00:00when I had that siding that just cemented it right there I know the real I seen it bigfoot
00:12a legendary creature stalking the wilderness of North America I think there's more people
00:19that know about it than we think to most people bigfoot is just a myth but for those who have
00:25encountered this mysterious being it is much more I didn't ask for any of this to happen it just
00:32happens it is the incentive that drives them into the woods searching for answers there's people who
00:39think bigfoot is a hairy UFO pilot there's people that think it's just another monkey some have wild
00:46claims of encounters with the beast well like I said when I shot that one when I was 17 years old
00:52one thing they all have in common is their desire for answers to the unknown there's some kind of
00:59phenomena going on that people are claiming to see stuff it is what led them to become bigfoot hunters
01:06interest in bigfoot has exploded in recent years television shows youtube channels and
01:22bigfoot festivals have brought this subculture closer to the mainstream you know there's a lot of people
01:29that don't believe but I think there's more people that believe than we know a lot of people don't talk
01:34they don't want ridicule people all across the United States get together with others and head out into
01:44the woods trying to catch a glimpse of this legendary creature I was fortunate to attend one of these
01:54outings a four-day camp out in a wildlife corridor in central Florida more than two dozen people came to
02:03this event I mean there's people from Ohio and New York and bump up I mean there were also people from New
02:12New Hampshire Rhode Island Massachusetts and various parts of Florida most people associate Bigfoot
02:21with the Pacific Northwest but there are sightings all across North America with Florida having the third
02:29most sightings of any state making it an ideal location for a gathering of this kind so there's a good group of
02:37people here is what I want to say um there's a lots of different belief systems in here and that's by design
02:44we got filmmakers here we got drone makers here we even have alien groups in here okay that have seen
02:50um lights and orbs the outing was put together by Matt Larson whom I met the previous year while filming a
02:58documentary about the skunk ape Florida's Bigfoot
03:02Matt has been searching this wildlife corridor in central Florida for several years dozens of Bigfoot
03:12sightings have been reported within 20 miles of this location since the 1970s and 80s but much of the area
03:22has since been developed like 35 years ago when we grew up around in this area and hung out and stuff
03:29there was nothing but woods out here there was no houses Publix wasn't there this was all woods
03:36Matt's theory is that as the area has been developed over the years all the wildlife has been confined to
03:45this narrow strip of wilderness it is a choke point and if there are Bigfoot swamp apes in Florida
03:52I think I figured it out that they have to move through here Matt brought in others to help with the search
03:59and get outside opinions on his chosen area I want to bring this group together just to see what the
04:07hell would happen is one group going to react different than another group is anyone going to have a reaction
04:11at all as the Bigfooters set up camp they got acquainted and shared stories I learned that many of them were
04:22pulled into the search for this alleged creature due to an experience they had themselves
04:30like Brian who had a strange encounter in 2003 while camping with his five-year-old son in northern New Hampshire
04:42the campsite we had was right at the bend of a kind of like a river like a small brook a fast-flowing
04:50brook so I could hear at night it was such a nice location because it was us on the corner
04:57over that river just woods there was nothing else so at night it was nice and quiet I can't fall asleep
05:05in the tent it's just I toss turn I can't get comfortable so that second night I'm almost getting
05:12mad because I can't fall asleep in the tent I'm listening to the water I'm listening to the crickets
05:19I'm trying to focus on something that'll help me go to sleep I even started counting
05:23you know with your kid counting sheep I'm doing anything I can because I know the next day I got
05:29this four and a half hour ride home and I'm gonna be on no sleep so I'm laying there eyes wide open on my
05:37back and all of a sudden I hear this impression start grazing across the tent
05:49you know how you can hear nylon you brush against the tent it's loud
05:53I see the impression at above the door I catch the indentions of of digits of fingertips just just
06:03grazing across and I'm like who is this jerk messing with me and my family in the middle of the night I
06:10thought it was like a drunk camper so I'm about to get up to unzip and open up the tent and be like what
06:16the hell are you doing as soon as it was done going across the tent with his hands all the way across
06:22side to side I hear this breath it was an exhale a deep exhale and it went from a growl to a grunt
