1
00:00:29,329 --> 00:00:31,765
I think
bigfoot is an animal
2
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:33,933
that we already know
from the fossil record.
3
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:35,301
It's a fair presumption
4
00:00:35,301 --> 00:00:37,637
that this was
an erect, bipedal animal,
5
00:00:37,637 --> 00:00:41,508
standing perhaps 8 feet tall,
weighing about 800 pounds,
6
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:43,676
and being presumably
covered with hair.
7
00:00:43,676 --> 00:00:46,046
And this, of course,
is an exact description
8
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,347
of the living Sasquatch.
9
00:00:47,347 --> 00:00:49,015
911.
What are you reporting?
10
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:52,519
We got something
roaming around out here.
11
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:55,288
Did you see what it was?
Was it a person or an animal?
12
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:57,023
I can't tell.
13
00:00:57,023 --> 00:00:59,059
He is known to rip people apart
if he gets charged.
14
00:00:59,059 --> 00:01:00,960
What do you think
they ought to do about him?
15
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,363
Kill him.
He might hurt somebody.
16
00:01:03,363 --> 00:01:06,599
It was walking
very much like a human.
17
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,234
What's going on now, sir?
18
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:11,371
Son of a is
about 6'9". I don't know.
19
00:01:11,371 --> 00:01:12,539
Do you see him now, sir?
20
00:01:12,539 --> 00:01:14,707
- Yes, I'm looking right at him.
- Uh-oh.
21
00:01:14,707 --> 00:01:16,174
Get somebody out here.
22
00:01:18,445 --> 00:01:24,050
There are creatures
science refuses to recognize.
23
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:29,078
But new technology makes us
question what is real.
24
00:01:31,524 --> 00:01:33,048
Come on!
25
00:01:39,766 --> 00:01:43,203
Enter a realm
where fact meets fiction...
26
00:01:43,203 --> 00:01:47,037
...science meets legend...
27
00:01:51,010 --> 00:01:52,245
Oh, my god!
28
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Ripped By mstoll
29
00:02:16,436 --> 00:02:19,606
In 2005,
Rachel Glen was assigned
30
00:02:19,606 --> 00:02:22,208
to investigate the illegal
hunting of black bears,
31
00:02:22,208 --> 00:02:24,210
whose population
was being decimated
32
00:02:24,210 --> 00:02:27,046
in the Pacific Northwest.
33
00:02:27,046 --> 00:02:28,581
She documented her efforts
34
00:02:28,581 --> 00:02:31,017
through a combination
of field journals,
35
00:02:31,017 --> 00:02:34,020
surveillance cameras,
and online web reports.
36
00:02:34,020 --> 00:02:36,556
In addition to the evidence
of poaching,
37
00:02:36,556 --> 00:02:38,992
between August 2nd
and August 14th,
38
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:41,995
she also noted strange,
unidentifiable sounds
39
00:02:41,995 --> 00:02:43,163
in the area
40
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,999
and the distinct feeling
she was being watched.
41
00:02:45,999 --> 00:02:49,162
By what or whom,
she did not know.
42
00:03:22,735 --> 00:03:24,571
Game warden is calling it
43
00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:27,273
one of the largest poaching
cases ever on record.
44
00:03:27,273 --> 00:03:30,176
The bodies of four black
bears were found today,
45
00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:32,644
abandoned by the side
of County Road 18.
46
00:03:44,290 --> 00:03:47,987
The paws and gall bladders of
the bears had all been removed.
47
00:04:05,645 --> 00:04:07,772
Oh! Unh!
48
00:04:29,435 --> 00:04:31,537
Today is August 2nd.
49
00:04:31,537 --> 00:04:34,507
Poaching seems to be
on the increase this season.
50
00:04:34,507 --> 00:04:36,876
I myself was caught
in a snare today.
51
00:04:36,876 --> 00:04:38,745
I disabled it and will continue
52
00:04:38,745 --> 00:04:41,339
to disable any snares
that I come across.
53
00:04:45,985 --> 00:04:47,520
I never know.
54
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,558
I've been hearing some strange
noises that I can't identify
55
00:04:52,558 --> 00:04:55,461
with any of the wildlife
in this area.
56
00:04:55,461 --> 00:04:57,697
I will continue to monitor it
57
00:04:57,697 --> 00:05:00,533
with video
and audio surveillance.
