A terrifying creature has been stalking

the mountains
of British Columbia for almost a century.

This thing was twice the size
of a bear, at least.

Dwarfing Bigfoot,

it stands nine feet tall
with broad shoulders.

What she described
was a gigantic hair-covered man.

With the fangs
and strength of a giant ape...

Rock throwing, aggression, the strength to lift boulders.

...and the eyes
of a human being.

And it was looking
straight at us, nine feet off the ground.

Encounters
with the creature

known as
the Abominable Snowman continue to rise.

I know that it's out there.

But the beast
remains undocumented...

Justin, did you see that?

...in the vast wilderness.

I couldn't tell you
what this would be,

but I can tell you
that it's large.

Holy crap.

In the mid-20th century,

scientist Ivan Sanderson
set out to separate fact from fiction.

He investigated hundreds
of frightening encounters

with unexplained creatures
around the world.

Our next guest tonight
is one of the world's leading naturalists,

accumulating material
for something 30 years.

As the founder
of cryptozoology,

he built
the most extensive archive

of unclassified creatures
on earth.

There seem to be
a lot of these creatures in our continent,

in South America and Africa,
and all over Asia.

But following his death in the 1970s,

that archive disappeared.

Until now.

Armed with modern tech
and Sanderson's lost research...

We need to take this
and compare it to what's in the archives.

...a team of experts will reinvestigate

his unexplained cases using
up to the minute research

and predator expertise.

I've never seen
wildlife do this.

There's nothing like that
that should be doing that here.

Holy

Can Sanderson's files lead to an incredible new insight

and take another creature
from myth...

Did you see that?

...to reality?

Nobody has access
to this.

This is all ABSMs.
Abominable Snowman.

In the mid-20th century,

the ABSM was reportedly seen

during British expeditions
to Mount Everest.

Explorer Eric Shipton
and others reported evidence

of a large, white-haired,
bipedal creature with strange webbed toes.

So the Ruby Creek one for me
is interesting.

It's one of Sanderson's
bigger cases.

This is Ivan's file.
He was there.

He went there
and met with the Chapmans.

Look. That's his own writings.

This is the incident.

I had the peculiar fortune of investigating

an extraordinary event
at Ruby Creek, British Columbia.

Jeannie Chapman
reported a colossal creature

over seven feet tall emerging
from the shadowed tree line.

It then charged
onto their farm... -

...with such brute force
the children fled in fear.

The imposing specimen
ripped the front door off the hinges...

...and ransacked their cabin.

Amidst the destruction,
it seized a barrel brimming with salmon,

a prize that seemed
to covet above all else.

The creature then vanished,

retreating back
into the rugged, untamed wilderness...

...from whence it came.

We actually have a map here
from Sanderson's account,

and this is one of the details
that makes the Ruby Creek incident special.

According to Sanderson,

the creature descended
from Mount Hope

using a game trail,

crossing through the tree line

before entering
into the Chapman farm.

Sanderson believes
the creature fled

and used caves in the area
to remain undetected.

If you look
at the map, since 1959,

when Sanderson
first investigated the area,

there's a concentration
of sightings

right where the Ruby Creek
incident occurred.

We have to be looking at
over a thousand cases.

But I found something even more fascinating.

I don't read Russian,
but these look like

formerly classified documents
out of the Soviet Union.

There is a translation
of title here.

"Information materials
studying issue of snowman."

Snowman being
the Abominable Snowman. - That's what I think.

By having
these documents analyzed and possessing this map,

we have resources
that no one else has had before.

We're going to be able
to go into the field

and further Sanderson's work
on the Abominable Snowman.

We'll measure
the gathered evidence against his classification index.

That will help us determine
if this creature is a known animal species,

a Lazarus species,

something formerly thought
to be extinct,

or an entirely
new species altogether.

We're going to go
into the field,

try to locate these creatures

and then fit them into
the classification index.

The Abominable
is an unfortunate, misinterpreted namesake.

Our British journalist
Henry Newman misconstrued the Tibetan name

which meant Man Bear Snowman
to Abominable Snowman.