06:36and when it growled to the grunt it vibrated me it vibrated my body and I just
06:43I just dropped like a baby I just dropped like a sack of potatoes I put the pillow over my head
06:48I was so confused after that grunt it went dead silent it was dead and silent to where I was
06:55like holy shit what animal could do that the first thing I thought was bear you think of an animal that
07:05is in that area moose bear deer and I'm like then I'm really I'm starting to think I'm like what the
07:13if a bear got up on its hind legs and would do that across it would have ripped the hole in my tent with
07:19its claws so I'm like no it couldn't have been a bear and I'm thinking I'm like the only time I have
07:25heard or felt that vibration was going to the circus and seeing the lions when they roar that's the only
07:33thing I could pick compare what I heard but it was the vibration that confused me I kept that to
07:39myself I looked up they were still asleep nothing it wasn't allowed it was the depth it was the depth
07:46and the vibration I'm like a like a vocal a vibration from a vocal is what baffled me that bothered me for
07:53I didn't sleep for days I'm just thinking it over I'm like what the hell could do that
08:01and then I hear all the other stories of people that get supposedly felt the vibration from a vocal
08:08and that set me down this rabbit hole of trying to find out what happened to me that night and
08:14that's why I'm here and why I like coming out and hoping to get some answers
08:25the vibration that Brian felt is often attributed to infrasound sounds below the low end of human
08:33hearing these sound frequencies can cause feelings of fear anxiety and nausea lions tigers and many other
08:44animals can communicate using infrasound frequencies many people who have had bigfoot encounters
08:51described similar experiences I got hit with the infrasound one evening while I was out there hunting
08:59and I was trying to figure out what's causing this I was feeling anxiety I was feeling dread
09:05I was feeling like I needed to leave the area and I'm like dang I'm not scared of nothing out here
09:11I'm out here hunting at night that during the day what's causing this and um I just I stayed out
09:18there and kept hunting and finally the feeling went away and since then I've been hit with it again
09:25since doing this and I knew what it was and I stood there and I was I was feeling like something was
09:32rushing me I was feeling the anxiety anxiety the dread I felt like a bear was rushing me and um I started to
09:40grab my gun and pull it out because I can still carry it and I just kept thinking no don't I know
09:45what's causing it just stay calm and know what's causing it interesting is there any other unusual
09:52circumstances that surround the infrasound experiences or is it just all of a sudden you're just hit with
09:58this overwhelming feeling of dread yeah it was just all of a sudden you're hit with it
10:03bigfoot stories range from strange experiences like brian's and tim's to the downright outrageous
10:15like the encounter james said he had when he was 17 james was camping with some friends in florida's
10:24ocala national forest when something truly unexpected happened we were out there camping having a good time
10:32fire talking and all of a sudden i looked out and i've seen somebody or something i couldn't make out
10:40really what it was just outside of firelight and then it started circling our camp
10:49i kept seeing it in different places as it went around us and it went around probably two times
10:55and then it stopped by this one tree and when it stopped by that tree it was just standing there
11:03looking at us and it was big
11:06i say he was at least at least seven foot tall and he was probably that wide i mean he was big when
11:18i seen him that's the one thing that bothered me the most you know like i say if you're not the alpha
11:25male out there you're dinner and i was afraid that i'd be dinner if that guy come in here after me because
11:31he was big enough that he could whoop me i know he was the scene james described paints an ominous
11:38picture i imagine a group of teenagers presented with such a scenario would be flooded with fear
11:48so this thing started coming toward me i had my shotgun up and i pointed and i said stop right now or
11:55i'm shooting i mean i was starting to really get excited you know i hate to say i was getting a
12:02little frightened and this thing just took another step and when he did bam i pulled the trigger and
12:10it's a magnum slug it hit him in the gut he doubled over sat down and rolled over behind the tree a big
12:19tree that was there after the creature rolled behind the tree they lost sight of it i told my friend i
12:30told my buddies i said we're gonna have to sit down here with our backs to each other with our guns pointed
12:35out in case he decides to come in at least one of us can probably take another shot well my one guy
12:42there he pissed all over himself i mean he just i mean he really let loose and i calmed him down and
12:48i calmed the other guy down we sat there waiting for safe light james said he and his friends spent
