1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Alaska, a vast remote wilderness twice the size of Texas.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
There are dangerous, unpredictable forces at work here.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
In one of the most mysterious corners of the globe.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,000
A lot of things can kill you out here without even trying.

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
This is a place hundreds of times more deadly than the Bermuda Triangle.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Oh my God.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Stories of alien abductions.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
I believe it was a UFO.

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
The paranormal, vanishing airplanes and strange beasts.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
The Alaska Bigfoot.

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
He can rip you in half.

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
These accounts are really widespread.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
It peaked out of the tree right there.

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
Have hunted those who dare set foot here.

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,000
In the last 30 years, 16,000 people have disappeared without a trace.

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
More people have disappeared than the Bermuda Triangle.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Two to three times the amount.

18
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Witnesses tell us their shocking stories.

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
I was petrified.

20
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
And we've gathered some of the world's leading experts in their field.

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
I'm always after scientific evidence that can be independently corroborated.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
To try and unlock the mystery of the Alaska Triangle.

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:31,000
The Alaska Triangle could well be the most dangerous place on Earth.

24
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:41,000
You're three times more likely to go missing here than in any other US state.

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:50,000
I believe the Alaska Triangle is far more dangerous, unpredictable,

26
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000
and deadly than the well-known Bermuda Triangle.

27
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,000
In the last 30 years alone, over 16,000 people have gone missing in Alaska.

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Missing as in their bodies were never found.

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Nobody knows what happened to them.

30
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,000
16,000?

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
That doesn't seem possible.

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,000
It's truly frightening.

33
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Alaska has over 57 million acres of designated wilderness.

34
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Much of it totally unexplored.

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And there are species of animals here unknown to man.

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Could one of these be Bigfoot?

37
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Because of its remoteness, there could be more Bigfoot in the triangle than anywhere else.

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Perhaps this is the reason why people are disappearing.

39
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,000
I saw something real huge. It had a lot of dark hair. It's a Bigfoot.

40
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:05,000
It was this Bigfoot. It looked like he was just watching us.

41
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,000
With so much fantastic habitat and so few people to compete with,

42
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Sasquatches basically have the run of Alaska.

43
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:29,000
One man who's on a lifetime journey to find Bigfoot is Cryptozoologist Cliff Berwickman.

44
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Most of his work has been in the lower 48 states.

45
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
But now his hunt has drawn him north.

46
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Cliff has come hundreds of miles off the main road network to one of Alaska's most remote areas.

47
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Alaska is truly America's last frontier.

48
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,000
This is one of the most wild regions anywhere on Earth.

49
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Anything could be hiding out here of any size.

50
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000
It's around Alaska's biggest lake, Iliamna, that there have been some of the best Bigfoot sightings.

51
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Now, Cliff is heading into the wild woods on the southern shores of the lake, around the village of Kokonok.

52
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:26,000
I've been tipped off that a number of people have been seeing a Sasquatch in the local area.

53
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
And I wanted to come out and check out what's going on for myself.

54
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Cliff's aim is to get scientific proof that Bigfoot exists and evidence that the Alaska Triangle is its home.

55
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
For the locals, they don't need this proof.

56
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
They say they know that Bigfoot exists because they've seen them.

57
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Padoosha Andrews has lived here her whole life.

58
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:08,000
One day in the summer of 2015, while at berry picking, her dog raised the alarm.

59
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Pretty soon she started barking so weird.

60
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
I've never heard a dog bark like that before. She would move and jump so high off the ground.

61
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
And I looked at her and I said, what the heck are you doing?

62
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:35,000
And then she did that one more time and I looked over to her. She was looking and I saw something real huge.

63
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:41,000
It had a lot of hair and I saw this dark creature walking away.

64
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Perhaps Padoosha saw a moose.

65
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Or maybe even a bear. Both are common around Alaska.

66
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:03,000
I grew up knowing what a moose looks like. We all know what a bear looks like. We know all that.

