[narrator] Previously on Expedition Bigfoot.
What the [bleep] is that?
It looks like a body.
[bleep] Whoa, whoa.
It turned into a small white circle.
It's getting smaller.
[gasps] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
It's gone.
[Bryce] How tall is this creature you saw?
Easily eight feet tall.
It's got its hands over its face
and crouched down and it just vanished.
Do you think that the government
may in fact know about these creatures?
I do think they know, but I don't think
they want us to know.
[man] Can you hear that?
What the hell?
Helicopters.
[Dr. Mireya] This is really [bleep]
[suspenseful music playing]
[creature grunts]
[Dr. Mireya] Holy [bleep] it just grunted.
[Russell] Whatever it is, we're being stalked.
[Ronny] Holy [bleep] this thing
is moving towards us.
[sinister music playing]
[creature grunts]
[Dr. Mireya] Holy [bleep] it just grunted.
[man] I heard it through your headphones.
[narrator] Deep inside a remote river valley
in Washington's Olympic peninsula,
the team is investigating a riverbank
where Russell believes he was being stalked
by a massive creature.
[Russell] [indistinct] I hear something moving in,
like walking in straight out there.
[man] Yup.
[Dr. Mireya] I don't hear anything anymore you guys.
[creature grunts]
[Dr. Mireya] It just grunted [bleep]
[suspenseful music playing]
[Dr. Mireya] Look through the thermal,
do you see anything?
[suspenseful music playing]
It's not moving right now.
[water splashing]
- Did you guys hear that? - [Dr. Mireya] Yes.
- Back up here? - [Dr. Mireya] Yes.
Can you get your thermal on it?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Dr. Mireya] I don't hear any more you guys.
Whatever it is it's being stealthy
about coming closer to us, which gives me the indication
that we're being stalked.
[Ronny] Great.
You guys feel good with that?
- [Dr. Mireya] Yeah. - [Ronny] Yes.
[Russell] Let's go ahead and start backing
this [indistinct]
[suspenseful music playing]
Whatever it was that was stalking me over there,
it's something I really don't want
any part of in the dark like this.
[Ronny] No.
So, we'll stick together.
[Ronny] Head on a swivel.
[helicopter whirring]
[Ronny] Whoa, are the helicopters
are coming again?
[Dr. Mireya] That is strange.
[Ronny] This can't be a coincidence, man.
They're right over the top of us.
We can't say for sure what those helicopters
are doing but they're definitely military.
Have we gotten too close, I think it's no coincidence
and I have a feeling that they know we're here.
[helicopter whirring]
[suspenseful music playing]
It's about 6:30, waking up,
was hoping we'd get some kind of a visitor
last night.
Didn't hear a lot of thing around,
so we're gonna see if we could find
any type of evidence, any kind
of stick signs, anything.
That's kind of the game plan today.
[narrator] With Mireya and Russell not yet awake,
Ronny makes his way back to the river
to search for evidence left
by the creature they heard grunting the night before.
Oh, my gosh, stuff keeps on coming.
I'm blown away by this here, two enormous footprints.
I have my small flashlight for scale,
so you can see the size of this.
This looks like a left foot.
Oh, my God.
This is so big compared to this other one here.
Get the measuring tape,
which I don't have on me right now,
which I'm kicking myself for.
I mean, this thing is huge,
so we're coming back.
I can't wait to tell Mireya.
[intense music playing]
[narrator] Just outside the target zone,
at the command center,
Bryce is reviewing the thermal footage
Meriya filmed at the river bank.
[Dr. Mireya] Ronny, I've got a huge red signature.
It's right across the river from me.
Really?
[narrator] Two nights ago, she captured
a strange thermal anomaly.
[Dr. Mireya] I don't see it with my flashlight.
[narrator] But to the naked eye,
there was nothing to be seen.
I can only see the heat signature.
[Bryce] I mean the fact that we could see Russell
on the thermal as well as with the flashlight...
[Dr. Mireya] You're coming up red hot right now.
[Bryce] ...begs the question,
was Mireya's thermal showing something
that was camouflaging?
What the [bleep] is that?
[Bryce] Do these things actually have the ability
to cloak? I'm at a loss.