12:56the rest of the night watching the wood line afraid the creature would return it kind of got my
13:05worries up and my buddies they were all panicking as soon as it was light enough to see they fled the
13:13woods we got up and ran to my car just as fast as we could run after reaching the car james and his
13:22friends found a game warden together they all returned to the campsite looking for signs of the
13:29creature that james says he shot the night before we got out there and i walked him around because i knew
13:37where this thing had been walking around us there wasn't a single footprint anywhere there was no
13:45blood behind the tree nothing and we went all around that tree there was no blood there was no
13:52butt marks foot marks anything unable to find any signs of the creature the game warden dismissed james's
14:01account and told him not to talk about the incident with anyone else so he loaded us up and took us
14:08back to the fire tower and told us he said i'm gonna let you go but don't talk to nobody about this you
14:14don't know anything i said well you know i'm just worried about what who what i shot and he said don't
14:20worry about it it didn't happen okay because there was no evidence without evidence all james has is
14:29his story and his thoughts about what he says happened that night and it bothers me now that i
14:36shot a bigfoot because i was started talking to people afterward and then that's when i found out about
14:42the bigfoots and so what makes you so sure that what you shot was a bigfoot by the way people describe
14:51being seven eight foot tall big frames and curious of you
15:04not all the people searching for bigfoot are hoping to see the creature for a second time
15:09some go out hoping to have their first encounter so i grew up in chestnut ridge in dairy pennsylvania
15:18and my whole family has my aunts seen them uncle seen them i've never seen one but chestnut ridge is
15:27such an active area everyone knew they were there ufos all that stuff chestnut ridge is well known for a
15:35variety of strange encounters everything from ufos bigfoot and even thunderbirds have been reported
15:45in the area for decades that's what we grew up you know hearing but i want proof so i'm gonna keep going
15:54you know until i see something yeah and so far i haven't seen it
15:57it's the search for proof that seems to drive most bigfoot hunters though they may disagree
16:08about what exactly it is they're trying to prove what brings you out here to this uh gathering this
16:17weekend what does bring me out here to this game it's a it's a chance to get out on the woods with
16:23with other bigfooters uh and this one especially because it doesn't matter who you are or what you
16:31think we're all here to do kind of the same job um so we got people who you know think bigfoot is a
16:38magical you know being there's people who think bigfoot is you know a hairy ufo pilot there's people
16:45that think it's just another monkey there's people that think it's a relic hominid and when you put all
16:50those people together you get a lot of arguments you get a lot of stories told but in in this kind
16:56of an environment we're all camping together it's not in a confrontational way and i think that it it
17:05actually does more for like the bigfoot any any progress that we're ever going to get in the bigfoot
17:11world we've all got to figure it out and work together and no one knows which one of these things
17:15is the real path to go down everyone has their opinion what is bigfoot often described as a large
17:25hairy man-like creature there are various theories about what this being actually is
17:32and many eyewitness accounts include more unexplained phenomena than just a hairy beast
17:38in my opinion it's just a theory i'm beginning to believe that uh the uaps or ufos whatever you
17:47want to call them bigfoot orbs even the dog i believe they're all connected in some way some way
17:54divergent theories and experiences with the creature have caused divisions and disagreements among bigfooters
18:02broadly speaking there are two schools of thought in the bigfoot world the flesh and blood people
18:10and the paranormal people the flesh and blood folks generally think bigfoot is some sort of living
18:16breathing creature well what is your opinion of what bigfoot is um yeah i mean it's an opinion
18:26and solely an opinion um i don't know i i always say that it is like a separate twig
18:37or a parallel twig on the human branch of the primate family tree we're not too far from them
18:47i think on the dna level he's just an animal i'm gonna say i believe it's flesh and blood
18:53the paranormal camp holds a variety of theories about what bigfoot might be um i know we all have
19:02different beliefs um i know a lot of them i think it's like you know some kind of primate thing i'm
19:11leaning towards ufo i i don't know i just the portal thing just things that we come across
19:19i'm honestly gonna have to say i'm leaning towards that i believe in spirits are roaming around here
19:24i believe in flesh running around here so that's just the way it is with me for the first five or
19:31six years i would say i was completely a flesh and blood guy you know i thought it was flesh but now i