58
00:05:15,448 --> 00:05:18,484
I was coming down
north on this route here,
59
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:21,087
and I heard some noise
screaming back in here,
60
00:05:21,087 --> 00:05:24,490
and the noise that was coming
from that creature
61
00:05:24,490 --> 00:05:26,826
is what was
on the recorder here.
62
00:05:31,497 --> 00:05:34,500
We saw it coming up
over that ridge up there.
63
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,470
It made the most horrible sound
I'd ever heard in my life.
64
00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:42,775
I think bigfoot is an animal
65
00:05:42,775 --> 00:05:45,044
that we already know
from the fossil record.
66
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:47,347
This is a cast of the lower jaw
67
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:50,249
of what we call
the gigantopithecus.
68
00:05:50,249 --> 00:05:51,851
In this region,
69
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:55,688
the caves have produced teeth
of a primate, gigantopithecus,
70
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:58,925
which may have gone extinct
as recently as 10,000 years ago,
71
00:05:58,925 --> 00:06:02,028
that was just a bit too much
like us for our own comfort.
72
00:06:02,028 --> 00:06:04,263
It's a fair presumption
73
00:06:04,263 --> 00:06:06,733
that this was
an erect, bipedal animal,
74
00:06:06,733 --> 00:06:10,002
standing perhaps 8 feet tall,
weighing about 800 pounds,
75
00:06:10,002 --> 00:06:12,405
and being presumably covered
with hair.
76
00:06:12,405 --> 00:06:14,774
And this, of course,
is an exact description
77
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:16,503
of the living Sasquatch.
78
00:06:18,878 --> 00:06:23,616
Rachel Glen's
field journal, August 6, 2005.
79
00:06:23,616 --> 00:06:26,753
Rachel disabled more traps
near the northeast basin...
80
00:06:26,753 --> 00:06:29,255
cable snares,
identical settings.
81
00:06:29,255 --> 00:06:32,859
She suspected it to be the
work of the same poacher.
82
00:06:32,859 --> 00:06:35,528
She also filed
these photographs,
83
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:37,797
unable to identify the subject,
84
00:06:37,797 --> 00:06:40,664
as the images
were indiscernible.
85
00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:15,701
Damn it!
86
00:08:20,833 --> 00:08:23,169
Shots were fired today
at an area park ranger.
87
00:08:23,169 --> 00:08:25,505
The poacher turned
his gun on the officer
88
00:08:25,505 --> 00:08:27,530
and fired four to six rounds.
89
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:48,427
There are very stiff penalties
for poaching in this state
90
00:08:48,427 --> 00:08:52,193
and very high rewards for those
who catch poachers in the act.
91
00:08:56,102 --> 00:09:00,139
Rachel's journal,
August 9th.
92
00:09:00,139 --> 00:09:02,174
Destroyed numerous traps.
93
00:09:02,174 --> 00:09:05,311
Anxious behavior in bears
near her post
94
00:09:05,311 --> 00:09:07,580
attributed to mysterious noises
from the forest.
95
00:09:07,580 --> 00:09:12,018
Admits she herself is disturbed
by the strange sounds.
96
00:09:12,018 --> 00:09:15,249
"There's something out there,"
she writes.
97
00:09:24,063 --> 00:09:26,759
What the hell?
98
00:09:31,470 --> 00:09:34,974
Well, something appears
99
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:39,011
to have tampered with camera 7.
100
00:09:39,011 --> 00:09:42,682
This camera is 9 feet
off the ground.
101
00:09:42,682 --> 00:09:46,778
It does not look
like the work of a bear here.
102
00:09:50,656 --> 00:09:53,192
What is this?
103
00:09:53,192 --> 00:09:57,096
Some sort of fur.
104
00:09:57,096 --> 00:09:59,165
I know what bear look like,
105
00:09:59,165 --> 00:10:01,334
what they smell like,
what they sound like.
106
00:10:01,334 --> 00:10:03,903
This was not a bear.
I was terrified.
107
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:06,105
There's no doubt about it.
108
00:10:06,105 --> 00:10:08,908
They were unlike anything
that I had ever seen
109
00:10:08,908 --> 00:10:10,409
or even imagined before.
