1
00:00:00,679 --> 00:00:07,676
A giant hairy creature, part ape, part man.

2
00:00:07,676 --> 00:00:09,675
Indians call him Sasquatch.

3
00:00:09,675 --> 00:00:14,673
They believe he is as gentle as he is powerful and mysterious.

4
00:00:14,673 --> 00:00:19,671
He's been seen many times in the rugged mountains and deep woods of the Pacific Northwest.

5
00:00:19,671 --> 00:00:23,670
The encounters have not always been peaceful.

6
00:00:23,670 --> 00:00:31,667
In 1924, a small group of men were working a mine in a canyon near Mount St. Helens in Washington.

7
00:00:31,667 --> 00:00:36,665
One night, the miners took their weapons inside and bolted the door.

8
00:00:36,665 --> 00:00:39,663
They thought they were secure for the evening.

9
00:00:39,663 --> 00:00:42,662
Outside, something strange was happening.

10
00:00:42,662 --> 00:00:44,661
The cabin was under attack.

11
00:00:44,661 --> 00:00:51,658
Folders rained on the roof and someone, or something, was trying to break in.

12
00:00:54,657 --> 00:01:02,654
The miners later described their attackers as large hairy apes.

13
00:01:02,654 --> 00:01:05,653
The siege lasted several hours.

14
00:01:24,645 --> 00:01:25,645
Right up there!

15
00:01:26,644 --> 00:01:27,644
All over there!

16
00:01:30,643 --> 00:01:33,642
The miners escaped injury that night.

17
00:01:33,642 --> 00:01:43,638
The area now known as Ape Canyon is one of the many places in the Northwest where man continues his hunt for this elusive creature we call Bigwood.

18
00:01:44,637 --> 00:01:57,632
To the Indians living along the Columbia River in Oregon and Washington, or those in Canada, there is no need for proof of Bigfoot.

19
00:01:57,632 --> 00:02:03,629
Sasquatch has been a part of Indian lore as long as they've inhabited this land.

20
00:02:03,629 --> 00:02:10,627
Some anthropologists believe that the creature could have come to the northwestern part of the United States along with the Indians.

21
00:02:10,627 --> 00:02:14,625
Across a land bridge that once connected Siberia to Alaska.

22
00:02:14,625 --> 00:02:22,622
The newcomers to this country have seen Bigfoot in an area ranging from Northern California to Southwest British Columbia.

23
00:02:22,622 --> 00:02:28,619
To the Indian, Bigfoot carries a mystical significance.

24
00:02:28,619 --> 00:02:33,617
Sometimes it's difficult to tell where myth ends and reality begins.

25
00:02:34,617 --> 00:02:40,615
In our modern world of concrete and steel, we're far removed from the Indian lore of Bigfoot.

26
00:02:40,615 --> 00:02:46,612
It's hard to imagine any corner of our crowded world where a giant man-like creature could roam free.

27
00:02:46,612 --> 00:02:54,609
Yet there's persuasive evidence that Bigfoot is real and that urban man may be close to his first meeting with this living legend.

28
00:02:55,609 --> 00:03:01,606
It is felt by some scientists that Bigfoot falls somewhere in this progressive chart of man.

29
00:03:01,606 --> 00:03:05,605
A giant hominid related to but not like modern man.

30
00:03:05,605 --> 00:03:12,602
According to this theory, Bigfoot would have pursued a course of evolution separate but parallel to his human cousins.

31
00:03:12,602 --> 00:03:17,600
Dr. Grover Krantz is an anthropologist at Washington State University.

32
00:03:18,599 --> 00:03:24,597
Its locomotion is the human design, so we know it's probably our closest living relative.

33
00:03:24,597 --> 00:03:30,594
But in terms of anything mental characteristics, no, it's not human.

34
00:03:30,594 --> 00:03:33,593
So it is a mixture of ape and human characteristics.

35
00:03:33,593 --> 00:03:36,592
And if you want to call that a missing link, that's fine.

36
00:03:36,592 --> 00:03:43,589
Now this is a cast of a jaw bone of something that I think is actually the Sasquatch.

37
00:03:44,589 --> 00:03:49,587
This is a jaw that's anatomically in between human and ape in its teeth.

38
00:03:49,587 --> 00:03:55,584
But it's much larger than any living ape. Much larger than a gorilla, for instance.

39
00:03:55,584 --> 00:04:02,582
These are known from fossils about a million years old in China and it has been named Gigantopithecus.

