Hello everyone and welcome to my little channel. In today's movie from 1963 and re-added to in 75 called Curse of Bigfoot, we have an hour and a half of your life that you will never get back. In this movie, I really don't think they know what a Bigfoot is or even what he should look like. Or maybe we're the one's who got it wrong. Anywho, moving on. We have in this whatever that thing is running around the orchard movie, a group of high school students, a biology teacher, a former student and heck of lot of flashbacks. I think I need a drink and I'm not talking about water. Staring in this wrapped-up tale we have...Bob Clymire as Johnny, Jan Swihart as Sharon, Bill Simonsen as Dr. Bill Wyman, Dennis Kottmeier as someone, Ruth Ann Mannella as Linda, Ken Kloepfer as Norman and Mary Brownless as I know idea. So let's make some Slow-Dancing Sasquatch Cocktails, eat some Missing Link Bigfoot Bars (both have actual recipes) and try your best to enjoy. Thanks so much for watching.

00:00:00It happened two million years ago.
00:00:24In steaming swamps and prehistoric jungles, the earliest man-like creature walked the earth, not human, more beast than man, a monster of evolution.
00:00:54It walked across the eons of time, slowly changing, becoming more and more human, more and more advanced.
00:01:16Until, in the Pleistocene, just thousands of years ago, man himself emerged.
00:01:25But the change from beast into man was not a steady one, and sometimes primitive man would find his life threatened, terrified by the appearance of a monster from the past.

00:06:52You're making enough noise to wake up the dead.
00:06:54There now, will you please finish that and go back to sleep?

00:08:06Scotty, if you're good for the rest of the night and don't awaken anyone else, I'll promise
00:08:11to take you hunting with me tomorrow.
00:08:12I'll promise to take you hunting with me tomorrow.
00:08:18And you can chase all the jackrabbits you want.
00:08:41going on.
00:08:42All right?
00:08:43Also the truth is, you'll never be there.
00:08:45Come on!
00:08:46Come on!
00:08:49We'll never be here...
00:08:50Off the edge.
00:08:55We won't be here!
00:08:58She is six!
00:09:02I'll never be .
00:09:04Andy, will you get the lights, please?
00:09:34Well, you get the idea.
00:09:53Here we have the classic example of the Hollywood monster.
00:09:57The movie studios turned out films like these by the hundreds back in the 50s and early 60s.
00:10:03Werewolves, vampires, monsters created by atomic radiation, creatures from outer space.
00:10:12They all did their part to paralyze the kids at the Saturday matinee and to give the girl an excuse to move as close as possible to the boy at the drive-in theater.
00:10:25Now, these horror films of the 50s seem corny today and just as unbelievable as the ancient sea monsters we've been studying.
00:10:34But don't get the idea that monsters are a thing of the past.
00:10:39All of you have seen recent films about the devil and demon possessions.
00:10:46Even the film about the great white shark was a monster story of sorts.
00:10:51A modern day sea monster.
00:10:54These films manage to give all of us a few genuine moments of fear.
00:11:01Yes, man has always had his monsters.
00:11:09Very real.
00:11:12And sometimes most unexplainable.
00:11:16Well, class, today we're concluding this study of the supernatural, of powers and beings outside the reality of nature.
00:11:26So I've invited a guest speaker who should be arriving in a few minutes.
00:11:30This man is a science teacher.
00:11:33As well as a widely read author.
00:11:35And a recognized authority on the phenomenon of the abominable snowman.
00:11:40Or, as this creature is known in North America, Bigfoot.
00:11:45A present day monster.
00:11:48The search for these giant, man-like creatures started with the discovery of mysterious footprints.
00:12:03Huge footprints.
00:12:05Which obviously were not made by any known form of human life.
00:12:10These initial discoveries were made mostly in the snowbound regions of the world.
00:12:14Parts of Alaska.
00:12:16Canada.
00:12:17Most often, by mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas.
00:12:44In 1951, the well-known mountaineer, Eric Stapleton, was returning from an Everest reconnaissance expedition.
00:12:53Eric was waiting out a storm at base camp number three, close to the northern age of Menlong Glacier.
00:13:01Now, this man was a professional photographer, as well as an educated scientific investigator and mountaineer.
00:13:10The giant footprints in the snow, photographed by Stapleton, were published by newspapers around the world.
00:13:18For the first time, the public came to know of the existence of a giant, man-like monster which actually exists in the Himalayas.
00:13:28A monster known as Yeti, or Bigfoot.
00:13:35Within two years, the reports of giant footprints deep within the wilderness areas of the world spread from the Himalayas into North America itself.
00:13:50In May of 1956, a man by the name of James Hunt not only discovered footprints along the muddy banks of the Fraser River near Alberta,
00:14:01but Hunt actually sighted the Bigfoot monster running into the woods.
00:14:07Unfortunately, he had no camera with him.
00:14:10And many people here in America said he was crazy, that the footprints were fake.
00:14:16But, over the next few years, reports continued throughout Canada, Washington State, Oregon, and even into California.
00:14:27It soon became apparent that Bigfoot was not just a hoax.
00:14:32Something was there, leaving giant footprints deep in the wilderness.
00:14:37Bigfoot was real.
00:15:02They had an eye!
00:15:05They had shadowed.
00:15:07They had it.
00:15:09I had innate innateázome flight.
00:15:13They were gentle barreled.
00:15:15They held so much energy in the world around the world as they was never before the world's immersion.
00:15:20Whatever it was.
