"On this special two-hour episode." "Of "Finding bigfoot"..." "The team returns To north carolina," "Where one appalachian family Has been reporting sightings." "On their property For generations." "And all of you have experienced Sasquatch activity." "At one time or another?" "Inundated with reports At the town-hall meeting..." "No!" "Big, glowing eyes." "It stood there, And then swayed back and forth." "That's only one thing In this world it could be," "And that's a bigfoot." "You guys are not Disappointing." "The team calls for backup." "Hey!" "Ranae's cousin laura," "Matt's son leo," "Cliff's brother rob," "And bobo's good friend bud." "With friends and family By their side," "They hit the trail," "Investigating Its most isolated sectors," "All leading To a final, epic night." "In the wilds of appalachia." "Yeah!" "It's here." "Down that way." "Shush." "Listen!" "I think I just heard My first 'squatch." "It was impossibly large." "It definitely wasn't human." "I've been tracking Sasquatches for 25 years." "These animals, In fact, are real." "I've seen them." "They're here." "I'm having A really difficult time." "Finding an explanation for this." "There's something on the hill!" "I do think there's a 'squatch In these woods." "Captions paid for by Discovery communications." "The team and I are back In north carolina." "Five years ago, We did an expedition." "In central north carolina, Where we got some action." "This time, we're in The western part of the state." "And we're hoping To get some action here, too." "Out here in the west, you have The appalachian mountain range," "Which the appalachian trail Runs through." "Sasquatches love That mountainous terrain." "And with all the caves Around here," "They've got A lot of places to hide." "Whenever we're In the appalachian mountains," "We invariably run into reports Along the appalachian trail." "The reports From the appalachians." "Date back centuries." "For as long as people have lived In these mountains," "They've been reporting Sasquatch sightings." "In fact, we got a call From a family." "That lives less than a mile From the appalachian trail." "And they say They've been having activity." "And encounters in that family For generations." "So that's where we're headed." "Well, we are back In north carolina." "And we know From previous investigations." "In the south And on the east coast," "Probably the number-one Common denominator." "Has been the a.T..." "The appalachian trail." "Yeah, so much stuff happens Along the appalachian trail," "But part of that's because It's such a long trail." "In starts in georgia And ends in maine." "A lot of people take months off." "To walk the entire stretch Of the trail." "And some of those people." "Encounter sasquatches Along the way." "Our area of focus Here in north carolina." "Is a little bit different Than some of the other areas." "We've looked into in the south." "I mean, these mountains Are serious mountains." "They are high." "They are steep." "They are rugged." "This is great habitat For sasquatches." "And I realized this morning That it's five years to the day." "That we had Our first expedition together." "We went with mike green For the squeaky thermal footage." "That's right." "That wasn't very far From here, either." "That bigfoot reached out And just grabbed that candy bar." "And that squeaky footage Was the first thermal footage," "I'm aware of, That we agreed was a sasquatch." "I can't believe it took us So long to come back here." "Our first expedition As a team together was here." "We had definite 'squatch action Last time we were here," "And we may even Have seen a 'squatch." "So, now we're back." "Hopes are high." "I can't believe It's taken us this long." "To get back here, Honestly." "I mean, there is so much Viable habitat." "For sasquatches Here in north carolina." "We could've done." "Five or six different Expeditions here by now." "It is an outdoor mecca." "There's 600 miles of trails In one of the nearby forests," "White-water rafting, A lot of climbing." "There are tons of tourists And locals outdoors every day." "Engaging in various forms Of recreational activity." "Along the appalachian trail." "Will all these people Spending time out in the woods," "Of course some of them Are bound to "See" bigfoots." "The question is, What is they're really seeing?" "We have to go look Into this guy, ernie bradford," "And his family." "They've got This big piece of land." "Backed up right To the national forest." "And three generations Of them." "Say that Bigfoots come around." "And if we come there, We might have an encounter." "If three generations Of this family." "Have been having Ongoing activity." "Pretty much all that time," "There's something special About this particular property." "That's not a coincidence." "This place is pretty out there." "We drove way up Into the mountains," "Went to the top of this holler." "That's property of this family, The bradfords." "The appalachian trail sits only About a mile up the hill." "So they're right next to it." "And there's no buildings Between here and there." "So, I mean, It's prime 'squatch territory." "Beautiful property You guys have back here." " Thanks." " Thank you." "So, we have three Generations of the same family." "In front of us here?" "And all of you have experienced Sasquatch activity." "At one time or another?" "Really?" "And how long's your family been On this piece of property?" "Back to 1700s." " Wow." " Man." "Late 17s." "And how far back Did the bigfoot activity go?" "We'd hear tales of it From our great-grandfather." "He would tell us to be careful And not get too far out," "Or don't get in the woods Playing." "We knew the rules." "We had our boundaries." ""Do not get out of sight Or earshot."" "how about you, lakota?" "Have you ever seen one?" "Yeah." "Where did you see one?" "Up there." "What happened?" "I was playing soccer With my friends." "When the ball rolled Down the road," "That's when I noticed It was looking at us." "It was up on the hill." "It was standing there watching." " Okay." " And so it came down." "Did it sit down, or did it..." "Was it standing up?" "Standing up." "And what color was it?" "Blackish brown." "I came outside, And she was like," ""There's something up there Watching us."" "I saw it standing up On the hill." "That day, I saw a bigfoot." "So, you and the friends." "Were sitting there playing And talking about it," "And you all knew It was there?" "Did you all know It was a bigfoot?" "No." "Do you think they've ever Come around the houses?" "Yes." "There was one That was looking." "In my oldest daughter's Bedroom window." "After we had had A birthday party." "We heard knocking..." "Not really like He was knocking..." "Like he was kind of Pushing his way around." "But my mom saw the figure In the window." "Now, ernie, you've lived On this property." "For almost six decades." "What's the earliest encounter You can remember having." "With one Of these things?" "40 years ago, 38 years ago?" "There's no doubt there's 'squatches on this property." "They've all seen them." "They're not all lying." "I don't think They're a family of liars." "They're just telling you What they've seen," "And they have them here." "I have no doubt you guys Have bigfoots on this property." "And you've seen them." "Definitely." "Are there bigfoots On this property?" "I would think it would be safe To say no." "Still, it's hard to argue with Three generations of stories." "There's only one way For us to find out." "We need to stay here And do a night investigation." "If you guys would let us," "Could we do a night Investigation around here?" "Where would you go?" "I think We're down for that." "Well, hopefully, that Four decades of bigfoot activity." "Can extend at least One more night for us." " Glad to have you." " Good luck." "All right." "We're not far from The appalachian trail." "And the 'squatches up here," "They must have adapted To being up in the mountains." "Ernie's family said." "They've been having stuff Happen up here." "For multiple generations," "So they're gonna be Up around here somewhere." "Well, ernie seemed To be pretty positive." "Even though it's wintertime, He thinks we've got to go up." "To find those 'squatches." "Well, I like a challenge." "Matt, why don't we walk Up on top of these ridges." "And make some calls Back and forth?" "And hopefully something Is in this valley tonight." "All right." "We'll just go with you guys." "Up to the split the trail And then fork off." "All right." "Let's do that." "Yeah, Let's go fork off." "My god." "It goes straight up right here." "That is the trail, Isn't it?" "I mean, This isn't even a trail." "I'll let you lead the way, Bobes." "All right." "So, ernie gave us some intel." "That he thinks The sasquatches go up high." "So that clearly means That the teams." "Need to get as high In altitude as possible." "So, bobo and ranae are gonna Hit up one trail," "Matt and I are gonna go To the other trail." "The goal here is to get On top of the ridges." "And cast as wide a net As possible," "And by yelling Into adjacent valleys." "I thought we were gonna be On a trail-trail." "Just slow and steady, man." "This is sucking." "This is the most level spot We've found." "Yeah." "This is ridiculous." "Let me call The other team." "Ranae