00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:03,069
Narrator: On this episode
of "Finding Bigfoot"...
2
00:00:03,069 --> 00:00:06,840
for over 50 years, the remote
woods of northern Georgia have
3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,876
been a hot spot for bigfoot
activity, with hundreds of
4
00:00:09,876 --> 00:00:12,178
documented encounters.
5
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:14,848
Now, the Bigfoot Field
Researchers Organization,
6
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:18,151
led by Matt Moneymaker, journey
to Georgia to investigate
7
00:00:18,151 --> 00:00:19,986
the latest piece of evidence,
8
00:00:19,986 --> 00:00:23,523
a never-before-broadcast
police video that some believe
9
00:00:23,523 --> 00:00:26,151
is photographic proof
of the Sasquatch.
10
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:32,565
The investigation leads the team
to a small town on the edge of
11
00:00:32,565 --> 00:00:36,269
Georgia's Chattahoochee National
Forest, where shocking new
12
00:00:36,269 --> 00:00:40,440
eyewitness accounts result
in a remarkable discovery.
13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,975
These look like toes.
14
00:00:41,975 --> 00:00:45,345
Ranae: There's a track that,
from 10 feet, you can see is a
15
00:00:45,345 --> 00:00:49,282
footprint... a large footprint.
16
00:00:49,282 --> 00:00:51,484
This might just be
the real deal here.
17
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:54,654
Narrator: As the team closes
in on the truth, they're joined
18
00:00:54,654 --> 00:00:58,958
by volunteers from the BFRO in
an effort to determine, once and
19
00:00:58,958 --> 00:01:02,228
for all, if bigfoot exists
in northern Georgia.
20
00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:03,596
Ranae: Hey, you guys,
it's Delta car.
21
00:01:03,596 --> 00:01:05,098
I definitely,
definitely have a hit.
22
00:01:05,098 --> 00:01:09,569
Come over here and
check it out, you guys.
23
00:01:09,569 --> 00:01:11,838
It was impossibly large.
24
00:01:11,838 --> 00:01:14,136
It definitely wasn't human.
25
00:01:14,474 --> 00:01:16,643
I've been tracking
Sasquatches for 25 years.
26
00:01:16,643 --> 00:01:18,578
These animals, in
fact, are real.
27
00:01:18,578 --> 00:01:19,579
I've seen them.
28
00:01:19,579 --> 00:01:20,346
They're here.
29
00:01:20,346 --> 00:01:22,982
I'm having a really
difficult time finding an
30
00:01:22,982 --> 00:01:23,950
explanation for this.
31
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:26,352
There's something on the hill!
32
00:01:26,352 --> 00:01:28,788
[Roars]
33
00:01:28,788 --> 00:01:30,757
I do think there's a 'squatch
34
00:01:30,757 --> 00:01:31,947
in these woods.
35
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,400
Ripped By mstoll
36
00:01:37,464 --> 00:01:40,033
Matt: The team and I have traveled
across the country to rural
37
00:01:40,033 --> 00:01:43,169
northern Georgia for one
reason only... to determine if
38
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:46,139
bigfoots exists in this
lush region of the country.
39
00:01:46,139 --> 00:01:49,976
This wide-open part of the state
offers the perfect combination
40
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:53,379
of small farming communities
surrounded by vast tracks of
41
00:01:53,379 --> 00:01:54,948
national forest.
42
00:01:54,948 --> 00:01:57,750
This is just the sort of place
we've come to expect bigfoot
43
00:01:57,750 --> 00:02:00,019
sightings to occur,
and this is where
44
00:02:00,019 --> 00:02:01,646
our latest report comes from.
45
00:02:01,988 --> 00:02:04,591
Georgia's Chattahoochee National
Forest has long been known as a
46
00:02:04,591 --> 00:02:07,360
hotbed of bigfoot activity
within the bigfoot
47
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,161
research community.
48
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:11,498
In fact, petroglyphs produced by
the earliest Native Americans
49
00:02:11,498 --> 00:02:14,567
that lived in the area depicts
them interacting with a
50
00:02:14,567 --> 00:02:15,969
bigfoot-type creature.
51
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,938
So when you take the centuries
of documented encounters in
52
00:02:18,938 --> 00:02:21,641
conjunction with almost a
million square miles of
53
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:24,911
untouched and unpopulated
forest, you get a location that
54
00:02:24,911 --> 00:02:27,013
is very likely a
bigfoot habitat.
55
00:02:27,013 --> 00:02:30,283
But, primarily, we're
investigating a piece of footage
56
00:02:30,283 --> 00:02:34,020
that came from a dash cam
from a state trooper vehicle.
57
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:36,256
I can very, very easily
articulate that.
58
00:02:36,256 --> 00:02:37,746
Mm-hmm.
59
00:02:43,129 --> 00:02:47,433
It's a classic road-crossing
sighting at night, and it's the
60
00:02:47,433 --> 00:02:51,671
first time that's ever been
gotten by a law-enforcement's
61
00:02:51,671 --> 00:02:52,572
dash camera.
62
00:02:52,572 --> 00:02:56,009
The police didn't really do
anything about it afterwards.
63
00:02:56,009 --> 00:03:00,246
There was no laws apparently
broken, so there was no need to
64
00:03:00,246 --> 00:03:02,882
do any kind of a
police investigation.
65
00:03:02,882 --> 00:03:06,613
All we have from the
incident is the video.
66
00:03:06,953 --> 00:03:09,322
Cliff: Looking at the footage, you
can actually count the steps...
67
00:03:09,322 --> 00:03:11,824
one, two, three steps brought
it over the white line on the
68
00:03:11,824 --> 00:03:13,026
left-hand side of the road.
69
00:03:13,026 --> 00:03:15,628
The speed of the creature while
it moves across the road seems
70
00:03:15,628 --> 00:03:18,198
very quick, but we won't know
for sure until we get somebody
71
00:03:18,198 --> 00:03:20,800
in the same position to see if
we can re-create it ourselves.
72
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,336
I think there's a very good
chance that what we're seeing in
73
00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:24,671
that video is a real Sasquatch.
74
00:03:24,671 --> 00:03:27,207
It's my opinion that this is a
hoax, and this is somebody in
75
00:03:27,207 --> 00:03:28,341
a suit, but I'm with you guys.
76
00:03:28,341 --> 00:03:30,810
We got to get some scale,
and we got to prove it
77
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:31,606
one way or another.
78
00:03:31,945 --> 00:03:34,347
A common observation amongst
witnesses, when they see one,
79
00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,649
it looks like it's gliding, like
it's almost like a human
80
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:37,283
on a bicycle.
81
00:03:37,283 --> 00:03:39,686
You see the legs moving,
but the shoulders and head
82
00:03:39,686 --> 00:03:40,420
hold fairly steady.
83
00:03:40,420 --> 00:03:42,422
I have to say, see
that here, as well.
84
00:03:42,422 --> 00:03:42,956
Yeah.
85
00:03:42,956 --> 00:03:45,592
It's not clear enough to
definitively say it is or isn't
86
00:03:45,592 --> 00:03:47,924
a Sasquatch or a
person in a costume.
87
00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:50,230
We came here to see if this
video was of a guy in a monkey
88
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,966
suit or was it the real deal...
89
00:03:52,966 --> 00:03:55,335
was it a Sasquatch
that they filmed?
90
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:57,170
Matt: We're going to
meet Mary Scott.
91
00:03:57,170 --> 00:04:00,340
She was the passenger in the
state trooper vehicle when
92
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:01,830
the footage was obtained.
93
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:05,612
We're gonna take her back to
where that was and ask her to
94
00:04:05,612 --> 00:04:08,581
tell us everything that
happened from her perspective.
95
00:04:08,581 --> 00:04:10,650
So the incident happened
right near here?
96
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:11,284
It did.
97
00:04:11,284 --> 00:04:15,688
Actually, we were traveling
this way, and it happened right
98
00:04:15,688 --> 00:04:16,889
before that guardrail.
99
00:04:16,889 --> 00:04:19,926
I think we should take a look,
walk down there.
100
00:04:19,926 --> 00:04:21,359
Okay. Okay.
101
00:04:25,398 --> 00:04:28,234
- So, this is it?
- This is it.
102
00:04:28,234 --> 00:04:31,471
It appeared to cross right here.
103
00:04:31,471 --> 00:04:35,241
We were coming this way
about 55 miles an hour.
104
00:04:35,241 --> 00:04:38,711
It was pitch-black, so it
seemed like we were doing 100.
105
00:04:38,711 --> 00:04:40,313
It was so late at night.
106
00:04:40,313 --> 00:04:42,882
There was not another
car on the road.
107
00:04:42,882 --> 00:04:49,322
All of a sudden, with no notice
whatsoever, this very tall, very
108
00:04:49,322 --> 00:04:54,994
furry, very fast creature comes
from that side of the road.
109
00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:56,195
What the crap?
110
00:04:56,195 --> 00:04:57,397
Did you see that?
111
00:04:57,397 --> 00:04:58,064
Yes.
112
00:04:58,064 --> 00:04:59,299
Shoots down here.
113
00:04:59,299 --> 00:05:03,269
We're, of course, going too fast
to stop immediately, so we hit
114
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:08,297
the brakes, spun around,
immediately came back.
115
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,082
The officer puts on
the blue lights.
116
00:05:16,082 --> 00:05:17,383
We jump out of the car.
117
00:05:17,383 --> 00:05:22,055
The officer had a big gun drawn,
and he's identifying himself.
118
00:05:22,055 --> 00:05:26,059
Whatever it was was gone.
119
00:05:26,059 --> 00:05:31,531
I was shocked when I saw it
because it was so big, and
120
00:05:31,531 --> 00:05:36,235
normally, in north Georgia,
animals jump out, but it's
121
00:05:36,235 --> 00:05:40,740
either usually deer,
occasionally a black bear.
