suspenseful music)

434
00:35:29,697 --> 00:35:33,530
(suspenseful music continues)

435
00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:57,678
Now, for those of you that don't believe

436
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:59,133
in Bigfoot's prophecy,

437
00:36:01,650 --> 00:36:04,443
there are thousands of American natives that do.

438
00:36:05,940 --> 00:36:08,418
They believe they can speak to their spirit animals

439
00:36:08,460 --> 00:36:10,518
and have for thousands of years.

440
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:11,660
It's in their history.

441
00:36:13,260 --> 00:36:14,868
I can tell you this,

442
00:36:14,910 --> 00:36:18,273
as somebody has spent weeks
and weeks alone in the woods,

443
00:36:20,130 --> 00:36:23,658
the woods speak, nature speaks.

444
00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:25,173
All you have to do is listen.

445
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,988
After a while, you can even hear the animals' thoughts.

446
00:36:33,030 --> 00:36:36,903
So why couldn't I hear the prophecy of Bigfoot?

447
00:36:40,727 --> 00:36:41,560
It's there,

448
00:36:43,260 --> 00:36:47,103
but you can't hear it going on a weekend.

449
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,998
It takes time.

450
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,473
You have to go in for long periods of time.

451
00:36:54,090 --> 00:36:57,438
Quiet, desolate areas.

452
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,013
You have to clear your mind.

453
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:02,033
Bigfoot?

454
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,843
The prophecy?

455
00:37:04,980 --> 00:37:06,003
I think it's true.

456
00:37:07,050 --> 00:37:10,503
I know that you can hear the thoughts of the animals.

457
00:37:12,090 --> 00:37:13,428
You're not alone.

458
00:37:13,470 --> 00:37:15,003
The forest is alive.

459
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,833
Many, many people have heard Bigfoot's prophecy.

460
00:37:25,620 --> 00:37:27,153
All I can say is this.

461
00:37:30,060 --> 00:37:35,060
Until you have spent a lot of hours alone the woods,

462
00:37:35,940 --> 00:37:38,208
in desolate places,

463
00:37:38,250 --> 00:37:42,160
and until you learn to go in and let go of the world

464
00:37:43,590 --> 00:37:46,233
and sit with the animals, the spirit guides,

465
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,890
you can't hear anything but the shatter of your mind.

466
00:37:51,900 --> 00:37:54,150
That's the whole point of Bigfoot's prophecy.

467
00:37:56,550 --> 00:38:00,978
Yes, there's more goes on in the woods than you think.

468
00:38:01,020 --> 00:38:02,463
More than you ever believed.

469
00:38:04,350 --> 00:38:05,183
It's there,

470
00:38:06,180 --> 00:38:08,330
but you have to go and you have to seek it.

471
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:13,683
As I said, thousands of American Indians, natives,

472
00:38:14,730 --> 00:38:17,148
have said they have heard the spirit animals speak

473
00:38:17,190 --> 00:38:18,063
and guide them.

474
00:38:19,170 --> 00:38:20,343
Nothing new there.

475
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:23,390
Maybe it's just the way you think about it.

476
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,508
Now there's no way to search thousands

477
00:38:26,550 --> 00:38:28,308
and thousands of acres.

478
00:38:28,350 --> 00:38:30,498
What I do is I go to areas

479
00:38:30,540 --> 00:38:34,180
that I have found previous evidence of Bigfoot

480
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,258
over the years.

481
00:38:36,300 --> 00:38:37,091
We're talking about,

482
00:38:37,133 --> 00:38:40,338
I've been coming up here over 15 years probably.

483
00:38:40,380 --> 00:38:44,868
And over those periods of
time I've found certain spots,

484
00:38:44,910 --> 00:38:48,348
numerous times, have evidence.

485
00:38:48,390 --> 00:38:49,518
And that's what I do.

486
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:53,358
I go and I check those spots and I start from there.

487
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:55,893
Newest evidence is where I start.

488
00:38:56,910 --> 00:38:58,053
But otherwise,

489
00:39:00,150 --> 00:39:03,078
thousands and thousands and thousands of acres,

490
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:05,570
they're not walking around here and finding them.

491
00:39:08,700 --> 00:39:10,743
Here's another ring of stone.

492
00:39:11,580 --> 00:39:13,848
It would look like a camp place fire,

493
00:39:13,890 --> 00:39:15,790
but there's never been a fire in this.

494
00:39:16,770 --> 00:39:18,270
So what's the purpose of this?

495
00:39:21,603 --> 00:39:24,186
(somber music)

496
00:39:33,110 --> 00:39:34,038
It is been a difficult trip.

497
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:36,618
We're already five days into the trip.

498
00:39:36,660 --> 00:39:40,908
We have almost zero
communication with other people.

499
00:39:40,950 --> 00:39:43,878
We've gotten a couple of information

500
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:47,298
or questions sent to us via text message

501
00:39:47,340 --> 00:39:49,788
and that's very, very sporadic.

502
00:39:49,830 --> 00:39:51,048
Some people are asking me why

503
00:39:51,090 --> 00:39:53,298
we hadn't put a camper on this truck.

504
00:39:53,340 --> 00:39:55,788
Well, the roads are so rough and rugged where I go,

505
00:39:55,830 --> 00:39:58,338
the camper would cause the
four-wheel drive to overturn.