110
00:10:10,409 --> 00:10:12,211
As I got a little bit closer,
111
00:10:12,211 --> 00:10:15,247
I noticed it was walking
very much like a human,
112
00:10:15,247 --> 00:10:18,417
and the height had to have been
maybe 7 ½ feet tall.
113
00:10:18,417 --> 00:10:20,987
20 years of outdoor
experience in Alaska...
114
00:10:20,987 --> 00:10:22,989
I'm not afraid
to be out in the woods.
115
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:27,326
What I saw was unlike anything
I've ever experienced before.
116
00:10:27,326 --> 00:10:30,763
We have...
117
00:10:30,763 --> 00:10:35,635
a vial of fur
from tree under camera 7.
118
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,403
What the hell?
119
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:52,416
What the was that?
120
00:11:05,731 --> 00:11:08,757
The full revelation next.
121
00:12:23,642 --> 00:12:25,633
Oh, my god, my camera.
122
00:12:37,623 --> 00:12:40,826
I saw this very tall,
dark, hairy creature...
123
00:12:40,826 --> 00:12:43,996
i.e. Bigfoot... peer its head
out from behind the tree.
124
00:12:43,996 --> 00:12:45,531
I believe it was curious.
125
00:12:45,531 --> 00:12:50,035
Of all the great apes, the
gorilla is the largest species,
126
00:12:50,035 --> 00:12:52,936
and they're often described
as intelligent.
127
00:13:11,157 --> 00:13:12,925
I got
a couple things here, Rachel.
128
00:13:12,925 --> 00:13:14,560
First off,
the lab had a question
129
00:13:14,560 --> 00:13:16,262
about that hair sample
you sent in.
130
00:13:16,262 --> 00:13:19,165
There's no chance of
contamination on that, is there?
131
00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:20,399
Why do you ask?
132
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,368
Turns out, it's not a bear.
133
00:13:22,368 --> 00:13:25,171
It's more like a...
like a primate or something.
134
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:26,405
Really?
135
00:13:26,405 --> 00:13:28,340
Yeah, they're... they're running
more tests on it.
136
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:29,942
I'll let you know
if they find anything.
137
00:13:29,942 --> 00:13:32,111
But that's not the main reason
I needed to speak with you.
138
00:13:32,111 --> 00:13:35,848
Listen, we got some info
about hostile poachers up there.
139
00:13:35,848 --> 00:13:38,217
Right now,
you're the only one I got
140
00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:39,852
covering that entire area.
141
00:13:39,852 --> 00:13:44,456
I might need to get you out
of there sooner than we planned.
142
00:13:44,456 --> 00:13:46,392
Well, just keep me informed.
143
00:13:46,392 --> 00:13:48,460
Let me know what you find out.
144
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:51,230
All right, Rachel.
I'll get back to you shortly.
145
00:13:51,230 --> 00:13:53,132
Bye.
146
00:13:53,132 --> 00:13:55,930
Rachel!
147
00:14:23,028 --> 00:14:26,198
August 13th.
148
00:14:26,198 --> 00:14:29,068
Rachel received word
that help was on the way,
149
00:14:29,068 --> 00:14:32,338
but she would have to hold out
for another 36 hours
150
00:14:32,338 --> 00:14:34,106
before it arrived.
151
00:14:34,106 --> 00:14:36,008
She packed her bags,
152
00:14:36,008 --> 00:14:41,146
then spent the day gathering
final footage of her bears.
153
00:14:41,146 --> 00:14:44,984
There was only one entry
in her journal for this day...
154
00:14:44,984 --> 00:14:46,886
a question.
155
00:14:46,886 --> 00:14:48,581
"Where are you?"
156
00:15:18,517 --> 00:15:21,453
Mmm.
157
00:15:21,453 --> 00:15:23,956
Miss Rachel.
158
00:15:23,956 --> 00:15:25,856
There you are.
159
00:15:32,164 --> 00:15:34,223
Where'd you go?
160
00:15:45,811 --> 00:15:47,676
You looking for me?
161
00:16:06,532 --> 00:16:09,668
You looking for me?
162
00:16:12,738 --> 00:16:15,574
You're pretty and smart.
163
00:16:15,574 --> 00:16:17,543
Pervert.
