00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
On this episode of Destination Truth,

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Josh investigates reports of an ancient haunted cave deep in the forest of Indonesia.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Is there anybody in this cave? Can you please give us a sign of your presence?

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:14,000
What's that?

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Holy God! Oh my God!

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Next, the crew searches for a living dinosaur running rampant in the outback of Australia.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Do you know what this is?

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Will Josh find this prehistoric predator?

9
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Or is this just a story from the Stone Age?

10
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
What the hell is that?

11
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
What was that?

12
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,000
I don't know.

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,000
That was huge.

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,000
I'm Josh Gates.

15
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
In my travels, I've seen some unexplainable things and I've done some things I can't quite explain.

16
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Now, I've pulled together a team armed with the latest technology in the search for answers to the world's strangest mysteries.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
I'm not sure what's out there waiting for me, but I know what I'm looking for. The truth.

18
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Batman has it all.

19
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
A great car, a cool costume, and of course, the Batcave.

20
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
The ultimate bachelor pad.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000
But there's a cave in a remote Indonesian village that not even Bruce Wayne would find homey.

22
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
After all, locals claim that terrifying evil spirits attack anyone who goes there.

23
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Recently, villagers claim they were visited by frightening spirits while exploring the cave.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Since then, nearly every person to go near it reports some sort of ghostly encounter.

25
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I decided this case was too good to pass up, so my team and I packed up our gear and headed out to the jungles of Java.

26
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,000
We flew 18 hours and finally arrived in Jakarta, Indonesia.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
After the long flight and miserable airplane food, I was ready for a nice hot meal.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Unfortunately, the meat surprise at the airport food court was not what I had in mind.

29
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
The haunted cave is located nearly 500 miles southwest of Jakarta near the city of Bantul.

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Getting there is a real treat.

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
We'd first have to take a 12-hour train ride to the city of Yoka, Karta,

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000
and from there, we'd transfer to Jeeps and travel several more hours deeper into the jungle before finally arriving at the cave.

33
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,000
But first things first, we needed to get to the train station.

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,000
I need seven rick shots.

35
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,000
Can somebody wake this guy up please?

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Look at the workforce.

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Signed a clock in, guys.

38
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
Riding in style.

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,000
You ready? Here we go.

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,000
Slight traffic jam.

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
It's that midday rick shot traffic. I'm gonna kill you.

42
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Are you tired?

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Okay, take a seat. Take a seat.

44
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Okay, parking it right here.

45
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Jump it off. You owe me ten dollars.

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
No money? Somebody arrest this man.

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
We boarded the train and settled in for our very long ride on what was most certainly not the Orient Express.

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
A lot of people. A lot of people.

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
Twelve hours, kids. Get comfortable.

50
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000
I'm gonna go get my crew.

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000
Lucky for me, my crew is made up of degenerate gamblers.

52
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
We arrived in Yogyakarta thinking it couldn't get any worse than our crappy train.

53
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Until we got to our even crappier jeep.

54
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Very inicky clutch.

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
That's first, I guess.

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That's f**king second gear.

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
We'll be the destiny.

58
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
How long do we have to drive in this bad boy?

59
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Six, seven hours.

60
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
And then things really started to heat up.

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Well, I just burned through something.

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
A car's on fire. I can't find second gear.

63
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
You're on good, buddy. Keep it up. Keep it up.

64
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
We had a fire in here.

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Really?

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Yeah, like evacuation slide fire.

67
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
They burned a wire down here. I don't know what it's connected to. Probably the brakes.

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Hey, watch your head. Watch your head.

69
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Hang on. We finally arrived just a few miles outside of Bantuul where we took a shortcut through the local market to get to our eyewitnesses.

70
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
That appears to be, and I'm not an expert, a handful of maggots.

71
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Be a yee-ah, ma'am.

72
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
She wants to eat them.

73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Man, this market is gross.

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
This is the grossest market of all time. Look at all the birds.

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Can you put a few more birds in here?

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
What is this? This is like... You have like harry potter animals in here. These aren't even real animals.

77
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
I'll answer that.

78
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Hello.

79
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Can I help you?

80
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Oh, he's not here right now.

81
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Thank you for your time.

82
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Your mom called.

83
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Moving on, we pushed into the nearby villages where residents claimed to have had frightening experiences inside the rumored haunted cave.

84
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:37,000
This man says he was on a hike with a friend when he was terrorized by a ghost who they called Tuyu.

85
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
What does this ghost look like? What does this Tuyu look like?

86
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
A man or a woman?

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Cannot say. It's like spirit.

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Spirit?

89
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000
Yeah.

90
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
No clothes?

91
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000
No clothes.

92
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Very white skin?

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Yep.

94
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,000
This man described a similar ghost that he saw in the cave just a few days ago.

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Have the ghost in the cave ever hurt anybody?

96
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
Surupam.

