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

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
my team journeys across Fiji looking for the ghosts of men

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
devoured by a cannibal tribe.

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Six of them were cooked and eaten by the Nitties.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Deep in the island's interior, at a former cannibal village,

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
this tropical paradise turns into a paranormal nightmare.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
If you feel you were wronged, please let me know.

8
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Next, my team blazes through the wilderness of the Philippines

9
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
in search of a deadly monster.

10
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
In the crumbling remains of a former military base,

11
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
we discover that this mythical creature is more than just a legend.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,000
I'm Josh Gates.

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,000
In my travels, I've seen some unexplainable things,

14
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
and I've done some things I can't quite explain.

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Now, I've pulled together a team armed with the latest technology

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,000
in the search for answers to the world's strangest mysteries.

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,000
I'm not sure what's out there waiting for me,

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:03,000
but I know what I'm looking for.

19
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
The truth.

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
Just a few generations ago,

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
an English missionary named Thomas Baker and his followers

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
attempted to convert a remote tribe in Fiji to Christianity.

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,000
Despite meeting their chief and spending the night in their village,

24
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
the next morning they were murdered,

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
ripped limb from limb and devoured by the cannibal villagers.

26
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Now, the modern-day descendants of the tribe believe the ghosts

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
of the Reverend and his disciples remain

28
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000
and are haunting the cursed village of Nabu Tao Tao.

29
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,000
The villagers are really insistent that this place is haunted.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
They claim they hear the sounds of screaming, crying,

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
they see apparitions moving around in the jungle at night.

32
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
It's pretty terrifying stuff.

33
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
For years, the locals have tried to put the spirits to rest

34
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,000
by asking Reverend Baker's descendants for forgiveness

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
and performing rituals of exorcism.

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
However, nothing has silenced the unexplained supernatural activity

37
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
in the village.

38
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And so, despite the risks ahead,

39
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
we've packed up our gear and set out in search of a paranormal cannibal village

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
hidden deep in the south of the city.

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
From our headquarters in Los Angeles,

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000
my team and I flew 5,500 miles to the city of Nandi in Fiji.

43
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
For such a small country, we were greeted with a big welcome.

44
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Best airport ever.

45
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
We made quick work of exiting the airport,

46
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,000
picked up a car and hit the road.

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Okay, everybody, welcome to Fiji.

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,000
We're going to a cannibal village.

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Okay, we're in a mall.

50
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
We began by driving 120 miles east across the island to the city of Suva.

51
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
At the Fiji Museum, we got a grisly look at the history of cannibalism,

52
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,000
including Reverend Baker's actual shoe,

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000
the one part of him too tough for the villagers to consume.

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
To learn more about this unimaginable tradition,

55
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I spoke with a local archaeologist.

56
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Talk to me a little bit about the history of cannibalism here in Fiji.

57
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Cannibalism was an integral part of the Fijian society,

58
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
because it was practiced widely in those early days.

59
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000
One good record is this old chief wanted a stone being placed outside this house

60
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,000
whenever he consumed a body, and they counted 892 stones.

61
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
And just that one village?

62
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Just one village.

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And tell me a little bit about Reverend Baker and what became of him.

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:22,000
He went up to Numbutautau, and six of them were cooked and eaten by the natives.

65
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
It really cursed the village.

66
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
I think the hand of God was working against them.

67
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Alright, since this is still an active village, we're going to need to bring some gifts.

68
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Perfect.

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Like a bouquet of flowers, maybe some jenga, like a game would be nice.

70
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,000
The traditional offering is kava root and tobacco.

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
We'll try to find both in the local market.

72
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
Sure, yeah, that's fine too.

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
We arrived in the market and began our search for the intoxicating kava root.

74
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
The eye-catching local fashion stopped us in our tracks.

75
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Oh my God, look at you.

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Full dental hygienist.

77
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,000
I do need my teeth cleaned.

78
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,000
I was also puzzled by the variety of unusual looking souvenirs.

79
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
What is this?

80
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Cannibal fork.

81
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
A cannibal fork?

82
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Yeah.

83
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And what would somebody eat with this?

84
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Brain.

85
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
A man's brain?

86
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Ma'am, I don't eat enough brains that I think I need this in my life.

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:21,000
Cannibal weapons were everywhere, and though they were old, they still seemed incredibly effective.

88
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Does this thing work?

89
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
It really does.

90
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
This thing works great.

91
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Sorry, buddy.

92
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Before the entire crew could get tribal on each other, I was fortunate enough to find the kava root I was looking for.

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
This is kava.

94
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
The longer it is, the longer it's been growing.

95
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
This is like 10 or 11 years growing in the ground.

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
How do you know so much about kava?

97
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
It used to be a kava dealer when I was younger.

98
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
It's a time for it, Chuvy.

99
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:53,000
With our shopping done, we left the paved roads behind and headed 60 miles deep into the island's interior.

100
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:59,000
My plan was to retrace Baker's journey by first visiting another former cannibal village called Sautabu,

101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,000
where he preached just days before his brutal demise.

102
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
The cannibals there cooked their victims in an isolated cave, which is now rumored to be haunted with a powerful supernatural presence.