67
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Of course, I assume it's a Bigfoot. This is too different.

68
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Since the early 1900s, there have been frequent recordings of Bigfoot sighted in Alaska.

69
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:25,000
And this is despite the fact that this is by far the most thinly populated state.

70
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,000
To have a Sasquatch report, you need a Bigfoot, a person to see it, and then someone to report it to.

71
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
But yet we still have dozens and dozens of them here.

72
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:46,000
Even from the water, there have been some notable sightings.

73
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Ray Wasili has lived on and around Lake Iliumna his whole life.

74
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:08,000
One afternoon in 2004, he was preparing the boat for a camping trip with his brother and their friend.

75
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:15,000
We left from the landing area and we started going across the lake.

76
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,000
When he looked up, he had the shock of his life.

77
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It was this Bigfoot, or Hairyman, on the side of the lake.

78
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,000
It looked like he was just watching us.

79
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Ray's friend, Sarah Armstrong, saw the Bigfoot just as clearly as he did.

80
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:46,000
We were just getting ready and I look off to the right and I can see this black figure.

81
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,000
I'm trying to adjust my eyes and focus and figure out what it is I'm seeing.

82
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:02,000
And just as I'm about to ask, what is that, Ray says, what the hell is that?

83
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Then they realized they were looking at a Bigfoot.

84
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:17,000
It was like a dark black, you know, just furry, long hair, you know.

85
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
You could see it, the outline of it, pretty good.

86
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Now Cliff is hoping for his own Bigfoot encounter.

87
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:38,000
And he's looking in the area just across the lake from where Ray and Sarah had their sighting.

88
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Wow! Check that out, that is amazing!

89
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Prime Bigfoot habitat as far as the eye can see.

90
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:59,000
If there are Bigfoot out there, Cliff wants to find them.

91
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,000
But do they want to be found?

92
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:11,000
If there's one place on earth where legend comes alive, it's the Alaska Triangle.

93
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And there's no greater legend than Bigfoot.

94
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Bigfoot hunter Cliff Berwickman has made the tough journey to Lake Iliamna to go in search.

95
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
If there's anywhere on the planet that Bigfoot's could live undisturbed, it's right here.

96
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000
It was here in 2004 that there was a clear sighting.

97
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
And news of it quickly spread south.

98
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Down in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dr. Lance Hightower is a renowned Bigfoot researcher.

99
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Bigfoot is a very large type of creature.

100
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
Some people would say it looks like an eighth in the face.

101
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Males typically will range anywhere from eight feet, and we have heard as high as twelve feet in height.

102
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
With a shoulder width of four to four and a half feet, as well as three feet thick.

103
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,000
So you're talking a creature that is massive.

104
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
They're very, very elusive.

105
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:30,000
This is what makes it so challenging and difficult for people to really prove that they exist,

106
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,000
because they're so elusive, so evasive, so hard to catch one on footage, on picture.

107
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000
But the best chance could be in the Alaska Triangle.

108
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:49,000
With so much ready game, Bigfoot may even be bigger here.

109
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Everything is larger in Alaska. Why not Bigfoot?

110
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:01,000
The food sources for something as large as a Bigfoot, deer, caribou, moose, is abundant.

111
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Most Bigfoot sightings put the creature at about seven or eight feet.

112
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
The one that Sarah and Ray saw was certainly bigger than that.

113
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:22,000
We could tell that it was at least nine, ten feet.

114
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
And then, bam!

115
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Just like that, you know, it was gone.

116
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Wow, what to say, you know, we've seen a Bigfoot.

117
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:47,000
It's shocking to see something like that, and even more shocking when it just disappears that fast.

118
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
How can you explain something like that?

119
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Whatever it was, one way you don't explain it is by saying it was a bear.

120
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Cockatoch is a bear.

121
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,000
It's a bear.

122
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
It's a bear.