97
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
I don't know.

98
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
I don't know.

99
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
I don't know.

100
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,000
I don't know.

101
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
There are many ghosts in the cave.

102
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I explained that although evil possession was certainly not high on my must-do list here in Indonesia, I did want to see these ghosts.

103
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:20,000
He told me about a man, one village over, who claims he has a surefire way for me to see the spirits with my own eyes.

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
What is the ritual that you have to perform to see these ghosts?

105
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
I have to perform the ritual to see the spirits.

106
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And so where do I get this holy water from?

107
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:35,000
It comes from another cave. It's very far away and it's really hard to get to.

108
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:44,000
If you bring the holy water from another cave and take the holy water from this cave and you just put them together, it's going to be powerful so you can see the ghosts.

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Okay, so this was going to be more complicated than I originally thought.

110
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,000
And if I was going to chase down every lead, I'd have to find this holy water.

111
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
The man said it was going to be tough to get to, which is really saying something considering what it took for me to even get here.

112
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Nevertheless, I was going to do whatever it took to do this investigation right.

113
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Come on, baby.

114
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
Hang on, son of a bitch.

115
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
First of all, that was the worst road in the world.

116
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
We arrived at the village where this sacred holy water could be found.

117
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
I'm here to see your cave.

118
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Our local guide pointed us in the right direction.

119
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
This way? The bike father? That doesn't even make sense.

120
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,000
He said we'd have to climb down a hill to get there.

121
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:40,000
See, this is not a hill. This is what we in English would call a sheer cliff.

122
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
The cave at the bottom of this cliff? And how do I get down there? I use this?

123
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Use the stairs?

124
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Use the stairs? These look perfectly safe. It's a thousand foot cliff.

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Well, luckily I'm not a heavy guy. I'm sure these sticks can support my full body weight.

126
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,000
I think crazy.

127
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
Crazy? The local guy. Crazy.

128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
We're trying to do it right and they say you bring the water from this cave to the other cave.

129
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
Can you see? Yeah.

130
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
When you come down, I'm going to have to this stair.

131
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Careful Josh. Yeah.

132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Jarrah, this is Josh. I'm at the bottom of the cliff and there's a small cave opening here. I'm going in.

133
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Ready?

134
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Got it. That was easy. Nothing to it.

135
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:10,000
We were running out of light so my team and I took our holy water to the village near Bantuul and put our investigation in motion.

136
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
That one's here. B.

137
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
I think that's it. We're walking.

138
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,000
Yeah. I don't know.

139
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
In order to navigate the confusing caverns, we hired a local cave guide and also a medium who would help us communicate with the spirits in the local tongue.

140
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Lilik, here is a medium.

141
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:38,000
And Lilik, do you think that these ghosts may appear tonight? Do you think it's possible that we all could see these ghosts?

142
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,000
My personal opinion, it is haunted.

143
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Do you think it's dangerous to go in this cave and look for ghosts? Do you think that's inviting?

144
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,000
If you want to look for ghosts, of course it's dangerous.

145
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:57,000
We continued our hike to find the entrance of the cave. After hours of lugging our gear, day turned to night and we finally reached our destination.

146
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Guys, I think we set up base camp right here. When the cable's down, we start setting up cameras inside the cave.

147
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Let's set it up, guys. Let's get going. It's going to be a long night.

148
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Any scorpion is big to me. Where is it?

149
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,000
It's small. Is that dangerous?

150
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Small is more dangerous.

151
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Just a tad bit higher and just a hair to the left. It will be good.

152
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,000
We got multiple higher cameras. We're on as far as we can inside the cave.

153
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
We've got another bank of cameras out here covering the mouth of the cave.

154
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,000
All right, so I'll stay here at base camp and I'll monitor all the cameras that we have set up.

155
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:38,000
This is a cave which is going to have probably some baths in it, but other than that, it's hopefully not going to be an overly dynamic environment.

156
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,000
So we're looking for anything that registers in terms of movement or noise or smell.

157
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
The hallway is flooded.

158
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
This is what you get when you ask for more flashlights in Indonesia.

159
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
All right, guys, let's go.

160
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Let's go.

161
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
It's very deep over here. State of the left.

162
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Look at us, the far left. Base camp to Josh.

163
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Hey, guys. You're not alone.

164
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Oh my God.

165
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Yeah, I just want you guys to know I've seen a large eel, about three or four feet long.

166
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Take me out of your white ****, Josh. Take my own nose.

167
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Jack, I'm so scared.

168
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000
I'm so scared.

169
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,000
I'm so scared.

170
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
I'm so scared.

171
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
I'm so scared.

172
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,000
I'm so scared.

173
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,000
I'm so scared.

174
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,000
Take me out of your white ****, Jack. Take my own nose.

175
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Jack, keep your eyes open down there.

176
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Let's all just stay calm for a second.