103
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:16,000
After two hours of driving, we arrived in the village where a local ambassador granted us a meeting with the tribe's powerful chief.

104
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Though cannibalism isn't practiced anymore, tribal law still rules and I'd need his permission to explore the cave.

105
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Luckily, he shared a drink with me, signaling his approval.

106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:43,000
We were immediately let out of the hut and while my team celebrated our acceptance with the locals,

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,000
I spoke with the chief's ambassador to learn more about the local paranormal activity.

108
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Tell me about this cave that's near the village.

109
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000
In the cave there's an oven. It's where the enemy, where they've been cooked and eaten.

110
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
We can feel that something is happening there before, like haunted police.

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
The tribe agreed to allow a small group of us to explore the hidden cave

112
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
and Tristant, Katie, Dave and I immediately headed out on foot.

113
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000
A short hike later, we arrived at the foreboding entrance.

114
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Guys, I think we're here. It's not very inviting.

115
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,000
Alright, let's check it out. Here we go.

116
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
This is not what I thought my trip to Fiji was going to be like.

117
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Oh my god, look at this. Look at this place.

118
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Wow. Huge.

119
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000
So we know that Reverend Baker actually came to this cave right before he went up to Nobu Tautau.

120
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000
And we know that a lot of people were killed down here in tribal ceremonies.

121
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
Guys, check this out. This must be the cannibal oven.

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Oh my god, there's a bone in it.

123
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Look at that. There's still scorching and it will look like there might be blood marks on the wall.

124
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Let's definitely get an EVP session going here.

125
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Who knows how many people were cooked in this oven?

126
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Is there anybody here?

127
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,000
We know that people were butchered and cooked.

128
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Inside this cave.

129
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Tell us your name.

130
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Do you hear that?

131
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Yeah. I heard something moving around back there.

132
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
It sounded like a cry.

133
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
It did. It sounded vocal.

134
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Hello?

135
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Oh, right over here. I see a light. I see a light!

136
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
There. Come here.

137
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,000
I just saw a pin prick of light for a split second.

138
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
It was not a reflection. It was not something coming off the water down there.

139
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
It looked like something was going on.

140
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
I think it was a light.

141
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000
I think it was a light.

142
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000
I think it was a light.

143
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,000
I think it was a light.

144
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,000
I think it was a light.

145
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,000
I think it was a light.

146
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,000
It was not a reflection. It was not something coming off the water down there.

147
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
It looked like something incandescent again.

148
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
I'm pretty sure I got it on this.

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,000
I don't even know if it's in focus. I got it for half a second.

150
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
Whatever that was, it was coming from the direction we came in.

151
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Let's grab the audio recorder and start making our way back out, see if we see it again.

152
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
We continue to search the cave but never found the source of the mysterious light.

153
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
We hiked out to the surface.

154
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Cannibal cave check. Let's go.

155
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
And got back on the road.

156
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
This final leg of our journey took us to the heart of the island,

157
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
to the upper village of Nabutautau, where Baker was killed.

158
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Three hours of hard driving later, we arrived in Nabutautau just as night was falling.

159
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Accompanied by our liaison from Saotabu, we sat down with the chief,

160
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
who had a special connection to Reverend Baker.

161
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
We had a...

162
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
a... a limo lubea.

163
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000
His great-grandfather was the one who killed Reverend Baker.

164
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,000
We were on the road to Nabutautau.

165
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,000
After Reverend Baker's death, three of the chiefly sons died mysteriously.

166
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,000
And they felt that God cursed them from what he's done.

167
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
The stone and the axe where Baker has been killed are still here.

168
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,000
And when they walk by there, they can feel the presence.

169
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:39,000
After hearing the chief's story and getting his blessing, we raced to begin our investigation.

170
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,000
The team quickly unloaded our gear and calibrated our equipment.

171
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Our search would take us through multiple areas.

172
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,000
We'd largely avoid the lower village, home to current residents of Nabutautau,

173
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:55,000
and focus our time on the ridge above, where the allegedly haunted village sits in silence.

174
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,000
We'd focus IR cameras on huts where noises have been heard,

175
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,000
building our base camp in a wide clearing.

176
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
We'd then strike out into the thick jungle, searching for the overgrown remains

177
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,000
of the chief's hut where Baker last slept,

178
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,000
as well as the execution stone where the missionaries were murdered.

179
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000
It's a really strange investigation.

180
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
You've got more than 100 people in this village who believe this whole place is haunted.

181
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
By these missionaries that were killed here,

182
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
you know the chief's great-great-grandfather is the one who killed Baker.

183
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,000
And they obviously feel extremely guilty about what happened.

184
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:36,000
And I wonder if they think their town is cursed because of what they did.

185
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
At the same time, though, I don't think guilt can account for a lot of the things they're reporting.

186
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,000
There's chiefs that have cannibalized hundreds of people.

187
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And this is years and years of this.

188
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
It's not just one event.

189
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Alright guys, let's check this place out.

190
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,000
Still in pretty good shape. A lot of spider webs.

191
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
An old cooking pot here.

192
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Hopefully not used to cook people.

193
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I don't like it in here.