123
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Cockatoch is in a very wild area, and the people who live here live amongst bears.

124
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:23,000
There is almost no chance whatsoever that they would be confusing a standing bear with a Sasquatch.

125
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:30,000
Bears have snouts, they have ears, they lack the large shoulders, and they habitually move about on four legs.

126
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:37,000
While Sasquatches have a flat face, a conical head, wide shoulders, and usually walk around on two legs.

127
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:46,000
To think that these people who live here 365 days a year would be silly enough to mistake a bear for a Sasquatch,

128
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000
well, that's not giving the local people credit.

129
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And there are now those in the scientific community who are convinced that Bigfoot is out there.

130
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Dr. Robert Alley is a retired professor of anatomy and physiology from the University of Alaska.

131
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:08,000
For him, Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, is real.

132
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,000
It's just a matter of what it is.

133
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:22,000
Bigfoot and Sasquatches represent the classic hominid mixing of genes, just as you and I have neanderthal genes.

134
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:31,000
And genes, Sasquatches have a combination of maybe java man giant, homorectus genes, mixed with more modern human genes,

135
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:38,000
and maybe even older human genes. You might say java man on steroids with a fur coat.

136
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:47,000
The long extinct java man was big, about eight feet tall, and twice the overall size of a gorilla.

137
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:57,000
And in his years of research, Dr. Alley has found that this furry java man Bigfoot is dangerous and calculating.

138
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Perhaps most significantly, they're accredited with the abduction of children, abduction of women, even occasionally abduction of men.

139
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Human abduction. If true, this would mean the mystery of all the missing people of the triangle could be, at least in part, down to Bigfoot.

140
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,000
But Bigfoot hunter Cliff Berwickman is still keen to come face to face with one.

141
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:38,000
The Alaska Triangle is very much the analogy of the Bermuda Triangle and the tropics, where planes and people have gone missing.

142
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Within this triangle is 200,000 square miles, much of which has never been explored by any man, so who's to say what mysteries still lie within this triangle?

143
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Alaska is nine times as large as Washington State, until now, commonly thought of as the home of Bigfoot.

144
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
It's now looking as if Alaska is true Bigfoot country.

145
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:13,000
And in the indigenous folklore, the beast has always been here.

146
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Q. Lichard comes from a long line of native shaman.

147
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Story of Bigfoot go way back. They go way further back than when they were in the wild.

148
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:39,000
Stories of Bigfoot go way back. They go way further back than when Westerners came here. The native people knew about them for a long time.

149
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And they weren't considered a mythology for the native people, they're just considered a fact of life. You respect them, you don't mess with them because they're powerful.

150
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
You don't enter their territory.

151
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:56,000
The traditional description of the creature is also a perfect match for modern day sightings.

152
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Bigfoot are probably about as wide as I am tall. They have very broad muscular shoulders.

153
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:15,000
Imagine encountering something that's 6 foot 2 across and 8 foot tall, 12 foot tall. It's a pretty intimidating creature.

154
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Despite this, Bigfoot witnesses Sarah and Ray felt compelled to go and investigate their sighting.

155
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:41,000
They did what others wouldn't dare do. They went to the exact spot where they'd seen the beast.

156
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:46,000
We start looking on the ground.

157
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:06,000
And sure enough, we saw these incredibly large foot tracks all over this area.

158
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:17,000
You could clearly see the toe prints and the heel and it was shaped just like a human foot, but much larger.

159
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,000
For Sarah, it was a strange, eerie experience.

160
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,000
It just seemed private or mystical or just to leave it be.

161
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:40,000
When I got home, I got a call actually from Eric and Ray's mother.

162
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Basically scolding me saying, listen Sarah, don't go looking for this creature when you do come upon it.

163
00:17:54,000 --> 00:18:06,000
It's not safe to do that and they can bother you or haunt you for the rest of your life if it feels threatened by you.

164
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:15,000
And so if you do see it any other time in your life, just acknowledge that you've seen it and go the other way.