for matt." "What you got going on?" "We thought we had The easy trail." "And this basically goes." "Kind of straight up Back here." "It's also icy." "Any rocks are slick as snot." "Funny..." "I was just Saying that to cliff." "This might be one Of the highest points." "We're gonna reach." "He wants To do a call here." "All right, we'll listen." "We hear it." "Totally hear it." "That's good." "That means stuff's bouncing Off the frozen walls." "That means We should howl back." "Remember, we want to attract Attention to this area." "All right." "You want to do it?" "Yeah, sure." "Sure." "All right, ranae, bobo, Cliff's gonna do a howl." "Keep your ears on." "We're listening." "We're done." "Yeah, we heard it." "They heard it." "Good." "That's great." "We wrapped around halfway Around this mountain." "They can still hear that." "God, You can just slide." "All the way to The frickin' creek like this." "Well, we do need To go down." "To get to that next section Of trail." "All right, ready?" "Go for it." "I'm not tearing My rain paints." "Later." "Careful with those trees." "Yeah." "You all right?" "Yep." "Hope you didn't plan On having kids." "It's kind of cool that Multi-generations of that family." "All have had Sasquatch encounters." "Yeah, that would mean The bigfoot's been." "Coming back through there Year after year." "For a long time, You know." "Yeah, I like that sasquatches Are a family affair, you know?" "I mean, because, Like, if your family..." "Your brother who you trust With your life..." "Says they saw One of these things," "What would you do With that?" "You would probably just Believe them, you know?" "Right." "Yeah, let's start Doing some calls." "Shh!" "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" "Listen, listen!" "What?" "Howl." "Where?" "Point." "That way." "Ed to north carolina." "By a family who lives By the appalachian trail." "Bigfoot sightings have been Occurring on their property." "For generations," "So we decided we're gonna stay Right here for the night." "We climbed up high Into the mountain." "To make some calls." "And I just heard A possible bigfoot howl." "Shh!" "Stop, stop, stop, stop!" "Listen, listen!" "What?" "Howl." "Where?" "Point." "That way." "How far?" "Far-far?" "It's hard to tell With the echoes," "But, like, half mile?" "Ranae, bobo, Did you guys just howl?" " You heard a howl?" " Yeah." "No, we didn't do a howl." "They're hearing a howl." "What kind of howl?" "It was... we were walking, Coming down off the hill," "Crunching through the leaves, And I hear, "Waaaaah!"" "It's in your direction, But above you." "I'm gonna try To answer back." "Yeah, yeah." "Come on, baby, Do it again." "Come on." "Do us a favor." "Well, you know," "I think sasquatches Really tune in to noises." "And, you know, I wouldn't be a bit surprised." "If something Maybe 600 yards away." "Could actually hear us Going through this forest stuff." "It's 6 inches deep In spots, man." "They have, like, Superhuman hearing." "Because They're superhuman-ish." "Okay." "I think we should do an inchworm On the way back." "Yeah." "You walk 100 feet, Stop, listen." "So, one of us is standing still While the other is walking." "If it was a 'squatch, It could get over to us." "And what would happen is, As we inchworm down," "The person who's in behind." "Will probably hear it Moving through the brush." "If you're standing still." "All right, cool." "Well, I'll head out this way." "I'll stop About 150 feet up there." "I'll wait for you." "All right?" "All right." "Flash your headlight at me When you want to stop." "Okay." "Okay." "There's A distinct possibility." "That whatever made That whoop or scream heard us moving Through the leaf litter." "Maybe it was alerting Another sasquatch nearby." "We don't know." "So, to cover ourselves," "We're gonna use The inchworm technique," "Where one person stands Perfectly still and listens." "While the other person Moves ahead." "And makes some noise." "Once that person gets a good Distance ahead, we signal," "And then the next person Comes up." "While that person stays still." "We're basically, like, Leap-frogging each other." "It's slow and tedious, And it's freezing cold." "But if that was a sasquatch, Then this is the best way." "To make sure we can hear it Following us." "So we're gonna inchworm All the way back to base camp." "Got one howl." "Might've been a 'squatch." "Nice, big howl From up on that ridge." "Except for the sound of us." "Walking through The forest leaf litter," "We heard nothing at all Except for what matt heard." " Yeah." " Yeah." "It was eerily quiet, Very strange." "Yeah." "Ernie knows this place Like the back of his hand." "He's lived here His whole life." "But I do believe He was mistaken." "In thinking the 'squatches Were up in that snow and ice." "I think They're down there." "Well, we had to check it out, And we did." "So, now we'll go to town hall, See what else we can find out." "Last night, Matt might have heard something," "But we need a more solid lead Than that." "So we need to speak To the people in the community." "And find out where they've been Seeing bigfoots recently." "And also where They've seen sasquatches." "At this time of year." "Tonight's town hall is gonna be At the young men's institute." "In asheville, north carolina." "And I cannot wait to see How many witnesses we get." "Hello, asheville." "If you believe That you've seen a bigfoot." "Or heard a bigfoot," "Would you raise your hand, Please?" " Wow." " Not bad." "Pretty good." "Okay." "2:30, 3:00 in the morning, And we're all in our tent." "We have a huge, Nine-man tent out there." "And all of us are bedded down, Buttoned down." "And we just start hearing These awful, loud noises." "And about 20 feet Just outside of the campsite," "You could see A huge figure." "And it was Absolutely huge." "It was probably 7 1/2, 8 1/2, 9 feet tall." "And we run, and it's about A mile back to my house," "And I don't think A single one of us stopped." "Until we got there." "And my dad was awake." "It was about 6:00 In the morning." "Comes into my room, Wakes me up." "And he says, "You have got To come out here and hear this."" "He takes me Out to the porch." "We are listening To this howling." "That's coming From the mountain ridge." "We was traveling On the road." "And just entered Into north carolina." "On the madison county side." "We was driving Down the road." "We was going About 45 miles an hour." "A creature thing Was running beside us." "It ran over And jumped over the guardrail." "In over about The last five to six years," "We've had A lot of encounters." "Tree knocks, whoops." "We sort of just tried to leave Them alone as much as possible." "Because, you know, I was one of those." "That if I ever seen it, I'd kill it." "So everybody would know." "But after hearing them talking Back and forth to each other," "I just leave them alone And let them..." "Isn't that amazing?" "And that's what people think." "They say, "If I see one, I'm gonna kill one."" "And then, when they have An encounter, they're like," ""These things Are just way too much."" "Like these intelligent things." ""It's just... it'd be Like shooting a caveman."" "It's just, like, You wouldn't do it." "Yeah." "You guys Are not disappointing." "That was our best town hall In a long time." "That town hall was fantastic." "We have over 40 witnesses." "It was hairy..." "Reddish-brown hair," "Big, glowing eyes." "It stood there, And it swayed back and forth." "We found A partial footprint." "Where the creature Stepped up on the bank." "By the time I got in the trailer." "And shut the door, It hit the trailer." "That's only one thing In this world it could be," "And that's a bigfoot." "That's good in one way," "But bad in that That's way too many." "For us to even Scratch the surface of." "Without some help." "So we're gonna have to call in Some reinforcements." "So we can really split up And check these out." "Look at all this." "It's spread all over the place." "And so much of this is just Great mountain habitat." "Just, where do we start?" "I knew asheville Would be a good spot," "But it was better Than I could have hoped for." "We're overloaded." "There's too many stories, Too many reports." "And you look at the map Where they plot it," "It's the whole western half Of the state." "We're gonna need To call in some backup." "I mean, we can't handle this On our own." "Hey!" "There they are." "Mily." "That's been experiencing Sasquatches for centuries." "After being inundated With a multitude of stories." "At town hall," "We knew We're gonna need some help," "So we decided to call in Some reinforcements." "To help us cover All of this ground." "There they are." "We were brought out here By ernie and his family." "To investigate the sasquatch Reports they've been having," "So it just makes sense." "That we bring in family members Of our own to help out." " Hey!" " Hey!" "You found us!" " Hey!" " Hey!" "I know that kid." "I've called my brother rob." "Ranae called in laura, Her cousin." "Glad you made it." "Matt's called in his son leo." "And bobo called up bud..." "His bro, His brother from another mother." "Good to see you." "Nice seeing you." "Of all the family and friends That we've invited out," "Leo is the only one That is confident." "That sasquatches Are