194
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Look at this.

195
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
It's like a stone altar.

196
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
Wow.

197
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Maybe used for some sort of ceremony?

198
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Josh?

199
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,000
What do you got?

200
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Is that blood?

201
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
It's all over it.

202
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Maybe this thing was used to butcher something or sacrifice?

203
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Like, there's no other butchering marks. There's no bones. There's no nothing.

204
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
It's like that just appeared on the rock.

205
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
I'm freaking out.

206
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Alright, let's get a sample of it for analysis.

207
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
Then get your hand clean up and get out of this place.

208
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Come on.

209
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Just stopped for Josh and Ryder.

210
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
Yeah, what's up? You're stopped.

211
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Hey guys, I'm seeing some really strange lights.

212
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,000
They almost look like eyes. They're at the top of the hill on my IR camera 2.

213
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Alright, we're not that far from camera 2.

214
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,000
We're going to hustle over there and check it out.

215
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000
Okay, copy that. Let me know.

216
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Alright guys, come on.

217
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Oh, I got something. I got something.

218
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,000
What do you see?

219
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I think I see what Tristan saw.

220
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Hey Tristan, come in. I think we figured out your mister here.

221
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,000
Oh yeah, what do you get up there?

222
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Looks like a couple of horses that were positioned in such a way that their eyes probably looked like they were just floating over the hill.

223
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,000
Okay, copy that. False alarm.

224
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,000
They may be cannibal horses though. I haven't determined that yet.

225
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
Keep your distance just in case.

226
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Let's keep moving.

227
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Move!

228
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,620
Jeez, someone's

229
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,000
What?

230
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Did you see that?

231
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,000
What?

232
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,000
Hold it.

233
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Oh my god.

234
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:41,000
What?

235
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,000
What do you see?

236
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
There's literally like a shape that just went through there.

237
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:50,500
Like, it looked like a figure standing there.

238
00:13:50,500 --> 00:13:53,000
I guess it could have been a shadow, but it wasn't moving though.

239
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:54,000
That's the weird thing.

240
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:57,000
I've seen nothing in the astroscope right now.

241
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,000
Wanna keep going?

242
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,000
Yeah, let's keep going.

243
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:06,000
Guys, there's a huge, huge rock up here.

244
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
I can see it on the thermal.

245
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Is that a placard up there?

246
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
Yeah, it's two plaques.

247
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Obedience all the way to death.

248
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
The Reverend T.

249
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:30,000
and his Vigian assistants met their death in this very place.

250
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Right around here should be the stone where he was decapitated in the axe, which they keep here.

251
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Rather you check that side, I'll check over here.

252
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Okay.

253
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Pretty powerful stuff.

254
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Okay, this looks like where the villagers told us that the chief lived.

255
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
This is definitely a natural fortification.

256
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,000
High stone walls, one entrance.

257
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:57,000
This is it.

258
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Perfect bench.

259
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,000
This must have been where the chief sat.

260
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000
I'm not sure if it's the one that's been there.

261
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,000
I don't know.

262
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Perfect bench.

263
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
This must have been where the chief sat.

264
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:15,000
That must mean that the bed that Reverend Baker last slept in is...

265
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
Right over here.

266
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Oh yeah, and that clearing.

267
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Well, this is a pretty significant spot.

268
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
We should do isolation sessions in this area.

269
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,000
Definitely.

270
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,000
I'll go first.

271
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Yeah, alright. Good luck.

272
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
This is Rishi.

273
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:39,000
First isolation session at the chief's beret.

274
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:50,000
Reverend Baker, if you're out there, give me a sign.

275
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Hey Rishi, how you doing buddy?

276
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:57,000
I don't see anything but I have the chills right now.

277
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,000
You want to come back?

278
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Yeah, I do. I'm on the way.

279
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,000
This is Katie's isolation session.

280
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,000
I'll do a recorder.

281
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:25,000
Alright guys, I'm in position and going dark.

282
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
Okay Katie, we're reaching higher out here at the entrance.

283
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
Call us if you need anything otherwise, good luck in there.

284
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Alright, thanks guys.

285
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Is there anyone here with me?

286
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,000
It's extremely scary.

287
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:48,000
I've got Reverend Baker's last resting place to my left.

288
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:54,000
A complete jungle all around me.

289
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:00,000
If you feel you're wronged, please let me know.

290
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Katie, we're reaching Dave.

291
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Go, go, go.

292
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
I have to leave.

293
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Alright, we're coming to you. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

294
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Oh my god.

295
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,000
You guys, I just felt something touch my neck.

296
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:19,000
There's nothing else moving. There's no wind here.

297
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:23,000
I'm not picking anything up in the astroscope.

298
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
He was just in front of that stone up there.

299
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
Hopefully he got picked up on the voice recorder.

300
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,000
I'm sure he did, it had to.

301
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,000
You okay?

302
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Well, this is one of the scariest things that happened to me.

303
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Let's, you know, leave the voice recorder running, head back to base camp.

304
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Alright.

305
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Rider, rider!

306
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:48,000
What do you got?

307
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
I found it.

308
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,000
That's the actual axe that was used to kill him.