122
00:05:40,740 --> 00:05:46,713
Uh, that's it... nothing that
large and standing so erect and
123
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:47,613
running so fast.
124
00:05:47,613 --> 00:05:50,616
So, we know that there are a
lot of black bears here, but
125
00:05:50,616 --> 00:05:52,852
this thing was on two
legs the entire time?
126
00:05:52,852 --> 00:05:55,154
I have seen black bears.
127
00:05:55,154 --> 00:05:58,658
I've had two even run across
in front of me before.
128
00:05:58,658 --> 00:06:00,727
No comparison.
129
00:06:00,727 --> 00:06:01,160
None.
130
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,830
Matt: What I gathered from
Mary Scott is that she firmly
131
00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:06,332
believed that they
saw a Sasquatch.
132
00:06:06,332 --> 00:06:09,769
At no point did she even bring
up the possibility that this was
133
00:06:09,769 --> 00:06:11,704
a person in a costume.
134
00:06:11,704 --> 00:06:14,540
She also just outright
dismissed the possibility
135
00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:16,576
that it was a bear.
136
00:06:16,576 --> 00:06:19,912
After meeting with Mary and
coming to this location and
137
00:06:19,912 --> 00:06:22,982
seeing the layout, we would
be crazy if we didn't try to
138
00:06:22,982 --> 00:06:26,386
re-create it and see if
it could be a prank.
139
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:29,021
The way we're gonna do this
reconstruction is we're gonna
140
00:06:29,021 --> 00:06:31,657
get a car of the same size, and
then we're gonna drive at the
141
00:06:31,657 --> 00:06:33,726
same speed and have Bobo
run across the road.
142
00:06:33,726 --> 00:06:36,496
We're hoping to shed some light
on the size of the creature,
143
00:06:36,496 --> 00:06:40,400
the speed it was traveling, and
also where it was coming from
144
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:41,367
and going to.
145
00:06:46,339 --> 00:06:49,208
Okay, I just finished setting
up the camera and the recorder
146
00:06:49,208 --> 00:06:50,009
inside the car.
147
00:06:50,009 --> 00:06:53,069
Ranae you're gonna be driving
about 55 miles an hour.
148
00:06:53,413 --> 00:06:56,215
Matt, you monitor it, and then
I'm gonna be signaling Bobo when
149
00:06:56,215 --> 00:06:57,283
to run across the road.
150
00:06:57,283 --> 00:06:59,819
Hopefully, what we can do here
is get a simulation of the
151
00:06:59,819 --> 00:07:02,288
dash-cam video itself and see
what we can learn from it,
152
00:07:02,288 --> 00:07:02,855
basically.
153
00:07:02,855 --> 00:07:05,057
And we'll make certain to
coordinate so no one
154
00:07:05,057 --> 00:07:05,792
gets run over.
155
00:07:05,792 --> 00:07:07,593
- Great. Let's go, guys.
- Sounds good.
156
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:10,363
I'm really glad we got to come
here in the daylight and see it
157
00:07:10,363 --> 00:07:13,099
ahead of time so we know exactly
where to go and what to do.
158
00:07:13,099 --> 00:07:14,867
A little light goes a long ways.
159
00:07:14,867 --> 00:07:16,469
Yeah.
160
00:07:16,469 --> 00:07:17,403
All right, guys.
161
00:07:17,403 --> 00:07:21,507
So, you're on the road,
ready to be the bigfoot.
162
00:07:21,507 --> 00:07:23,376
Cliff: Bobo's always ready
to be a bigfoot.
163
00:07:23,376 --> 00:07:25,478
Been training my whole
life for this role.
164
00:07:25,478 --> 00:07:29,215
Matt, please let us know
when you're in position.
165
00:07:29,215 --> 00:07:31,484
We're rolling.
166
00:07:31,484 --> 00:07:33,820
Okay, we're past
the intersection...
167
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:36,489
and we've got
guardrails on the side.
168
00:07:36,489 --> 00:07:37,890
She's trying to get up to speed.
169
00:07:37,890 --> 00:07:39,692
We're at 40.
170
00:07:39,692 --> 00:07:42,528
And to the guardrail, so 100
feet from the first mailbox...
171
00:07:42,528 --> 00:07:43,796
and coming around the bend.
172
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:49,802
Another mailbox, and now!
173
00:07:49,802 --> 00:07:50,570
[Chuckles]
174
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:52,672
I didn't know Bobo
could move that fast.
175
00:07:52,672 --> 00:07:53,840
Yeah.
176
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,509
Yeah, if that was a hoax, that
person waited till the last
177
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:58,911
second, 'cause that was kind of
sketchy running out that close
178
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:01,747
to the car.
179
00:08:01,747 --> 00:08:03,282
Did you see him book?
180
00:08:03,282 --> 00:08:06,486
Yeah, I'm thinking once
those images are compared
181
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:10,223
side-by-side, we're gonna start
to see some unusual things,
182
00:08:10,223 --> 00:08:13,926
and that will show that this
thing that crossed the road is
183
00:08:13,926 --> 00:08:16,362
even less likely to have been
a human in a costume.
184
00:08:16,362 --> 00:08:18,498
I've run in front of
cars at night before,
185
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:19,699
but I was always naked.
186
00:08:19,699 --> 00:08:21,467
[Laughs]
187
00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:23,202
Here we go.
188
00:08:23,202 --> 00:08:24,804
Okay, here we come.
189
00:08:24,804 --> 00:08:25,805
Coming up.
190
00:08:25,805 --> 00:08:28,741
There's the first mailbox...
191
00:08:28,741 --> 00:08:30,543
coming around, second
mailbox and now.
192
00:08:30,543 --> 00:08:31,511
Oh, there you go.
193
00:08:31,511 --> 00:08:33,746
Did you notice how the
bounding movement looks
194
00:08:33,746 --> 00:08:35,748
different than what you
see in the footage?
195
00:08:35,748 --> 00:08:38,651
- Yeah. It glides.
- Exactly.
196
00:08:38,651 --> 00:08:39,685
It glides real well.
197
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:42,722
Well, I'm definitely leaning
towards this is a Sasquatch on
198
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:45,858
film, and I can't be 100% sure,
but I think the context of the
199
00:08:45,858 --> 00:08:48,694
situation, with Mary's
excellent eyewitness accounts.
200
00:08:48,694 --> 00:08:52,598
Matt: There are two telling signs
for me that this was a bigfoot.
201
00:08:52,598 --> 00:08:56,769
First, the figure's stride was
effortless, while Bobo lurched
202
00:08:56,769 --> 00:08:57,737
with each step.
203
00:08:57,737 --> 00:09:00,773
Second, when you pause the
video, you can see that the
204
00:09:00,773 --> 00:09:04,544
figure's legs are basically
the same length as Bobo's.
205
00:09:04,544 --> 00:09:08,147
Sasquatches have different body
proportions compared to humans.
206
00:09:08,147 --> 00:09:11,450
Their legs are shorter
comparatively than humans, and
207
00:09:11,450 --> 00:09:14,687
their arms are longer, so if the
legs were the same length, that
208
00:09:14,687 --> 00:09:18,391
would make the figure at least
six inches taller than Bobo and
209
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,992
closer to seven feet tall.
210
00:09:19,992 --> 00:09:22,795
The question for me isn't
"Is it a Sasquatch?"
211
00:09:22,795 --> 00:09:25,364
The question for me is "Can
a person re-create that?"
212
00:09:25,364 --> 00:09:26,532
Yes, a person could.
213
00:09:26,532 --> 00:09:29,502
Bobo: That thing ran kind
of bent, hunched, smooth.
214
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:32,638
It wasn't bouncing
up like I was.
215
00:09:32,638 --> 00:09:34,473
I think that was
a real 'squatch.
216
00:09:34,473 --> 00:09:36,609
All right, this
is what we'll do.
217
00:09:36,609 --> 00:09:39,946
Down here we have a place where
a 'squatch crossed the road...
218
00:09:39,946 --> 00:09:42,081
it crossed from the
right to the left.
219
00:09:42,081 --> 00:09:44,050
We can split up into two teams.
220
00:09:44,050 --> 00:09:47,420
You and I will go down the
path that the thing came from.
221
00:09:47,420 --> 00:09:50,089
Cliff and Bobo will go
down along the path where
222
00:09:50,089 --> 00:09:51,157
it would have gone.
223
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:54,160
We'll go down there, we'll make
some sounds, we'll see if we can
224
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:55,149
kick up some action.
225
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:03,066
Matt: We're using thermal imagers
and night vision devices.
226
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:06,305
Night vision devices
turn night into day.
227
00:10:06,305 --> 00:10:09,475
We can see the road ahead of
us, and we can see up to the
228
00:10:09,475 --> 00:10:12,979
edge of the tree line, but with
thermal imagers, we can see into
229
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:16,315
the tree line and see if there's
any bigfoots hiding in the
230
00:10:16,315 --> 00:10:17,617
shadows behind the brush.
231
00:10:17,617 --> 00:10:19,385
Bobo: So there's been
several reports within
232
00:10:19,385 --> 00:10:20,853
a few miles of here.
233
00:10:20,853 --> 00:10:21,921
Oh, yeah.
234
00:10:21,921 --> 00:10:24,256
Very "Legend of Sleepy
Hollow" here, man.
235
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:25,450
Yep.
236
00:10:30,930 --> 00:10:32,098
[Grunts]
237
00:10:32,098 --> 00:10:34,293
Heads up.
238
00:10:38,604 --> 00:10:41,574
I'll know when we're in a
good spot to make vocals.
239
00:10:41,574 --> 00:10:43,676
I think we're too low right now.