177
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
Let's move it. Everybody be very careful where you step.

178
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Josh for gate, come in gate.

179
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Go for base camp.

180
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,000
Probably about 100 meters or so inside the cave.

181
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Yeah, you guys aren't coming through.

182
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Damn it.

183
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
Do you read me? Base camp over?

184
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Check, check, check. Come in, Gabe.

185
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,000
So, if I say no more communication with topside, on our own.

186
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Looks like someone's been scraping this.

187
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Looks like scrape marks.

188
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Just looks like someone clawed their way up here.

189
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
They're best.

190
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Nice slow movements.

191
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The more you flinch, the more they bump into you.

192
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
They're gonna go for my hair.

193
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
No, no, they're gonna fly around you.

194
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
But if you make fast movements, they can't react in time when they bump into you.

195
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
You have your holy water, right?

196
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Yes, we have it.

197
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
You can place it here as an offering.

198
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Maybe with a lot of luck we see ghosts.

199
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,000
So we'll do a nice AVP session in here.

200
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
See if we hear anything.

201
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Yeah, okay.

202
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,000
So let's go dark.

203
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,000
See if we record anything.

204
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
See if we can, you know, experience anything.

205
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,000
Is there anybody here?

206
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
Is there anybody in this cave?

207
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Oh, that's the image detector.

208
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
The image detector's off the charts.

209
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
It's just something that preserves sensing an enormous magnetic disturbance.

210
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Ari, is he sensing anything?

211
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Someone is coming.

212
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Who is coming?

213
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
Behind him.

214
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Okay, okay.

215
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Behind him?

216
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Behind him.

217
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Behind him, Jed.

218
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,000
There's someone behind him.

219
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Yes.

220
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
He says there's something behind you.

221
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I don't like that.

222
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Where is it behind him?

223
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
I got something on his left shoulder.

224
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,000
There, okay.

225
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,000
I'm getting out of here.

226
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Why?

227
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,000
Why do you freaking go so late?

228
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,000
Can you hear that?

229
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
What's that?

230
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Is that a radio?

231
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
I want to hear that radio.

232
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
What is that noise?

233
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
It sounds like somebody walking in water.

234
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Yep.

235
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
What is that noise?

236
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
I don't know.

237
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I wonder who's behind Jed.

238
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
He's gone.

239
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
I don't see him now.

240
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
He got it.

241
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Yeah, but he's not in the tower.

242
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,000
What does he say?

243
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Can we go?

244
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
See you, Frank.

245
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
No, get the light down.

246
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,000
The light's on.

247
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,000
We had only just begun our investigation,

248
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,000
but suddenly our guide and medium were having second thoughts

249
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
about continuing further into the cave

250
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
where they said the paranormal activity was sure to escalate.

251
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
He's refusing to act as our machine, yeah?

252
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Yeah, yeah.

253
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:56,000
If we use the medium, we're going to make his life a bit dangerous

254
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
because he can lose his life, he said.

255
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Now we're alone in the dark deep cave.

256
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Let's see what happens.

257
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
The medium had told us that it was the center of the cave

258
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
where most people had experienced significant paranormal activity,

259
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
so my team and I pressed on.

260
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
The only way forward from here is to go up this waterfall.

261
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
I don't know what the conditions are like on the other side,

262
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
but that's where the cave continues.

263
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Let's send you up first, see if you can get up there

264
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
and scout it out a little bit.

265
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,000
And if it's clear, we'll continue on.

266
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,000
Okay.

267
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Something's swimming in here.

268
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,000
Something's swimming in here.

269
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Hey, guys, I don't think this is going to work.

270
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Okay.

271
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
That's as far as we go.

272
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Let's get that one out of here.

273
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
That's totally flooded out.

274
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Okay, through there.

275
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
There's something swimming around in there as well and out to my neck.

276
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
So let's just double back to the dry area we had back here.

277
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
Let's set up our equipment there.

278
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,000
I'm just going to make it through here.

279
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
With the flooding of the cave keeping us from going any further,

280
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000
we set up our equipment and monitored for any paranormal activity.

281
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,000
After almost an hour, my crew and I suddenly experienced

282
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
a flurry of strange happenings.

283
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Is there anything else you want to talk about?

284
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
What is that?

285
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,000
Hear that?

286
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Yeah.

287
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Can we feel the thermal?

288
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
Oh, f**k.

289
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
So much of the cause of the rain.

290
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,000
It's just a little bit of a flurry of strange happenings.

291
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Is there anybody in this cave?

292
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Can you please give us a sign of your presence?

293
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
What is your name?

294
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,000
No.

295
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000
What was that?

296
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Hear that?

297
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Yeah.

298
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Oh, f**k.

299
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,000
So much of the cause of the rain.

300
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
A path?

301
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Is there someone in this cave with us?

302
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Whoa.

303
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
I just saw something right behind you.