506
00:39:58,380 --> 00:40:00,918
There's no way you could take it up that trail.

507
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,628
So I developed this.

508
00:40:02,670 --> 00:40:04,728
It uses a blind.

509
00:40:04,770 --> 00:40:06,228
It does several things.

510
00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:07,758
It's lightweight.

511
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,398
It can handle the four-wheel drive road.

512
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,278
And it allows me to look out.

513
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,308
There's slots in it where I can take photos,

514
00:40:16,350 --> 00:40:18,168
I can pull up to a very dense spot,

515
00:40:18,210 --> 00:40:21,828
sit there and take photos
in the observation station.

516
00:40:21,870 --> 00:40:25,758
It's also been lined and the roof is protected.

517
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,758
In case the weather goes real, real bad on us,

518
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:31,068
it will repel heavy hell.

519
00:40:31,110 --> 00:40:34,458
And so it was a win-win situation to develop this.

520
00:40:34,500 --> 00:40:36,738
It's light, it's mobile,

521
00:40:36,780 --> 00:40:38,568
it was inexpensive

522
00:40:38,610 --> 00:40:42,858
and I can tarp it over and rain's not getting in.

523
00:40:42,900 --> 00:40:46,608
So that's why we did it this
way instead of buying a camper.

524
00:40:46,650 --> 00:40:49,938
There's no way in the world in the rugged spots I go

525
00:40:49,980 --> 00:40:53,538
that a camper would work on the back of this truck.

526
00:40:53,580 --> 00:40:57,708
So that's one thing I wanted to address.

527
00:40:57,750 --> 00:40:59,118
People want to know where we are.

528
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:00,860
We don't tell people where we are.

529
00:41:11,763 --> 00:41:16,763
(owl cooing) (birds chirping)

530
00:41:25,170 --> 00:41:27,078
Where everything is stacked.

531
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,138
It looks like something
had a little mini shelter there

532
00:41:29,180 --> 00:41:30,123
at one time.

533
00:41:52,825 --> 00:41:55,325
(eerie music)

534
00:42:18,244 --> 00:42:20,808
I know early, early in the morning when I'm searching,

535
00:42:20,850 --> 00:42:22,278
something's watching me,

536
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,228
it's watching me from the real thick brush,

537
00:42:24,270 --> 00:42:26,628
watching me up on the ridges.

538
00:42:26,670 --> 00:42:29,778
So thick up there, I can't see what it can be.

539
00:42:29,820 --> 00:42:30,611
I can't tell.

540
00:42:30,653 --> 00:42:32,478
I just know I'm being watched.

541
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,758
And it's always happening early in the morning,

542
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,608
because at night, nighttime, as soon as it gets dark,

543
00:42:37,650 --> 00:42:42,650
I'm going into the back of
the truck and trying to record.

544
00:42:43,110 --> 00:42:44,838
But when I get out early in the morning

545
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,538
and I'm out there in that thick, thick brush,

546
00:42:47,580 --> 00:42:49,330
I can tell something's watching me.

547
00:42:51,270 --> 00:42:52,263
Not sure yet.

548
00:42:53,250 --> 00:42:56,358
Hopefully, we'll get a look at it

549
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,728
and maybe it'll give me an idea.

550
00:42:58,770 --> 00:43:01,308
But it's really, really hard in that thick brush

551
00:43:01,350 --> 00:43:02,343
to see anything.

552
00:43:03,209 --> 00:43:06,209
(suspenseful music)

553
00:43:18,377 --> 00:43:21,127
I have seen in the past 15 years,

554
00:43:22,487 --> 00:43:23,278
there've been rare occasions

555
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,160
where I've seen movement in the daytime.

556
00:43:26,700 --> 00:43:27,678
Most of the time,

557
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:31,098
I know that the most activity will be at nighttime

558
00:43:31,140 --> 00:43:33,633
'cause it's much harder to identify him.

559
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:39,498
If he comes in close, it's
usually going to be at nighttime.

560
00:43:39,540 --> 00:43:42,910
The one photo I have that we believe was a Bigfoot

561
00:43:43,860 --> 00:43:46,038
was probably taking it a hundred yards away.

562
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,023
Unfortunately, using a cell phone on a scope.

563
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,060
But there was clearly something there.

564
00:43:53,070 --> 00:43:54,798
And that's about as close

565
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:57,828
as we normally have a chance
of getting during the daytime

566
00:43:57,870 --> 00:43:58,833
to this creature.

567
00:43:59,700 --> 00:44:03,228
Nighttime, if they're curious enough,

568
00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:05,373
they'll sometimes come into the camp.

569
00:44:06,330 --> 00:44:09,198
I do look around the woods a little at night,

570
00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:11,748
not a lot because I've found that

571
00:44:11,790 --> 00:44:14,928
letting them be curious works better

572
00:44:14,970 --> 00:44:18,018
than trying to track him at night and be active.

573
00:44:18,060 --> 00:44:19,578
You're not gonna out track him,

574
00:44:19,620 --> 00:44:21,168
you're not gonna out gone him.

575
00:44:21,210 --> 00:44:23,973
This is his territory, this is his kingdom.

576
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:27,903
We're gonna see what happens.

577
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,683
Hopefully, the truth will come out.