309
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:54,000
Wow.

310
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:59,000
To keep it here as a remembrance of what their ancestors did.

311
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
This is the spot where he was killed.

312
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
We should definitely do an AVP session here.

313
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Yeah, absolutely.

314
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000
We know that this was the site of a murder.

315
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000
We have heard that this area contains a powerful energy.

316
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Are you able to demonstrate that energy for us?

317
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
I'm like, I'm freaking out right now.

318
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Are you here with us right now?

319
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Were you killed by this axe?

320
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Oh my God, something's right there.

321
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
What do you see?

322
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,000
I hear it.

323
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I hear it.

324
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Somebody or something is walking through the woods right now.

325
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I hear it clears the day.

326
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Does it sound like it's getting closer to you though?

327
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,000
It sounds like...

328
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Oh my God!

329
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,000
Axe!

330
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Somebody or something is walking through the woods right now.

331
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
I hear it clears the day.

332
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Does it sound like it's getting closer to you though?

333
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
It sounds like...

334
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Oh my God!

335
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:19,000
Axe!

336
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Whoa!

337
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,000
Did you just bump that?

338
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:22,000
No, I didn't touch it.

339
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
I didn't touch it.

340
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
I'm sure I was two meters away from it.

341
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
I didn't touch it at all.

342
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
I mean, I suppose it could have just slipped off the rocks,

343
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,000
but neither one of us was near it.

344
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,000
What was that?

345
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,000
Is that you trying to manifest yourself?

346
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
Okay.

347
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
Well, we got a lot of activity.

348
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
All the sounds are coming from down here in this section of the forest.

349
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
I say we leave the digital recorder running here in case something else moves.

350
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,000
We follow the sounds.

351
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
Let's get out of here.

352
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Let's go.

353
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,000
We continue to track through the remains of the old village for several hours,

354
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
but never located the source of the sounds Ryder and Kyle had heard.

355
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,000
With the sun on the rise, we packed up our gear

356
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,000
and flew back to Los Angeles to review our findings.

357
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
We analyzed the liquid found on the sacrificial altar.

358
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,000
Josh?

359
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Is that blood?

360
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000
And while it was ultimately inconclusive,

361
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
it did show markers for human blood.

362
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
We know this is an abandoned village.

363
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
There are no sacrifices currently being done there.

364
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Pretty creepy piece of evidence,

365
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
and kind of hard to know quite what to do with it.

366
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Along with this, we had a number of really compelling personal experiences throughout the night.

367
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
This is from Katie's isolation session in the woods.

368
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Check this out.

369
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,000
If you feel you're wronged, please let me know.

370
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,000
She's obviously reacting to something,

371
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
so we went back and went through this frame by frame,

372
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,000
and if you look just before she reacts,

373
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,000
you can actually see that her hair is moved.

374
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Oh yeah.

375
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:54,000
It looks like her hair gets brushed aside right before she reacts to it.

376
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
Like something's there.

377
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Something touches her hair.

378
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:02,000
And along with that, we dug into the audio recordings from her isolation session.

379
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Listen to this.

380
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,000
If you feel you're wronged, please let me know.

381
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:10,000
There's a breathy voice under there.

382
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
You know, often with these personal experiences,

383
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
you have to set them aside.

384
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,000
But here we have corroborating evidence.

385
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,000
We can see that something touches her,

386
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000
and we can actually hear it as well.

387
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000
If you feel you're wronged, please let me know.

388
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:26,000
Really intriguing stuff,

389
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
and actually during our EVP session,

390
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
we also had some weird, weird,

391
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,000
experiences.

392
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
It sounds like...

393
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Oh my God!

394
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Axe.

395
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Whoa.

396
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,000
She just bumped that.

397
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:37,000
No, I didn't touch it.

398
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000
I didn't touch it.

399
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,000
I'm sure.

400
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,000
None of us were anywhere near that axe.

401
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,000
It just went down.

402
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
And going back through the recording of the question that was asked

403
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
right before this, we hear a response.

404
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Were you killed by this axe?

405
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,000
It sounds like a scream.

406
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,000
It sounds exactly like a scream.

407
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,000
It sounds vocal.

408
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,000
It doesn't sound like an animal.

409
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,000
It sounds like somebody's letting out a terrifying voice.

410
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,000
It sounds like somebody's letting out a terrified scream.

411
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,000
Were you killed by this axe?

412
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,000
I felt a really dark energy when we were there.

413
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Put that together with all this evidence,

414
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
and it is really a strong case.

415
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,000
This is a place where there was, you know, a real tragedy,

416
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,000
and it does seem like that continues to echo today.

417
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Fiji is a tropical paradise with a troubled past.

418
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000
The modern villagers here are steeped in tradition,

419
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000
and as hospitable as any people we've ever met.

420
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
But deeper in the volcanic interior,

421
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,000
there are cannibal secrets nearly forgotten.

422
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Oh my God, there's a bone in it.

423
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
In a village where missionaries were savagely consumed,

424
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000
one can still feel the touch of history.

425
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,000
The sound of torment.

426
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,000
And bear witness to the fact that the dead may be consumed,

427
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
but they cannot be confined.