real animals." "But that's okay, Because rob, laura, and bud..." "Even though they're not 100% believers," "They're all open to the idea." "And they're gonna be A great help on this expedition." "Good to see you, bud." "Well, the help Has finally arrived." "And, boy, Were you all necessary," "Because we had One of the biggest town halls," "In terms of witnesses, That we've ever had." "They're spread out All over the place." "So we really do Have to spread out." "And go in, like, Four different directions." "And hit up multiple locations With each team." "Our first witness That we spoke to." "Is this guy named ernie." "Three generations Of his family." "Had seen sasquatches On his property before." "So we figured, "Well, you know what?" "We might as well Bring our family out."" "So we're really stoked You guys are here." "Yep." "I brought in My good buddy bud." "He's a drummer In our bigfoot rock band," "The yamarone brothers." "It's the world's greatest Bigfoot rock 'n' roll band." "And he used to play drums For sublime." "When we went 'squatching 20 years ago," "Nothing happened," "And he's been wanting to go Ever since." "So I thought this was A perfect chance." "Well, you brought in A yamarone brother." "I brought in A barackman brother..." "The real thing here, man." "This is my brother rob." "He's never been out Bigfooting with me before," "But I thought this was The perfect opportunity." "Well, I invited my cousin laura." "Our family reunions Back in south dakota." "Behind My grandmother's house..." "I had her believing that bigfoot Lived on laframboise island." "And terrified her." "Sounds like you're still Trying to terrify me." "Some things never change." "And this is my son leo." "Cliff and bobo and ranae, You've all met him years ago." "You are bigger." "He's a big boy now." "And he's ready To go 'squatching with us." "Is this your first time Coming out with your dad, leo?" "No." "I've been with him out Quite a bit before," "But this Is the first time" "I'm out investigating Witnesses with him." "Well, the one I want To check out is kendra," "Because her And another witness..." "And there was even a third one That brought up spruce pine." "Apparently that's a place where A lot of stuff has happened." "And just those bunch Of witnesses in that one area." "Tend to corroborate Each other." "Laura, I picked david davis." "That'll be the witnesses That we follow up with." "They were out at this location With his two sons at a campfire." "All three of them said they Saw it... multiple witnesses." "More importantly, They were terrified." "Awesome." "Well, rob, I chose these two guys." "Who are Bigfoot investigators..." "David and rex." "They have a lot of stuff Going on." "In this one Particular area." "But, most importantly, They have evidence." "They have a cast that they claim Is the best one ever pulled." "Well, I clearly want to go Take a look at that." "And I'd love To show it to you." "Because you know Your casts." " I'd like to think so." " You do." "Okay, I'm gonna take you with me." "Down to the far Southwest corner," "Way over there." "Guy named tim, a hunter." "The reason I picked him is He had action all year long." "Aggressive 'squatches Throwing rocks, growling." "Sounds like a good time." "Yeah, it will be." "Okay, We all have our partners," "And we all have our witnesses That we want to go speak to." "Let's break apart For a couple days." "And reconvene after that To compare notes." " Let's do it." " Sounds good." "Great." "So, we've mapped out reports." "Across the entire western part Of the state," "And we've developed A plan of action." "We're gonna send out four groups To four different areas." "Bobo and ranae are gonna head To the south," "While cliff's team and my team Are gonna go out a day later." "And hit areas closer To asheville." "Doing it this way will allow us To hit a lot more areas." "And hopefully find The perfect spot." "Or our final Night investigation." "So, I invited bud," "A buddy of mine From the old punk-rock days." "Down in southern california." "Bud's always been a drummer." "He's drummed in tons of bands, Most notably sublime." "We used to hang out A lot together on the road," "Spent a lot of time with bud." "I took bud 'squatching About 20 years ago," "Nothing happened." "We've been trying to get out," "But never been able To coordinate it until now." "Bud, I wish you were There at the town hall The other night." "It was incredible." "One guy I wanted you To check out with me." "Was tim." "He's had ongoing activity On his hunting property." "For five to six years Straight." "And what's most important For us is year-round." "Really?" "Yeah." "No matter what season." "I've gone out 'squatching before." "But it was, Like, all fun and games." "This is more of, like, Almost "Csi" kind of stuff," "Where we're looking Into specific evidence." "Luckily, I've watched a lot Of crime-investigation stories." "So I think I got My inspector clouseau on." " Hey, tim." " Hey, guys." "Beautiful spot, man." "Thank you." "This is my friend... bud." "Hey, nice to meet you." "Yeah, thanks For bringing us out here." "This place is killer." "Yeah, it ain't bad." "This is a real pretty part Of the country." "You've got real mountains, Steep terrain." "You pull up that little holier," "It's got rhododendrons Over the whole flank." "I mean, it's just This beautiful little spot." "There's little Grass meadow areas." "It's the perfect spot For deer and bigfoot." "Like, geographically speaking, Like, where are we right now," "And how remote?" "Are there homes In the area?" "No." "It's all national forest." "For hundreds of thousands Of acres." "So, how far are we From the appalachian trail?" "Through the wood, 8 or 10 miles." "And if you know The right ridges," "You can be there A lot quicker than that." "And 'squatches know that." "Yeah, that's for sure." "Yeah, the reason I brought bud up here with me." "Is because you guys have Year-round action." "And most people We heard at town hall." "Were mostly summertime Or warm-weather months." "Just when we think It's gonna quit," "It starts up again." "What would keep the 'squatches Here year-round?" "Is there something unique About this area?" "Is there a lot or animals, Or is it warmer?" "The weather ain't quite as bad 'cause it's shielded." "And also, We have feeders out." "That keep the deer And 'coons." "And that kind of stuff Here year-round." "Tim is a hard-core Year-round hunter." "He puts up game cameras." "With salt licks and deer feeders In front of them." "That brings in the deer." "And the deer bring in The 'squatches." "While it's never been caught On a game camera," "Theres lots of stories From hunters." "Of salt licks Being carried off by bigfoots." "So, what was the first thing You noticed here." "That made you think, "This could be a bigfoot"?" "I was setting up In this loft," "Waiting on a wild hog to come in To a feeder in the yard." "And three 'coons come out To feed at the feeder." "And all of a sudden, They run back." "And something caught One of them." "And whatever caught it Started whistling." "And it would do that And wait about 5 or 10 seconds," "And then It would do it again." "Did something answer it When it whistled?" "Not that we heard." "Then I tried to think Of what could be whistling." "When you've been in the woods As long as I have," "You pretty much figure out What sounds the animals make." "And it was nothing That I'd ever heard before." "We're you open to the idea Of bigfoot prior to that?" "Well, I'm one of them, "Yeah, maybe" S." "But after that, we've sort of Come to accept it, you know?" "You just come in, Don't bother them," "And hope They don't bother you." "On the way here, bud asked me If you had any evidence." "And I said, "Well, he's got photos."" "Yeah." "I've got some here On my tablet." "One is where you can see it Looking around a tree." "Is that a shoulder and a head, You think?" "Yeah." "It's just about got to be, Because the way that..." "As big as it is And the way that it slope," "It ain't a bear's head Because a bear's ears..." "Yeah..." "Are up on top." "They're not Over to the side." "And I don't think It's anybody," "Because I ain't seen Nobody that big." "How big do you think It is, about?" "I would say..." "Just guessing from the size Of the tree and stuff..." "Its shoulders would probably be At least that wide." "You said that you had A picture of a footprint." "Can I see that one?" "Yeah." "It's right here." "And we compared it To my buddy's foot." "What size shoe does he wear?" "He wears a size 10 1/2." "10 1/2?" "And it's a lot bigger Than he is." "That's pretty long." "I'd say about Another 6 or 7 inches." "Longer than..." "That's not a human barefoot Running around." "If he is," "I don't want To meet him, either." "This place Just reeks 'squatch." "I mean, this place, You look around," "No one would doubt that You had these experiences." "In this beautiful, Little valley." "Yeah." "There's something going on." "And we can't explain it." "That's the reason I wanted To get ahold of you guys." "Well, I like this spot a lot." "Bud and I have been buddies For over 20 years." "And he's been wanting To get out with me." "You mind Taking us out tonight?" "Well, I'll let you go." "I don't have my gun." "And I don't go through here Without