165
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,000
It's like you don't bother it and it won't bother you.

166
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Within the native population, bigfoot certainly have spiritual qualities and it's these that could link them to the triangle.

167
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
But where's the scientific evidence? This is what Cliff is after.

168
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:47,000
While he's out on his search, what looks like irrefutable proof comes straight to him.

169
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Cliff receives an email and he knows straight away this is something special.

170
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Alright, I'm checking out this video sent in by a witness from Fairbanks, Alaska, which is smack dab in the Alaska Triangle.

171
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:12,000
This guy was out metal detecting on the beach and he found a very strange set of footprints where he feels there should not have been a strange set of footprints.

172
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:23,000
They're pretty widely spaced.

173
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,000
They're in a straight line that tends to jive with what we think about the way Sasquatches walk.

174
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,000
This video places Bigfoot right in the middle of the Alaska Triangle.

175
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
It was filmed by metal detectorist Keith Lindsay.

176
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Well, it was the spring of 2012, late April, and I heard on the TV that the river was at an all-time low.

177
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:55,000
So, being my hobby's metal detecting, I thought I'd come down to the river and see what I could find.

178
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:24,000
I came down, I started metal detecting, and then when I turned I looked up this way and I saw these big footprints.

179
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
So I thought, hmm, that's strange, so I walked over to investigate them.

180
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I put my coil, which is an 11-inch coil, up to them and they were probably five or six more inches longer, so I thought, wow, that is really weird.

181
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:51,000
And it was still cold, so I thought, well, who's going to be out here walking around in their bare feet and who's got feet that big?

182
00:20:52,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Judging by the size of his detector, these footprints are between 16 and 18 inches long.

183
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:15,000
And then I noticed the stride. The stride was a lot farther than what a normal human being could walk, so I tried to take the stride myself and I was still coming up a foot or two short.

184
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,000
I mean, I would have had to have jumped to almost make that distance.

185
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
That's why I started videotaping was because I thought nobody's going to believe this.

186
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Giant footprints in a straight line and with a stride that's over six feet.

187
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Classic big foot, now caught on video.

188
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:48,000
They are typically flat-footed, they won't have an arch, and one print to another print the distance will be large,

189
00:21:48,000 --> 00:22:01,000
but also they will be in a line. Whereas a human, it has this left and right pattern as it's in a gate cycle, whereas the big foot have a straight line appearance.

190
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:12,000
I never really thought about big foot until I found these footprints. You know, I'm just to the point where I believe it could be.

191
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
We're sending the video to Dr. Robert Alley for his expert analysis.

192
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:30,000
Meanwhile, Cliff's search for big foot is going to take him late into the night, the time when big foot is said to be at his most dangerous.

193
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
There are 129 million acres of forest in Alaska.

194
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:49,000
Much of this forest is totally unexplored by man, and the thickest and most mysterious lies within the Alaska Triangle.

195
00:22:50,000 --> 00:23:02,000
It's here that Cryptozoologist Cliff Barakman is on the hunt for big foot, and it's here that people go missing without a trace, never to be seen again.

196
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:12,000
These footprints caught on video right in the middle of the triangle could be vital big foot evidence.

197
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:21,000
But just off the southern tip of the triangle, there are signs of big foot that are fixed and permanent.

198
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:35,000
On a remote mountain side on Prince of Wales Island, native elder Al Jackson knows of a group of cedar trees that are upside down.

199
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Friends of mine, he was about 15 years old and he hunted with an elder, and the old man told him, if you're ever hunting up on Coalock Mountain, you have to watch out for those big black gorillas that live up there.

200
00:23:52,000 --> 00:24:01,000
He told them then that he said they marked their territories by driving these blown down trees into the ground, upside down.

201
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:11,000
There's no evidence of logging machinery being used. There are no tracks in the area and no marks on the trees.