428
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Oh my God!

429
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,000
Axe.

430
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,000
In every society, there exists a boogeyman,

431
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
a terrifying creature rumored to lurk in the darkness.

432
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000
In the islands of the Philippines, that creature is the Capre,

433
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,000
a towering forest monster with a chilling reputation.

434
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
The Capre is a hulking, primate-like monster

435
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,000
that attacks anyone who disturbs its territory.

436
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,000
Sightings occur in the lands of the native Aida people,

437
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
the oldest inhabitants of the Philippines,

438
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,000
who reside in the shadow of the deadly Mount Pinatubo volcano.

439
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
With several locals claiming to have been chased by the beast,

440
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,000
and with some tribal members having gone missing altogether,

441
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,000
these jungle residents were on high alert.

442
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,000
The Capre has been sighted in the Philippines for generations.

443
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
According to eyewitness reports,

444
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
it is a lumbering, ape-like creature.

445
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,000
It is rumored to lurk in tropical forests,

446
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
and fought to nest in large acacia trees.

447
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000
The Capre is massive, walking on two broad feet,

448
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,000
and moving through the jungle under cover of night.

449
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,000
His powerful arms shake the surrounding trees,

450
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
and can deliver a bone-crushing blow to his victims.

451
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Witnesses also recall the creature's piercing eyes,

452
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
and unusually foul stench.

453
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
With terrified locals clamoring for answers,

454
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,000
I assembled a team and packed up our gear

455
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,000
in pursuit of a living, breathing nightmare.

456
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:09,000
We flew 7300 miles west across the Pacific,

457
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000
from Los Angeles to Manila.

458
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Upon arrival, we headed to Baggage Claim,

459
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
where we loaded up the largest cart in the world.

460
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,000
I might overload this luggage cart just a little.

461
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Come on, girl.

462
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Don't get crushed in the front.

463
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:29,000
The first stop in our investigation would be the local university.

464
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,000
But after our long flight, we were ready to eat.

465
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:35,000
So we made a brief stop in Manila's massive downtown shopping district.

466
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Oh, right, they got ballooned.

467
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:37,000
My favorite.

468
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Yeah, we tried that once before.

469
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
I remember, I think we really enjoyed them.

470
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,000
Yeah, it was a long time ago, but I think it went really well.

471
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:44,000
It did.

472
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,000
Oh, balloon.

473
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,000
What is it?

474
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
It is an overdeveloped egg.

475
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:49,000
So this is the head.

476
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
There's a beak in my hand. I felt it.

477
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
It's hard. I don't think it'll go down.

478
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
What do you think? You want to go back for a second?

479
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
Oh, no, no.

480
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,000
I remember enjoying it so much that I don't ever have to try it again.

481
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:03,000
You sure?

482
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Oh, yeah, I'm in a problem.

483
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Okay, we got to get across town to interview a professor at the university.

484
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:13,000
Right.

485
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,000
We should probably try to find some wheels.

486
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:16,000
Okay.

487
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,000
The closest thing to cabs in Manila are motorcycles with flimsy sidecars bolted on.

488
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,000
With our first interview several miles away, we crossed our fingers and climbed the board.

489
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
It's probably not legal.

490
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
Okay, sir, this is it. We'll pull over.

491
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,000
We eventually reached the university.

492
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:43,000
There we had arranged to meet with a professor who was an expert on the history of the Capre.

493
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,000
So describe a Capre for me. What is this creature?

494
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000
A Capre is dark, muscular.

495
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,000
They sit on top of branches of trees.

496
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Are there people who still believe in the story of the Capre?

497
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:01,000
Yes, people know that mango trees, balite, or banyan trees, where the Capre dwells.

498
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:06,000
They avoid these places because they are fearful of these beings.

499
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,000
We grabbed a four by four and followed the professor's advice to search the lands of the native Ida people.

500
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,000
This indigenous population lived on the edge of the jungle, 100 miles north of Manila.

501
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,000
Along the way, we couldn't help but notice the colorful assortment of watering holes.

502
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
A lot of reputable bars here, though, still.

503
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Eruptions. Must be about the volcano.

504
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
Oh, after school, probably a study place for the kids.

505
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,000
The drill shack. That must be a hardware store.

506
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Hey, Ryder, there's an opening over there for a massage therapist.

507
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
You have a pleasing personality.

508
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000
Not that pleasing.

509
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,000
I was also amazed to see a one-of-a-kind bar.

510
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Stargate. There's a sci-fi-themed strip club in this town.

511
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,000
But I was surprised when I couldn't get in.

512
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Yeah!

513
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Continuing north on the muddy, backcountry roads, we stopped to talk with a local who claimed to have recently seen the Capre.

514
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
So tell me what you saw.

515
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I saw the Capre walking.

516
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
He was walking the forest at night.

517
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,000
And there was this big shadow that suddenly fell in his path.

518
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,000
And he was very scared because he saw it was a Capre.

519
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
And what did the Capre look like?

520
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
I don't know. I don't know.

521
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:30,000
The creature was very big. It was dark. It was hairy and had a very distinct odor.