304
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Like a black object right behind your head, right up there.

305
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Like it was like a cloud right behind your head.

306
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:00,000
I hear things on my headphones.

307
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
What are you hearing?

308
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
It just sounds like a heartbeat.

309
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
I don't know.

310
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
I just saw it again.

311
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,000
What was that?

312
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,000
That was a big.

313
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:20,000
That was really big.

314
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
That was like a voice.

315
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
That sounded like somebody inhaling.

316
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Can we turn lights back on, yeah?

317
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Jared, what does it sound like to you?

318
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,000
It sounds like someone slowly walking through the water.

319
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
I can't see it.

320
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000
F**k somebody down there.

321
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
What?

322
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,000
I just saw a wire.

323
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000
It sounds like something's moving around down there.

324
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It just sounded like a voice.

325
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,000
A minute ago it sounded like somebody was talking.

326
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
I'm freezing.

327
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
I feel so icy cold.

328
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
I feel like I'm freezing.

329
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
Chris bumps up bullf**ks.

330
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I f**king start shaking.

331
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
I don't know what it is.

332
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
I feel like something's right around me.

333
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
It's creeping me out.

334
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
What the f**k?

335
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Right over your right shoulder.

336
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,000
And I thought I saw like a ball behind you.

337
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Can you speak to us?

338
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:34,000
What's that?

339
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
I swear to God I can hear a voice down there.

340
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
It's like a whisper.

341
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000
A female voice.

342
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000
Yes.

343
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000
It's like a soft female whisper.

344
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,000
And...

345
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,000
No.

346
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
What's that?

347
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,000
What?

348
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,000
It sounds like a woman singing.

349
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,000
I heard it.

350
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Almost as quickly as the strange occurrences began

351
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
in the deep recesses of the cave, they abruptly stopped.

352
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
We monitored for another two hours before determining

353
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:12,000
we'd experienced all the cave was going to offer for one night.

354
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
My team and I packed up our investigation equipment

355
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
and headed back toward the mouth of the cave.

356
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
We all felt we had experienced something bizarre inside the cave.

357
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
During our long hike back to the surface,

358
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,000
I wondered what logical explanation there could be

359
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,000
for the sound of a woman singing that we all distinctly heard.

360
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,000
And what were those orbs of heat we caught on the thermal imager

361
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
and black shadows moving near my cameraman?

362
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
I couldn't be sure and was determined to find out.

363
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
We traveled all the way back to our offices in Los Angeles

364
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,000
where we spun back our footage to be reviewed by Dan Mughany,

365
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
seasoned investigator and head of the Southern California Paranormal Research Society

366
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,000
in an effort to enhance and explain the strange images we captured in the caves.

367
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,000
We have a couple of times these very odd heat signatures

368
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000
that we get from the thermal imager.

369
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Long, short and then back long.

370
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Because that is mathematical with the camera movement,

371
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
it has to be something back there fixed to the wall.

372
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,000
So if that was, let's say, a headlamp that was sitting there

373
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
and we're picking up on the heat of the headlamp,

374
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
that heat can be reflected.

375
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
There's nothing behind her there.

376
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,000
It's not moving.

377
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
It's pretty much stationary except for the shadow.

378
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
That's why we think it, I would say, would be something that would be stationary there fixed to the wall.

379
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
It could be a battery pack.

380
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:37,000
Although Dan wasn't prepared to call this heat signature paranormal evidence,

381
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,000
I can attest to the fact that there was no battery pack

382
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
or any other object behind Ryder

383
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
that could cause this kind of reading on our thermal imager.

384
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:48,000
This, to us, was the most compelling thing that we saw all night.

385
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
What do you make of that when you see it?

386
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
The dark coming in is more like a shadow with the IR.

387
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
The white.

388
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,000
The dark coming in is more like a shadow with the IR.

389
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,000
This, to us, was the most compelling thing that we saw all night.

390
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Whoa.

391
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
What do you make of that when you see it?

392
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
It could be a bug that flies through.

393
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,000
It could be your reflection off of that coming back in your reaction,

394
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,000
which kind of sponsored him in saying, well, you know, what happened?

395
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Whoa.

396
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,000
This reaction does bring in the personal factor.

397
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:49,000
And anytime we have a piece of evidence, we look at it just as the evidence itself.

398
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,000
We try to debunk it, find out other rational explanations for it.

399
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,000
We have to throw in the personal factor as well.

400
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,000
And he does seem to react to something that is going by there.

401
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
He was recording it at the time.

402
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,000
You caught an EVP or a voice or something else.

403
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
We definitely add to that at this point.

404
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
It's kind of, I like it, but it's inconclusive.

405
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Now looking for corroborative audio evidence,

406
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
we meticulously isolated our recordings from our night in the cave

407
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,000
and brought them to Troy Tackett,

408
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
an EVP expert from the West Coast Paranormal Research Society

409
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
to get his take on our recordings.

