BILL BARTLETT ALL OF A SUDDEN CAME UPON THIS CREATURE.

HE SAW THIS, AND IT WAS KIND OF BURNED ONTO HIS MEMORY.

THE NEXT SIGHTING, WHERE JOHN BAXTER SAW IT,

HE WAS DEFINITELY MORE SCARED.

ITS EYES SEEMED TO GLOW.

IT WASN'T AN ALIEN.

IT WASN'T SOME KIND OF MUTANT ANIMAL.

NOTHING PANNED OUT.

IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE DOVER DEMON

POPPED INTO OUR REALITY AND POPPED OUT.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE DOVER DEMON IS,

BUT I DEFINITELY KNOW THEY HAD A REAL INTERACTION WITH SOMETHING.

THERE ARE CREATURES SCIENCE REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE.

BUT NEW TECHNOLOGY MAKES US QUESTION WHAT IS REAL.

BACK AWAY FROM THE GIRL!

ENTER A REALM WHERE FACT MEETS FICTION...

IT'S REAL! I SAW IT!

...SCIENCE MEETS LEGEND.

SHOOT IT!

AAH!

HEY, THERE.

THIS IS CHAD HURLISS.

AND I'M GONNA SHOW YOU SOMETHING

THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER.

THAT'S SO STUPID. OKAY.

IN APRIL 2007,

UNEMPLOYED CONSTRUCTION WORKER CHAD HURLISS

RECRUITED HIS WIFE, SHANNA,

AND FRIENDS GLEN DIFFEY AND ROYCE BEST

TO SHOOT A FAKE VIDEO ABOUT THE DOVER DEMON AS A HOAX.

THE SCHEME WAS TIMED TO CAPITALIZE

ON INCREASED PUBLICITY SURROUNDING THE 30th ANNIVERSARY

OF THE FIRST SIGHTINGS OF THE NOTORIOUS CREATURE.

HOWEVER, DEEP IN THE WOODS OF DOVER, MASSACHUSETTS,

THEIR DECEPTION TOOK A DEADLY TURN

AS THE GROUP LEARNED

THE CREATURE THEY BELIEVED TO BE A JOKE MIGHT BE ALL TOO REAL.

I'M GONNA GET A PICTURE OF THIS GUY.

I'M GONNA GET VIDEO OF THIS DEMON THIS SATURDAY.

HEY. NOW, THE--

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DOING WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT EARLIER.

REMEMBER YESTERDAY?

NO.

THE DOVER DEMON THING.

OH, YOU WERE SERIOUS?

YEAH, BABY.

OH. COME ON.

BUT YOU WERE WITH ME YESTERDAY. YOU KNOW, IT'S HOT.

IT'S WHAT'S OUT THERE NOW.

IT'S GONNA MAKE US SO MUCH MONEY.

I MEAN, YOU DON'T EVEN-- YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YES.

YOU'RE GONNA DO THIS FOR ME, RIGHT?

YEAH, YEAH, I GUESS.

IT'LL BE CRAZY. I'M SURE IT'LL BE FUN.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

HEY, UM, DUDE, I BEEN WANTING TO TELL YOU, MAN.

I GOT THIS FRIEND OF A FRIEND,

AND THE DUDE'S ACTUALLY SEEN THIS THING.

NO, NO, REALLY. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. YEAH, YEAH.

SPARE ME THE FAIRY TALE, OKAY?

WE ARE NOW HEADING INTO THE DEEP-WOODED AREA OF DOVER,

WHERE THE CREATURE IS SAID TO LIVE.

NOW, AT GREAT PERSONAL RISK,

WE'LL BE VENTURING INTO THE CREATURE'S LAIR

TO PROVE ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT IT TRULY EXISTS.

OKAY, THAT'S GOOD.

HOW'S IT GOING? HEY.

WHAT'S UP?

YOU EXCITED, MAN?

OH, YEAH. I CAN'T WAIT.

GOT MY MONEY? OH, YEAH.

WHAT?

HERE YOU GO.

WHAT, YOU'RE GETTING PAID FOR THIS?

HE'S THE ONLY ONE WHO FITS IN THE COSTUME, ALL RIGHT?

LET'S SEE THIS.

GET THIS OVER WITH.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL, BABY.

DUDE, CHAD,

THAT DOESN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE DOVER DEMON.