So, I've reached out to one
of my most trusted contact.
His name is Ben Hanson and he's a former
federal agent, as well as a certified thermographer.
I'm hoping that he can decipher
the details of exactly what we're seeing
and even offer up some kind of explanation
as to why we would see it on the thermal
and yet not be able to see it with the naked eye.
[computer ringing]
[Ben] Hey, Bryce, how's it going?
Ben, what's up, man?
Thank you for taking the time to speak
with us and analyze this footage.
I hope you can see why we wanted
to send it to you.
[Ben] I think you have a unique piece of footage here
that merits further investigation.
I totally agree.
Listen, I just wanna clear up that our thermal camera
wasn't recording when we captured this image.
- Okay. - But thankfully
our cameraman was able to capture it
when Mireya was looking at it on the thermal screen.
Let's take a look at the, uh, the first night there.
[Ben] So let me pull up share screen.
[Bryce] What do you make of this footage
and what do you think of those lights
above the thermal image?
[Ben] So, when Mireya filmed it,
it seem like we have these little lights,
and here we have a still image with Russell.
So, you do see some of those what might look
like sparkles at the top of the screen.
So, it is probably that that is part of the bark
of a tree or something except that when Mireya filmed it
at the first night, it seem like it was kinda
sparkling on and off, like scintillating.
So, I'm not completely sure
if that's a tree or something,
that would explain it.
So in your opinion, those strange lights
were unique to Mireya's footage?
Yeah, yeah.
[Bryce] I think the most baffling thing for me
was whatever gave off that kind of heat
on her camera was not there when she turned
her flashlight on.
[Ben] Any time that I film something
that I can't visually see,
I'm thinking a residual heat.
- Mmm-hmm. - [Ben] For example,
if I sat in a sofa for five minutes
and get up, you will see a figure of my outline.
But if she had been staring at it for, you know,
half an hour and it still doesn't change,
you kind of eliminate that possibility.
Then, it makes me think something
was maybe sitting there, okay?
But there's nothing there.
I think you kind of eliminate that you're dealing with,
um, unknown animal of sort.
So, what is it? I mean, that...
that's what really has me baffled here.
Ben, let me ask you, is it possible
that we captured something that exist
in that unseen spectrum of light?
Something that we wouldn't be able to see
even by illuminating it with a powerful flashlight?
You know, I mean, I don't think
there's any coincidences here.
Okay. Is there the possibility
that living creatures exist in a different spectrum
of light that I can't visibly see?
I can tell you, I think we have
to broaden our perspective and take a look
into the possibility, however, unpopular it might be
in some circles that these creatures
might have an ability to spontaneously disappear,
reappear, cloak, if you wanna call it that.
It sounds kind of woo-woo to some people.
But I have no other explanation when you have,
uh, you know, very strong supporting evidence
that something is there or shows up
on a thermal camera but is not visibly able
to be seen.
[Bryce] The implications are huge that a creature
like this could give off that type of radiant heat
on a thermal camera but yet remain invisible.
I have to ask you, you know, uh, with your background
as a federal agent, do you think
the government is interested in this idea of invisibility?
I've been purview to some briefings
that have taken place about invisibility or cloaking.
I can tell you for an absolutely fact
the government is interested in that.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Bryce] Do you think the government
is interested in this idea of invisibility?
I can tell you for an absolute fact
the government is interested in this.
[narrator] Bryce Johnson is speaking
with former federal agent and thermographer,
Ben Hanson who has analyzed the mysterious thermal image
Meriya captured two nights ago.
They've invested money in studying
this sort of thing.
So, do we possess a technology
to make humans disappear or reappear?
I don't know.
But the government is interested.
Part of, if not, all of it might have
something to do with the reason
that they're here and then they're not,
or they jump from one place to another.
It's incredible to think that these creatures
would have the capability to cloak themselves.
I've read reports about that.
You know, I think the implications are huge
that if the government is already looking into this,
then this takes this theory to a whole new level.
So, as an investigator, this is the best scenario.
You're team got enough coincidences to where I think
it's an area of interest you wanna keep going back to,
keep at it.
