00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,300
On this episode of Destination Truth, Josh travels to South Africa to locate a giant man-eating river monster.

2
00:00:07,300 --> 00:00:10,300
But watch out, we need to eat, it's not what you tell me.

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:11,800
Do you think it's going to eat me?

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,200
What was that?

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,500
Somebody just move camera 3. There, right over there, right over there.

6
00:00:17,300 --> 00:00:18,700
What is that, right there?

7
00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:20,100
Oh my god, look.

8
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:24,200
Then Josh hunts a pine-sized beast that's been tormenting local villagers.

9
00:00:24,900 --> 00:00:26,300
I want to find a toko-ra-nush.

10
00:00:26,300 --> 00:00:26,900
Toko-ra-nush?

11
00:00:26,900 --> 00:00:27,700
Toko-ra-nush.

12
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:28,300
No!

13
00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,300
But will the creature take the bait?

14
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:33,800
That bottle just moved.

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,000
I'm Josh Gates.

16
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,000
My travels have taken me to the most exotic and mysterious places on Earth.

17
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,500
I've seen some unexplainable things which have raised some strange questions.

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Now, I've pulled together a crack team armed with the latest technology to search for answers.

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,200
I'm not sure what's out there waiting for me, but I know what I'm looking for, the truth.

20
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,200
While everyone is heard of the Loch Ness Monster up in Scotland,

21
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:14,700
when I read in the Reuters wire service that South Africa supposedly has its own Nessie,

22
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,400
my investigator antennas immediately went up.

23
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,400
What I found out, though, is that in South Africa this isn't some friendly creature attracting tourists and hawking t-shirts,

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,400
but a reported river monster said to have taken the lives of seven villagers.

25
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,400
It's called the Mom Lambo, which roughly translated means brain sucker.

26
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,400
It sounds like a bad monster from a John Carpenter movie, I know,

27
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,400
but because of the number of deaths and the widespread panic in the villages near the Mizidlava River,

28
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,400
a South African agriculture community has been forced to take the lives of its residents.

29
00:01:45,100 --> 00:01:49,100
The government and the agriculture minister ordered a task force put together to hunt down the creature,

30
00:01:49,100 --> 00:01:53,100
an African safari hunting down a brain-sucking river monster.

31
00:01:53,100 --> 00:01:55,100
Hemingway, eat your heart out.

32
00:01:55,100 --> 00:01:59,100
The plan was to interview local eye witnesses to learn as much as we could about the Mom Lambo

33
00:01:59,100 --> 00:02:02,100
before hitting the bush using our high-tech tracking equipment

34
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,100
to find physical or audio-visual evidence of the creature.

35
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:08,100
The team and I packed up and caught the next flight to South Africa,

36
00:02:08,100 --> 00:02:11,100
in Durban, the country's busiest port.

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,800
We touched down and headed to meet with a zoologist

38
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,800
who could provide us with a map of where these sightings had occurred.

39
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,800
Follow it up north into the villages and see what you can find.

40
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,800
With the map Dr. Midgeley had given us, we hit the road to the Mizidlava River,

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,800
giving us a chance to see all the wildlife Africa has to offer.

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:32,800
When we stopped to look at a rhino, though,

43
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,800
we learned that Neil had forgotten one thing for our journey into the African plains.

44
00:02:38,500 --> 00:02:40,500
Did your fuel light just come on?

45
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:41,500
It did.

46
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:43,500
Where do you think you're going to get gas from out here?

47
00:02:45,500 --> 00:02:47,500
Why didn't you tell us that we were running low on gas?

48
00:02:47,500 --> 00:02:49,500
It just went down.

49
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,500
It used to wait down. There's a rhino outside the car.

50
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:53,500
Yes, hello. We're in the park.

51
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:55,500
We're on our way up to Hilltop as we speak.

52
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,500
We're almost out of petrol.

53
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,500
Do you guys have any gas, petrol, diesel?

54
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:01,500
It needs to be diesel.

55
00:03:02,500 --> 00:03:04,500
I'm sorry, it closes at five o'clock.

56
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:06,500
We're going to be there in 15 minutes.

57
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Can you keep it open?

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
I said full responsibility.

59
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,200
This is all my fault.

60
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,200
If we run out, I will walk through the game reserve with a live animal.

61
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,200
That is such a lie.

62
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,200
That is awesome.

63
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
That is such a lie.

64
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,200
With the sun dropping quickly,

65
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,200
the vultures licking their chops and the rhinos getting testy.

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,200
I had my fill of the circle of life

67
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,200
and was happy to find some gas

68
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,200
and get back on the road to the Mizidlava River

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,200
and the village where several people had reportedly been drowned by the monster.

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,200
We stopped to look at the rhino

71
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,900
We stopped just outside of the village

72
00:03:37,900 --> 00:03:39,900
to meet with a game ranger

73
00:03:39,900 --> 00:03:41,900
to find out why the government had commissioned him

74
00:03:41,900 --> 00:03:43,900
to hunt the Mamlongbo

75
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:45,900
and what signs to look for while searching for the river monster.

76
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,900
You were commissioned a few years ago to go and

77
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:49,900
find this creature in the river.

78
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:51,900
The Minister of Agriculture at the time in the Eastern Cape

79
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:53,900
had heard that there was this monster

80
00:03:53,900 --> 00:03:55,900
in rivers and deep pools.

81
00:03:55,900 --> 00:03:57,900
The reports were that the eyes were sucked out

82
00:03:57,900 --> 00:03:59,900
and they were drained of their blood.

83
00:03:59,900 --> 00:04:01,900
So people believed that it was this particular monster

84
00:04:01,900 --> 00:04:03,900
which had a supposedly

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600
head of a horse

86
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,600
and the body of a fish

87
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,600
and comes out when there's a tornado

88
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,600
that's very often attributed.

89
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Monsters are supposed to come out of those rivers

90
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,600
when you have these big storms.

91
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,600
They could think that that's the revenge of the river monsters.

92
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,600
So do you think there's a possibility

93
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,600
that there is some sort of large animal living in these rivers

94
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,600
and in these deep pools that these people are seeing?

95
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,600
We haven't found any fossil records

96
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,600
we haven't found any bones of those type of animals

97
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,600
but I'm not saying that it's impossible

98
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,600
that that sort of animal exists.

99
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,300
There's no evidence of that.

100
00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:37,300
There's no evidence of animals and reptiles

101
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,300
and so forth to this day.

102
00:04:39,300 --> 00:04:41,300
We learned two things that night

103
00:04:41,300 --> 00:04:43,300
that natives see storms

104
00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:45,300
as a sign of the Mamlambos presence

105
00:04:45,300 --> 00:04:47,300
and that there is no Marriott

106
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:49,300
in the middle of South Africa.

107
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,300
Eventually though we found a hotel in Coxdad

108
00:04:51,300 --> 00:04:53,300
and I am using the word hotel loosely.

109
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:55,300
We got a couple of beds.

110
00:04:55,300 --> 00:04:57,300
There's electricity here which is kind of a rarity.

111
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:59,300
It's running off a generator

112
00:04:59,300 --> 00:05:01,300
which goes off in an hour.

113
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:03,300
And a couple of beds.

114
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:05,300
And what else do you need?

115
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:09,300
My pants that supposedly are bug proof.

116
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:11,300
Bugs can't fight through these pants somehow.

117
00:05:11,300 --> 00:05:13,300
The other amazing thing about them is that they're also

118
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:15,300
drill proof.

119
00:05:15,300 --> 00:05:17,300
It keeps bugs and women out.

120
00:05:17,300 --> 00:05:19,300
But before the generators turned off

121
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,300
we got to experience firsthand

122
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:23,300
that wild and crazy Coxdad night life

123
00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,300
you've been hearing so much about.

124
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,300
We even got to try some local delicacies.

125
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:37,300
I think it might be goat.

126
00:05:37,300 --> 00:05:39,300
I think it might be not going in my stomach.

127
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,300
The food as it turned out

128
00:05:41,300 --> 00:05:43,300
wasn't that bad.

129
00:05:43,300 --> 00:05:45,300
The dancing, well that's a different story altogether.

130
00:05:45,300 --> 00:05:47,300
The next morning we met with our local translator

131
00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:49,300
and arrived at the Mamlambos village.

132
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,300
She says she quite left to the taxi

133
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:53,300
and as she got in she saw this thing

134
00:05:53,300 --> 00:05:55,300
behind the bridge.

135
00:05:55,300 --> 00:05:57,300
In the area of the bridge that connects the two villages?

136
00:05:57,300 --> 00:05:59,300
Yes.

137
00:05:59,300 --> 00:06:01,300
And how big was it?

138
00:06:01,300 --> 00:06:03,300
It's taller than us.

139
00:06:03,300 --> 00:06:05,300
And you think it's very dangerous?

140
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,300
Yes, it's dangerous.

141
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:09,300
She says we've just got to Chief Giorgio and you tell us.

142
00:06:09,300 --> 00:06:11,300
So it's where we're going to.

143
00:06:11,300 --> 00:06:13,300
So if I was going to try to look for this creature

144
00:06:13,300 --> 00:06:15,300
where would I look?

145
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:19,300
You can start from the bridge and you go up

146
00:06:19,300 --> 00:06:21,300
and you look under the banks and all that

147
00:06:21,300 --> 00:06:23,300
but watch out when he eats you there's nobody to help you.

148
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:25,300
Does he think that's what's going to happen?

149
00:06:25,300 --> 00:06:27,300
Do you think it's going to eat me?

150
00:06:27,300 --> 00:06:29,300
I've come and reported Gautz being eaten.

151
00:06:29,300 --> 00:06:31,300
We headed to the bridge that the Chief had told us about

152
00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:33,300
as it seemed the best place to set up our surveillance

153
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:37,300
and find any evidence of the Mamlambos river monsters' existence.

154
00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:39,300
This is definitely the spot.

155
00:06:39,300 --> 00:06:41,300
This seems like a nice deep portion of the river here.

156
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:43,300
We've got a good sandbar we can set up on.

157
00:06:43,300 --> 00:06:45,300
It seems kind of ideal, yeah?