I have adopted the term ABSM
to acknowledge

both the correct
and incorrect translations.

Oh man.

It is gorgeous
up here.

I'm telling you,
to be right here above it,

seeing the visual
is unbelievable.

Looks like
that's the Chapman farm right there.

So we are exactly
at the location of the incident.

Sanderson speculated
that the Abominable would feed at the waterways

before retreating
up through the hills

to get down
from higher elevations.

- And I can see that.
- That's going to have to be

part of our research
to figure that out.

Here they come right here.

To help track down
this elusive unclassified species,

Charlie and Brittany team up
with wildlife specialist Troy Lillie,

and tracking expert
Justin Igualada.

Well, we might as well
get them loaded up and get them ready to go.

We're going to
search the mountain for evidence

that can help us find
and document the Abominable Snowman.

We'll be meeting
with a guy named Dave

and getting
a firsthand account

on a mysterious encounter
with an unknown creature.

- We are out there.
- We are out here far.

Dave.

- Hi.
- Hi, I'm Charlie.

Thanks for being willing
to speak with us.

- Yeah.
- It's nice to meet you.

My name's Dave,
a local fishermen here.

I had an experience
that's kind of... Changed my life.

I'm really curious
to hear exactly what you remember seeing.

I'm floating
on the river.

I'm tied to a snag
sticking out of the water.

And then all of a sudden,
a boulder came out about that big right there.

35 feet in the air straight up
and came right down

at where my rope was tied
to the snag.

I was like, what the hell.

I stood up
and I'm looking at the shore.

And it was eye shine
right away, two eyes.

And I was looking
at an outline twice as big as me.

It was-- It was huge.

And it never blinked once.

And I blinked 20 times
because I didn't know what I was looking at.

So, do you think
it's just being territorial of its hunting area?

Because what you're saying
could have killed you then if it wanted to.

You know, that thing
was down there to get fish.

That's what I believe.

There's a lot
of resources in this river.

It wouldn't be unlikely
to find something large along this riverbed.

If you're down in its area
when it's hunting, it's going to run you off.

What I'm doing here
is trying to figure out

what native predator
it could be

to isolate all of that
before we jump to the conclusion

of cryptids
or Abominable Snowmen,

anything other than
a native animal or predator.

The assaults that happen here
are almost like primitive primate type stuff

like rock throwing,
aggression.

Hominid family,
white fur, abnormal feet,

that would leave
strange prints

where the mud doesn't come up
between the toes.

Does that sound like anything
that you have encountered or would know about?

I mean, polar bears
have webbed feet,

but they would be
not this far up, would they?

We're a little far
south for that.

We've had interbreeding
where you have polar bears and grizzly bears breeding.

Southern British Columbia is home

to the largest predators
in North America,

black and grizzly bears.

However, a new hybrid species
has recently been reported,

known as grolar bears,

polar bears
and grizzlies interbreeding was first identified in 2006.

The combination produces
a large white creature,

capable of surviving
more temperate climates.

Let's say out here we have
the hybrid grizzly polar bear.

According to decades
of reports, this thing has long legs, no neck,

which any bear does.

When they stand up,
they have that elongated-- And a broad shoulder.

I personally can't say that
that would be a bear.

I believe the same way
Ivan Sanderson did

that there is a primate
bipedal creature lurking in the woods.

And based merely off
of the eyewitness accounts,

the testimonies have been
going on for decades,

I believe that it's possible
that it is here,

and that is exactly
what we're here to find out.

- I'll find it for you.
- All right.

- Yep.
- Get it.

I will load you up
with a pile of my friend. I got you.

I don't need a pile.

You can put it
in Brittany's bag.

Armed with evidence
from the archive,

the team splits to start
their onsite investigation.

Clearly the train's here.

He's mentioned train tracks
in his writings.

Troy and Justin
head down to the Fraser River

just west of the Chapman farm

where the recent sightings
took place.

According to Sanderson's map,

after leaving
the Chapman farm,

the creature approached
the Fraser River

before fleeing
into the dense forest.