522
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:35,000
The eyewitness then directed me to another man who has also come face to face with the creature.

523
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,000
It was very late at night. He was coming home from work.

524
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
And on that road are abandoned buildings.

525
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,000
And about five to ten meters away, he looked at an acacia tree.

526
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
He saw a Capre sitting in it.

527
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:52,000
This thing that you saw, do you think it's a dangerous creature?

528
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,000
If there are other Capre that are scared.

529
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000
He believes that the Capre is very dangerous because it can run after people. It can attack people.

530
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,000
In some cases, it can even kill people.

531
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Both sightings occurred near Angeles City.

532
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:14,000
After the deadly eruption of the still active Pinatubo volcano in 91, the American base here was evacuated and the troops never returned.

533
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Today, relics of this bygone era are everywhere.

534
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,000
The item people have lived in the surrounding jungles for generations and could help me separate fact from fiction.

535
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
That is if I could exit the vehicle.

536
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:30,000
I literally can't get out of the car. The seatbelt will not release this time.

537
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
I guess I'm just going to have to be seeking the truth from here.

538
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,000
What was that? Did you guys hear that? Does anybody have any scissors?

539
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,000
No, we don't Josh. Sorry.

540
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Let's go lunch. Let's go get some lunch.

541
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
Okay, seriously, there could be somebody to get me out of this car.

542
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,000
I got it.

543
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Free from my nylon shackles, I was granted an audience with the tribe's leader and asked him to share his knowledge with me.

544
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:57,000
What is the Capre?

545
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,000
It's a big animal.

546
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Have you seen a Capre?

547
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Yes, I have seen it before.

548
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,000
You have?

549
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Yes.

550
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:03,000
And where have you seen it?

551
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,000
It's in the jungle.

552
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Are there many Capres or just one?

553
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Oh, so many, so many.

554
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And can you show me where the Capre is?

555
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Yes, I can show you.

556
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
You can?

557
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Yes.

558
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:15,000
In the jungle, you join us with the food and ceremony.

559
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
Of course, we would love to. Thank you very much.

560
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Thank you.

561
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:23,000
We took the chief up on his invitation and were treated to a full-on Aida dance party.

562
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
Before long, we joined in on the fun.

563
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
I can't even think some of these guys like you.

564
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
In the morning, we pressed on into the Aida land in pursuit of the Capre.

565
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
The chief told us that the recent sightings had taken place in the dense jungles,

566
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
as well as a canyon that cuts through the heart of his people's land.

567
00:29:55,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Ryder and I traded in our clunky SUV for a more stripped-down all-terrain vehicle.

568
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:03,000
Let's go!

569
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Whoo!

570
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Boys, your ride's smooth, doesn't she?

571
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Hang on!

572
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,000
Am I driving a pillow?

573
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
I mean, it is smooth!

574
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,000
While our chief chugged through the watery makeshift road,

575
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Dave and Richie made their own sweep via motorcycle.

576
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Josh, for Dave, any luck?

577
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,000
No, Josh, no luck over here. How are you guys doing?

578
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Yeah, we got nothing here so far.

579
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:33,000
We're just getting head in by these high walls.

580
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,000
It's like a flooded slot canyon in here.

581
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:37,000
No sign of anything.

582
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Let's get that thermal out and see if we can detect anything in here.

583
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Anything on thermal?

584
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
No, nothing yet.

585
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Stop, stop, stop, stop!

586
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
What do you got? What do you got?

587
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,000
I just picked up a heat signature.

588
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,000
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!

589
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,000
What do you got? What do you got?

590
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
I just picked up a heat signature right up there in the woods.

591
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:11,000
What do you see?

592
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:12,000
Right up here.

593
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Pretty large and steep.

594
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
Looks like it's screwed right up this hill right here.

595
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:20,000
I only saw it for a second. I didn't get much detail and went right up in here.

596
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000
That's basically just vertical.

597
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:25,000
There's no way we're getting up this thing. It just goes straight up.

598
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Having had a close encounter, we rendezvoused with the team in a nearby jungle clearing

599
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
and prepared to continue our search after dark.

600
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:43,000
We're on the lookout for something tall, 7 to 9 feet.

601
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,000
High witnesses say it's bipedal most of the time.

602
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
I mean that would make it a primate.

603
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
No large primates here in the Philippines.

604
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,000
And all the witnesses hussed out it's really hairy.

605
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,000
I think the villagers and anyone that's seen it has been so scared they just run away.

606
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
They're very superstitious people.

607
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,000
I just heard something there, didn't you?

608
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,000
Yeah, I definitely did. It was like rustling right over here.

609
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Let's get back in there and see what it is.

610
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Very carefully.

611
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Oh, I got something on thermal.

612
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,000
What is it?

613
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,000
What's a structure?

614
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,000
It's some of these old abandoned military buildings. Look at this.

615
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Oh, wow.

616
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,000
Check this out.

617
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Wasn't there a witness that said they saw the copyright by abandoned buildings in the jungle?

618
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000
Yeah, we've read a number of reports that say that they think this thing lives in these old buildings.

619
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Once Mount Pinatubo erupted, the whole thing was abandoned.