164
00:16:17,543 --> 00:16:21,480
You quit destroying my traps,
maybe I'll leave you alone.
165
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:22,915
Give me the camera.
166
00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:25,918
You want this, come get it.
167
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:28,320
Give me the camera.
168
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:31,490
Down on the ground.
169
00:16:39,031 --> 00:16:40,366
August 14th.
170
00:16:40,366 --> 00:16:43,202
After viewing footage
on the poacher's camcorder,
171
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:46,071
Rachel now felt
even more vulnerable.
172
00:16:46,071 --> 00:16:49,975
Where she had always felt safe
in the secluded woods,
173
00:16:49,975 --> 00:16:52,878
fear now replaced that emotion.
174
00:16:52,878 --> 00:16:55,748
"I need help now," she writes.
175
00:16:55,748 --> 00:16:59,184
Rachel continued to study
the photographic evidence
176
00:16:59,184 --> 00:17:00,586
of the mysterious animal,
177
00:17:00,586 --> 00:17:03,022
which appeared to be
drawing closer to her.
178
00:17:03,022 --> 00:17:05,290
One of her last entries reads,
179
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:09,528
"It almost seems like he is
keeping a watchful eye on me."
180
00:17:09,528 --> 00:17:12,398
We can see a
lot of instances
181
00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:15,200
from zoos
and also in the wild...
182
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,369
the social bonds
that are established
183
00:17:17,369 --> 00:17:21,203
between a human and the primate
species they study.
184
00:17:51,136 --> 00:17:52,838
Well, today...
185
00:17:57,309 --> 00:17:59,244
Today is August 14th.
186
00:17:59,244 --> 00:18:01,180
I've had quite a day.
187
00:18:01,180 --> 00:18:04,316
Had an earlier encounter
with a poacher.
188
00:18:06,952 --> 00:18:10,689
Rachel, I told you
not to mess with me.
189
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:12,257
Hey, in there!
190
00:18:14,226 --> 00:18:16,728
Oh, god! Oh!
191
00:18:16,728 --> 00:18:17,996
Hey!
192
00:18:17,996 --> 00:18:20,499
Oh! I will shoot you!
193
00:18:20,499 --> 00:18:22,134
I am not afraid to shoot you!
194
00:18:22,134 --> 00:18:23,836
I'm talking to you!
I see you in there!
195
00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:27,106
- Get the out!
- Get the out!
196
00:18:27,106 --> 00:18:29,942
Get the out of here!
197
00:18:37,749 --> 00:18:39,410
Help me!
198
00:19:23,128 --> 00:19:25,096
August 14th.
199
00:19:27,332 --> 00:19:30,836
There's been some sort of...
200
00:19:30,836 --> 00:19:32,437
an attack.
201
00:19:38,076 --> 00:19:40,913
Oh, god!
202
00:19:40,913 --> 00:19:42,608
Oh, god!
203
00:19:46,051 --> 00:19:47,348
Oh!
204
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:04,136
God!
205
00:20:04,136 --> 00:20:06,471
Oh, god!
206
00:20:06,471 --> 00:20:08,371
Oh, my god!
207
00:20:11,476 --> 00:20:13,645
Rachel Glen's final report
208
00:20:13,645 --> 00:20:15,714
included
an encouraging assessment
209
00:20:15,714 --> 00:20:19,084
of a now-thriving
black-bear population.
210
00:20:19,084 --> 00:20:21,486
An incident report was included
211
00:20:21,486 --> 00:20:25,224
for the hunter who was killed
by his own traps.
212
00:20:25,224 --> 00:20:27,926
There was no further mention
213
00:20:27,926 --> 00:20:32,056
of any new or strange
species in the area.
214
00:20:33,465 --> 00:20:34,833
Every year,
215
00:20:34,833 --> 00:20:37,803
more bigfoot sightings
are reported across the world.
216
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:39,404
There is no final conclusion
217
00:20:39,404 --> 00:20:41,607
as to whether
he is a benevolent soul
218
00:20:41,607 --> 00:20:43,542
or a monster of the woods.
219
00:20:43,542 --> 00:20:46,545
As with so many
other hidden creatures,
220
00:20:46,545 --> 00:20:50,641
we're left to wonder,
do they live among us?
221
00:20:54,500 --> 00:21:02,500