Wow. We definitely will.
You know, if these Bigfoot creatures
do in fact have the capability to use things like cloaking,
then these are technologies that the government
would definitely be interested in.
Perhaps, that could explain some of the strange things
that are happening to our team in the field right now.
[somber music playing]
[Dr. Mireya] So, where are these prints?
[Ronny] Just up here a little ways.
[narrator] After spotting footprints
near the river bank, investigator Ronny Le Blanc
has returned with primatologist
Dr. Mireya Mayor with plaster kits
to create molds of the prints.
[Ronny] It's about a hundred yards down this way.
[Dr. Mireya] I am really excited by the fact
that Ronny found a set of prints,
not just one in isolation.
Having a pair gives us so much more information.
It gives you the distance between the stride,
it gives you a comparison so that you can confirm
the actual size of the feet making those prints.
[Ronny] This stopped me in my tracks and see this.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Dr. Mireya] Huh.
[Ronny] So, this one looks like
a right foot and this looks like a left,
and I thought it was odd that human being
would be walking through the water this way.
So, I thought all those different elements
kinda made it interesting.
So, this is our first glance.
This is about... A little 15, almost 16 inches
from toe to heel we're looking at.
Yeah, but it's also a lot bigger
than that first one.
[Ronny] Yeah, so I'm wondering
if that's just a little bit of sliding on the gravel,
expanding the print a bit.
[Dr. Mireya] I mean, measure that,
that just looks like really small to me.
Yeah. Yeah, look at that, I mean...
- [Dr. Mireya] Huh. - ...it could be right here.
I mean, it looks like whatever made this print made this one.
What do you think?
If that footprint was an isolation,
I could argue that a long stride from here
where you wouldn't capture any print would land
somewhere over here
but the fact that we have one
so closely in stride behind it,
I think it falls pretty largely
within the realm of human.
But depending on how you feel, you know,
if you wanna cast it, I'd say go for it.
Uh, I think it's definitely worth it to just cast it,
I mean I would kick myself if we're walking away
from something that is truly a big footprint.
[tense music playing]
I'll get the plaster ready.
[Dr. Mireya] All right.
I'm inclined to think that this is
a human footprint,
but because we're searching for something
that is supposedly human-like,
there's no harm in collecting the evidence,
just in case we find something else
that would add to the puzzle by having this piece.
The ground is really wet and it's gonna take
a little bit longer to dry.
The reason we decided to use the plaster
instead of the scanner is because of the river.
That terrain is very pebbly and each one of those pebbles
would act as a data point and throw the whole scan off.
By using the plaster, we have a much better chance
of really obtaining the true shape
and size if that footprint.
[Ronny] While this is setting,
let's head down in this direction
because whatever came and made these prints,
we might have some luck and find something down here
so, I'd love to go check it out.
All right. I'll go grab my bag.
[Ronny] All right.
[tense music playing]
[Russell] I'm on a roll here
on this logging trail,
make traveling a little bit easier.
[narrator] After separating from Ronny and Mireya,
survivalist Russell Acord is now four miles away,
making his way to higher elevations.
[Russell] The plan moving forward from this point
is Ronny and Mireya will stay down
in this lower level where the creek bed is.
We're getting a lot of activity around here,
so we know we're, kind of, in a hotbed
with the activity that we're getting.
We feel that this could be an area
where Bigfoot would feed,
but it doesn't necessarily mean that this is
where it would live.
My philosophy is, is that Bigfoot would live
in area much higher altitude, so that's where I'm headed.
It's a bit of a game trail through here.
You can, kind of, see how it's not really heavily
travelled but it allows me at least a path
without having to make too much noise
and announce myself.
[dramatic music playing]
[Russell] I can tell there's been a lot of deer
coming through here.
Well, that's a freaking wasp nest.
[wasps buzzing]
[Russell grunts] [bleep] I already got one, two.
I've already been stung twice, so...
[cameraman speaking]
[Russell] You see it? To my left
in the top of that tree.
[cameraman speaking]
[Russell] Do you see it?
[cameraman speaking]
[cameraman] I'll meet you.
[Russell] I gotta be still for a second, hold on.
Moving slow.