578
00:44:32,790 --> 00:44:36,303
If nothing else, the evidence will keep piling up.

579
00:44:39,210 --> 00:44:40,623
Now this is strange.

580
00:44:41,820 --> 00:44:44,223
You see this rock outcropping.

581
00:44:45,660 --> 00:44:47,148
Nothing strange about that.

582
00:44:47,190 --> 00:44:48,740
Let me show you what's strange.

583
00:44:50,850 --> 00:44:52,563
Let's uncover it here.

584
00:44:53,670 --> 00:44:54,513
See all that?

585
00:44:56,970 --> 00:44:57,933
There was a fire.

586
00:44:59,190 --> 00:45:02,043
Some people believe Bigfoot can light fires,

587
00:45:03,810 --> 00:45:06,273
but this is head behind this outcropping.

588
00:45:07,110 --> 00:45:08,433
This was not a camper.

589
00:45:17,156 --> 00:45:19,656
(eerie music)

590
00:45:38,828 --> 00:45:41,245
(owl cooing)

591
00:45:46,457 --> 00:45:47,598
Now, I smell rotten flesh

592
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,088
and usually when I smell rotten flesh,

593
00:45:50,130 --> 00:45:52,518
Bigfoot is somewhere close.

594
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:54,258
Quite often that's where I find bones,

595
00:45:54,300 --> 00:45:55,773
sometimes fresh bones.

596
00:45:57,318 --> 00:45:59,818
(eerie music)

597
00:46:09,586 --> 00:46:14,586
(water splashing) (eerie music continues)

598
00:46:18,115 --> 00:46:21,532
And those rocks stacked right over there.

599
00:46:23,940 --> 00:46:25,863
I found stacked rocks before,

600
00:46:27,630 --> 00:46:28,668
right in a creek,

601
00:46:28,710 --> 00:46:31,560
stacked one on top of the
other in the middle of nowhere.

602
00:46:36,690 --> 00:46:37,848
Well, the wind's coming up.

603
00:46:37,890 --> 00:46:39,438
That's not gonna help me.

604
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,968
I'm here back in the truck
getting prepared for the night.

605
00:46:44,010 --> 00:46:46,878
I'm going to be out there tonight in the woods.

606
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:48,588
We're gonna see what we can find.

607
00:46:48,630 --> 00:46:50,748
Now, right here in this particular area,

608
00:46:50,790 --> 00:46:53,298
I don't have to worry about stepping off a ridge.

609
00:46:53,340 --> 00:46:54,888
I do have to worry about the gully.

610
00:46:54,930 --> 00:46:56,718
So it's easy to get hurt,

611
00:46:56,760 --> 00:46:59,778
which is one reason I refrain

612
00:46:59,820 --> 00:47:02,598
from going out in the dark in these areas.

613
00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,218
It's very rough, it's very rugged.

614
00:47:04,260 --> 00:47:05,051
I am alone.

615
00:47:05,093 --> 00:47:07,533
If I get hurt, nobody may find me.

616
00:47:08,370 --> 00:47:09,948
But I am getting prepared.

617
00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:12,991
We're gonna see what we can come up with tonight.

618
00:47:13,033 --> 00:47:16,033
(frog singing)

619
00:47:37,783 --> 00:47:39,841
(Knocking sound)

620
00:47:43,216 --> 00:47:44,049
(animals screams)

621
00:47:58,964 --> 00:47:59,797
(frogs croaking)

622
00:48:03,789 --> 00:48:04,622
( animal screams)

623
00:48:12,772 --> 00:48:16,522
(animals continue gibbering)

624
00:48:52,207 --> 00:48:55,040
(breathes deeply)

625
00:49:00,383 --> 00:49:01,216
(animals growl)

626
00:49:06,174 --> 00:49:07,007
( wind blowing)

627
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,228
Well, I'm back here in the back of the truck

628
00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:23,628
trying to clean this mess up.

629
00:49:23,670 --> 00:49:25,128
And I've had two nights

630
00:49:25,170 --> 00:49:26,508
that something really weird happened.

631
00:49:26,550 --> 00:49:30,708
I'm in a small, you might say valley right now.

632
00:49:30,750 --> 00:49:32,418
I've got a tall ridge, a short ridge,

633
00:49:32,460 --> 00:49:34,068
and I'm in a small valley.

634
00:49:34,110 --> 00:49:36,018
Wind is sort of weird here.

635
00:49:36,060 --> 00:49:37,143
I don't know why.

636
00:49:38,130 --> 00:49:42,918
And the other night, I put my tarp over the cab

637
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,588
'cause I've got the slots in it for shooting movies

638
00:49:45,630 --> 00:49:47,178
and taking pictures.

639
00:49:47,220 --> 00:49:48,798
So I've got a tarp, I cover it over.

640
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:50,928
The tarp is so big, it covers the whole truck.

641
00:49:50,970 --> 00:49:52,068
It covers the whole bag,

642
00:49:52,110 --> 00:49:54,483
and it hangs off the end, the big tarp.

643
00:49:56,423 --> 00:49:59,178
And I woke up to hear a sound,

644
00:49:59,220 --> 00:50:01,810
sound like something lifting up the tarp

645
00:50:02,730 --> 00:50:03,963
and then bam!