19:38definitely think there's something more going on here i don't what i don't know but there's something
19:44more going on has to be i'm switching camps i'm about almost all the way in the paranormal camp now
19:52and i think it's interdimensional i really do
20:01i know talk of interdimensional beings sounds pretty out there at the very least outside our normal
20:08perceived reality but let's explore the idea for a minute theoretical physicists propose at least
20:1610 dimensions and possibly more these higher dimensions are beyond human capabilities of
20:25observation well what if objects or creatures from a fifth dimension were observable for just a brief
20:34period in our three-dimensional reality imagine we lived in a two-dimensional world like a chessboard
20:42which has only length and width now imagine someone in three-dimensional space
20:50holds one of the pieces at a height above the board and shines a light on it casting a shadow into the
20:57two-dimensional world if we can only observe two dimensions a strange shape mysteriously appears out
21:06of nowhere then vanishes but when we see all three dimensions it's obvious what's causing the phenomenon
21:15is it possible that similar dimensional projections are happening from higher dimensions into our three-dimensional world
21:27obviously i don't know the answer to that but it's certainly a fun idea to entertain and would help
21:35explain a lot of the strange disappearances that many have described with their bigfoot encounters
21:43as darkness fell that first night of the camp out everyone headed out into the woods to choose a spot to
21:52search and get acquainted with the area i can go scout this out like i said i'm going to come up here
21:59you can clearly tell there's a trail coming through here and you can see the trail we split up into several
22:05groups some folks went toward the river some headed south and others explored to the north and northeast
22:14the group i followed traveled due east along one of the trails hoping to meet up with mike and christian
22:20who were planning to explore the area to the northeast
22:26the trail got decimated by a tree oh wow see that eric right there is that big tree oh yeah no
22:32shit yeah so we know obviously a squash pushed it over i mean come on there's nothing else nothing else
22:38that would do that just kidding
22:43we explored the area looking for signs of anything unusual but only found evidence of known animals
22:57at one point alex received a text from mike and christian we just had a crazy situation happen
23:04over here we heard some walking through the bushes right beside us making a human mumbling sound we
23:11are sitting here like what the we thought it was you guys we're stationary and not moving
23:21we were all intrigued by the mumbling sound they described and decided to backtrack so we could meet up
23:29with them quicker when we got to their location they recounted their experiences right when this trail
23:39intersects back towards this field him and i came across all of a sudden we hear what sounded like
23:45sounded like somebody walking in in the woods right besides really thick scrub yeah bunch of quail took
23:51off and when we were we it sounded like a dude walking in the bushes and we heard as it was walking away
23:58i'm here and we laughed every time dude it's it's it you can't do it and not laugh it's pretty funny
24:05but i thought it was i thought it was you guys we thought it was like oh that's just them here they
24:10come they're coming up maybe we're like linking up so we sat there for about 15 minutes and we could
24:16hear this thing going truck truck truck and then what did it sound like it made it just made that noise
24:23the the mumbling noise and i thought it was i thought it was you guys from a distance because i couldn't
24:28make it out what it was saying you it just sounded like mumbling like somebody off in the distance
24:33like having a conversation but it wasn't off it wasn't that far it was probably like literally
24:38like a hundred feet from us yeah and it was loud we just we just walked into a wall of stink if you
24:44guys get over here you got to come check this out you got to smell this for yourself
24:47the mumbling they described was fascinating combined with the horrible smell they were taking us to
24:56experience my curiosity was soaring many bigfoot witnesses describe a putrid smell with their
25:05encounter especially in florida where bigfoot is often referred to as the skunk ape
25:12it's gonna get so bad yeah the funny thing is it comes and it comes when we get back to the trap i
25:21mean the food station and we didn't smell anything
25:24like when we first came through here and i was rolling man and we just walked right into it we
25:41were like whoa what is that smell it yeah it comes and goes though it comes yeah it's actually not
25:55as bad right here as it was five feet back there it was the cloud was like right here you guys went
26:00right past and then we left the smell dissipated we came back to right here and then it was nothing
26:06the odor was strange and pungent it had a bit of a familiar smell that i want to describe as rotting