IT'S THE BEST I COULD DO FOR NO MONEY, SO JUST SHUT UP.

I AM THE DOVER DEMON.

ROYCE, TAKE THAT OFF, MAN. PEOPLE ARE GONNA SEE YOU.

THE DEMON'S OUT THERE, ALL RIGHT?

NOT IN THE BACKSEAT OF MY CAR.

IT HAD THIS HEAD THAT SOME PEOPLE SAID LOOKED LIKE

A WATERMELON OR A FIGURE 8.

IT HAD VERY PROMINENT EYES.

HAD SPINDLY FINGERS AND A VERY THIN BODY.

LOOKED VERY MUCH LIKE THIS

AND HAD A KIND OF AN ORANGE-PINKISH COLOR TO IT.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S GOING.

WE JUST DO THIS THING RIGHT HERE OR WHAT?

NO, MAN, WE GOT TO DO IT IN THERE

SO THAT PEOPLE DON'T SEE US SETTING UP.

HEY, CHAD, ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THIS?

FOLKS SAY YOU SHOULDN'T GO IN HERE AFTER DARK, YOU KNOW?

IT DOESN'T LIKE PEOPLE COMING IN THE WOODS.

THOSE ARE THE FOLKS I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THEY'RE GONNA REALLY DIG THIS.

IS THERE A DOVER DEMON? THERE WILL BE TONIGHT.

HOLA.

HELLO.

LET'S GO GET US A DEMON. I GUESS SO.

HOW FAR DO WE HAVE TO HIKE, ANYWAYS?

I GOT TO PEE.

WHAT'S THE MATTER, ROYCE, SMALL BLADDER?

WHAT'S THAT?

HEY, GUYS, I THINK I SEE SOMETHING.

RAH!

I GOT YOU GUYS.

YEAH, HILARIOUS.

WHAT AN IDIOT.

WHERE DID YOU GO?

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT FOR?

IT'S FOR BELIEVABILITY.

BELIEVABILITY?

I'M GONNA SHOOT IT UP IN THE AIR.

I'M NOT GONNA HURT ANYONE.

CHAD.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S GO.

ROYCE, LET'S GO.

BILL BARTLETT, THE ORIGINAL WITNESS,

CERTAINLY WAS STARTLED BY IT.

HE WAS IN A CAR WITH SOME OTHER GUYS WHEN HE SAW IT.

AND HE WENT PAST IT,

AND HE STARTED TELLING THEM WHAT HE'D JUST SEEN.

THE NEXT SIGHTING THAT OCCURRED WHERE JOHN BAXTER SAW IT,

HE WAS DEFINITELY MORE SCARED.

HE WAS WALKING HOME FROM HIS GIRLFRIEND'S.

HE SAW THE CREATURE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD,

AND HE CAME CLOSER TO IT,

AND THE CREATURE RAN DOWN A GULLY AND UP

AND LEANED AGAINST A TREE, AND ITS EYES SEEMED TO GLOW.

THE THIRD INCIDENT WHERE IT WAS TWO PEOPLE IN A CAR,

IT SEEMED TO, LIKE, COME ACROSS THE ROAD.

IT WAS JUST THAT IT WAS SO STRANGE

AND SO STARTLINGLY OUT OF PLACE

THAT IT KIND OF SCARED PEOPLE.

MAN, ARE WE ALMOST THERE YET OR WHAT?

YEAH, ROYCE, WE'RE ALMOST THERE, ALL RIGHT? RELAX.

HEY, GUYS, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

DID YOU SEE THIS? SEE THESE MARKS?

IT'S LIKE THREE INCHES INTO THE BARK, MAN.

WHAT THE HELL MAKES CLAW MARKS LIKE THIS IN A FRIGGIN' TREE?

ARE YOU SEEING THIS, CHAD?

YEAH, NICE. GET MORE OF THAT.

ARE YOU NUTS?

IT'S GOOD STUFF. GET IT.

HEY, GUYS, WAIT UP.

COME HERE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

THAT'S GOOD. GET MORE OF THAT STUFF.

YOU'RE NOT TAKING ME SERIOUSLY, DUDE.

THAT THING IS SUPPOSED TO LIVE OUT HERE.

DUDE, THIS IS GOOD STUFF. JUST GET IT, ALL RIGHT?