00:15:21Wherever these giant creatures came from, it was obvious that they were becoming as curious about us as we were about them.
00:15:26In many logging camps throughout the Northwest, workers who recovered their life and their life,
00:15:31Workers reported sightings of huge hairy creatures watching them from the woods.
00:16:01Man was invading Bigfoot's domain, moving into the virgin forests, cutting trees, taking
00:16:26over what had always been the hiding place for these mysterious monsters.
00:16:32As modern man cut into the wilderness, Bigfoot was forced to retreat deeper into the timberland.
00:16:39And as progress forced Bigfoot out of his homeland, more and more evidence was found which proved
00:16:46beyond a doubt that there were many of these creatures here in North America.
00:16:52Our footprints were discovered, as well as strands of long black hair tangled in tree branches.
00:16:59Hair which, when examined by scientists, proved to have come from some mysterious creature
00:17:05previously unknown to man.
00:17:07For these discoveries, very few educated observers would still deny that something was really
00:17:13out there.
00:17:14There was an incredible man-like monster actually living in the North Woods.
00:17:21Just a few years ago, in the wilderness of Oregon, two employees of a large large
00:17:51lumber mill set out late one afternoon to visit a favorite fishing spot.
00:17:56As it turned out, these two men were destined to become the first unfortunate persons to encounter
00:18:03bigfoot.
00:18:04Face-to-face.
00:18:05Face-to-face.
00:18:07Face-to-face.

00:23:30Larry, where are you?
00:24:00Larry!
00:24:02Don't drive them off, John.

00:25:46Larry, where are you?
00:25:48Thomas, Shakespeare once said through Hamlet,
00:25:53there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
00:25:56than I dreamt of in your philosophy.
00:26:00Class, one of the biggest errors a man might make
00:26:04is to disbelieve what he hasn't seen.
00:26:07To think that there are not evil powers
00:26:09or fantastic creatures just because you personally
00:26:13haven't experienced them could result sometime
00:26:18in a dreadful consequence.
00:26:21Now, now, save any questions you might have
00:26:24until Mr. Mason arrives.
00:26:26He once had an incredible first-hand experience
00:26:30with Bigfoot, and I want him to tell you the story himself.
00:26:37Well, while we're waiting, let's review,
00:26:42to see if you remember the names
00:26:44of some of these ancient sea monsters.
00:26:46Anne, can you tell me about this fellow?
00:26:49Let's see.
00:26:51That's one of the dragons from the 16th century, I think.
00:26:57He was a flesh eater and supposedly grew
00:26:58to a length of about 30 feet or more.
00:27:01Good.
00:27:04Now, who can tell me about this fellow?
00:27:09That's a griffin, it's a flying bird monster.
00:27:14Back legs of a wolf, front legs of a hawk, like claws.
00:27:22And it would swoop down to catch its victim, usually young kids.
00:27:27And it would just tear them apart.
00:27:30And it would just eat everything except their shoes.
00:27:41When the griffin got you, all they'd ever find is your shoes.
00:27:44All right, Daddy, that may be true, but what I want you to tell us is just where and when
00:27:56did the legendary griffin get its start?
00:27:58Andy, it was invented in the 1400s by the Germans.
00:28:13Really?
00:28:15I wonder.
00:28:18I wonder, young man, if the ancient griffin was really invented,
00:28:23as you say, by some demented madman.
00:28:30Roger, thank you for coming today.
00:28:36I wonder if I should have come.
00:28:43I want to introduce to you a man who has spent much of his life as a teacher,
00:28:49and as a highly respected scholar.
00:28:52He's written several books on the subject of Bigfoot,
00:28:55and his actual story, experience, incredible experience,
00:29:00where the giant man-beast of America is an amazing story
00:29:05he so kindly agreed to tell us about today.
00:29:16I believe...
00:29:19I believe I owe all of you an apology,
00:29:23especially you, young man.
00:29:30Your teacher has been very kind in introducing me as a scholar.
00:29:40I'm thought by many people to be nothing more than a madman,
00:29:46or a liar, if you will.
00:29:49Fifteen years ago, in a high school much like this one,
00:30:05I was teaching science to a group of students not unlike yourselves.
00:30:12Five of those students, three boys and two girls,
00:30:18were especially fascinated with the study of archaeology.
00:30:25So I arranged a field trip.
00:30:29As a result of that field trip,
00:30:45three of those students
00:30:49will spend the rest of their lives
00:30:54in a mental institution.
00:31:05One girl
00:31:07cannot speak to this day.
00:31:12She can only stare
00:31:14straight ahead
00:31:16in shock.
00:31:18She's totally unable to communicate
00:31:24with the world
00:31:26outside her mind.
00:31:32No.
00:31:35Never doubt
00:31:36that monsters exist.
00:31:38They do.
00:31:42Right here.
00:31:43In North America today,
00:31:46there are creatures that are known
00:31:52simply as Bigfoot.
00:31:56They were known to the Indian
00:32:01over a hundred years ago,
00:32:04and they're still alive today.
00:32:07But let me start
00:32:12at the beginning of my story.
00:32:26In museums and universities
00:32:28throughout the world,
00:32:29archaeologists are learning more each day
00:32:32about prehistoric man.
00:32:34archaeologists are highly skilled,
00:32:41specialized scientists.
00:32:47They know where to look,
00:32:48what to look for,
00:32:50and occasionally,
00:32:52they make a discovery
00:32:53of tremendous importance.
00:32:55This is the story of such a discovery.
00:33:04It began a year ago.