202
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:20,000
It's known that if you see trees uprooted and driven into the ground upside down with the roots facing upwards, that that's big foot territory.

203
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
It's already dealt with on a trespass, otherwise you're going to suffer the consequences.

204
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:36,000
The strength required to insert a tree the size of the upside down trees on Prince of Wales Island into even the soft musk egg for four feet is absolutely phenomenal.

205
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:45,000
You're looking at maybe 1500 pounds of log and so you certainly need to have a thousand pounds of animal doing that.

206
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:52,000
One thousand pounds. That's three times the weight of an adult male gorilla.

207
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:59,000
But back at Lake Iliamna, Cliff Berwickman is still hoping for that personal encounter.

208
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:07,000
It is just shy at midnight even though it doesn't look like it, but this is what sunset looks like in Alaska.

209
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:17,000
I want to start making noises, basically knocks.

210
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Sasquatch use knocking noises to communicate back and forth with one another.

211
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Maybe they're hitting a tree with a stick, maybe they're clapping, maybe they're doing it with their mouth.

212
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I don't really know, but they make those noises.

213
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,000
I want to start with the lower volume noises thinking that I'm going to be here, boom, making noise.

214
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Now it's a listening game.

215
00:25:51,000 --> 00:26:00,000
For all Cliff knows, there could be a big foot out there watching his every move, perhaps even within yards of him.

216
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:08,000
I may not even be able to tell it's there because these things are masters at disguise.

217
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
You know, they're not putting masks on, they're disguising themselves as the rest of the woods.

218
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:22,000
They're hiding, in other words. These are super ninjas off in the woods and there's a high probability that if one was watching me right now, I would never even know about it.

219
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000
But they do make mistakes every once in a while and that's what I'm going for.

220
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:33,000
I need two mistakes in a row. I need it to come in for a closer look and then I need it to give itself away.

221
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Hopefully by me walking around making some noises in this area, I might draw the curiosity of a Sasquatch.

222
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Sasquatches don't have a lot of weaknesses, but if there is one, it's their intelligence-curiosity.

223
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,000
They're intelligent, they're very elusive, they can almost hide in plain sight.

224
00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:01,000
You could walk right by them and never know them, only if they want to be seen, that's when you'll see a bigfoot.

225
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
If they want to appear, they will. If not, we'll never know it.

226
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Generally these creatures don't want to be seen, they don't want to be encountered.

227
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,000
They are curious, they will approach you, they'll especially approach women and children and they will defend their territories.

228
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Cliffs brought with him a thermal camera.

229
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Anything white is giving off heat.

230
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
Is Bigfoot out there?

231
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,000
For the native community, the elusiveness of Bigfoot comes down to more than just physical stealth.

232
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:55,000
For them, there's no clear distinction between the physical and the spiritual worlds, and Bigfoot has mystical qualities.

233
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,000
Bigfoot are so mysterious and they're so well hidden because they know how to do things that we don't understand.

234
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
They know how to shift in and out of this reality.

235
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:15,000
They know how to change their energy and go into some strange shadow-like form when they pop right back into this reality whenever they want.

236
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:21,000
That's one of the reasons we'll never find them, because as soon as they want to disappear, they literally do disappear.

237
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Does this explain the sudden disappearance of the Bigfoot that Sarah and Ray saw?

238
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
There was something there, and then there wasn't.

239
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Bam. Just like that, you know, it was gone.

240
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
They know how to do things that we don't even understand yet. That's beyond us.

241
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:54,000
For some, the sudden appearance and disappearance of Bigfoot is a sign of other dimensions coming into play.

242
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:02,000
And if Bigfoot is abducting people, this could explain why no trace of them has ever been found.

243
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:09,000
In Fairbanks, Bigfoot does seem to have left his mark.

244
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Dr. Robert Alley is studying Keith's video of the footprints.

245
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:26,000
It shows very clearly a series of footprints leading off without any human footprints in close proximity.