240
00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:47,580
We want to be able to hear even
the faintest little crunching
241
00:10:47,580 --> 00:10:51,183
sounds, and you can't hear that
very well next to the
242
00:10:51,183 --> 00:10:51,842
moving water.
243
00:10:52,184 --> 00:10:54,954
I'm game. Let's go.
244
00:10:54,954 --> 00:10:58,057
Matt: We realized we had to get up
on elevation so our sounds would
245
00:10:58,057 --> 00:11:01,627
carry a good, long way, and we
got to a point where the sound
246
00:11:01,627 --> 00:11:04,764
would carry out almost,
you know, 360 degrees.
247
00:11:04,764 --> 00:11:08,634
The theory is that
broadcasting these calls will
248
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:11,604
draw in any Sasquatches
from the area.
249
00:11:11,604 --> 00:11:15,775
Okay, I'm gonna do
one... long howl.
250
00:11:15,775 --> 00:11:17,936
Roger.
251
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,516
[Exhaling deeply]
252
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:26,352
[Inhales deeply]
253
00:11:26,352 --> 00:11:31,415
[Howls]
254
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:36,526
Hit it, maestro.
255
00:11:39,565 --> 00:11:41,692
[Shrieking]
256
00:11:50,342 --> 00:11:51,210
That rocked.
257
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:53,279
I didn't know you had
it in you, Cliff.
258
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:54,513
That was pretty cool.
259
00:11:54,513 --> 00:11:57,249
That sounded like
a real bigfoot.
260
00:11:57,249 --> 00:11:59,518
I practice...
261
00:11:59,518 --> 00:12:01,787
in the shower.
262
00:12:01,787 --> 00:12:03,222
My neighbors hate it.
263
00:12:03,222 --> 00:12:03,923
Yeah.
264
00:12:03,923 --> 00:12:05,991
Some people sing in their cars.
265
00:12:05,991 --> 00:12:07,982
I do bigfoot screams.
266
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:14,233
I'm scanning.
267
00:12:14,233 --> 00:12:19,839
We got no owls and no
coyotes and no nothing.
268
00:12:19,839 --> 00:12:22,041
It suddenly got a lot chillier.
269
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:25,578
It did.
270
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,246
[Distant wood knocking]
271
00:12:27,246 --> 00:12:28,881
Oh! Did you hear that?
272
00:12:28,881 --> 00:12:31,250
Do you hear something
in that direction?
273
00:12:31,250 --> 00:12:32,151
I heard that.
274
00:12:32,151 --> 00:12:33,641
Was that farther back?
275
00:12:36,122 --> 00:12:39,992
I do think there's a
'squatch in these woods.
276
00:12:39,992 --> 00:12:41,093
Awesome.
277
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:43,395
There's nobody up there.
278
00:12:43,395 --> 00:12:46,398
I think that was a 'squatch.
279
00:12:46,398 --> 00:12:49,502
Just so you know, one of my
claims to fame in the bigfoot
280
00:12:49,502 --> 00:12:52,705
world is I was the one who
discovered that bigfoots do wood
281
00:12:52,705 --> 00:12:55,574
knocks and figured out
that if you make sounds,
282
00:12:55,574 --> 00:12:56,542
that they'll respond.
283
00:12:56,542 --> 00:12:59,645
No other bigfoot researchers
had ever figured that out or
284
00:12:59,645 --> 00:13:02,815
knew that before, 'cause they
didn't really go in the field
285
00:13:02,815 --> 00:13:04,683
very often.
286
00:13:04,683 --> 00:13:07,987
Ranae: I try to keep an open mind,
but if you go in expecting to
287
00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:12,158
hear something, and you're
looking for it, you might find
288
00:13:12,158 --> 00:13:14,456
it when it's actually not there.
289
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:18,063
It's dead.
290
00:13:18,063 --> 00:13:20,833
We did howls. We did knocks.
291
00:13:20,833 --> 00:13:25,671
We're not getting more action.
292
00:13:25,671 --> 00:13:27,039
Okay, listen, guys.
293
00:13:27,039 --> 00:13:29,074
We're not getting any
responses to the knocks.
294
00:13:29,074 --> 00:13:31,010
I want to know if there's
anything close by.
295
00:13:31,010 --> 00:13:33,579
The only thing we
can do now is...
296
00:13:33,579 --> 00:13:36,115
is just hope that that thing is
watching us, maybe it spotted
297
00:13:36,115 --> 00:13:38,617
our lights, and it's
just checking us out.
298
00:13:38,617 --> 00:13:40,820
I think we should... we
got to move somewhere.
299
00:13:40,820 --> 00:13:43,689
There's only one direction we
can move, which is back down the
300
00:13:43,689 --> 00:13:46,592
way we came, and hopefully when
we do that, we'll get something
301
00:13:46,592 --> 00:13:49,862
following us, and we'll
be able to hear it.
302
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:50,663
Roger that.
303
00:13:50,663 --> 00:13:51,964
We're on our way back down.
304
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:55,334
Matt: We haven't heard anything
for a while now, so the one last
305
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:59,004
trick we can try on the way out
is to be very conspicuous by
306
00:13:59,004 --> 00:14:02,462
having our lights
on as we leave.
307
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:10,583
[Crunch]
308
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:11,684
Holy [bleep]
309
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:12,852
Did you throw something?
310
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:15,047
- No, did you?
- No.
311
00:14:15,788 --> 00:14:18,858
Bobo: Holy... didn't know if that
was a branch being snapped or a
312
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:19,592
rock got thrown.
313
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:21,227
Cliff: Yeah, I definitely
heard something.
314
00:14:21,227 --> 00:14:22,761
It sounded like
something dropping.
315
00:14:22,761 --> 00:14:24,991
You can't see anything
through here.
316
00:14:25,331 --> 00:14:26,031
Holy [bleep] Matt.
317
00:14:26,031 --> 00:14:28,567
We just had a big branch break,
or it might have been a rock
318
00:14:28,567 --> 00:14:32,004
being thrown through some dry
timber, but it was definitely
319
00:14:32,004 --> 00:14:33,372
loud and big.
320
00:14:33,372 --> 00:14:35,808
All right!
321
00:14:35,808 --> 00:14:37,176
Yeah!
322
00:14:37,176 --> 00:14:38,344
Cliff's moving in on it.
323
00:14:38,344 --> 00:14:40,279
He's therming up and
down the tree line now.
324
00:14:40,279 --> 00:14:43,716
Whatever it is it's behind
this slash pile in some
325
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:46,518
really big thorns.
326
00:14:46,518 --> 00:14:48,687
I wish I was there.
327
00:14:48,687 --> 00:14:51,056
This is amazing.
328
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:54,493
Bigfoots or not, man, this is
what bigfooting can be all about
329
00:14:54,493 --> 00:14:55,828
when you're not around.
330
00:14:55,828 --> 00:14:57,229
Well, they're not dumb.
331
00:14:57,229 --> 00:15:00,766
They know where we
can go and can't go.
332
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:03,369
Maybe we should just keep moving
and see if it harasses us
333
00:15:03,369 --> 00:15:04,236
on the way out.
334
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:06,204
Yeah. Let's do it.
335
00:15:17,883 --> 00:15:20,753
Matt: Nothing has happened for a
few hours now, and we could see
336
00:15:20,753 --> 00:15:22,688
that the sun is
starting to come up.
337
00:15:22,688 --> 00:15:26,191
That means we're out of our
window of having an encounter
338
00:15:26,191 --> 00:15:28,093
with these nocturnal animals.
339
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:31,163
After re-creating Mary's
dramatic dash-cam footage and
340
00:15:31,163 --> 00:15:34,967
investigating the surrounding
area, we realized we needed more
341
00:15:34,967 --> 00:15:38,337
information to determine if
there are really some bigfoots
342
00:15:38,337 --> 00:15:41,607
in this part of Georgia, and the
only way to get that information
343
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,776
is to talk with
the local people.
344
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:47,146
So we decided to head up the
road to the Bavarian-inspired
345
00:15:47,146 --> 00:15:50,582
town of Helen, Georgia, to meet
with local witnesses and see
346
00:15:50,582 --> 00:15:52,516
what we could learn from them.
347
00:15:52,851 --> 00:15:55,721
To help us with this, we called
on the Georgia chapter
348
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:56,588
of the BFRO.
349
00:15:56,588 --> 00:15:59,959
They were able to round up
several local witnesses for us
350
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:02,291
to meet with at a
town-hall meeting.
351
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:03,729
Good morning, folks.
352
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:05,297
My name is Matt Moneymaker.
353
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:08,434
The head of what's called the
Bigfoot Field Researchers
354
00:16:08,434 --> 00:16:11,770
Organization, the BFRO, and we
called this meeting today to
355
00:16:11,770 --> 00:16:14,102
hopefully talk to
some witnesses.
356
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,309
So, I guess the first question
to ask is does anybody here
357
00:16:17,309 --> 00:16:18,077
have a sighting?
358
00:16:18,077 --> 00:16:22,214
Anybody here have witness
or have any information?
359
00:16:22,214 --> 00:16:23,582
It was fairly dark.
360
00:16:23,582 --> 00:16:27,619
I had my headlights on it, and
it just froze in this stride,
361
00:16:27,619 --> 00:16:33,125
and didn't move until the head,
which was straight, came round
362
00:16:33,125 --> 00:16:35,928
and looked right at my car.
363
00:16:35,928 --> 00:16:38,630
I knew what it was.
364
00:16:38,630 --> 00:16:39,598
I...
365
00:16:39,598 --> 00:16:42,568
I saw the creature.
366
00:16:42,568 --> 00:16:47,039
It had hair on its face, and
it smelled like raw sewage.