[cameraman] Okay. I need to get up this hill
and hopefully go around.
I mean, you will notice that...
[cameraman speaking]
[Russell] Not very many people are gonna wanna walk
through here, so you have seclusion.
It is not a friendly environment
for moving around and there's something moving
around behind me.
So, I'm gonna keep the camera up that way,
something going through the leaves there.
[cameraman speaking]
[Russell] Yup, something moving up there.
I can smell an animal up there.
It's strong [bleep]
Right there, right there.
Crap. Come on. All right.
In there.
What the heck?
Bigfoot is here.
Yup, there's something moving up there.
I can smell an animal up there.
[bleep]
[narrator] Russell is running to a large
hairy creature that appears to be watching him
from roughly 50 yards away.
[Russell] Right there.
What the heck?
Bigfoot is here.
Hey, this thing stopped.
It turned around, it's looking at me.
Oh, wait, actually, it's not my thought it was.
There's a black bear right there.
That's a big black bear.
Ahh, all right.
I'm getting out of here.
I don't wanna get, um, in a spot
where I can't escape and right now
I'm at that point.
It's either straight down or straight up.
Neither one of them are at my advantage.
You just know that there's point where you have to be
smart enough to turn back and I think this
is that time that I try to make myself...
the path back to where I was and work my way
back around to the trail.
[cameraman] Hey, man [indistinct] on you.
Did you see something down there?
[Russell] Yeah, a monster black bear.
Oh, man.
It went up the hillside and it stopped,
it turned its head and it looked at me.
It didn't keep running.
And then, it turned back around and went up the hill.
I think I got it on my camera.
It's not safe down there.
We got a couple clearings up above here.
If we can find a flat spot to just, kind of, settle in.
I'd like to glass this tonight with the thermals
and just kind of see if anything up here is moving.
Even though that wasn't a Bigfoot and it was a bear,
that's a pretty good sign still.
I believe that Bigfoot and bear would be omnivorous.
They're gonna share that same diet.
An area that will sustain a bear would also sustain
a Bigfoot.
Give me couple minutes just to kinda catch my breath
and we'll load back up and get out of here.
[tense music playing]
[Ronny] Let's see if the footprint set...
- [Dr. Mireya] Yeah. - [Ronny] It's dry by now.
[Dr. Mireya] I hope so.
[narrator] Five miles southeast,
Ronny and Mireya returned to the riverbank
to see if the plaster they poured into a possible
big footprint has set.
[Ronny] I'm really curious about this.
- [Dr. Mireya] It's... - [Ronny] Still soft?
[Dr. Mireya] Yeah, very. Look.
You could poke your finger through there.
I mean, if you look at where this footstep is,
- it's just completely... - [Ronny] Yeah.
...inundated with water, so that's just seeping up.
[Ronny] Seeping up, yup.
And this is a bummer. This didn't set.
[Dr. Mireya] Unfortunately, that cast never dried
but we still have a ton of area to explore.
- It was worth a shot, man. - [Ronny] Yup.
- [Dr. Mireya] All right. - [Ronny sighs]
[Dr. Mireya] Let's keep going, then.
[tense music playing]
[Bryce] So, we're in an area in Washington where, uh,
it seems like everybody has, uh, a Bigfoot story,
and if they don't, then they know somebody who does.
[narrator] Nine miles to the east,
Bryce is on his way to meet with an eyewitness
whose encounter took place
within the target zone.
So, I'm on my way to meet with a hunter name Warren Smiley.
He has a story he wants to share with me a about
a Bigfoot encounter he had.
One thing that really piqued my interest
about his encounter was it took place in an area
where Ronny and Mireya are right now.
So, I'm hoping I can glean some information and pass it
along to the team.
- Hey, Warren. - Hey.
- [Bryce] How are you, man? - Pretty good, pretty good.
[Bryce] Good. Well, listen, thanks for taking the time
to meet with me today.
- For sure. Thanks. - [Bryce] So I understand that
you're a hunter and ex-military,
and you know these woods really well,
and you have a story you'd be willing to share with me.