00:33:06Not in a museum,
00:33:07but on the campus of a high school
00:33:09in the southwest.
00:33:12Five high school students
00:33:13and their teacher
00:33:14met with Dr. Bill Wyman,
00:33:16curator of the Lincoln County Museum,
00:33:19an outstanding archaeologist.
00:33:21These seven people were planning a trip
00:33:25to the small town of Ivanpah.
00:33:28Their purpose?
00:33:29To help the museum excavate
00:33:31and uncover the ruins
00:33:33of an ancient Indian campsite.
00:33:36Not one of these seven
00:33:38ever suspected
00:33:39that they would soon make a startling,
00:33:42terrifying discovery.
00:33:44The
00:34:14The End
00:34:44Grab your sleeping bags and leave them here
00:35:06Is this where we're going to sleep?
00:35:07Here you go, Joey
00:35:08Yes
00:35:09Whose house is this?
00:35:22This belongs to one of the museum association members
00:35:25No one lives here right now
00:35:27So he lets us use the place whenever we want
00:35:29All right, just come on in for a few minutes
00:35:38Yeah, look at these
00:35:41Oh
00:35:44Mr. Wyman, are these some of the things you found in your institution?
00:35:49Yes, as a matter of fact, this is one we found in Sleekythruits just last year
00:35:53You can put your sleeping bags down on the floor
00:35:58We'll straighten up tonight when we get back
00:35:59Shall we go?
00:36:08Hey
00:36:10This really looks like Indian country, doesn't it?
00:36:25Boy, I'll say
00:36:38Look at those rocks
00:36:40I'll bet you find quite a few Indian petroglyphs up in this area
00:36:44Yes, this country was literally dotted with Indian campsites at one time
00:36:48Mr. Mason, what are petroglyphs?
00:36:50Oh, well, petroglyphs are Indian rock riding
00:36:53Oh
00:36:54Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:36:55Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:36:56Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:36:57Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:36:58Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:36:59Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:00Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:01Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:02Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:03Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:04Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:05Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:06Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:07Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:08Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:09Come on with me and I'll show you some
00:37:10THE END
00:37:40Well there we are
00:37:50Boy look at those
00:37:51These technically aren't petroglyphs
00:37:54Petroglyphs are Indian writings
00:37:56That have been scratched into the rock
00:37:58These have been painted on the rock
00:38:01With berry juice stain
00:38:02We call these pictographs
00:38:04What do they say?
00:38:06Can you read them?
00:38:07We've been able to figure most of them out
00:38:09They tell of the history of a great Indian tribe
00:38:13One that lived around here
00:38:15Thousands of years ago
00:38:16There were two chiefs
00:38:19In the tribe
00:38:20Many, many braves
00:38:22They hunted the deer and the rabbit
00:38:25With bows and arrows
00:38:26And they believed that the sun
00:38:29And the rain were powerful gods
00:38:31Who were continually fighting each other
00:38:33Gee, how can you tell all that?
00:38:35We have to study these symbols a long time
00:38:38Basically though
00:38:39This is just a big primitive history book
00:38:41Say Bill, let me get a picture of that
00:38:43I wonder if you'd just point at that
00:38:45And the rest of you'd be looking at it
00:38:48I'll get it from over here
00:38:50That's a rabbit
00:38:52Bob, would you kneel down there
00:39:00And be looking at the rock
00:39:02Now that's good
00:39:08Just look at the rock
00:39:09And hold it
00:39:10Good
00:39:12Got it
00:39:14Now I guess we'd better get to work
00:39:17Right
00:39:17But where's the excavation?
00:39:19Right back this way
00:39:20Come on
00:39:23This is where we've begun excavation
00:39:51What sort of thing do you suppose we might find?
00:39:53Well, that's pretty hard to tell
00:39:55The only thing we've located so far
00:39:57Well, here, I'll show you
00:40:00These are pieces of old Indian pottery
00:40:09And these are prayer sticks
00:40:16Prayer sticks?
00:40:21At least that's what we think they are
00:40:24Prayer sticks were used by some of the ancient tribes
00:40:27As religious symbols
00:40:28They actually buried them when they're dead
00:40:30You mean we're going to dig in a graveyard?
00:40:35Well, that's possible
00:40:36Though I doubt if we'll locate any bodies
00:40:38These prayer sticks may be over a thousand years old
00:40:42Say, do you think we'll find any bones?
00:40:44With everything being this old
00:40:46It's very unlikely
00:40:47But it's still possible
00:40:48Of course, it's also possible
00:40:51We may not find the thing
00:40:52It's sure we won't find anything
00:40:53If we don't get busy
00:40:54What are we supposed to do?
00:40:56I don't know, what do we do?
00:40:57Start digging
00:40:58Thank you
00:40:58I don't know now
00:40:58It's okay
00:40:59It's okay
00:40:59How do you?
00:41:00I do?
00:41:00I do?
00:41:00Come on
00:41:00I do it
00:41:01I do it
00:41:01I do it
00:41:02I do it
00:41:02I do it
00:41:03I do it
00:41:03I do it
00:41:03I do it
00:41:03I do it
00:41:04I do it
00:41:05Say, Bill, look at this piece of pottery that Bob found.
00:41:33You just found it, Bob?
00:41:34Yeah, over there in the digging.
00:41:36That's a good pottery fragment.
00:41:38I want to take this back to the museum with us.
00:41:40Keep up the good work.
00:41:42By the way, what time is it?
00:41:4320 after 12.
00:41:45Getting a little late.
00:41:47Lunch time!
