[narrator] Previously on Expedition Bigfoot...
[Ronny] Got some thing coming towards me now.
Yeah, something's going crazy on this thermal now.
Oh, my God. The trees are all lighting up.
You said your friend found something.
- I want you check that out. - What am I looking at here, Zack?
Looks like a handprint to me, man.
Looks like a handprint to me too.
And that could solve this mystery once and for all.
Look at that. Holy smokes.
[Russ] Whatever it was, just destroyed my tent.
This is Xena, everybody. Whatever she picks up on,
she's not hunting for anything else, but that scent.
She's pulling hard, she's on something.
- [Xena whimpering] - Not gonna go over?
I've never seen her scared of anything.
- Something's up there. - [Xena whimpering]
- Let's call Russ, and let him know. - Okay. Sounds good.
[Russ over phone] I'm about a thousand feet above you.
I'll let you know if I find anything. Holy crap.
This opening could be the doorway to the answers I've been looking for
for 40 years.
Oh, man. This is exactly what I've been looking for.
Look at the... Look right down here.
All these leaves have been pushed down.
Something's been in and out of here.
[narrator] With just two days left in their expedition, Survivalist Russell Acord
has discovered a cave opening just 800 feet
above where a bloodhound led the team.
The canine was tracking the scent from a tree structure
possibly built by the elusive beast.
- Not gonna go up there? - [Xena whimpering]
I've never seen her scared of anything.
Something's up there.
[sniffs]
The smell that's coming out of this cave is insane.
The smell is unnatural.
I think that if a Bigfoot exists
they are subterranean.
They live in caves just like this.
That is a huge, huge opening.
The other opening, other side of that hill side.
This is the perfect way to travel through this area.
This is very secluded.
Anything could live in here.
This opening may look small, but I'll tell you what,
you'd be surprised what could fit down a hole like that.
My gut tells me that there's something here.
Whatever it is, I don't know, but I do need to face it.
Do you think that's stable right there?
I don't know man
[Russ] When you come up on something like this,
you don't want to rush right into it.
Because if this is the opening, your standing in the only escape route,
so if there's something in there that wants to get out you give it no choice
but to come straight at you, or right over top of you.
All right, let's do it.
There's a whole other chamber below this.
Goes a long ways down.
Gimme the camera.
Hold on a second.
Whoa, look at that.
We've got some bones right here.
This looks like a jawbone of maybe a deer or an elk or something,
but something has come down in here and lived, and fed.
Did a Bigfoot eat this deer?
I think this is a strong possibility.
Holy smokes, look at that.
There's a whole other level down here.
It's about a 12 foot drop down there.
Looks like another room opens up.
I'm gonna get down in there and we'll have a look at that.
This opening is much smaller.
Even though that opening is small,
it doesn't mean that there couldn't be a Bigfoot habitat down there,
if there's another big entrance on that other side.
I need to get down there and see.
It's a very, very small space.
[gasps, bleep]
I'm not going to go down.
No. This is as far as I'm gonna go.
My body says... it's just where it stops.
As bad as I want to do this...
we always have to keep safety in mind first.
I'm going to resurface.
Make an assessment from there on the next move.
Standing over that opening, you could literally feel
the cool air on your face. So, I know that there's
got to be a draw from somewhere else.
There's a lot of space down there.
Definitely worth investigating. Anything could be down here.
Hell, we could even have another Mammoth Cave system.
[narrator] The unique limestone geology of Kentucky
has produced over 5,000 caves in the state.
Mammoth Cave, located just 200 miles west,
is the world's longest known cave system,
with over 400 miles of underground passageways,
and the national park that sits above it
was the site of a now famous Bigfoot sighting.
In 2019, a man was so frightened by what he believed to be a Bigfoot
that he fired his rifle at the figure.
[Russ] Mammoth Cave has dozens of entrances.
If this cave is anything like that,
there could be a whole underground freeway that Bigfoot could be using
to get in and out and around this area.
I want to get a hold of Bryce and let him know about this cave.
[cell phone ringing]
- Russell? - Hey, Bryce.