158
00:06:45,300 --> 00:06:47,300
So we should set everything up.

159
00:06:47,300 --> 00:06:49,300
This is a great little bank that comes out here.

160
00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:51,300
We can set up the cameras there facing in both directions

161
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:53,300
and get a pretty good view of this section of the river.

162
00:06:53,300 --> 00:06:55,300
The zoologist said that slower moving sections

163
00:06:55,300 --> 00:06:57,300
of the river could make it look like

164
00:06:57,300 --> 00:06:59,300
maybe the creature would be living in.

165
00:06:59,300 --> 00:07:01,300
So it picks up a little bit down here

166
00:07:01,300 --> 00:07:03,300
so this seems just perfect in here.

167
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:05,300
We can set up cameras looking either way.

168
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:07,300
Yeah, for sure. Set it up.

169
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:09,300
So we broke out our surveillance cameras and audio gear

170
00:07:09,300 --> 00:07:11,300
to track any odd movements in the water

171
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:13,300
that could be the Mamlambos.

172
00:07:13,300 --> 00:07:15,300
MUSIC

173
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:17,300
Do you guys realize that Neil just left us here?

174
00:07:19,300 --> 00:07:21,300
I tell you I secretly hope it rains really hard

175
00:07:21,300 --> 00:07:23,300
because I think that would look great.

176
00:07:23,300 --> 00:07:25,300
Cut to.

177
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:27,300
That was close.

178
00:07:31,300 --> 00:07:33,300
What do you think?

179
00:07:33,300 --> 00:07:35,300
No, don't worry. We just fit it.

180
00:07:35,300 --> 00:07:37,300
As long as we fit everything in there.

181
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:39,300
Look up.

182
00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:41,300
Supposedly the Mamlambos comes out during storms

183
00:07:41,300 --> 00:07:43,300
and these definitely look like storm clouds to me.

184
00:07:45,300 --> 00:07:47,300
I think they're storm clouds.

185
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:49,300
Not good. I mean, we're out in the middle of a river.

186
00:07:49,300 --> 00:07:51,300
A ton of electronic equipment.

187
00:07:51,300 --> 00:07:53,300
With no shelter.

188
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:55,300
And no car.

189
00:07:55,300 --> 00:07:57,300
No shelter.

190
00:07:57,300 --> 00:07:59,300
We'll be fine.

191
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:01,300
Hey, if the storm comes, maybe the Mamlambos will come

192
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,300
like they're interested.

193
00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:05,300
I think if the storm comes, we're all in a bad spot,

194
00:08:05,300 --> 00:08:07,300
is what I think.

195
00:08:07,300 --> 00:08:09,300
One camera upstream.

196
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:11,300
Okay. Okay.

197
00:08:11,300 --> 00:08:13,300
Two cameras upstream.

198
00:08:13,300 --> 00:08:15,300
This bank and this bank.

199
00:08:15,300 --> 00:08:17,300
Camera out here.

200
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:19,300
Camera out here.

201
00:08:19,300 --> 00:08:21,300
Okay.

202
00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:23,300
So we'll see how far this cork can reach.

203
00:08:23,300 --> 00:08:25,300
Maybe bank first.

204
00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:27,300
Something just jumped out of there.

205
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:29,300
Oh my God.

206
00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:31,300
Crispy traveling toward us.

207
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,300
What is that right there?

208
00:08:33,300 --> 00:08:35,300
F***!

209
00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:37,300
Good!

210
00:08:37,300 --> 00:08:39,300
Eric, in the tent. Come on.

211
00:08:39,300 --> 00:08:41,300
We just started to set up our surveillance

212
00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:43,300
for our South African river monster investigation

213
00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:45,300
when Lindsay surveilled something with her own eyes.

214
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,300
What was that?

215
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,300
Something jumped out of that.

216
00:08:49,300 --> 00:08:51,300
Oh my God, look over there.

217
00:08:51,300 --> 00:08:53,300
Really? See where that big ripple is?

218
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:55,300
Yeah.

219
00:08:55,300 --> 00:08:57,300
Something just jumped out of there.

220
00:08:57,300 --> 00:08:59,300
It appears to be traveling toward us.

221
00:08:59,300 --> 00:09:01,300
Oh my God.

222
00:09:01,300 --> 00:09:03,300
Literally jumped out of there.

223
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:05,300
Literally traveling towards us.

224
00:09:05,300 --> 00:09:07,300
So we're going to go down the river.

225
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,300
Literally traveling towards us.

226
00:09:09,300 --> 00:09:11,300
You didn't see the head pop out of there?

227
00:09:13,300 --> 00:09:15,300
What is that right there?

228
00:09:17,300 --> 00:09:19,300
This tornado that's coming toward us?

229
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,300
Do you see it?

230
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:23,300
In the tent.

231
00:09:23,300 --> 00:09:25,300
In the tent. Come on.

232
00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:27,300
In the tent.

233
00:09:29,300 --> 00:09:31,300
Eric, in the tent. Come on.

234
00:09:31,300 --> 00:09:33,300
Eric, in the tent. Come on.

235
00:09:37,300 --> 00:09:39,300
What's Neil's number?

236
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:41,300
Where are you?

237
00:09:43,300 --> 00:09:45,300
I'm inside a tent in the middle of a lightning storm.

238
00:09:47,300 --> 00:09:49,300
It's f***ing terrible here right now.

239
00:09:49,300 --> 00:09:51,300
We're getting around.

240
00:09:51,300 --> 00:09:53,300
This can't be safe for the crew.

241
00:09:53,300 --> 00:09:55,300
Just get back here as soon as you can.

242
00:09:55,300 --> 00:09:57,300
Here's the thing though.

243
00:09:57,300 --> 00:09:59,300
We're about 20 minutes away from being

244
00:09:59,300 --> 00:10:01,300
completely saltmined here.

245
00:10:01,300 --> 00:10:03,300
It's going to come up to the floors.

246
00:10:03,300 --> 00:10:05,300
And I also think this embankment we're sitting on

247
00:10:05,300 --> 00:10:07,300
is going to saturate.

248
00:10:07,300 --> 00:10:09,300
So we need to get out of here.

249
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:11,300
F***!

250
00:10:11,300 --> 00:10:13,300
Good! God almighty!

251
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,300
All right, I'm going to get out.

252
00:10:21,300 --> 00:10:23,300
Is that Neil?

253
00:10:23,300 --> 00:10:25,300
Take the bullard.

254
00:10:25,300 --> 00:10:27,300
I'll take some of these cases up for the road.

255
00:10:29,300 --> 00:10:31,300
Carter!

256
00:10:31,300 --> 00:10:33,300
Come on, let's get out of here.

257
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:35,300
Neil's here. He's trying to back the van up.

258
00:10:41,300 --> 00:10:43,300
Yeah!

259
00:10:43,300 --> 00:10:45,300
Big lightning strike right there.

260
00:10:45,300 --> 00:10:47,300
Come on guys, let's go.

261
00:10:49,300 --> 00:10:51,300
You see anything out there?

262
00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:57,300
Come on, we're getting out of here.

263
00:10:57,300 --> 00:10:59,300
Seriously.

264
00:10:59,300 --> 00:11:01,300
We need to get out of here soon.

265
00:11:01,300 --> 00:11:03,300
Those are getting closer and closer.

266
00:11:03,300 --> 00:11:05,300
Big lightning strike right there.

267
00:11:05,300 --> 00:11:07,300
I'm not having you guys get hit by lightning.

268
00:11:07,300 --> 00:11:09,300
Let's go.

269
00:11:09,300 --> 00:11:11,300
Look out.

270
00:11:11,300 --> 00:11:13,300
I don't think we've seen that one.

271
00:11:19,300 --> 00:11:21,300
I'm not confused anymore.

272
00:11:21,300 --> 00:11:23,300
I'm not confused anymore.

273
00:11:23,300 --> 00:11:25,300
Neil?

274
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:27,300
You want to be a dude to your tent?

275
00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:29,300
You want to take it?

276
00:11:29,300 --> 00:11:31,300
Yeah.

277
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:33,300
It's close.

278
00:11:33,300 --> 00:11:35,300
Take the tarp.

279
00:11:41,300 --> 00:11:43,300
Come on, everybody in the car.

280
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:49,300
Carter, let's go.

281
00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:53,300
Nice work, everybody.

282
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:55,300
If thunderstorms are a sign of angering the Mom Lambo,

283
00:11:55,300 --> 00:11:57,300
then I for one will never make

284
00:11:57,300 --> 00:11:59,300
a yo mom Lambo joke again.

285
00:11:59,300 --> 00:12:01,300
Everybody okay?

286
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:03,300
Yeah.

287
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:05,300
You know what the villagers would say about this?

288
00:12:05,300 --> 00:12:07,300
They'd say that we angered the monster.

289
00:12:07,300 --> 00:12:09,300
We angered the monster.

290
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:11,300
That's why this happened.

291
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:13,300
In the morning they're going to find a tent,

292
00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:15,300
they're going to be like a f***ing snake, eight, six more.

293
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:17,300
The tent didn't survive the storm,

294
00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:19,300
but luckily we did.

295
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:21,300
And the next morning I showed the local kids

296
00:12:21,300 --> 00:12:23,300
that I hadn't been killed by the river monster

297
00:12:23,300 --> 00:12:25,300
because I had a few tricks up my sleeve.

298
00:12:27,300 --> 00:12:29,300
Hello?

299
00:12:29,300 --> 00:12:31,300
Dry and alive,

300
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:33,300
we met with Nothabak,

301
00:12:33,300 --> 00:12:35,300
a woman whose friend hadn't been as lucky

302
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:37,300
and who she claimed was dragged below the surface

303
00:12:37,300 --> 00:12:39,300
of the water by the Mom Lambo.

304
00:12:39,300 --> 00:12:41,300
What did you see?

305
00:12:41,300 --> 00:12:43,300
We just want to swim in the river.

306
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,300
We just called her.

307
00:12:45,300 --> 00:12:47,300
Hey, where are you?

308
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:49,300
She didn't come.

309
00:12:49,300 --> 00:12:51,300
He said he saw the snake in the river.