some kind of gun." "At nighttime?" "Nighttime, daytime, Morning time, any time." "Wow." "If I hear someone's Running from a 'squatch spot 'cause it's too scary, I'm running to that spot." "We're gonna save some money On gas tonight," "Because we don't got to drive Anywhere to go 'squatching." "We going right here." "So, this is where we're gonna do Our night investigation." "I reached out To my cousin laura." "To come help us investigate These bigfoot reports." "We've always been close Over the years." "But I've never gone bigfooting With any of my relatives," "And I think laura would be The perfect one for the job." "Laura and I are on our way To meet with david davis." "And his two sons." "While they were out camping," "They believe a bigfoot Was stalking them." "In the middle of the night." "Well, I'm really glad That you're coming along." "Not just 'cause you're a cousin." "This is gonna be fun." "But additionally, laura, You're a parent." "Who has two sons, You know, about that age." "Right." "You have that insight Of where kids have a tendency." "To maybe overreact And exaggerate." "I may not be a bigfoot expert, Obviously." "But what I can bring To this investigation." "Is my experience as a parent And a teacher." "Yeah." "You're working with kids All day long." "You know How they tell tales," "Or you know how They get excited in the moment." "And build something up From here to there." "Right." "There they are." "Hey, guys!" "Hey." "How are you?" "Sweet, little spot Back here." "I understand why You'd want to go camping." "It's absolutely gorgeous." "This is my cousin, Laura." "Hey, laura." "Pleasure to meet you." "Good to see you guys." "So, now that we are At this location," "Can you share with us What happened to you guys." "That day and evening?" "Absolutely." "They were having A campout." "And having a little Airsoft war party." "Somewhere during the middle Of the matches we were playing," "The campsite Just starts getting, like," "Pelted sporadically Here and there." "With, Like, little pebbles." "It gets to be about, you know, Late in the evening." "And so we decide To bed down." "It's about 2:30, 3:00." "We start hearing A lot of ruckus." "And a lot of noises Like branches breaking." "And just around the perimeter Of the camp out here," "Something huge Just starts coming out." "And all of a sudden, Just, like," "The largest barrel-chested, Deep-throated, guttural noise." "Just issues from it." "Where we've come to investigate All the sightings." "Along the appalachian trail." "After an overwhelming number Of reports at the town hall," "We called in our friends And family." "To help us investigate." "Right now, Ranae and her cousin laura." "Are meeting with witnesses." "Who had A very strange encounter." "And all of a sudden, Just, like," "The largest, barrel-chested, Deep-throated, guttural noise." "Just issues from it." "You could feel, like, The tremors through the tent." "Every one of us Were scared to death." "But then, it just meandered on Out of the campsite." "Well, what was it doing Out there?" "Was it, you know, Upright the whole time," "Or was it bending over?" "Looked like it was just Scouting out the place," "Seeing What was going on." "It just turned to us Immediately," "And it was just like." "Something deep And throaty like that." "And you could just tell It was, like, barrel-chested." "And had come From deep within." "And you did feel like it was Directed at the tent?" "Yeah." "It felt like It was trying to intimidate us," "Like, So we wouldn't do anything." "Did it work?" " Yeah." " Absolutely." "So, you're positive, All three of you," "It could not be a bear?" " No." " I don't think it was a bear." "I mean, this thing Stood upright and walked." "From as far as we had A visual on it from there." "All the way Till it was gone." "So, I don't know Of any bears that can do that." "This is exactly Where the tent was?" "Absolutely, yup." "And you had a campfire, Which was located where?" "It's just over there, About 15, 20 feet away." "Probably right there." "And where was The figure standing." "When you all saw it Through this window?" "Just right over here." "That's close." "Yeah." "It was a little Too close for comfort." "I'm definitely not saying Nothing happened." "Those kids and that dad, They were scared," "And they definitely Saw something really big." "What they saw, I don't know." "So, now that We are at this location," "We can try to get an idea Of how big it is." "'Cause the whole point Of being here." "Is we want to rule out All other possibilities." "All right." "Sounds good." "All right, I'm gonna head over there." "And you guys tell me Where I'm in the right spot." "Let's hop on in." "You can look through the window." "And we can get ranae In the correct position." "Okay." "Love to." "Okay, so it's this tree Right here, david?" "Yes, ma'am." "This one?" "That one right there." "Okay." "David, you mentioned A particular branch." "Is that it right there, Next to ranae there?" "Yup." "The branch right there Above her head," "Where she's got Her hand right now." "Okay, so the figure's head Went by this branch?" "I'd say the shoulders Were probably square." "With that branch Right there." "Saying..." "Here?" "Yeah." "That's exactly it." "That's about 10 inches Above my shoulder." "So, boys, You saw it walking, right?" "Yeah." "And it didn't seem." "To be paying Much attention to you." "Can you describe to ranae How it was moving along?" "Yeah." "Just a slow, casual walk," "Just like The patterson film." "You saw its profile as it walked Right here to pass these trees?" "Yes, ma'am." "Kind of, like, Maybe something like this." "Yes, ma'am." "A little slower." "A little more deliberate." "And then where did it stop?" "It stopped right about In that exact spot That you're at now." "Right here, okay." "So, you guys are opening That zipper at that window," "And it turns And looks at you face on?" "Squared up with us, yup." "And then it growled." "Exactly." "Maybe not that vicious, But something like that." "Rah!" "You've heard bears growl And grunt out here," "Or have you not?" " I have, absolutely have." " Okay." "And it was not a bear?" "It was not." "It lasted a lot longer Than a bear's growl," "And was very much deeper." "And it could've just Been the moment," "But it seemed Like it was deeper." "Than anything I've ever heard In these woods before." "All right, well, We've got the measurements." "I'm heading back over, Guys." "They're positive That they saw a bigfoot." "But I cannot rule out The possibilities." "That that wasn't a person." "They saw a figure briefly, A few seconds at a time." "By a dimly lit, Coal-based campfire." "Walking About 50, 60 yards away." "Still, laura and I, we're gonna Hang out here tonight." "And do some investigating Of our own." "We'll see if we can uncover." "What was really Scaring that family." "While they were out camping." "Meanwhile, bobo and bud Are gonna conduct." "A night investigation Of their own." "Near a cavernous area." "At the foot Of the appalachian trail." "Look at this." "Wow." "There's a nice rock overhang Right there." "Might be a cave." "Yeah, it is." "This is pretty cool." "Mountain lion, bear, 'squatches... anything." "Why wouldn't a 'squatch Chill up here?" "I'm gonna try a whoop." "I'll bounce it Off the rock." "Yeah." "Here you go." "Whoop!" "Whoop!" "Want to try to whoop?" "Yeah." "Whoop!" "Yeah." "Whoop!" "Dude, that's it." "Eat your heart out, Cliff." "Hey, laura." "This is a good tree For a wood-knock right here." "Now we just want to listen." "And hopefully we hear A response," "Hear a wood-knock back." "Actually, you want to do A swing at it?" "Yeah." "All right." "Batter up." "Nicely done, cousin." "Way to do grandma proud." "I have to admit, I'm hoping For an uneventful night." "I'm hoping for An eventful night, laura." "Yeah, I know you are." "What do you think?" "What do you believe?" "Do you think there's An undiscovered bipedal ape." "Running around north america Undetected?" "A flesh-and-blood animal?" "I don't think so." "It doesn't seem likely that, You know," "Something would be so elusive, Yet there's so many sightings." "It just... it doesn't seem To make sense." "As a scientist, As a field biologist," "I just don't see any evidence That supports it." "However, I'm fascinated By the phenomena," "And I would gladly Be proven wrong." "We should move up this trail, Hit another spot." "All right." "Hey, bud." "Yeah?" "I want to do A couple knocks." "Ooh!" "That hurt." "Yes." "Damn." "That was bad." "Pshew, pshew!" "That's what drums are, Is hollowed-out trees." "You're a natural, bud." " Dude, you hear that?" "!" " I did." "Bud, that sounded like Wood on wood to me." "It was like Knock, knock, knock, knock." "I think there was four." "I heard four." "Dude, I think I have something." "Carolina," "Where reports of bigfoots Run rampant." "While ranae And her cousin laura." "Are in the midst Of a rainy investigation." "On one part Of the appalachian trail," "Bobo and bud are exploring A portion of the trail." "That's riddled with caves." "And bobo and his friend bud Just got something on therm." "Dude, I think I have something." "Right up there, There's something glowing hot." "I don't think That's an animal." "Unless it's something Laying down." "I think it's