You won't believe what I found today.
I found a cave up on this draw
and I went down as far as I could physically fit.
I could see that it opens up on the bottom level much larger,
and I know that it goes beyond that.
Really?
That's incredible. Do you think it could open up
and lead to other places in the mountain?
I cannot imagine anything living down in here without having a second escape route.
- Yeah, right. - I wouldn't be surprised
if these things don't link up a mile away from here.
Wow, this is huge.
Look, send me the GPS coordinates and I'll get a hold of Ronny and Mireya.
If you couldn't fit, maybe Mireya can.
All right, Bryce. I'm gonna go and see if I can find another cave opening.
- I'll talk to you soon. - Sounds good. I'll talk to you soon, Russ.
Yep. Bye.
[Russ] This might be the perfect hiding place.
It offers privacy, and seclusion.
It's absolutely the perfect place
for something that really doesn't want to be found.
I'm gonna find another entry or exit.
[narrator] One hour later, Russell is scouring the northern face
of Pine Mountain Ridge, searching for another entrance to the cave.
This is not a... easy climb.
[narrator] While Russell continues his search, Primatologist Mireya Mayor
and researcher Ronny Leblanc have just arrived at the cave opening.
- [Mireya] Whoa. - You found it?
Holy [bleep]. Oh, my God.
- Whoa! - Look at the depth of this cave.
[Ronny] Holy [bleep].
Russell thought he had smelled something,
some kind of stench coming from this cave.
This is it. This is what that bloodhound was smelling.
[man] She's pulling hard, so she's on something.
- Not gonna go up there? - [Xena whimpering]
He was smelling something that was going in there,
and I think we know what that is.
This is incredible.
[Mireya] The fact that there could be this connecting cave system down here.
We got to go in there and find out.
- I'm excited to get in there. - Okay.
Let's get ready.
[Mireya] We are running out of time here.
In a situation like this, I am really not a patient person.
I'm here to get answers,
and if they're in fact, in this cave, we're going to find them.
Wow. What a temperature change.
[Mireya] Right?
That opening there, that looks tight.
[Ronny] Holy [bleep]. Whoa.
We get into this small chamber and I see this small hole
and looked down and realized, you know, it's a significant drop.
[Ronny] I don't think I could, squeeze in that.
I can see why Russ couldn't fit down there.
- [Mireya] Yeah, it's a tight opening. - Yeah, it is.
But it looks like there are several drop downs.
- All right so the game plan is I'm gonna go down... - Okay.
...see if there's any other exit out of here.
Okay, let's do this.
[Mireya] Russell is going to be looking for an entrance above ground.
I'm going to be looking for another entrance from below ground.
This might be part of a large cave system,
and also I want to see if there's any signs of habitation.
- All right. - All right, good luck.
[Mireya] The unnerving part of all this is that while I've done a lot of repelling
around the world, this hole seems too narrow and narrow
to the point where it feels like it's just going to consume me.
- [Ronny] Damn, that's a tight squeeze. Jeez. - It is tight.
- Whoa! - What are you seeing?
- It is a drop, man. - You be careful.
[bleep] It is so slippery.
Ronny... oh, my God.
[Ronny] Please be careful.
[narrator] Mireya is now 45 feet below the surface
attempting to descend deeper into a cave
that the team believes could lead to a massive underground system
that would allow Bigfoot to maneuver through the area.
- [Ronny] Damn, that's a tight squeeze. Jeez. - It is tight.
I barely fit in here.
It is a drop, man.
[Mireya] I'm looking down and all I'm seeing is a black void.
[bleep] I have to feed the rope.
[Ronny] Are you okay?
[bleep] Oh, my god.
[Mireya] It feels like the slightest shift of a rock will just close up that hole,
leaving me completely cut off from the rest of the world down there.
[bleep]
Oh-oh. It's slippery.
[bleep]
All right, I made it down.
[Ronny sighs in relief] I'm glad you're okay.
[Mireya] Whoa!
Whoa, this is a massive.
Wow. This'll is a really great space
for something large that wants to retreat and hide.
There are several species of primates that live in caves.