310
00:12:51,300 --> 00:12:53,300
Did he say how big the creature was?

311
00:12:53,300 --> 00:12:55,300
Yeah, he said it's big, one-hate.

312
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:57,300
How many people have died in the river?

313
00:12:57,300 --> 00:12:59,300
From my estimation,

314
00:12:59,300 --> 00:13:01,300
I'm thinking four or five, I know.

315
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:03,300
Nothabak then took us to her friend, Luiso,

316
00:13:03,300 --> 00:13:05,300
who claimed to actually have seen the creature

317
00:13:05,300 --> 00:13:07,300
drown the victim in the water.

318
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,300
He saw this creature with his own two eyes?

319
00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,300
He says that he looked very like a horse.

320
00:13:11,300 --> 00:13:13,300
He says it looked like a fish.

321
00:13:13,300 --> 00:13:15,300
Was he very afraid when he saw this?

322
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:17,300
He says it was very frightful.

323
00:13:17,300 --> 00:13:19,300
And where does he think the best place is

324
00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:21,300
for me to look?

325
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,300
What part of the river has the most sightings?

326
00:13:23,300 --> 00:13:25,300
He told us he'd seen the creature

327
00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:27,300
only days before in a river bend

328
00:13:27,300 --> 00:13:29,300
a kilometer away, so that's where we had to go.

329
00:13:31,300 --> 00:13:33,300
Good news is there's no rain clouds tonight.

330
00:13:33,300 --> 00:13:35,300
Oh, my God.

331
00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:37,300
Big lightning.

332
00:13:37,300 --> 00:13:39,300
Some people say the mumlumbos

333
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:41,300
attracted to lightning storms.

334
00:13:41,300 --> 00:13:43,300
Wait, what's that?

335
00:13:43,300 --> 00:13:45,300
There's like a head moving in the water. Look.

336
00:13:53,300 --> 00:13:55,300
We'd been lucky enough to not only survive

337
00:13:55,300 --> 00:13:57,300
the South African storm of the century,

338
00:13:57,300 --> 00:13:59,300
but to find an eyewitness who claimed

339
00:13:59,300 --> 00:14:01,300
to have seen the mumlumbo river monster

340
00:14:01,300 --> 00:14:03,300
only days earlier.

341
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,300
So we headed to the spot along the Mizzet Lava River

342
00:14:05,300 --> 00:14:07,300
where we had the best chance of capturing evidence

343
00:14:07,300 --> 00:14:09,300
of the underwater beast using our tracking equipment.

344
00:14:09,300 --> 00:14:11,300
You guys want to know the good news or the bad news?

345
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:13,300
Bad news. Good news is there's no rain clouds tonight.

346
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:15,300
It's very good news.

347
00:14:15,300 --> 00:14:17,300
Bad news is we're using one or two of you for bait.

348
00:14:17,300 --> 00:14:19,300
Actually, the chief said that we should

349
00:14:19,300 --> 00:14:21,300
comply with the rules of the river.

350
00:14:21,300 --> 00:14:23,300
Actually, the chief said that we should completely

351
00:14:23,300 --> 00:14:25,300
avoid getting in the water at all costs.

352
00:14:25,300 --> 00:14:27,300
Because the mumlumbo?

353
00:14:27,300 --> 00:14:29,300
That and there are thousands of parasites all along the river

354
00:14:29,300 --> 00:14:31,300
and I am not sure you want to hear what the parasite does.

355
00:14:31,300 --> 00:14:33,300
But it crawls up your urethra.

356
00:14:33,300 --> 00:14:35,300
And it has like a set of teeth on it

357
00:14:35,300 --> 00:14:37,300
and it crawls up inside your urethra

358
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:39,300
and then lodges itself in your urethra.

359
00:14:39,300 --> 00:14:41,300
No.

360
00:14:41,300 --> 00:14:43,300
Hey, Lins, do all the wiring to the cameras.

361
00:14:43,300 --> 00:14:45,300
I think what we'll do is

362
00:14:45,300 --> 00:14:47,300
we'll put one right there.

363
00:14:47,300 --> 00:14:49,300
Okay.

364
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,300
Two across.

365
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:53,300
And one face over that way.

366
00:14:53,300 --> 00:14:55,300
And we got about probably half an hour or so

367
00:14:55,300 --> 00:14:57,300
before sunset and we should keep the angles low on them

368
00:14:57,300 --> 00:14:59,300
so it's just picking up the surface of the water really.

369
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:01,300
Okay.

370
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,300
Maybe like nothing above the surface of the rocks there.

371
00:15:03,300 --> 00:15:05,300
If an enormous river monster comes out of this water,

372
00:15:05,300 --> 00:15:07,300
what's our plan of attack?

373
00:15:07,300 --> 00:15:09,300
You all keep shooting.

374
00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,300
That's what I like to hear.

375
00:15:11,300 --> 00:15:13,300
Since swimming in the river was almost as dangerous

376
00:15:13,300 --> 00:15:15,300
because of parasites as of the mumlumbo,

377
00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:17,300
we needed to figure out a way to get the camera

378
00:15:17,300 --> 00:15:19,300
out of the river and get it out of the river.

379
00:15:19,300 --> 00:15:21,300
What do you think would float the best?

380
00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:23,300
The big case, yeah.

381
00:15:23,300 --> 00:15:25,300
Our best option was to attach a camera

382
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:27,300
to one of the camera cases and then float it out

383
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,300
into the middle of the river.

384
00:15:29,300 --> 00:15:31,300
We'd also attach the fish finder sonar unit

385
00:15:31,300 --> 00:15:33,300
to the side of it to detect any living

386
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,300
creature swimming around it.

387
00:15:35,300 --> 00:15:37,300
It was a good plan, only we needed to figure out

388
00:15:37,300 --> 00:15:39,300
exactly how to get the case out in the river

389
00:15:39,300 --> 00:15:41,300
without it just floating away.

390
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:43,300
It's like Kelly did Chrissy from Jaws,

391
00:15:43,300 --> 00:15:45,300
the girl who gets eaten in the beginning,

392
00:15:45,300 --> 00:15:47,300
and then we get out of the river with a loop in it.

393
00:15:47,300 --> 00:15:49,300
We throw that as far as we can.

394
00:15:49,300 --> 00:15:51,300
Then we loop through this line

395
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:53,300
and that allows us to pull the out

396
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,300
deeper into the river,

397
00:15:55,300 --> 00:15:57,300
if that makes any sense.

398
00:15:57,300 --> 00:15:59,300
Then you have to get this rock in the middle of the water.

399
00:15:59,300 --> 00:16:01,300
That's the problem.

400
00:16:01,300 --> 00:16:03,300
I picked a rock that's too heavy.

401
00:16:09,300 --> 00:16:11,300
All the sightings in the past month

402
00:16:11,300 --> 00:16:13,300
have been on this stretch of river

403
00:16:13,300 --> 00:16:15,300
and all seem to occur at night,

404
00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,300
so hopefully we'll be able to capture something

405
00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:19,300
on the cameras if we wait.

406
00:16:25,300 --> 00:16:27,300
We have all four cameras up and running.

407
00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:29,300
Camera one is about 30 feet up the river

408
00:16:29,300 --> 00:16:31,300
pointing to the north.

409
00:16:31,300 --> 00:16:33,300
Camera two is here at the base camp

410
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:35,300
pointing directly across the river,

411
00:16:35,300 --> 00:16:37,300
where we can see camera three,

412
00:16:37,300 --> 00:16:39,300
which is itself pointed up the river to the north,

413
00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:41,300
and camera four pointed toward

414
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:43,300
the other side of the river.

415
00:16:49,300 --> 00:16:51,300
I feel like we're in the middle of nowhere.

416
00:16:51,300 --> 00:16:53,300
Yep.

417
00:16:53,300 --> 00:16:55,300
Middle of nowhere, South Africa.

418
00:16:55,300 --> 00:16:57,300
Middle of nowhere, South Africa on the edge of a dark river.

419
00:16:57,300 --> 00:16:59,300
On a dark night,

420
00:16:59,300 --> 00:17:01,300
looking for a river monster.

421
00:17:01,300 --> 00:17:03,300
You know, I'm kind of surprised there's been

422
00:17:03,300 --> 00:17:05,300
a really good sea monster movie.

423
00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:07,300
Goonies.

424
00:17:07,300 --> 00:17:09,300
Goonies is not about a sea monster.

425
00:17:09,300 --> 00:17:11,300
Anything on the solar air?

426
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:13,300
No, nothing yet.

427
00:17:13,300 --> 00:17:15,300
Just happy we're not getting hit by lightning.

428
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:17,300
It's a welcome change.

429
00:17:17,300 --> 00:17:19,300
Knock on wood.

430
00:17:19,300 --> 00:17:21,300
Just don't jinx it.

431
00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:23,300
We said that last night.

432
00:17:23,300 --> 00:17:25,300
Oh, my God.

433
00:17:25,300 --> 00:17:27,300
Not again.

434
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:29,300
There's the mom-lambos signal. Everybody be on alert.

435
00:17:29,300 --> 00:17:31,300
Lindsay, you keep an eye on the cameras.

436
00:17:31,300 --> 00:17:33,300
I'll just take the headlamps and just walk around

437
00:17:33,300 --> 00:17:35,300
and see what I can see.

438
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:37,300
All right, get them up.

439
00:17:39,300 --> 00:17:41,300
I'm going to just

440
00:17:41,300 --> 00:17:43,300
storm off in the distance this way,

441
00:17:43,300 --> 00:17:45,300
which after last night,

442
00:17:45,300 --> 00:17:47,300
obviously, we're keeping a very close eye on.

443
00:17:47,300 --> 00:17:49,300
And, um,

444
00:17:49,300 --> 00:17:51,300
big lightning.

445
00:17:51,300 --> 00:17:53,300
It's a sign of the mom-lambos,

446
00:17:53,300 --> 00:17:55,300
so let's see what I can find in the infrared binoculars.

447
00:17:55,300 --> 00:17:57,300
All right.

448
00:17:57,300 --> 00:17:59,300
Hold on.