The description
of the animal in this area baffles me a little bit.

So we're hoping
we can track the path

that this creature
is using to feed and find evidence

or even find
the predator itself.

Come on, Big Daddy.

Don't die.

Four miles away
at the foot of Mount Hope

just north
of the Chapman farm.

Brittany and Charlie establish
a base camp in the forest where the creature fled.

There's a decent looking flat
up there.

That might be a good spot.

We should set up tents fast

because we're going to start
losing daylight.

This location is a normal
natural feeding ground for any large predator...

- Are you done?
- Yeah.

This is my last corner.

...which is good and bad.

The good part is, I think
we might actually encounter one.

The bad part is we are
far away from civilization,

and now we are on their turf.

That's all of them.

So we're setting up
a laser perimeter.

It's essentially
an electronic tripwire.

If this unknown creature
comes into base camp, we'll all know about it.

There's a good set
right there.

See it?

Justin?

After talking with Dave,
I thought the best place

to start looking
for any activity would be down by the river

since that's where
his account took place.

Look at all the different
lines of tracks.

They're all zigzagged
and those look a little deeper.

Some sort of feline.

- So this one is four.
- Yep.

I would actually
call that four and a half. - Okay.

That's not a coyote, right?
No way.

It's bigger than that.

I'm gonna get
a granule sample

and I'm gonna get
a water sample.

Go ahead and take all of this.

But these are awful small
compared to these right here.

So something was
chasing something.

The amount of resources
in this area mean that

there's going to be predators
that are going to cohabitate.

Usually when a larger predator
or something bigger comes along,

then we see a lot of fleeing.

Something could be
scared down here

due to a larger predator
that's hiding in the tree line.

Justin.

Right here,
we have a game trail.

Look, it's already worn.

So if we can get up
in this area here

and put some stuff
in the tree line, we should be all right.

Justin and I spotted
a game trail.

It's getting dark,
so we're just gonna camp out,

wait overnight,
get up at daybreak,

and we're gonna start
hitting that trail again.

Back at Brittany
and Charlie's base camp...

Whatever it is,
it's outside of the perimeter.

Oh wow.

That is absolutely massive.

See all these little holes, they stick their nails in?

This is definitely
bear activity.

Do you see all the scratches
all the way up?

I think it was out here
just picking away at this,

trying to get
all the bugs out of it.

Let me show you how big
this is compared to me.

Can you see how tall that is?

And do you see
the peak up there where it was digging the most?

We're talking like,
a freaking nine-foot bear.

So there's a large predator
in the area.

Could be a large prison bear
or even a polar bear hybrid.

But it could also
be a primate.

Primates mimic,

and they might be mimicking
other animals... -

...and learning
from their behavior to apply to their own.

That is absolutely massive.

This is exactly
what I was hearing.

This thing is obviously
still out here.

Going up
the game trail, and we have to be prepared

because we don't know how long
this animal is gonna stay on this trail.

It may take days.

The higher up we get,
the danger level gets even higher,

and that's even further away
from help.

We're gonna look
for footprints, tracks, hair,

and really try to isolate
exactly what's happening here.

Ghillie.

This is one ghillie here
on the top.

- Are you ready, big boy?
- I sure am, my friend.

We are trying to find
where this creature might have a den.

Right now, evidence points
to this being a bear.

Bears can travel
up to 40 miles away

from their nesting site
to feed,

so we have a lot
of ground to cover.

Get on
that next ridge line.

Oh, we got
a good opening.

We can do it.

That's a good tree.

Troy.

What is that?

That's a pretty
good size, huh?

Scat can tell us a lot.

So we can tell
whether it's fresh,

obviously, something is
closer in the area.

If it's older, maybe
something's farther away.

What it can also tell us
is what they're eating.

If you have a certain diet,
there may be more watery type of scat.

If you have a lot more
fibrous material,

a lot of berries
and stuff like that,

you're going to see
the seeds in those berries,

then, you can kind of
take away with the scat.

This would probably be
like a lynx.

If you've got scat
that's on the trail itself,

this is a pretty active
game trail.