246
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:34,000
With scale, an 11-inch metal detector suggesting tracks of 16, 17, or 18 inches in length.

247
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,000
And toes that are visible very clearly demarcated.

248
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Along with a stride that really stretched out well beyond six feet.

249
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
What is it? Well, really, it's not a bear. It's bipedal.

250
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:59,000
And it doesn't fit into a human range of variability. Really, whether you like it or not, all you have is a Sasquatch or Bigfoot.

251
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
The evidence is mounting that Bigfoot lives in Alaska and that the Alaska Triangle could be the reason.

252
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:16,000
Alaska is pretty amazing. It's really magical. I definitely believe.

253
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
You know, I believe because I saw it.

254
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:28,000
People have seen too much of it for us to not believe them. And I know there's something out there.

255
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:41,000
I am 100% convinced that Bigfoot exists and are real. Maybe in sparse numbers, but definitely, definitely real.

256
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,000
It looks like the mystery of the Alaska Triangle won this round, but I'll be back and I'll challenge it again.

257
00:30:50,000 --> 00:31:00,000
What we know is just a tiny little bit of what is out there. And just because it falls outside of our realm of understanding doesn't mean it's magic or impossible.

258
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
Could Bigfoot somehow be tapping into supernatural forces of the Triangle?

259
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:21,000
If so, then maybe these forces are the reason for them being here. Some believe that Bigfoot could be jumping in and out of wormholes in space and time.

260
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:30,000
There are those who think these forces can even be found using modern technology, and we're going to put that to the test.

261
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Perhaps super powerful force fields and wormholes could be behind the mystery of the Alaska Triangle itself.

262
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:52,000
The greatest mystery of the Alaska Triangle is the inexplicable disappearance of people, boats, and even airplanes.

263
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:57,000
There are some who think this is a sign of other dimensions at work.

264
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:18,000
I think the Alaska Triangle is a special place on the planet that is bending space and time to create this vortex of energy where people go missing, where there are portals or wormholes opening.

265
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,000
But what is it about Alaska that would allow for these phenomena?

266
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:41,000
The Arctic atmosphere is home to one of the wonders of our planet, the aurora borealis, or the northern lights.

267
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:52,000
This incredible light display dances across the sky as the Earth's magnetic field is bombarded by charged particles from the sun.

268
00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:00,000
A thousand miles south of the Arctic Circle lies the city of Vancouver, Canada.

269
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000
More people live in this one city than in the whole of Alaska.

270
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And it's from here that journalist and researcher Johnny Enoch has been looking into some important historical work that could have a bearing on the search for unusual forces in Alaska.

271
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:36,000
In 1972, author and biologist Ivan Sanderson documented 12 places on the planet where there was bizarre weather, strange occurrences, banishing people, and disturbing paranormal occurrences.

272
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Sanderson called these areas vile vortices, where it's thought that an extreme electromagnetic force, the force that holds atoms together, can have an effect on the very fabric of space and time.

273
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,000
The most famous of these vortices, the Vermuda Triangle.

274
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:08,000
A vortex can transform everyday situations into other worldly events.

275
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:13,000
If there was a vortex above the Vermuda Triangle, that would explain everything.

276
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:21,000
A vortex that contorted space and time into a wormhole would mean boats and planes could disappear.

277
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:30,000
If there was any evidence of this in the Vermuda Triangle, then it could explain the Alaska Triangle too.

278
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,000
Now, some first-hand evidence of a vortex has come to light down in Miami, Florida.

279
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:45,000
Vortices definitely exist because I've been through it.

280
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:56,000
In 1970, pilot Bruce Gernon was flying in the Vermuda Triangle, from the small island of Bimini in the Bahamas to Miami.

281
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Shortly after takeoff, he found himself traveling through a strange tunnel in the clouds.

282
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:12,000
When he came out the other end, there was Miami below him. His instruments showed that he'd traveled 100 miles in under three minutes.