449
00:17:59,300 --> 00:18:01,300
I thought I saw something.

450
00:18:01,300 --> 00:18:03,300
Never mind.

451
00:18:03,300 --> 00:18:05,300
A lot of lightning.

452
00:18:05,300 --> 00:18:07,300
Let's head back to camp.

453
00:18:07,300 --> 00:18:09,300
The good news is that some people say

454
00:18:09,300 --> 00:18:11,300
that mom-lambos is attracted to lightning storms,

455
00:18:11,300 --> 00:18:13,300
so all we can do is wait.

456
00:18:13,300 --> 00:18:15,300
We need to get out of here.

457
00:18:15,300 --> 00:18:17,300
We need to get out of here.

458
00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:19,300
We need to get out of here.

459
00:18:19,300 --> 00:18:21,300
We need to get out of here.

460
00:18:21,300 --> 00:18:23,300
We need to get out of here.

461
00:18:23,300 --> 00:18:25,300
We need to get out of here.

462
00:18:25,300 --> 00:18:27,300
Hang on.

463
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:42,300
Wait...

464
00:18:42,300 --> 00:18:44,300
What's that?

465
00:18:44,300 --> 00:18:46,300
There's, like, a head moving in the water. Look.

466
00:18:46,300 --> 00:18:48,300
Somebody just moved to camera 3.

467
00:18:48,300 --> 00:18:50,300
Carter, come here, there. Right over there.

468
00:18:50,300 --> 00:18:52,300
Right there, do you see it?

469
00:18:52,300 --> 00:18:53,300
What's that?

470
00:18:53,300 --> 00:19:02,020
The bad news is we got lightning in the distance.

471
00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:06,460
The good news is that the Montlambos is supposedly attracted to storms, so we might see a South

472
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,460
African river monster yet.

473
00:19:08,460 --> 00:19:10,580
Wait, what's that?

474
00:19:10,580 --> 00:19:13,420
There's like a head moving in the water.

475
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:14,420
Look!

476
00:19:14,420 --> 00:19:16,460
It's on camera too, right next to that rock.

477
00:19:16,460 --> 00:19:18,660
No, that my friend is a frog.

478
00:19:18,660 --> 00:19:20,860
See how it climbs up over the rock?

479
00:19:20,860 --> 00:19:23,860
She's the head of a horse and the body of a fish.

480
00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:26,860
Look at that tail there.

481
00:19:26,860 --> 00:19:29,860
It looked big to me.

482
00:19:29,860 --> 00:19:30,860
Cup of tape.

483
00:19:30,860 --> 00:19:32,860
You think I'm crazy?

484
00:19:32,860 --> 00:19:39,860
So many people agree that they saw something big.

485
00:19:39,860 --> 00:19:46,860
Over the last ten years a lot of people have disappeared and washed up, eaten or mutilated

486
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:47,860
on this river.

487
00:19:47,860 --> 00:19:48,860
That's certainly real.

488
00:19:48,860 --> 00:19:49,860
There's a real fear of this river.

489
00:19:49,860 --> 00:19:50,860
They just don't want to mess with it.

490
00:19:50,860 --> 00:19:51,860
One second.

491
00:19:51,860 --> 00:19:52,860
Something just moved camera three.

492
00:19:52,860 --> 00:19:53,860
Carter, come here!

493
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:54,860
Carter, come here!

494
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:55,860
There, right there, over there!

495
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:56,860
Lindsay the light, come here!

496
00:19:56,860 --> 00:19:57,860
Can't be the binoculars.

497
00:19:57,860 --> 00:19:58,860
Right there, do you see it?

498
00:19:58,860 --> 00:19:59,860
What was that?

499
00:19:59,860 --> 00:20:00,860
The whole case moved.

500
00:20:00,860 --> 00:20:01,860
It was something like a gun.

501
00:20:01,860 --> 00:20:02,860
The whole case moved.

502
00:20:02,860 --> 00:20:03,860
It was something like a gun.

503
00:20:03,860 --> 00:20:04,860
I'm telling you, it wasn't a gun.

504
00:20:04,860 --> 00:20:05,860
It was a gun.

505
00:20:05,860 --> 00:20:06,860
It was the black thing.

506
00:20:06,860 --> 00:20:07,860
It was a gun.

507
00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:09,860
Hand me the binoculars.

508
00:20:09,860 --> 00:20:11,860
Right there. Do you see it?

509
00:20:13,860 --> 00:20:15,860
What was that?

510
00:20:15,860 --> 00:20:17,860
The whole case moved.

511
00:20:17,860 --> 00:20:19,860
Like there was something under it that nudged it.

512
00:20:23,860 --> 00:20:25,860
Could have been a frog.

513
00:20:25,860 --> 00:20:27,860
No, the camera went up in the air.

514
00:20:30,860 --> 00:20:32,860
I'm not seeing anything on the binoculars.

515
00:20:38,860 --> 00:20:40,860
Whatever it was, it's gone now.

516
00:20:46,860 --> 00:20:48,860
Alright, let's play it back and take a look at it.

517
00:20:52,860 --> 00:20:53,860
Right there.

518
00:20:53,860 --> 00:20:54,860
I think that's a big move.

519
00:20:54,860 --> 00:20:55,860
Look at that.

520
00:20:55,860 --> 00:20:58,860
The entire case moves around so much.

521
00:20:58,860 --> 00:21:00,860
I mean, something just knocks it.

522
00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:03,860
Something's either swimming by it or coming up underneath it.

523
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:05,860
Let's pull the camera too.

524
00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:08,860
It doesn't just get knocked.

525
00:21:08,860 --> 00:21:10,860
It gets lifted off the water.

526
00:21:10,860 --> 00:21:12,860
Look at the light. See, it goes up in the air.

527
00:21:12,860 --> 00:21:15,860
If you look here, it looks like something white.

528
00:21:15,860 --> 00:21:16,860
See it?

529
00:21:16,860 --> 00:21:17,860
Yeah, right there.

530
00:21:17,860 --> 00:21:18,860
It's real nice.

531
00:21:18,860 --> 00:21:19,860
I'm right.

532
00:21:19,860 --> 00:21:20,860
Watch.

533
00:21:20,860 --> 00:21:21,860
Right here.

534
00:21:23,860 --> 00:21:24,860
Right there. See?

535
00:21:24,860 --> 00:21:25,860
Yes.

536
00:21:26,860 --> 00:21:28,860
It looks like something goes by the camera.

537
00:21:31,860 --> 00:21:32,860
What is that?

538
00:21:33,860 --> 00:21:36,860
With no more strange sightings that night,

539
00:21:36,860 --> 00:21:38,860
come morning we packed up and headed to Durban

540
00:21:38,860 --> 00:21:40,860
to ship our footage to a biologist

541
00:21:40,860 --> 00:21:43,860
to find out what he thought might have brushed past our camera.

542
00:21:43,860 --> 00:21:45,860
Before leaving South Africa, though,

543
00:21:45,860 --> 00:21:47,860
I wanted to investigate one of the country's

544
00:21:47,860 --> 00:21:50,860
most notorious mythical creatures, the Togolosh.

545
00:21:50,860 --> 00:21:53,860
Predominantly seen in Zulu regions of the country,

546
00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:56,860
the Togolosh has found its way into the mainstream media

547
00:21:56,860 --> 00:21:58,860
in several famous South African murder trials,

548
00:21:58,860 --> 00:22:00,860
where defendants claimed they had killed someone

549
00:22:00,860 --> 00:22:02,860
believing they were the Togolosh,

550
00:22:02,860 --> 00:22:05,860
and one court was so convinced by the defendant's testimony

551
00:22:05,860 --> 00:22:07,860
about his Togolosh encounter,

552
00:22:07,860 --> 00:22:09,860
they decided not to call an expert witness

553
00:22:09,860 --> 00:22:11,860
to refute his claims.

554
00:22:11,860 --> 00:22:13,860
Reportedly, it's a flesh-and-blood creature

555
00:22:13,860 --> 00:22:17,860
that also has the ability to manifest itself in ghost form.

556
00:22:17,860 --> 00:22:19,860
So the first thing I had to do was to find out

557
00:22:19,860 --> 00:22:22,860
what exactly a Togolosh was from the local eyewitnesses,

558
00:22:22,860 --> 00:22:25,860
so I knew what I was looking for before setting up an investigation,

559
00:22:25,860 --> 00:22:27,860
using our equipment to determine once and for all

560
00:22:27,860 --> 00:22:30,860
if this South African nightcrawler really exists.

561
00:22:30,860 --> 00:22:32,860
I decided to meet with a local Sangoma,

562
00:22:32,860 --> 00:22:35,860
a Zulu spiritual guide who could perhaps give me some details

563
00:22:35,860 --> 00:22:38,860
into what the Togolosh is and what he likes to eat.

564
00:22:38,860 --> 00:22:41,860
It's a Togibonin god, Denicir.

565
00:22:41,860 --> 00:22:44,860
She had a patient that came with a child,

566
00:22:44,860 --> 00:22:46,860
and the child said,

567
00:22:46,860 --> 00:22:48,860
at night, there's this short man who comes,

568
00:22:48,860 --> 00:22:51,860
he's got a long beard and he asks for food,

569
00:22:51,860 --> 00:22:52,860
mass, especially.

570
00:22:52,860 --> 00:22:53,860
Mass?

571
00:22:53,860 --> 00:22:54,860
Mass.

572
00:22:54,860 --> 00:22:55,860
What is mass?

573
00:22:55,860 --> 00:22:57,860
The toroch, that's what it asks from the child,

574
00:22:57,860 --> 00:22:59,860
that can you get me mass.

575
00:22:59,860 --> 00:23:00,860
How do you catch a Togolosh?

576
00:23:00,860 --> 00:23:02,860
I don't know, but I'm not sure.

577
00:23:02,860 --> 00:23:04,860
And her knowledge, how can you catch some?

578
00:23:04,860 --> 00:23:06,860
Because it's like wind, sometimes.

579
00:23:06,860 --> 00:23:09,860
Sometimes it can just be wind.