Oh, yeah. There was this one incident where, uh,
I'm out there deer hunting. I set up and I tried to stay
as close as I can to the river,
so if they come across or they go up the other side,
- I can see them and hear them. - Mmm-hmm.
[Warren] And then, uh, at 4:00 in the morning
on the opposite side of this creek bed,
all of a sudden, I hear something just
thunderous running down the hill in front of me.
And I hear this large animal. It was like ripping
the trees down by the river.
So, did you... did you see this creature at all, or...
[Warren] No, the creature I couldn't see because...
[Bryce] You just heard the sounds of it?
Yeah.
[Bryce] Now we've heard about these creatures
being able to cloak themselves.
Do you think that's possibly what happened here?
[Warren] I would assume, yeah.
And then, I hear he runs after something.
There's a deer trail there and you can hear him
- grab a deer. - [Bryce] How were you able
to know that that was a deer?
When they're in distress, a deer gets into that
stage where it's like doomed.
It just, kinda, like, gives a squeal
and then it kinda like, uh, passes out.
- Mmm-hmm. - [Warren] And then
you could hear the neck break backwards and then it came...
So you could hear the neck of the deer snapping?
- Yes. - Incredible.
And then the wood just goes quiet.
That's wild. So, you said these riverbeds
are good places to locate these creatures, why is that?
Uh, mostly because trees are not supposed
to be cut close to the waterline.
- Oh, okay. I see. - So... And I find a...
an area that's a clear-cut and along that creek bed,
they can't cut trees back to the waterline.
[narrator] In 1974,
Washington State passed the law halting logging
along any river. The result has left many
small strips of trees on either side of these
waterways. This forces prey animals to try to stay
hidden among the trees into a narrow passage
making them easier to spot and more vulnerable
to predators.
[Warren] Clear-cuts are best places to go.
- Makes sense. - [Warren] Bigfoot
are following the animals.
It's wide open to the river.
Bigfoot are setting up areas where they can track
and follow. I guarantee there's at least one there.
[Bryce] Right. You know one thing that I thought
was pretty interesting was Warren said he love to go
to places that had been recently clear-cut and focus
his attention along the river's edge
where there's still a tree line,
as he thought this would be a great chokepoint
for moving game to go across.
Well, I appreciate it. Thank you so much, Warren.
- [Warren] No problem at all. - [Bryce] All right. Cool.
- Well, talk to you later. - [Warren] Okay. Thank you.
[Bryce] Okay. Thanks. And look, it just makes sense.
If this is where big game is moving, then so is Bigfoot.
I need to get a hold of Ronny and Mireya
and tell them about this.
[phone ringing]
- [Dr. Mireya] Hey, Bryce. - [Ronny] Hey, man.
Hey, guys. Hey, I just talked to a local hunter
who knows this area really well
and he said a great way to spot Bigfoot is to use
these logging areas to our advantage.
The logging areas? Why is that?
There's a law in Washington State that says
you can't cut trees along each side of the river,
as a way to keep fish and wildlife
flourishing in the area.
That explains this area for sure.
[Bryce] I'm thinking, if you guys could find a spot
either on or near that area where there's the clear-cut,
then it'll sort of act as a chokepoint for animals
and we can assume that Bigfoot would be
in that area as well.
[Dr. Mireya] That's great information, Bryce.
We'll make sure and look out for these clear-cut areas
and we'll make sure to grab our thermal camera tonight.
Perfect. Look, I can't wait to see what comes
with this. Uh, let me know what you guys find.
- [Dr. Mireya] Yup. - Sounds like a good plan.
- All right. Thanks, Bryce. - [Ronny] Thanks, man.
All right. Sounds like a plan.
Let's do it.
[narrator] Coming up.
[Dr. Mireya] I just got into position.
[Ronny] Okay. Are you ready?
[Russell] If we were gonna ever go into a hot zone,
tonight would be the night and do a little night hunting
tonight.
[Dr. Mireya] There's something hiding behind
the tree to your right. Oh, my God, it's standing up.
[crickets chirping]
[Dr. Mireya] This is the edge where the clearing begins.
There's a trail down there.
- [Ronny] Okay. - [Dr. Mireya] That parallels
- the river. - [Ronny] All right.
