Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:01,660 --> 00:00:03,636
Previously on expedition big foot
2
00:00:03,660 --> 00:00:07,676
I believe big foot are here in
Washington in large numbers.
3
00:00:07,700 --> 00:00:09,136
We're investigating this fork
4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,236
because it's the perfect
natural choke point.
5
00:00:12,260 --> 00:00:15,976
And if this trip wire works
like I think it should...
6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,436
Nothing, and I mean nothing,
will be able to get through
7
00:00:18,460 --> 00:00:20,000
without us knowing about it.
8
00:00:20,860 --> 00:00:22,036
Right now, the objective,
9
00:00:22,060 --> 00:00:23,836
get down to where I saw that thermal,
10
00:00:23,860 --> 00:00:25,036
see what I can find.
11
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:27,236
I wanna get on a trail while it's hot.
12
00:00:27,260 --> 00:00:29,876
Whatever moved
through here, kept going.
13
00:00:29,900 --> 00:00:31,836
In northern California, we believe
14
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:34,336
they went to the lost coast to give birth,
15
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:35,976
but here in Washington,
16
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,276
they might be looking for mates.
17
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,676
- Something's moving towards us.
- -Something's coming.
18
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:42,800
What was that?
19
00:00:43,700 --> 00:00:45,536
Jeez!
20
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:46,407
Something came up here
21
00:00:46,431 --> 00:00:48,136
and pushed its hand up against there.
22
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:49,300
That is massive.
23
00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:51,536
That's a building, bro.
24
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,476
It's a logging cabin.
25
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:55,430
There's an old trestle.
26
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:20,576
Biko, did you hear that?
27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,407
Yeah, I did.
28
00:01:21,431 --> 00:01:23,636
It's like a very high-pitched whistle.
29
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:24,960
Yeah.
30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:27,976
What is going on right now?
31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:29,076
While pursuing a creature
32
00:01:29,100 --> 00:01:31,736
that moved through their
camp just a few days ago,
33
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,836
Dr. Mireya mayor and biko Wright
34
00:01:33,860 --> 00:01:35,676
have begun to hear strange noises
35
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:37,136
coming from the opposite side
36
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:38,676
of an abandoned, crumbling bridge
37
00:01:38,700 --> 00:01:42,400
teetering over a river
hundreds of feet below them.
38
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,236
Can you see it?
39
00:01:44,260 --> 00:01:45,630
I can't see it.
40
00:01:47,260 --> 00:01:48,776
God, that's frustrating, isn't it?
41
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,736
- There's something over there.
- Yeah.
42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400
And I kind of have
that eerie feeling again.
43
00:01:54,100 --> 00:01:55,700
Like I did the other day.
44
00:01:56,660 --> 00:01:59,476
We have to try to make
it down on the other side
45
00:01:59,500 --> 00:02:01,836
so we can get across.
46
00:02:01,860 --> 00:02:03,636
Looking at the height of this bridge,
47
00:02:03,660 --> 00:02:05,636
it's obvious that there's
a very steep drop.
48
00:02:05,660 --> 00:02:07,636
We're in the middle of nowhere,
49
00:02:07,660 --> 00:02:09,676
and nighttime is no time to try
50
00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:11,376
and explore how to get down.
51
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,436
It's just not safe.
52
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:14,476
Let's come back during the day.
53
00:02:14,500 --> 00:02:16,830
We gotta find a way across tomorrow.
54
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,036
Rolling here.
55
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:30,900
Mireya interview cdf cam.
56
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,176
Earlier today, biko saw
something on the top of the hill,
57
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,636
and right now, we are
making it our mission
58
00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:41,976
to try and see what direction it
went in, to see if we can identify it.
59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,300
And that has to do with...
60
00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:53,730
What was that?
61
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,600
Are you hearing that?
62
00:02:59,460 --> 00:03:01,700
It sounds like there's a back and forth.
63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,600
Okay, is biko hearing it?
64
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,060
What is that?
65
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,136
Were you guys hearing
that at your interview spot?
66
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:31,536
I could hear something,
too, from where I was.
67
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:32,736
What did it sound like to you?
68
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,236
Nothing I... nothing I've heard here yet.
69
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:36,137
Same.
70
00:03:36,161 --> 00:03:37,236
Do you wanna take a walk in
71
00:03:37,260 --> 00:03:39,400
- and just see if we see anything?
- Might as well.
72
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,830
Now it's, like, eerily quiet.
73
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,300
The woods go quiet
when a predator is around.
74
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,300
It's back.
75
00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:14,236
That sounded like almost
like an animal got injured.
76
00:04:14,260 --> 00:04:17,236
It sounded like it was a shriek of death.
77
00:04:17,260 --> 00:04:19,000
No, something's moving there.
78
00:04:27,860 --> 00:04:29,230
Is that something?
79
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,136
I swear that sound reminded me
80
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,700
of that moment where an animal's just...
81
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:40,530
Gone, and it's basically just in pain.
82
00:04:46,460 --> 00:04:47,836
In this part of Washington,
83
00:04:47,860 --> 00:04:50,936
the only animal species that I know
84
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,736
that hunts in packs
are wolves and coyotes.
85
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,476
So, I'm not really sure what
mireya and I are hearing.
86
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:59,076
But I know that whatever it is,
87
00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:01,000
it's coming from that
other side of the river.
88
00:05:01,660 --> 00:05:02,876
And now it's so quiet
89
00:05:02,900 --> 00:05:05,400
that I'm wondering if
whatever it was is gone.
90
00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:10,800
I don't see anything.
91
00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:31,000
All right, I'll carry the sat phone.
92
00:05:33,060 --> 00:05:34,630
We should be in good shape.
93
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,936
Four miles away from
mireya and biko's position,
94
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,536
Russell has decided to
turn an old logging cabin
95
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:43,136
into a temporary base camp
96
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,476
while in pursuit of a thermal signature
97
00:05:45,500 --> 00:05:48,130
that he believes could be big foot.
98
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,036
You got all your gear?
99
00:05:51,060 --> 00:05:52,536
Yep.
100
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,876
Last night in the
darkness, I lost the trail.
101
00:05:54,900 --> 00:05:56,700
But the good news is I found this cabin.
102
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,076
It kind of gave me an idea.
103
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:00,776
I'm gonna use this cabin
104
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,336
and stage some of my
heavier equipment here.