a rock." "But still, A rock doesn't knock." "So hopefully, if that was Something knocking," "It knocks again Or throws a rock or something." "Yeah." "It turns out What we were looking at." "Glowing hot on the therm Was just a rock." "But we definitely heard Knocking sounds coming." "From that general direction." "So bud and I will go up there." "And see if we can figure out What made that noise." "All right." "This is a good sign, bud." "Yeah, it is." "Let's go find him." "Okay, laura, right here." "It's time To do a vocalization." "All right." "Let's go, cuz." "That was good." "That was good." "Let's give it a listen." "Okay, I'm gonna try one here." "You got some lungs." "It's a family thing, you know." "Got good genes." "I can't help but wonder..." "The knocks and the howls, I would think..." "You know, this creature, I guess," "Has a reputation Of being elusive." "I would think That would make him run away." "Instead of respond." "I agree." "You know, Wouldn't you want." "To just be Stealth and quiet." "And hope you hear something, And then just observe?" "But the guys believe that It's a technique." "That they can use To draw them in closer," "And then they want To videotape it." "Wow." "It wraps around up here." "This is pretty epic." "You can just feel it." "Like, this is the spot." "I think we should do Some calls from here." "You're right." "He would hear it Through the whole canyon." "Should I do The angry growl?" "Do what ever you feel." "You just got to channel Enough force." "That was rad." "Bud and I definitely heard Something out here tonight." "Something made those knocks." "We tried to get more responses." "Nothing worked." "We never figured out What it was." "Think we need to find Another spot." "For our final overnight." "With an opportunity To bring in an extra hand," "I can't think of anybody else" "I'd rather bring out Than my older brother rob." "I really looked up to him." "And took after him In so many ways." "Everything From my quirky mannerisms," "Shockingly good looks," "And sense of humor Can be blamed on rob." "And finally, rob's gonna Come out with me." "On an investigation." "And hear firsthand From witnesses." "What they've been finding." "I guess it's kind of like "Take your kid to work" day," "Except that my kid is 5 years Older and 4 inches taller." "We're gonna go visit David and rex," "Two bigfoot researchers." "That have been working one Relatively small area for years," "And claim to have Ongoing activity." "And really important Things, too..." "They saw one This time last year." "And, probably Most important of all," "They have Some hard evidence." "They have A footprint in cast." "That they claim Is one of the best, if not the best, Ever collected." "Now, obviously, that kind of Pricked my ears up," "And that's why I wanted to go." "Yeah, 'cause you have Your own collection Of over 200 casts." "Exactly." "I've got quite a few Of these things." "But I think if you get A good look at that cast." "And compare it To what you know." "From all the ones That you have," "You'll be able to tell Whether it's real or not." "Hey, guys." "Hey, guys." "Hi." " Little chilly." " Yes, it is." "Now, you guys have been having A lot of activity." "On this property and nearby For quite a while, right?" " Yes." " Yes." "We actually operate a bigfoot Research group out of this." "I have a dedicated team." "We've been on property Now since 2013." "Well, back me up." "What's some Of the earliest stuff." "That kind of started Clueing you in." "That sasquatches Might be in the area?" "Well, the main thing That we found, 2010," "Was a footprint." "My neighbor gave us a call." "And told us To check something out." "So I got my camera, and me And my brother went up there." "And when I saw it, I was blowed away." "It made one footprint Across this road." "It had to have a stride Of over 6 foot." "And we decided To take a cast of it." "Now, is that the cast That you guys told me about..." "Is the best one ever made?" "The best one I have ever seen." "Okay." "I think it's time." "I'd like to see the cast, Please." " Okay." " Absolutely." "At cliff's house, He has a shed in the back." "And there are shelves in there," "And it's lined with literally Hundreds of bigfoot casts." "It seems to me The casting of bigfoot prints." "Is cliff's life." "He can look at a cast And tell you." "Whether it's legit or not In just seconds." "It's interesting." "It's not super deep." "I do like The shape of the toes." "Now, cliff, Would you expect the toes." "To be looking this rounded Along like that?" "In some cases, yes." "And, initially, I had a brief concern because..." "You see the steep ledge." "To the inside of the toe pads Right there?" "That can sometimes Be indicative of a hoax." "Because the way, like, a plank Would go out of the ground..." "As someone walks across." "There are some things About this cast." "That kind of worry me." "The heel impression Is very distinct." "The toes are Kind of squarish in a way." "And I've seen that before." "In cookie-cutter-style stompers, You know?" "Like fake feet, basically." "Now, I don't know That's what made this," "Because we only have One cast." "No other casts To compare it to." "We almost have No information." "Okay, I understand One of you gentlemen." "Has had an eye-witness account Here at the property." "Who was that?" "What happened?" "That would be me." "Okay." "So, about this time Last year," "Myself and two other researchers Were on property." "We were about 100 yards away From where we're standing now." "When they thought Maybe they saw some eye shine." "And something run Across the property." "Right behind you guys." "So I walked off by myself To try to find the creature." "Maybe less than 100 yards Behind you guys," "I saw it step out, Look from behind the tree." "Mber." "Of sasquatch sightings Coming out of an area." "Near north carolina's Appalachian trail." "We've called our families And friends." "To help us investigate All these reports." "And right now, Cliff and his brother rob." "Are meeting with two witnesses." "Who've had multiple experiences On the same property." "I saw it step out, Look from behind the tree." "And this thing just gave me A quick glance, stepped back in," "And it was over with That quick." "About how far away were you At that point?" "Maybe 30, 40 feet From the creature." " That's pretty close." " Yeah." "So, how big was this thing That you were looking at?" "I believe it to be Around 7 1/2 to 8 feet tall." "Okay." "And that's based on What it was standing next to?" "Yes." "So, I could clearly see The full shoulder," "The arm, And half of the head area." "Wasn't really a neck That I can make out, 'cause, I mean, it was just a Really thick, massive creature." "When you were at 30 feet away From the creature or so," "And you were staring at him, Were you just having," "Like, a stare fight Looking back at each other?" "No." "I couldn't tell you What it was doing." "When it looked at me." "But I had no fear That it was gonna hurt me." "What else has been Going on nearby?" "Tree knocks, Whoops, yells, grunts." "And we actually have gifts That have been for us." "On the property..." "Rocks that they have left us On our trailhead." "There's clearly Something going on." "On this property And around it." "This property looks perfect For this kind of action." "And there's just Too many little things." "That all kind of add up." "A lot of "Maybes" equal A "Probably" at this point," "You know?" "I cannot say for sure." "Whether that cast Or any of the activity." "That's been going on On this property is real." "However, I do know." "That there's a lot Of bigfoot activity." "All along The appalachian trail," "So maybe they're here." "So, rob and I are gonna Hang out for a while," "Wait for the sun to go down," "And then do our own Night investigation." "Right where rex and dave said." "They've been getting So much activity." "Here in asheville, They really like their beer." "I think they like their beer." "More than they like Their bibles." "There's more breweries." "Than there are churches In this town." "Bobo found this one brewery That has a sasquatch beer," "So we're gonna go Check that out." "I mean, it's a given, right?" "Cheers." "Got a good flavor." " That's pretty unique." " Yeah." "That'd be perfect... 