283
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:21,000
The tunnel was like a wormhole. When you enter it, you come out in a different place and time.

284
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,000
It was almost like being teleported.

285
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
One night, I was watching television and Ivan Sanderson came on.

286
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:45,000
He was explaining time warps and it was right at that point that I realized that was the key to the mystery that I had just witnessed.

287
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:51,000
So what would make Alaska prime territory for time warps?

288
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,000
One theory points to its abundance of extreme electromagnetic force fields.

289
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Mike Ricksecker is a paranormal investigator with a particular interest in electromagnetism.

290
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:16,000
In 1964, there was a massive earthquake that hit the Anchorage area at 9.2 magnitude, absolutely devastating.

291
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Buildings were toppled, streets were upended, created a lot of destruction around this area.

292
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:26,000
We know that electromagnetic activity has helped to cause this earthquake.

293
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:38,000
So there could be seismic activity, yes, but when we're talking about vortices and this energy that's swelling and we know that vortices are in this area and that electromagnetic activity is in this area,

294
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:51,000
there is metal within that ground. So was this also possibly a swelling of that electromagnetic activity that affected the metal within the ground that helped to cause this earthquake?

295
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:58,000
An increase in electromagnetic readings had been reported before major earthquakes.

296
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
Scientists are yet to understand the reason.

297
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:10,000
And the 64 quake was the biggest earthquake ever recorded in North America, the second biggest ever in the whole world.

298
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:16,000
The epicenter, Prince William Sound on Alaska's southern coast.

299
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Alaska in general is a very volatile area.

300
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Yes, there was the massive earthquake in 1964. There was a massive one in 2018.

301
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:37,000
In 1993 when I was here, there was one that was 6.5 that it was like a cannon went off when it hit and then everything boom just started shaking afterward.

302
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:44,000
When I first showed up in 92, there was ash still falling from the sky from volcanoes that are in the area.

303
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:48,000
So it's an extremely, extremely volatile area up here in Alaska.

304
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:58,000
In fact, Alaska averages 100 minor quakes every day. That's more earthquakes than all the other states combined.

305
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:09,000
In my work, I always talk about how the body is really our best tool for accessing and tapping into supernatural and paranormal activity.

306
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:19,000
Well, the same thing goes with the vortices. Now, it's an electromagnetic activity, so it is affecting your body, which is your greatest tool, your greatest asset.

307
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:27,000
There's one sure way Mike knows how to detect any unusual electromagnetic activity.

308
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,000
So we're up here in the mountains of Alaska. We have some 1,000 rods with us.

309
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:39,000
What I'm going to try to do here is walk around a little bit, see if we start to feel a little bit of something going on.

310
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Then I'll go ahead and stop and see if the activity keeps going.

311
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:55,000
If the rods move, it would be the sign of unusual electromagnetic energy. And this knowledge goes back a long way.

312
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Since ancient times, it's been known that our planet is covered with geomagnetic anomalies and vortices.

313
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:11,000
We know the ancient peoples saw the movement of energy on the planet as a serpent,

314
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:18,000
so that's why every one of these ancient cultures is based around a serpent mythology.

315
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000
To understand the Alaska Triangle, you have to understand that there is an energy grid on our planet.

316
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:32,000
Now, these have been traditionally called laylines, but to the ancient peoples, they call this the serpentine energies.

317
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:39,000
It's these same energies that Mike is trying to detect in the Alaska Triangle.

318
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,000
So we're getting a little push from the left side there.

319
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:57,000
If we move away and that goes back out, then that'll let us know that the activity, the energy was centralized back there.

320
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,000
We can already see a certain move out a little bit.

321
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:02,000
Yeah, see it's moved back out.

322
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,000
As we come back, see it's going, it's moving back as we move back into this area.

323
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,000
Yeah, so this is a hotspot here.

324
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:22,000
So as we come down the mountain side here, we see that the left rod has moved inward and it's maintaining that.