26:16hay the easy answer to the smells origins are that it came from the game feeder but as mike described
26:26it would come in waves one minute there was nothing then suddenly we were pummeled by the foul stench
26:35here it comes here it comes here it comes oh god god what is that that's fucking weird dude is that
26:44not i am so glad i did not i like they're gonna think we're crazy now you guys would just walk
26:51through here and that was not here no when you just walked through here it's coming like in oh
26:58shit yeah here it is here it is yeah that's not real bad again but you didn't smell it when you
27:02came through here the first time not this bad not this bad that's weird i don't know what else i don't
27:12know how to explain that i'm just glad you guys could verify that yeah we've had a wild night man
27:20like i'm not kidding you like this has been the wildest night i've ever had in the woods as far as
27:25like activity goes i'm not talking about shows there's a ton of creatures and i'm not talking
27:29about big no i'm talking about just active unknown the putrid smell combined with the strange mumbling
27:37mike and christian heard certainly lent some credence to matt's theory about this wildlife corridor
27:48the following morning mike hughes shared what he and christian experienced the night before but last
27:54night was honestly that was the most incredible night i've ever had out in the woods most in the
27:59group found it interesting but thought it was only evidence that there was a lot of known wildlife in
28:06the corridor it's not at all that i didn't believe you guys it's just that one of the things i do is
28:11trying to figure out what else i'm sure i believe me well you second guess you second guess
28:17the strange smell several of us experienced and the mumbling were quietly dismissed as a
28:25misidentification of something ordinary we tend to think we know everything in the bigfoot world so
28:31when i heard their story i thought that's really cool but you know i've been doing this for a long
28:37time kids and i don't think it's a bigfoot i think you heard ibises because they mentioned you know
28:43wings flapping and then a mumbling and all this just this compilation of of uh things that happened
28:51ibises do make a low guttural sound but i would not describe the recordings i've listened to as mumbling
29:00many bigfooters bring a healthy amount of skepticism into their search for the creature
29:14they hope to gather solid evidence that will hold up to scrutiny
29:19and ultimately prove what is causing these strange experiences in the woods i come from a background of
29:26law enforcement and archaeology so i look at things more on the scientific aspect and how we can data
29:33collect i have friends that have had experiences and i think that's my my push is to help collect enough
29:42data to help them figure out what their experience was you know was it a bear or was it something else
29:48did they see an upright walking humanoid figure i have not had an experience but again i've met a lot of
29:55folks in very credible positions and you see that reaction they've had a traumatic experience why do they
30:03have that traumatic experience the exchange of ideas on bigfoot encounters continued throughout the day
30:14with a few debates on various topics and people sharing their personal experiences
30:21and opinions on bigfoot behavior including when they had objects thrown at them i've had acorns stones rocks
30:32one of the coolest things was uh corn on the cob all eaten and peeled and still had the uh rind on it
30:41coming through the woods through the trees you can hear it lands right in front of me and probably the best
30:47thing was uh up in ohio i was out fishing at night and i hear this something coming from across the river
30:57which was probably 80 yards across i hear something coming and then it hits the bank right next to me
31:07and i was like well i couldn't see it because it was it hit the water so i couldn't see it and then
31:12it happened again people hear this thing coming and this time it landed just above the water line
31:18and i look at it and that's a clamshell so something hurled clams 80 yards away from the other side of the
31:26river pinpoint accurate so that's some weird things thrown at me
31:31it was interesting to hear that some people had multiple strange experiences we have all kinds of
31:42stuff happening up there all the time uh screams from the woods uh they'll come up and pound on the
31:48side of the cabin i mean they'll come up and leave stuff in the cabin uh gifts if you will
31:54what kind of things would it leave strange things you know rocks that would be placed on the porch
32:03some of them in a a pattern what kind of patterns were the rocks left in uh sometimes it's a triangle
32:12sometimes a circle and sometimes they'll just be a couple rocks on the porch that wasn't there the night
32:19before the gifting that joey described is thought by some to be an exchange with bigfoot
32:29many bigfooters leave food or objects in the woods hoping to establish a form of communication with the