'squatch hunting With a sasquash." "It's called sasquash?" "That is the sasquash." "Did a little spin on The butternut squash That's in there." "Got it." "Yeah." "'Squatching is thirsty business." "Beer is great and all, but I'm here for what's left over." "After they make the beer..." "The spent grains." "When you brew beer, You're left over." "With all these spent grains." "And farmers'll come haul it off." "And slop it to their hogs And chickens." "They report When they put it out," "The bigfoots will come right in," "Not even look At the chickens and pigs," "And just grab that slop And just eat it." "It's like the breakfast Of champions here." "It is." "I always thought It would be a good idea." "To go to 'squatch A little drunk, you know?" "'Cause then they'd start, like, Getting loud and loose." "And show themselves." "Kind of like me." "So, bud and I are gonna Take some of that spent grain." "Out with us, spread it around, Put some trail cams up," "And hopefully we bring in A bigfoot." "If it doesn't bring in A bigfoot right away," "It can still Attract deer and pig." "And that can attract A 'squatch." "So, when bud and I meet up With the rest of the team." "For the final Night investigation," "We'll have a secret weapon." "Leo has been with me a few times Before on expeditions," "But this is the first time." "He's come with me To a witness investigation," "So it's pretty special For him and for me." "Leo has heard me." "Talking to witnesses On the phone many times," "So he knows the interview Process that I go through." "I'm interested to see What questions he'll have." "And if he's got That investigation talent, too." "This is so great That you came to help me out." "I know you've never been To this part of the country." "Yeah, I'm stoked." "This is awesome." "So, who are we going To meet right now?" "Her name is kendra." "She was at The town hall meeting." "Something wakes her up, She looks out her window," "And she's saying 15 feet outside the window." "Is this big, Reddish-haired thing," "And then it just turns And walks away." "Wow." "So, when I'm out there With you," "What should I be Paying attention to?" "Is there Any telltale signs." "That I should kind of Be looking for?" "You know, that's just something That comes from experience," "Because you get a feeling." "From somebody Who's making up a story." "And you don't get That feeling." "From somebody Who's telling you." "Just something That happened to them." "I'll be paying attention To her." "The thing you should be Paying attention to." "Is the environment." "Think, is this The sort of place that," "If you were a bigfoot," "You could skulk around And feel safe and at home," "Knowing that nobody Can easily shoot you," "Or even see you?" "How you doing?" "I'm good." "How are you?" "Very good." "Happy we found this place." "Yeah, it's kind of back there, Isn't it?" "This is my son, leo." "He's come out to help us Check out some of these cases." "Hey." "Nice to meet you." "When my dad and I drove up On kendra's property," "The first thing I noticed is That one side of her property." "Is facing other houses," "And the other side is backed up Against wilderness." "To me, this is perfect." "It's almost like window shopping For a sasquatch." "This is the window That I looked out." "And seen it standing." "And where was it standing?" "It was standing Right down in that area." "Okay." "So, when this happened, You're inside here." "And what are you doing?" "What's going on?" "It was christmas day, 2:40 in the morning." "I was laying on the bed." "Me and my husband Had been talking." "I happened to look over To my left." "And when I did, I seen something standing there." "It was huge." "Trail." "Has had an abundance Of bigfoot sightings," "So the team is here To investigate." "After hearing A plethora of reports." "Spanning the whole trail," "We decided to call on some Friends and family for backup." "I flew in my son leo." "To help me follow up With a witness." "Who had a sighting At her house." "Just a couple of weeks ago." "I look over to my left, And I seen something huge." "I looked at it, And I looked at my husband." "And I looked back at it." "It knew I was looking at it, And it just turned." "And it was gone." "And I watched it for Probably about 30, 40 seconds." "That's really long." "Wow." "Yeah." "You turned your face Right toward it," "And you guys were just Facing each other?" "Right." "So, what exactly Did that look like?" "Its face was not Covered all in fur." "Around in here, It was a darker flesh color." "So it was kind of like A big, bulky, man-shaped thing," "Just with fur all over it, Except for around in here?" "Yes." "How tall Do you think it was?" "As I looked out The bedroom window," "It was taller Than the bird feeder." "Then that's a big animal." "Definitely." "And I got my husband up." "And I told him, "There's Something red out there"." "And that "It's huge."" "And he comes out On the porch," "And he could hear it take off In the woods that direction." "It went down the hill Through the woods?" "Yes." "So, what is off that way?" "Is it just pure wilderness, Or is there more houses?" "There's nothing from there Way on down in the woods." "Wow." "Yeah." "You know, I'd really like To get a better perspective." "On what you saw." "So, what we could do is," "Leo, would you mind Standing down there?" "We'll tell you Where to position yourself." "And we'll go back in there." "And have a look At where her eye line was." "And get a feel For how big it was." "And what it was doing." "Yeah." "It sounds good." "I'll do it." "All right." "Let's head on in." "Kendra says that what she saw Was about 7 or 8 feet tall." "One thing I've learned From my dad." "Is that people can be a little Inaccurate with measurements," "So I'm gonna stand in For the sasquatch," "Then see if it matches up." "Wow." "And your head is Nowhere near the top Of this bird feeder." "It might have been a 9-footer." "Leo, are you able to find any Kind of a stick around there?" "Well, I see some over here." "Okay, yeah." "Raise that stick up slowly." "Until I tell you to stop." "Is that... more?" "Yes." "More?" "About right there." "Yeah, right in there." "Boy." "That was a big one." "Yes, that was a tall, Full-grown sasquatch." "I've heard that these things Are 7 or 8, even 9 feet tall." "But once you see How tall that stick is," "It really hits you That this thing is giant." "And, boy, I would not want To be out in the wilderness." "With one of those things." "Okay." "Let's try and get a gauge On how wide it was." "Stop." "Right there." "Wow." "That's definitely An adult." "That's a big, tall, Wide thing." "I'd say about 4 feet." "I'm so used to bobo helping us With the size comparison," "So it was kind of new With leo doing it." "But he did a great job." "Great." "We're coming out." "All right." "And, you know, Even bobo would have." "Had to get a stick In this situation." "That was a tall critter Outside this window." "Well, kendra, coming here, Hearing your story," "Especially Seeing this place," "I have absolutely no doubt There was a sasquatch here." "There is definitely Bigfoot here." "No doubt about it, Kendra saw a sasquatch." "And she told us that Other neighbors around here." "Have seen them also." "So, that's great." "This is the perfect spot To keep investigating." "So leo and I are gonna cruise Around in a car in this area." "In order to cover more ground." "Meanwhile, Cliff and his brother rob." "Are gonna head out On a night investigation." "In rex and david's spot." "Do you see anything?" "Just trees." "That's the great thing About this spot." "It's so thick." "Anything could be out there." "Can I take a look Through the therm." "To see What you're not seeing?" "Yeah." "Are you seeing anything?" "A lot of nothing." "Because the lens cap is on." "That would do it, Wouldn't it?" "There you go." "Much better." "Now I see it." "Why don't you film me." "So you can kind of see What a mammal would look like." "Well, do a little dance for me Or something." "Here, look, I'll do this." "And watch." "Kind of cool." "Yeah." "Cool." "Thanks, bud." "Kind of cool." "Leo, we're not terribly far away From kendra's place." "It's just across the river In this direction." "I noticed On the aerial photos." "That there's an area with just Big, open meadows up ahead." "I'm guessing there's probably Gonna be deer in there." "And that's the area, Around the perimeter," "That you want to look With the thermal." "Okay." "And if you see a heat blip, Just tell me to stop." "So, you got a grip On the controls?" "Yep, yep." "Okay." "But go ahead, Start therming out the side." "Look in the woods To tell me if you spot deer." "Leo's been with me On a few big expeditions," "But this is the first time." "It's just been him and I Going around, and it's great." "He's getting to see What I did for a lot of years," "Beginning about his age." "So, I think the last time You came out with me," "We went out... was probably In washington state, wasn't it," "On the olympic peninsula?" "Yeah." "When I was 9, I believe." "We were At the edge of a field," "And the moon Was so bright," "We didn't need any flashlights Or thermals or anything." "It was amazing." "Yep, this field is cold." "Look, look, look." "There's turkey tracks Over there." "Yep." "So that means There's turkeys around." "Those are in the snow, so..." "That's good." "Look for those, too." "That's good food For 'squatches." "You bet." "Do you mind if I, like, Get out." "And sit on this For a little bit?" "Sure." "Don't drop that therm." "I won't." "Well, that's something That bobo wouldn't do." "Yep, I see now." "What?" "There is something." "Yep, yep, yep, yep." "Horse." "Sure it's a horse?" "Yeah." "Let's keep a goin'." "All right, robbie." "See, you can see the water." "Down there, the lake?" "Yeah." "That's good For two reasons." "First of all, If you can see it," "That means that our sounds are Gonna go through the trees," "Because trees Actually absorb sound." "Like sponges absorb water." "Yeah." "We can see Right through here," "So that'll be good." "Yeah." "Okay, so, I'm gonna do the first one," "We'll wait a little while, Then you do the second one." "Okay." "All right." "You up for one?" "I'll give it a shot." "I have no idea what this Is gonna sound