40
00:04:02,582 --> 00:04:06,580
And it has approximately the characteristics that our Sasquatch has.

41
00:04:06,580 --> 00:04:11,578
So I'm inclined to think that this species is simply continuing today.

42
00:04:11,578 --> 00:04:18,575
The most convincing visual evidence of Bigfoot is a film taken by Roger Patterson in Northern California.

43
00:04:18,575 --> 00:04:21,574
Dr. Krantz believes it to be authentic.

44
00:04:21,574 --> 00:04:27,572
I've examined the film many times, watching it forward, backward, stop frame, measured and everything.

45
00:04:27,572 --> 00:04:31,570
And all of the anatomy of the creature is perfectly consistent.

46
00:04:31,570 --> 00:04:34,569
It just simply does not fit with the man wearing a suit.

47
00:04:34,569 --> 00:04:38,567
In fact, a suit of that size, we can establish exactly how big it is.

48
00:04:38,567 --> 00:04:43,565
There's no way a man could fit into it. The shoulders and chest are simply too wide.

49
00:04:43,565 --> 00:04:48,563
The feet are properly designed for carrying that kind of body weight.

50
00:04:48,563 --> 00:04:53,561
And that doesn't make any sense unless you've got a body of that size.

51
00:04:53,561 --> 00:04:56,560
And Patterson could not have faked any of this stuff.

52
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:01,558
I talked to him about some of the things I saw and he didn't even understand what I was talking about.

53
00:05:01,558 --> 00:05:06,556
Reports of Bigfoot sightings in the Northwest go all the way back to 1811.

54
00:05:06,556 --> 00:05:09,555
There have been some in other parts of the United States,

55
00:05:09,555 --> 00:05:14,553
but most have come in the area from Northern California to British Columbia.

56
00:05:14,553 --> 00:05:24,549
In 1882, British Columbia newspaper published a story of railroad workers who saw and captured a creature they called Jackal.

57
00:05:24,549 --> 00:05:33,545
No one seems to know what happened to that creature, but the hunt for others has brought headlines all across the United States.

58
00:05:33,545 --> 00:05:37,543
There have been an estimated 2,000 reported sightings of Bigfoot.

59
00:05:37,543 --> 00:05:42,541
Half of those are considered fakes. The other half are very real,

60
00:05:42,541 --> 00:05:52,537
especially to those who live in this rugged country and who've seen with their very own eyes, seen something strange and sometimes frightening.

61
00:05:52,537 --> 00:06:01,534
I'd been down to my folks' and Cindy was with me and we decided it time to go home and so we laughed.

62
00:06:01,534 --> 00:06:07,531
Louis Allway and his daughter Cindy of Stephenson, Washington, returning home one night from visiting his parents,

63
00:06:07,531 --> 00:06:11,530
came across something they'd never seen before.

64
00:06:11,530 --> 00:06:19,526
It was about 10, 30, 11 o'clock at night and Cindy was sleeping on the floor, I mean on their seat.

65
00:06:19,526 --> 00:06:27,523
I come around the corner there and there it was. It looked to me like it had just come over the top of the guardrail there.

66
00:06:27,523 --> 00:06:33,521
I woke her up and she got to see it just before I ran to brush. At first I thought it wasn't better,

67
00:06:33,521 --> 00:06:38,519
but when it took off across the road on its hind legs I just couldn't believe it.

68
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:45,516
I hunt and I fish and I see a lot of game all the time and it looked like something I'd never saw before.

69
00:06:45,516 --> 00:06:54,512
Three or four years ago we received a call in the late part of the fall.

70
00:06:55,512 --> 00:07:03,509
People who own this cabin back here said they'd found some tracks of what they thought was a large animal.

71
00:07:03,509 --> 00:07:15,504
We came out and investigated that. Back here by the tree we found several tracks that were real large, way larger than a human.

72
00:07:15,504 --> 00:07:19,502
I sure wonder about it.

73
00:07:20,502 --> 00:07:26,499
Sheriff William Clausner of Scamania County in Washington has investigated tracks and talked with eyewitnesses.

74
00:07:26,499 --> 00:07:30,498
He's seen too much to be totally skeptical.

75
00:07:30,498 --> 00:07:37,495
The most unique thing about what we've learned from this is that the people who have either written or called,

76
00:07:37,495 --> 00:07:47,491
who have experienced the same kind of thing or had seen tracks mention of a strong sulfur smell and that's real unusual.

77
00:07:47,491 --> 00:07:51,489
As Sheriff Clausner says, the smell description is not unusual.