105
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,500
I'll be able to cover a
lot more ground that way.
106
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:12,036
Something has moved through here.
107
00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:13,636
I can tell that there's a lot of animals
108
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:14,936
moving around the area.
109
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,636
So, what I wanna do
at this point is set up
110
00:06:16,660 --> 00:06:20,376
a perimeter of trail cams
around this cabin area.
111
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,236
I don't ever get a chance
to use these things
112
00:06:22,260 --> 00:06:24,236
'cause we're on the move so much.
113
00:06:24,260 --> 00:06:27,600
So, maybe we'd get a payoff on this one.
114
00:06:28,260 --> 00:06:30,736
One of the things that's made me
115
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:32,936
I find success out here as a researcher
116
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,576
is I'm on the go.
117
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,000
It comes through...
118
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,230
And it goes back through.
119
00:06:39,900 --> 00:06:41,636
Being able to work out of this cabin,
120
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:43,776
once we set them up,
we can leave one area,
121
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,136
go research another area
122
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,030
while these cams are
actively researching for us.
123
00:06:48,860 --> 00:06:50,436
A pretty good, broad view here.
124
00:06:50,460 --> 00:06:53,336
We're covering a lot of
forest coming this way,
125
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,236
and we can cover
anything coming this way.
126
00:06:55,260 --> 00:06:59,176
Now that I have set up trail
cameras around this perimeter,
127
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,576
I'm gonna try to get back
on the trail of whatever it is
128
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,976
that I was tracking last night.
129
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,400
Do you ever get the feeling
they're watching us right now?
130
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,536
I do.
131
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,836
At the command center
in the southernmost point
132
00:07:11,860 --> 00:07:12,906
of the target zone,
133
00:07:12,930 --> 00:07:15,676
Bryce continues to
monitor the seismic trip wire
134
00:07:15,700 --> 00:07:17,076
the team deployed.
135
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:19,776
This trip wire will alert
Bryce of any big foot
136
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,636
moving through the area.
137
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:24,376
Looks like there might have been
a couple deer that came through,
138
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,736
but nothing walking
upright and on two legs,
139
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,336
which is when the system will alert me.
140
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,636
Now we just wait for, wait
for our quarry to come in.
141
00:07:34,660 --> 00:07:36,576
The team placed the seismic trip wire
142
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,076
at the northernmost
point of the target zone
143
00:07:39,100 --> 00:07:40,476
in order to take full advantage
144
00:07:40,500 --> 00:07:42,336
of the fork's natural choke point.
145
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,400
And I just turned the device on.
146
00:07:45,100 --> 00:07:46,336
How's that, copy?
147
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,036
All right, Russ, I've got you right here.
148
00:07:49,060 --> 00:07:50,636
The ground team has experienced
149
00:07:50,660 --> 00:07:52,776
lots of possible big foot activity.
150
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,676
So far, none of it has occurred
151
00:07:54,700 --> 00:07:57,230
in the vicinity of the seismic sensors.
152
00:07:57,860 --> 00:07:59,436
So, this is the 3D scan,
153
00:07:59,460 --> 00:08:01,836
that mireya and biko took
154
00:08:01,860 --> 00:08:04,376
when they went back to that hillside.
155
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,936
Here we go.
156
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,676
This is the most powerful scanner
157
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:10,236
that we have ever used out in the field.
158
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:11,636
Looking pretty good.
159
00:08:11,660 --> 00:08:14,036
He's pretty sure it was a big foot,
160
00:08:14,060 --> 00:08:17,336
but, we can't, you know,
jump to conclusions.
161
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,936
So, I've set up a call
with Dr. Emily splichal.
162
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,576
She's a forensic podiatric
163
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,976
who we've spoken to in the past.
164
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,536
During the northern California expedition,
165
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,576
Dr. Splichal examined
a potential juvenile print
166
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,536
found near the possible big foot nests
167
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,036
the team discovered.
168
00:08:33,060 --> 00:08:35,076
The fact that they're very well-defined
169
00:08:35,100 --> 00:08:36,976
makes me think that there's more
170
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,136
of an effortlessness in the movement.
171
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,876
And that's something that could suggest
172
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:44,876
that it was a younger
animal that made that imprint.
173
00:08:44,900 --> 00:08:46,836
Fascinating.
174
00:08:46,860 --> 00:08:49,236
I was only able to send her 3D scans,
175
00:08:49,260 --> 00:08:51,236
but just by looking at this thing,
176
00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:54,136
she'll be able to tell if it
could have possibly come
177
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,200
from an upright-walking creature.
178
00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,736
Hey, Dr. Emily. How are you?
179
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:00,906
I'm doing amazing.
180
00:09:00,930 --> 00:09:02,736
Were you able to get
those files I sent you?
181
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:03,637
I did, I did.
182
00:09:03,661 --> 00:09:05,400
I'll pull them up right now.
183
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:07,376
When I looked at the 3D scan,
184
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,936
there is a lot that you can tell
185
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:11,736
- just from an imprint.
- Man.
186
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,976
You could still see the toe articulation,
187
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,936
the shape on the inside
188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,376
and the outside of the imprint,
189
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,236
which is essentially indicating
190
00:09:21,260 --> 00:09:24,176
that there are these arches,
191
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,536
so that shape is called a plantigrade foot.
192
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,436
Which is very homo sapien-like.
193
00:09:29,460 --> 00:09:31,376
That is incredible!
194
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,836
But, Dr. Emily, could
you sort of explain to me
195
00:09:33,860 --> 00:09:37,976
the relationship between
that arch and the physiology
196
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,976
of whatever made that footprint?
197
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,836
What the arches would
indicate in a footprint
198
00:09:42,860 --> 00:09:46,336
is the way that the
individual would be moving.
199
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,176
- Wow.
- Along the inside of the foot,
200
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,776
we have what's called a medial arch
201
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,336
or the inside arch,
202
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,036
and then you have a
similar one on the outside.
203
00:09:55,060 --> 00:09:57,076
And those arches
204
00:09:57,100 --> 00:10:00,076
allow the foot to create
what's called a lever.