00:41:48Oh, boy.
00:41:51You boys ready for lunch?
00:41:53Boy, you said it.
00:41:54Good, I'll get it from the truck.
00:41:55I'll give you a hand.
00:41:56All right.
00:42:04Well, everybody hungry?
00:42:16You know, I finally made it.
00:42:18Yeah.
00:42:19Well, we have sandwiches here for everybody.
00:42:21Good.
00:42:22Johnny, this is yours.
00:42:23Right.
00:42:24Roger, this is yours.
00:42:26Okay.
00:42:27And here's Sharon's and Linda's.
00:42:29Oh, thank you.
00:42:30Bob?
00:42:34Well, I suppose you see now why most people don't like this part of museum work.
00:42:46You mean the food or the digging?
00:42:48The digging.
00:42:49By the way, did we find anything of value today, Mr. Wyman?
00:42:54Oh, yes.
00:42:57For instance, this rock.
00:42:59This was used to grind up seed to make flour for bread.
00:43:03Notice the worn edges on it?
00:43:09And this pottery, we'll take it back to the museum and study it more carefully.
00:43:13I think we can tell exactly how old it is.
00:43:21More prayer sticks?
00:43:22Mm-hmm.
00:43:23More prayer sticks.
00:43:24Say, Mr. Mason, what's this rock?
00:43:27Well, I don't know.
00:43:28I haven't seen anything quite like this.
00:43:30I found it over there where we were looking at those Indian photographs.
00:43:34Ask Mr. Wyman about that.
00:43:35Say, Bill, take a look at this rock that Norman found.
00:43:39Where did you find this?
00:43:40Over there where you showed us those Indian writings.
00:43:44What's wrong with me?
00:43:45Nothing's wrong.
00:43:46This might be an eolith.
00:43:47What's that?
00:43:48A very, very old tool.
00:43:50One used by ancient peoples.
00:43:51This is by far the oldest thing we've found here.
00:43:53Hmm.
00:43:54Lovely thing.
00:43:55Could you show us what?
00:43:56Sure.
00:43:57It was right over there.
00:43:58It was right over there.
00:43:59And you showed us those Indian writings.
00:44:01He showed us those Indian writings.
00:44:02What's wrong with me?
00:44:03Nothing's wrong.
00:44:04This might be an eolith.
00:44:05What's that?
00:44:06A very, very old tool.
00:44:07One used by ancient peoples.
00:44:09This is by far the oldest thing we've found here.
00:44:11Hmm.
00:44:12Lovely thing.
00:44:13Could you show us what?
00:44:14Sure.
00:44:15It was right over there.
00:44:16It's right around here somewhere.
00:44:18Just lying on top of the ground.
00:44:20I picked it up for a souvenir.
00:44:21I collect rocks.
00:44:22You've collected a good one this time.
00:44:24I don't see anything else.
00:44:26This is a tree.
00:44:27This is a tree.
00:44:29I don't see a tree.
00:44:30This is a tree.
00:44:31This is a tree.
00:44:32This is a tree.
00:44:33This is a tree.
00:44:34You've collected a tree.
00:44:35This is a tree.
00:44:36This is a tree.
00:44:37This is a tree.
00:44:38This is a tree.
00:44:39Well, I don't see anything else.
00:44:42All of this is just plain old rock.
00:44:46Well, it seems funny that it'll be lying just on top of the ground, doesn't it?
00:44:51Yes.
00:44:54Unless it fell.
00:44:55Up there.
00:44:57Maybe it fell from up there and rolled down.
00:44:59Yeah, it looks like there's a ledge up there.
00:45:01Let's go up and see.
00:45:03All right.
00:45:05We'll have to find some other place to get up, though.
00:45:07We'd never make it from here.
00:45:08I think I'll stay there.
00:45:11Me too.
00:45:13I need a climbing rope in the truck.
00:45:16I'll get it.
00:45:38I need a climbing rope.
00:45:40I'll get it.
00:45:41I need a climbing rope.
00:45:41I'll get it.
00:45:42I'll get it.
00:45:43THE END
00:46:13THE END
00:46:43THE END
00:47:13THE END
00:47:43Hello!
00:48:01Let's see.
00:48:03Are we above the spot where the rock fell?
00:48:06Over there.
00:48:13Let's look around down here.
00:48:43Let's go.
00:48:45Let's go.
00:48:47Let's go.
00:48:49Let's go.
00:48:51Let's go.
00:48:53It doesn't look as if we're going to find any of those rocks around here.
00:49:13I can't even see that small ledge from here.
00:49:17And you?
00:49:19No, uh-uh.
00:49:21Let's see.
00:49:22We were standing down there by that thick brush.
00:49:26Hey, what's this?
00:49:28It's a stone tablet of some kind.
00:49:42That's really something.
00:49:44Yeah, but what?
00:49:46Do you recognize those markings, Bill?
00:49:49No.
00:49:50No, those are strange to me.
00:49:52They look rather primitive, don't they?
00:49:54They look older than any other markings I've ever seen.
00:49:57Were they made by Indians, do you think?
00:49:59No, not these.
00:50:01These are the types of markings made by cavemen.
00:50:03Cavemen?
00:50:04Perhaps as ancient as Pithecanthropus Erectus.
00:50:06The earliest known as Pithecanthropus Erectus.
00:50:09The earliest known species of ape-man.
00:50:11God!
00:50:13Seems to be sealed along the edges here in mud.
00:50:17Yeah, I probably rocked it.
00:50:18Try digging it away over in there.