BABY, HE'S JUST TRYING TO SCARE YOU, OKAY?

WELL, IT'S WORKING.

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

A DEAD RAT OR SOMETHING? OH, MAN, THAT'S DISGUSTING.

HELP, GUYS!

GLEN!

WHOA!

HELP, GUYS!

GLEN!

ROYCE, HELP HIM.

THERE'S A FREAKING CLIFF RIGHT HERE.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT? WHAT HAPPENED?

THIS IS RIDICULOUS, CHAD.

DID YOU GUYS SEE THAT?

FREAKING EDGE WAS CAMOUFLAGED,

LIKE IT WAS DELIBERATELY SET UP TO BE A TRAP.

OKAY, GLEN, NOW YOU'RE FREAKING EVERYBODY OUT, ALL RIGHT?

GLEN, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ALL RIGHT. WELL, I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP GOING NOW.

YOU'RE GONNA GET ONE OF US KILLED OUT HERE, MAN.

THIS IS GETTING CRAZY.

ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LET'S KEEP GOING.

WE'RE NOT FAR.

HEY, GUYS, WAIT UP.

A COUPLE OF THE WITNESSES OF THE DOVER DEMON

SAID THAT IT HAD SHINING EYES.

EYE SHINE IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS AT NIGHT

IN SOME SPECIES OF ANIMALS.

WELL, MANY NOCTURNAL ANIMALS

HAVE AN EYE STRUCTURE THAT ALLOWS MAXIMUM LIGHT IN

AND HAS A WHOLE LAYER THAT REFLECTS LIGHT IN A BIG WAY,

AND SO EYE SHINE IS SOMETHING THAT YOU SEE

IF YOU GO OUT INTO THE FOREST AT NIGHT.

YOU SEE DIFFERENT COLORS AND DIFFERENT PATTERNS

IF YOU'RE LOOKING AT AN ALLIGATOR

VERSUS A DOG VERSUS A CAT VERSUS A RACCOON.

THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS WITH THE DOVER DEMON--

ONE SAYING THAT THE EYES WERE ORANGE,

ONE SAYING THAT THE EYES WERE GREEN.

THIS COULD BE IF ONE PERSON'S HEADLIGHT

WAS A REALLY DIFFERENT COLOR GOING INTO THE ANIMALS EYE,

IT COULD SHINE BACK IN A DIFFERENT COLOR, AS WELL.

AS CHAD PREPARED TO SHOOT THE FAKE VIDEO,

ROYCE GOT INTO HIS COSTUME,

AND SHANNA MADE UP HER FACE TO LOOK LIKE SHE'D BEEN ATTACKED.

ROYCE, SHANNA, GOING DOWN TO THE WOODS, ALL RIGHT?

ON MY CUE, "WHAT WAS THAT?" ALL RIGHT?

SHANNA, YOU SCREAM.

ROYCE COMES CHASING YOU DOWN.

I SHOOT THE GUN.

HE RUNS BACK INTO THE FOREST, AND WE'RE GOOD.

EASY, RIGHT?

I GOT TO PEE AGAIN, MAN.

ROYCE, JUST GO OVER THERE AND STAY OVER THERE, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT.

GONNA BE GOOD, BABY?

YOU READY? I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.

HEY, BABY, TOMORROW,

WE'RE ALL GONNA BE LAUGHING ABOUT THIS, ALL RIGHT?

TWO SECONDS. IT'S GONNA BE FAST.

READY? FINE, WHATEVER.

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

IS THE CAMERA READY?

CHAD, CHECK THIS OUT.

PUT ON NIGHT VISION.

NO, NO, NO.

I WANT A CLEAR SHOT OF THE CREATURE ON THERE.

ALL RIGHT, MAN, HOW DO YOU WANT TO SHOOT THIS?

ALL RIGHT, WELL, I WANT TO SEE SHANNA, RIGHT?

I WANT TO SEE ROYCE BEHIND HER.

I WANT TO GET A SHOT OF THE GUN.

WHAT WAS THAT?

BABY, WHAT IS IT? WHAT'S WRONG?

IT CAME AT ME. THAT THING.

I SAW IT! I SAW IT, CHAD!

WAS IT THE DEMON?

I'M NOT PRETENDING. WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

CHAD.

CHAD, LOOK AT HER, MAN. I DON'T THINK SHE'S JOKING.