367
00:16:47,039 --> 00:16:50,876
All of a sudden, this thing
started marching straight at us,
368
00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:57,316
and it starts this tremendous
growl... spit flying,
369
00:16:57,316 --> 00:16:58,751
teeth showing.
370
00:16:58,751 --> 00:17:01,754
It's so massive and such a
barrel chest that when it
371
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:05,057
growled, it was kind of like a
lion growl, and it came from
372
00:17:05,057 --> 00:17:05,791
deep within.
373
00:17:05,791 --> 00:17:08,794
I knew right then what it was
telling us, and it was
374
00:17:08,794 --> 00:17:09,528
time to leave.
375
00:17:09,528 --> 00:17:13,732
I actually saw one up close,
within 15 feet of me.
376
00:17:13,732 --> 00:17:20,005
I just happened to look up,
and there it was, right there.
377
00:17:20,005 --> 00:17:22,408
Have I these pictures
that my husband took.
378
00:17:22,408 --> 00:17:23,709
They were out duck hunting.
379
00:17:23,709 --> 00:17:25,611
When were these
photographs taken?
380
00:17:25,611 --> 00:17:27,112
About a month ago.
381
00:17:27,112 --> 00:17:28,514
So it's recent.
382
00:17:28,514 --> 00:17:32,718
We've had some strange
things happen at the house.
383
00:17:32,718 --> 00:17:35,854
We've had what I described to
people as a giant standing
384
00:17:35,854 --> 00:17:38,724
outside my house, hitting
it with a small tree.
385
00:17:38,724 --> 00:17:39,324
Wow.
386
00:17:39,324 --> 00:17:42,728
It freaked me out... chills,
I mean, just up and down
387
00:17:42,728 --> 00:17:45,097
your spine.
388
00:17:45,097 --> 00:17:48,133
After listening to all of the
witnesses, we plotted their
389
00:17:48,133 --> 00:17:52,304
sightings on a map of the area.
390
00:17:52,304 --> 00:17:55,474
While all of the stories were
intriguing, three in particular
391
00:17:55,474 --> 00:17:58,877
struck a chord with us...
Janet's, John's, and Darla's.
392
00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:01,580
These are the stories we
wanted to check out more.
393
00:18:01,580 --> 00:18:04,850
Meeting with the witnesses and
hearing what they had to say
394
00:18:04,850 --> 00:18:08,220
provides one more piece of the
puzzle to us to figure out the
395
00:18:08,220 --> 00:18:11,957
patterns of behavior of these
animals here in Georgia.
396
00:18:11,957 --> 00:18:15,828
As a team, the first place we
wanted to go is where Janet had
397
00:18:15,828 --> 00:18:17,296
seen one cross the road.
398
00:18:17,296 --> 00:18:21,200
It was the closest place for us
to get to, so that's where we
399
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,497
wanted to go.
400
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:23,702
This is the spot?
401
00:18:23,702 --> 00:18:26,238
This is it, on the road, though.
402
00:18:26,238 --> 00:18:27,673
Around Thanksgiving day?
403
00:18:27,673 --> 00:18:32,044
It was Thanksgiving day.
404
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:35,114
I was driving home, and I think
because it was Thanksgiving,
405
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:38,217
there was nobody else
on the road at all.
406
00:18:38,217 --> 00:18:43,322
And I was probably doing 55,
normal, and coming over that
407
00:18:43,322 --> 00:18:48,627
rise, and I saw the largest
thing I'd ever seen.
408
00:18:48,627 --> 00:18:50,028
[Growls]
409
00:18:50,028 --> 00:18:52,331
The first thing that popped
410
00:18:52,331 --> 00:18:55,434
into my head was, "Bear? No.
411
00:18:55,434 --> 00:18:56,535
Human? No.
412
00:18:56,535 --> 00:18:58,904
It's way too huge, too big."
413
00:18:58,904 --> 00:19:03,942
And by then, the creature had
stepped up into the middle
414
00:19:03,942 --> 00:19:05,310
of the road...
415
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:11,150
just sort of frozen, like a
statue, and then the head did
416
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:16,755
this slow turn and
stared at my car.
417
00:19:16,755 --> 00:19:22,728
And it was probably the scariest
moment of my life, just waiting
418
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:27,766
to see if it was gonna come for
the car or go somewhere else.
419
00:19:27,766 --> 00:19:29,568
[Growls]
420
00:19:29,568 --> 00:19:32,538
Then it went somewhere else.
421
00:19:32,538 --> 00:19:33,872
[Chuckles]
422
00:19:33,872 --> 00:19:37,476
If I had been a minute faster or
423
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:39,578
a minute slower, I would
never have seen him.
424
00:19:39,578 --> 00:19:42,181
I'm just gonna run down
there, where you pointed where
425
00:19:42,181 --> 00:19:44,883
it crossed, and I'm gonna stand
there for a size comparison
426
00:19:44,883 --> 00:19:45,384
for you.
427
00:19:45,384 --> 00:19:48,453
Cliff: It's a perfect opportunity
to do a reconstruction using our
428
00:19:48,453 --> 00:19:50,011
own Sasquatch, Bobo.
429
00:19:50,355 --> 00:19:52,591
We put Bobo in the position
where the Sasquatch
430
00:19:52,591 --> 00:19:53,425
crossed the road.
431
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:56,883
Janet told us about where she
was when she saw the creature.
432
00:19:57,229 --> 00:20:00,132
Using those two locations and
a pole, we were able to get an
433
00:20:00,132 --> 00:20:03,135
estimate of the height of the
animal that she was looking at.
434
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:05,170
Hmm.
435
00:20:05,170 --> 00:20:07,539
Can he raise his hand?
436
00:20:07,539 --> 00:20:09,942
Even higher than that?
437
00:20:09,942 --> 00:20:11,210
That's it, maybe that.
438
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,211
Right in there?
439
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:13,946
That's perfect. Yeah.
440
00:20:13,946 --> 00:20:16,471
Okay, I'm gonna run down there
and take that measurement.
441
00:20:19,451 --> 00:20:21,086
9'8" tall.
442
00:20:21,086 --> 00:20:22,421
Wow. 9'8"?
443
00:20:22,421 --> 00:20:23,388
Sort of what I thought.
444
00:20:23,388 --> 00:20:23,956
[Laughs]
445
00:20:23,956 --> 00:20:25,424
I really don't know
what to tell you.
446
00:20:25,424 --> 00:20:27,492
I think I know what to tell
you, and I think it was a
447
00:20:27,492 --> 00:20:28,961
Sasquatch, personally.
448
00:20:28,961 --> 00:20:32,364
I think he was far too big to
be anything else, and that's a
449
00:20:32,364 --> 00:20:35,500
place where they could easily
live in without being found.
450
00:20:35,500 --> 00:20:36,468
It is a preserve.
451
00:20:36,468 --> 00:20:38,670
I think you saw the real thing.
452
00:20:38,670 --> 00:20:41,607
I love the fact that it froze
in mid-step and just looked
453
00:20:41,607 --> 00:20:45,110
straight ahead and slowly
turned to look at you.
454
00:20:45,110 --> 00:20:47,879
That is a very bigfooty thing
to do, so I'm with you.
455
00:20:47,879 --> 00:20:52,714
I think that's a Sasquatch based
on that behavior and the size.
456
00:20:53,051 --> 00:20:55,120
After going to Janet's
sighting, as a team, we decided
457
00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:57,522
to break up and get in smaller
groups to cover more ground.
458
00:20:57,522 --> 00:20:59,625
Cliff and Ranae went to
Bull Mountain to go look at
459
00:20:59,625 --> 00:21:01,927
those prints of the track
photos, and Matt and I went up
460
00:21:01,927 --> 00:21:04,029
the river with John, up to
Chattahoochee, where his
461
00:21:04,029 --> 00:21:05,063
sighting was.
462
00:21:05,063 --> 00:21:08,500
- There he is.
- Yep. Right there.
463
00:21:08,500 --> 00:21:09,434
Good to see you, bud.
464
00:21:09,434 --> 00:21:10,402
Thanks for coming out.
465
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:13,166
Been looking forward to
coming to this spot.
466
00:21:13,505 --> 00:21:14,439
So it's a little hike, huh?
467
00:21:14,439 --> 00:21:15,872
Just a little bit.
468
00:21:19,044 --> 00:21:21,413
John's sighting is a little
more difficult to get to than
469
00:21:21,413 --> 00:21:21,980
the average.
470
00:21:21,980 --> 00:21:23,649
You can't just walk
there on a day hike.
471
00:21:23,649 --> 00:21:26,184
You've got to cross the river,
that sort of thing... stuff that
472
00:21:26,184 --> 00:21:28,020
would keep the average
hiker out of there.
473
00:21:28,020 --> 00:21:30,422
This is as far as I
will come by myself.
474
00:21:30,422 --> 00:21:33,025
How much do you
figure it weighed?
475
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:35,427
I'd say 800, 900 pounds.
476
00:21:35,427 --> 00:21:35,927
Bobo: Wow.
477
00:21:35,927 --> 00:21:37,462
He wasn't a real expressive guy.
478
00:21:37,462 --> 00:21:40,098
He was pretty monotone,
even-keeled, but when he'd talk
479
00:21:40,098 --> 00:21:42,534
about it, you could tell
he was really feeling it.
480
00:21:42,534 --> 00:21:45,070
Did you say he had rocks also?
481
00:21:45,070 --> 00:21:46,705
Yes.
482
00:21:46,705 --> 00:21:48,573
How big were they?
483
00:21:48,573 --> 00:21:49,908
Bigger than a bowling ball.
484
00:21:49,908 --> 00:21:50,409
Damn!
485
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:53,278
And it wasn't like they were,
you know, just bouncing down
486
00:21:53,278 --> 00:21:54,112
the side of the hill.