Something big moves
through here.

As animals travel this,
you can see it's a worn down patch.

- Yeah.
- So whatever it is is running this line.

A large predator,
constantly running

the same path
over and over again,

eventually, it's going to
start to kill off

some of this moss
and tear up into the dirt.

Definitely not human.

Got a lot of debris in there,
but that's still a good print right there,

- and that's pretty deep.
- Yeah.

I couldn't
definitively tell you,

any specific animal
that this would be,

but I can tell you
that it's large.

Troy and I are on the path
of a large animal.

We got plenty of evidence
to point in that direction.

What we want to do
is stay on that path

and get as far as we can
to try and get into this animal's territory.

It'd be a very obvious
thing to see.

So if an animal is 800,
900 pounds and it lays down,

I mean, you clearly see,
when I put my knee down like this and I sit,

and you stand up,
you've got a super indentation.

So an animal
with that amount of weight,

you're gonna have
big indentations.

I can tell you
it's large and it's hungry.

In numerous accounts,

the ABSM appeared
and carried off fish.

I believe the diet
of the elusive creature consists mostly of salmon.

You found the bait?

- Yeah, I did.
- That is pungent.

Following the discovery outside base camp,

Charlie and Brittany devised
a new plan to lure the creature in.

And it's all
fresh caught by locals.

You want salmon right now?

- No.
- Okay.

So tomorrow the plan
is to start looking for caves.

But for tonight,
we're at base camp.

We're gonna set up
what we're referring to as a bait tree.

The goal being by hanging up
salmon in this area,

we can hopefully
bring it right to us.

So on the lower part of the tree line,

we're going to
basically extend this

and we're gonna swing it
across over here.

In Asia, Sanderson actually
used frogs to string and bait.

And here the common theme
is actually salmon.

So we're utilizing
the food source that we believe it's eating.

This is actually
a perfect spot.

- You like this spot?
- I actually do.

I have a pretty good
observation of the trail,

and I can just drape
the blind on it

to hunker in and have a view.

The most important thing
right now is scent and sound.

We're a couple hundred meters
away from base camp.

I plan to set up
a blind out here

while Charlie goes back
to base camp,

and monitors all
of the night vision cameras that we have set in place.

Yeah, that's good.

I should be able to see
back and forward.

The best part about this
is the fact

that Ivan Sanderson
was doing this research,

and now we might be the first
to continue his work

and actually document
the species right now, right here.

As night falls,

Justin and Troy have followed
the game trail 2,000 feet above sea level.

We're gonna come
on this side because we've got a nice,

big flat rock up there
that we can kind of look over.

- There you go.
- Thank you.

We're gonna hunker down
a little bit for the night.

Troy and I'll camp out,
and then we'll get back to the hike

and get up to the summit.

What we want to do
is we want to set up all the tech first.

- Got it?
- Yep.

There's a lot
of dangers involved out here.

We have big game here.

We have prey.
We have predators.

I don't trust anybody
more than I do Justin.

All right.
It's time to go dark, bud.

Let's-- Let's turn 'em down.

Okay,
give me the big one.

Give me the big one.

Between the Ruby Creek in 1941
and an eyewitness testimony,

there is a common denominator
within each of the stories, and that is salmon.

I'm convinced
that we can lure it in.

All right.
I think that's all of them.

Whatever we couldn't hang
is on the ground.

So let's get you up
on your blinds. - Okay.

I'm gonna go get set up
at base camp.

Mmm. Sounds fun.
Smelling like fish. - Yep.

Radio me
if you need anything. - Okay.

I'll be watching
on the cameras.

I totally
feel like I keep hearing something from behind me.

And although I can't get
a visual of it,

it just sounds like
it's something heavy.

I have no idea what that was.

Do you see a trigger? I don't know what it is.

Oh, I do see something.

Please don't do
anything crazy.

Something's down there.

What the hell was that?

Hold on. I think--
I think I have something, guys.

Do you guys see this?

It looks like
it might be a footprint.

- Charlie?
- Yeah, go ahead.

I think I have
a possible track here.