[narrator] Six hundred yards from the possible
Bigfoot prints and the mysterious thermal hit
Mireya captured, the team has discovered a swath
of clear-cut that is situated right along the river.
[Ronny] Which one you wanna do, Mireya? This one here?
[Dr. Mireya] I feel like the animals are probably gonna
stay a little bit deeper and hidden in the forest.
Animals don't like to be in an area where they're exposed
that makes them vulnerable. And we're using the fact
that there's a logging area here with clearings
to our advantage. That clear-cut area is close
to a tree line that borders the river.
By selecting this spot to put up the trail cams,
we have a much better shot of capturing animal movement
because they're forced to go through this corridor,
which is much narrower because of the clearing.
[Ronny] This is a chokepoint. All right.
We are armed and good to go.
[narrator] Ronny will be positioned
behind a tree stump just outside
the tree line, while Mireya will be
a hundred yards away in the center of the clear cut
observing with a thermal camera.
[Dr. Mireya] Ronny?
- [Ronny] I got you. - [Dr. Mireya] I just got
into position.
[Ronny] Okay.
I got the IR flashlight so that way
I stay hidden.
Okay. I am ready.
[intense music playing]
[bush rustling]
[Russell] I think we're pretty close
to where I'm wanna be.
This falls out really nice below me,
got a hillside there, a hillside beyond it.
I feel like down us, it opens up.
I've got a really nice base right here in front of me.
This is really a good spot.
[narrator] Russell has made his way to the highest peak
in the immediate area to get a bird's eye view
of the location where he spotted the massive bear.
[Russell] Anything here drawn to the water down below.
Hopefully, I'll get a thermal of it moving.
[Russell speaking]
If you can see right there,
see that's got a little bit of red right
in the center of it. That's very close to us,
where that massive [indistinct] to the trees,
that looks much larger than the bear.
I need to get down there.
We've got a full moon tonight and the illumination out here
is incredible. If we were going to ever go in
to a hot zone, tonight would be the night,
just do this high visibility.
Are you ready?
I'll do a little night hunting tonight.
[Ronny] I'm just sitting here in total darkness.
I have a huge stomp as a blind to my back.
I can maneuver around this and take a peek to see
what might be coming across.
I'm using an IR flashlight made of red cam,
so that way I'm keeping my light signature
basically invisible at this point.
Can you see me from your angle?
[Dr. Mireya] Uh, stick your arm up.
I see you waving.
Now, I am hearing some sounds.
Sitting alone in the dark, your hearing gets amplified.
You're listening to every single sound,
every little tree break. Every little noise
you start to turn with your head on a swivel
wondering what is making that noise.
It can mess with your mind, so you have to remain calm
and just be patient and know that you're
in the right position waiting for something to happen.
Look to my right, I heard something really loud.
[Ronny speaking]
Copy. I'll keep scanning.
Something tells me we're not the only one's here.
Wait, wait, wait, there's something down there.
Ronny, there's something hiding behind the tree
to your right. It's behind you
towards the river.
Ronny, I'm getting this red hot heat signature
from behind the tree. But there's no definition.
I can't tell if it's crouching, if it's standing.
Can you hear anything?
[Ronny] I don't but it feels very uneasy right now
like a sitting duck.
[Dr. Mireya] What the hell?
[Ronny] It feels very uneasy right now
like a sitting duck.
[narrator] Mireya has just spotted the thermal signature
of a creature behind a tree
just 40 yards from Ronny's position.
[Ronny] I'm hearing something
but I can't really see anything.
[Dr. Mireya] Ronny, flash your light the other way,
other way.
Turn it slowly.
There, directly behind that tree.
[Ronny] It's out of focus. I'm trying to see if I can
get better eyes on it but I feel like I have something
in front of me behind the tree.
[Ronny speaking]
[Cameraman speaking]
[Ronny] I'm hearing noises and I feel like I'm seeing
some kind of eye shine.
It looks like it's tall too because
his eyes are high up by the three.
I'm going to move in from my position.
Can you guide me?
I'm still kind of running somewhat blind.
All right. Go straight
to your right.
Got it.
Now go to your left.
[Ronny] Got it. Okay. I think I see the tree.