487
00:21:54,112 --> 00:21:56,148
They were actually coming
through the trees.
488
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:56,648
Dang!
489
00:21:56,648 --> 00:21:59,051
How freaked out
were you on that?
490
00:21:59,051 --> 00:22:01,042
Pretty freaked out.
491
00:22:03,955 --> 00:22:06,458
People say there's no hard
evidence for Sasquatches, but,
492
00:22:06,458 --> 00:22:09,018
you know, this is some
pretty compelling stuff.
493
00:22:09,361 --> 00:22:12,230
In this case, truly a picture
is worth a thousand words.
494
00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:15,367
Darla came to the town-hall
meeting in Helen
495
00:22:15,367 --> 00:22:16,535
with the photographs.
496
00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:18,904
I have these pictures
that my husband took.
497
00:22:18,904 --> 00:22:21,406
She showed us the photographs
and said that her husband had
498
00:22:21,406 --> 00:22:23,241
taken them a few weeks
prior to the meeting.
499
00:22:23,241 --> 00:22:25,811
The first thing I noticed about
Jeff's footprint photographs was
500
00:22:25,811 --> 00:22:28,347
how crisp the toes were, which,
to me, indicates that they were
501
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:29,514
very, very fresh.
502
00:22:29,514 --> 00:22:33,051
The second thing I noticed was
the width and, most importantly,
503
00:22:33,051 --> 00:22:35,587
the lack of instep on
the Sasquatch footprint.
504
00:22:35,587 --> 00:22:37,622
Sasquatches have
large, flat feet.
505
00:22:37,622 --> 00:22:39,424
We have an instep. They do not.
506
00:22:39,424 --> 00:22:40,726
That's something I looked for.
507
00:22:40,726 --> 00:22:42,027
Are the tracks still there?
508
00:22:42,027 --> 00:22:44,096
No, they're not still
there, unfortunately.
509
00:22:44,096 --> 00:22:45,664
They were gone
within a few days.
510
00:22:45,664 --> 00:22:48,333
But it's important to still go
there, because where a Sasquatch
511
00:22:48,333 --> 00:22:50,268
goes once, it very often
goes more than once.
512
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:51,803
Perhaps there's
other tracks around.
513
00:22:51,803 --> 00:22:54,106
Footprints and footprint casts
are kind of my thing... it's
514
00:22:54,106 --> 00:22:56,575
what I'm most interested in, so
I want to go out there to see if
515
00:22:56,575 --> 00:22:59,339
we can shed some more light on
those footprint photographs.
516
00:23:01,546 --> 00:23:03,315
This was about the spot.
517
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:05,146
- Right here?
- Yes.
518
00:23:05,484 --> 00:23:12,224
We were walking in from this
area, came up, saw the prints,
519
00:23:12,224 --> 00:23:14,715
and didn't really
think much about it.
520
00:23:15,060 --> 00:23:18,764
We started going up the trail,
and you could see more, more,
521
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:19,831
and more prints.
522
00:23:19,831 --> 00:23:23,869
What caught my attention was
they would go maybe 30 feet...
523
00:23:23,869 --> 00:23:24,903
Uh-huh.
524
00:23:24,903 --> 00:23:28,173
...and they would stop, turn
around, come back seven or eight
525
00:23:28,173 --> 00:23:32,611
steps, and then they would turn
and go back up and maybe go 30
526
00:23:32,611 --> 00:23:36,248
more feet, 40 more feet, and do
that, and by the time we got to
527
00:23:36,248 --> 00:23:39,751
that wood line, they
had done it, you know,
528
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:41,286
three or four times.
529
00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:41,887
Okay.
530
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:45,190
If you're coming from this
way, and it's walking back and
531
00:23:45,190 --> 00:23:48,693
forth, it appear as though it's
looking down on you guys,
532
00:23:48,693 --> 00:23:52,097
sizing you up.
533
00:23:52,097 --> 00:23:55,567
When I first saw the track, I
didn't think anything about it.
534
00:23:55,567 --> 00:23:58,870
Once I saw, walking up this way,
the back-and-forth motion and
535
00:23:58,870 --> 00:24:00,205
the shape of the foot...
536
00:24:00,205 --> 00:24:00,806
Yeah.
537
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:03,508
...I got to thinking a
little bit more about it.
538
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:04,876
Normally, I'm not scared.
539
00:24:04,876 --> 00:24:07,512
You know, I can go out in
the woods in the night.
540
00:24:07,512 --> 00:24:08,547
Doesn't bother me.
541
00:24:08,547 --> 00:24:12,317
But we kept our guns loaded
until we got back to the truck.
542
00:24:12,317 --> 00:24:14,512
Something is out here.
543
00:24:20,158 --> 00:24:23,795
We were walking along this
trail, looking for a better spot
544
00:24:23,795 --> 00:24:25,197
to fish.
545
00:24:25,197 --> 00:24:27,599
This is the place
where it happened.
546
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:31,503
- This is it right here?
- This is it right here.
547
00:24:31,503 --> 00:24:34,339
My buddy and I came up to the
end of this road, and we were
548
00:24:34,339 --> 00:24:37,342
discussing how we were gonna get
back down in the river to head
549
00:24:37,342 --> 00:24:40,946
further upstream when, all of a
sudden, we heard a loud thud hit
550
00:24:40,946 --> 00:24:45,584
the ground behind us.
551
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:49,354
We turned around and looked, and
right there was a log that was
552
00:24:49,354 --> 00:24:53,124
about this big around, about the
size of a car tire, and I just
553
00:24:53,124 --> 00:24:55,126
happened to look up.
554
00:24:55,126 --> 00:24:57,896
He was standing right there.
555
00:24:57,896 --> 00:24:59,197
[Roars]
556
00:24:59,197 --> 00:25:00,232
Just right there?
557
00:25:00,232 --> 00:25:02,801
Right there, and it was too
close for comfort, just
558
00:25:02,801 --> 00:25:04,703
standing, looking down at me.
559
00:25:04,703 --> 00:25:07,906
And you didn't come back
for a while, I bet.
560
00:25:07,906 --> 00:25:10,742
I didn't come back for years.
561
00:25:10,742 --> 00:25:13,078
The incident that John had,
on one side, it sounded
562
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:15,780
credible, but on the other side,
there was elements that didn't
563
00:25:15,780 --> 00:25:19,885
add up, and I wanted to question
him about that and try and see,
564
00:25:19,885 --> 00:25:22,654
"Is this guy making it
up as he goes along?"
565
00:25:22,654 --> 00:25:24,723
What color was it, the creature?
566
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:25,457
Black.
567
00:25:25,457 --> 00:25:26,858
His forehead had no hair.
568
00:25:26,858 --> 00:25:28,360
No hair on the forehead?
569
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:30,362
On the forehead, right in here.
570
00:25:30,362 --> 00:25:30,962
Okay.
571
00:25:30,962 --> 00:25:34,232
The mouth, he was just sitting
there, and it looked...
572
00:25:34,232 --> 00:25:35,700
Like a person's mouth?
573
00:25:35,700 --> 00:25:38,803
Similar to a person's mouth.
574
00:25:38,803 --> 00:25:43,308
His description of the face
wasn't entirely consistent with
575
00:25:43,308 --> 00:25:46,511
what I've heard before, so I was
intentionally kind of leading
576
00:25:46,511 --> 00:25:49,347
him, suggesting other
characteristics that are kind of
577
00:25:49,347 --> 00:25:52,384
the opposite of what
their face looks like.
578
00:25:52,384 --> 00:25:54,219
Okay, what did the
eyes look like?
579
00:25:54,219 --> 00:25:56,087
Like big, wide eye sockets, or?
580
00:25:56,087 --> 00:25:56,721
Yes.
581
00:25:56,721 --> 00:26:00,025
He agreed, said, "Yeah,
big, wide eye sockets," not
582
00:26:00,025 --> 00:26:03,261
necessarily sunken in, and
that's directly the opposite.
583
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:04,396
Its nose, it was flat.
584
00:26:04,396 --> 00:26:06,264
Okay, what was the
color of the skin?
585
00:26:06,264 --> 00:26:07,699
Was it the same as the forehead?
586
00:26:07,699 --> 00:26:08,600
It was the same.
587
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,402
Well, that's not what
they look like either.
588
00:26:10,402 --> 00:26:13,705
Their nose has black skin on it,
like a black skin on a
589
00:26:13,705 --> 00:26:16,775
dog's nose.
590
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:18,076
I still don't know.
591
00:26:18,076 --> 00:26:22,914
There's some things about this
story that still make no sense
592
00:26:22,914 --> 00:26:26,251
at all and just completely flies
in the face of what I know
593
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:27,986
reality to be.
594
00:26:27,986 --> 00:26:30,956
The jury's still out in my mind.
595
00:26:30,956 --> 00:26:33,618
I don't know if I can
completely accept that one.
596
00:26:35,527 --> 00:26:39,364
So, this is my regular sort
of walking stride, then circle
597
00:26:39,364 --> 00:26:40,732
back like the prints did.
598
00:26:40,732 --> 00:26:44,002
Using my trackway as a gauge,
Jeff was able to approximate the
599
00:26:44,002 --> 00:26:47,238
position of the Sasquatch's step
length, which is left foot to
600
00:26:47,238 --> 00:26:48,227
right foot.
601
00:26:48,573 --> 00:26:50,976
We estimate it at probably about
3½ feet, which would indicate
602
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:53,511
that the stride from left foot
to left foot would be about
603
00:26:53,511 --> 00:26:55,480
seven feet.
604
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,082
Am I leaving prints at all?
605
00:26:57,082 --> 00:26:58,549
Hardly at all.
606
00:26:58,883 --> 00:26:59,951
Hardly at all, huh?