They use 'em for protection at night from predators.
They spend their days forging, and then this is where they retreat to.
I don't see any signs of habitation in this area,
but what we're really looking for is a bigger entrance
'cause this is all good shelter.
Wow, this seems to go down really low.
I see mud, so it bottoms out down there.
But this whole place is just hidden layer upon layer.
[gasps]
There's all these openings, but no way out.
There could be another passage to another cave through this room.
I'm already 100 feet below ground, and I'm climbing on these rocks
and looking down and seeing that there are huge pitfalls.
I mean, there are literal holes in the ground.
This actually goes down forever.
There are just way too many holes, crevices and pits to explore
in the time that I have. I'm screwed.
I need to get back to the surface and come up with a new game plan.
- [Mireya exhales] - [Ronny] You are crazy.
That was insane.
So I didn't find an entrance, but this cave could go much further.
- We need some help. - We probably should call Bryce.
That's a good idea. Let's call Bryce.
[cellphone ringing]
[Bryce] Hello?
- Hey, Bryce. - Hey, man.
[Mireya] I managed to get all the way down to that cave.
That's incredible.
Were guys able to find any type of indications of habituation?
Not that I've seen yet, but there's a draft we keep feeling.
So, we know there's more to this cave that we're not seeing.
[Ronny] Yeah, we knew this was going to be a challenge,
but the terrain is just unforgiving down there.
Look, I think the only way to find out
if there's more to this cave system is to actually have it mapped.
I thought about the possibility that you guys
wouldn't be able to navigate down there.
So I'm getting you some help.
I'm gonna send you guys someone out there
who can perform a digital scan of the entire cave.
Not only is he going to be able to pick up anything that you guys may have missed,
but more importantly, he'll be able to tell you
if the cave connects to other chambers through another small portal.
- Bryce, that's awesome, man. Thanks so much. - Yeah, you bet.
I'm gonna see if I can get that guy out there as soon as possible.
- That'll be tremendous. - Sounds great. Thanks, Bryce.
I can't wait to see what he finds.
[narrator] Just after dawn on the final day of their expedition,
mapping expert Chad Studer enters the cave
that the team believes could be a Bigfoot habitat.
[Chad] This is really cool.
[narrator] Chad has come equipped with a highly advanced
hand held Lidar Mapping System.
[Chad] All right, so we're gonna use Lidar today.
Basically we're going to preserve a digital model
of everything that we see down here. So anybody that's,
unable to come down into this space, we'll be able to look at it
on a computer.
[narrator] As the state of the art compact scanner moves,
it fires hundreds of lasers in every direction,
measuring and recording every inch of the cave
with extreme precision. Including the hundreds of pits
and holes in the large third chamber.
We could descend in even deeper.
See how much farther this goes.
[narrator] The team hopes this sophisticated system
will reveal if any of these holes leads to another cave.
That's quite a bit deeper.
The map should be good.
All right, let's get back to the surface and take a look at the 3D model.
[Mireya] I'm really excited to see the Lidar results.
Once we look at the scans,
will have a really clear sense of what's down there.
And that could potentially lead to this other entrance that I'm searching for
that I could have easily missed as I walked through.
So what are we looking at here?
[Chad] A digital model of everything that we saw.
- [Mireya] Whoa! - [Ronny] That's incredible.
Did you guys know there's three different levels inside this cave,
and we could cut some different sections here
to kind of show you horizontally and vertically.
You know, if you want to look at it, we do dimensions of anything.
- [both] Whoa! - Oh, my god.
[narrator] Using the Lidar technology,
Chad has produced a three dimensional digital rendering
of a large cave system
that goes down hundreds of feet below the earth's surface.
Of the three chambers that Mireya explored,
the third is by far the largest at over 400 feet in length.
This third one, as you could see was just rocky
and very, very difficult to terrain through here.
That's the room with all the holes everywhere.
Here at the end was an incredible
black hole basically. I just couldn't get down any farther.
So it's possible that, that void continues.
It absolutely continues.
I don't know where that could even lead.
We just don't know what's beyond that point.