646
00:50:05,430 --> 00:50:09,018
The whole tarp is yanked off
towards the end of the truck

647
00:50:09,060 --> 00:50:10,098
that I enter.

648
00:50:10,140 --> 00:50:12,123
Whole tarp gone.

649
00:50:13,020 --> 00:50:15,468
Well, there was a little wind and I'm thinking,

650
00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:18,940
you know, god, what was that?

651
00:50:18,982 --> 00:50:19,773
You know, it can't be the wind.

652
00:50:19,815 --> 00:50:21,183
The wind's not that strong.

653
00:50:22,410 --> 00:50:25,353
But it was sort of really spooky to wake up and have to,

654
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:28,503
you know, see your tarp being yanked off.

655
00:50:29,550 --> 00:50:33,858
And so, the following night,

656
00:50:33,900 --> 00:50:36,618
I went ahead just in case it was a wind

657
00:50:36,660 --> 00:50:40,803
and I put the tarp on and I tied it down this time.

658
00:50:42,030 --> 00:50:46,218
So I wake up again, I'm hearing this sound.

659
00:50:46,260 --> 00:50:49,038
It sounds like something's getting up under the tarp.

660
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,168
All of a sudden, you know,

661
00:50:51,210 --> 00:50:54,858
I can see right above the end here,

662
00:50:54,900 --> 00:50:57,618
I can see the tarp, that's why we have a tarp over,

663
00:50:57,660 --> 00:50:59,410
and I see the tarp all of a sudden,

664
00:51:00,270 --> 00:51:02,628
and it's all of a sudden drawn tight

665
00:51:02,670 --> 00:51:04,668
like it was trying to drag it off the end again.

666
00:51:04,710 --> 00:51:06,438
But it was tied down and it couldn't.

667
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:09,738
But I saw that tarp lift up, all right?

668
00:51:09,780 --> 00:51:12,138
Now there's not enough wind to do it,

669
00:51:12,180 --> 00:51:14,163
but I saw that tarp lift up,

670
00:51:15,090 --> 00:51:18,873
and then when it wouldn't go, it dropped back down.

671
00:51:20,460 --> 00:51:22,428
And I'm trying to look outside, I can't see anything.

672
00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:23,988
I don't know what's going on.

673
00:51:24,030 --> 00:51:26,358
All I know is that was real weird.

674
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:27,888
And like I said,

675
00:51:27,930 --> 00:51:29,988
the first night it happened it was sort of scary,

676
00:51:30,030 --> 00:51:32,118
'cause my whole tarp's gone.

677
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:34,818
But I thought, let's be practical.

678
00:51:34,860 --> 00:51:36,858
Maybe you had a gust of wind.

679
00:51:36,900 --> 00:51:37,938
Second night it happened,

680
00:51:37,980 --> 00:51:39,888
there was no gust of wind.

681
00:51:39,930 --> 00:51:42,108
I could hear something getting under the tarp.

682
00:51:42,150 --> 00:51:46,548
And I saw that tarp yank up here towards the end

683
00:51:46,590 --> 00:51:47,913
and be drawn tight.

684
00:51:49,230 --> 00:51:51,318
And when it wouldn't go 'cause it was tied down,

685
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:52,533
it was just released.

686
00:51:53,850 --> 00:51:55,398
Can't explain that.

687
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:57,618
I couldn't see anything.

688
00:51:57,660 --> 00:52:00,078
And it was dark out here.

689
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,223
But, you know, that's spooky.

690
00:52:03,210 --> 00:52:05,358
Now, I've had these strange events

691
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,638
like the tarp being yanked off the trailer before.

692
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:10,068
I've been coming up here for years.

693
00:52:10,110 --> 00:52:13,428
Last year, I think I got closer
to Bigfoot than ever before

694
00:52:13,470 --> 00:52:16,398
when I was awakened from a hammock

695
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,588
growling right there in the camp.

696
00:52:18,630 --> 00:52:20,568
It's pitch black.

697
00:52:20,610 --> 00:52:25,308
And I jump up to try to get my flashlight and my camera

698
00:52:25,350 --> 00:52:28,263
and a strange whistle came off the hill.

699
00:52:30,360 --> 00:52:31,398
He disappeared.

700
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:32,853
He's gone in a blink.

701
00:52:34,020 --> 00:52:36,078
I grabbed up my camera and light and searched,

702
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:37,338
but he's already outta the camp.

703
00:52:37,380 --> 00:52:38,223
He's gone.

704
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:41,598
So it is spooky up here.

705
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:42,828
I've had one guy tell me

706
00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:44,973
he will not spend a night in these woods.

707
00:52:47,986 --> 00:52:50,819
(water splashing)

708
00:53:02,027 --> 00:53:04,527
(eerie music)

709
00:53:13,666 --> 00:53:14,748
Well, a lot of people ask me,

710
00:53:14,790 --> 00:53:16,473
aren't I afraid to be out here?

711
00:53:18,450 --> 00:53:21,078
There's not too many stories
of Bigfoot hurting anybody.

712
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:21,911
Could it happen?

713
00:53:21,953 --> 00:53:23,388
Yes, it could.

714
00:53:23,430 --> 00:53:24,888
But actually I'm a little more afraid

715
00:53:24,930 --> 00:53:26,380
of the bears and the cougars.

716
00:53:27,810 --> 00:53:29,403
Those are known to kill people.