like." "Well, that's part Of the fun, isn't it?" "For you." "Well, bigfooting Is nothing if not fun." "Okay." "You're a natural." "Beginner's luck." "Those are geese." "That sound is traveling Very well." "See, I think That's another reason." "That sasquatches Would want to hang out." "In a place like this..." "Because A really well-placed rock," "You know, would bring a couple Of those things down." "If thrown right." "Boom, goose dinner." "It's like bowling." "We're close to the edge Of the lake now." "Would it be a good idea To go to the lake." "And try to therm Along the edge." "To see if you get Any action that way?" "You know, why not?" "Okay." "And who knows, Maybe there's even prints." "Or something like that Down there." "Hey, look at that." "Nice, deep valley In there," "Real wind protected." "Let's do some howls." "Let's do it." "All right." "Here goes nothing." "Yeah." "Listen!" "That was definitely one." "Did you hear that?" "!" "Yeah." "North carolina." "We're investigating A multitude of sightings." "Along the appalachian trail." "While cliff and his brother rob Explore a property." "Where bigfoots are said To repeatedly visit," "My son leo and I are spending The night at a location." "Where a bigfoot was seen Just weeks ago." "And we just heard A bigfoot howl." "Listen!" "That was definitely one." "Did you hear that?" "!" "Yeah." "Yeah!" "Was that...?" "It's still going!" "Yeah." "That was one." "Yeah." "No, it was before those." "Those are coyotes." "There was a further one That was deeper." "I think I just heard My first 'squatch." "Waaaaaaaah!" "We could hear it In the distance." "And it keeps going and going." "That's a sasquatch, No doubt about it." "It kind of sounds like bobo, But even bigger." "It's definitely a 'squatch." "It was deep." "Coyotes are in back of us." "That was over there." "I'm gonna do it deeper." "Do it again." "You see how much effort it takes Driving around," "Checking things out?" "You're kind of Narrowing it down," "And then you just Get the feeling that," "Yeah, this looks like the area They'd be in." "And then you do it, And there you hear one." "Well, we have The water right at us." "We might as well Do a couple calls." "You want to do them?" "Can I whoop it?" "You can do Whatever you like." "That was longer Than the first one." "That's what she said." "Did you hear that?" "I heard that." "From that direction, I heard something." "We got a response." "There's no other noises, Either." "That was A long ways away." "Obviously on the other side Of the lake." "It couldn't have been An echo..." "No." "No, that wasn't An echo." "That far after." "How about I try to whoop," "Just to see If I can get a response?" "Yeah, and plus, you know," "We need to eliminate The possibility That that's an echo," "Because it's possible That it is." "You know, That's a long ways away." "And it might Take that long." "For the sound To get over there and back." "I heard it again." "Maybe that is an echo." "I think it is." "All right, you know what?" "I thought you might have heard Your first bigfoot." "But it turns out It was just me and an echo." "That stinks." "Rob's initiation To bigfooting." "Turns out to be mostly What bigfooting is..." "A walk in the dark." "But you know what?" "I don't tie my success To only hearing sasquatches." "Fact is, I got to take My brother bigfooting." "Right there is a success." "We know there's a sasquatch In this valley right now." "And if we stick around And keep making noises," "There's a risk it could Figure out that we're humans." "There's not much else We can do tonight." "With just the two of us," "So we need To back out of here quietly." "And call it a night for now." "We need to come back here Tomorrow with the whole team." "So we can use all that manpower To our advantage." "With eight of us out In the woods." "Making knocks and calls," "That's when we'll have The best chance." "Of getting another response Or maybe some thermal footage." "Matt and leo found." "The perfect final overnight Investigation spot," "So bud and I are Heading there right now." "We're bringing along our Special, secret 'squatch sauce." "Hopefully that stirs us up Some 'squatch action tonight." "We've got this spent grain From the brewery." "We're gonna spread it All around the woods." "Before the sun goes down." "That one's just right." "Hopefully, that sweet smell Attracts a 'squatch," "Because I want to be there." "When bud has his first ever 'squatch encounter." "All right, folks." "This is our final night Here in north carolina," "And it really paid off..." "Bringing all the relatives here." "And split off Into all these teams..." "Because this is where Leo and I heard this howl." "In this area where leo and I Heard the howls," "There's a railroad track Running across the mountainside," "So we're gonna split up Into three groups." "Bobo and bud are gonna walk One way down this railroad bed." "Ranae and laura are gonna go Another way." "Along the railroad bed." "And the third team, Leo and I and cliff And his brother rob," "Are gonna go up the mountainside." "To get as high up as possible Toward an apple orchard." "That's on the rim Of the canyon." "Watch out For that ice there." "Whoa." "There are stories," "Some are even from hope, Where I live," "Of abandoned railroads," "With these caves That are really remote," "With 'squatches building beds Inside of them." "But I think This thing's still used," "So they wouldn't Live here." "But they would definitely Walk through here at night," "Just like we're doing." "Whoa, what's that?" " What is that?" " Get my light." "It's ice." "Look at those icicles." "That's rad." "Way up there." "Dude, a couple Of those big ice spears," "Those like 6-foot ones," "They could fall at any second And just kill you." "Yeah." "Definitely would, too." "Dude, I can't see anything." "I know." "Whoa!" "Where are you?" "You okay?" "Yeah." "I'm all right." "I mean, right now, We're on this open..." "Yeah..." "Area." "But you got an idea of it moving Through the brush a few times," "We were doing that." "There's been sections Where it is..." "My god." "Sorry." "What was that?" "I'm sorry." "I literally felt something Pushing into my back." "Really?" "Like a ghost?" "Yeah." "Was it this?" "Because I was trying..." "Something vibrated In my pack." "This vibrated." "I bet you this thing went off." "It's attached." "Watch." "I did this." "Is that what you felt?" "Yes." "Did you grab it, And I didn't even see it?" "Yes, and I was trying To talk to you." "That was scary." "Look at that." "Okay." "Couldn't have a better Acoustical position than here." "So, rob, I mean," "I've been doing this For over 20-something years." "This is only the second time You've been out." "Hey, why don't you Invite me more?" "I don't know." "I guess..." "That's right." "I don't want to go." "That's right." "Well, now you see Why you don't want to go." "It's too cold." "Did you think it was This glamorous?" "The glamour Is overwhelming." "Cliff, I think you were The first one." "To ever bring me out On my own little expedition," "And it was amazing." "Hey, matt, Can you copy me?" "Hey, it's bobo." "Yeah, bobo, we copy." "Ranae, do you copy?" "Go for ranae." "Okay, bobo, hang on." "Ranae's further up The canyon." "We're gonna Talk to her first." "Ranae, have you got a tree Nearby you can hit." "That'll be loud?" "No, but I can use These rocks." "You're gonna damage your 'squatch stick, but go ahead." "We'll listen." "Here I go in 10." "Yeah, I heard it that way." " You did?" " Yeah." "Definitely sounded Like a rock." "It's good to have young ears On the team." "Did you hear that, matt?" "Leo's young ears heard it, But the rest of us didn't." "Way to go, leo." "Okay, bobo, Go ahead and do yours." "Copy." "Coming up." "Yeah, heard it." "You heard it?" "Even with the hood on?" "It was like A low." "Holy smokes." "Leo, good job." "I been in places Where you could hear things." "That I couldn't." "Well, make sure that you keep Your amplifier volume low," "And don't ruin those ears." "Yeah." "That's pretty good." "All right." "We're gonna do one From up here." "Here you go." "I will make my first attempt At a knock." "Done." "Negative." "I did not hear you." "These two old ears Heard nothing." "That was pretty good." "Shush!" "I thought I heard something." "Yeah." "I kind of heard that, too." " Did you hear that?" " Yeah, I did." "Here, down that way." "Me, too." "Shush." "Ina." "Following up On widespread reports." "Along the appalachian trail." "After receiving A surplus of reports," "We called our friends And family to help." "In hopes of covering More ground," "We split up into three teams For our final night." "And so far, The move has paid off," "As we just heard a vocalization In response to our wood knocks." "I thought I heard something." "Yeah." "I kind of heard that, too." " Did you hear that?" " Yeah, I did." "Here, down that way." "Me, too." "Shush." "Hey, we heard something In the distance," "Almost like A bark response," "So we're gonna have him Do it again." "Copy." "We're listening." "Good." "Done again." "That's a dog." "That's what it was." "It was a dog." "Okay, we got a dog and a cabin Down in the valley," "But that's okay." "Only 634 miles Till we hit miami." "Let's pick up the pace." "We can get there next month." "There's