That's weird. 544 00:30:02,730 --> 00:30:06,136 I heard what sounded like multiple sustained grunts. 545 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,476 That was big lung capacity. 546 00:30:08,500 --> 00:30:09,606 A big sound. 547 00:30:09,630 --> 00:30:12,876 - That was not a bear sound. - That was not an elk sound. 548 00:30:12,900 --> 00:30:15,736 The sounds that came up from that valley 549 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,430 was unnatural and didn't belong there. 550 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,830 I can hear something on the rocks. 551 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,200 There's something walking down there. 552 00:30:51,260 --> 00:30:52,700 It's moving. 553 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,236 So it's been raining absolutely nonstop today. 554 00:31:08,260 --> 00:31:10,836 It's kind of like with so many expeditions, 555 00:31:10,860 --> 00:31:14,076 where you plan and you plan and then, 556 00:31:14,100 --> 00:31:15,336 nature happens. 557 00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,636 So I was getting actually really excited 558 00:31:18,660 --> 00:31:20,536 about heading out with to be 559 00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,636 because he has had so much success in recording sounds 560 00:31:24,660 --> 00:31:30,636 that you don't seem to fit in... in this world, 561 00:31:30,660 --> 00:31:33,136 meaning they're not known sounds, 562 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,936 sounds that we can attribute to animals 563 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,836 that we know of out here. 564 00:31:37,860 --> 00:31:40,436 I was actually really excited and hopeful. 565 00:31:40,460 --> 00:31:44,500 But, yeah, nature had other plans. 566 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:55,776 Mireya is still asleep. 567 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,736 The stars are finally out. 568 00:31:57,760 --> 00:31:58,760 The weather's let up. 569 00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,630 So we're going to take a peek around here. 570 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,576 Mireya and the team said they had some activity around here, 571 00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:14,730 so I'm hopin', now that the the rain has let up, 572 00:32:15,660 --> 00:32:18,130 we can finally get something on audio recorder. 573 00:32:21,300 --> 00:32:24,176 Man, the rain did a number on this place. 574 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,700 If there was evidence here, it's all washed away now. 575 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,200 I want to see if I can make contact. 576 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:45,800 What was that? 577 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,240 That didn't sound like anything that should be out here. 578 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:55,700 Is that a bird? 579 00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:58,500 That sounded almost like a goose. 580 00:33:06,900 --> 00:33:09,476 Geese wouldn't be here at this time of year. 581 00:33:09,500 --> 00:33:10,820 I wanna figure out what that was. 582 00:33:14,660 --> 00:33:16,076 After hearing a witness account 583 00:33:16,100 --> 00:33:18,876 detailing the extrasensory abilities of big foot, 584 00:33:18,900 --> 00:33:21,936 Bryce heads to the northern boundary of the target zone 585 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,436 to set up an experiment 586 00:33:23,460 --> 00:33:26,076 near where the team recently heard howls. 587 00:33:26,100 --> 00:33:28,436 After talking with Isaac and how he told me 588 00:33:28,460 --> 00:33:31,776 that these creatures observe members of his tribe. 589 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,176 And not only that, but they also have 590 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:35,606 these special powers. 591 00:33:35,630 --> 00:33:39,276 It really got me thinking back to when I was wearing that body camera. 592 00:33:39,300 --> 00:33:41,436 Because when I was reviewing the footage, 593 00:33:41,460 --> 00:33:44,536 it's as if this creature knew when to hide, 594 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:47,276 even when I had the camera on my back. 595 00:33:47,300 --> 00:33:51,876 It's like it sensed the camera's electromagnetic frequencies. 596 00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:52,877 So it got me thinking, 597 00:33:52,901 --> 00:33:55,736 perhaps, as some of our research has suggested, 598 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,736 these creatures have the ability 599 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,776 to detect electromagnetic frequencies 600 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,836 given off by some of our state of the art equipment. 601 00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:07,076 Which can explain how they're so able 602 00:34:07,100 --> 00:34:09,836 to avoid not only our trail cameras, 603 00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:11,436 but even some of our special tech, 604 00:34:11,460 --> 00:34:13,336 like these body cameras. 