205
00:10:00,100 --> 00:10:02,676
And a lever position of the foot,
206
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:05,076
if you imagine doing, like, a calf raise
207
00:10:05,100 --> 00:10:06,736
and you lift your heels up,
208
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,636
that's one of the most important changes
209
00:10:08,660 --> 00:10:11,136
of a human gait pattern,
210
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,276
is that we have forward propulsion
211
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:14,376
through this lever.
212
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,036
Is that something
characteristic solely of humans?
213
00:10:18,060 --> 00:10:21,136
It is, so it's very
characteristic of bipedal gait,
214
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,076
and there's a lot of theory around
215
00:10:23,100 --> 00:10:25,736
the evolution of the human brain,
216
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,536
being large and advanced
with the neocortex,
217
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:31,976
correlating with a bipedal gait.
218
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,236
Incredible.
219
00:10:33,260 --> 00:10:35,976
I had no idea there was a correlation
220
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,736
between bipedal movement
221
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,876
and the highly evolved
brains that we have as humans.
222
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:43,976
But if you think about it,
it makes perfect sense.
223
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,236
I've always believed big
foot to be more intelligent
224
00:10:46,260 --> 00:10:47,576
than the other primates,
225
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,736
and its ability to walk upright
226
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,876
may just be the reason why.
227
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:53,736
You know, it's funny that
you talk about movement,
228
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,236
because we actually captured something
229
00:10:56,260 --> 00:10:58,700
moving through our base
camp on our lidar array.
230
00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:01,900
What's that?
231
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:03,806
Something's coming.
232
00:11:03,830 --> 00:11:05,436
- Something's moving towards us.
- Something's coming.
233
00:11:05,460 --> 00:11:06,630
Zoom in.
234
00:11:09,500 --> 00:11:10,736
Do you see it?
235
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,136
It just ran away.
236
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,036
Just by looking at this movement,
237
00:11:15,060 --> 00:11:16,736
is there any way we
can make a correlation
238
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,676
between what left those footprints
239
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:22,736
and what this thing is?
240
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,800
Yep, I definitely see some
movement on that upper left.
241
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:31,036
And if you don't mind
playing that back again?
242
00:11:31,060 --> 00:11:32,060
Sure.
243
00:11:33,660 --> 00:11:35,300
Okay, yeah.
244
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,136
If you don't mind
playing that back again?
245
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:51,576
Sure.
246
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,536
- With the help of forensic
podiatrist Dr. - Emily splichal,
247
00:11:54,560 --> 00:11:58,136
expedition leader Bryce
Johnson is attempting to determine
248
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,336
if the team's lidar cameras
recorded a big foot.
249
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:02,936
My god.
250
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,476
Although it was a
little bit hard to discern,
251
00:12:05,500 --> 00:12:08,976
I'm seeing what looks
like arms swinging.
252
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,376
That drives the pelvis
to rotate in a certain way,
253
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,336
very unique to bipedal
upright standing movements.
254
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,177
Wow!
255
00:12:17,201 --> 00:12:19,336
So, do you think that those footprints
256
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,336
that we sent you could correlate
257
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,236
to whatever creature seems to be
walking through this base camp here?
258
00:12:25,260 --> 00:12:26,636
So, upright stance,
259
00:12:26,660 --> 00:12:28,676
walking on two feet, arms swing
260
00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:31,976
correlates with a foot that can support
261
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:33,336
that structure and that movement.
262
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,436
So, seeing the consistency
263
00:12:35,460 --> 00:12:37,436
between what was sent
to me on the 3D scan
264
00:12:37,460 --> 00:12:40,636
and with the movement
that we're observing,
265
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:44,176
I would believe them to be a similar being
266
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,836
that made them.
267
00:12:45,860 --> 00:12:47,536
Wow! It's incredible.
268
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:49,236
And thank you so much, Dr. Emily.
269
00:12:49,260 --> 00:12:50,730
Always a pleasure.
270
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:58,736
These old logging
roads give me a chance
271
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,000
to cover some distance pretty fast.
272
00:13:02,100 --> 00:13:03,876
Back inside of the target zone,
273
00:13:03,900 --> 00:13:06,236
Russell is employing a new tactic.
274
00:13:06,260 --> 00:13:07,836
By utilizing an old cabin
275
00:13:07,860 --> 00:13:10,236
as a temporary base of operations,
276
00:13:10,260 --> 00:13:12,536
he is able to cover
more ground in pursuit
277
00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,436
of a mysterious thermal signature
278
00:13:14,460 --> 00:13:15,976
he saw the night before.
279
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,736
Yeah, there's a lot of game through here.
280
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:19,430
Here, we got elk tracks.
281
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:21,976
Good news is, where there's game,
282
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:22,907
that means there's food.
283
00:13:22,931 --> 00:13:25,876
Finding this old logging road is great.
284
00:13:25,900 --> 00:13:27,976
I've been able to cover a ton of ground.
285
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,376
Whatever that thermal was,
286
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:30,936
it's got a pretty good head start on me.
287
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,536
But I think I can stay on the trail
288
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:34,776
and make up some ground if I hustle.
289
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,236
You know, this wouldn't be a bad place
290
00:13:36,260 --> 00:13:38,736
to set up the parabolic at night.
291
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,336
Look at all this vast region
we can at least listen to.
292
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,576
But with the thermal, we'll be
able to see a lot of this stuff, too.
293
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,676
There's a couple open
fields down here below.
294
00:13:47,700 --> 00:13:48,189
The...
295
00:13:48,213 --> 00:13:51,676
The thermal and the
parabolic will let me see things
296
00:13:51,700 --> 00:13:54,236
at night that I probably
wouldn't even see in the daytime.
297
00:13:54,260 --> 00:13:55,976
Having this vantage point is perfect.
298
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,900
I can monitor this entire
valley from right here.
299
00:13:59,860 --> 00:14:01,700
All right, let's stay on course.
300
00:14:07,660 --> 00:14:08,900
Wow.
301
00:14:09,860 --> 00:14:11,576
Holy crap!
302
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,536
It looks worse than
the daylight, doesn't it?
303
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:14,830
Yeah, it really does.
304
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,436
4.5 miles from Russell's position,
305
00:14:18,460 --> 00:14:20,076
mireya and biko have packed up
306
00:14:20,100 --> 00:14:21,276
the temporary camp they made
307
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:24,276
near the dilapidated bridge
they discovered last night.
308
00:14:24,300 --> 00:14:26,836
They are determined
to find a way across
309
00:14:26,860 --> 00:14:28,476
after hearing strange noises
310
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,836
on the other side of the river.
