Holy Cow, It's Bigfoot

Narrator: ON THIS EPISODE OF "FINDING BIGFOOT"... THE TEAM FROM THE BIGFOOT FIELD RESEARCHERS ORGANIZATION SETS OFF FOR THE MOUNTAINOUS WILD OF NORTHERN UTAH... I THINK WE'RE IN A GREAT SPOT. ...TO EXAMINE AN EXPLOSIVE PIECE OF FOOTAGE THAT MAY SHINE NEW LIGHT ON THE EXISTENCE OF SASQUATCH. Levi: "HOLY COW. IT'S BIGFOOT." WITH AN OUTPOURING OF EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS AND TESTIMONIALS ABOUT A MYSTERIOUS CREATURE ROAMING THE DEEP CANYONS OF CACHE VALLEY, THE TEAM CLOSES IN ON A HOTSPOT OF ACTIVITY WHERE ONE OF THE MOST DISTINCTIVE CALLBACKS EVER... [ DEEP HOWL IN DISTANCE ] OH, YEAH. DID YOU HEAR THAT? ...JUST MAY PROVE NORTHERN UTAH IS HOME TO THESE MYSTIFYING CREATURES. THAT WAS NO COYOTE. JAMES: It was impossibly large. MAN: It definitely wasn't human. Matt: I'VE BEEN TRACKING SASQUATCHES FOR 25 YEARS. Cliff: THESE ANIMALS, IN FACT, ARE REAL. Bobo: I'VE SEEN THEM. THEY'RE HERE. Ranae: I'M HAVING A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS. Matt: THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE HILL! [ ROARS ] I DO THINK THERE'S A 'SQUATCH IN THESE WOODS. -- Captions by VITAC -- www.vitac.com CAPTIONS PAID FOR BY DISCOVERY COMMUNICATIONS Matt: WE'RE UP HERE IN THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF UTAH, VERY CLOSE TO WHERE WYOMING AND IDAHO BORDERS INTERSECT. THESE MOUNTAIN RANGES IN THE NORTHERN PART OF UTAH ARE LOADED WITH DEER AND ELK, AND THAT'S PROBABLY WHY THE BIGFOOTS ARE UP AND AROUND HERE. WE'VE COME UP HERE BECAUSE OF A VIDEO THAT WAS FILMED LAST YEAR. SOME KIDS WERE OUT CAMPING AND MESSING AROUND WITH A CAMPFIRE WHEN THEY RECORDED IT. IN THE BACKGROUND, A MYSTERIOUS FIGURE GETS UP AND WALKS AWAY. WHEN BIGFOOT RESEARCHERS SAW THAT VIDEO COME OUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO, A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE VERY SUSPICIOUS ABOUT IT, MYSELF INCLUDED, BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE THAT FIGURE VERY EASILY. MAYBE IT WAS JUST ANOTHER KID RUNNING IN THE BACKGROUND. BUT WE TOOK ANOTHER LOOK BECAUSE IT WAS CAUGHT IN THE SAME CANYON THAT THE LOCAL BFRO PEOPLE SAY THE MOST BIGFOOT ACTION HAPPENS IN. Matt: WELL, IT'S GREAT TO BE BACK IN UTAH. I'VE DONE TWO EXPEDITIONS HERE, BUT NEVER IN THE WINTER. LOOK AT THIS TERRAIN. IT IS JUST MAJESTIC. THESE MOUNTAINS ARE AMAZING. Cliff: THE TERRAIN IN UTAH IS EXTREMELY FORMIDABLE. THESE ARE THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS, AND THEY CALL THEM THAT FOR A REASON. THERE'S ROCKS EVERYWHERE. ROCKY OUTCROPPING AND CLIFF FACES -- VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TERRAIN TO GO NAVIGATING THROUGH. I KNOW SASQUATCHES LIVE HERE. THIS IS A VERY, VERY 'SQUATCHY ZONE. OKAY, HERE WE ARE. BUNCH OF TEENAGERS GOT A BOTTLE FULL OF GASOLINE. IN THIS PROCESS OF THIS KIND OF EXPERIMENT IN TEENAGE BRAVADO, YOU SEE SOMETHING MOVING IN THE BACKGROUND. IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A 'SQUATCH. I MEAN, I DON'T DOUBT THERE'S BIGFOOTS IN THE AREA, BUT JUST THE WAY IT MOVES, IT DOESN'T FLEE DIRECTLY AWAY FROM THE FIRE. IT KIND OF GOES PARALLEL. IT JUST LOOKS LIKE IT'S SO CLOSE. THEY WOULD HAVE SEEN IT. IF THERE WAS A SASQUATCH THERE, IT WOULD HAVE STOOD OUT TO THEM, WHEREAS IF IT WAS JUST ONE OF THEIR FRIENDS OR ANOTHER DRUNK PARTYER, IT WOULDN'T HAVE CAUGHT THEIR ATTENTION AT THE TIME. I WATCHED THIS VIDEO A LOT, AND MOSTLY BECAUSE I LIKE THE EXPLOSION SO MUCH. Young man: YEAH! I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE SUBJECT IN THE VIDEO DEPICTS, A PERSON OR A SASQUATCH, BUT THE AREA HAS A RICH HISTORY OF BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS. SO WE'RE HERE TO SEE, IS THIS THING BIGGER THAN ME? IS IT SMALLER THAN ME? IS IT A PERSON? IS IT A 'SQUATCH? SO, HOPEFULLY WE'RE GONNA FIND THAT OUT HERE. IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME, BECAUSE IF I'M AN ANIMAL WHO WANTS TO REMAIN HIDDEN, YOU'RE GONNA BE ELUSIVE, WHY AM I GONNA GO STAND 15 FEET NEXT TO A FIRE? Ranae: THESE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE THESE ELUSIVE, MYSTERIOUS CREATURES. IF I WANT TO REMAIN UNDETECTED, THE LAST THING I'M GONNA DO IS WALK UP TO A CAMPFIRE WHEN THERE'S A HALF-DOZEN YOUNG TEENAGERS, LET ALONE SETTING OFF A GASOLINE BOMB, PLAYING LOUD MUSIC. THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE FOR A SASQUATCH, LET ALONE ANY ANIMAL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT'S IN THAT VIDEO, BUT WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS KIND OF A BIGFOOTY SHAPE, YOU KNOW. IT SEEMS TO HAVE A LOW-LYING HEAD ON TOP OF THE SHOULDERS, KIND OF A HUNCHED-OVER POSTURE, AND IT SLOWLY MOVES OUT OF FRAME. Cliff: THE THING THAT MAKES ME THINK THAT THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A BIGFOOT IS THE SHAPE OF THE FIGURE ITSELF. IT IS CLEARLY BIPEDAL. IT LOOKS FAIRLY