410
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
You got the recordings that we sent you from the cave?

411
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Yeah, I sure did.

412
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,000
And what did you find?

413
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Okay, so one of the cool things that I caught was, come help me.

414
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,000
It does sound like come help me.

415
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
This one was kind of interesting.

416
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
It sounds like a kid's voice.

417
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,000
Yeah, it's like behind our voices.

418
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Yeah, it's definitely, it's right here.

419
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Yeah, it sounds like there's another voice underneath there.

420
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
That's creepy.

421
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Here's the next unknown.

422
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
It almost sounds like someone's saying a little kid's saying like help me.

423
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:08,000
That's creepy.

424
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
It does sound like a little kid talking.

425
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Yeah.

426
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:15,000
I'd say there's definitely something, someone to talk to you.

427
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Despite the apparent English-speaking Indonesian spirits,

428
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,000
some experts do believe that the voice of the voice of the voice

429
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,000
of the spirits, some experts do believe that the departed communicate

430
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:25,000
in the visitor's language.

431
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
And Mr. Tackett's own belief that this is a

432
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,000
paranormal-active place is compelling.

433
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
My own reservations about calling this spot haunted

434
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,000
come from the unique acoustic conditions inside the caverns.

435
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
With baths, dripping water, and endless echoing chambers,

436
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,000
we wouldn't be able to close the books on this one.

437
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Although my gut feeling says that I'm not going to plan a return visit

438
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
to the cave's near-banned tool anytime soon.

439
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Those wishing to continue our research,

440
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
I'll be more than happy to draw you a map to the cave.

441
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Enter at your own risk.

442
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
From underground to down under, we set our sights

443
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
on a 65-million-year-old mystery.

444
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000
If you saw the movie Jurassic Park, then you know what could happen

445
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000
if dinosaurs lived among us in the 21st century.

446
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:02,000
It's not pretty.

447
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,000
While the people living in the northern territories of Australia

448
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,000
say that the movie is coming to life right before their eyes,

449
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
a giant prehistoric creature known as the Barringer

450
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
is reportedly thrashing through the outback

451
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
and leaving half-eaten cattle in its wake.

452
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:17,000
My team and I pulled together dozens of eyewitness testimonies

453
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
and various descriptions of the Barringer

454
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
in order to build a virtual portrait of this rampaging raptor.

455
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Here's what we came up with.

456
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
The Barringer is almost always sighted at night

457
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
and in the most remote areas of the outback

458
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
in the northern territory of Australia.

459
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,000
All of the reports claim the creature is nearly 25 feet tall,

460
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,000
stands on two legs, and has two very small forelimbs.

461
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
They also say he leaves a three-toed footprint,

462
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,000
has a long 10-foot tail and formidable teeth similar to a T-rex.

463
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
My team and I packed up and headed out,

464
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
armed and ready for a close encounter of the prehistoric kind.

465
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
We flew 17 hours through Sydney, Australia,

466
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
finally arriving in the city of Darwin in the northern territory.

467
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
After a long all-night flight,

468
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,000
I grabbed a morning cup of Joe to get me going.

469
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,000
That is an awful cup of coffee.

470
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
That is the worst cup of coffee in Australia.

471
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
I knew we wouldn't find the Barringer here in the city,

472
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
so we set a course for deep in the outback.

473
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
We found two local guides and professional Mad Max extras

474
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,000
who would travel with us and lead us to an area called Arnhem Land,

475
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,000
one of the last remaining aboriginal communities in the northern outback.

476
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000
The people there claim to have seen the Barringer firsthand.

477
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Australia appears to be on fire.

478
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
Should I call somebody? I don't just...

479
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Our guides explained that the fires were actually controlled

480
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
and were set by the Department of Wildlife.

481
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
The good thing is we didn't start it.

482
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
That looks a little full for us to cross.

483
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
Our guides explained that Indigenous Australians

484
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
have one of the oldest oral histories on Earth,

485
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
dating back more than 50,000 years.

486
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
At the heart of this is the dreaming,

487
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,000
a complicated mythology surrounding the creation of animals and Earth.

488
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000
Stories such as the accounts of the Barringer could exist in a middle ground.

489
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
My job now was to separate myth from reality.

490
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
After hours on the road, darkness fell and we set up camp for the night.

491
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000
I sat down with our guides to hear their experiences.

492
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,000
It's not a mythological legend. These are actual beings, you know?

493
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,000
They're real things.

494
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
Locals here are often private with their stories and suspicious of foreigners,

495
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
but we gained a bit of trust from our guide

496
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,000
and he eventually let on that he had his own childhood encounter with the Barringer.

497
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
One night we were driving up the coast.

498
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
You could see tracks on the road where it looked like a big number of bullocks had run across you.

499
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
And the old man, my stepfather, slowed right down.