78
00:07:51,489 --> 00:07:57,487
James Strayhan and Harold Teske recently saw something on the roadside near Colton, Oregon.

79
00:07:57,487 --> 00:08:05,484
There was a big huge object on the left of the road and I rolled the window down in the car.

80
00:08:05,484 --> 00:08:14,480
This thing was approximately three to half, four feet wide, about six, seven foot tall.

81
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:23,477
The odor of this animal, after I rolled the window down, was so offensive that I couldn't remain there any longer.

82
00:08:23,477 --> 00:08:32,473
It was scared too. I've been around the mountains and around animals a lot and this thing truly scared me.

83
00:08:32,473 --> 00:08:39,470
So I got out of there and rolled the windows up and the car went on home.

84
00:08:40,470 --> 00:08:47,467
And the odor of that animal stayed in that car until the next morning. It was still in there.

85
00:08:49,466 --> 00:08:59,462
One mile outside the Dalles, Oregon, several members of the Bigfoot Investigation Project and Information Center climbed to an observation point.

86
00:08:59,462 --> 00:09:06,459
They're led by Peter Byrne, 50-year-old adventurer and former big-game hunter in Nepal.

87
00:09:06,459 --> 00:09:10,458
Byrne has dropped his rifle in favor of camera and binoculars.

88
00:09:10,458 --> 00:09:20,454
For five years, he's headed the Bigfoot Investigation Project and stocked these north woods, checking out every story and every set of tracks.

89
00:09:20,454 --> 00:09:23,452
His prey is elusive.

90
00:09:23,452 --> 00:09:32,449
We will talk to the person who says that they've seen one. We will talk to their family, perhaps to their employers or employees.

91
00:09:32,449 --> 00:09:38,446
We'll talk to the local police to see if they know them, to find out if the person is simply a joker, a hoaxer of some kind,

92
00:09:38,446 --> 00:09:43,444
or if they're a person of reputation and of known integrity.

93
00:09:43,444 --> 00:09:50,441
And then we'll go and see the person. We'll interview them and of course we'll try and get to the place of the actual sighting as quickly as possible.

94
00:09:50,441 --> 00:09:56,439
One of the most credible sightings took place near Mount Hood, Oregon in 1974.

95
00:09:56,439 --> 00:10:02,437
Two loggers, Jack Cochran and Furman Osborne, were working in an area of fallen timber.

96
00:10:02,437 --> 00:10:05,435
Cochran explains what he saw.

97
00:10:05,435 --> 00:10:15,431
I looked off towards the woods and I saw these two long legs moving at the edge of the timber.

98
00:10:15,431 --> 00:10:25,427
And as this thing walked, it walked with a glide and then it reached an arm out and kind of touched a tree as it walked by.

99
00:10:25,427 --> 00:10:31,425
And I saw these wide shoulders and then it just moved off down the hill.

100
00:10:31,425 --> 00:10:38,422
J.C. Rourke and I were up on that little hill there and we were sitting chokers and I came down to the land and he didn't come back.

101
00:10:38,422 --> 00:10:45,419
So we started to walk out in the woods on the timber so we could be in the shade.

102
00:10:45,419 --> 00:10:51,417
And we heard this commotion there in the brush and we saw this big monster going out through there.

103
00:10:51,417 --> 00:10:54,416
And I yelled for my buddy, I wanted him to see him.

104
00:10:54,416 --> 00:11:00,413
And I started running. I wanted to get a closer look at him and we chased him over the ridge.

105
00:11:00,413 --> 00:11:03,412
And at one time I was within 50 feet of him.

106
00:11:03,412 --> 00:11:07,410
Whatever Osborne chased through the woods left him far behind.

107
00:11:07,410 --> 00:11:11,409
Cochran, an amateur artist, tried to sketch what he saw.

108
00:11:11,409 --> 00:11:16,407
He was tall, long-legged and hairy.

109
00:11:16,407 --> 00:11:22,404
Very broad shoulders and his head seemed to just spring up out of his shoulders with no neck.

110
00:11:22,404 --> 00:11:27,402
The arms were long and more in proportion than a human.

111
00:11:27,402 --> 00:11:31,401
There is persuasive evidence that men may be closing in on Bigfoot.

112
00:11:31,401 --> 00:11:35,399
What will the hunters do if they find him?

113
00:11:35,399 --> 00:11:42,396
We just smooth it out a little bit, make sure it runs into all cracks and corners and that's really all there is to it.