Do you have any way
that we can maybe

take a better
or closer look at this?

Yeah,
I'm grabbing the scanner.

It looks like
there might be a large digit right there.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Do you see it?
If you look right there... - Yeah.

...I have a little bit
of a ridge right there. - Yeah.

And it looks like
that could be like a digit.

Exactly. Yep.

Like, so one here,
like a larger one.

Let me get out of your way.

This is a TriMech scanner,

and this is a really,
really sophisticated 3D scanner.

What it can do
is it can generate a model of an object.

It's used a lot in archeology.

It's way more accurate
than any technology that Sanderson would have had.

Obviously, Sanderson did not
have all the tools at his disposal

that we do
as far as technology goes,

So we can then essentially
have a 3D model of a casting

that could also be 3D-printed.

Traditional plaster casting
like Sanderson would have used

making a cast of a cast
of a cast of a cast degrades the quality.

But with this,
we can just replicate that cast

over and over and over
exactly as it existed the way it was taken.

This definitely does not
look like a bear footprint.

We need to take this
and compare it to what's in the archives.

For sure.

While Charlie
and Brittany upload evidence,

they get a call from a former
intelligence officer, Tracy Walder,

with an update
on the Soviet documents found in Sanderson's archive.

I was able
to actually get them to a Russian translator

and she translated all of it.

But I think
even more importantly,

I was able
to authenticate them.

These are classified documents
from the Soviet Union

about the Abominable Snowman.

These were classified
research documents.

What the crux of the documents
were about

was that the Soviets
were hunting this thing.

There were a lot of sightings
of the Abominable Snowman

going way back
in the Soviet Union.

It seems to be sighted
really at high altitudes.

And they were putting money
behind researching it.

And I really think that
a lot of their efforts

really went to trying
to weaponize this thing.

How can we use this
on the battlefield?

This is amazing.
I love that they were able to be authenticated.

Given the cultural
temperature of the time,

how the hell did Sanderson
get these documents?

That is an excellent question,

and I am still working
on finding the answer to that.

All right.

This whole investigation
has taken a major shift.

The fact that the Soviets
believed this thing was real is very satisfying for me.

But these are accounts
independent of Sanderson's

and independent
of the United States.

I know that it's out there.

There's just
too many accounts,

too many people and stories
all over the world for this thing not to be real.

I'm not satisfied
until I get to see it.

At daybreak,
Troy and Justin continue on the game trail

following signs
of a large predator

that they believe could be
a hybrid bear species.

These are big prints, though.

That's looking
more like bear. It's straight.

Very straight.

Before it was
a little spread out.

Now we got straight end line

and it looks like we got
a big ass bear track.

So it's been a real hike,

but Troy and I are definitely
getting closer to the summit.

When you're tracking
in the snow, it's a little bit different.

On the snow,
we get an easier take

on what's going on
with the wildlife.

We get a cleaner print.
We could definitely tell

which direction it's heading,

and sometimes we can even
follow those tracks

all the way
to where the animal's at.

These are all tracks,
all the way up.

So they kind of curve this way
and that one kind of stops.

It goes over that way.

It's hard to tell
what it is.

I think it snowed
probably earlier

before we got here,
so it's covering up a bit.

It's kind of
melted over, man.

Hold on a second. Come here.

What do we have here?

Urine, or some sort of fluid.

What do you think it is?

There's only one way
to find out.

Smell it.

What do you think?

There are different
scents and smells when you get into urine

that you can deduce
a couple of things.

If you're in the snow
and you pee in the snow,

you're going to put a hole
in the snow.

Your pee is hot.
The snow is not.

Nasty. Nasty and gross.

So we can say
that this animal has been here recently,

just the way the snow is.

But this one
is a lot more fresh.

I can taste it
on the tip of my tongue.

And at the end of the day,
we know that we're hot on the trail of this animal.

5,000 feet below,

Charlie and Brittany ramp up
the next stage of their search,

this time taking their hunt
to the air.

So we're gonna be using
a drone with thermal imagery.

We're going to be scanning
the environment to look for hotspots.