580
00:23:09,860 --> 00:23:12,860
The Sangoma explained that not only are there many people

581
00:23:12,860 --> 00:23:14,860
in this region scared of the Togolosh

582
00:23:14,860 --> 00:23:16,860
and actively avoid encounters with it,

583
00:23:16,860 --> 00:23:19,860
they also refused to discuss its very existence,

584
00:23:19,860 --> 00:23:20,860
fearing retribution.

585
00:23:20,860 --> 00:23:23,860
It's kind of like talking about the Yankees in Boston.

586
00:23:23,860 --> 00:23:25,860
In either way, it didn't look like our investigation

587
00:23:25,860 --> 00:23:27,860
was going to be a walk in the park.

588
00:23:27,860 --> 00:23:29,860
We moved further into rural South Africa

589
00:23:29,860 --> 00:23:31,860
and closer to areas where the Togolosh

590
00:23:31,860 --> 00:23:33,860
had reportedly been seen in the past.

591
00:23:33,860 --> 00:23:36,860
We hired an interpreter to communicate with the locals.

592
00:23:36,860 --> 00:23:37,860
It's very nice to meet you.

593
00:23:37,860 --> 00:23:38,860
It's nice to meet you too.

594
00:23:38,860 --> 00:23:40,860
So you're going to be translating for us today.

595
00:23:40,860 --> 00:23:41,860
Yes.

596
00:23:41,860 --> 00:23:42,860
What do you speak besides English?

597
00:23:42,860 --> 00:23:43,860
English and Zulu.

598
00:23:43,860 --> 00:23:44,860
And Zulu.

599
00:23:44,860 --> 00:23:45,860
I speak no Zulu.

600
00:23:45,860 --> 00:23:46,860
Okay.

601
00:23:46,860 --> 00:23:48,860
So you are critical, you're critical.

602
00:23:48,860 --> 00:23:51,860
We headed to a local market to pick up the Togolosh bait

603
00:23:51,860 --> 00:23:54,860
that the Sangoma had recommended, sour milk,

604
00:23:54,860 --> 00:23:55,860
which surprisingly,

605
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:57,860
grocers in South Africa carry in bulk.

606
00:23:57,860 --> 00:24:00,860
Best before the 28th of February, it's coloneled milk.

607
00:24:00,860 --> 00:24:02,860
What happens is that it's already bad milk.

608
00:24:02,860 --> 00:24:04,860
Why is there a best before date on it?

609
00:24:04,860 --> 00:24:07,860
I didn't need help translating the expiration dates

610
00:24:07,860 --> 00:24:08,860
of the well-expired milk,

611
00:24:08,860 --> 00:24:11,860
but I didn't need help finding Togolosh eyewitnesses.

612
00:24:11,860 --> 00:24:12,860
Do you know about the Togolosh?

613
00:24:12,860 --> 00:24:13,860
Yeah, that's the Togolosh.

614
00:24:13,860 --> 00:24:14,860
They haven't seen one.

615
00:24:14,860 --> 00:24:15,860
They haven't seen one?

616
00:24:15,860 --> 00:24:16,860
No.

617
00:24:16,860 --> 00:24:17,860
Do they know anyone who's seen one?

618
00:24:17,860 --> 00:24:20,860
Yeah, I'm just with all the ones who have gone.

619
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:21,860
I don't know.

620
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:22,860
I'm not crazy.

621
00:24:22,860 --> 00:24:24,860
He says yes and then he says no.

622
00:24:24,860 --> 00:24:25,860
Yes and then no?

623
00:24:25,860 --> 00:24:26,860
Mm-hmm.

624
00:24:26,860 --> 00:24:28,860
Do you know anyone who's seen a Togolosh?

625
00:24:28,860 --> 00:24:32,860
You've got this wacky t-shirt with this, like, tron baby on it.

626
00:24:32,860 --> 00:24:33,860
Where did you get that?

627
00:24:33,860 --> 00:24:36,860
Where can I find the Togolosh?

628
00:24:36,860 --> 00:24:38,860
You guys, you know what you guys are?

629
00:24:38,860 --> 00:24:40,860
You guys are like the rat pack.

630
00:24:40,860 --> 00:24:42,860
Dean, Sammy, you're Frank,

631
00:24:42,860 --> 00:24:44,860
and I got some bad news for you, man.

632
00:24:44,860 --> 00:24:45,860
You enjoyed Bishop.

633
00:24:45,860 --> 00:24:47,860
It's a tough break, but you got nice eyes.

634
00:24:47,860 --> 00:24:49,860
Are you scared of Togolosh?

635
00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:52,860
Can you come here for a minute?

636
00:24:52,860 --> 00:24:56,860
We're interested in speaking to someone about the Togolosh.

637
00:24:59,860 --> 00:25:00,860
Nothing.

638
00:25:00,860 --> 00:25:01,860
What are Togolosh?

639
00:25:01,860 --> 00:25:02,860
Togolosh.

640
00:25:02,860 --> 00:25:03,860
Togolosh.

641
00:25:03,860 --> 00:25:04,860
No.

642
00:25:04,860 --> 00:25:05,860
No?

643
00:25:05,860 --> 00:25:06,860
No.

644
00:25:06,860 --> 00:25:07,860
I want to find a Togolosh.

645
00:25:07,860 --> 00:25:08,860
No?

646
00:25:08,860 --> 00:25:09,860
No.

647
00:25:09,860 --> 00:25:12,860
I was beginning to think that maybe the reason there were so few sightings

648
00:25:12,860 --> 00:25:16,860
was because everyone seemed to be doing everything they could to avoid the Togolosh,

649
00:25:16,860 --> 00:25:18,860
including discussing the creature with me.

650
00:25:18,860 --> 00:25:22,860
And either way, I wasn't going to let the tongue-tied locals or needle in a haystack logistics

651
00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:24,860
deter me from getting to the bottom of this.

652
00:25:24,860 --> 00:25:27,860
And thankfully, after a long day of searching backcountry roads,

653
00:25:27,860 --> 00:25:33,860
we finally got a lead on an eyewitness who was supposed to have had firsthand contact with the Togolosh.

654
00:25:33,860 --> 00:25:37,860
Only getting someone to tell us the whereabouts of this eyewitness came at a price.

655
00:25:37,860 --> 00:25:40,860
And what did this woman want for such valuable information?

656
00:25:40,860 --> 00:25:41,860
Money?

657
00:25:41,860 --> 00:25:42,860
Camera gear?

658
00:25:42,860 --> 00:25:45,860
One night alone with a strapping young American truth seeker?

659
00:25:45,860 --> 00:25:46,860
Sweet. She wants sweets.

660
00:25:46,860 --> 00:25:47,860
Sweets?

661
00:25:47,860 --> 00:25:48,860
No.

662
00:25:48,860 --> 00:25:49,860
She just wanted candy.

663
00:25:49,860 --> 00:25:51,860
This is a bar one toffee crisp.

664
00:25:51,860 --> 00:25:53,860
And this was going to be my dinner.

665
00:25:53,860 --> 00:25:54,860
Okay, that's fine.

666
00:25:54,860 --> 00:25:55,860
That's for you.

667
00:25:55,860 --> 00:25:56,860
That's for you.

668
00:25:56,860 --> 00:25:57,860
She said the eyewitness was close.

669
00:25:57,860 --> 00:25:58,860
Let's go.

670
00:25:58,860 --> 00:25:59,860
Let's go.

671
00:25:59,860 --> 00:26:00,860
So up the trail we went.

672
00:26:00,860 --> 00:26:02,860
And I learned two things on that hike.

673
00:26:02,860 --> 00:26:06,860
One, apparently in Zulu, close means way the hell out in the middle of nowhere.

674
00:26:06,860 --> 00:26:09,860
And two, that my translator, while not afraid of the Togolosh,

675
00:26:09,860 --> 00:26:12,860
was afraid of almost every other animal on the planet.

676
00:26:12,860 --> 00:26:13,860
Why do you hate dogs?

677
00:26:13,860 --> 00:26:15,860
Yeah, I hate those.

678
00:26:15,860 --> 00:26:16,860
I hate reptiles.

679
00:26:16,860 --> 00:26:17,860
Reptiles?

680
00:26:17,860 --> 00:26:18,860
You hate reptiles?

681
00:26:18,860 --> 00:26:19,860
You hate spiders?

682
00:26:19,860 --> 00:26:20,860
You hate dogs?

683
00:26:20,860 --> 00:26:21,860
You hate cats?

684
00:26:21,860 --> 00:26:22,860
I hate everything.

685
00:26:22,860 --> 00:26:23,860
You hate everything?

686
00:26:23,860 --> 00:26:24,860
Okay, you know what she just said?

687
00:26:24,860 --> 00:26:25,860
She just said,

688
00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:28,860
You take a photo of me, you're going to give me money.

689
00:26:28,860 --> 00:26:30,860
I just gave her a toffee crisp bar.

690
00:26:30,860 --> 00:26:32,860
I thought that was her payment.

691
00:26:32,860 --> 00:26:34,860
Three miles and two candy bars later,

692
00:26:34,860 --> 00:26:38,860
we reached the eyewitness who could give us the 411 on the Togolosh.

693
00:26:38,860 --> 00:26:42,860
So she's telling me that if we go back to where the crocodile place,

694
00:26:42,860 --> 00:26:45,860
that's the only place we can get to Togolosh.

695
00:26:45,860 --> 00:26:46,860
What did she say?

696
00:26:46,860 --> 00:26:48,860
What if he kills you?

697
00:26:48,860 --> 00:26:50,860
Does she think that he will kill me?

698
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:51,860
Yes.

699
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:52,860
If I go to his house?

700
00:26:52,860 --> 00:26:53,860
Yes.

701
00:26:53,860 --> 00:26:54,860
Why would he kill me for going to his house?

702
00:26:54,860 --> 00:26:55,860
I don't know, I don't know.

703
00:26:55,860 --> 00:26:56,860
I don't know.

704
00:26:56,860 --> 00:26:57,860
I don't know.

705
00:26:57,860 --> 00:26:58,860
I don't know.

706
00:26:58,860 --> 00:26:59,860
I don't know.