32:36alleged creature i've done some gifting with crystals in an area that we go into cut crystals and
32:42have had some interesting either stacks or a crystal missing and then come back to the area and
32:47a crystal shows back up and it was kind of in an area that only i would know and our group would
32:52know that these crystals were out there and i've had everything from rocks thrown at me focalizations
33:02i did have a sighting now i'm not going to say it's a class a sighting because of the distance
33:06was over 300 yards which would put it at a class b sighting as i was hiking at a distance i saw something
33:13with like a cinnamon red hair and i started hiking behind it and the next thing i noticed was um it
33:20spotted me it kind of looked back you could see the head turn i could only catch the the torso shoulders
33:26the hair and it was sparkling because it was canopied so some of the arms from the distance like from the
33:32elbow down it kind of blended in with the background and from the knees down and as i was coming it kind of
33:39darted off into the woods and came behind a tree an oak tree that was kind of split at a y and it
33:48started to do the peak behind the tree as i was coming up and then i think when i got about 150 yards
33:54out of it it shot out so i was able to at least get to the tree and it was probably about seven and
33:59a half foot tall from where its head was above the y and how it was peeking out um so do i question
34:06myself all the time on that yeah because of the distance that was there you know you're always
34:10like am i sure i saw this like stan many people second guess their bigfoot experiences
34:20it's this uncertainty that ultimately drives them back to the woods hoping for a better look at the
34:26creature as the day turned to dusk everyone prepared to head out into the woods for a night set the whole
34:36idea was is to have one night between seven and say midnight two however any long everybody wants to go
34:45that we did a continuous night set so it's almost like i see it as a human camera trap matt's plan
34:52is to have as much of the corridor covered as possible so if bigfoot is in the area someone
34:59will hopefully see it 12 teams of two would sit for several hours around this wildlife corridor
35:08watching and listening this is my ideal scenario right i have a tree line behind me and i'm on the edge
35:16so i can look out on the field but i can also check out the tree line behind me that would be ideal
35:20scenario they spread out in all directions one group in a tree stand others on the ground in the
35:28surrounding fields and woods meanwhile back at the campsite i was hearing some eye-opening tales about
35:40alleged bigfoot behaviors from james uh how long have you been observing bigfoot oh ever since i was
35:48well like i said when i shot that one when i was 17 years old i'm 68 now and i've been out here in
35:54the woods i've every place i've ever lived i've been in the woods wisconsin south carolina west virginia
36:02um have you seen bigfoots at all those places yeah yeah especially down there in west virginia i used
36:09to help some of the ranchers down there to keep them off their property you know how mothballs
36:14mothballs mothballs mothballs they can't stand the smell of mothballs as the conversation went on
36:22james shared a dizzying variety of claims about bigfoot did you know that the united states army
36:31has taken bigfoot hairs and come up with a stealth cloth all your trees has got energy
36:42and they will produce a portal sometimes i'm told things in my dreams from what i understand the
36:48military has got several of them and they got them caged up mankind was created from the dust of the earth
36:56and women was created from man god created bigfoot from the mud of the earth so he's down to the powers of
37:06the earth when i asked james how he knew all of these things i didn't get the definitive answer i was
37:15hoping for something clicks and i understand what's happening i don't know if i'm being told you know
37:24through some kind of deal or what but i i get these ideas and then all of a sudden next thing i know i
37:32start seeing it all over the place now is it possible that you're just you know looking for
37:39patterns so you're recognizing patterns i look for them yeah because i know what i'm looking for
37:46the following morning i checked in with everyone else to find out how the night set went
37:53it turns out that while i was hearing various theories about bigfoot from james
37:59the groups in the field were having their own wild night quite a night last night
38:04uh me and max powers had a lot of activity going on that max and brian experienced a series of
38:14unexplained events similar to mike and christian the night before a group of us went with them to
38:22one of the locations where they experienced something looking for any evidence of what might have caused it
38:29we were on the very last trail you could be on in this conservation area so we were right on the edge
38:37and we just sat and listened we were probably sitting there for an hour and 20 minutes hour and a half
38:44and got really really bored and you know you get kind of bored you start chit-chatting instead of