311
00:14:30,860 --> 00:14:34,030
I mean, you can see where
entire pieces have gone down.
312
00:14:35,260 --> 00:14:36,976
Yeah. I mean, some of those look like
313
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,500
with the littlest bit of weight,
we'll just crash through.
314
00:14:41,660 --> 00:14:44,676
So, look like there's a
decent way down over there?
315
00:14:44,700 --> 00:14:46,930
I mean, this side looks pretty nasty.
316
00:14:47,900 --> 00:14:49,136
I've got a rope in my bag
317
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:50,636
if you wanna try and tie it off,
318
00:14:50,660 --> 00:14:52,736
so we have a little extra security
319
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,236
to hold onto on the way down.
320
00:14:54,260 --> 00:14:56,676
I think tying off the rope
is a really good idea.
321
00:14:56,700 --> 00:14:58,036
- Let's do that.
- Okay.
322
00:14:58,060 --> 00:14:59,236
It's really amazing to me
323
00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:02,076
how the sounds that we were hearing
324
00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:04,430
carry through the valleys here so well.
325
00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:06,077
And seeing how steep
326
00:15:06,101 --> 00:15:08,036
the terrain is on both sides of the river,
327
00:15:08,060 --> 00:15:11,176
I'm not really surprised that
we could hear what sounded like
328
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,076
an animal conversation coming
from across the river there.
329
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:15,976
I'm still not sure what we heard
330
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,576
last night, but it wasn't anything
331
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,076
that I've heard before in these woods.
332
00:15:21,100 --> 00:15:22,900
Really steep incline down here.
333
00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:27,100
All right, I'm off the rope.
334
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,700
I mean, that's very loose.
335
00:15:30,060 --> 00:15:31,500
Crap.
336
00:15:34,860 --> 00:15:36,360
Made it down.
337
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,436
The sounds were definitely
coming from over there.
338
00:15:42,460 --> 00:15:44,736
We definitely can't get up that.
339
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,230
It's too sheer.
340
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,836
What do you think?
341
00:15:47,860 --> 00:15:51,336
What we could do is we can
actually use the waterway.
342
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,936
When I say use the waterway,
343
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,076
I mean literally get in it
and let it take us around
344
00:15:57,100 --> 00:16:00,136
till we find an area that
we can start hiking in.
345
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,936
So, the plan is for biko
and I to get into the water
346
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,836
and use the river itself.
347
00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:06,336
We have dry bags in our backpacks
348
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:08,476
that we can use to keep all our gear dry
349
00:16:08,500 --> 00:16:11,336
and, simultaneously, use
these as flotation devices
350
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,436
to help us navigate through the river.
351
00:16:13,460 --> 00:16:15,230
All right, let's do this.
352
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,030
A little overcast, not bad.
353
00:16:24,260 --> 00:16:26,836
Four miles from mireya
and biko's position,
354
00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:28,876
Russell has returned to his cabin
355
00:16:28,900 --> 00:16:31,376
in order to retrieve his
parabolic microphone
356
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,976
and thermal camera before
he makes his way back
357
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
to the vantage point
for tonight's stakeout.
358
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,336
I know that's not us
moving through here.
359
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,836
It's been over 10 hours since I set up
360
00:16:49,860 --> 00:16:51,776
that perimeter around this cabin.
361
00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,936
And since then, there's been clear signs
362
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,136
that something is
moving through this area,
363
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,836
which means that we'll
have that on camera.
364
00:16:58,860 --> 00:17:01,730
It went right around those cameras.
365
00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:04,930
Look at this, but they went that way.
366
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,600
They went around. Look at this.
367
00:17:08,360 --> 00:17:11,136
But they walked around
right through the ferns.
368
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,300
When I start checking my
cameras, there's a problem.
369
00:17:14,100 --> 00:17:16,136
There's nothing on any of them.
370
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,536
That tells me that whatever's
coming through here
371
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,976
knew where the cameras were
and was avoiding those areas.
372
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,336
They walked all the
way around my cameras.
373
00:17:24,360 --> 00:17:27,436
So, I'm thinking, "are
they hearing these things?"
374
00:17:27,460 --> 00:17:28,900
Do they smell the camera?
375
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:31,300
"Or is there something else?"
376
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:33,930
I think I got an idea.
377
00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:36,836
These things have an ir light.
378
00:17:36,860 --> 00:17:37,777
We can't see it.
379
00:17:37,801 --> 00:17:40,700
What if they can see the ir light on this?
380
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,336
Infrared or ir light is a type
381
00:17:44,360 --> 00:17:46,636
of light wave outside
the visible spectrum,
382
00:17:46,660 --> 00:17:48,836
making it invisible to the human eye.
383
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:52,036
Ir cameras, like military
night vision goggles
384
00:17:52,060 --> 00:17:53,876
or home security systems,
385
00:17:53,900 --> 00:17:57,476
use ir light to illuminate
areas that appear pitch black.
386
00:17:57,500 --> 00:18:00,836
Some animals, such as pit
vipers and certain insects,
387
00:18:00,860 --> 00:18:05,036
can sense ir, enabling them
to track warm-blooded prey.
388
00:18:05,060 --> 00:18:09,700
And many big foot researchers
believe sasquatch can detect ir light.
389
00:18:11,860 --> 00:18:13,736
We gotta figure a way to cover that ir.
390
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:15,936
I've got an idea that might work.
391
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,136
All right, turn around, let me
get these in your backpack.
392
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:22,436
Something came through here
and avoided all my trail cams.
393
00:18:22,460 --> 00:18:24,876
There's only one thing
out here that I can think of
394
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:26,630
that's smart enough to do that.
395
00:18:27,460 --> 00:18:28,636
It's time to turn the tables.
396
00:18:28,660 --> 00:18:30,000
Game on.
397
00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:39,600
- That's cold.
- That is cold.
398
00:18:40,860 --> 00:18:43,236
3.5 miles from Russell's position,
399
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:45,976
mireya and biko have
devised a bold strategy
400
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,236
to cross the river
401
00:18:47,260 --> 00:18:49,236
in order to continue their pursuit
402
00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:52,000
of what sounded like
multiple predators hunting.
403
00:18:52,660 --> 00:18:54,000
All right, biko.