707
00:26:59,860 --> 00:27:00,860
You're not going to be scared.

708
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:01,860
You're not going to be scared.

709
00:27:01,860 --> 00:27:02,860
You're scared.

710
00:27:02,860 --> 00:27:05,860
Apparently, the reason she was so scared was that the only person she knew

711
00:27:05,860 --> 00:27:09,860
who had physical contact with the Togolosh was a local named Crocodile,

712
00:27:09,860 --> 00:27:12,860
who dabbles in the black arts and doesn't like foreigners.

713
00:27:12,860 --> 00:27:13,860
Just what I need.

714
00:27:13,860 --> 00:27:17,860
A guy who could actually shrink my head for making a shrunken head joke.

715
00:27:17,860 --> 00:27:19,860
And we met a few eyewitnesses who had heard of you,

716
00:27:19,860 --> 00:27:22,860
and some of them were kind of scared of you.

717
00:27:22,860 --> 00:27:24,860
They were very scared of you.

718
00:27:24,860 --> 00:27:25,860
Right, you are right.

719
00:27:25,860 --> 00:27:26,860
I'm happy about that.

720
00:27:26,860 --> 00:27:28,860
Why, why are they scared of you?

721
00:27:28,860 --> 00:27:32,860
Okay, I can take this to any place in the world.

722
00:27:32,860 --> 00:27:35,860
I'll put it around your house.

723
00:27:35,860 --> 00:27:37,860
You practice bad magic.

724
00:27:37,860 --> 00:27:38,860
You lose your giant.

725
00:27:38,860 --> 00:27:39,860
Just like that.

726
00:27:39,860 --> 00:27:40,860
With this.

727
00:27:40,860 --> 00:27:42,860
So are you saying that this can kill him?

728
00:27:42,860 --> 00:27:43,860
Yeah.

729
00:27:43,860 --> 00:27:44,860
Can.

730
00:27:44,860 --> 00:27:47,860
Crocodile was like one of those bad guys from Scooby-Doo,

731
00:27:47,860 --> 00:27:50,860
complete with a sinister snicker.

732
00:27:50,860 --> 00:27:54,860
And just as I was about to head back to the mystery machine for some Scooby snacks,

733
00:27:54,860 --> 00:27:57,860
the doctor pulled something out of his private stock,

734
00:27:57,860 --> 00:28:01,860
the most compelling evidence of the Togolosh we'd seen so far.

735
00:28:01,860 --> 00:28:02,860
Togolosh?

736
00:28:02,860 --> 00:28:03,860
Wow.

737
00:28:04,860 --> 00:28:08,860
This is the place where Togolosh has been seen before.

738
00:28:08,860 --> 00:28:10,860
I'm picking up something now.

739
00:28:10,860 --> 00:28:12,860
I just saw someone in camera three.

740
00:28:12,860 --> 00:28:13,860
You see that?

741
00:28:13,860 --> 00:28:14,860
Yeah, that's freaky.

742
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:15,860
Josh.

743
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:17,860
Hey, are you anywhere near the entrance to the barn?

744
00:28:17,860 --> 00:28:18,860
I'm sure.

745
00:28:22,860 --> 00:28:26,860
I was about ready to throw in the towel on our South African Togolosh interview

746
00:28:26,860 --> 00:28:28,860
with a guy the locals called Crocodile.

747
00:28:28,860 --> 00:28:30,860
When he pulled out a piece of evidence,

748
00:28:30,860 --> 00:28:32,860
I hadn't expected to find in his shed, oh creep.

749
00:28:32,860 --> 00:28:33,860
Togolosh.

750
00:28:33,860 --> 00:28:35,860
Can I see the container?

751
00:28:35,860 --> 00:28:36,860
Yes.

752
00:28:36,860 --> 00:28:39,860
So this is the fat of Togolosh.

753
00:28:39,860 --> 00:28:45,860
What I had in my hands was a vial of what Crocodile claimed was congealed Togolosh fat.

754
00:28:45,860 --> 00:28:47,860
I couldn't wait to declare this at customs.

755
00:28:47,860 --> 00:28:49,860
But even more important than this piece of evidence,

756
00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:53,860
he gave me the name of the location that the Togolosh supposedly calls home,

757
00:28:53,860 --> 00:28:55,860
the nearby kingdom of Lesotho.

758
00:28:55,860 --> 00:28:58,860
So the next morning, the team and I once again hit the road.

759
00:28:58,860 --> 00:29:02,860
All right, so we're in Underberg, which is just on the edge of Drakensburg here.

760
00:29:02,860 --> 00:29:04,860
There's no way that our van's going to make it over this pass.

761
00:29:04,860 --> 00:29:06,860
They won't let us go without a four-wheel drive vehicle.

762
00:29:06,860 --> 00:29:08,860
So I got this guy lined up.

763
00:29:08,860 --> 00:29:09,860
He'll take us over.

764
00:29:09,860 --> 00:29:12,860
We just need to load any equipment, camera bags, anything we need for the day into the 4x4.

765
00:29:12,860 --> 00:29:14,860
So Wilson, you're going to take us up over the Sandy Pass.

766
00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:15,860
Yes.

767
00:29:15,860 --> 00:29:17,860
And what's the road like?

768
00:29:17,860 --> 00:29:18,860
Bad road.

769
00:29:18,860 --> 00:29:19,860
It's a bad road?

770
00:29:19,860 --> 00:29:20,860
Yeah.

771
00:29:20,860 --> 00:29:21,860
But it's okay? We'll make it?

772
00:29:21,860 --> 00:29:22,860
Yes.

773
00:29:22,860 --> 00:29:23,860
You sure?

774
00:29:23,860 --> 00:29:24,860
Sure.

775
00:29:24,860 --> 00:29:25,860
Have you done it before?

776
00:29:25,860 --> 00:29:26,860
Yes.

777
00:29:26,860 --> 00:29:27,860
How many times?

778
00:29:27,860 --> 00:29:29,860
A bit more than four times, but I haven't done it before.

779
00:29:29,860 --> 00:29:30,860
I'm just going to dive in.

780
00:29:30,860 --> 00:29:37,860
I can't go on the next couple of rounds, so I'm going to dive up a notoriously deadly road over the north in Lesotho mountains.

781
00:29:37,860 --> 00:29:39,860
But it was an exciting ride.

782
00:29:39,860 --> 00:29:42,860
He didn't come up with any information when I asked about the Tocalos,

783
00:29:42,860 --> 00:29:45,860
but at the same time, he didn't freak out, crash the truck and kill us all.

784
00:29:45,860 --> 00:29:47,860
So, you know, I just count my blessings.

785
00:29:47,860 --> 00:29:53,860
So here we are at the border control between South Africa and Lesotho.

786
00:29:53,860 --> 00:29:56,860
We have to get our passports stamped here to exit South Africa.

787
00:29:56,860 --> 00:29:57,860
It's way up into this pass.

788
00:29:57,860 --> 00:29:58,860
You can see the cloud line up there.

789
00:29:58,860 --> 00:29:59,860
We're going up into that.

790
00:29:59,860 --> 00:30:02,860
And then we'll be in the kingdom of Lesotho.

791
00:30:02,860 --> 00:30:04,860
Going over the high mountain ridge,

792
00:30:04,860 --> 00:30:06,860
we got to enjoy the spectacular views

793
00:30:06,860 --> 00:30:09,860
and enjoy a pint at the world-famous Sani Top Chalet.

794
00:30:09,860 --> 00:30:12,860
Here we are in the highest pub in Africa.

795
00:30:12,860 --> 00:30:15,860
This is a very famous bar where many people have come,

796
00:30:15,860 --> 00:30:18,860
including, of course, Darth Vader.

797
00:30:18,860 --> 00:30:20,860
I guess this used to be a favorite water hole, it is.

798
00:30:20,860 --> 00:30:23,860
And before you could make a bad Jedi mind trick joke,

799
00:30:23,860 --> 00:30:25,860
we were back on the road to Lesotho,

800
00:30:25,860 --> 00:30:28,860
where the Tokalosh is supposed home sweet home.

801
00:30:28,860 --> 00:30:30,860
Hello. Are you a Tokalosh?

802
00:30:30,860 --> 00:30:32,860
Ah, it's a Tokalosh.

803
00:30:32,860 --> 00:30:34,860
Most often the Tokalosh is seen by children.

804
00:30:34,860 --> 00:30:36,860
And if this guy is what they're seeing,

805
00:30:36,860 --> 00:30:39,860
parents of South Africa lock up your kids.

806
00:30:39,860 --> 00:30:42,860
Getting as far away from the most weirdo guy as we could,

807
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:45,860
we were happy to finally arrive in the kingdom of Lesotho,

808
00:30:45,860 --> 00:30:46,860
our final destination.

809
00:30:46,860 --> 00:30:48,860
It was truly a surreal place

810
00:30:48,860 --> 00:30:50,860
where it seemed like anything could happen.

811
00:30:50,860 --> 00:30:52,860
When we started our investigation in South Africa,

812
00:30:52,860 --> 00:30:55,860
the Tokalosh seemed like something in a galaxy far, far away.

813
00:30:55,860 --> 00:30:57,860
But up here in the drinking haunts of Darth Vader,

814
00:30:57,860 --> 00:30:59,860
this creature that was harder to find than J.D. Salinger

815
00:30:59,860 --> 00:31:02,860
finally seemed like it might be within my grasp.

816
00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:03,860
Nice to meet you. I'm Josh.

817
00:31:03,860 --> 00:31:05,860
It's all about who you know,

818
00:31:05,860 --> 00:31:07,860
and luckily that Scooby-Doo bad guy from before

819
00:31:07,860 --> 00:31:09,860
had hooked us up with a local translator

820
00:31:09,860 --> 00:31:11,860
to help us get to the bottom of the Tokalosh sighting.

821
00:31:11,860 --> 00:31:13,860
People of Lesotho!

822
00:31:13,860 --> 00:31:15,860
What is it? What is it?

823
00:31:15,860 --> 00:31:17,860
I am running for president.

824
00:31:18,860 --> 00:31:21,860
Have any of them ever seen a Tokaloshi?