38:52listening and once we started chatting you know we started talking about um how boring it was how there was
38:59nothing going on and we're like why couldn't we get action like the other guys got the other night
39:04because that that's that's an amazing thing to have around all this wildlife around you and just
39:13so then on and off we're just hearing this faint what we thought was a bird these birds are
39:21the birds that i thought filled the description of the people the previous night's experience
39:30so we're just laughing like yeah that there's the birds there's the birds they were hearing that's
39:33what they heard they heard these birds and we were sure that we were smarter and you know
39:40i don't know more worldly bigfooters than they
39:42so we sit there and whatever it is flock of birds or whatever seems to be coming kind of closer and
39:51closer and it's uh it's a mumbling we're not hearing any bird we're just hearing something out there
40:00kind of moving around just kind of shuffling through those palm meadows and mumbling
40:05like that no more what we thought was the bird sound and within a few minutes that noise
40:16is now really close to us and we start to hear a higher pitch version kind of a
40:22kind of thing with all the strange sounds occurring around them
40:27max decided to try an app on his phone that identifies different bird calls max had a
40:36an app on his phone it's called the bird app like let's see if we can pick up and see what it is
40:44so he hits it the sound goes comes back homo sapien so i went from all right let's see what kind of
40:52bird it is let's see what kind of to what really and i'm like really and it was just it of course it
41:00start you get thinking i'm like huh like the guys heard the mumbling last night and now we're hearing
41:06the mumbling understandably max and brian were intrigued by the sound they heard and the app's
41:15identification of the sound as homo sapien we decided to go look for this thing and kind of walk around
41:22and it had left and gone away and we we decided to follow it so after sitting for an hour we decide
41:30to move and i'm like let's go around and we'll just follow that last path around and we'll loop back to
41:36the guys brian and max's plan was to follow the outer trail and eventually meet up with alex and mike at
41:45the tree stand so we're walking all of a sudden the mumbling gets louder like very it's almost like
41:55a like when your cassette tape is either melted or it's slowed down and that's what it sounded like
42:01it sounded like a frustrated
42:04vocal a frustrated tone in the in the mumbling to where it was like an intelligence tool max and brian
42:16continued walking driven on by their curiosity for what they were hearing now we're moving and alex is
42:25up in a tree stand however you know a thousand feet away i'm not sure how far it was and he's going
42:31you guys are on the move right where are you are you on the move what's going on we you know we're
42:35seeing things move and so he has pictures of something else in the field on the thermal
42:41and we're moving and he can see our lights one thing i saw that was interesting was an unknown thermal hit
42:47to the left of me something just kind of moving in the tall grass i don't know maybe pig-sized it was so
42:54quick and faint couldn't really tell very much of what it was so he was trying to figure out
43:01what exactly is going on so rather than really big footing and being quiet and listening and trying
43:08to track these things we're wandering answering these texts you know calling uh alex in the tree
43:14stand and mike on the ground under him and trying to you know let them know yeah it's okay we are on
43:20the move and all those things and uh we come to another intersection and we decide to take the trail
43:26that kind of wraps around the trail they turned on to would lead them back to where alex and mike were
43:34so as we're moving there's about a three-foot embankment with a tree about that size
43:39and as we're passing it something just runs just bolts for about five seconds and then stops we
43:48didn't see anything all we heard was something behind this tree take off like through the bushes
43:56it only went far enough to get out of our line of vision far enough just out of our sight just back
44:08into the darkness into uh the bushes into a place where our lights wouldn't penetrate
44:16two of the dog is like like going nuts pulling at the leash he's like you know back legs on the ground
44:22front legs trying to get in there after whatever it is i was thinking oh maybe this is a hog or maybe
44:29it's bigfoot in which case i'm scared of either one so when we pull out our knives and we're like
44:35because you don't know it's pitch black and we just we wait we can hear it still kind of it's almost like
44:43you know going from side to side back there you can hear something moving but it's not really going
44:47anywhere um and we're waiting chewy's going crazy and as we're trying to decide what we should do
44:58the mumbling starts again
45:01it's this location near the tree that they took us to the following day we were probably about this