IN THE ANNALS OF CRYPTOZOOLOGY,

THERE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SOME OVERZEALOUS FANS

OR OUTRIGHT CON ARTISTS

WHO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF TRUE BELIEVERS

BY PERPETRATING HOAXES.

WE REVEAL TWO OF THESE CRYPTOZOOLOGICAL DECEPTIONS

WHEN "LOST TAPES" RETURNS.

TWO OF THE MOST FAMOUS AND ELUSIVE HIDDEN CREATURES

HAVE BEEN THE SUBJECT OF WELL-PUBLICIZED SCAMS.

FOR INSTANCE, A MAN CONFESSED ON HIS DEATHBED

THAT THIS CONTROVERSIAL 1934 PICTURE OF THE LOCH NESS MONSTER

DEPICTED NOT A CREATURE,

BUT A CARVED HEAD AND NECK ATTACHED TO A TOY SUBMARINE.

MORE RECENTLY, IN 2008,

TWO GEORGIA RESIDENTS HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE

ANNOUNCING THEY HAD FOUND THE BODY OF A BIGFOOT.

HOWEVER, SUBSEQUENTLY, IT WAS DISCOVERED

THAT THE CORPSE WAS ACTUALLY A RUBBER COSTUME

FILLED WITH POSSUM ENTRAILS.

WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE. IT IS REAL.

CHAD.

CHAD, LOOK AT HER MAN. I DON'T THINK SHE'S JOKING.

MAN, WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

SHANNA, ROYCE IS OUT THERE, ALL RIGHT?

WHAT YOU SAW WAS ROYCE. HE IS IN A COSTUME.

IT IS NOT ROYCE. IT IS REAL! I SAW IT!

WHAT IF YOU JUST HIT ROYCE? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME ON! ROYCE!

GIVE ME THE CAMERA. I WANT TO USE IT FOR THE LIGHT.

ROYCE! ROYCE, COME ON, MAN.

OKAY, SO, WE'RE GONNA SPLIT UP.

WHAT? ALL RIGHT?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

LOOK, IF IN 20 MINUTES WE DON'T FIND HIM,

WE'LL MEET BACK AT THE CAR, ALL RIGHT?

THIS IS ALL ON YOU, MAN. GLEN!

I TOLD YOU, MAN. GLEN, ALL RIGHT!

OKAY? LISTEN TO ME. WE GOT TO FIND ROYCE, SO--

GLEN, YOU'RE GONNA HEAD ON OVER THAT WAY.

AND SHANNA AND I,

WE'RE GONNA HEAD IN THAT DIRECTION, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, BABY, FOLLOW ME.

WE LOOKED INTO WHETHER IT COULD BE A MUTANT SORT OF ANIMAL

OR A BABY HORSE,

SOME KIND OF EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL THAT MIGHT HAVE DISAPPEARED

FROM SOME LABORATORY THAT DOESN'T EXIST THERE.

SOMEBODY CAME UP WITH THE THEORY IT WAS A BABY MOOSE.

IT WAS THE WRONG TIME OF YEAR FOR A BABY MOOSE.

A BABY MOOSE AT THAT TIME OF YEAR

WOULD HAVE BEEN THE SIZE OF A VOLKSWAGEN.

THERE ARE A COUPLE OF IDEAS THAT I HAVE,

BUT ALL OF THEM ARE EXOTICS,

SO THEY'RE ANIMALS THAT YOU WOULDN'T FIND

IN DOVER, MASSACHUSETTS,

UNLESS SOMEONE HAD THE ANIMAL FOR A PET AND THE PET ESCAPED.

BUT I THINK THIS IS A POSSIBILITY,

AND IT WOULD MATCH NICELY WITH THE FACT

THAT THE DOVER DEMON WAS ONLY SEEN ON A TWO-DAY PERIOD.

I THINK MY FAVORITE IN TRYING TO MATCH UP THE DOVER DEMON

WITH A NATURAL SPECIES

IS THE SLENDER LORIS.

IT'S A NOCTURNAL PRIMATE.

IT HAS VERY SKINNY, LONG ARMS AND LEGS.

IT HAS GIGANTIC EYES.

IT'S NOCTURNAL,

SO IT HAS THE TAPEDUM LUCIDUM AND CAN HAVE EYE SHINE.