Well, the fact that we're seeing a black hole there,
and that technology couldn't see past it,
I want to go there.
This is going to be the only way to find a larger exit.
So, if there's something that's connecting it
to the outside, an entrance, something, then I want to find it
and I have to go down there to do it.
[Chad] It'll be fascinating to see where that goes.
- You're willing to do that? - Oh, absolutely.
Yeah. Chad, thank you for everything.
This has been a big help.
- I can't wait to see what you guys find. - Thank, man.
[narrator] Coming up...
Sasquatch is here.
They've always been here.
[Mireya] Holy hell. This room is huge.
Whatever it was, was tearing the heads of dogs
and just taking the bodies and leaving the heads laying there.
- Wow. - There's something down there.
Listen to that.
Holy [bleep].
[Russ] This terrain, it's just almost impossible to get through.
[narrator] Survivalist Russell Acord is on the north face
of Pine Mountain Ridge, searching for a second entrance
to a cave system that could be a method
for Bigfoot to travel through the area.
[Russ] There was a strong draft coming from that cave.
That means there's another opening somewhere and I'm going to go find it.
I'm getting into the rocky area right now.
So, we'll keep trucking.
Whoa, look at that.
That looks like it could be a cave entrance.
[bleep]
Holy cow.
Right now, going up into this,
it looks like the perfect place where the other entrance
to the cave could be. Anything could be down here.
This should be interesting.
Excellent place to hide.
It's definitely a walkway.
Look at this.
It opens up down there.
See down, up underneath of here.
There's a pretty good void right here.
Probably goes back eight feet or so.
This whole area right here
looks like it's been laid in.
Even the dirt and leaves are pressed down. So, it's been used.
This area's been...
Oh, do you see that?
Can you see this?
Look at that.
That's longer than your typical bear hair, or deer, or elk.
That's some pretty good length to it.
All right, I'm gonna grab up that sample.
[narrator] Last year in Oregon,
- Russell discovered a hair sample... - Here we go.
...that when analyzed, offered promising details.
With alleged Sasquatch hair,
one of the most telling features is a lack of a cellular medulla.
[man] What do you see?
I don't see the medulla.
That's a lot of hair. That's long hair.
I'll let somebody who has the knowledge
go through those samples and find out what it is.
I'm really excited I found this hair, but I need to collect it and keep moving.
Just because I didn't find the cave entrance here,
doesn't mean I won't find another entrance along these ridges.
[narrator] Two hours later at the command center,
Bryce Johnson follows up on an eyewitness account
of a large jawbone found near a local cave.
My dad found a jawbone, and he held that jawbone up to his face,
I mean, it was huge.
- It was that big? - It was that big.
I asked him, was it animal? He said, "No, this isn't an animal."
He said it's something we don't know.
Skeptics of Bigfoot say, "Where's the bones?
There's never any bones to be found."
But here, talking to Nancy, she said her father did find a bone,
and it was this huge lower mandible.
They sent it away for analysis.
Unfortunately, I believe they lost the sample,
and I want to talk with somebody who knows more about this area.
So, there's a guy named Jim Vieira who's done an extensive amount
of research on large skeletal remains all across the United States.
[narrator] Jim Viera, a stonemason by trade, made huge waves among researchers
when, nine years ago he put forth a controversial theory.
After discovering over 700 newspaper articles
mentioning the discovery of human remains
of enormous stature, and many more examples
in academic and historical texts,
Jim developed a theory
that the Earth may have once been inhabited by a race of giants.
Maybe these giant bones that he's finding evidence for
could in fact, be bones of a possible Bigfoot.
[Skype chime]
- Hey, Jim, how are you? - Bryce, nice to see you.
I wanted to talk to you, Jim, because I recently spoke with a witness.
She told me that her father discovered
just outside this cave this huge lower mandible
that practically fit over his face,
and I was wondering if you could just tell me about
what it is that they might have found.
I have literally hundreds of accounts of just that anatomic anomaly
of the jawbone fitting over the face.
So, that didn't occur in isolation.
It's ubiquitous the country wide.