325
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:33,000
So what I would say is that up and down here, there's some sort of line of electromagnetic activity running up and down the mountain side here.

326
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
So it's not running across, but up and down.

327
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:44,000
The line that Mike has found heads due north towards the North Pole just over a thousand miles away.

328
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,000
The intense electromagnetism of the North Pole feeds into the Triangle.

329
00:40:51,000 --> 00:41:02,000
If there is a vortex here, it could be many times more powerful than even the Bermuda Triangle and the force behind thousands of disappearances.

330
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
Alaska is near the North Pole.

331
00:41:06,000 --> 00:41:09,000
The magnetic fields get thinner here.

332
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:17,000
And because of that, when solar storms hit, it lights up the atmosphere because we don't have the magnetic protection of the electromagnetic field.

333
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:28,000
The native population believes this electromagnetic energy can have dangerous spiritual properties.

334
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:40,000
The unusual electromagnetic energy makes it so we have supercharged areas that could allow interdimensional travel or portals to be opened from other realms.

335
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:48,000
If this were true, then these portals could go a long way to explaining the mystery of the Alaska Triangle.

336
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:57,000
I think a lot of people who go missing, hikers and adventurers or people going out in the country can accidentally come across these areas.

337
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
And vanish off the face of the earth.

338
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:10,000
Strange things do happen. Bruce Gernon did have a bizarre experience of some kind.

339
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
And conditions are more extreme in Alaska.

340
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:24,000
So there seems to be a definite relationship, but being so close to the North Pole, maybe the magnetic energy changes this vortex.

341
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:28,000
Instead of being horizontal, perhaps it is vertical.

342
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:34,000
So the one I flew through, when I came out the other end, I went forward in space and time.

343
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:41,000
But in Alaska, if you enter into it, maybe you go right down into the earth and vanish.

344
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,000
We don't have the tools yet to find these possible portals.

345
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:57,000
For now, researchers need to rely on cruder devices to understand the forces at work in Alaska.

346
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Mike is using an electromagnetic field detector.

347
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:13,000
We're going to walk in this general direction, kind of the same as we did with the rods, and see if we can get any indications off of this meter.

348
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:21,000
The detector shows Mike the level of milliwatts per square meter, the power of the electricity in the air.

349
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:28,000
And there's a general electric field, keeps reading at about a point 1.2 right now, so pretty low level.

350
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Here it's a little higher in the electric field. It's between a point 2 and a point 3.

351
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:49,000
We're getting some variations here that we shouldn't be getting, which does give us an indication that there's a little bit something more going on here.

352
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:54,000
Could it be an indicator that the Alaska Triangle is having an effect here?

353
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:03,000
Could these force fields or portals be responsible for the disappearance of countless people around Alaska?

354
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Are they essentially just being pulled in and vanishing without a trace?

355
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:18,000
I believe these vortices are responsible for the mysterious occurrences we've learned about in the Alaska Triangle.

356
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:27,000
And this includes the reports of UFOs, strange creatures, and people vanishing off the face of the earth.

357
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:37,000
As well as leading to vortices, there are those who believe that this effect has attracted visitors from far away.

358
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:46,000
There have been a lot of extraterrestrial sightings in Alaska, a lot of reports, a lot of photography, a lot of video footage.

359
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:57,000
And it makes a lot of sense that there would. You have the electromagnetic activity from the vortices that they could be tapping into.

360
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:12,000
I believe the immense power of the Alaska Triangle is used like a superhighway by extraterrestrials looking to open up portals and connect to other places in the universe.

361
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:23,000
Perhaps one day we'll have the technology needed to discover portals and explore them, as well as other forces that could be at play here.

362
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:32,000
Theories persist, but for now, the secrets of the Alaska Triangle remain just that.

363
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:43,000
And the tales that have emerged from this vast mysterious area suggest there may be something else out there that we're only just beginning to contemplate.