LARGE. IT MOVES FAIRLY SLOWLY, BUT YET, IT DOESN'T WASTE ANY TIME GETTING AWAY. ON THE SURFACE, THE VIDEO ITSELF IS NOT DEFINITIVE. BUT WHATEVER IS GOING ON IN THAT VIDEO, IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. IT'S TOO AMBIGUOUS JUST TO LEAVE ALONE. HI, LEVI. HEY. WHAT'S UP, BUD? SO, WE GO TO MEET LEVI AT THE LOCATION. YOU GET THERE, AND YOU CAN SEE WHY 'SQUATCHES WOULD BE IN THIS VALLEY. I MEAN, IT'S PERFECT 'SQUATCH HABITAT. SO, RIGHT OFF THE BAT, I'M THINKING, "OKAY, THERE'S A LITTLE MORE CREEDENCE TO THIS MAYBE BEING A SASQUATCH." OH. HERE'S THE FIRE PIT. OKAY. [ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ] WE JUST CAME UP HERE, HAVING SOME FUN. ONE OF US HAD THIS BOMB THAT WE SAW ONE OF OUR FRIENDS DO, SO WE THOUGHT, "HEY, WE'LL GIVE IT A TRY." SO WE BUILT UP A FIRE, GO AND PUT IT IN THE FIRE, STAND BACK. EVERYONE STANDS BACK, SO...THAT'S WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT WAS ACTUALLY A COMMENTER ON YouTube THAT POINTED IT OUT. "HOLY COW. IT'S BIGFOOT." YOU DIDN'T SEE THE FIGURE WHEN YOU WERE FILMING? NO, I WAS FOCUSED RIGHT ON THE FIRE, JUST AS EVERYONE ELSE WAS. Young man: YEAH! YOU REMEMBER HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE HERE THAT NIGHT, INCLUDING YOURSELF? OKAY. HOW COULD YOU KNOW THAT IT WASN'T ONE OF THEM WALKING BACK THERE? 'CAUSE I REMEMBER EVERYONE WAS STANDING ON THIS SIDE OF THE FIRE. SO THAT'S HOW YOU WERE SURE, BECAUSE IT WAS SUCH A DANGEROUS SITUATION. YOU WERE SURE EVERYONE WAS BEHIND YOU. YEAH. YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS EVER THINK THAT THERE MIGHT BE BIGFOOTS? WAS THERE ANY TALK ABOUT THAT BEFORE YOU GOT THAT VIDEO? NOT BEFORE. LIKE, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN TALKS OF, YOU KNOW, ME AND MY FRIEND, WE HAVE OUR THEORY THAT THE CANYON'S HAUNTED. THIS CANYON HAS A REPUTATION OF BEING HAUNTED. THAT'S A GOOD CLUE FOR US. BECAUSE IN A LOT OF OTHER PLACES IN THE COUNTRY WHERE WE KNOW THERE'S BEEN SIGHTING, THOSE PLACES ALSO HAVE A REPUTATION FOR BEING HAUNTED. MYSTERIOUS ACTIVITY HAPPENS AROUND THERE -- SOUNDS, ROCK-THROWING BY SOMETHING UNSEEN THAT THEY CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS. SO, THEY CALL IT HAUNTED, AND THEY STAY AWAY. WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME WHERE YOU THINK YOU WERE STANDING AT THAT POINT? Cliff: AFTER HEARING THE DETAILS SURROUNDING THE VIDEO, WE WANTED, OF COURSE, TO FIND OUT HOW LARGE THIS THING WAS. I'M GONNA THROW A LITTLE BIT OF THIS LIGHTER FLUID ON THERE AND WALK BACK WHERE I THINK IT WAS, AND YOU KIND OF PUT ME IN THE EXACT SPOT. READY? Cliff: ALL RIGHT, MAN. ROLLING. Bobo: WELL, THE ONE THING WE CAN DETERMINE FROM THIS RE-CREATION EVEN THOUGH IT WAS DIFFERENT CONDITIONS -- IT WAS WINTER. IT WAS DAYTIME. WE CAN FIND OUT WHERE IT WALKED IN RELATION TO THE TREES AROUND IT. WE HAVE SCALE. I WAS WITHIN JUST A FOOT OR TWO OF WHERE THIS THING WALKED, SO WE GOT A REAL GOOD IDEA OF HOW BIG IT WAS. OKAY, OVER HERE ON THE LEFT, WE SEE THE VIDEO WE JUST FILMED WITH BOBO WALKING. HERE'S THE ORIGINAL ON THE RIGHT. SO, IT SHOULD BE STANDING UP. THERE IT IS. AND YOU CAN SEE ALMOST THE FULL HEIGHT OF THE FIGURE HERE. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE TOP OF WHAT I'M INTERPRETING AS THE HEAD IS A LITTLE BIT ABOVE WHERE THIS BRIGHT TREE HERE BENDS, WHICH IS THIS TREE HERE. AND THAT'S ABOUT WHERE BOBO'S HEAD IS. IN FACT, BOBO LOOKS A LITTLE BIT TALLER. IT LOOKS TO ME LIKE THAT'S A PERSON. AFTER DOING A RE-CREATION USING THE EXACT SAME CAMCORDER, THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT'S EITHER ONE OF HIS FRIENDS WHO DIDN'T KNOW WHERE THEY WERE STANDING OR IT'S A CAMPER WHO HEARD THE RUCKUS, WALKED TWO MINUTES UP THE HILL TO CHECK IT OUT. THERE'S NO WAY THAT'S A SASQUATCH. IT'S A PERSON. THE THINGS I THINK IT HAS GOING FOR IT -- NUMBER ONE, THIS CANYON HAS A HISTORY OF SASQUATCH INCIDENTS. NUMBER TWO, THEY COULD -- THAT WAS IN THE DARK WHEN THIS HAPPENED. REMEMBER, THEY COULDN'T SEE IT THAT FAR OUT. SO A 'SQUATCH BEHAVIOR IS GONNA BE REGULATED NOT BY NECESSARILY HOW CLOSE IT IS BUT HOW CLOSE IT CAN GET AND STILL BE IN THE DARK. I THINK IF THERE WAS A PERSON WALKING AROUND THROUGH THERE, ANOTHER CAMPER OR SOMETHING, THEY WOULD HAVE NOTICED IT. Bobo: YEAH, BUT I DON'T SEE ANYTHING I CAN RULE OUT IT BEING A PERSON AT ALL. I MEAN, TO ME, I WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE MORE OF A DRUNK GUY WALKING UP HERE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON, JUST STAGGERING OFF THAT WAY. BUT IT COULD BE A 'SQUATCH. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T THINK WE'LL KNOW FOR SURE. NOW THAT WE'VE DONE THE RE-CREATION AND YOU'RE SEEING THE TWO VIDEOS SIDE BY SIDE, WHAT DO YOU THINK? Levi: I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT IS. I JUST KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT'S NOT ANY OF MY FRIENDS. YOU KNOW WHAT? I THINK THAT MAY BE A BIGFOOT. I THINK IT'S EVEN PROBABLY A BIGFOOT, AND I KNOW THIS AREA HAS A HISTORY, SO I THINK WE SHOULD STAY HERE TONIGHT, DO A NIGHT INVESTIGATION, MAKE SOME SOUNDS, SEE WHAT WE CAN FIND. WHETHER OR NOT LEVI'S FILM ACTUALLY SHOWS A SASQUATCH OR A HUMAN BEING ALMOST DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THIS VALLEY IS 'SQUATCHY. AND TO TOP IT ALL OFF, AT THE TOP OF THIS VALLEY, THERE IS A "HAUNTED" QUARRY WHERE ROCKS COME INTO CAMP AND THEY HEAR STRANGE SCREAMS. THIS SPOT CLEARLY HAS BIGFOOTS, AND WE CLEARLY NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT. Ranae: WELL, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS, BUT I'M REALLY EXCITED TO BE HERE IN UTAH. IT'S HIGH ALPINE COUNTRY. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A HISTORY OF SASQUATCH ACTIVITY. AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S ELK IN THIS AREA, AND THAT'S WHERE THE SASQUATCH SHOULD BE. I THINK WE'RE READY. LET'S GO. Ranae: OUR PLAN TONIGHT IS TO BREAK INTO TEAMS OF TWO. MATT AND BOBO, THEY'RE GONNA TAKE ONE OF THE "Y"s. IT GOES UP TO SOME CAVES THAT ARE ON THE SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THIS RIDGE. CLIFF AND I, WE WANT TO GO TO THIS QUARRY. IT'S SUPPOSEDLY HAUNTED. WE NEED TO GO THERE AND CHECK THAT OUT. OH, THERE IT IS. WE'RE GONNA GET ABOVE THIS LITTLE SNOW LINE PRETTY SOON. YOU SEE THE HILLSIDE IN BACK OF US? BECAUSE IT SLOPES DOWN LIKE THAT, THE SUN IS GONNA BAKE THAT AREA LONGER, RAISE THE TEMPERATURE, MELT THE SNOW, AND GIVE THE 'SQUATCHES A PLACE TO RUN AROUND WITHOUT MAKING TRACKS. THIS IS GONNA BE A GOOD PLACE TO HOWL. WELL, I'LL RADIO THOSE GUYS, LET THEM KNOW YOU'RE GONNA HOWL. THEN I THINK WE SHOULD JUST KICK BACK, MAKE LIKE A 'SQUATCH. I'M GONNA BE LIKE THE 'SQUATCH, LOOK LIKE THE 'SQUATCH, THINK LIKE THE 'SQUATCH, ACT LIKE THE 'SQUATCH. OKAY, RADIO THEM LIKE A 'SQUATCH. ALL RIGHT, RANAE AND CLIFF, HERE COMES A WHOOP FROM MATTHEW. RANAE: Okay. Go for it. [ INHALES DEEPLY ] [ HOWLS ] BOBO: Does Cliff want to do a scream? WANT ME TO? SURE. OKAY. ONE SCREAM IN 10. Copy. [ SIGHS ] [ SCREAMS ] [ HOWLING IN DISTANCE ] I THINK I'M HEARING SOMETHING. I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE WIND. THOSE ARE HOWLS. [ ROARS ] [ ROARS ] Matt: WE'VE TRAVELED TO THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTHERN UTAH TO EXAMINE A PIECE OF FOOTAGE THAT PURPORTS TO SHOW A BIGFOOT. AFTER CLOSER EXAMINATION, WE'RE UNABLE TO AGREE ON WHAT THE FOOTAGE ACTUALLY SHOWS. BUT THIS CANYON HAS BOTH HAUNTED ACTIVITY AND BIGFOOT REPORTS, SO WE'VE DECIDED TO SET UP FOR A NIGHT INVESTIGATION. I HEARD SOMETHING. [ HOWLING IN DISTANCE ] I DON'T THINK THAT'S THE WIND. THOSE ARE HOWLS. WHICH DIRECTION? OVER THERE. LET'S RADIO THEM TO SEE IF THEY HEARD IT, AS WELL. RANAE FOR BOBO. BOBO: Did you call me, Ranae? RANAE: Cliff heard what was kind of a high-pitched howl. HE'S NOT SURE IF IT WAS A COYOTE OR NOT. DID YOU GUYS HEAR THAT? WE DID, TOO. I VAGUELY HEARD SOMETHING COMING FROM DOWN THE CANYON AND UP, SO TO THE NORTHWEST. BUT I COULDN'T MAKE IT OUT. WE'RE RIGHT NEXT TO A CREEK. RANAE: Yeah, we're hearing things. We're gonna definitely head down towards that direction. YOU READY, BUDDY? NO WAY. NO WAY. DUDE, THIS AIN'T -- OH, THIS AIN'T NATURAL. CHECK THIS OUT, MATT. THERE'S A STRUCTURE HERE. THAT AIN'T NO WINDFALL. Matt: WAS IS IT? IT'S LIKE A LITTLE PUP TENT BUT MADE OF STICKS. LOOK INSIDE. SHINE THE LIGHT IN. I'M LOOKING FOR HAIR. IS THAT A SPACE WHERE SOMETHING COULD CRAWL INSIDE? OH, YOU COULD DEFINITELY BE IN THERE. THAT'S WHY I'M SAYING I'M NOT SURE. IF YOU'RE DOING A HUNTING BLIND, YOU JUST BUILD IT ON ONE SIDE, NOT TWO. AS WE WERE COMING BACK DOWN THE HILL, WE FOUND A CRUDE SHELTER MADE OUT OF STICKS. SOMETHING HAD BEEN USING IT FOR HABITATION TO GET OUT OF THE RAIN AND THE WIND, ET CETERA. RANAE, DO YOU COPY? YEAH, GO AHEAD, BOBES. YEAH, WE FOUND A REAL NEAT STRUCTURE. BOBO: Thinking you guys might want to come check it out IF YOU'RE JUST NOT THAT FAR BELOW US. WE'RE PRETTY CLOSE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CANYON NOW. WE'LL HEAD YOUR WAY. Matt: WE LOOKED AROUND A LITTLE BIT MORE. BOBO FOUND A FIRE RING THERE. SO, YEAH, IT WAS PROBABLY A HUMAN THAT BUILT IT, BUT IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS UNFINISHED, AND IT LOOKED LIKE SOMETHING A BIGFOOT COULD GET UNDERNEATH. Ranae: HELLO, GUYS. HEY. SO, THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING THING WE FOUND. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY HUMAN-BUILT, BUT A 'SQUATCH COULD USE IT. YEAH, SO THERE'S A LOT OF FACTORS HERE. WE GOT A WARM AIR POCKET. WE GOT COYOTES. WE'VE GOT A HISTORY HERE. I'M THINKING OF STAYING OUT HERE TONIGHT. ALL OF THE LITTLE "MAYBES" OUT HERE TONIGHT, FINDING THE SHELTER, HEARING COYOTES, THE HISTORY OF SIGHTINGS HERE, THEY'RE ADDING UP TO A "PROBABLY" FOR ME. WHILE THE REST OF THE TEAM MEETS WITH EYEWITNESSES, I'M GONNA STAY OUT HERE AND SEE IF I CAN FIND MORE EVIDENCE OF BIGFOOT ACTIVITY. ALL RIGHT. GOT MY TENT TUCKED UP RIGHT UNDERNEATH A JUNIPER. IT'S THE SORT OF PLACE A BIGFOOT WOULD MAKE ITS LITTLE NEST. SO, I'M GONNA MAKE SOME NOISE HERE TONIGHT AND SEE IF ANYTHING WILL COME DOWN AND CHECK ME OUT. [ EXHALES, INHALES DEEPLY ] [ HOWLS ] [ HOWLS ] [ HOWLS ] I'VE DONE A BUNCH OF HOWLS. THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ELSE TO DO BUT JUST WAIT, SO I'M GONNA GO INSIDE THE TENT. I'LL FALL ASLEEP. I DO SNORE, BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING, BECAUSE IF A BIGFOOT COMES AROUND IF HE HEARS SNORING, IT'S GONNA KNOW I'M ASLEEP. IT'S GONNA KNOW ITS SAFE TO CRUISE AROUND AND INSPECT THE CAMP. SO, I'M GONNA KEEP MY FINGERS CROSSED THAT THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN. [ CRICKETS CHIRPING ] Bobo: WE KNOW WE WERE IN A GOOD SPOT LAST NIGHT. THERE'S A HISTORY OF 'SQUATCH SIGHTINGS AND ACTIVITY THERE, BUT THEY JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN THERE. WHO KNOWS? WE'LL SEE WHAT MATT GOT SPENDING THE NIGHT THERE. WHILE MATT IS OUT EXPLORING THESE CANYONS AND OTHER ONES NEARBY, THE REST OF US ARE GONNA GO INTO TOWN AND HAVE A TOWN-HALL MEETING TO FIND OUT WHERE THE SASQUATCHES MIGHT BE THIS TIME OF YEAR. THIS AREA OF THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS IS VAST. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY KENNINGS. WE SIMPLY DO NOT HAVE THE TIME TO GO EXPLORING EACH AND EVERY ONE ADEQUATELY, SO WE HAVE TO NARROW OUR FOCUS PRETTY SOON IN THIS INVESTIGATION OR WE'RE NOT GONNA FIND THE SASQUATCHES. I'M CLIFF BARACKMAN FROM PORTLAND, OREGON. I'VE GOT TO SAY -- I'VE WANTED TO COME BIGFOOTING IN UTAH FOR A LONG, LONG TIME. I'VE OFTEN CHECKED OUT THE AREA FROM AERIAL SATELLITE PHOTOGRAPHS AND WHATNOT AND THOUGHT, YOU KNOW, "THEY'VE GOT TO BE HERE." PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND IF YOU HAVE SEEN OR YOU THINK YOU HAVE HEARD A SASQUATCH AT SOME POINT AROUND HERE IN UTAH. I WAS UP HERE WITH MY FAMILY, CAMPING. I GOT SICK. WALKED UP THE HILL TO ANOTHER CAMPGROUND. AS I WAS THROWING UP, I HEARD SOMETHING WALKING BEHIND ME. AND I TURN AROUND. I SAW THE LEGS OF AN OBJECT. WE STARED BACK AND FORTH, AND IT WAS GONE. I WAS UP WITH MY GRANDMA AND GRANDPA AND COUSIN UP IN CHRISTMAS MEADOWS, CAMPING. WE WERE GOING TO GO OUT JUST TO LOOK FOR MOOSE, AND I SAW THIS PITCH-BLACK EIGHT-FOOT-TALL CREATURE STANDING BY A TREE, AND HE WAS HOLDING ON THE TREE AND KIND OF, LIKE, LOOKING AT ME. Bryce: I WAS OUT DEER HUNTING IN THE WELLSVILLE MOUNTAINS JUST IN THE FOOTHILLS. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEAR BRANCHES BREAKING AND CRASHING COMING DOWN THAT DIRECTION. I LOOK DOWN, AND THERE WAS JUST A BIG, BLACK SHAPE MOVING THROUGH THE TREES. AND YOU COULD SEE MUSCULATURE IN THE ARMS. YOU COULD SEE ABDOMINALS. YOU COULD SEE PECS. Man: I WAS HUNTING. I HEARD A CALL IN THE DISTANCE, AND I IMITATED IT. I STARTED DOING THIS. [ WHISTLE SOUND ] MADE WHATEVER SOUND THEY WOULD MAKE, I WOULD IMITATE IT. I MEAN, THERE WAS, LIKE... [ CHITTERS ] AND THEY WOULD CHATTER BACK AND FORTH. [ CHITTERS ] Joe: I PLOW SNOW UP LOGAN CANYON. AS I CAME AROUND THE CURVE... I SAW THIS BIG THING STANDING NEXT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND IT ONLY TOOK HIM THREE OR FOUR STEPS AND HE WAS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE ROAD. HE TURNED AND LOOKED AT ME. AND I WAS LOOKING RIGHT IN HIS EYES. [ ROARS ] Narrator: COMING UP... [ HOWLS ] [ DEEP HOWL IN DISTANCE ] THAT WAS A 'SQUATCH. [ ROARS ] Matt: THE TEAM AND I ARE IN UTAH TO INVESTIGATE WHETHER BIGFOOTS LIVE IN THIS AREA. WHILE I'M OUT ON A SOLO INVESTIGATION, THE REST OF THE TEAM HAS TRAVELED TO TOWN TO HEAR COMPELLING EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS THAT INDICATE THAT SASQUATCHES MAY BE LIVING IN THE CANYONS AROUND CACHE COUNTY. BLACKSMITH. I SAW A LEFT-HAND FORK. Cliff: AFTER PLOTTING ALL THE SIGHTINGS THAT CAME UP DURING THE TOWN-HALL MEETING, WE DID NOT SEE THE NORMAL CLUSTER THAT WE SEE IN SO MANY OTHER PLACES. HOWEVER, THERE WAS A PATTERN. NEARLY ALL OF THESE ENCOUNTERS HAPPENED IN THESE DEEP CANYONS THAT CARVE BACK INTO THE MOUNTAINS. THE SASQUATCHES HERE, OR AT LEAST THE PEOPLE THAT ENCOUNTER THEM, ARE CERTAINLY USING THE CANYONS FREQUENTLY. TWO STORIES REALLY STOOD OUT TO US, AND THOSE ARE THE ONES WE'RE GONNA INVESTIGATE. Matt: I'M UP HERE LOOKING AROUND TO SEE IF THERE'S INDICATIONS THAT 'SQUATCHES MIGHT BE IN HERE. AND I'M LOOKING FOR CAVES BECAUSE THIS CANYON HAS THE RIGHT CONFIGURATION OF WHAT 'SQUATCHES LIKE. LOOK AT THIS. SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY LAYS DOWN HERE. TRYING TO FIND HAIRS UP HERE. [ SNIFFS ] [ SNIFFS ] [ SNIFFS ] IT SMELLS GRASSY. YEAH, SOMETHING DEFINITELY LAID DOWN