825
00:31:26,860 --> 00:31:29,860
And just like that, we had finally found a Tokalosh witness

826
00:31:29,860 --> 00:31:31,860
willing to help us find the creature.

827
00:31:42,860 --> 00:31:43,860
Tokalosh was on your bed? Yes.

828
00:31:43,860 --> 00:31:45,860
And was he very afraid? Yes.

829
00:31:45,860 --> 00:31:47,860
What did the Tokalosh look like?

830
00:31:47,860 --> 00:31:49,860
Get to any.

831
00:31:49,860 --> 00:31:51,860
He was very strong.

832
00:31:51,860 --> 00:31:53,860
Very dangerous and very strong.

833
00:31:53,860 --> 00:31:55,860
And then, you're harmed, man.

834
00:31:55,860 --> 00:31:57,860
Choked you.

835
00:31:57,860 --> 00:31:59,860
So, this area over here was where he saw the Tokalosh.

836
00:31:59,860 --> 00:32:01,860
One of the guys I spoke with said that I tried to choke him in the night,

837
00:32:01,860 --> 00:32:03,860
and some of the workers that work with the sheep

838
00:32:03,860 --> 00:32:05,860
used to sleep here and they used to keep sheep in here

839
00:32:05,860 --> 00:32:07,860
and they'd talk to the other guys.

840
00:32:07,860 --> 00:32:09,860
And then, they'd say,

841
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:11,860
I'm not sure if I'm going to get to the Tokalosh.

842
00:32:11,860 --> 00:32:13,860
I'm not sure.

843
00:32:13,860 --> 00:32:15,860
They used to sleep here and they used to keep sheep in here

844
00:32:15,860 --> 00:32:17,860
and they totally abandoned use of these structures

845
00:32:17,860 --> 00:32:19,860
because they say that the Tokalosh

846
00:32:19,860 --> 00:32:21,860
has come and tried to attack them.

847
00:32:21,860 --> 00:32:23,860
But they won't even go near it, so they're obviously certain

848
00:32:23,860 --> 00:32:25,860
that after dark something happens here.

849
00:32:25,860 --> 00:32:27,860
All right, let's do it.

850
00:32:31,860 --> 00:32:33,860
This is a place where Tokalosh has been seen before.

851
00:32:33,860 --> 00:32:35,860
My family used to live here.

852
00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:37,860
They saw a Tokaloshi was stealing food.

853
00:32:37,860 --> 00:32:39,860
And the family has since abandoned this area.

854
00:32:39,860 --> 00:32:41,860
So we set out the bait the Tokalosh is specifically reported to favor,

855
00:32:41,860 --> 00:32:43,860
sour milk,

856
00:32:43,860 --> 00:32:45,860
and then set up our infrared cameras

857
00:32:45,860 --> 00:32:47,860
and bullared thermal imaging system

858
00:32:47,860 --> 00:32:49,860
to see who or what would show up after dark.

859
00:32:49,860 --> 00:32:51,860
If I'm going to catch Tokalosh,

860
00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:53,860
this is the way to do it.

861
00:32:53,860 --> 00:32:55,860
All right, are you guys all set up?

862
00:32:55,860 --> 00:32:57,860
Yep, we're all go.

863
00:32:57,860 --> 00:32:59,860
Everything's recording.

864
00:32:59,860 --> 00:33:01,860
Okay, I'm going to take the laser thermometer into the barn

865
00:33:01,860 --> 00:33:03,860
and see if I can pick up a heat signature on something.

866
00:33:03,860 --> 00:33:05,860
Okay.

867
00:33:05,860 --> 00:33:07,860
Let me know if anything goes in front of the cameras.

868
00:33:09,860 --> 00:33:11,860
So,

869
00:33:11,860 --> 00:33:13,860
this is a

870
00:33:13,860 --> 00:33:15,860
infrared non-contact thermometer.

871
00:33:15,860 --> 00:33:17,860
Essentially, it measures

872
00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:19,860
heat

873
00:33:19,860 --> 00:33:21,860
coming off of an object.

874
00:33:21,860 --> 00:33:23,860
I know that the

875
00:33:23,860 --> 00:33:25,860
general surroundings here are fairly cool.

876
00:33:25,860 --> 00:33:27,860
And if this thermometer,

877
00:33:27,860 --> 00:33:29,860
if the laser on this bounces off

878
00:33:29,860 --> 00:33:31,860
anything that gives off heat,

879
00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:33,860
I'll detect it and it can show me

880
00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:35,860
any organic that might be here.

881
00:33:39,860 --> 00:33:41,860
The temperature

882
00:33:41,860 --> 00:33:43,860
reading is fairly consistent.

883
00:33:43,860 --> 00:33:45,860
If we see any radical fluctuations,

884
00:33:45,860 --> 00:33:47,860
it's a good indication that we're not alone in here.

885
00:33:53,860 --> 00:33:55,860
This whole area feels really creepy.

886
00:33:57,860 --> 00:33:59,860
You know, I can't have a very

887
00:33:59,860 --> 00:34:01,860
terrifying experience here

888
00:34:01,860 --> 00:34:03,860
with something that I can't explain.

889
00:34:03,860 --> 00:34:05,860
So, it's definitely

890
00:34:05,860 --> 00:34:07,860
a very unsettling place to be.

891
00:34:07,860 --> 00:34:09,860
Certain places have

892
00:34:09,860 --> 00:34:11,860
different energies

893
00:34:11,860 --> 00:34:13,860
in this place. Just feels very

894
00:34:13,860 --> 00:34:15,860
just feels very creepy.

895
00:34:37,860 --> 00:34:39,860
Well, the barn is creepy, but no heat

896
00:34:39,860 --> 00:34:41,860
signatures of anything. So, you guys stay on the cameras.

897
00:34:41,860 --> 00:34:43,860
I'm going to take the laser thermometer, sweep

898
00:34:43,860 --> 00:34:45,860
the perimeter, see if I can pick up anything around the barn.

899
00:34:45,860 --> 00:34:47,860
Okay, clear your walk-in.

900
00:34:47,860 --> 00:34:49,860
Yeah, we'll do. Got it.

901
00:34:57,860 --> 00:34:59,860
Not picking up anything on that thermometer, but

902
00:34:59,860 --> 00:35:01,860
I think I'm hearing something moving around

903
00:35:01,860 --> 00:35:03,860
the perimeter.

904
00:35:03,860 --> 00:35:05,860
I just saw someone

905
00:35:05,860 --> 00:35:07,860
in camera 3. Do you see that?

906
00:35:07,860 --> 00:35:09,860
I'll go back.

907
00:35:09,860 --> 00:35:11,860
You see that?

908
00:35:11,860 --> 00:35:13,860
Yeah.

909
00:35:13,860 --> 00:35:15,860
It's like a shadow or something.

910
00:35:15,860 --> 00:35:17,860
Oh, man, it's freaky.

911
00:35:21,860 --> 00:35:23,860
There it is again.

912
00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:25,860
Look at that.

913
00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:27,860
I have a temperature increase

914
00:35:27,860 --> 00:35:29,860
in this area, so I think I might be

915
00:35:29,860 --> 00:35:31,860
imaging something inside the trees here.

916
00:35:33,860 --> 00:35:35,860
I'm

917
00:35:35,860 --> 00:35:37,860
picking up something on the thermometer now.

918
00:35:37,860 --> 00:35:39,860
It's getting warmer and warmer.

919
00:35:39,860 --> 00:35:41,860
It's at 65, 66, 73,

920
00:35:41,860 --> 00:35:43,860
81.

921
00:35:43,860 --> 00:35:45,860
It's really close.

922
00:35:45,860 --> 00:35:47,860
Whoa. What was that?

923
00:35:47,860 --> 00:35:49,860
That bottle just moved.

924
00:35:49,860 --> 00:35:51,860
Play that back. That bottle

925
00:35:51,860 --> 00:35:53,860
just moved. No joke.

926
00:35:59,860 --> 00:36:01,860
There's a guy now.

927
00:36:01,860 --> 00:36:03,860
Look at that.

928
00:36:03,860 --> 00:36:05,860
What is that?

929
00:36:05,860 --> 00:36:07,860
I have a temperature increase in this area,

930
00:36:07,860 --> 00:36:09,860
so I think I might be imaging something

931
00:36:09,860 --> 00:36:11,860
inside the trees here.

932
00:36:15,860 --> 00:36:17,860
I'm picking up something on the thermometer now.

933
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:19,860
It's getting warmer and warmer. It's at 65,

934
00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:21,860
66, 73, 81.

935
00:36:21,860 --> 00:36:23,860
It's really close.

936
00:36:23,860 --> 00:36:25,860
Josh, are you anywhere near the entrance

937
00:36:25,860 --> 00:36:27,860
of the bar? No, I'm nowhere near.

938
00:36:27,860 --> 00:36:29,860
I'm way over where the tree line. She should definitely

939
00:36:29,860 --> 00:36:31,860
be here. We're getting some here on this camera.

940
00:36:31,860 --> 00:36:33,860
We'll do all of you back soon.

941
00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:35,860
I'm going to track this reading.

942
00:36:41,860 --> 00:36:43,860
I don't know

943
00:36:43,860 --> 00:36:45,860
where it went. I lost it in the trees.

944
00:36:45,860 --> 00:36:47,860
I'm coming back to base camp. What was it?

945
00:36:47,860 --> 00:36:49,860
I couldn't see anything out there. You guys

946
00:36:49,860 --> 00:36:51,860
not something in the monitors? Yeah, yeah.

947
00:36:51,860 --> 00:36:53,860
You should come take a look at it for sure. Come on over.

948
00:36:53,860 --> 00:36:55,860
That's really weird.

949
00:36:55,860 --> 00:36:57,860
I wish the camera was just tilted a little bit

950
00:36:57,860 --> 00:36:59,860
so we could give a better view of it.

951
00:36:59,860 --> 00:37:01,860
Maybe an animal walked by? I don't know.

952
00:37:01,860 --> 00:37:03,860
I mean, it seems like a shadow definitely gets cast

953
00:37:03,860 --> 00:37:05,860
just to the left of camera.