Are you seeing that heat signature?
[Dr. Mireya] It looks like it's hiding directly behind
the tree. There's only a small portion revealed now.
[Ronny] Okay. Thank you.
Ronny, what's going on down there?
[Ronny] I'm hearing some sounds.
I'm trying to get eyes on it.
You're seeing something in front of me?
Negative.
Whatever it was I'm not seeing it anymore.
[beeps]
The thermal camera just died,
so I only have you on IR.
[Ronny] What the [bleep]
I really need this thing to be working.
My vision is obstructed. I can only see so far.
[Dr. Mireya] Yeah. Copy that.
[Ronny] It definitely is creepy out here
I'll tell you that.
I'm in a funky area, I think.
Ronny, do you copy?
[Ronny] I'm hearing something
directly in front of me,
something big is moving,
whatever that was it's...
Ronny, can you hear me?
Whoa. The thermal camera is working again.
- [bleep] - Oh, there it is.
Oh, it's... Yeah.
Ronny, that thing is back.
Oh, my God.
Ronny, it's standing up.
Ronny, can you hear me?
Ronny.
[Dr. Ronny] Mireya.
[intense music playing]
[Dr. Mireya] Holy [bleep] there it is.
Ronny, that thing is back. Ronny, can you hear me?
[Ronny] Mireya.
Ronny.
[narrator] After spotting what appears to be a figure
hiding behind the tree...
[Ronny] Did it go to the left or to the right?
[Dr. Mireya] Move forward, stop walking,
move forward towards the tree.
[narrator] Mireya Mayor is guiding Ronny Le Blanc
to the creature's location.
[intense music playing]
[Ronny] Am I behind the tree now?
[Dr. Mireya] Correct, that's where I saw it.
It was that tree that you're standing behind now.
[Ronny] Whatever that was it's gone.
Wow. That was really close to me.
Couldn't hear when it took off?
[Ronny] I did not. I heard nothing. It was just gone.
There's is so much stuff over here. I can't imagine
how I did not hear that. In the clear cut,
the entire ground is covered with branches and brush,
and what is troubling for me is whatever was picked up on
that thermal camera was big,
it did not make a sound.
Keeps on happening to us. We're losing our eyes
at night. We're gonna have to just check this out
in the morning. I can't tell what is what over here.
[Dr. Mireya] All right. We should also check those
trail camps first thing.
[Ronny] Absolutely.
[Russell] Look at this.
[narrator] Russell has returned to the area
where he spotted a large thermal signature.
[Russell] Zack, check this out.
[Russell speaking]
This whole... This whole ground right through here,
something is going back and down right here.
Do you hear that? Listen to this.
[branches breaking]
What the hell is that?
That's getting close.
[Cameraman speaking]
I don't know but it sounds like it's circling us.
It's right here. [bleep]
Let's go up this way, there's a little way.
[Cameraman speaking]
[Russell] We have to.
Can you see it?
[bleep]
That tree is red hot.
Right there on that tree, right there.
- [Cameraman speaking] - [Russell] No kidding.
[intense music playing]
[Russell] It's disappearing. It's going away.
I think it's on the move.
[Cameraman] Now, tell me what just happened.
[Russell] This whole forest floor is covered with these
ferns and broken sticks all over...
[growling]
[Russell shouts]
Stay on the trail. [Russell shouts]
It just ran at me like a charge.
It's moving away from me right now.
I know that thing is out here somewhere.
It was right here, right in front of me.
I can't hardly see but just this.
Let me get my IR light just to look at that thing here.
Oh, here we go.
Whatever it was who made that sound does not want me here.
[growling]
[Russell speaking]
[narrator] Next time on Expedition Bigfoot.
[Russell] Something charged me to the forest.
[Bryce] Charged at you. Are you okay?
[thuds]
Something just hit the cabin.
- [Russell] Is that a hair? - [man] That's big.
[Russell] This might be the proof that I've been
seeking my whole life.
[Dr. Mireya] There's moving over there.
Holy [bleep] It's huge.
This is the biggest heat signature I've ever seen,
and now there's another one to the left.
There's multiple creatures walking over there.