45:18far yeah we would just talk so i mean that would be right there wow you were really close oh yeah and
45:24all of a sudden yep he first thing he did was pull his knife and i'm trying to get my knife
45:30and it's right at this tree here it was right it was must have been behind the tree yeah all right
45:40yeah and and it i don't want to say it was strategically located but if it was behind
45:47the tree it was kind of close to the tree and
45:53if you look
45:53it looks like there's something's been through here and it looks like something's been through
46:01here up to about this high could have been a big hog but we could see a clear path through the shrubs
46:10behind the tree but no indication of what it might have been that they heard the night before
46:16what brian and max experienced is certainly curious one thing that stands out to me
46:26is that when i interviewed them separately the following morning their stories lined up almost
46:31perfectly with every detail what do you think uh what do you think it might have been
46:36it was something that makes noise in the bushes and that that's all i completely inconclusive so
46:46got a chance to talk to the people who experienced a very similar thing the night before
46:51and they weren't ready to call it bigfoot either um
46:57but they imitated the exact same noise
47:01the way their encounter parallels some of what mike and christian experienced the previous night
47:09only adds a layer of intrigue so that that was quite an interesting night to get all that action
47:17at once but it was like a repetition of what happened to the guys the night before with the mumbling
47:23so it's it's interesting and i can't wait to get back out there tonight with a blind and just sit
47:29there and just see what happens that night brian and others did go back out by the time i caught up
47:38with them a downpour ended our time in the field early it's so heavy
47:46we're just losing in here back at the dry comfort of the camp i took the opportunity to speak with alex
47:55and get some of his thoughts on bigfoot alex is a documentary filmmaker who has traveled
48:02all over north america and interviewed many bigfoot witnesses when people say there's nowhere for
48:08these things to hide or other creatures absolutely don't believe that at all i mean i've driven to alaska
48:14and back and there are places up there that are frighteningly remote in terms of terrain there's just nothing up there for
48:20thousands of miles you know obviously canada northern parts of the us probably more so than a
48:27place like florida where you got 22 million people crammed into area but you know there's some parts
48:33of the lower 48 that are pretty remote too so the habitat's there if you're talking about something
48:38flesh and blood if you're talking about something else then you know why aren't we people seeing it in
48:44little parks in brooklyn when you start looking at the patterns of the sightings they correlate really
48:49interestingly to known animal corridors uh known habitat of other species and they typically only
48:56happen in very heavily wooded areas mountains swamps like down here in the south like what we're in
49:03right now so if you're thinking if it's some kind of it's all in our heads we'd expect the sightings to
49:08be randomly distributed all over in some cases they are but it's really weird when you have a particular
49:13area that has over the years a history of sightings in the same areas by people who don't know about
49:19each other that's pretty intriguing yeah so you start adding up some of this stuff and
49:26it just doesn't add up right i mean that there's there's a couple of possibilities you have something
49:31real behind it or we have this really weird need for some kind of psychological out in terms of a
49:38mystery creature that's like us but not like us i don't see much leeway between it has to be one of the
49:44two right there's some kind of phenomena going on like people are claiming to see stuff that you
49:50can't really conventionally explain at least some of them i'm in a place where it seems like there is
49:54some kind of reality behind it what that reality is that's the debate right and that's you know where
50:00you've got the flesh and blood you've got the paranormal and that that you know we're not even at
50:04that point yet we don't know what's going on but there's something going on
50:13there is something going on and it keeps the legend of bigfoot alive
50:21is it an animal is it a paranormal phenomenon or as alex suggested is it a psychological phenomenon
50:30whatever it is people are experiencing it
50:38many of the people i spoke with had experiences i'm inclined to believe they don't necessarily
50:45claim it was bigfoot they encountered they just have no other explanation for what it could be
50:53some of the other stories i heard well let's just say i'm extremely skeptical
51:00i don't necessarily doubt the sincerity of the speaker they might believe what they're saying but for me
51:07i need more substantial evidence for some of the claims i heard
51:14i'll leave it to you to decide which stories you might want to believe