Are you saying that there's a skeletal record of,
of large bipedal humanoids?
Absolutely. And not just in this country, around the world,
documents mention over and over again
giants existing as a historical reality.
So, that's well beyond coincidence.
- Hmm. - Also, virtually every religious document
or oral tradition talks about giants being a reality.
Okay, so what do we know about these giants?
The reports mention strange and specific anatomic anomalies
- like massive job bones, double rows of teeth... - Right.
...unusually thick skulls,
and a rare genetic condition Called Polydactyly.
Extra digits. Six fingers, six toes,
often associated with giants.
In fact, down at Judaculla Rock, in North Carolina,
you guys are down South I know, there's a rock art with seven digits,
and the Cherokee Legend was that Judaculla was this giant
with seven figures and seven toes.
Once again, this genetic condition of extra digits.
And the South East is filled with these accounts of
giant skeletons being found in caves and other places.
Of course, understood.
I mean, it's hard not to think when you're talking about
measurements of seven, eight, nine feet tall, that we're not talking about Bigfoot here.
Absolutely. The native oral traditions are all
speaking of giants and Bigfoot.
No question about it, all around the US.
So, if these accounts of giants from some of most reputable sources
are representation of the Bigfoot creature.
Quite possibly.
And so, we could be talking about the same thing here.
You are correct.
An artifact was given to me.
I would love to be able to send you a picture of it,
and I don't want to tell you too much about it.
I would love to just get your gut reaction to what this thing is and implicates.
Absolutely. Send it right along.
All right. Great.
A local resident said he found this inside of a cave.
What do you think here you're looking at?
It strikes me as just not a natural occurrence.
It's a very large handprint, it looks like.
What's the scale?
Twelve inches, by about eight inches across.
This is huge.
I mean, it just dwarfs my hand and I can clearly see, what looked to me like
the knuckles are actually impressed in that.
What grabs my attention is,
does it look to you like there's a sixth digit?
Above broken off, the other
what would be a knuckle mark,
or the impression underneath it.
- Right. - Five fingers plus the thumb.
That's what it looks like to me.
Wow, that's wild.
Six figures, six toes.
Is that you know a representation of the Bigfoot creature?
Quite possible.
Now I'm even more pressed to take in this artifact
and get it expertly analyzed, especially since they found near a cave.
This could be a point in our expedition,
where Jim's research about giant skeletal remains
and our research about Bigfoot intersect.
[Mireya] We're about 100 feet down.
[narrator] Deep below the surface,
Mireya is traveling through the long and rocky third chamber,
searching for the uncharted black void
that she saw on the Lidar map of the cave.
[Mireya] Whoa.
This opening is really small.
No wonder I missed it.
This could lead to another cave.
All right, well, I think I definitely have to go in there.
[bleep, gasps]
Oh, my God.
This room is huge.
Holy hell.
If there's another entrance, something really large could be living down here.
This just keeps going.
[Mireya] This room is huge. Holy hell.
This just keeps going.
[narrator] After climbing through a tiny portal, Mireya has entered
another much larger cavern 300 feet below the earth.
[Mireya] I thought the other cave was big, but this chamber is massive.
Whoa, look at that.
This room is creepy.
All these drips coming off from there, mean that we're under a water table.
Which, if there's enough of it could support a large mammal.
There's so much more to explore.
[Bryce] Should be another mile or so up here.
So I'm on my way to meet with an eyewitness named John Caldwell.
John just lives on the other side of the mountain from the cave entrance,
and I'm hoping he can tell me
all about the Bigfoot activity in this immediate area.
[dog barking]
- Hello? I'm Bryce. - How you doing?
- I'm doing all right, man. How are you? - Hush. Hush.
- You wanna hop around the back. - Yeah, let's do it.
[dogs barking]
So, John, I understand you had some recent activity
where you might have seen a few things.
- Is that right? - Yes, I have.
Well, first off, let me start with what my cousin told me.
He told me that his coon dogs, three or four of 'em had come up missing.
He said, come over here and look and see if we can figure out
what's taking these dogs.