717
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:31,353
They're out here.

718
00:53:34,430 --> 00:53:36,018
Have to face your fear sometime.

719
00:53:36,060 --> 00:53:37,960
That's the only way to find the truth.

720
00:53:39,180 --> 00:53:41,433
Well, it's an experience.

721
00:53:43,710 --> 00:53:46,173
Maybe one I'll be telling my grandkids someday.

722
00:53:48,940 --> 00:53:51,440
(eerie music)

723
00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:03,078
From my location up on one of the ridges down lower,

724
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,878
a big fog was coming.

725
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,038
I mean a dense, heavy fog.

726
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,438
I don't like to be up there when those fogs come.

727
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:11,268
There are things walking in that fog

728
00:54:11,310 --> 00:54:13,098
that you don't even wanna meet.

729
00:54:13,140 --> 00:54:15,318
Dangerous, really dangerous.

730
00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,423
So I moved to a lower location
and then move farther down.

731
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:20,928
We'll be fine here.

732
00:54:20,970 --> 00:54:22,878
Night's coming again.

733
00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:24,153
Let's see what happens.

734
00:54:27,270 --> 00:54:28,103
Or not.

735
00:54:29,310 --> 00:54:30,873
Looks harmless enough.

736
00:54:31,710 --> 00:54:33,060
Let me teach you something.

737
00:54:56,310 --> 00:54:58,653
That is a huge bone.

738
00:55:04,260 --> 00:55:06,423
I think maybe we're in Squatch territory.

739
00:55:09,300 --> 00:55:12,448
Now, the reason I'm wearing
this bright orange right now,

740
00:55:12,490 --> 00:55:15,108
where in the area where the hunting's going on

741
00:55:15,150 --> 00:55:16,608
and I'm required by the law to wear it.

742
00:55:16,650 --> 00:55:17,523
I don't like it.

743
00:55:19,110 --> 00:55:20,898
But I have to wear it.

744
00:55:20,940 --> 00:55:24,731
But we're almost in a Squatch-like area right here.

745
00:55:24,773 --> 00:55:26,958
I mean, this is really,

746
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,583
and I just found a huge, huge bone here.

747
00:55:31,740 --> 00:55:32,853
Looking at that rib.

748
00:55:34,115 --> 00:55:36,465
It was literally tore out of something's chest.

749
00:55:39,297 --> 00:55:41,797
(eerie music)

750
00:56:15,827 --> 00:56:18,438
I wanna remind everybody
again, what I am doing is real.

751
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,508
It's not a fake TV show.

752
00:56:20,550 --> 00:56:22,698
And it is dangerous.

753
00:56:22,740 --> 00:56:25,240
As you can tell by this bone, something died here.

754
00:56:28,515 --> 00:56:29,749
And even with these boots on it's tough up here

755
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,258
especially carrying this camera.

756
00:56:33,300 --> 00:56:35,118
It's hard to balance.

757
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:36,860
At least I didn't go in the river.

758
00:56:40,857 --> 00:56:43,690
(water splashing)

759
00:56:53,850 --> 00:56:55,458
I have to be careful.

760
00:56:55,500 --> 00:56:56,853
It's easy to get hurt here.

761
00:57:10,770 --> 00:57:13,188
Gonna watch out for the rattlesnakes too.

762
00:57:13,230 --> 00:57:14,730
This is a great spot for them.

763
00:57:40,025 --> 00:57:42,692
(coughs loudly)

764
00:57:57,155 --> 00:57:59,905
(birds chirping)

765
00:58:03,303 --> 00:58:05,448
I guarantee you this is as Squatchy as you can get.

766
00:58:05,490 --> 00:58:07,488
This area right here.

767
00:58:07,530 --> 00:58:11,193
And this area where we found this bone.

768
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:15,378
Real.

769
00:58:15,420 --> 00:58:16,398
Not made up.

770
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:17,628
It's real.

771
00:58:17,670 --> 00:58:20,703
There's no telling what is close to us right now.

772
00:58:24,508 --> 00:58:27,341
(leaves rustling)

773
00:59:12,990 --> 00:59:14,388
We located this bone.

774
00:59:14,430 --> 00:59:17,118
This is in fact, I verified, a rib.

775
00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:18,393
It is a rib bone.

776
00:59:19,290 --> 00:59:22,030
And the strange thing is we located this

777
00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,378
in the edge of the river,

778
00:59:27,420 --> 00:59:31,128
just below what appeared to be a big bed of mulch,

779
00:59:31,170 --> 00:59:34,008
a big bed of mulch where it appears something

780
00:59:34,050 --> 00:59:36,678
was laying there 'cause it was all packed down.

781
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:40,128
But there had been a bunch of mulch scraped together.

782
00:59:40,170 --> 00:59:41,268
And cedar mulch,

783
00:59:41,310 --> 00:59:43,068
all cedar trees around it.

784
00:59:43,110 --> 00:59:46,068
It had been scraped together and created,

785
00:59:46,110 --> 00:59:50,448
I guess you'd say a mat or a bed.

786
00:59:50,490 --> 00:59:53,058
And you could tell something was laying on it

787
00:59:53,100 --> 00:59:54,663
because it was compressed.

788
00:59:57,240 --> 00:59:59,358
I'm not sure what that means.