HERE, AND THAT'S... THERE'S ONLY GONNA BE TWO THINGS THAT ARE GONNA MAKE THIS MATTED-DOWN THING. IT'S GONNA BE EITHER A MOUNTAIN LION OR A 'SQUATCH. Cliff: I WAS RECENTLY CONTACTED BY A FOLKLORIST AT UTAH STATE UNIVERSITY NAMED DR. LYNNE McNEILL. BEFORE INVESTIGATING OUR EYEWITNESS SIGHTINGS, WE'RE GONNA MEET UP WITH HER. SHE'S INVITED THE TEAM TO THE ARCHIVES THEMSELVES, WHERE SHE'S BEEN GATHERING LOCAL FOLKLORE STORIES. MANY OF THESE STORIES CONTAIN BIGFOOT ENCOUNTERS. FOLKLORE DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE TO DO WITH THINGS THAT ARE FALSE OR MADE UP. FOLKLORE IS SIMPLY WORD-OF-MOUTH STORIES TOLD WITHIN A CULTURE. DR. McNEILL HAS STORIES DATING BACK DECADES FROM THIS AREA. THAT'S LIKE HAVING A FOUR-DECADE-LONG TOWN-HALL MEETING. WHAT COULD BE MORE BENEFICIAL THAN THAT? HERE WE HAVE 53 BIGFOOT STORIES THAT HAVE BEEN GATHERED OVER THE YEARS, AND IT SPANS FROM 1970 TO 2000. AND I ALSO PULLED OUT STORIES THAT WEREN'T CLASSIFIED SPECIALLY AS BIGFOOT BUT THAT REFERENCE AN APE MAN OR A LARGE GIANT OR FOOTPRINTS THAT HAVE BEEN FOUND OR UNEXPLAINED SIGHTING IN FORESTS AND STUFF. BY READING THESE STORIES, WE CAN EVEN FURTHER NARROW OUR SEARCH AREA. SHE'S PROVIDED US STORIES THAT GO BACK 60 YEARS. NOW WE'RE GONNA LEARN PATTERNS AND BEHAVIOR FROM THE SASQUATCH THAT LIVES IN NORTHERN UTAH. Cliff: THIS SAYS PROVIDENCE CANYON IS SAID TO BE INHABITED BY A LARGE CREATURE THAT ATTACKS PEOPLE DRIVING MOTOR VEHICLES. ALL THE WAY BACK IN '77. WOW. Ranae: HERE'S A COUPLE AROUND A CAMPFIRE. CHERRY CREEK ROAD. SCREAMS COMING OUT OF THE CANYON TERRIFIED THEM. WOW. 1984. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE. A STRONG ODOR THAT MADE SOMEBODY NAUSEATED. I HAVE HERE, THIS IS A REPORT LOCALLY OF TWO HUNTERS WHO WERE OUT CHECKING THEIR TRAPS. "WE HAD JUST STARTED TO EAT A SANDWICH "WHEN WE HEARD A HIGH, THROATY SCREAM. "WE BOTH LOOKED AT EACH OTHER AND ALMOST SIMULTANEOUSLY SAID, "'WHAT WAS THAT?' "WE'VE BEEN IN THE TRAPPING GAME "FOR A COMBINED TIME OF ALMOST 20 YEARS, AND NEVER BEFORE HAD EITHER OF US HEARD SUCH A SOUND." Bobo: SASQUATCH IS REAL. IT DOESN'T TAKE SOME PhD TO AUTHENTICATE IT TO ME. I'VE SEEN THEM. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE SEEN THEM. PEOPLE HAVE THIS MISPERCEPTION THAT FOLKLORE MEANS "NOT REAL." BUT THERE WAS FOLKLORE ABOUT GIANT PANDAS. THE NATIVES ALL KNEW ABOUT THEM. GIANT SQUID -- FISHERMEN REPORTED SEEING THEM FOR CENTURIES. BUT JUST 'CAUSE SOME NERD SCIENTIST HADN'T SEEN IT, IT "WASN'T REAL." SASQUATCH IS THE SAME WAY. THIS VISIT WITH YOU HAS BEEN ENLIGHTENING AND INFORMATIVE. THIS IS A FANTASTIC RESOURCE. Ranae: THAT'S GREAT, LYNNE. THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING TO SEE US. GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT. I SEE A BONE. HELLO. WHAT WAS THIS? [ SNIFFS ] THAT'S THE JAW OF A YOUNG DEER. SOMETHING ATE THIS. COULD BE A MOUNTAIN LION. COULD BE A 'SQUATCH. I'D ACTUALLY FEEL SAFER UP HERE IF IT WAS A 'SQUATCH DOING IT RATHER THAN A KITTY CAT. OH, ANOTHER BONE. Yeah, this is another predator area. THAT WAS THE HOOF OF AN ELK. OH-HO-HO, THIS COULD BE A BIGFOOT KILL. [ ROARS ] [ ROARS ] Matt: OUR QUEST TO DISCOVER WHETHER OR NOT BIGFOOTS EXIST IN THE MOUNTAINS OF UTAH HAS LED THE TEAM TO A NUMBER OF CREDIBLE REPORTS. MEANWHILE, I'M OUT ON A SOLO INVESTIGATION, AND I MAY HAVE JUST COME ACROSS A POSSIBLE SASQUATCH FEEDING SITE. THIS LEG WAS NOT BROKEN. THIS LEG'S GONE. ONE REAR LEG. TWO REAR LEGS. THIS ELK HAS PROBABLY BEEN HERE AT LEAST A YEAR. SOMETHING BROUGHT IT OVER HERE. AND THERE'S ALL KINDS OF INDICATION THAT SOMETHING HAS BEEN EATING A LOT OF STUFF UNDER THESE JUNIPERS. THIS VERY WELL COULD BE A BIGFOOT KILL. Bryce: I'M ON MY WAY TO MEET WITH BRYCE, THE RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATE FROM THE TOWN-HALL MEETING. HE WAS OUT HUNTING ONE DAY WHEN HE CLAIMS TO HAVE SEEN A BIGFOOT. I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN THIS SIGHTING BECAUSE ACCORDING TO THE WITNESS, HE COULD CLEARLY SEE MUSCLE DETAIL THAT SOUNDED VERY MUCH LIKE A BIGFOOT. Bobo: SO, HOW OFTEN DO YOU HUNT OUT HERE? I'VE HUNTED THE OTHER END A FEW TIMES. THIS WAS ABOUT THE SECOND TIME I CAME HERE. I WALKED ALONG THIS HILLSIDE HERE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEARD BRANCHES BREAKING... [ WOOD CRACKING ] ...AND CRASHES COMING FROM THAT RAVINE. AND I PUT MY BINOCULARS UP. I LOOKED OVER THERE, AND I SAW SOMETHING BLACK JUST CRUISING. AND I COULD SEE IT WAS ON TWO LEGS. IT CAME RUNNING THROUGH THIS BRUSH AND CRASHED INTO THIS CLEARING. WENT OVER THE TOP AND WAS GONE INTO THE TREES. ABOUT WHEN IT DISAPPEARED BEHIND THAT RIDGE, I GRABBED MY RIFLE AND I WAS GONE. YEAH. Bobo: WHEN I SAW MY FIRST BIGFOOT, I WAS LOOKING FOR IT. THAT WAS OVERWHELMING. SO I COULD JUST IMAGINE BEING A KID NOT EVEN REALLY KNOWING ABOUT BIGFOOT, ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU SEE THIS GIANT -- WHAT HE THINKS IS PROBABLY A MONSTER -- RUNNING FASTER THAN HE'S EVER SEEN. IN THE DISTANCE IT COVERED, IT COULD HAVE GOT TO HIM IN ABOUT 30 SECONDS. HEY, BRYCE. CAN YOU SEE ME? BRYCE: Yeah, I can see you. BOBO: Am I in the general area? YOU'RE IN JUST ABOUT THE RIGHT SPOT. HOW BIG DO I LOOK COMPARED TO IT? IT WAS JUST ABOUT A FOOT TALLER THAN YOU WERE. SO THAT WOULD PUT IT ABOUT 7½ RANGE. WAS IT STANDING UPRIGHT WHEN YOU SAW IT? IT WAS RUNNING WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A HUNCH. Bobo: IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE MUCH WHEN YOU GOT THERE. I'M LIKE, "OH, WALKED ON THAT LITTLE HILL OVER THERE," AND I GET TO THAT LITTLE HILL, AND IT'S JUST LIKE 40-FOOT HIGH, STEEP ALMOST LIKE A CLIFF LIKE THIS WITH REAL LOOSE ROCK. AN OLYMPIC ATHLETE COULDN'T RUN ACROSS THAT. WITH YOU BEING A CREDIBLE WITNESS, THAT THING BEING AT LEAST A FOOT TALLER THAN ME, THE THICKNESS OF IT, THE AMOUNT OF GAME I SAW DOWN IN THERE, I MEAN, IT HAD TO BE A 'SQUATCH. I'M NOT EVEN GONNA ASK YOU IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE. IT HAD TO BE A 'SQUATCH. THAT'S THE ONLY THING IT CAN BE IN MY MIND IS BIGFOOT. I WISH WE WOULD HAVE GOT THAT REPORT RIGHT AWAY, BECAUSE ALL THAT THISTLE AND DEVIL'S CLUB DOWN IN THERE, THERE HAD TO BE BIGFOOT HAIR EVERYWHERE THROUGH THERE WHERE IT RAN. THERE HAD TO BE. [ GROWLING ] Cliff: RANAE AND I HAVE JOINED BACK UP WITH BOBO AND ARE ON OUR WAY TO MEET WITH JOE, THE SNOW-PLOW OPERATOR. JOE GOT A GREAT LOOK AT A BIGFOOT RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM AT CLOSE RANGE IN BRIGHT LIGHT. THAT'S RARE. JOE SEEMS LIKE A NO-NONSENSE KIND OF GUY. HE'S CLEARLY A SOBER INDIVIDUAL WHO TAKES HIS JOB SERIOUSLY AND DOES IT ON A REGULAR BASIS. I HAVE FULL FAITH IN HIS OBSERVATIONAL SKILLS. YEAH, HE CAME ACROSS AS REAL CREDIBLE. ON THE WAY TO DO JOE'S RE-CREATION, WE'RE GONNA PICK UP MATT. SEE, JOE WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, AND HE KNOWS ALL THE ROADS IN THE AREA, AND HE GREW UP RIGHT OUTSIDE OF THESE MOUNTAINS. HE KNOWS THE TERRAIN HERE. WE WANT MATT TO BE WITH US FOR THAT. THERE'S NANOOK. DID YOU GET SOMETHING? NO, DIDN'T GET ANYTHING ON CAMERA OR ANYTHING, BUT THESE MOUNTAINS ARE FULL OF LIFE. THERE'S A LOT OF DEER, A LOT OF ELK UP HERE. FOUND SOME ELK CARCASSES. Matt: TO ME, IT WOULD MAKE PERFECT SENSE THAT BIGFOOTS WOULD BE IN THESE MOUNTAINS. THERE'S A WHOLE WORLD ABOUT 100 OR 200 FEET ABOVE THESE ROADS WHERE PEOPLE JUST AREN'T GONNA GO. BUT DEER AND ELK WILL BE UP THERE, AND THAT'S THE FOOD FOR BIGFOOTS. Ranae: WELL, ONE OF THE REPORTS WE HAD AT TOWN HALL THAT I PARTICULARLY LIKED WAS FROM JOE. HE'S A D.O.T. DRIVERS, GOES THROUGH LOGAN CANYON PLOWING. HE GOT A REALLY GOOD LOOK AT IT. REALLY? OKAY. YEAH, I'D LOVE TO SEE WHERE THAT HAPPENED AND TALK TO HIM ABOUT HIS INCIDENT. WELL, LET'S LOAD UP. OKAY. GREAT. Bobo: SO, WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO MEET WITH JOE. HE SEES WHERE ALL THE ANIMALS TRACKS ARE IN THE SNOW WHEN HE'S PLOWING THE ROADS. HE KNOWS WHERE THEY'RE MOVING AND WHEN, AND HE KNOWS ALL THESE ROADS AROUND HERE AND HOW YOU CAN GET INTO THEM AND WHICH ONES YOU CAN'T GET INTO. WHEN I WAS COMING DOWN, HE WAS STANDING RIGHT OVER THERE RIGHT AGAINST THE GUARD RAIL. THIS ONE PARTICULAR NIGHT, IT HAD SNOWED ABOUT THREE INCHES. AS I CAME AROUND THE CORNER, I COULD SEE THIS THING STANDING AGAINST THE GUARD RAIL. HE TURNED AND LOOKED RIGHT AT ME. AND I COULD SEE HIS EYES. I MEAN, IT WAS LIKE HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT IN MY EYES. [ SNARLS ] [ ROARS ] Narrator: THE ANSWER COMING UP. Narrator: THE ANSWER IS "FALSE." ALTHOUGH LUCAS CLAIMS THE TWO HAVE NO RELATION, THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN A WOOKIEE AND A BIGFOOT HAVE STIRRED UP QUITE A DEBATE. [ ROARS ] Matt: THE TEAM AND I HAVE COME TO UTAH IN PURSUIT OF BIGFOOTS. ALONG THE WAY, WE'VE UNCOVERED A SURPRISING NUMBER OF EYEWITNESS REPORTS, INCLUDING ONE FROM JOE, A SNOW-PLOW DRIVER WHO HAD A VERY CLEAR VISUAL WHILE PLOWING A CANYON ROAD. Joe: HE TURNED AND LOOKED RIGHT AT ME. AND I COULD SEE HIS EYES. I MEAN, IT WAS LIKE HE WAS LOOKING RIGHT IN MY EYES. [ SNARLS ] HE KEPT ON GOING, AND I KEPT ON GOING, AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO TONY GROVE, I STARTED THINKING ABOUT WHAT I REALLY SAW. WHAT COLOR WAS THE FUR? WHAT DID YOU SEE IN THE FUR COLOR? IT WAS PROBABLY A MEDIUM BROWN. OKAY. IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF DIFFERENT COLORS, BUT THE MAIN COLOR WAS A MEDIUM BROWN, REAL LONG HAIR. ONE THING THAT YOU SAID AT THE TOWN HALL THAT REALLY STOOD OUT FOR ME IS THAT IT CLEARED THE HIGHWAY IN THREE TO FOUR STEPS. IT DID. AND THAT'S FROM ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO COMPLETELY CLEARING THE OTHER SIDE. Cliff: JOE NOTICED NOT ONLY THE SIZE OF THE INDIVIDUAL, BUT HE ALSO WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO COUNT THE STEPS THAT IT TOOK AS IT CROSSED THE ROAD. SO WE HAD BOBO TRY TO CROSS THE SAME STRIP OF ROAD THAT EXISTED AT THAT TIME IN FOUR STEPS OR LESS. ALL RIGHT, MAN. HIT IT. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE, SIX. GOT TO TAKE BIGGER STEPS THAN THAT. HEY, JOE. HOW DID I LOOK SIZE-WISE? You're tiny compared to him. WHAT I SAW IS ABOUT MAYBE A FOOT HIGHER THAN WHAT BOBO IS. WHEN HE TURNED AND LOOKED AT ME, IT WAS EYE LEVEL TO EYE LEVEL. JOE SAW A FIGURE THAT WAS A FOOT TALLER THAN BOBO THAT CLEARED THE HIGHWAY IN TWO LESS STEPS. IF SASQUATCH ARE REAL, WHY WOULD IT STEP OUT IN FRONT OF A SNOW PLOW? THEY'RE LOUD. THEY'RE BRIGHT. IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO ME. JOE, DOING THE RE-CREATION HERE, HAVING BOBO STAND IN PLACE FOR THE FIGURE, DOES THAT CONFIRM THAT YOU SAW A SASQUATCH AND COMPLETELY RULE OUT A PERSON? YES. AS BIG AS HE IS, THIS THING WAS EVEN BIGGER. SO, IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE A PERSON? IMPOSSIBLE. I THINK JUST BASED ON THE NUMBER OF STEPS IT TOOK ALONE, LET ALONE THE SIZE, I MEAN, THAT REALLY STRONGLY POINTS TO A SASQUATCH. I FEEL VERY CONFIDENT IN SAYING THAT JOE HAPPENED TO STUMBLE ACROSS A BIGFOOT THAT NIGHT IN HIS RIG. OVER HALF OF ALL BIGFOOT ENCOUNTERS HAPPEN ON LONELY ROADS AT NIGHT, AND THAT'S JOE'S LIVING. HE DRIVES LONELY ROADS ALL NIGHT LONG. SO, JOE, I BET YOU KNOW THESE CANYONS REALLY WELL AND KNOW ALL THE WATER COURSES AND HOW THE RIDGE LINES CONNECT. YOU COULD PROBABLY HELP US FIGURE OUT THE LAY OF THE LAND HERE AND HELP US FIGURE OUT WHERE WE SHOULD GO NEXT. Matt: AFTER BEING AT JOE'S LOCATION, I DON'T HAVE ANY DOUBT WHATSOEVER. HE SAW BIGFOOT. HE'S ALSO VERY FAMILIAR WITH THIS AREA, SO WE BROUGHT JOE OVER TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE MAPS, AND THAT'S WHEN I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE LOCATIONS OF THE DIFFERENT REPORTS THAT THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT AT THE TOWN-HALL MEETING. AND, INDEED, THERE WAS A LOT OF SIGHTINGS IN THESE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE DEER AND ELK ARE. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET AROUND IN HERE? A LITTLE BIT. AND YOU KNOW THE ROUTES YEAH. THIS TIME OF YEAR, ANIMALS ARE MOVING SOUTHWARD. JOE SAYS THEY'RE MOVING TOWARDS HARDWARE RANCH. HARDWARE RANCH IS A BIG, PRIVATE PARCEL OF LAND ON WHICH THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY PUTS FOOD OUT TO KEEP THE DEER AND ELK OUT OF TOWN DOWN BELOW WHERE THE GRASSLANDS ARE. HOW WOULD WE GET AROUND, SEARCH AROUND FOR TRACKS AND STUFF OUT THERE? YOU KNOW, I KNOW A GUY THAT'S GOT SOME SNOWMOBILES. WE COULD PROBABLY GET THOSE AND GO OUT THERE. YEAH. Bobo: NICE. WE CAN CERTAINLY USE AN EXTRA SET OF EYES. WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME? SURE. I'D LOVE TO COME. Matt: EXCELLENT. THE ISSUE WITH HARDWARE RANCH IS THE ELEVATION. THE WHOLE AREA'S UNDER SNOW AND SO ARE THE ROADS THAT LEAD TO IT. THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO GET IN THERE IS SNOWMOBILES. WE'RE GONNA BE KEEPING AN EYE OUT FOR ANIMAL PRINTS OF ALL SORTS. NOT JUST BIGFOOT PRINTS, BUT ELK AND DEER AND ANYTHING ELSE IN THE AREA, AS WELL. WE SHOULD SEE THEM CONVERGING IN THE CERTAIN CORRIDORS THAT THEY USE TO GET TO THE RANCH. IF WE CAN FIND THE CANYON THAT THEY'RE TRAVELING THROUGH, THEN THAT NARROWS DOWN OUR FOCUS EVEN FURTHER. [ ENGINES REVVING ] Ranae: I'M HAVING A BLAST RIDING ON THIS SLED. GROWING UP IN SOUTH DAKOTA, IT WAS SOMETHING I DID AS A KID. AND I'M REALLY EXCITED TO USE THIS TECHNIQUE TO GO LOOKING FOR SASQUATCH. Bobo: YOU'RE ABLE TO COVER A LOT OF GROUND. WE SAW WHERE THE DEER AND ELK WERE MOVING. THEY WERE HEADING INTO HARDWARE RANCH. WE WERE LOOKING FOR 'SQUATCH TRACKS. WE DIDN'T FIND ANY OF THOSE. BUT WE WERE ABLE TO SEE WHERE A 'SQUATCH WOULD BE. WE WERE ABLE TO SCOUT OUT THE TERRAIN. WE WERE ABLE TO GET RIGHT WHERE WE NEEDED TO BE FOR OUR FINAL NIGHT INVESTIGATION. EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE OVER THE LAST WEEK HAS LED US HERE, AND WE HAVE A LOCAL WITH US WHO KNOWS THE TERRAIN, KNOWS THE HABITS OF THE ANIMALS. THAT IS SUPER-HELPFUL FOR ALL OF US. WELL, IF THERE'S GONNA BE ONE, IT'S GONNA BE IN THE HARDWARE RANCH AREA. Cliff: ALL RIGHT. Matt: FOR THIS NIGHT INVESTIGATION, WE'RE DOING SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT. WE'RE BRINGING ALONG A WITNESS. THE TWO TEAMS ARE GONNA SPLIT UP AND GO IN TWO DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS SO THAT WE CAN MAKE CALLS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY'RE COMING FROM DIFFERENT POSITIONS. WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST THAT TENDS TO ELICIT RESPONSES BETTER THAN JUST SOUNDS COMING FROM ONE SPOT. Matt: IT'S ICY. Cliff: LOOK AT THAT. A WHOLE HERD OF DEER JUST MOVE THROUGH HERE. THEY'RE HEADED THAT DIRECTION, ACTUALLY. Joe: OH, THERE'S PLENTY OF THEM, AREN'T THERE? YEAH, THERE'S AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX DEER MOVING ALL THROUGHOUT RIGHT HERE. GOOD DEAL. HOW ABOUT I DO A WHISTLE, A REAL LOUD WHISTLE THAT WILL SOUND LIKE AN ELK INSTEAD OF A REGULAR BIGFOOT CALL? 'CAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO SCARE THE ELK AWAY. BOBO AND RANAE, DO YOU COPY? RANAE: Go ahead, Matt. WHAT I WANT TO DO IS MAKE A LOUD WHISTLE, AND HOPEFULLY I'LL GET AN ELK TO RESPOND. ALL RIGHT. WE'LL BE LISTENING. [ WHISTLES ] THERMAL. WHERE? SEE THE -- THERE'S A DEER ON THE RIGHT, AND THERE'S SOMETHING BENDING DOWN RIGHT THERE, TOO. YEAH. AWESOME. WE THINK THAT'S A DEER. I'M GONNA WALK OVER THERE. YEAH. GO FLUSH IT, MATT. ON THAT HILL. TELL ME LEFT OR RIGHT, IF I'M GETTING NEAR IT. STRAIGHT AT IT, DUDE. TO THE RIGHT. RIGHT. THERE YOU GO. Joe: THERE HE GOES. OH, AND IT'S RUNNING AWAY FROM YOU. AWESOME. YEAH. YEAH. THAT'S SO COOL. NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE OUT HERE, IT'S ALWAYS AWESOME. REALLY HOPING SOMETHING HAPPENS TONIGHT, BOBES. [ SNIFFS ] CLIFF: Hey, listen, when we were coming up here, we were therming and we could see deer, you know, up on the bare hillside. Have you guys seen anything through your therm? YEAH, I MIGHT BE LOOKING AT ELK RIGHT NOW, ACTUALLY. OKAY, I'M GONNA GROWL AT IT A LITTLE BIT. [ GROWLS ] [ GROWLS ] [ GROWLING ] THEY'RE DEFINITELY LOOKING AT YOU. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? THERE'S TWO OF THEM NOW. SEE, I THOUGHT THERE WAS. I THINK THE OTHER ONE WAS STANDING BEHIND IT. WELL, THE OTHER ONE'S DOWN BELOW. ALL RIGHT, LET'S KEEP MOVING, BOBES. YEAH. LOOK AT THAT VIEW, MAN. THIS IS WHERE WE WANT TO BE. YEAH, WE GOT TO DO SOME CALLS FROM HERE. OH, YEAH. YEAH, WHY DON'T YOU RADIO TO THEM AND LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE AND LET'S GET SOME RESPONSES. IT'S A GOOD PLACE TO DO IT. BOBO AND RANAE, DO YOU COPY? RANAE: Go ahead, Matt. WE THINK WE CAN SEE YOUR LIGHTS DOWN THERE. WE'RE WAY UP ABOVE YOU. BUT WE'RE GONNA DO A HOWL. [ HOWLS ] [ DEEP HOWL IN DISTANCE ] YEAH. YEAH. [ ROARS ] [ ROARS ] Matt: WE'VE COME TO UTAH LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE OF SASQUATCHES IN THIS REGION AND NARROWED DOWN OUR SEARCH GRID TO HARDWARE RANCH AS WHERE THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE RIGHT NOW. FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WE BROUGHT ALONG A WITNESS ON OUR NIGHT INVESTIGATION, AND WE MAY HAVE JUST HEARD A SASQUATCH HOWL. [ DEEP HOWL IN DISTANCE ] YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. Cliff: DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, YEAH. TELL THEM WE GOT A RESPONSE. OKAY! YEAH. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CLIFF. I'M THINKING THAT WAY. Joe: YEAH. THAT WAS COOL. [ CHUCKLES ] OH, RIGHT. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. THAT WAS A 'SQUATCH. RANAE AND BOBO, DO YOU COPY? YEAH, GO AHEAD, MATT. WE JUST HEARD A 'SQUATCH RESPOND TO US WAY DOWN -- WELL, WE CAN'T TELL IF IT WAS DOWN THE VALLEY, DOWN WHERE WE STARTED, OR LEFT TO FLANK, BUT IT WAS LIKE A -- IT WAS A MAN-LIKE "WAAH!" WAY OFF IN THE DISTANCE. THAT IS FANTASTIC, MATT. IT WAS LIKE IT CAME FROM RIGHT OVER THE TOP OF THAT TREE RIGHT AGAINST THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN. LONG, SUSTAINED "WAAH!" YEAH. YEAH, THAT'S WHAT YOU HEARD. THAT WAS AWESOME. THAT WAS COOL. WOW. WE FIGURED THEY'D BE UP HERE, BUT THEY'RE WAY OVER THERE. YEAH. Matt: WE DEFINITELY HEARD A SASQUATCH TONIGHT, BUT IT WAS ON A MOUNTAIN RIDGE PRETTY FAR FROM US. AFTER LISTENING FOR A FEW MORE MINUTES, WE DECIDED TO HEAD BACK DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, CONTINUING TO MAKE SOUNDS BACK AND FORTH WITH BOBO AND RANAE. Ranae: HEY, GUYS. Bobo: HELLO. DID YOU GUYS HEAR ANYTHING ON YOUR WAY DOWN? NO. NO, WE STOPPED AND LISTENED A BUNCH OF TIMES. DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING PARALLEL, BEHIND US. EVEN THOUGH THE WAY BACK WAS FAIRLY UNEVENTFUL, TONIGHT WAS FANTASTIC. HANGING OUT WITH JOE WAS GOOD IN ITSELF. BIGFOOT VOCALIZATIONS ON TOP OF IT -- PFFT, TOP NIGHT OF THE YEAR. IT WAS AWESOME. IT JUST CONFIRMS WHAT I ALREADY PRETTY MUCH KNEW, IS THAT 'SQUATCHES ARE IN UTAH. WE GOT CALLS RECORDED. WE FOUND OUR GOOD-LUCK CHARM, JOE. IT'S BEEN A GREAT TRIP. THIS WAS GREAT. I MEAN, I... THE ONLY THING THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IS IF WE WOULD HAVE SEEN ONE. Matt: OUR TRIP TO UTAH HAS PROVEN TO BE VERY SUCCESSFUL. ALTHOUGH WE DIDN'T ALL AGREE THAT THE VIDEO WHICH BROUGHT US HERE SHOWED A BIGFOOT, THE WITNESSES FROM OUR TOWN-HALL MEETING COMBINED WITH THE HAUNTED HISTORY OF THIS REGION AND THE THINGS WE SAW AND HEARD FOR OURSELVES HAS ME CONVINCED THAT BIGFOOTS DEFINITELY CALL THE MOUNTAINS OF UTAH HOME.