500
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Next to me in front of the road, you could see, you could see it.

501
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
It was a big talk, like if I stood on my chair, I'd still be shorter than him.

502
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Now when I turned around and looked at my old man, the old man doesn't say nothing.

503
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Although both of our guides clearly believed in the Barringer's existence,

504
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
they also seemed skittish about talking too openly about the creature.

505
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:05,000
I was hoping the rest of the community wouldn't be as apprehensive to share their stories.

506
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000
The next morning I whipped my team into shape,

507
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
running pretty tight ship here at Destination Truth.

508
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
What was that?

509
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,000
And we made our way to Arnhem Land.

510
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,000
We were granted permission to enter this very private area

511
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,000
and some of the locals greeted us with a traditional dance.

512
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:48,000
I am the world's worst didgeridoo player.

513
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:55,000
I'm going to practice and I'll come back in about 50 years and we'll try this again.

514
00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:00,000
We spoke to various eyewitnesses who recounted their stories about the Barringer.

515
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:04,000
It came all the way from north, you're just looking for the water.

516
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
And what does the creature look like?

517
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
A creature.

518
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And what color is it?

519
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Orange color.

520
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:14,000
This man explained that many people believed that the Barringer lives 200 miles north

521
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,000
in an area where a tall ridge meets a skinny lake.

522
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,000
I'm sure that will be a snap to find in the endless expanses of the outback.

523
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Nevertheless, this described habitat was consistent with other eyewitness reports from the north,

524
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:27,000
allowing us to hone in on a target area.

525
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,000
We now needed wings if we were going to make it there before dark.

526
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:34,000
It was up to Ryder to find us one of those famous Australian bush pilots.

527
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Do you know where I can find a pilot?

528
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:43,000
I was looking for where I could find the pilot.

529
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
And while she looked for an aviator, I conducted my own search for snacks at the local market.

530
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Getting closer, best before the 26th of March 2004.

531
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
30% less fat than other dinosaur food items.

532
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Wait a minute.

533
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,000
I just found a Barringer, nailed it, episodes over.

534
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:06,000
Ryder finally had some success in finding a pilot to take us to where the locals claim

535
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,000
the Barringer roams the land at night looking for food.

536
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000
So where we're going to meet Luke, our pilot.

537
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
It's an old looking plane.

538
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
Alright, so what I'd like to do if possible is head out towards the Spencer Ranch here.

539
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
We're looking for kind of a particular habitat.

540
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:23,000
When we see it, try to take it down if there's a place to land.

541
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,000
As close to that as possible.

542
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,000
Yeah.

543
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,000
We'll try to set down somewhere.

544
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000
We flew due north, searching within the perimeter of our eyewitness sightings for a tall ridge

545
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
next to a skinny lake.

546
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
The locals description of the creature's habitat.

547
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:40,000
This felt worse than looking for a needle in a haystack and was beginning to feel like a huge waste of time.

548
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,000
When low and behold, I spotted a tall ridge in a skinny lake.

549
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Bingo!

550
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Scanning the endless expanses of the outback for the described habitat of the mysterious Barringer,

551
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
we were about to give up hope when we spotted a tall ridge and a skinny lake,

552
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,000
the exact location we'd been searching for.

553
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,000
I told the pilot to...

554
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Take it down. Over there, yeah?

555
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:09,000
And just in time, if you'd asked Ryder.

556
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000
When we landed, Ryder complained of dizziness.

557
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Worried that she was suffering from dehydration in the extreme heat,

558
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
I had our medic Jared check her out.

559
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
What we'll do is just get your blood pressure just to start so we'll see where we go with it.

560
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Let's go squeeze your arm a little bit.

561
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000
If we can just get her over to the investigation site and kind of hang back there and forget when we set stuff up.

562
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Yeah.

563
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Or we could shoot her and put her down.

564
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
One less person.

565
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:32,000
We'll trip the fat.

566
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
I can hear you idiots!

567
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
With a few minutes of rest and a quick shot of fluids, Ryder was back on our feet.

568
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
We made arrangements for the pilot to pick us up the next day and we began hiking towards the lake.

569
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:51,000
At over 100,000 kilometers and with less than 15,000 residents, Arnhem land is almost entirely unpopulated.

570
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:55,000
Whether it's a dinosaur or not, there is certainly no shortage of dangerous wildlife

571
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,000
and potentially undiscovered species of animals lurking around here.

572
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Alright guys, this is the area we surveyed from the plane.

573
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,000
We have a water source down here. These rocks go up in the hills over here.

574
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
This should be ground zero. We need to set up the laptops in here.

575
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,000
Start sending out the cameras.

576
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,000
Alright guys, let's get started.

577
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
Oh yeah.

578
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
I just branched it off a little.

579
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
I was attacked.

580
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,000
It was attacked by a barrenger. That's how it happened.