607
00:26:59,951 --> 00:27:02,554
Cliff was able to do the
distance of that step.
608
00:27:02,554 --> 00:27:04,789
Awkwardly, yes, but
it was possible.
609
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:06,324
Only thing that
couldn't be re-created
610
00:27:06,324 --> 00:27:07,826
was the depth of the soil.
611
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:10,195
All you can see is where
your toes are digging in.
612
00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:12,497
Cliff: Jeff noticed that the
footprints he stumbled upon
613
00:27:12,497 --> 00:27:15,000
impressed about a half an inch
into the soil, whereas his
614
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:17,366
footprints barely
penetrated at all.
615
00:27:17,702 --> 00:27:20,405
What that could tell me is that
the creature was a lot heavier
616
00:27:20,405 --> 00:27:21,006
than Jeff.
617
00:27:21,006 --> 00:27:23,108
I really don't know
what to say, Jeff.
618
00:27:23,108 --> 00:27:25,443
I know it was cold,
slightly different soil.
619
00:27:25,443 --> 00:27:28,380
Jeff told us that that
evening, the soil was frozen.
620
00:27:28,380 --> 00:27:29,614
It was 28 degrees.
621
00:27:29,614 --> 00:27:32,751
The following day, it
topped off at 41, so it
622
00:27:32,751 --> 00:27:33,985
could have warmed up.
623
00:27:33,985 --> 00:27:35,587
The initial tracks were made.
624
00:27:35,587 --> 00:27:38,590
He comes by a little bit
later, and then the ground has
625
00:27:38,590 --> 00:27:39,624
solidified again.
626
00:27:39,624 --> 00:27:41,292
That's my explanation.
627
00:27:41,292 --> 00:27:42,594
I'm willing to say it.
628
00:27:42,594 --> 00:27:45,697
I think, based on the context,
the size, the fact that you say
629
00:27:45,697 --> 00:27:48,033
that these things were
flatfooted consistently, all up
630
00:27:48,033 --> 00:27:50,535
and down the trail, and the
distance between them, I think
631
00:27:50,535 --> 00:27:52,270
we're looking at
Sasquatch footprints.
632
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:54,139
Sasquatches often
frequent the same areas.
633
00:27:54,139 --> 00:27:56,541
Let's take a little while and
look around if you have
634
00:27:56,541 --> 00:27:57,175
the time, please.
635
00:27:57,175 --> 00:27:58,410
All right. Let's go, boys.
636
00:27:58,410 --> 00:28:00,578
After doing our reconstruction,
I wanted to look
637
00:28:00,578 --> 00:28:03,148
around the area, 'cause I know
where Sasquatches go once, they
638
00:28:03,148 --> 00:28:04,349
usually go more than once.
639
00:28:04,349 --> 00:28:06,951
It's interesting to see it
is a well-used trail,
640
00:28:06,951 --> 00:28:07,519
most definitely.
641
00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,255
Yeah, there's horse prints and
stuff all up and down here.
642
00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:11,022
Hike tracks.
643
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:12,791
There's a dog there.
644
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:13,391
Bicycle.
645
00:28:13,391 --> 00:28:15,060
I'm just seeing hiking boots.
646
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:16,027
Bike tire there.
647
00:28:16,027 --> 00:28:18,096
What are you seeing
over there, Cliff?
648
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:21,232
Can see that, whatever that is.
649
00:28:21,232 --> 00:28:23,668
That looks like toes.
650
00:28:23,668 --> 00:28:27,038
Off to the side of the trail,
near a bend, one particular area
651
00:28:27,038 --> 00:28:29,607
caught my eye because it had a
lot less leaf litter than the
652
00:28:29,607 --> 00:28:31,242
rest of the area
surrounding there.
653
00:28:31,242 --> 00:28:32,677
- Watch where you step.
- I am.
654
00:28:32,677 --> 00:28:36,347
And, sure enough, there they
were... two fantastic Sasquatch
655
00:28:36,347 --> 00:28:38,883
footprints, even showing toes.
656
00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:40,485
We have a pretty thick heel.
657
00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:43,121
There's no instep right here,
and, you know,
658
00:28:43,121 --> 00:28:44,456
these look like toes.
659
00:28:44,456 --> 00:28:46,291
Cliff pauses, I look.
660
00:28:46,291 --> 00:28:50,762
There's a track that, from
10 feet, you can see
661
00:28:50,762 --> 00:28:52,097
is a footprint.
662
00:28:52,097 --> 00:28:57,602
Not a hiker's print, a
footprint... a large footprint.
663
00:28:57,602 --> 00:28:59,237
This might just be
the real deal here.
664
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:01,673
Mary's video brought us out
here and I still think it's the
665
00:29:01,673 --> 00:29:04,767
strongest piece of evidence
available for northern Georgia.
666
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:08,346
The area has a huge, long
history of Sasquatch encounters,
667
00:29:08,346 --> 00:29:10,337
but I'm ecstatic about our find.
668
00:29:10,682 --> 00:29:12,016
Those tracks are beautiful.
669
00:29:12,016 --> 00:29:13,485
They show a living foot.
670
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:15,053
We have two right feet in a row.
671
00:29:15,053 --> 00:29:16,855
There's differences
between them.
672
00:29:16,855 --> 00:29:20,425
This was the best track find of
my entire bigfooting career.
673
00:29:20,425 --> 00:29:22,460
- You see how deep that is?
- Yeah.
674
00:29:22,460 --> 00:29:23,862
That's what I saw.
675
00:29:23,862 --> 00:29:24,896
Jeff, I'm blown away.
676
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:27,465
We're looking at footprints that
might have been left by the same
677
00:29:27,465 --> 00:29:29,267
creature that left the
footprints you saw.
678
00:29:29,267 --> 00:29:32,704
This is the most compelling
evidence that I've had so far.
679
00:29:32,704 --> 00:29:35,473
I'm a little dumbfounded
to actually find a track.
680
00:29:35,473 --> 00:29:37,373
I'm like, "Come on. Really?
681
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:38,243
Is this happening?
682
00:29:38,243 --> 00:29:40,612
Did people know we're out here
looking for bigfoot and run
683
00:29:40,612 --> 00:29:42,814
around barefoot, leaving
some tracks for us to find?"
684
00:29:42,814 --> 00:29:45,250
I didn't know really what to
say, but you could see the
685
00:29:45,250 --> 00:29:49,921
obvious outline of a heel,
the outside, and five large,
686
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:50,922
distinct toes.
687
00:29:50,922 --> 00:29:54,058
There are thousands and
thousands of eyewitness accounts
688
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:56,861
of people seeing Sasquatches,
yet only a few hundred footprint
689
00:29:56,861 --> 00:29:59,030
accounts that have been
documented with either
690
00:29:59,030 --> 00:30:00,999
photographs or casts.
691
00:30:00,999 --> 00:30:03,268
This is extremely rare,
what we're looking at here.
692
00:30:03,268 --> 00:30:05,703
So I just hit the lottery
is what you're telling me?
693
00:30:05,703 --> 00:30:06,938
Yes. We hit the lottery.
694
00:30:06,938 --> 00:30:07,539
Absolutely.
695
00:30:07,539 --> 00:30:08,506
We hit the lottery.
696
00:30:08,506 --> 00:30:10,909
If this is that rare, I mean,
we've got to call Moneymaker.
697
00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:12,110
We got to call Bobo, too.
698
00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:13,178
Put them on speakerphone.
699
00:30:13,178 --> 00:30:14,379
I want to hear what they say.
700
00:30:14,379 --> 00:30:15,903
Okay.
701
00:30:16,247 --> 00:30:19,551
So, yeah, he didn't want
you guys coming here
702
00:30:19,551 --> 00:30:20,752
taking his fish.
703
00:30:20,752 --> 00:30:21,619
Or his deer.
704
00:30:21,619 --> 00:30:23,755
He just didn't want
you back here at all.
705
00:30:23,755 --> 00:30:25,523
[Cellphone rings]
706
00:30:25,523 --> 00:30:28,583
- They understand that among humans...
- Hello?
707
00:30:28,927 --> 00:30:30,395
Hey, we're gonna put
you on speakerphone.
708
00:30:30,395 --> 00:30:31,629
Matt, Bobo, you guys there?
709
00:30:31,629 --> 00:30:33,965
Yeah, we're here with our
witness at the spot... John at
710
00:30:33,965 --> 00:30:36,100
the fishing spot where they
saw the big nine-footer.
711
00:30:36,100 --> 00:30:37,535
Howdy. What's up?
712
00:30:37,535 --> 00:30:38,136
Um...
713
00:30:38,136 --> 00:30:39,604
Go ahead and tell them.
714
00:30:39,604 --> 00:30:41,539
Gentlemen, we have prints.
715
00:30:41,539 --> 00:30:43,041
They found prints.
716
00:30:43,041 --> 00:30:45,677
You guys found the same tracks
or you found new tracks?
717
00:30:45,677 --> 00:30:48,179
I think these prints are
about a month old or so.
718
00:30:48,179 --> 00:30:51,082
I think these are probably left
by the same creature that left
719
00:30:51,082 --> 00:30:52,550
the footprints that Jeff found.
720
00:30:52,550 --> 00:30:54,452
Bobo: Wow. They matched
the photos, huh?
721
00:30:54,452 --> 00:30:55,954
You know what, Jeff was here.
722
00:30:55,954 --> 00:30:58,122
He said these are the
same size, the same shape
723
00:30:58,122 --> 00:30:59,190
as the ones he saw.
724
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:02,460
Wait, wait, Cliff, I got to
ask... can you see toes?
725
00:31:02,460 --> 00:31:04,062
Yes, you can see toes.
726
00:31:04,062 --> 00:31:04,996
We found two.
727
00:31:04,996 --> 00:31:06,297
Wow!