404
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:56,276
Let's go.
405
00:18:56,300 --> 00:18:59,076
I got no idea where
this river is leading to.
406
00:18:59,100 --> 00:19:00,976
I don't know what kind of rapids
407
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,336
are gonna be down the river.
408
00:19:02,360 --> 00:19:04,036
But it's really the only choice
409
00:19:04,060 --> 00:19:06,830
we've got at this point
to get on that other side.
410
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,836
In order to safely reach
411
00:19:12,860 --> 00:19:14,636
the other side of the steep ravine
412
00:19:14,660 --> 00:19:15,676
and continue tracking the sound
413
00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:16,836
they heard the night before,
414
00:19:16,860 --> 00:19:19,576
mireya and biko will travel downriver
415
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,476
in hopes of finding a portion of the river
416
00:19:21,500 --> 00:19:25,076
that isn't surrounded by
impassable sheer cliffs.
417
00:19:25,100 --> 00:19:27,136
Once they find a
flatter portion of the river
418
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,436
that allows them to
cross to the other side,
419
00:19:29,460 --> 00:19:31,836
they will double back on
the West Side of the river,
420
00:19:31,860 --> 00:19:34,136
making their way back
to the bridge in the area
421
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,330
where they heard the strange noises.
422
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,436
You good?
423
00:19:39,460 --> 00:19:41,976
I think we should keep
looking for another spot.
424
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,636
- This still looks pretty steep, man.
- -Yeah.
425
00:19:44,660 --> 00:19:47,336
There's gotta be a better way in there.
426
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,136
When you're walking through the forest,
427
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,776
you are somewhat in
control of where you're going.
428
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,336
You don't have that ability in the water.
429
00:19:55,360 --> 00:19:57,636
The river is in complete control.
430
00:19:57,660 --> 00:20:00,436
We have no idea what's
coming around the bend.
431
00:20:00,460 --> 00:20:02,836
Seems like the current's
picking up a little bit.
432
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:04,300
Careful.
433
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:26,230
There's a rock!
434
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:37,900
Let's keep going.
435
00:20:42,460 --> 00:20:44,236
There might be a flat area up there.
436
00:20:44,260 --> 00:20:46,436
We can stop for a minute.
437
00:20:46,460 --> 00:20:48,676
There were areas in that
river where the current
438
00:20:48,700 --> 00:20:51,436
was going full speed
and just pounding us.
439
00:20:51,460 --> 00:20:54,736
And then suddenly we
see this piece of land
440
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:57,736
where we could get out of the water
441
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,476
and walk into the forest
because it wasn't sheer cliff.
442
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:03,476
It seems like there might
be some trails up now
443
00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:06,276
that we're out of that steep canyon area.
444
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:09,336
But before we do that, let's
make a fire and just dry off.
445
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:10,237
That sounds good.
446
00:21:10,261 --> 00:21:12,976
I'm gonna grab rocks to make a fire ring.
447
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,100
All right. I'll go find some firewood.
448
00:21:16,260 --> 00:21:20,036
As a hunter, you always want to
be one step ahead of your prey.
449
00:21:20,060 --> 00:21:21,636
And there's no doubt in my mind
450
00:21:21,660 --> 00:21:23,736
that whatever we were
dealing with last night
451
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,536
was not expecting us to float downriver,
452
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:29,576
cross the stream and
get up that other side.
453
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:34,176
After we dry off, we're gonna double back
to the bridge where we were last night,
454
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,730
and I believe we have
the element of surprise.
455
00:21:39,260 --> 00:21:40,730
It feels great.
456
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:47,830
It's gonna take a minute,
but let's get this stuff set up.
457
00:21:50,100 --> 00:21:51,776
Four point five miles away
458
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:53,636
from mireya and biko's position,
459
00:21:53,660 --> 00:21:57,536
Russell believes a creature is
intentionally avoiding his trail cameras
460
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,536
because it can detect the
infrared lights they emit.
461
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:03,600
To outsmart it, Russell
has devised a plan.
462
00:22:04,860 --> 00:22:07,676
One slightly that way,
one slightly this way.
463
00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:10,536
Nothing can get through
here without being seen.
464
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,300
Okay, I won't turn that on yet.
465
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,836
These things were avoided on purpose,
466
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:23,336
and my theory is, what
if they can see ir light?
467
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:25,076
I want nothing in the way.
468
00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:29,076
So I want to build something
that will mask those ir lights.
469
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:31,336
I want to have the camera set up
470
00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,136
and put something in front of them
471
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,676
that they can't see that ir light.
472
00:22:34,700 --> 00:22:37,976
And I'm going to cover each of those
trail cameras around this perimeter.
473
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,730
If I hang these here
and cover those cameras,
474
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:44,436
there's no ir light to be seen.
475
00:22:44,460 --> 00:22:46,836
But the problem is, how am I going to get
476
00:22:46,860 --> 00:22:51,136
any kind of picture of something
moving if they don't see the motion?
477
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,736
So I have to get creative.
478
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,230
So if something allows
these things to drop
479
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,436
that exposes that...
Anything moving out this way.
480
00:23:00,460 --> 00:23:01,776
You get seen.
481
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,576
The plan I've put together
is set up a trip wire,
482
00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:08,236
a basic standard trip wire
that if you pull the wire,
483
00:23:08,260 --> 00:23:13,076
it makes something heavy drop
and unmask these trail cams.
484
00:23:13,100 --> 00:23:14,500
Go underneath this.
485
00:23:16,500 --> 00:23:17,700
Voila.
486
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,530
Okay, if you look right here,
487
00:23:26,360 --> 00:23:28,436
the face of this trail cam is covered.
488
00:23:28,460 --> 00:23:31,700
There's a visible ir
light that's covering it.
489
00:23:32,460 --> 00:23:33,936
Same with this side over here.
490
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:35,230
What happens
491
00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:38,536
is this tripwire pulls the bottom of this.
492
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,736
This log will come down,
which pulls this down,
493
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,030
which triggers that,
both of them will drop.
494
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:50,336
Works every time.
495
00:23:50,360 --> 00:23:53,136
Now that this is set up, I'm
gonna head to the high ground
496
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,736
above this whole area
and set up my parabolic mic.
497
00:23:55,760 --> 00:24:00,676
But tonight, anything walking to
or from this area will hit that wire.