620
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,000
Look at this place.

621
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
There's nothing left in here, though.

622
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
These are just the shells of buildings.

623
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000
There's certainly no signs that any large animal is taking shelter in here.

624
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,000
Let's keep moving through them, though.

625
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,000
They say this thing is dark and tall and pretty scary,

626
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:07,000
but you see there's a lot of other things out here that I should be scared of, right?

627
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,000
Yeah, namely the spitting cobra.

628
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,000
I've read that it's known to kill some people within 30 seconds.

629
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:15,000
Most people will take within an hour you stop breathing.

630
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,000
Richie, sometimes you're really fun to hang out with.

631
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000
And sometimes you're total downer.

632
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Hey guys, do you smell that?

633
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,000
Oh yeah, it reeks.

634
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:27,000
It does reek.

635
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,000
It's like the most pungent stick-stale air right here.

636
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,000
It kind of smells like wet dog.

637
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
It does kind of smell like wet dog.

638
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
All right, well, we definitely know that the smell is a telltale sign, so...

639
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:47,000
I'm terrified that something's gonna jump out.

640
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Look at this. This is weird.

641
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:50,000
What do you say?

642
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:51,000
It's like a bed.

643
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Yeah, something big has been lying down over here in the reach.

644
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
Yeah, something big has been lying down right here.

645
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Yeah, it's definitely all...

646
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,000
It's all matted down.

647
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:02,000
You know, this could be some sort of a nest.

648
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:07,000
Shhh.

649
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:11,000
I hear footsteps.

650
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:12,000
I hear footsteps, too.

651
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
I hear footsteps, too.

652
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:14,000
Shhh.

653
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Something is right ahead of us, right through here.

654
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
I don't know if there's any other way around.

655
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,000
It's really...

656
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Oh my God, there's something right...

657
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,000
Come here.

658
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,000
I saw something.

659
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:26,000
There's something right there.

660
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:27,000
Look through my camera.

661
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:28,000
There's something right in here.

662
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
What do you see?

663
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Something was moving.

664
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,000
There is something back here.

665
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
Alright, let's try to chase it down there.

666
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Alright, let's go slowly because we make so much noise when we move.

667
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,000
I won't be able to hear it anymore.

668
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000
Here's that.

669
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Adam, you hear that?

670
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,000
Yeah, it sounded like it came from over there.

671
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:54,000
From that other building.

672
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
Oh, that just sounded like somebody bellowing.

673
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,000
Yeah.

674
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:58,000
Over this way, yeah.

675
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,000
Yeah, straight down there.

676
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,000
Alright, come on, let's get over there.

677
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Let's go.

678
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Oh, gosh.

679
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:09,000
Careful.

680
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Oh, it slopes down here.

681
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:12,000
Careful.

682
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Season residual trace of heat on the ground.

683
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Looks like something walked through here for sure.

684
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000
I have no idea where it took off to.

685
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,000
Let's keep looking.

686
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Come on.

687
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Guys, check this out.

688
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Look at this thing.

689
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Huge suspension bridge.

690
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
It spans the river.

691
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Wow.

692
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,000
It's old.

693
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Oh, look at the middle.

694
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
You see that?

695
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Oh, yeah, it's collapsed.

696
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,000
It fell into the river.

697
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,000
Totally buckled somehow.

698
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
I see it on the thermal.

699
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000
What do you have?

700
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,000
I definitely see an animal on the other side of this bridge.

701
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,000
I got a clear stay on the thermal.

702
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,000
It's just sitting there.

703
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
It must have scurried across ahead of us.

704
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Come on, let's get over this thing.

705
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,000
Oh, gosh.

706
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
It's starting to slope really bad.

707
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:07,000
I got a good look at the center section.

708
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,000
It's almost vertical.

709
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:12,000
Wow.

710
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Watch out.

711
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
Whoa.

712
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
God.

713
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,000
Try to stay against this vertical tension wire.

714
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,000
It's an off of that chicken wire.

715
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
You're not going to be able to walk on the floor boards

716
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000
for much longer.

717
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Careful.

718
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,000
Hang on to whatever you can.

719
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,000
A couple more feet.

720
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
We're almost on the river floor.

721
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,000
We've got an opening over here.

722
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,000
Jump out.

723
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:30,000
Oh, God.

724
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Get me away from that bridge.

725
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:33,000
You guys OK?

726
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Yep.

727
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,000
I'll figure out where that thing went.

728
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,000
You ready?

729
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,000
I'll wake up.

730
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,000
All right, come on.

731
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Huge tree.

732
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,000
They say this thing likes to hang out in your trees,

733
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,000
so keep your eyes open.

734
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:52,000
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

735
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Back up, back up.

736
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
David, do you see it in the astroscope?

737
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,000
Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up, back up, back up.

738
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,000
Yep, I saw that.

739
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,000
Whatever it is, it looks big.

740
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:07,000
It looks pissed off.

741
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:08,000
It's moving off.

742
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,000
It's going back into the woods.

743
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:11,000
OK, nice and slow.

744
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
We're going to follow it.

745
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Come on.

746
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,000
OK.

747
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,000
Good.