00:50:20Be careful not to hit the rock.
00:50:22How are we going to get it back to the trap?
00:50:24We're going to carry it back.
00:50:25We're going to carry it back.
00:50:26No, no.
00:50:27No, no.
00:50:28No, no.
00:50:29No, no.
00:50:30No, no.
00:50:31No, no.
00:50:32No, no.
00:50:33No, no.
00:50:34No, no.
00:50:35No, no.
00:50:36No, no.
00:50:37No, no.
00:50:38I'm curious.
00:50:39Do you think we can get it out?
00:50:41Here's the bottom edge.
00:50:42All right.
00:50:43Careful.
00:50:44Let's try lifting it now.
00:50:50Boy, I'm going to put that in there.
00:50:52I want it to stay.
00:50:53Well, this isn't ordinary mud.
00:50:55Boy, it's a clay in some spring.
00:50:58Frozen added.
00:50:59It sure is hard.
00:51:01Maybe if we use the rock hammer to fry up on it.
00:51:03All right.
00:51:04Try it.
00:51:05I'm sure you won't break it?
00:51:07No, it won't break it.
00:51:08Okay, Bob.
00:51:09Pull.
00:51:12I think it moves a little.
00:51:13Not much.
00:51:14Let's try it again.
00:51:15Maybe if we lift up on it while the boys pull.
00:51:17All right.
00:51:20I'll count to three and everyone pull.
00:51:22Ready now?
00:51:23One, two, three, four!
00:51:28What's that?
00:51:29What happened?
00:51:30What happened?
00:51:31What happened?
00:51:32Wait a minute.
00:51:33See, there's a hole down there.
00:51:36I wish we had a flashlight.
00:51:37Can you see anything?
00:51:38Well, it looks like it might be a cave.
00:51:39What are you doing?
00:51:40I'm going down inside.
00:51:41So am I.
00:51:42Me too.
00:51:43We can't all go in.
00:51:44Well, I'll stay up here.
00:51:45I'm going down inside.
00:51:46So am I.
00:51:47Me too.
00:51:48We can't all go in.
00:51:49I'll stay up here.
00:51:50Will you stay up here too, Roger?
00:51:53Well..
00:51:54Alright.
00:51:55But you be careful.
00:51:56I'm sorry.
00:52:02let's be careful about thegren had a little guy left out.
00:52:07I'm brady taking over here.
00:52:09You don't need any fans.
00:52:11Shut up.
00:52:14Excuse me.
00:52:15I don't see ya.
00:52:16Whiskey.
00:52:18All right.
00:52:41Come on down.
00:52:44I'll go first.
00:52:46Okay.
00:52:48Now get a good grip on that rope.
00:52:53Pretty solid.
00:53:18Wait for a minute now.
00:53:39Let your eyes get accustomed to the darkness.
00:53:46What kind of a cave is this?
00:53:49Natural formation?
00:53:51Probably so.
00:53:54It looks as if these cracks in the wall are sealed up.
00:53:57With what?
00:53:58What?
00:53:58Pottery.
00:53:59These are perfectly preserved.
00:54:05What's inside?
00:54:09Ashes.
00:54:10Not ashes of a person.
00:54:12Anybody cremated?
00:54:13No.
00:54:14These are wood ashes.
00:54:16Charcoal.
00:54:16We'll take these jars with us.
00:54:20Be careful not to spill any of the ashes.
00:54:22This one has writing or something on it.
00:54:26Those markings are similar to the ones on the tablet up above.
00:54:29You just can see them.
00:54:33Very cool.
00:54:34Let's go.
00:54:35Let's close.
00:54:35Let's go.
00:54:36Get in here.
00:54:37Take the door.
00:54:37We'll be right at the door.
00:54:39Let's close.
00:54:39hemen.
00:54:40Come get in here.
00:54:41Let's close.
00:54:42I'm back.
00:54:43There might be a hero.
00:54:44Let's go.
00:54:46Come get in here.
00:54:47Come get in here.
00:54:48Come get.
00:54:49Come get in now.
00:54:51Come shall you?
00:54:52Come get in here.
00:54:53Oh yeah.
00:54:54Come get in here.
00:54:55Come get out.
00:54:56Let's go.
00:54:57Come on.
00:54:58What is it?
00:55:10What did you find?
00:55:11There's a body over there.
00:55:12What?
00:55:28There's a body over there.
00:55:58It's a mummy, covered with mud.
00:56:18What a find.
00:56:20Yeah.
00:56:24How can we get it out?
00:56:26We're going to need some more.
00:56:28Ropes from the trough.
00:56:31And some boards to tie it and hold it flat.
00:56:37Let's go.
00:56:38Let's go.
00:56:38Let's go.
00:56:39Let's go.
00:56:39Let's go.
00:56:40Let's go.
00:56:41Let's go.
00:56:50Well, I'm glad that's over with it.
00:57:21Something tells me Bob doesn't think much of our new passenger.
00:57:24Well, it's the first time I've ever ridden with a mummy.
00:57:27I'll open the door to the shed. We'll leave it there tonight.
00:57:30You mean we're going to put it in there?
00:57:32You wouldn't want to leave a mummy outside, would you?
00:57:34Suppose it rains.
00:57:35Be careful bringing it in.
00:57:38I'll get this in, Tom.
00:57:39Okay, I'll get here.
00:57:41Bob, you get that corner.
00:57:43From that side.
00:57:50Okay.
00:57:55Yeah.
00:57:56Linda, would you move that box, please?
00:57:58Okay.