954
00:37:05,860 --> 00:37:07,860
Nothing conclusive, but...

955
00:37:07,860 --> 00:37:09,860
But creepy.

956
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:11,860
I don't know.

957
00:37:17,860 --> 00:37:19,860
Here's the warning.

958
00:37:25,860 --> 00:37:27,860
My legs are falling asleep.

959
00:37:35,860 --> 00:37:37,860
Did you guys just see that?

960
00:37:37,860 --> 00:37:39,860
That bottle just moved.

961
00:37:39,860 --> 00:37:41,860
Play that back.

962
00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:43,860
That bottle just moved.

963
00:37:43,860 --> 00:37:45,860
No joke.

964
00:37:47,860 --> 00:37:49,860
Right there. You see it?

965
00:37:49,860 --> 00:37:51,860
Yeah. It moves.

966
00:37:51,860 --> 00:37:53,860
I can't.

967
00:37:53,860 --> 00:37:55,860
It moves significantly.

968
00:37:55,860 --> 00:37:57,860
For sure. That's weird.

969
00:37:57,860 --> 00:37:59,860
That's really weird. How is that a tokelosh?

970
00:37:59,860 --> 00:38:01,860
I don't know. One of the people we talked to

971
00:38:01,860 --> 00:38:03,860
we said, how do you catch a tokelosh?

972
00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:05,860
They said, how do you catch the wind?

973
00:38:05,860 --> 00:38:07,860
I think a lot of people believe the tokelosh

974
00:38:07,860 --> 00:38:09,860
is something that can't necessarily be seen.

975
00:38:09,860 --> 00:38:11,860
Some people describe it as only being able to be seen by children.

976
00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:13,860
We know it's attracted to milk

977
00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:15,860
and the milk is moving, so...

978
00:38:15,860 --> 00:38:17,860
What was that? Play that back.

979
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:19,860
Let's rewind that back. Let's check that out.

980
00:38:19,860 --> 00:38:21,860
That's the same bottle. Yeah.

981
00:38:21,860 --> 00:38:23,860
It's the same camera.

982
00:38:23,860 --> 00:38:25,860
That's so weird.

983
00:38:25,860 --> 00:38:27,860
That's really weird.

984
00:38:27,860 --> 00:38:29,860
It's like this strange glow that just appears

985
00:38:29,860 --> 00:38:31,860
right around the milk container.

986
00:38:31,860 --> 00:38:33,860
It's right on the milk bottle.

987
00:38:33,860 --> 00:38:35,860
The fact that the bottle physically moves

988
00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:37,860
and we can actually visually see a glow around it

989
00:38:37,860 --> 00:38:39,860
is completely unexplainable to me.

990
00:38:39,860 --> 00:38:41,860
So I want to go back in there, take the laser thermometer,

991
00:38:41,860 --> 00:38:43,860
see if I can get any sort of readings on or around the bottle.

992
00:38:43,860 --> 00:38:45,860
Okay.

993
00:38:55,860 --> 00:38:57,860
No abnormal readings here.

994
00:38:57,860 --> 00:38:59,860
Camera 4 looks all right.

995
00:38:59,860 --> 00:39:01,860
Nothing obstructing the lens,

996
00:39:01,860 --> 00:39:03,860
which might account for the glow we saw.

997
00:39:09,860 --> 00:39:11,860
Okay, so...

998
00:39:11,860 --> 00:39:13,860
There's nothing unusual in terms of heat signatures

999
00:39:13,860 --> 00:39:15,860
around the bottle, but looking at the bottle,

1000
00:39:15,860 --> 00:39:17,860
it's definitely tilted over.

1001
00:39:17,860 --> 00:39:19,860
But there's no unusual readings around it at all.

1002
00:39:21,860 --> 00:39:23,860
I don't know what to make of it. I really don't.

1003
00:39:23,860 --> 00:39:25,860
I mean, I'm seeing it happen.

1004
00:39:25,860 --> 00:39:27,860
I'm seeing a cloud of light around it

1005
00:39:27,860 --> 00:39:29,860
that I have no explanation for.

1006
00:39:29,860 --> 00:39:31,860
You got me, I don't know.

1007
00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:33,860
We should certainly take the tokylosphat back to be analyzed.

1008
00:39:33,860 --> 00:39:35,860
I don't know if you could still get that through customs.

1009
00:39:35,860 --> 00:39:37,860
And we can try to have that analyzed

1010
00:39:37,860 --> 00:39:39,860
because certainly that looks like fat to me from something.

1011
00:39:39,860 --> 00:39:41,860
And as to this video stuff,

1012
00:39:41,860 --> 00:39:43,860
I just don't know what to make of it.

1013
00:39:43,860 --> 00:39:45,860
I mean, it's certainly weird.

1014
00:39:45,860 --> 00:39:47,860
So we took our video surveillance tapes

1015
00:39:47,860 --> 00:39:49,860
and tokylosphat back to the States for further analysis.

1016
00:39:49,860 --> 00:39:51,860
Our first stop was UC Davis

1017
00:39:51,860 --> 00:39:53,860
to meet with an expert who could tell us

1018
00:39:53,860 --> 00:39:55,860
if our tokylosphat was really gremlin DNA or not.

1019
00:39:59,860 --> 00:40:01,860
What we're looking at here is...

1020
00:40:01,860 --> 00:40:03,860
That's our sample.

1021
00:40:03,860 --> 00:40:05,860
This is our sample.

1022
00:40:05,860 --> 00:40:07,860
And this is the sequence that we were able to obtain for it.

1023
00:40:07,860 --> 00:40:09,860
What we have here is

1024
00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:11,860
gallus gallus isilis.

1025
00:40:11,860 --> 00:40:13,860
This is saying 100%.

1026
00:40:13,860 --> 00:40:15,860
So it's 100% accurate.

1027
00:40:15,860 --> 00:40:17,860
And so the results are...

1028
00:40:17,860 --> 00:40:19,860
Chicken.

1029
00:40:19,860 --> 00:40:21,860
Chicken fat.

1030
00:40:21,860 --> 00:40:23,860
100%.

1031
00:40:23,860 --> 00:40:25,860
100%.

1032
00:40:25,860 --> 00:40:27,860
Unfortunately, our only piece of physical evidence

1033
00:40:27,860 --> 00:40:29,860
turned out to be a piece of chicken.

1034
00:40:29,860 --> 00:40:31,860
And our video surveillance, while interesting,

1035
00:40:31,860 --> 00:40:33,860
was inconclusive.

1036
00:40:33,860 --> 00:40:35,860
But no thoughts as to what that could possibly be?

1037
00:40:35,860 --> 00:40:37,860
I have no idea.

1038
00:40:37,860 --> 00:40:39,860
We've got two mysteries on our hands.

1039
00:40:39,860 --> 00:40:41,860
So while I can say that there are some creepy goings on

1040
00:40:41,860 --> 00:40:43,860
in that shack in Lesotho,

1041
00:40:43,860 --> 00:40:45,860
as for the tokylos himself,

1042
00:40:45,860 --> 00:40:47,860
I'd say there's more myth and superstition there than truth.

1043
00:40:47,860 --> 00:40:49,860
We then headed back to Los Angeles

1044
00:40:49,860 --> 00:40:51,860
to meet with a fisheries biologist

1045
00:40:51,860 --> 00:40:53,860
to go over our mom Lambo footage

1046
00:40:53,860 --> 00:40:55,860
and see if he had any ideas as to what could be out

1047
00:40:55,860 --> 00:40:57,860
and what could be inside Lava River terrorizing locals.

1048
00:40:57,860 --> 00:40:59,860
The camera gets sent down.

1049
00:40:59,860 --> 00:41:01,860
It comes back up.

1050
00:41:01,860 --> 00:41:03,860
And then you can see the moonlight there on the edge

1051
00:41:03,860 --> 00:41:05,860
and it's here. It drifts back out

1052
00:41:05,860 --> 00:41:07,860
towards the center of the river, where it's darker.

1053
00:41:07,860 --> 00:41:09,860
Yeah.

1054
00:41:09,860 --> 00:41:11,860
I think I saw what you were talking about.

1055
00:41:11,860 --> 00:41:13,860
This right here.

1056
00:41:13,860 --> 00:41:15,860
Yeah, underneath the surface of the water there.

1057
00:41:15,860 --> 00:41:17,860
Right.

1058
00:41:17,860 --> 00:41:19,860
That, to me, looks like the skin of a crocodile.

1059
00:41:19,860 --> 00:41:21,860
That doesn't look like the skin of a crocodile.

1060
00:41:21,860 --> 00:41:23,860
Yeah.

1061
00:41:23,860 --> 00:41:25,320
close to the surface of the water.

1062
00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:27,620
Yeah, it looks like crocodile skin.

1063
00:41:27,620 --> 00:41:29,700
I would imagine a creature swimming near it

1064
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:32,900
saw it could be food, so they nudge it and see what it is.

1065
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:34,780
While Dr. Hovey's crocodile theory

1066
00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:37,180
could explain what we saw in our surveillance cameras

1067
00:41:37,180 --> 00:41:39,060
that night, it doesn't necessarily

1068
00:41:39,060 --> 00:41:41,820
explain the creature that Lindsay saw with her own eyes,

1069
00:41:41,820 --> 00:41:43,500
nor the scores of eyewitness accounts

1070
00:41:43,500 --> 00:41:45,820
from the villagers who swear that what they saw

1071
00:41:45,820 --> 00:41:47,780
had a head shaped like a horse's.

1072
00:41:47,780 --> 00:41:49,620
Plus, I wonder if it's more than chance

1073
00:41:49,620 --> 00:41:51,180
that our two encounters just happened

1074
00:41:51,180 --> 00:41:53,100
to coincide with violent storms.

1075
00:41:53,100 --> 00:41:55,260
The exact conditions specified by locals

1076
00:41:55,260 --> 00:41:57,460
to accompany the presence of the Malambo.

1077
00:41:57,460 --> 00:41:59,100
So while I can't say that I'm convinced

1078
00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:01,660
that what is responsible for these stories in South Africa