789
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,068
I only know it means that there was some animal

790
01:00:01,110 --> 01:00:02,988
that was there.

791
01:00:03,030 --> 01:00:04,548
That it was laying in mulch.

792
01:00:04,590 --> 01:00:07,728
It apparently is a big animal and it's very, very heavy.

793
01:00:07,770 --> 01:00:08,973
This bone.

794
01:00:11,700 --> 01:00:12,873
It's not human bone.

795
01:00:16,170 --> 01:00:18,438
What other animal could it be?

796
01:00:18,480 --> 01:00:21,078
Well, some will say a cow bone.

797
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,498
Well, normally a cow bone is a lot bigger than this.

798
01:00:24,540 --> 01:00:29,028
And there are no cattle in that area.

799
01:00:29,070 --> 01:00:30,348
I mean, this is back in the wilderness.

800
01:00:30,390 --> 01:00:32,958
There are no cattle in that area.

801
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,358
Somebody asked, well, could it be a Bigfoot bone?

802
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,303
Bigfoot rib?

803
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:38,111
I don't know.

804
01:00:38,153 --> 01:00:40,218
Since we had no Bigfoot DNA,

805
01:00:40,260 --> 01:00:43,038
there's no way I can verify that it is or not.

806
01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:46,338
All I can verify is that we found this bone

807
01:00:46,380 --> 01:00:50,508
below a big bed of mulch

808
01:00:50,550 --> 01:00:53,320
in which some large animal had been laying in

809
01:00:54,390 --> 01:00:55,968
and it was right in the edge of the creek.

810
01:00:56,010 --> 01:00:59,058
It was right on the edge of actually more of a river.

811
01:00:59,100 --> 01:01:00,033
It's pretty big.

812
01:01:02,100 --> 01:01:04,398
So we're finding stuff.

813
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:05,493
It's interesting.

814
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:07,638
Why is it there?

815
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,078
What put it there?

816
01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:11,508
I don't know, I'd like to find out.

817
01:01:11,550 --> 01:01:14,358
But there is evidence that
there is a large animal there.

818
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:15,378
There's evidence,

819
01:01:15,420 --> 01:01:16,788
there's a bone,

820
01:01:16,830 --> 01:01:19,428
there's photographs of me picking it up.

821
01:01:19,470 --> 01:01:20,430
It's all real.

822
01:01:24,493 --> 01:01:27,076
(somber music)

823
01:01:55,535 --> 01:01:58,952
(somber music continues)

824
01:02:24,084 --> 01:02:27,501
(somber music continues)

825
01:02:49,020 --> 01:02:50,058
Wind's blowing pretty hard.

826
01:02:50,100 --> 01:02:52,458
It looks like a storm may be coming up.

827
01:02:52,500 --> 01:02:54,351
A lot of people laugh about Bigfoot.

828
01:02:54,393 --> 01:02:55,908
They have no clue.

829
01:02:55,950 --> 01:02:58,878
They have no clue how big these forests are up here.

830
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,488
Over a million acres alone in just Arkansas,

831
01:03:01,530 --> 01:03:04,758
not counting all the land in Oklahoma

832
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,278
or the top part of Texas.

833
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:09,213
It's huge. It's rugged.

834
01:03:10,500 --> 01:03:11,808
There's plenty of game there.

835
01:03:11,850 --> 01:03:12,678
There's nuts.

836
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:13,878
There's acorns.

837
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:14,928
There's hogs.

838
01:03:14,970 --> 01:03:16,368
There's wild deer.

839
01:03:16,410 --> 01:03:18,348
There is food to eat there.

840
01:03:18,390 --> 01:03:22,878
Yes, it is possible because the bears exist there.

841
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:27,168
If a bear can exist there, why
couldn't Bigfoot exist there?

842
01:03:27,210 --> 01:03:29,763
Bears are used 300 pounds.

843
01:03:31,650 --> 01:03:33,408
They don't care if you see them or not.

844
01:03:33,450 --> 01:03:34,848
Bigfoot does.

845
01:03:34,890 --> 01:03:35,958
That's the difference.

846
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:38,238
Bigfoot's more intelligent than a bear.

847
01:03:38,280 --> 01:03:41,418
But you can still walk right by a bear in there

848
01:03:41,460 --> 01:03:42,840
and never even see them.

849
01:03:43,965 --> 01:03:46,465
(eerie music)

850
01:04:12,968 --> 01:04:16,301
(eerie music continues)

851
01:04:20,927 --> 01:04:23,677
(birds chirping)

852
01:04:52,001 --> 01:04:55,685
(birds continue chirping)

853
01:04:55,727 --> 01:05:00,727
(water splashing) (leaves rustling)

854
01:05:30,688 --> 01:05:35,688
(water splashing) (birds chirping)

855
01:06:04,986 --> 01:06:09,986
(water splashing) (birds chirping)

856
01:06:30,949 --> 01:06:35,949
(water splashing) (birds chirping)

857
01:06:54,230 --> 01:06:55,458
It is chilly this morning.

858
01:06:55,500 --> 01:06:57,663
But this is an excellent vantage point.

859
01:06:58,710 --> 01:06:59,958
I can watch this little valley.

860
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,683
I can watch the top of the hill.

861
01:07:07,827 --> 01:07:10,660
(bird chittering)

862
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,358
Well, I've been pretty lucky so far.