WELL, THIS IS THE ONE CASE THAT I REALLY AND MOST DEFINITELY

AM SECURE IN SAYING I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS.

ROYCE?

ROYCE, BUDDY!

ROYCE!

ROYCE?

WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.

DID YOU HEAR THAT?

OH! AAH!

OH, MAN.

ROYCE, BUDDY.

YOU SHOT ME.

OH, MY GOD.

I'M SO SORRY, BUDDY. I'M SO SORRY.

OKAY, ALL RIGHT, WE'LL TAKE HIM TO THE VAN,

AND WE'LL TAKE HIM TO THE-- GLEN.

LET'S GO. WAIT, GLEN.

GLEN! GLEN, WE FOUND HIM!

CHAD!

WHAT'S GOING ON, BUDDY?

IT'S REAL, MAN.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

THE DEMON. IT'S REAL.

I SAW IT, MAN-- THE DEMON. IT'S REAL.

I TOLD YOU. WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

ROYCE, YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY, ALL RIGHT, BUDDY?

YOU'RE GONNA BE OKAY.

WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE, MAN.

THERE IT IS.

ALL RIGHT, IT'S TIME TO GO, BUDDY.

OKAY.

I CAN'T MOVE. OKAY, WAIT.

ALL RIGHT, HERE'S WHAT WE'RE GONNA DO.

WE'RE GONNA GRAB THE DUFFEL BAG, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA PUT HIM ON,

AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DRAG HIM WITH IT, OKAY?

ALL RIGHT, ROYCE, BUDDY, WE'RE COMING RIGHT BACK FOR YOU, OKAY?

NO. NO, DON'T LEAVE ME, CHAD.

IT'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT. DON'T LEAVE ME, MAN.

ROYCE. NO, CHAD.

WE'RE COMING RIGHT BACK.

OW, OW!

OH, MY GOD. LET'S GO.

LET'S GO.

OH, GOD.

OH. OH, MY GOD.

OH.

OH, CHAD.

HE GOT HIM.

COME ON, LET'S GO!

RUN. RUN!

AH!

OH, MY GOD, BABY. ARE YOU OKAY?

NO, I JUST TRIPPED ON SOMETHING.

COME ON.

LET'S GET OUT OF--

OH!

OH, MY GOD. GLEN.

BABY, YOU OKAY?

NO, I JUST TRIPPED ON SOMETHING. COME ON.

LET'S GET OUT OF--

OH!

OH, MY GOD. GLEN.

ALL RIGHT, BABY, LET'S RUN!

LET'S GO! GO!

SHANNA, LET'S GO!

OH!

CHAD! CHAD!

OH! CHAD! OH.

ARE YOU OKAY?

OH, BABY, I THINK I BROKE MY LEG.

OKAY, OKAY, I'M ON MY WAY DOWN.

I'M COMING.

OH, GOD.

OH. AAH.

OH, MY GOD. LOOK AT YOUR LEG.

ALL RIGHT, LOOK, I GOT TO GO GET HELP.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK. I'M GONNA GO GET US HELP, OKAY?

I'LL BE...

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?

OH, GOD, WHAT IS THAT? WHAT IS THAT?

IT IS A TRAP. IT IS A TRAP.

I KNOW, BABY. I KNOW. I KNOW.

COME ON. Shh.

YOU GOT TO BE QUIET. YOU GOT TO BE QUIET.

Shh, BABY, PLEASE. PLEASE.

WHAT WAS THAT?

LOOK AT THAT.

OH, GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

SHANNA, WHAT IS IT?!

OF THE FOUR THAT ENTERED THE DOVER WOODS

THAT APRIL NIGHT, NO ONE RETURNED.

THE BODIES OF CHAD AND SHANNA HURLISS, GLEN DIFFEY,

AND ROYCE BEST WERE NEVER FOUND.

BUT BLOOD DISCOVERED ON THE GROUND

AND ON THE TATTERED REMAINS OF THE DEMON COSTUME

WAS IDENTIFIED AS THEIRS.

FOOTAGE SUPPOSEDLY DEPICTING HIDDEN CREATURES

IS OFTEN REVEALED TO BE A HOAX.

HOWEVER, SIGHTINGS OF THESE MYSTERIOUS BEINGS CONTINUE--

UNEXPLAINED PHENOMENA THAT LEAVE US WONDERING

DO THEY LIVE AMONG US?