00:58:10Yeah.
00:58:11Linda, would you move that box, please?
00:58:13Okay.
00:58:17Hey, watch the oil, I can't.
00:58:18Straight back.
00:58:19Yeah.
00:58:20Swing it around, baby.
00:58:21Swing it around, baby.
00:58:27Can I get there?
00:58:28Watch it.
00:58:29Yeah.
00:58:30Somebody move it in the middle.
00:58:32What's that look?
00:58:33Easy.
00:58:37What do you know what it is?
00:58:38It's just to put it on this trunk.
00:58:41You can't see.
00:58:42What?
00:58:43What?
00:58:44Well, if not, we never find anything like this.
00:58:46Easy now.
00:58:47Okay, there it is.
00:58:52Are you going to dig it open and look inside?
00:58:55I'm afraid if we try opening it here, we may destroy something.
00:58:58Yes, sometimes just exposing a body to the air will cause it to fall apart.
00:59:02That's okay.
00:59:03If that happens, Bob will sew the pieces back together.
00:59:06We'll take you to the museum the first thing tomorrow morning.
00:59:09There we can examine it more closely.
00:59:12You know, you people have done a wonderful thing today.
00:59:16This could prove to be the most significant archeological discovery of our age.
00:59:21I can't get over how well preserved this is.
00:59:26Perfectly preserved.
00:59:27And I think I know why.
00:59:29Because it was filled in that cave?
00:59:33No, not exactly.
00:59:36Do you remember the vapor that shot up out of the hole when we tried the stone tablet loose?
00:59:40Do I?
00:59:41I'll say.
00:59:42I thought we'd had it right then.
00:59:43I believe that some ancient tribe buried this mummy, not just thousands of years ago, but hundreds of thousands.
00:59:53They were very primitive.
00:59:55Their writings and pottery work show that.
00:59:58And yet these people had found the secret of truly preserving the dead.
01:00:02But how?
01:00:04They combined certain amounts of various woods and resins that were present on the earth at that time.
01:00:10They put them in those earthen vessels we found and burned them in a sealed cave.
01:00:14The smoke and the incense had the power of preserving whatever was in the cave.
01:00:18So that's why the jars we found were filled with ashes.
01:00:22That vapor that escaped from the cave was a preservative smoke.
01:00:26Hundreds of thousands of years old.
01:00:27Well, that's my theory.
01:00:29I could very easily be wrong though.
01:00:31Hey!
01:00:32It moved.
01:00:33What moved?
01:00:34The money moved.
01:00:35Sure.
01:00:36It did.
01:00:37It moved its hand.
01:00:38Looks like your story got through to Norman.
01:00:41I didn't mean it was that well preserved.
01:00:46I'm not kidding.
01:00:48I'm sure it really did move.
01:00:49I was looking right at that head.
01:00:51And it just moved.
01:00:52Just a little bit.
01:00:53You'll understand.
01:00:54Norman watches television a lot.
01:00:56But I'm not kidding.
01:00:58Don't tell your story now.
01:00:59Wait until later on this evening.
01:01:01Just before we go to bed.
01:01:03Well, I think right now at any rate, we should all eat dinner.
01:01:06Good idea, huh?
01:01:07I can use company.
01:01:16Well, seriously, it was a great trip.
01:01:17Boy, it sounds like it.
01:01:18This day certainly did go by fast.
01:01:19I only wish I would have gone with you guys when you climbed up this rock.
01:01:21That was quite an experience.
01:01:22And where were we?
01:01:23Waiting down below.
01:01:24Well, when I looked up and saw that ledge and that sheer cliff, well, I always feel a lot
01:01:27better on solid ground.
01:01:28So next week all the newspapers will bring big stories about how we found a mummy.
01:01:29Maybe even magazines.
01:01:30Well, what's wrong with that?
01:01:31Yeah.
01:01:32They'll be asking me what I did, what happened, what did I do when I first found a mummy?
01:01:33Lying there in that cave like it has been for thousands of years.
01:01:34Oh, he's dead.
01:01:35What's going on?
01:01:36At least he's dead.
01:01:37Big love.
01:01:38I was blind.
01:01:39I don't have to go back in my mind.
01:01:40That's what I do.
01:01:41I could do that.
01:01:42I don't have to go back in my mind.
01:01:43Oh, it's not too bad.
01:01:44But now these are the two kings and their king.
01:01:45You don't have to go back in the woods and you see there.
01:01:46You're a king.
01:01:47And you cannot...
01:01:48You have to come back in the house on your hands.
01:01:49Who is going back.
01:01:50We left, you know.
01:01:51You don't have to go back in the house.
01:01:52This is a great thing.
01:01:53Yes.
01:01:54And you did.
01:01:55What is going back.
01:01:56What did I do when I first saw that woman lying there in that cave like it has been for thousands of years?
01:02:02And what am I going to tell them?
01:02:04That I didn't do anything because I wasn't even in the cave.
01:02:07I was too afraid to climb up on the rocks.
01:02:10Well, you weren't alone.
01:02:12I can see the pictures on the front of the school paper of you guys prying up that stone thing
01:02:17and all my friends asking me, where were you?
01:02:20Tell them you took the picture.
01:02:23Thanks.
01:02:25Well, I should go for a bottle of pop.
01:02:28The country store is open until 9 o'clock if you want to walk up there.
01:02:32How far is it?
01:02:34If you cut through the orange grove, it isn't far, about a 10-minute walk.
01:02:38There's a well-worn path, so you can't get lost.