498
00:24:00,700 --> 00:24:03,336
The log drops, we'll get pictures.
499
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,330
All right? Moving on to the next one.
500
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,976
Man, it's pretty late. I've
just been driving all night.
501
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,676
Just outside of the target zone,
502
00:24:20,700 --> 00:24:23,476
Bryce is en route to a witness
who has been experiencing
503
00:24:23,500 --> 00:24:26,236
unexplained events at
his remote residence.
504
00:24:26,260 --> 00:24:29,436
He believes these incidents
are connected to big foot.
505
00:24:29,460 --> 00:24:32,736
After finding that handprint on
the command center last night,
506
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:38,536
I just keep thinking about how brazen
these big foot in Washington seem to be.
507
00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,976
Are they just curious or is
something else going on?
508
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,776
That's why I'm excited to speak with Matt
509
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,976
because he's been having a
lot of activity on his property.
510
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,676
But not only that, working as a
corrections officer for decades,
511
00:24:53,700 --> 00:24:55,736
he has been trained as an observer
512
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:59,476
and has an awareness that
a lot of us just don't have.
513
00:24:59,500 --> 00:25:01,236
- Thank you for coming.
- Yeah.
514
00:25:01,260 --> 00:25:06,136
Sounds like you're having
some unwelcome visitations.
515
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,536
Well, me and my family,
we're from east Texas,
516
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:14,136
and four months back, we moved
in and stuff started to happen here.
517
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,236
How long ago after you bought
this place did stuff start happening?
518
00:25:18,260 --> 00:25:19,500
Almost immediately.
519
00:25:20,100 --> 00:25:21,476
Put up a couple of flood lights
520
00:25:21,500 --> 00:25:25,276
and, the flood lights between
12:00 and 1:00 would always go off,
521
00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:28,636
and we'd get this kind of
strong, overpowering smell.
522
00:25:28,660 --> 00:25:32,130
Wet dog kind of must...
Just a must like wet animal.
523
00:25:33,460 --> 00:25:36,736
And it came out one morning
and I noticed that I had
524
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,536
these giant footprints in the grass,
525
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,436
about 17 inches in length.
526
00:25:41,460 --> 00:25:44,000
The thought of sasquatch or big foot was
527
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:47,230
starting to enter our mind.
528
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,876
So I put up cameras.
529
00:25:50,900 --> 00:25:53,936
Shortly after that, the most
scariest thing that happened
530
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,430
involved my daughter.
531
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,876
I came into the kitchen to
get a glass of water one night.
532
00:25:59,900 --> 00:26:02,436
And then my daughter comes
running out of the bedroom.
533
00:26:02,460 --> 00:26:05,276
And she goes, "I know
you're trying to sneak on me."
534
00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:07,076
And I said, "what?"
535
00:26:07,100 --> 00:26:09,576
She said, "you're right
outside the bedroom window."
536
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,576
So your daughter thinks that you're like
537
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,136
playing a joke on her, trying to scare her.
538
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,376
- But you're like, "not me."
- Yeah.
539
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,576
So I came over here into this room.
540
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,436
This house was a
real fixer-upper project.
541
00:26:21,460 --> 00:26:23,736
The bedroom window
was actually busted out.
542
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,776
So, we had a piece of
cardboard up over the window.
543
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,236
The cardboard was being
pressed inward into the house,
544
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:37,436
and so I'm just standing
there watching this take place.
545
00:26:37,460 --> 00:26:40,236
It's almost like something's
standing right outside.
546
00:26:40,260 --> 00:26:42,536
But whatever it is, it's got to be massive
547
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,472
because it's blocking the
whole window whole window.
548
00:26:44,496 --> 00:26:45,536
Taking up the whole window.
549
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,136
The whole thing just moved
and went back to black.
550
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,236
Whatever was standing
there was watching her.
551
00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:56,300
I'm a father, too. It's one thing
for me to sort of experience
552
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:57,637
something strange,
553
00:26:57,661 --> 00:26:59,836
but when it starts to involve my family,
554
00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:02,236
- then it... it gets personal.
- Right.
555
00:27:02,260 --> 00:27:03,636
It definitely does.
556
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:06,036
And, I look at the cameras,
557
00:27:06,060 --> 00:27:10,436
and when I did, we
caught something on film.
558
00:27:10,460 --> 00:27:12,076
Matt, do you have that video?
559
00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:15,000
- I do have that video. Yeah.
- I'd love to see it.
560
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:17,836
Okay, I see movement.
561
00:27:17,860 --> 00:27:20,000
Hard to make out what it is.
562
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,900
You can see something
starting to come around.
563
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:35,900
What is that?
564
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,800
What is that?
565
00:27:51,100 --> 00:27:52,936
- Right there.
- Right there.
566
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:54,300
Dude, I just got chills, man.
567
00:27:54,900 --> 00:27:56,536
And a hand right there.
568
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:57,976
Dude.
569
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,436
Dude, I can see it clearly.
570
00:28:00,460 --> 00:28:02,176
That's like this mass moving around.
571
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,376
I keep seeing that face sort
of peer around the corner.
572
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,376
I'm kind of speechless, man.
573
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,530
I can see why you're, concerned.
574
00:28:09,860 --> 00:28:11,300
Where was this?
575
00:28:11,900 --> 00:28:15,036
This was taken just right here.
576
00:28:15,060 --> 00:28:18,436
- Can we see where... Where this is?
- Sure, yeah.
577
00:28:18,460 --> 00:28:22,236
To me, that video confirms
that these last few months,
578
00:28:22,260 --> 00:28:25,976
Matt and his family have
been terrorized by a big foot.
579
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,036
I mean, typically, you hear stories
about big foot avoiding people,
580
00:28:30,060 --> 00:28:32,136
but it sounds like here in Washington,
581
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,836
people like Matt, myself and my team,
582
00:28:34,860 --> 00:28:36,736
are experiencing similar behaviors
583
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:40,376
where big foot is intentionally
approaching structures or spaces
584
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:41,876
that humans are using.
585
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:45,376
Are these sasquatches just curious,
586
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,176
or are these those rogue
sasquatches that I keep hearing about?
587
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:52,076
And are they viewing us as a threat?
588
00:28:52,100 --> 00:28:54,676
You have these travelers, loners.