And... it had took the dog, chain, collar and everything,
and drug it off.
There's an old cat road there.
Me and him went up there, whenever we got up into the cat roads,
there laid the chain with the collar.
Whatever it was was tearing the heads of dogs
and just taking the bodies and leaving the heads just laying there.
- Wow. - [sighs]
- Had you ever seen anything like that before? - Never.
No, no. Right beside it was like 16, 17 inch footprints.
So apparently it was getting 'em dogs and eaten 'em.
And, he took the rest of his hunting dogs
and moved them right down next to the house.
[Bryce] And where did this happen?
Where were the dog heads found?
Matter of fact, right up yonder, on the other side of the mountain.
The team I'm with is there in a cave right now.
[Mireya] These areas here would be pretty inhospitable.
But down here, you've got an area where it's flatter.
There's actually leaves on it that could serve as bedding
and then, you'd certainly have good shelter and a hiding spot.
There's no telling how far this goes.
I looked down and see more openings, more floors, more levels
and this would be an amazing space
for a large animal to take shelter and be able to hide in.
What I am worried about is,
will we find that entrance, and what is using that entrance?
I think these creatures could be using these cave systems
to hide out or take shelter?
Yes, I do.
No matter if it's 30 below outside,
or 110 outside, it's 60 degrees in there.
- What better place for 'em? - Yeah.
But I wouldn't go in it.
Sasquatch is here.
They've always been here.
You know, I hear that story about these dogs,
and obviously there's an element of danger there.
I mean, do you ever feel threatened by some of these encounters,
or you ever feel like your life's in danger?
Well, I'd rather have a gun,
and not need it than need one and not have it.
[Ronny] She's been down there for almost three hours now,
so I'm getting a little worried at this point.
[shushing]
Wait, wait, wait. There's something down there.
I'm hearing movement.
Listen to that. Holy [bleep].
[shushes]
[narrator] While searching for another entrance to a large cave system,
Mireya hears a noise coming from just a few yards away.
[whispers] Listen to that.
Holy [bleep].
Oh, wow, look at this.
You've got a great running stream through here.
One of the things that makes water really drinkable
is that it's not just sitting there stagnant.
So, it's moving water.
[sighs]
This just dead ends.
The stream runs and just goes completely underground.
[sighs] I thought this was going to lead me to an exit.
I really thought there was going to be a way out.
Now that I know that this is a dead end, there's a real sense of loss
in walking away from here empty handed,
not really knowing that we can come back to it.
Got a long way back up.
[bleep] look.
There's a hair. Found a hair.
Whoa, that's really fine.
[Russ] I've been searching up here for a few hours
and really not finding anything that's tangible.
[narrator] After searching all day for another cave entrance,
Russell is running out of options.
I've got to get hold of the team,
let 'em know that I haven't found any other cave openings yet.
[thunder rumbles]
[man] Hey, excuse me.
- Bryce, right? - Yeah, that's right.
Hey, you guys are the Expedition Bigfoot?
You're out here looking for Bigfoot, right?
[Bryce] You know what, we actually are, yeah.
[man] I was going to give you a little info that might help you out.
[Bryce] Yeah, absolutely, man, I'm always looking for information.
[man] I was in the Air Force,
and about 1990 we had training.
It was an elective training course in Washington State.
And as we're heading out, our instructor said,
I might as well go ahead, tell you guys now,
I don't know what you think about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, but they are real.
The government knows about 'em and they're in this area.
- They're in the area? - Absolutely.
- Was he joking around about that? - Absolutely not. Not this guy.
There's no reason for him to.
Why do you think he told you that?
[man] Well, to be careful.
He said, "You know, if you do see one",
"don't engage it because we had guys in a training class previous
and they did engage it, and it did not end well."
What do you think he meant by that?
I don't know. We asked, what do you mean?
He said, "It did not end well."
That's how he left it.
I mean, there's been a lot of unusual disappearances
and they have no answers for,
and they probably know these things could be behind it.
I mean, that's an incredible, credible thing that you're saying.
The implications are huge.