We do think that the creature
is still likely in this area,

and this will allow us
to track it using its body heat.

And it's going up.

And the drone is something

that Ivan didn't have
at his disposal.

So to build on his work,
I think it makes a lot of sense

to utilize the technology
this way.

It doesn't look like
there's much activity here.

It's almost like
the animals are steering clear of the forest.

What's that right there?

Huh. I don't know.

Look at that.

To be that dark,
it's got to be really cold.

Can we get
in there a little bit?

And that might be
cave breath.

- Get a better view?
- I think that's cave breath.

Cave breath is a phenomena

that occurs when caves emanate
cold air from within.

And while we were
looking for animals

with the thermal drone,

the cold air showed up
clear as day.

I am going to mark
those GPS coordinates.

Caves are
an important component

of this investigation

because a predator
or any animal, really,

could seek shelter
to eat, to nest.

And Sanderson talks
a lot about caves

in his notes and research,

specifically around
the Abominable Snowman

That's definitely
got to be a cave entrance.

We've got to take
a closer look at this.

It's very exciting

because it can
potentially tell us

what type of predator

or what type of animal
we are dealing with.

Could these encounters here be
the abominable snowman?

That's what we're here
to find out.

ABSM could just
as well hole up in caves

as some bears do.

And caves should be searched
most diligently for remains

or other evidence
of their occupation.

According to accounts
from the Himalayas,

they are said to inhabit
remote mountain caves.

In fact, certain large caves
have been discovered

with man-made walls of stone
inside them,

and specially shaped stones
fitted to their mouths

like doors.

Oh, my God,
take it in.

It's definitely
freezing ass cold up here.

But, 'cause we're seeing
a lot more tracks now,

especially from bigger stuff,

let's see if we can get
anything to come to us.

What if we stop
right there, dude?

Yeah.

I think we're here, Troy.

If we lose tracks of an animal
in the snow,

we can deduce
a couple of things.

Either A,
that animal passed through

a little bit later
than we thought.

B, a lot of snowfall happened
that we didn't see,

covering up those tracks.

Or C, you're in the area
where the animal's at.

In order to live here,
it would have to have

a very dense coat.

Obviously less nerve endings
in the bottom of their feet,

but basically
a heavy calloused foot,

probably a lot like the bottom
of a bear foot.

Look at the density
of these woods.

We wouldn't see anything.

No, hell no.

We could have one sitting
right next to us right now, we wouldn't know.

We could have
anything right next to us.

We're too out
in the open right now,

and we have no idea
what's up here.

So we're going to set up camp
amongst the trees,

protect our backs,

and set up our cameras
to face the game trail.

I just thought, right there--

I just thought
that'd be a good spot,

'cause we can watch
this trail on.

We can see both ways.

We've got a lot of direction,

and then we can set backwards

if something comes up
behind us.

Hey,
where are you guys at?

We are on the track
of a large bear right now,

trying to lead that
all the way up to the summit,

see where it goes.

Sounds good.
Just, if anything happens

or you guys see anything
out of the ordinary,

please feel free to radio us.

I feel like we should
just stay up here all night.

We might as well.

We're both wide awake
and really should be fun.

All right. Sounds good.
We'll be in touch.

While Troy and Justin search the summit for the creature,

Charlie and Brittany continue
their hunt for the cave.

It's extremely exciting
for me.

We could actually be on
to possibly a habitat area

within a certain radius

that it might be traveling
and coming up into.

This is like
really interesting terrain.

Probably easier this way.

I want to point
this out, Charlie.

If I'm barefoot

and I'm hitting just
the mossy grass area,

I could sneak up on anybody
without even...

freaking knowing.

That's true.

What's really incredible is
the advantages we have now

because Ivan Sanderson would

have had to do it
boots on the ground

for days or weeks

trying to locate these caves.

Now we have the advantages
of all these new technologies,

including
the thermal imaging drones,

which immediately takes us
a whole step further.

Look at that.

Look at this!

These rocks right here.

This is exactly
what is described

- in Sanderson's files.
- It is. Yeah, you're right.