589
00:28:54,700 --> 00:28:56,476
They're those sasquatches
that we call rogues.
590
00:28:56,500 --> 00:28:59,336
These rogues, they don't settle
down. They don't find mates.
591
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,330
They were settled down,
and then something snaps.
592
00:29:02,900 --> 00:29:04,836
Like I say, fear the rogue.
593
00:29:04,860 --> 00:29:07,776
I put the camera, positioned it
right here where this plant is now.
594
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:11,300
- Right.
- And it was facing right down here.
595
00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:15,136
What's crazy is, like, so from that video,
596
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,976
the thing, the face comes
out like, right, like hereish.
597
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,576
Yeah, it does.
598
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,136
And, if you look in the video,
599
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:26,536
you can see that the knees
are slightly bent it looks like.
600
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:29,976
And this roof is nine foot off the ground.
601
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,676
So whatever it is is probably
closer to 10 foot in height.
602
00:29:34,700 --> 00:29:36,736
- That's disturbing.
- Yeah.
603
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,076
Just being here with
my back to the forest,
604
00:29:40,100 --> 00:29:42,830
I can tell you we don't
come out after dark.
605
00:29:47,100 --> 00:29:49,230
This looks like a pretty good spot.
606
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:51,030
Right here.
607
00:29:53,460 --> 00:29:55,376
After drying their clothes by a fire,
608
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:59,036
- mireya and biko have backtracked 1.
- 2 miles up the river
609
00:29:59,060 --> 00:30:00,976
on the opposite side
of the downed bridge,
610
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,036
where they set up a temporary
camp the night before.
611
00:30:04,060 --> 00:30:07,336
Now they are on the same side
of the river as the strange noises,
612
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,130
which sounded like a
possible big foot hunting party.
613
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,130
Biko and I are out here just
basically trying to stake out this area.
614
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:22,376
Last night we heard a sound that
was coming from across the river.
615
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,976
Now that we're here, we're
trying to pick back up on that trace
616
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,300
and look for whatever made that sound.
617
00:30:29,100 --> 00:30:31,736
We thought this could be an ideal place
618
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:35,236
to really see if anything
is moving through here.
619
00:30:35,260 --> 00:30:39,230
We'd be able to see it on the
thermal and biko's night vision.
620
00:30:41,060 --> 00:30:45,530
To me, the noises we were hearing
sounded like a big hunting party.
621
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,336
Biko, did you hear that?
622
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,236
There was all these
aggressive vocalizations,
623
00:30:55,260 --> 00:30:57,736
and then all of a sudden,
624
00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,376
there was this loud
blood-curdling scream
625
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,100
like a prey animal just got killed.
626
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,236
I don't know what's out
here making all these sounds,
627
00:31:09,260 --> 00:31:12,127
but it feels like in my gut there's some
628
00:31:12,151 --> 00:31:15,476
unknown predator
hunting out here in the pack.
629
00:31:15,500 --> 00:31:17,700
I don't see anything on the night vision.
630
00:31:19,260 --> 00:31:21,330
I'm not getting anything
on the thermal, either.
631
00:31:23,100 --> 00:31:24,300
Listen.
632
00:31:24,860 --> 00:31:26,100
What was that?
633
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:37,530
That is really strange.
634
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,230
That did not sound like
any bobcat I've ever heard.
635
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:47,376
That was the same sound we
heard the other night, though.
636
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,076
Whatever we just heard was
the same thing we heard last night.
637
00:31:51,100 --> 00:31:54,200
The only difference is now we're
both on the same side of the river.
638
00:31:58,660 --> 00:31:59,830
Okay.
639
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,536
It's a calm night.
640
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,536
A little bit of clouds,
but pretty much clear.
641
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,076
So if it's clear it'll
be getting more light.
642
00:32:09,100 --> 00:32:11,336
That will bring the
animals out to start feeding.
643
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,176
Five miles away from mireya and biko,
644
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,536
Russell has returned to the
vantage point he discovered earlier,
645
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,676
determined to pinpoint
the current location
646
00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:21,576
of the creature he's been pursuing.
647
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,476
Using his parabolic
microphone from this position
648
00:32:24,500 --> 00:32:28,336
will allow Russell to track
anything moving through this area.
649
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:29,830
The cabin's out that way.
650
00:32:31,300 --> 00:32:33,136
We've got the parabolic setup.
651
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,000
I'm gonna turn on the thermal.
652
00:32:35,900 --> 00:32:37,976
We'll start scanning.
653
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000
I feel like whatever I've been
tracking is sort of toying with me.
654
00:32:42,860 --> 00:32:45,876
But at this point, I'm
now one step ahead of it
655
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:47,676
because I've set up trail cams.
656
00:32:47,700 --> 00:32:52,276
And here, with my parabolic
mic and my thermals,
657
00:32:52,300 --> 00:32:53,800
I have that tactical advantage.
658
00:33:01,300 --> 00:33:04,076
I've been doing this for a lot of years.
659
00:33:04,100 --> 00:33:09,000
And so far in Washington, I've heard some
strange sounds I've never heard in my life.
660
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,630
Not seen anything yet.
661
00:33:25,060 --> 00:33:26,900
There's something moving out there.
662
00:33:36,860 --> 00:33:38,030
I can hear it.
663
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,030
There's something out there moving.
664
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,000
Look at that. Hey. Hey.
665
00:34:04,100 --> 00:34:05,300
Watch.
666
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,800
Are you hearing that?
667
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:52,460
Listen.
668
00:35:01,460 --> 00:35:03,030
Holy crap.
669
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,136
I've spent three decades in
search of elusive and rare animals,
670
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:14,136
and when I set out to a destination,
671
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,236
I've really always relied
on the local knowledge
672
00:35:17,260 --> 00:35:19,536
on a particular expedition in Venezuela,
673
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,876
I was going village to village
674
00:35:21,900 --> 00:35:25,736
and asking, "where was the
last time you've seen this uakari",
675
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,736
this monkey that we're in search of?
676
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,436
I went to the first village.
677
00:35:29,460 --> 00:35:31,876
They had seen it some months before.
678
00:35:31,900 --> 00:35:33,536
Then the next one, some weeks before.
679
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:37,536
And finally got to that one
village that had seen it that day.
680
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,136
So when you're planning an expedition,
681
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,436
it's not really until you
go boots on the ground
682
00:35:42,460 --> 00:35:46,030
that you really hone
in on that target zone.