748
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,000
Good.

749
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Good.

750
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Good.

751
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Good.

752
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Good.

753
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Good.

754
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:22,000
Good.

755
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,000
Good.

756
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:24,000
Good.

757
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Good.

758
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:26,000
Come on.

759
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
OK.

760
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,000
Oh, wow, look at that.

761
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Let's see if we can make our way in.

762
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,000
I don't see any capering in this house.

763
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:59,000
It doesn't look like any sign of any animals burrowing in here.

764
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,000
Snake, snake, snake, snake.

765
00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,000
I'm out here.

766
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:03,000
I'm out here.

767
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Where?

768
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,000
Right over there.

769
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,000
Coming.

770
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
OK, up, up, up, up, up.

771
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,000
I can't let find in a snake house.

772
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,000
All right, well, let's press on.

773
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:22,000
All right, come on.

774
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Trail branch is off to the right.

775
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
That thing can't be far ahead of us.

776
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Oh, something in the tree.

777
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,000
There's something in the tree.

778
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Come here.

779
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,000
Get over here.

780
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Check this out.

781
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,000
Right up here in these branches.

782
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000
What did it look like?

783
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
Did you see a shape?

784
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,000
I just got a brief hit on the thermal, and it tucked itself right behind this tree.

785
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:49,000
It is not still in the tree.

786
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,000
I wouldn't see it.

787
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,000
It must have come down to the ground.

788
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:55,000
I don't see it over here.

789
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,000
You see anything?

790
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:57,000
No, no.

791
00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,000
I'm not seeing it this way.

792
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,000
It might have gone off down here.

793
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
It might have gone down here.

794
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,000
Whatever it was, it took off in a hurry, though.

795
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,000
Night of the Dawn.

796
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,000
We got a little weather setting in.

797
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
A lot of rain in our area.

798
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:11,000
How about you guys?

799
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,000
Yeah, we're starting to see a few drops down here as well.

800
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,000
Definitely try to see the shelter if you can,

801
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,000
and if not, at least bag up the electronics.

802
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Oh, it's about to dawn.

803
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,000
Yeah, I hear it coming down.

804
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,000
The rains arrived and brought a close to our investigation,

805
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,000
as we packed up our gear and hiked away from the flood-prone canyons.

806
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000
The next day, the team and I boarded a flight bound for Los Angeles,

807
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,000
and then sat down with naturalist Mike Deed,

808
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,000
and began with our thermal hit from the overnight investigation.

809
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Oh, something in the tree!

810
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,000
There's something in the tree!

811
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:42,000
Come here!

812
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000
Get over here!

813
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
It's obviously there's something there.

814
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
Philippine tarseers are something that come to mind their nocturnal.

815
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:53,000
It's probably one of the most unusual primates that one would ever hope to see.

816
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,000
And that may be what we're seeing here.

817
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,000
It's certainly a possibility.

818
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:58,000
That's what we're seeing here.

819
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Tarsiers are one of nature's oddest primates,

820
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
and while they can appear monstrous,

821
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:07,000
their diminutive size makes them an unlikely candidate to be mistaken for the copray.

822
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:12,000
We actually had a pretty close encounter with something that was inside the tall grass.

823
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Check this out.

824
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Back up, back up!

825
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:20,000
See that?

826
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:21,000
There's something moving back there.

827
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:22,000
You can see it move the bushes,

828
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:25,000
and then you see it actually on the thermal imager right here.

829
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
What do you think this could be?

830
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:32,000
Based on the height the grass is, it's probably a wild pig.

831
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Wild pigs are dangerous in their own right,

832
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,000
clocking in at up to 200 pounds with razor sharp tusks.

833
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:42,000
We may even have seen one's tail in the tall grass,

834
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
but again, too short to be a copray.

835
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:49,000
But what of the much larger animal we saw during our day sweep on the thermal imager?

836
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Could that also be ID'd?

837
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:54,000
Stop, stop, stop, stop!

838
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:55,000
What do you got, what do you got?

839
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,000
That large heat signature right up there in the woods!

840
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:58,000
See that up there?

841
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,000
Yeah.

842
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000
What do you think that is?

843
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:05,000
To me, in my opinion, it looks large like a 50, 60 pound animal,

844
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,000
and with it reaching out, it looks like the arm is reaching out.

845
00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:12,000
It does in some ways fit the description of what they're talking about.

846
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,000
It does look large, it looks sort of like a primate.

847
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000
It's intriguing that it could fit the eyewitness description,

848
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,000
but that animal is going to have to remain a mystery.

849
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:31,000
The jungles of the Philippines are spectacular, but they're also finite.

850
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:35,000
With air bases, active volcanoes, and traditional villages in the area,

851
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,000
it seems doubtful that something as massive as the copray could remain hidden forever.

852
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,000
For now though, there's still considerable room for wild animals.

853
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Oh, oh, oh, oh!

854
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Pack up, pack up!

855
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,000
And for something large that's retreating up into the hills.

856
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Stop, stop, stop, stop!

857
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:50,000
What do you got, what do you got?

858
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:55,000
What it is we can't say for sure, but very soon, it may just be forced to show itself.