581
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,000
I punched it right in the mouth.

582
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,000
How's everyone feeling?

583
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Good. Better. Thank you.

584
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000
In terms of our investigation for tonight, you know, what we're looking for is ostensibly very large.

585
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:43,000
And so we really, tonight, really want to be listening, I think, for the sounds of something really large moving through the bush.

586
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:49,000
We know that there are wooded valleys here, here, here, and we have this sort of water source down here.

587
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
I think our plan should be to kind of investigate these wooded valleys that we can see from this high ridge.

588
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:59,000
We have a set of coordinates ready to back to our pilot who's coming here tomorrow in the afternoon to pick us up.

589
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,000
In between now and then we're on our own.

590
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:03,000
Gabe, you and I will head out first.

591
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Watch yourself. Drops off in the right, Gabe.

592
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:24,000
Hey, wait a minute. Look at this.

593
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
Josh, for base camp, come in, Casey.

594
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
Yeah, go ahead, Josh.

595
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,000
You guys be super careful for snakes down there.

596
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
We're definitely seeing some tracks and stuff up here.

597
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Looks like from some pretty good sized snakes.

598
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,000
All right, you guys be careful as well.

599
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,000
We'll just hold on before the base camp.

600
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Copy that.

601
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
Oh, snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes, snakes.

602
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Casey's pretty agitated.

603
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000
Be real careful. Some of these cliffs obviously fall right off here.

604
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Watch out for those snakes.

605
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I'm going to go get some of these.

606
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000
I'm going to get some of these.

607
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:07,000
I'm going to get some of these.

608
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:09,000
I'm going to get some of these.

609
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,000
Watch out for those snakes.

610
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Is this the way we came?

611
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
No. No, I think we're a little bit lost.

612
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Gabe, here's our gully.

613
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,000
It's a lucky break.

614
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Almost got lost there.

615
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:34,000
You know, after a little while, all these rocks start to look the same.

616
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
I mean, one wrong turn out here,

617
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,000
you spend the rest of your life wandering around out here.

618
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Where is that coming from?

619
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000
Josh for base camp? Can I base camp?

620
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Yeah, go ahead, Josh.

621
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000
We're just on the other side of this river bank,

622
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:56,000
and we keep hearing something kind of moving around down in the water.

623
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Anything on the cameras?

624
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
No, I've got two cameras over that way.

625
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000
I'm not seeing anything right now.

626
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,000
Something's not like it's on the land.

627
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
Stand by, we just heard it again.

628
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,000
What the hell is that?

629
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,000
There.

630
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Casey, there is definitely something living in here.

631
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
We've all heard that there's definitely something here.

632
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
I don't think it's a fish. I think whatever it is,

633
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
kind of come in and out of the water.

634
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000
So guys definitely stay on alert on that side of the river.

635
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
Yeah, copy.

636
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,000
You doing something?

637
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Yeah, but I can't tell what it is.

638
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Come here, look at this.

639
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Look at that.

640
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
Is that a snake?

641
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Or just a weed?

642
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,000
That's a weed that's getting tugged on.

643
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
That's not wind.

644
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,000
You want to go check that out?

645
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Yeah, why don't you head on up there and take a picture?

646
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Let's go find it.

647
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Cricket.

648
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Good, Doug.

649
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Can you catch it?

650
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Dude.

651
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
Got us dinner, man.

652
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
The size of the legs.

653
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:28,000
I wish you'd wash your hands.

654
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
It could be poisonous.

655
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
I heard...

656
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:40,000
What are you hearing?

657
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Sounds like the limb is being broken up there.

658
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Hey, are you guys by chance to the south of Base Camp right now?

659
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
No, we're pretty far east of you guys at this point.

660
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:01,000
We're hearing some limbs cracking over this rock ledge to ourself.

661
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,000
I wondered if you guys were down there, maybe.

662
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000
We heard some stuff cracking as well, really far off from our location back towards you,

663
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
so I think we're hearing the same thing.

664
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Sounds like some pretty substantial limbs being snapped or broken.

665
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:16,000
I mean, not too far away, either.

666
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,000
I copy that. We're going to get up and hide around here in two minutes.

667
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Trash for QZ.

668
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,000
Yeah, go ahead.

669
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,000
We've hiked way up onto our eyes.

670
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,000
There's a huge tree up here that's just been ripped apart,

671
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:38,000
and it's actually just sort of been tossed aside here.

672
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
The roots of the tree aren't even anywhere near this.

673
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:44,000
It's a little hard to explain, but I think more interesting on that

674
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
is that we're just hearing something, and these woods are at the on-dust.

675
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Just sitting here like paint and the bell.

676
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,000
Yeah, we've got a couple of dummies.

677
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
What's that?

678
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
What's that?

679
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
Is that something getting attacked?

680
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Yeah. Hey, man, we just heard...