683
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:54,976
Holy crap.
684
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,736
There's something out there.
685
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,176
I can't believe what I'm hearing.
686
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,636
I'm hearing those same clicking
sounds I've heard several days ago.
687
00:36:01,660 --> 00:36:05,136
It's a very unnatural sound
that I've never heard before.
688
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,480
I believe this thing is
communicating with something else.
689
00:36:08,260 --> 00:36:09,430
Where are you?
690
00:36:29,260 --> 00:36:30,500
Right out in that direction.
691
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:33,300
I heard it.
692
00:36:38,460 --> 00:36:40,800
No, you've got to be kidding me.
693
00:36:41,700 --> 00:36:43,500
Suddenly, the clicking stopped,
694
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,576
and I can still hear
movement down below me.
695
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:50,376
And I don't know how
far it is away from me.
696
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:53,136
But at this distance, any
variation or movement
697
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:55,936
from that parabolic
mic to the left or right,
698
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,300
I'll lose that sound altogether.
699
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:00,530
It's going away.
700
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:03,476
I can hear it. It's going away.
701
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:06,630
It was headed straight for
where we set up the trail cams.
702
00:37:12,900 --> 00:37:15,176
Let's pack up our gear.
We're going that way.
703
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,536
We've been out here all night, and
we're about an hour from sunrise.
704
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,936
But I know exactly
where this thing is headed.
705
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,600
It is headed right into my trap.
706
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,300
I heard that thing moving
away from us, those trail cams.
707
00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:38,376
There's definitely been
animals coming through here.
708
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,836
The way this is matted down.
709
00:37:40,860 --> 00:37:44,136
While Russell pursues the source
behind the unexplained sound,
710
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:44,384
5.
711
00:37:44,408 --> 00:37:47,636
5 miles away, mireya
and biko are hot on the trail
712
00:37:47,660 --> 00:37:51,536
of what could possibly
be a big foot hunting party.
713
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:55,136
I think we're getting close to
where that sound was coming from.
714
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,700
As we were weaving our
way through the woods...
715
00:37:59,300 --> 00:38:00,137
Look at this.
716
00:38:00,161 --> 00:38:02,300
Something caught mireya's eye.
717
00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:15,500
This is what got my attention.
718
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:18,636
What the is this?
719
00:38:18,660 --> 00:38:20,030
Look at this.
720
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:24,036
- Those are roots. Yeah.
- Sticking up like that.
721
00:38:24,060 --> 00:38:26,836
- That is weird.
- Like an upside down tree.
722
00:38:26,860 --> 00:38:28,736
Definitely not natural.
723
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:31,636
The way these things were
leaned up against the tree,
724
00:38:31,660 --> 00:38:34,976
it was obvious that something
had manipulated them.
725
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,876
I don't see any cut marks from tools.
726
00:38:37,900 --> 00:38:41,476
We're looking for tool
marks, saw marks, cut marks.
727
00:38:41,500 --> 00:38:42,968
We couldn't see any.
728
00:38:42,992 --> 00:38:45,976
All the branches were
snapped, broken off.
729
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,342
Do you think that is a
way of marking territory?
730
00:38:50,366 --> 00:38:51,676
I don't know.
731
00:38:51,700 --> 00:38:53,630
That's when we were in norcal.
732
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:55,776
Bryce.
733
00:38:55,800 --> 00:39:00,162
We found several of
these, all in a straight line...
734
00:39:00,186 --> 00:39:00,836
Whoa!
735
00:39:00,860 --> 00:39:05,076
And it led to a massive,
massive tree structure.
736
00:39:05,100 --> 00:39:06,930
Holy.
737
00:39:07,300 --> 00:39:08,700
I just got the chills.
738
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,176
Look.
739
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:14,636
- There. Look.
- There's a little... there.
740
00:39:14,660 --> 00:39:16,830
- There's another one.
- Yeah, it's massive.
741
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:22,500
There's a bigger structure.
742
00:39:24,900 --> 00:39:26,836
Once again, upside down.
743
00:39:26,860 --> 00:39:31,636
That one long piece
that is over 25 feet tall.
744
00:39:31,660 --> 00:39:33,836
How did that get placed there?
745
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:39,736
The fact that something hoisted a
25-foot tree trunk high into a tree...
746
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,400
Yeah, that's heavy.
747
00:39:42,100 --> 00:39:45,436
Was just adding to my suspicions
748
00:39:45,460 --> 00:39:50,136
that these things were
put here by a big foot.
749
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,600
I mean, this definitely looks
different than what we found in norcal.
750
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,500
How so? Was it
751
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,929
the fact that there's
two so close together?
752
00:40:00,953 --> 00:40:01,536
Yeah.
753
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:05,636
I mean, we can't really presume
that it means anything at all.
754
00:40:05,660 --> 00:40:10,276
But it also could be that the
same thing is being communicated
755
00:40:10,300 --> 00:40:11,836
in a different way.
756
00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:14,276
As in like a different language.
757
00:40:14,300 --> 00:40:17,436
But what we're talking
about is still hypothetical.
758
00:40:17,460 --> 00:40:21,536
Any time culture or language comes
up in regards to the animal kingdom,
759
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:25,636
you have to be really careful
not to force meaning into it
760
00:40:25,660 --> 00:40:27,876
from our understanding as humans.
761
00:40:27,900 --> 00:40:31,136
We know that animal
communication can be really complex,
762
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,236
and there's still a lot that we don't know.
763
00:40:33,260 --> 00:40:35,076
So it's important to keep an open mind.
764
00:40:35,100 --> 00:40:37,100
I wonder where these
things are leading?
765
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:39,700
Only one way to find out.
766
00:40:49,300 --> 00:40:50,800
There's another structure.
767
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:54,136
Holy.
768
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:58,230
These are definitely all lining up.
769
00:41:00,300 --> 00:41:01,500
Look at this.
770
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:03,830
Animal fur.
771
00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:07,276
There's more fur.
772
00:41:07,300 --> 00:41:10,330
There's some pieces
all attached together.
773
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,730
What the?
774
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:21,076
That is woven, tied off like you
would a shoelace or a ribbon.
775
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:23,700
That is one of the strangest
ones I've ever seen.
776
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:26,360
That's freaking creepy.