728
00:31:06,297 --> 00:31:07,332
We have two prints.
729
00:31:07,332 --> 00:31:08,700
They're both of the right foot.
730
00:31:08,700 --> 00:31:11,803
We have a very faint but
definite toes on both.
731
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:13,238
Wow! That's awesome!
732
00:31:13,238 --> 00:31:15,540
You're in hog
heaven, huh, Cliff?
733
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:19,244
In the ground, in person,
these are the best prints I've
734
00:31:19,244 --> 00:31:20,370
seen in my life.
735
00:31:20,712 --> 00:31:22,080
I'm really excited for Cliff.
736
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,816
He's one of my best bros, and
I just know how excited he is.
737
00:31:24,816 --> 00:31:26,751
I know I'm gonna have
trouble sleeping tonight.
738
00:31:26,751 --> 00:31:29,387
Cliff's got to be going out of
his gourd right now
739
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:30,115
just with excitement.
740
00:31:30,455 --> 00:31:32,223
So, Ranae, what
do you think now?
741
00:31:32,223 --> 00:31:33,558
Do you believe they exist?
742
00:31:33,558 --> 00:31:36,728
Here's what I will say to you
guys... I'm having a really
743
00:31:36,728 --> 00:31:39,397
difficult time finding
an explanation for this.
744
00:31:39,397 --> 00:31:41,099
I really am at a loss for words.
745
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:44,335
Ranae was saying she has no
explanation because, yeah, then
746
00:31:44,335 --> 00:31:46,037
she has to admit, "They're real.
747
00:31:46,037 --> 00:31:46,638
I'm wrong."
748
00:31:46,638 --> 00:31:48,806
I mean, that's rare to
find prints with toes.
749
00:31:48,806 --> 00:31:50,441
Yeah, there's no visible arch.
750
00:31:50,441 --> 00:31:52,143
These are looking
really good, Bobo.
751
00:31:52,143 --> 00:31:53,311
I'm pretty stoked, man.
752
00:31:53,311 --> 00:31:55,013
God, I wish I was there, dude!
753
00:31:55,013 --> 00:31:55,647
Like, God!
754
00:31:55,647 --> 00:31:57,015
We're coming right now.
755
00:31:57,015 --> 00:31:58,082
We're on our way.
756
00:31:58,082 --> 00:31:59,217
I got to see this.
757
00:31:59,217 --> 00:32:00,650
All right, bye.
758
00:32:03,054 --> 00:32:03,788
Cliff: You know what?
759
00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:05,490
The heel is a little
obscured on this one.
760
00:32:05,490 --> 00:32:08,026
Let's measure from the tip of
the toe to the tip of the toe.
761
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:10,895
It doesn't matter as long as we
measure from the same spot
762
00:32:10,895 --> 00:32:11,596
on each foot.
763
00:32:11,596 --> 00:32:12,664
There you go.
764
00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:16,067
Oh, that is seven
feet on the nose.
765
00:32:16,067 --> 00:32:18,503
You know, Jeff said
the step was 3½ feet.
766
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:21,439
We're looking at right foot to
right foot, it's seven feet.
767
00:32:21,439 --> 00:32:23,975
I think we're looking at the
same animal's footprints here.
768
00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:25,738
Whoo-hoo!
769
00:32:27,378 --> 00:32:29,681
- See how thick it is?
- Yeah.
770
00:32:29,681 --> 00:32:31,149
Starting to set up already.
771
00:32:31,149 --> 00:32:33,451
Prints are very, very temporary.
772
00:32:33,451 --> 00:32:36,154
Case in point, Jeff's prints
were gone when we got there.
773
00:32:36,154 --> 00:32:37,889
It had been about 3½ weeks.
774
00:32:37,889 --> 00:32:41,960
By preserving these particular
prints in plaster, these are now
775
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,229
gonna be shared with, you know,
776
00:32:45,229 --> 00:32:47,390
potentially dozens
of scientists.
777
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:52,503
No way. Let's see it!
778
00:32:52,503 --> 00:32:54,664
Oh, man!
779
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:55,573
Cliff!
780
00:32:55,573 --> 00:32:57,275
I know. I know.
781
00:32:57,275 --> 00:32:58,343
Check them out.
782
00:32:58,343 --> 00:33:00,712
Very well done!
783
00:33:00,712 --> 00:33:01,412
Awesome.
784
00:33:01,412 --> 00:33:04,415
There are elements of this
that are significant that you
785
00:33:04,415 --> 00:33:07,385
don't normally see, which is
since you have two of the same
786
00:33:07,385 --> 00:33:10,688
foot, do you see movement of
the toes, and that completely
787
00:33:10,688 --> 00:33:13,224
eliminates it being a
rigid cardboard cutout.
788
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,192
I got to be honest.
789
00:33:14,192 --> 00:33:16,761
When we were out here, looking
for evidence, I didn't expect us
790
00:33:16,761 --> 00:33:19,530
to find anything,
and here we are.
791
00:33:19,530 --> 00:33:22,367
No pun intended, but these
prints are very impressive.
792
00:33:22,367 --> 00:33:23,835
[Laughter]
793
00:33:23,835 --> 00:33:26,804
Matt: These tracks
were found on a
794
00:33:26,804 --> 00:33:29,007
trail not very far
from a dirt road.
795
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:32,010
And, of course, then you have
Janet's sighting, a road
796
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:34,579
crossing, and Mary
Scott's, a road crossing.
797
00:33:34,579 --> 00:33:37,782
So, we're starting to see a
definite pattern forming, and
798
00:33:37,782 --> 00:33:40,918
that tells us a lot about these
creatures here in Georgia.
799
00:33:40,918 --> 00:33:44,055
Now, using the knowledge we've
gained from the locals and our
800
00:33:44,055 --> 00:33:47,525
years of experience, we think
we've found the best place to
801
00:33:47,525 --> 00:33:48,760
look for bigfoots here.
802
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,961
This is ground zero.
803
00:33:49,961 --> 00:33:53,464
If they're going to be anywhere
in north Georgia, they're going
804
00:33:53,464 --> 00:33:54,098
to be here.
805
00:33:54,098 --> 00:33:56,734
This is a perfect situation
for us to use the rooftop
806
00:33:56,734 --> 00:33:57,568
thermal imagers.
807
00:33:57,568 --> 00:34:00,505
We can put them on top of our
vehicle, cruise slowly down the
808
00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:02,640
road, and just look to
the left and right.
809
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,475
We got two rooftops.
We got handhelds.
810
00:34:04,475 --> 00:34:06,277
We need some people
to run the handhelds.
811
00:34:06,277 --> 00:34:08,012
Well, he's the one
with the network.
812
00:34:08,012 --> 00:34:10,314
That's right, and I
know people everywhere.
813
00:34:10,314 --> 00:34:11,382
[Laughs]
814
00:34:11,382 --> 00:34:12,116
All right.
815
00:34:12,116 --> 00:34:15,219
Let's get cracking.
816
00:34:15,219 --> 00:34:16,754
Okay, it's looking great.
817
00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:17,789
It's in focus.
818
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:19,991
We are ready to get a 'squatch.
819
00:34:19,991 --> 00:34:22,794
We've come to Georgia with
one goal in mind... to see if
820
00:34:22,794 --> 00:34:23,995
there are bigfoots here.
821
00:34:23,995 --> 00:34:28,166
Everything we've done so far
has led us to this location.
822
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:31,002
This is the area where Cliff
found the tracks, along a road
823
00:34:31,002 --> 00:34:33,304
that goes right through
a thick section of the
824
00:34:33,304 --> 00:34:35,006
Chattahoochee National Forest.
825
00:34:35,006 --> 00:34:38,376
This is the perfect place to
use our vehicle-mounted
826
00:34:38,376 --> 00:34:39,110
thermal cameras.
827
00:34:39,110 --> 00:34:41,679
The smaller Georgia trees and
the scant underbrush means
828
00:34:41,679 --> 00:34:44,515
our thermals will see further
into the forest than it would in
829
00:34:44,515 --> 00:34:45,616
other places.
830
00:34:45,616 --> 00:34:49,020
Hopefully, that will help
us get a Sasquatch on film.
831
00:34:49,020 --> 00:34:51,923
But we didn't want to do this
alone, so we called
832
00:34:51,923 --> 00:34:52,723
in the cavalry.
833
00:34:52,723 --> 00:34:53,524
Oh, yeah.
834
00:34:53,524 --> 00:34:56,027
It's the Georgia
chapter of the BFRO.
835
00:34:56,027 --> 00:35:00,293
We even had Georgia from Georgia
show up to help out on this one.
836
00:35:02,533 --> 00:35:04,535
Here's the plan for tonight.
837
00:35:04,535 --> 00:35:06,671
We're all gonna have radios.
838
00:35:06,671 --> 00:35:08,005
We can talk to each other.
839
00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:10,842
We're gonna make sure also
there's a handheld thermal in
840
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:12,710
each of the vehicles.
841
00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:14,145
You know what we're looking for.
842
00:35:14,145 --> 00:35:15,446
We're looking for a 'squatch.
843
00:35:15,446 --> 00:35:17,582
They're not gonna be
standing out in the open.
844
00:35:17,582 --> 00:35:20,952
They're gonna be behind a tree,
leaning out and looking,
845
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:22,620
trying to check us out.
846
00:35:22,620 --> 00:35:23,354
Let's hit it.
847
00:35:23,354 --> 00:35:24,655
All right. Let's do it.
848
00:35:24,655 --> 00:35:26,020
We're good to go.
849
00:35:28,192 --> 00:35:30,728
What we're about to do has
never been done before.
850
00:35:30,728 --> 00:35:34,165
Nowhere have this many cars
been used in a caravan
851
00:35:34,165 --> 00:35:35,189
of thermal imaging.