681
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,000
It would sound like an animal being attacked over here.

682
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Yeah, we just heard some weird noises, too.

683
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
We just heard... It sounded almost feline.

684
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,000
Yeah, it's exactly what we heard.

685
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
High-pitched, sounded like almost a large feline.

686
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
It happened not far from us.

687
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,000
Let's have what we're going to do.

688
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,000
We'll abandon base camp for the moment,

689
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,000
pop up on these rocks and see if we can see where it came from.

690
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
Alright, check it out. We're going to start looping around.

691
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Ready? Yeah.

692
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,000
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

693
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
What was that?

694
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:01,000
What was that?

695
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:03,000
I don't know. That was huge.

696
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,000
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

697
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,000
What was that?

698
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:18,000
What was that?

699
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
I don't know. That was huge.

700
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:23,000
I can't... Did that come out of the...

701
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,000
Did that come out of the tree?

702
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,000
I don't know.

703
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,000
I don't like being under the tree now.

704
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
I can't tell if it came out of this tree

705
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
or if it was as tall, you know, as ten feet up and just went back.

706
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:43,000
I didn't see it enough. It was big and gray.

707
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Yeah, I saw gray as well.

708
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
Bird?

709
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
No, it was way too big.

710
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
Josh, do you copy?

711
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,000
Something is just knocking trees down.

712
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Just down.

713
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,000
Oh, oh, oh. What is that?

714
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
My f***ing skidget. Can you guys hear that one?

715
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,000
We heard something in the woods.

716
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
I can see your lights down in the valley below.

717
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,000
We're going to head back down and I'll run with you in a bit.

718
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,000
Copy.

719
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Okay, what's going on, guys?

720
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Okay.

721
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,000
So we kind of peeled out of here, went up over the ridge to look around.

722
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Yeah, we heard that same noise from where we were.

723
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:35,000
Didn't see anything being attacked or didn't see anything running to that,

724
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:38,000
but we saw something fly out of the tree or from behind a tree.

725
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:40,000
So you think it was a bird? You're not sure?

726
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:41,000
I'm not sure.

727
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Okay, let's get that parabolic fish up and around and head back to that ridge.

728
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,000
Okay, you're on your way.

729
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,000
We all definitely heard something large moving around.

730
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,000
But since we were having difficulty getting a visual on it,

731
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:55,000
my plan was to take some audio recordings with the parabolic dish,

732
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
a device that amplifies distant sound.

733
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:01,000
I hoped it would help us distinguish whatever animal was snapping those branches.

734
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,000
It's like a cat.

735
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,000
It's a reed.

736
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,000
Let me see that dish.

737
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
Can you let me see that dish?

738
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,000
Hear that?

739
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
I lost it, whatever it is.

740
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
We listened with the parabolic dish for close to two hours,

741
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,000
but whatever was moving around our camp earlier never returned.

742
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Well, I mean we got one.

743
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,000
A couple hours till the sun comes up.

744
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:48,000
I think we get back to camp,

745
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,000
pare all this down and restore main cameras and see if we see anything moving around.

746
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:54,000
I don't know, those two.

747
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,000
We have two tents set up.

748
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,000
I think it's time for us to hit the sack for a couple hours.

749
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,000
My team and I were exhausted.

750
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:07,000
We decided to let the trap cameras roll until morning

751
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:10,000
and get some much needed shut-eye by the safety of firelight.

752
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,000
The next morning, my team and I surveyed the area in daylight

753
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,000
to see if there was any trace of what was bumping around during the night.

754
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:32,000
After hours of searching, we came across pristine aboriginal cave art.

755
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:36,000
Local people created these incredible drawings more than 10,000 years ago

756
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,000
with messages for future generations,

757
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,000
warning them of dangerous animals and potential food sources.

758
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,000
I mean this is really the one of interest, this is kind of uncommon in terms of...

759
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000
One picture in particular captured the descriptive elements we'd heard about the Barringer.

760
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
But then again, it also shared characteristics of the extinct Tasmanian tiger,

761
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,000
a very real beast that used to roam Australia centuries ago.

762
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:00,000
I wondered if the murmurings of a prehistoric creature living in the outback

763
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,000
could be chalked up to the memory and storytelling of this or other extinct animals.

764
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,000
While there probably isn't room even in a place as vast and wild as Australia

765
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
for a 25-foot dinosaur to stay off the radar,

766
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:15,000
stories of animals like the Barringer are fascinating to investigate

767
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:20,000
since they are a thread in the oral history that helps to define indigenous Australian culture.

768
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:22,000
With tens of thousands of years of legends at their backs,

769
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,000
I knew there was much more to these aboriginal stories

770
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,000
than I could hope to discover in my short time here.

771
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:29,000
But with more mysteries calling my name,

772
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:32,000
I was off to another remote destination in an all-new adventure.

773
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Thank you for watching.