863
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:18,588
I'm going through these ridges

864
01:07:18,630 --> 01:07:19,758
and these gullies and everything

865
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,168
and I hadn't seen a single snake.

866
01:07:21,210 --> 01:07:23,418
I've been real lucky 'cause
it's still warm enough for them,

867
01:07:23,460 --> 01:07:24,813
big rattlers to be out.

868
01:07:25,974 --> 01:07:28,474
(eerie music)

869
01:07:40,170 --> 01:07:42,138
Did run across a big raccoon,

870
01:07:42,180 --> 01:07:44,208
that raccoon was big enough to ride to town.

871
01:07:44,250 --> 01:07:45,333
I mean, it's big.

872
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:47,328
A lot of people don't realize

873
01:07:47,370 --> 01:07:48,798
you gotta steer clear of them things.

874
01:07:48,840 --> 01:07:52,608
They've sorta got bad
temperament and they will attack.

875
01:07:52,650 --> 01:07:53,838
You don't have to worry about a possum,

876
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:57,153
but the raccoons, they will attack.

877
01:07:58,260 --> 01:08:01,456
So there's a lot of things you gotta watch out for here.

878
01:08:01,498 --> 01:08:03,998
(eerie music)

879
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:07,323
There's strange stuff I find up here.

880
01:08:08,580 --> 01:08:12,633
It's some kind of fluorescent blue mushroom.

881
01:08:31,440 --> 01:08:33,468
I've never seen anything like that one before.

882
01:08:33,510 --> 01:08:35,388
And I've been up here a lot of times.

883
01:08:35,430 --> 01:08:37,308
I see some strange things up here,

884
01:08:37,350 --> 01:08:39,033
but a fluorescent blue mushroom.

885
01:08:40,250 --> 01:08:42,833
(somber music)

886
01:08:49,139 --> 01:08:50,298
A lot of people laugh about Bigfoot

887
01:08:50,340 --> 01:08:51,768
existing in these forests,

888
01:08:51,810 --> 01:08:54,393
over a million acres just here in Arkansas alone.

889
01:08:55,410 --> 01:08:57,558
Most of these people got opinions,

890
01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,048
but they couldn't survive out there one week.

891
01:09:00,090 --> 01:09:02,538
They couldn't survive that forest out there

892
01:09:02,580 --> 01:09:03,468
without a compass.

893
01:09:03,510 --> 01:09:05,868
They couldn't even find their way out.

894
01:09:05,910 --> 01:09:09,198
So-called experts, never been in the woods,

895
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,598
never been in a wilderness situation,

896
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:15,438
know nothing about animals,
but they all have opinions.

897
01:09:15,480 --> 01:09:18,558
Well, I can tell you this, there's a lot of animals

898
01:09:18,600 --> 01:09:20,118
that have already been found to exist

899
01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:21,960
when they thought they were extinct.

900
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:24,783
Don't count Bigfoot out.

901
01:09:27,630 --> 01:09:29,148
It's rugged in there.

902
01:09:29,190 --> 01:09:32,453
If he can exist, he can exist there.

903
01:09:34,889 --> 01:09:37,472
(somber music)

904
01:10:05,340 --> 01:10:08,058
Now we're down close to one of the waterways.

905
01:10:08,100 --> 01:10:09,708
Spring, there's a lot of water here.

906
01:10:09,750 --> 01:10:12,213
Usually in the summer it dries up quite a bit.

907
01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:14,948
But Bigfoot wouldn't have to come down here

908
01:10:14,990 --> 01:10:17,058
to get water most of the time anyway.

909
01:10:17,100 --> 01:10:19,368
There's natural springs up in them hills.

910
01:10:19,410 --> 01:10:21,060
He knows where every one of them.

911
01:10:22,650 --> 01:10:25,338
It's not necessary for him to be here.

912
01:10:25,380 --> 01:10:28,938
He doesn't have to show himself unless he wants to.

913
01:10:28,980 --> 01:10:32,778
He can literally survive up
there with little or nothing

914
01:10:32,820 --> 01:10:35,311
for extended periods of time.

915
01:10:35,353 --> 01:10:38,103
(fire crackling)

916
01:10:44,274 --> 01:10:47,274
(suspenseful music)

917
01:11:13,998 --> 01:11:17,831
(suspenseful music continues)

918
01:11:44,351 --> 01:11:48,184
(suspenseful music continues)

919
01:12:19,710 --> 01:12:22,180
Now, Native Americans are long swore

920
01:12:23,250 --> 01:12:25,203
that Bigfoot brings prophecies.

921
01:12:27,690 --> 01:12:28,938
But there's more.

922
01:12:28,980 --> 01:12:30,483
There is evidence.

923
01:12:33,630 --> 01:12:36,123
The evidence was written by a legend.

924
01:12:37,875 --> 01:12:39,813
1836 Nacogdoches.

925
01:12:41,910 --> 01:12:46,910
Davy Crockett himself wrote
a letter home to Abner Burgin.

926
01:12:49,980 --> 01:12:50,883
In part,

927
01:12:52,417 --> 01:12:54,288
"Whether it was the axe's disturbance

928
01:12:54,330 --> 01:12:56,178
or possibly the heat of the high sun,

929
01:12:56,220 --> 01:12:57,558
which caused an apparition

930
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,588
to slowly form in front of my eyes.