852
00:35:35,533 --> 00:35:37,301
Wagons ho.
853
00:35:37,301 --> 00:35:38,136
Okay, folks.
854
00:35:38,136 --> 00:35:40,238
Let's see if we can find
ourselves a 'squatch
855
00:35:40,238 --> 00:35:42,468
in these woods.
856
00:35:47,245 --> 00:35:49,147
Like old times, Bobo.
857
00:35:49,147 --> 00:35:49,814
It is, dude.
858
00:35:49,814 --> 00:35:51,616
How many nights do
you think you and I
859
00:35:51,616 --> 00:35:52,416
have done this together?
860
00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:52,884
A lot.
861
00:35:52,884 --> 00:35:55,620
[Chuckling]
862
00:35:55,620 --> 00:35:56,521
Yeah.
863
00:35:56,521 --> 00:35:59,056
When you plot all the
sightings in northern Georgia,
864
00:35:59,056 --> 00:36:02,260
you see a connection with the
Chattahoochee National Forest.
865
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:04,262
That's where we think
the bigfoots spend
866
00:36:04,262 --> 00:36:05,696
a lot of their time.
867
00:36:05,696 --> 00:36:09,233
It's a great place to do our
thermal caravan here because
868
00:36:09,233 --> 00:36:13,004
there's not too much underbrush,
so the thermal imagers are able
869
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:15,506
to see into the woods a lot
further than they can
870
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:18,576
in most areas.
871
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:20,378
You know, I'm really
liking this search...
872
00:36:20,378 --> 00:36:21,279
reminding me of home.
873
00:36:21,279 --> 00:36:22,914
Its seems the Pacific
Northwest up here.
874
00:36:22,914 --> 00:36:24,415
We're finally in
some big timber.
875
00:36:24,415 --> 00:36:25,383
It's looking good.
876
00:36:25,383 --> 00:36:26,584
It's feeling 'squatchy.
877
00:36:26,584 --> 00:36:29,187
Matt: We'll be approaching the
Appalachian Trail and the
878
00:36:29,187 --> 00:36:31,222
headwaters of the
Chattahoochee River.
879
00:36:31,222 --> 00:36:34,358
There's been a lot of encounters
reported and investigated up and
880
00:36:34,358 --> 00:36:37,191
down these roads, so we're
definitely in a good spot.
881
00:36:39,931 --> 00:36:43,134
All right, folks, is anybody
seeing anything, any animals,
882
00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:44,294
anything at all?
883
00:36:50,074 --> 00:36:52,009
This is what I call
"'squatching."
884
00:36:52,009 --> 00:36:53,411
Ahh.
885
00:36:53,411 --> 00:36:56,278
[Chuckles]
886
00:37:02,787 --> 00:37:05,779
Headwaters are always good.
887
00:37:21,839 --> 00:37:22,607
Come over here and
check this out.
888
00:37:22,607 --> 00:37:23,207
Oh, my god!
889
00:37:23,207 --> 00:37:25,309
Georgia, I'm trying to
find it on my thermal.
890
00:37:25,309 --> 00:37:26,577
Is it 1:00, 2:00? Where is it?
891
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:30,014
It's definitely 3:00
outside of the Delta car.
892
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,182
It's fading, though.
893
00:37:31,182 --> 00:37:32,617
You guys got to come fast.
894
00:37:32,617 --> 00:37:35,019
Hold on, I'll be right there.
895
00:37:35,019 --> 00:37:37,321
Tell them I'm coming out
with a handheld therm.
896
00:37:37,321 --> 00:37:38,618
Keep your eyes on it, Georgia.
897
00:37:42,326 --> 00:37:43,194
I caught it briefly.
898
00:37:43,194 --> 00:37:45,663
I couldn't tell the size, if I
was only seeing a partial animal
899
00:37:45,663 --> 00:37:47,131
or what, but I
caught it briefly.
900
00:37:47,131 --> 00:37:48,966
Whatever it was, it
snuck into the woods.
901
00:37:48,966 --> 00:37:51,002
I want to see if I
can flush it out.
902
00:37:51,002 --> 00:37:52,333
Get it, Bobs.
903
00:37:55,706 --> 00:37:56,707
I don't know what it was.
904
00:37:56,707 --> 00:37:58,109
It's not gonna
come back in view.
905
00:37:58,109 --> 00:38:00,544
We need to get the handhelds and
come down here and see what we
906
00:38:00,544 --> 00:38:01,145
can stir up.
907
00:38:01,145 --> 00:38:02,747
Let's suit up and
hit it, you guys.
908
00:38:02,747 --> 00:38:03,314
Let's go.
909
00:38:03,314 --> 00:38:06,651
Somebody saw a large figure
moving through the woods.
910
00:38:06,651 --> 00:38:08,819
We're gonna let the
volunteers head back home.
911
00:38:08,819 --> 00:38:11,822
We're gonna get our backpacks
on and head in on foot.
912
00:38:11,822 --> 00:38:12,690
All right, you guys.
913
00:38:12,690 --> 00:38:14,959
Cliff, you want to come up with
me this way, then Matt and Ranae
914
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:15,726
can go to the right?
915
00:38:15,726 --> 00:38:16,827
- We'll go left.
- For sure.
916
00:38:16,827 --> 00:38:19,523
All right. Let's go, guys.
917
00:38:26,170 --> 00:38:27,872
We're still pretty
close to the water.
918
00:38:27,872 --> 00:38:29,974
We might not be able to
hear you, but go for it.
919
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:32,276
Okay, I'm gonna do three, so
expect the high-pitched,
920
00:38:32,276 --> 00:38:34,345
shrieky ones.
921
00:38:34,345 --> 00:38:37,114
Copy that.
922
00:38:37,114 --> 00:38:39,275
[Shrieking]
923
00:38:51,395 --> 00:38:53,297
Ask him if he did it.
924
00:38:53,297 --> 00:38:54,965
All right, we didn't
hear a thing.
925
00:38:54,965 --> 00:38:56,567
Did you guys do them?
926
00:38:56,567 --> 00:38:57,535
Sure did.
927
00:38:57,535 --> 00:39:00,371
I can't believe we
didn't hear that.
928
00:39:00,371 --> 00:39:03,407
Matt's gonna go ahead
and fire one out.
929
00:39:03,407 --> 00:39:04,642
Okay, copy that.
930
00:39:04,642 --> 00:39:06,444
We'll listen.
931
00:39:06,444 --> 00:39:09,580
[Exhales deeply]
932
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:12,683
[Inhales deeply]
933
00:39:12,683 --> 00:39:14,251
[Distant howl]
934
00:39:14,251 --> 00:39:18,155
Did they... ask if
they just did a howl.
935
00:39:18,155 --> 00:39:20,825
Did you guys just do a howl?
936
00:39:20,825 --> 00:39:22,159
No, we did not do a howl.
937
00:39:22,159 --> 00:39:23,194
Did you hear one?
938
00:39:23,194 --> 00:39:23,694
Yeah.
939
00:39:23,694 --> 00:39:25,529
Matt thinks he
just heard a howl.
940
00:39:25,529 --> 00:39:26,464
From what direction, please?
941
00:39:26,464 --> 00:39:28,532
I couldn't tell which
direction it was coming from.
942
00:39:28,532 --> 00:39:30,534
It was on the edge of
hearing, but it was definitely
943
00:39:30,534 --> 00:39:32,336
there, and it was echoing
through the valley.
944
00:39:32,336 --> 00:39:33,104
Okay, copy that.
945
00:39:33,104 --> 00:39:34,739
Let us know what
you think it is.
946
00:39:34,739 --> 00:39:37,575
I definitely heard
something out there.
947
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:39,710
You're not messing with
me, are you, Matt?
948
00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:40,778
No, I'm not.
949
00:39:40,778 --> 00:39:41,712
Okay.
950
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:46,817
It was like a man, like a
big man going, "ra-a-a-h!"
951
00:39:46,817 --> 00:39:49,353
It was faintly echoing
through the canyon.
952
00:39:49,353 --> 00:39:51,789
That's why I thought at first
Bobo did it without announcing
953
00:39:51,789 --> 00:39:54,189
it... but he didn't.
954
00:39:59,263 --> 00:40:02,166
I stood down there a while,
looking to see if I could pick
955
00:40:02,166 --> 00:40:05,269
something up, but it appeared to
be moving away, and that seems
956
00:40:05,269 --> 00:40:06,804
to be what happened.
957
00:40:06,804 --> 00:40:09,640
But we had a greater
appreciation for what's going on
958
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,576
in north Georgia with
Sasquatches, and it was a good
959
00:40:12,576 --> 00:40:14,009
expedition for us.
960
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,784
We came here to investigate the
first dash-cam video footage
961
00:40:19,784 --> 00:40:23,354
ever recorded and to ask the
question, "Are there bigfoots
962
00:40:23,354 --> 00:40:24,588
here in northern Georgia?"
963
00:40:24,588 --> 00:40:25,456
[Crunch]
964
00:40:25,456 --> 00:40:26,023
Holy [bleep]
965
00:40:26,023 --> 00:40:27,258
Did you throw something?
966
00:40:27,258 --> 00:40:28,092
No, did you?
967
00:40:28,092 --> 00:40:31,028
Our search has led us to
believe the footage is real, and
968
00:40:31,028 --> 00:40:34,098
it's led us to multiple
eyewitnesses and some of the
969
00:40:34,098 --> 00:40:38,135
best footprints we've seen in
the last 25 years of searching.
970
00:40:38,135 --> 00:40:41,138
Do I think there are bigfoots
here in northern Georgia?
971
00:40:41,138 --> 00:40:42,473
Yes.
972
00:40:42,473 --> 00:40:45,135
[Growls]