01:02:41Want to walk up?
01:02:42Sure, sounds like fun.
01:02:43Anybody else want to go along?
01:02:45See, you plan on bringing in the rest of those jars for a closer look, don't you?
01:02:49Yes.
01:02:50And then I think I'll stay here.
01:02:53I think I'll go outside, too.
01:02:55For the fresh air.
01:02:56Yes, don't feel you have to stay inside.
01:02:58The country up here is pleasant at night.
01:03:00I'm too tired to go anywhere.
01:03:02Can you just say that?
01:03:03It's sure that if I go out there, something important will happen here.
01:03:06And if I stay here, they'll probably find flying socks or...
01:03:10By the way, you can bring me back a bottle of orange pop if you want.
01:03:13Where's the dime?
01:03:18Come on.
01:03:19Come on, take it out.
01:03:26And three cents deposit.
01:03:27Unless you want me to have to drink it there.
01:03:29Yeah.
01:03:34Some people are not so boring.
01:03:35Are you coming?
01:03:36Are you coming?
01:03:37No, I'm going to conserve my energy and stay here.
01:03:59You're coming in.
01:04:00You're coming in.
01:04:01Let's go.
01:04:02You're coming.
01:04:03We'll see you next time.
01:04:04Oh, no.
01:04:05You're coming.
01:04:06All right.
01:04:07See ya, see ya.
01:04:08You're coming.
01:04:09Well, goodbye.
01:04:10What?
01:04:12Okay.
01:04:13Cool.
01:04:14Thanks, everybody.
01:04:15You're coming.
01:04:17Oh, you're coming.
01:04:18Oh.
01:04:19What?
01:04:20I know.
01:04:21You're coming.

01:07:06C'mon, Bill.
01:07:07We've got to do something.
01:07:34Boy, it sure is a nice sky.
01:07:44The moon's so bright, you don't even need a flashlight.
01:07:47I love the country at night, don't you?
01:07:50Look at the stars.
01:07:51There must be billions of them.
01:07:54Living in town all the time, I guess you never realize how many there really are.
01:07:58Wouldn't it be great to live out here instead of in the city?
01:08:01Boy, I'll say.
01:08:02Shall we cut through the grove again?
01:08:04I guess so.
01:08:04We found our way the first time.
01:08:34Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:36Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:37If we stay in the path, we'll be okay.
01:08:38Yeah, if we can see it well enough.
01:08:39Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:40If we stay in the path, we'll be okay.
01:08:41If we stay in the path, we'll be okay.
01:08:42Yeah, if we can see it well enough.
01:08:43Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:44If we stay in the path, we'll be okay.
01:08:45If we stay in the path, we'll be okay.
01:08:46Yeah, if we can see it well enough.
01:08:47Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:48Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:49Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:50Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:51Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:52Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:53Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:54Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:55Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:56Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:57Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:58Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:08:59Boy, there's not much light in here.
01:09:00There's not much light in here.
01:09:01If we stay in the path, we'll be okay.
01:09:04Yeah, if we can see it well enough.
01:09:21You get down to the next house and learn them.
01:09:23I'll get Johnny and Sharon and meet you here, right?
01:09:30What's that?
01:09:39Shh.
01:09:40I might have heard something.
01:09:43What's that?
01:09:46Something's coming.
01:09:48Let's get out of here.
01:09:50Wait!
01:10:00When you weren't at the store, I figured you'd be on the way home.
01:10:03Is something home?
01:10:04Yes.
01:10:05Let's get out of the grove.
01:10:06Come on.
01:10:07Oh, yes.
01:10:20No, the children are all asleep.
01:10:23What time do you expect to be home?
01:10:26It's early in the morning.
01:10:43We're all fine.
01:10:45Okay.
01:10:46Bye.
01:10:47Don't let you go.
01:10:48What time're I we talking about?
01:10:49It's always good special.
01:10:50No, no, no.
01:10:51Come on.
01:10:52Hold on.
01:10:53You've care.
01:10:54God 10,怎麼樣.
01:10:56No, nothing.
01:11:11How was the best plan on...
01:11:13I think he's in the middle position.
01:11:15I'm sorry.
01:11:45Hello, Bill.
01:11:53Walt, it's good to see you, especially now.
01:11:56I just came from the Mitchell Ranch.
01:11:58Walt, this is Roger Mason, a teacher at the high school.
01:12:01How do you do?
01:12:01How are you, Mason?
01:12:02And this is Johnny, one of his students.
01:12:04Hi, Sheriff.
01:12:05Hello, Johnny.
01:12:06We were up digging at the Indian site yesterday,
01:12:09and that's where we discovered the cave and the mummy.
01:12:11Bill, of all the weird stories I've heard,
01:12:14this is the strangest.
01:12:17If it weren't for you boys, I wouldn't believe it.
01:12:19How do you account for it?
01:12:21I can't.
01:12:23I have only a theory
01:12:25that the smoke and the vapor in that cave
01:12:27must have caused the body to lie dormant or asleep
01:12:30for possibly hundreds of thousands of years.
01:12:33When we opened up the cave and let the air in...
01:12:36I told you I just came from the Mitchell Ranch
01:12:38where the girl was killed last night.
01:12:39I covered the body as soon as I got there,
01:12:42but some of the neighbors had seen it first.
01:12:44The door's going around
01:12:45but there's a bear come down from the mountains.
01:12:47One of the windows was badly smashed.
01:12:48The door of the shed where we put the mummy
01:12:50was smashed too.
01:12:51Let's have a look at it.