931
01:13:00,630 --> 01:13:01,683
I know not.

932
01:13:02,580 --> 01:13:05,208
As a Christian man, I swear to you, Abe,

933
01:13:05,250 --> 01:13:08,238
that what spirit came upon me was the shape

934
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,713
and the shade of a large ape man,

935
01:13:11,970 --> 01:13:16,068
the likes we might expect among the more bellicose

936
01:13:16,110 --> 01:13:19,083
and hostile Indian tribes of the territories.

937
01:13:20,730 --> 01:13:23,208
The shade formed into the most deformed

938
01:13:23,250 --> 01:13:24,708
and ugly countenance.

939
01:13:24,750 --> 01:13:26,928
Covered in wild hair,

940
01:13:26,970 --> 01:13:28,938
with small needling eyes,

941
01:13:28,980 --> 01:13:31,383
large broken rows of teeth.

942
01:13:34,260 --> 01:13:36,843
The monster then addressed a warning to me.

943
01:13:38,190 --> 01:13:42,348
Abner, it told me to return
from Texas to flee this Fort,

944
01:13:42,390 --> 01:13:44,403
to abandon this lost cause.

945
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:47,988
When I began to question this,

946
01:13:48,030 --> 01:13:49,638
the creature spread upon the wind

947
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:53,403
like a morning steam swirls off a frog pond.

948
01:13:54,420 --> 01:13:56,457
"I swear to you, Abner."

949
01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:02,613
Davy Crockett was on the way to help defend Texas.

950
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:06,543
Bigfoot appeared to warn him to turn back.

951
01:14:07,650 --> 01:14:10,623
As we all know, Davy Crockett died at the Alamo.

952
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:15,828
Davy Crockett was known to be an honest,

953
01:14:15,870 --> 01:14:17,463
true and Christian man.

954
01:14:19,260 --> 01:14:21,003
This letter's been verified.

955
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:24,738
There is nothing from his description

956
01:14:24,780 --> 01:14:28,008
that he clearly met Bigfoot.

957
01:14:28,050 --> 01:14:30,340
It's simply that he clearly met Bigfoot

958
01:14:31,890 --> 01:14:35,928
and the fact that a prophecy
was given to him by Bigfoot

959
01:14:35,970 --> 01:14:37,443
is more evidence.

960
01:14:38,323 --> 01:14:41,323
(suspenseful music)

961
01:14:42,930 --> 01:14:44,223
On this expedition,

962
01:14:45,900 --> 01:14:47,433
we did find more information.

963
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,463
We did find more evidence.

964
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,588
The evidence clearly is becoming less and less

965
01:14:54,630 --> 01:14:56,343
over the last 15 years.

966
01:14:57,180 --> 01:14:58,630
I've been up here many times.

967
01:15:00,030 --> 01:15:01,548
Why? We don't know.

968
01:15:01,590 --> 01:15:03,228
Is it because people are moving

969
01:15:03,270 --> 01:15:04,938
into the area in these remote areas?

970
01:15:04,980 --> 01:15:07,218
Is it because more people are out hunting

971
01:15:07,260 --> 01:15:08,958
'cause of hard times?

972
01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:09,791
I don't know.

973
01:15:09,833 --> 01:15:14,403
But the evidence is clearly becoming less and less.

974
01:15:15,750 --> 01:15:16,638
Yet through the years,

975
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:18,408
I have gathered quite a bit of evidence

976
01:15:18,450 --> 01:15:22,338
as I've showed you in the movie, like the shelters.

977
01:15:22,380 --> 01:15:23,973
What created those shelters?

978
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:26,633
Well,

979
01:15:28,770 --> 01:15:30,770
hopefully someday we'll have the answer.

980
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,928
There are people who say Bigfoot is a demon,

981
01:15:35,970 --> 01:15:36,963
a mountain demon.

982
01:15:38,700 --> 01:15:41,178
There are people who say, I know what I saw.

983
01:15:41,220 --> 01:15:42,213
It was Bigfoot.

984
01:15:43,140 --> 01:15:45,693
I know with a hundred percent.

985
01:15:46,980 --> 01:15:49,278
And then I have people say, I've never seen Bigfoot.

986
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:51,258
He doesn't exist.

987
01:15:51,300 --> 01:15:56,028
Why is it some people have
the opportunity to see Bigfoot

988
01:15:56,070 --> 01:15:57,528
and so many don't?

989
01:15:57,570 --> 01:15:59,148
Is it because they're not in the right place

990
01:15:59,190 --> 01:16:00,978
at the right time?

991
01:16:01,020 --> 01:16:02,718
Is it because they're not looking for them,

992
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:04,338
so they pay no attention?

993
01:16:04,380 --> 01:16:05,748
I don't know.

994
01:16:05,790 --> 01:16:09,760
But the witnesses I interview are very, very sincere.

995
01:16:10,793 --> 01:16:13,793
(suspenseful music)

996
01:16:49,958 --> 01:16:53,791
(suspenseful music continues)

997
01:17:19,955 --> 01:17:23,788
(suspenseful music continues)

998
01:17:42,519 --> 01:17:46,352
(suspenseful music continues)

999
01:18:02,574 --> 01:18:06,407
(suspenseful music continues)