605 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,236 Now I want to run an experiment 606 00:34:15,260 --> 00:34:16,636 with that in mind, 607 00:34:16,660 --> 00:34:19,236 and perhaps, with what I've got planned, 608 00:34:19,260 --> 00:34:22,976 I'll be able to retain some of my... 609 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,030 Well, let's just say "cloaked ability." 610 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,836 Electronics like cell phones, 611 00:34:27,860 --> 00:34:29,736 digital cameras and audio equipment 612 00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,236 all transmit electromagnetic frequencies, 613 00:34:32,260 --> 00:34:33,936 also known as emf, 614 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,476 to transmit large amounts of data wirelessly 615 00:34:36,500 --> 00:34:38,076 through long distances. 616 00:34:38,100 --> 00:34:39,976 An emf blanket or shield 617 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,836 is a fabric specifically designed 618 00:34:41,860 --> 00:34:44,400 to block these waves from being transmitted. 619 00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:54,676 This emf tent will basically make us invisible in the night. 620 00:34:54,700 --> 00:34:58,076 We can observe these creatures undetected ourselves 621 00:34:58,100 --> 00:35:00,530 with eyes in all directions. 622 00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:04,136 So I've set up a suite 623 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,376 of electronic surveillance equipment. 624 00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:09,736 All of this equipment is housed inside this tent, 625 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,436 which basically serves as a giant cage. 626 00:35:13,460 --> 00:35:17,936 What this tent does is this blocks all this emf frequency, 627 00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,336 keeping it sheltered right in this area, 628 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,576 making us invisible. 629 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,536 I've got a thermal setup. 630 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,836 I've got infrared. 631 00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:29,236 I've got north, south, east and west covered. 632 00:35:29,260 --> 00:35:30,177 And not only that, 633 00:35:30,201 --> 00:35:33,336 but I've also set up a parabolic microphone 634 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,976 faced in that direction. 635 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,436 So anything making noise, walking through the brush, 636 00:35:38,460 --> 00:35:39,820 we're going to be able to hear it. 637 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:27,530 Something is definitely moving outside of our camp. 638 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,236 In order to prove the existence of a species, 639 00:36:37,260 --> 00:36:40,736 you have to collect DNA to have irrefutable evidence. 640 00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:43,636 So I always carry a tranquilizer gun with me 641 00:36:43,660 --> 00:36:46,636 on my expeditions, because a tranquilizer gun 642 00:36:46,660 --> 00:36:48,636 enables you to capture an animal 643 00:36:48,660 --> 00:36:49,776 without harming it, 644 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,436 and then being able to release it back into the wild. 645 00:36:52,460 --> 00:36:55,636 Historically, explorers would go out and shoot an animal, 646 00:36:55,660 --> 00:36:58,536 kill it and then bring it back to have it as evidence. 647 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:00,976 We know what that does to the balance of nature, 648 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,236 and we know better than to do that now. 649 00:37:03,260 --> 00:37:06,136 So a tranquilizer gun is a way for me 650 00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,336 to be able to collect a blood sample, 651 00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,276 tissue sample, measurements, weights, 652 00:37:10,300 --> 00:37:13,236 all of the documentation and evidence that we need 653 00:37:13,260 --> 00:37:16,136 in order to prove the existence of a new species. 654 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:19,100 And most importantly, do so without harming the animal. 655 00:37:34,100 --> 00:37:38,300 Something is definitely moving oustide of our camp. 656 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,430 That could be a deer or a bear. 657 00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:46,400 That sounds pretty big. 658 00:37:53,260 --> 00:37:54,836 It's strange that we're unable to see 659 00:37:54,860 --> 00:37:57,436 whatever was making that noise. 660 00:37:57,460 --> 00:38:01,176 I mean, perhaps it's hiding behind a tree or something like that. 661 00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,330 But... 662 00:38:16,800 --> 00:38:18,160 Did you 663 00:38:21,060 --> 00:38:24,230 guys, something just moved across.