a long, Confirmed history." "Of sasquatch And railroad tracks." "I can see Why they would use this." "It's just like A sidewalk, you know?" "What are you looking at, Monkey?" " Wabbit." " What is that?" "A rabbit?" "Or a possum." "I don't think It's playing possum, either." "No." "I wonder what killed it." "Something smashed his head, Chewed his leg." "His leg's chewed?" "You're right." "But then they stopped." "Strange." "We got to keep our eyes Peeled and see what else." "If there's a predator Utilizing this cave," "We'll see bones on the edge Or something." "Good job, monkey." "Find some more stuff." "This'll work." "Look at this." "Yeah, yeah, yeah." "I can see all the way Down the hill." "Our sounds Are gonna go out." "Let's do some more knocks From here." "Yeah." "Good ideal." "I would hit it, like, On this end or something." "We're trying to make it As loud as we can," "So really swing that thing." "Got a knock coming." "Keep your ears open." "Knock in five." "All right." "Leo, that's your cue, man." " Beautiful." " Goodness." "Done." "Did you hear that?" "That's a negative." "Don't move... wait." "What'd you hear?" "A thump?" "Talk to us, leo." "What's up?" "A distinct knock." "There." "There it was again." " A knock?" " There's something." "I can't tell for sure If it's a knock." "But it's definitely..." "I heard it... twice." "Me, too." "We might have gotten A knock response." "We did not hear Your knock," "And we did not hear That possible response." "Bobo, you got A place... a tree nearby." "That you can do Another knock," "Because we're gonna step up To howls after we do..." "Give knocks A little more chance." "Copy." "That sounded better." "I heard it." "We heard you that time." "So, that means everything In the valley heard it, too." "You hear that?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "Which way?" "Was it coyotes?" "Don't know." "Hey, ranae, I think it's time." "For you to do a howl, Not a scream," "But, like, a long howl As good as you can do it." "All right." "I'll do one of those in 10." "That was impressive." "Thanks, cuz." "Done." "You're in a very good Acoustical position." "We're thinking You should do it again," "If you don't mind." "Can you hear us, bobo?" "I hear you." "Do you mind doing A big, long howl?" "Coming up." "Darn it." "I'm telling you, It was right away last time." "Yeah." "It is so quiet tonight." "Now we've done a bunch of howls," "And they really did carry Through this canyon." "And we're not hearing Any responses," "Not even from coyotes." "And that's in striking contrast To a few nights ago," "Because it was Right after that first howl." "That we heard A 'squatch respond one way." "And a bunch of coyotes From another direction." "But tonight, nothing." "Whatever was here a few nights Ago isn't here anymore." "Good timing." "It was like a cemetery mortuary Where we were." "For up on top, man, It was pretty quiet." "But when you go bigfooting, You don't always hear something." "But if you can spend time In the woods." "With somebody You care about," "That makes everything Worth it." "Yeah, I got to say," "We definitely got to come out With family again." "Absolutely." "I had A fantastic time with everyone." "It was great out here." "And the family that 'squatches Together stays together." " Absolutely." " Yeah, you got that right." "Let's go." "The appalachian trail Is loaded with 'squatch reports," "And this north carolina Expedition." "Just added to that belief." "But what made this trip Extra special." "Is we got To experience this place." "With our friends and family." "My son leo heard His first ever sasquatch howl..." "While we were out together." "On a father-son Night investigation." "Being there with leo to see His reaction was priceless," "An experience I'll never forget." "Yeah." "All of our night investigations Here in north carolina." "Turned up possible evidence Of bigfoots." "Bobo and bud heard knocks." "That were almost certainly Sasquatch related," "And I heard howls..." "On a couple of occasions." "Welcome to The "Finding bigfoot" aftershow," "Where the team answers Questions from their fans." "Okay, whitney t." "From facebook Wants to know," ""You guys were back In north carolina."" "By the appalachian trail." ""What makes that area So good for bigfoots?"" "You guys know this." "Yeah, we hear it everywhere We go on the east coast," "I mean, from georgia, North carolina," "New jersey, pennsylvania," "New york, connecticut, Vermont, maine." "They all had great witnesses That we heard from." "Right along that trail." "One moment that really Stood out for me," "We were with 'boon-'boon Up in new york state." "This baboon is gonna shriek Like crazy." "It's gonna carry down This long rift valley," "And the appalachian trail Goes right through here." "This is the spot To do this." "Okay, 'boon-'boon, Do your stuff." "Yeah." "That's got to work." "And in georgia..." "Upper chattahoochee drainage." "Remember we were there?" "Definite knocks." "What was that place..." "There was that preserve Right outside of helen." "That wasn't very far away From the a.T., either." "It suddenly got A lot chillier." "It did." "Cool." "Did you hear that?" "Do you hear something In that direction?" "I heard that." "Was that farther back?" "I do think there's A 'squatch in these woods." ""I do think there's a 'squatch In these woods."" "So, hillary in florida Is asking," ""Howls or knocks"?" "Which one gets us more pumped To hear in the woods?" "If you get knocks From a 50, 70 yards out," "Like, bam, bam, You're just like, "Whoa."" "But if you get a howl From close by," "I don't think Anything tops that." "One of the very first times." "That we actually got knocks On the show," "It was when we were Investigating." "The new york baby footage." "Those were real close, And blew both of our minds." "And, of course, The producers' minds," "Because that was the first time They had heard." "Anything like that." "Yeah." "We have fruit." "We have protein." "Man, get a couple carbohydrates, Got a real meal." "Hell, yeah, dude." "It's my kind of place." " Whoa." " Whoa." "Did you hear that, cliff?" "Yeah, I heard that." "Knock over there." "There it is again." "I got that one." "I got that one." "I didn't get the bead On the direction." "Dude, it's right there." "But also the calls." "When you're hearing calls From a close-ish distance," "And you're saying, "That's not a coyote." "That sounds like A big guy yelling,"." "Or something like that..." "Like the horse creek howls At molalla, for example." "Those were close." "They were from Two different locations." "And we got a great Recording of them." "It's behind you." "That's a 'squatch." "I heard that Clear as day." "That's a 'squatch." "And hearing that knock On bird mountain in vermont." "And then hearing the things Coming down and marching," "And it was like, That was awesome." "Dude, That was a knock." "There's something Down there, matt." "Okay." "They're moving." "They're moving." "They're moving." "I think they're all going Downhill, man." "Maine..." "What a great howl I heard." "It was going toward That swamp." "It was late at night." "Definitely a 'squatch." "I didn't get it on thermal, But, yeah, there was one there." "And that was the loudest And closest I think I've had," "At least In the last year or two." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Baby." "I don't know which one Gets me more pumped." "Who cares?" "They all get me pumped." "Yeah." "Okay, several people are Asking what it was like." "To be out there with friends And family members." "Fun." "Yeah, It was a lot of fun." "Yeah." "You know, What was cool for me." "Was bud actually got To hear some knocks." "I mean, he's a professional Percussionist." "He knows sounds." "He was pretty pumped." "Yes." "Damn." "That was bad." "You're a natural, bud." "Dude, you hear that?" "I did." "That sounded like Wood on wood to me," "Like knock, knock, Knock, knock." "I think there was four." "I heard four." "The moment That stands out for me..." "I was out on those railroad Tracks with laura." "And she has Three older brothers." "Who have terrified her Her entire life." "She thought I was just gonna Be pranking her all night long." "I mean, right now, We're on this open..." "Yeah..." "Area." "But you got an idea about moving Through the brush a few times," "We were doing that." "There's sections Where it is..." "My god." "Sorry." "What was that?" "I'm sorry." "I literally felt something Pushing into my back." "She felt something On her low back 'cause I was moving the arm, And it terrified her." "She literally Went running." "She thought something Was coming after her." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "It was golden." "For me, it was great," "Because leo got to Hear a 'squatch for The very first time." "And it came right away." "I howled, and that thing Came howling back." "It was just as good As an ohio howl." "That was a 'squatch, And he got to hear it," "And there was no doubt About it." "Listen!" "That was definitely one." "Did you hear that?" "!" "Yeah." "Yeah!" "Was that...?" "It's still going." "Yeah." "That was one." "Yeah." "I think I just heard My first 'squatch." "He was excited." "He can finally can go home And go, "My dad isn't crazy!"" "Or "..." "As crazy I thought.""