You know, I've heard rumors that the government
may be aware of these things, but this is the first time
anybody who served in the active military
- have told me that they heard that first-hand. - First-hand.
That's wild. Do you mind if I grab your information?
Yeah, absolutely, man.
I appreciate you sharing that information with me.
Well, I know you split your team into small groups who are out at night.
- Might wanna be careful. - Yeah, I absolutely will. Take it easy.
Yeah, he recognized me and he told me that while he was in the Air Force,
his training officer warned his men
that Bigfoots are in the area and that they are real.
You know, if these guys are running training missions,
and they were being warned about 'em by their training officers,
then that means that there's probably enough of these creatures
that Washington's prime Bigfoot territory.
This is a place more than any other state,
has more Bigfoot sightings per capita than anywhere else in the world.
I need to tell the team about this ASAP.
[cell phone ringing]
- Hello? - Hey, Bryce.
Mireya. How are you guys?
All right, let me get Russell in on the call.
Hang on just a second.
Hello.
Russell, Mireya, what can you guys tell me about the cave?
Bryce, I got down all the way to the bottom of that cave.
Okay.
I found one single hair attached to the ceiling,
possibly an animal that was trying to get through there.
But that needs to be sent out to a lab.
Great.
[Russ] I found a sample, too.
I found hair,
and it is longer than your typical bear hair,
or deer hair. It's kind of a brown, it's a different color.
It's interesting.
That's great. Look, just secure that evidence.
I'm gonna add that to the rest of the evidence that we're gonna get analyzed.
Look, I know hair samples,
it's not exactly what we're looking for, but at this stage,
we have to consider all of our options.
[Mireya] I think we need a new game plan here.
Look, even though I firmly believe that these creatures came through here
on their migration,
I feel as though our window of opportunity is closing.
So why don't we just switch gears completely.
So, I just spoke with a guy who told me
he was a captain in the Air Force, and he told me when he was doing
training missions over Washington State,
his commanding officer briefed him to be on the lookout
for large, hairy humanoid figures known as Sasquatch.
Damn.
I don't think I need to tell you guys the huge implications that
the government may not only know about these creatures,
but that they also may have proof.
[all] Wow.
I ran some of the numbers through the algorithm,
and although they're not spot on, they're close enough
in this one specific location in Washington.
You have about 250,000 acres
of pristine wilderness just nestled right up along the Olympic National Forest.
If we need to redirect, I love this idea.
Yeah, we're going to the Mecca.
- That's awesome. - I'm loving it.
So look, finish up your work,
pack up your gear,
we're going to Washington State.
[Mireya] Bryce, we are so [bleep] ready.
- Outstanding. - [Ronny] Let's do it.
[narrator] Coming up this season on Expedition Bigfoot...
[woman] A long time ago, the fishermen had just
finished harvesting a salmon from the river.
Then the air filled with this...
horrible stench.
- [Mireya] There's something out there. - ...all of a sudden,
out of the brush, low and behold, stood...
a huge monster.
[Mireya] This forest, it feels like something is out there
waiting for us like these long arms reaching out.
[Russ] We don't belong where they live.
They've been there a long time.
[Mireya] This is like a playground, a hiding place
for an animal that doesn't want to be found.
[woman] The chiefs gathered together for a meeting...
[Russ] Bigfoot is using these waterways for food, for water.
[Mireya] Holy crap.
[woman] One of the chiefs came forward to say two words.
Burn him.
Anything crosses the road, we're gonna get it on camera.
[Ronny] Every single day there's something happening.
Did you see that? It looks like someone's standing.
There is something more than just animals living in here.
That sounded human size coming this way.
[Russ] Holy [bleep]. This thing is moving towards us.
Tonight I felt like I was the prey and something was hunting me.
[Mireya] I was seeing something science couldn't explain.
- It just grunted. - We have a potential Sasquatch.
[Bryce] There has to be a trace of evidence here, and I'm gonna find it.
I've got tracks down here.
I've got legit tracks right here.
[Mireya] This is really [bleep] weird.
[man] I can tell you for absolute fact,
the Government is interested in this.
[Ronny] Oh, my God.