We have walked
right up to the precipice

of Sanderson's research.

He describes with great detail

caves, mountains of stone,

boulders like doors,

It could be a den or shelter

for the creature
we've been looking for.

Holy crap!

Hey, we got bones.

Are you serious?

Holy crap.

We got bones.

- Are you serious?
- Holy crap.

Right here?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

Vertebrae from a fish.

Now, do you see
all this crevice?

- Do you see all this?
- Yeah.

And how much climbing
we just did? - Mm-hmm.

No bear is going to go
all the way through this

to eat this.

Do you see all this?
Look at this.

There's a lot.

And the way
that this crevice was sat down,

it was like a perfect place
to sit.

It really made a lot of sense.

But for me, because of how
the large cave started

to get into narrow spots

and you had to climb through,

that's not a bear.

I agree with you.

A bear did not do that.

I mean, like,
this is super fresh.

If it was old, you wouldn't
have such a smell.

This is like day or two.

I want to go ahead
and pull some DNA,

which, honestly, I can catch
from any of these bones,

to be quite honest with you.

If something's eating here,

it's going to be
drooling a lot.

Yeah.

So we are right up to the edge
of Sanderson's research.

We found caves
that he speculated about.

And that, to me,
is incredible.

We discovered saliva

that we can then collect,
which we did, and test.

- This is fantastic.
- This is a great find.

It's very exciting

because it can
potentially tell us

what type of predator

or what type of animal
we are dealing with.

All signs are pointing
more towards the possibility

of it being this creature.

So what I'm going
to do is I'm going to put

the IR night-vision
infrared camera right here.

All right, I'm going
to hop past you then,

and I'm going to set
this trip camera up behind that tree,

- catch what's behind us.
- Okay.

As darkness falls
on Mount Hope,

Troy and Justin set up
for one final night watch.

Troy, are you
comfortable where you're at?

I'm a...

I'm a little cold.

What the hell was that?

What the hell was that?
What is that?

I don't know, but I felt it literally right next to me.

- Like, I could feel it--
- Hold on.

Can we get
somebody to follow us?

Yeah, I want to know

what the hell's throwing
infrasound at me.

You see anything, Sean?

Do you see anything at all?

I can't...

Whatever's
making that sound,

it's either saying
that it's scared

or it's trying
to intimidate us.

I really don't know.

I'm trying to place
my head around it

because I've never experienced
anything like that before.

We have
a bunch of trail cams.

I'm going to set some up
on some trees in this area,

and then we'll be able
to come back

maybe six or seven months
from now,

and be able
to review the footage that we have on there.

Obviously, we know
there's something here,

but we really have a huge hike

to get back to Brittany
and Charlie.

I don't know
what that was up there,

but that was no bear, man.

No bear.

I got the results in

- for the DNA test.
- Okay.

We got the scan
of the footprint.

So the saliva DNA results,

they came back
totally inconclusive.

That specimen doesn't match

any known species.

Let's take a look
at the footprint. - Okay.

This is the one
that you and I found.

You've probably seen
the big bulbous digit. - I do.

Yeah, that is a monster toe.

What I want
to do, though, is

compare it
to the Sanderson cast.

- Okay, you ready?
- Uh-huh.

Yeah, I can see it.

See the similarity there?

In this area?

Okay.

This is something
in a similar grouping.

So we can rule out
known species at this point.

For me, yes.

Based on all the evidence
that we've collected... - Mm-hmm.

...I have to say that,
in British Columbia,

specifically where
the Ruby Creek incident occurred,

we're likely dealing
with a new species

known
as the abominable snowman.

We are so close
to documenting this creature.

We'll head back
into the field soon

to check those cameras
Troy and Justin left behind.

There's more to investigate.

I can agree with that.

I just feel like
it's still there,

it's still happening.

Whatever this species is,

is in the Fraser River Gorge.

Science is defined
in the dictionaries

as the pursuit of the unknown.

Yet science today is
coming to insist

that it not be bothered
with this.

There is
a very great deal more

to be learned.