01:13:14This mud looks like the lab man found by the body.
01:13:21Funny red stuff.
01:13:23The mummy was sealed with mud just like that.
01:13:28It broke out of its wrappings.
01:13:30What's it look like now?
01:13:31We don't know.
01:13:32We just got a glimpse of it as it ran into that grove.
01:13:34It stood erect but was larger than a man.
01:13:35That's as much as we could tell.
01:13:36Last night after it killed a girl while the neighbors said
01:13:37that he shot at something running into the grove.
01:13:41The orange and lemon groves in this part of the country are so extensive,
01:13:48the thing could travel for miles and never leave the protection of the trees.
01:13:49Let's go look at the place that you thought run into the grove.
01:13:50Let's go look at the place that you thought run into the grove.
01:13:56Let's go look at the place that you thought run into the grove.
01:14:10Oh.
01:15:13It looks as if it's been along here.
01:16:03Over here.
01:16:10Look at the broken branches.
01:16:20Why, there's blood on the ground.
01:16:23Isn't it?
01:16:25Yes.
01:16:26I think we found the spot where the creature stayed last night.
01:16:31But what's the blood from?
01:16:34My guess is the fellow who shot at it last night must have hit it.
01:16:39What makes you say that?
01:16:41Because this isn't ordinary blood.
01:16:45This is too dark in color.
01:16:48He told me he had hit it.
01:16:51But he must have missed it.
01:16:54Why?
01:16:54Because I saw the gun that he used.
01:16:58The large caliber.
01:17:00Three shots from that would have stopped anything.
01:17:04Anything?
01:17:04Well, it's sure that if a hunting rifle didn't stop it, that revolver of yours wouldn't do much good either.
01:17:15And it's too dangerous trying to track it down through these groves.
01:17:19Do you have an idea?
01:17:20Well, maybe we can lure it into the open field.
01:17:24It's worth a try.
01:17:50That should just about do it, shouldn't it?
01:17:59Yes.
01:18:03Now let's set those cans of gasoline around before we can get at them fast.
01:18:08All right.
01:18:09I'll show them where.
01:18:10Good.
01:18:14Okay.
01:18:18Be careful.
01:18:20I got all the meat scraps they had.
01:18:50How are we going to know when it's coming so we can pour off the gas?
01:19:07Or we'll situate someone up the road to see through the trees and give the signal when it comes.
01:19:14We can use the radio telephone in my car and I have a portable unit in the back.
01:19:18Good.
01:19:18THE END
01:19:48Let's hook it up down here.
01:19:56You push this button down to the top.
01:20:01And let it up to receive.
01:20:03That way you'll be able to communicate with the telephone in my car.
01:20:07Good.
01:20:10See, why don't you take your car and station yourself on the road down here.
01:20:15Just a minute.
01:20:16Who's going into the grove with the bait?
01:20:19I thought I would.
01:20:21Why you?
01:20:22I was going to do that part.
01:20:24Well, my idea.
01:20:26That's a mighty dangerous idea too, Roger.
01:20:29You don't know where that thing may be hiding.
01:20:32All right.
01:20:33Let's draw straws between the two of us to see who goes in.
01:20:36The one who gets the shortest straw has the job.
01:20:47Why three straws?
01:20:49I'm in on this too.
01:20:51Well, looks like I win anyway.
01:21:03I'll be down by the road.
01:21:06And I'll be on this radio.
01:21:07Roger.
01:21:08Roger.
01:21:20Roger.
01:21:29You're more apt to need this than I do.
01:21:30Well, I'll be back in a few minutes.
01:21:56Be careful.
01:21:57All right.
01:22:05THE END
01:22:35The sheriff's ready.
01:22:51He's got a good view through the grove from where he's parked.
01:22:54Yes, we've already communicated with him.
01:22:59Well,
01:22:59now all we do is wait here
01:23:05until it comes out of the grove.
01:23:15It's been a half hour.
01:23:16This is Bill, Walt.
01:23:38See anything yet?
01:23:40Nothing yet.
01:23:41It's beginning to look as if this idea isn't going to work.
01:23:46Let's wait another 20 or 30 minutes anyway.
01:23:49Let's wait another 20 minutes away.
01:23:56Roger.
01:24:03Yes, Walt.
01:24:06You better be careful.
01:24:18You'll hear from me within a minute.
01:24:21You'll hear from me within a minute.
01:24:25There's just one of the trees that's just about it.
01:24:28I'm going to take a closer look.
01:24:30Hold on.
01:24:31You better be careful.
01:24:33You'll hear from me within a minute.
01:24:55I'm going to take a closer look.
01:25:25You better be careful.
01:25:55I'm going to take a closer look.
01:25:57I'm going to take a closer look.
01:26:02I'm going to take a closer look.
01:26:04It's been almost three minutes.
01:26:09Walt.
01:26:10Come in, Walt.
01:26:14Something's wrong.
01:26:15Come on.
01:26:16Bring along those players, Johnny.
01:26:21You better grab that gasoline, too.
01:26:23There's his car.
01:26:24Take it easy now.
01:26:30Walt.
01:26:32Walt.
01:26:33There's his car.
01:26:39Take it easy now.
01:26:41Walt.
01:26:42Wait here.
01:26:47Walt.
01:26:48Wait here.
01:26:54Walt.
01:26:55Walt.
01:26:56Walt.
01:26:57Walt.
01:26:59Walt.
01:27:00Walt.
01:27:01Walt.
01:27:02Walt.
01:27:03Walt.
01:27:04Walt.