114
00:11:42,396 --> 00:11:46,395
Peter Byrne, professional Bigfoot investigator.

115
00:11:46,395 --> 00:11:50,393
Hundreds of unexplained footprints have been found in these woods.

116
00:11:50,393 --> 00:11:53,392
They receive close examination by the experts.

117
00:11:53,392 --> 00:11:57,390
This is a plaster cast of an actual footprint here.

118
00:11:57,390 --> 00:12:01,389
And it's a 13 and a half inch cast.

119
00:12:01,389 --> 00:12:04,388
And it has a number of peculiarities.

120
00:12:04,388 --> 00:12:10,385
One is the normal belt behind the big toe, the halux, and then there's a second belt.

121
00:12:10,385 --> 00:12:14,384
And this is peculiar to all of the footprints that we have seen.

122
00:12:14,384 --> 00:12:17,382
Nobody really knows what causes the second belt.

123
00:12:17,382 --> 00:12:21,381
Perhaps it's a muscle of some kind to support the enormous weight.

124
00:12:21,381 --> 00:12:25,379
This is a cast of an individual that's very obviously crippled.

125
00:12:25,379 --> 00:12:31,377
And I studied this some length and found these two bulges on the outside of the foot.

126
00:12:31,377 --> 00:12:37,374
Anatomically, they have to correspond to a couple of gaps in the bones on the foot themselves.

127
00:12:37,374 --> 00:12:42,372
And the bulges in a normal human foot expanded to this size would have been here,

128
00:12:42,372 --> 00:12:44,371
but they're shifted forward.

129
00:12:44,371 --> 00:12:48,370
Well, anatomically, this means that the ankle weight is shifted somewhat forward.

130
00:12:48,370 --> 00:12:50,369
It's not just a gigantic human foot.

131
00:12:50,369 --> 00:12:53,368
It's the leverage that's been redesigned.

132
00:12:53,368 --> 00:12:59,365
And this happens to be redesigned just exactly the way it would have to be for a 800 pound animal.

133
00:12:59,365 --> 00:13:04,363
So if the idea that this was faked by somebody isn't quite so simple.

134
00:13:04,363 --> 00:13:09,361
If it was faked, it was done by a human anatomist who was a real genius

135
00:13:09,361 --> 00:13:13,360
and he had to have laid out thousands of these fakes all over the place.

136
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,359
And that just simply becomes impossible.

137
00:13:16,359 --> 00:13:23,356
Among the fakery that we have seen is a piece of film made in 1970 by a man in northern Washington.

138
00:13:23,356 --> 00:13:25,355
At first it looked very good.

139
00:13:25,355 --> 00:13:28,354
It was a man in a first suit, of course.

140
00:13:28,354 --> 00:13:32,352
The particular man tried to sell it to us for $25,000.

141
00:13:32,352 --> 00:13:37,350
And he told us that the creature in this movie was 8 foot 6 inches in height.

142
00:13:37,350 --> 00:13:40,349
But when we found the area, we were able to do our own measurements.

143
00:13:40,349 --> 00:13:43,348
And we saw that the creature in the first suit, or the man in the first suit,

144
00:13:43,348 --> 00:13:45,347
was a little under 6 feet in height.

145
00:13:45,347 --> 00:13:51,344
This is, I think, is a good example of the kind of fakery that we have encountered through the years.

146
00:13:51,344 --> 00:13:57,342
Throughout the Northwest, there are hundreds of men hunting for Bigfoot.

147
00:13:57,342 --> 00:14:03,340
Don Peterson, Jack Sullivan and James Hueskin have searched for several years.

148
00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:06,338
They believe the hunt will end with a bullet.

149
00:14:06,338 --> 00:14:10,337
Well, I think eventually somebody's going to bring one in.

150
00:14:10,337 --> 00:14:12,336
It's the only way.

151
00:14:14,335 --> 00:14:22,332
Pictures aren't going to be enough because there's been film taken of one of these creatures anyway.

152
00:14:22,332 --> 00:14:24,331
And it's a dispute.

153
00:14:24,331 --> 00:14:29,329
Like Jim said, if we take a bunch of pictures, they're going to be on a dispute.

154
00:14:29,329 --> 00:14:35,327
And if you can shoot one animal, you might be able to save the rest of them from everybody else from shooting them, too.

155
00:14:35,327 --> 00:14:38,326
And that sets up a conflict among Bigfoot hunters.

156
00:14:38,326 --> 00:14:42,324
Does it have to be killed to prove it exists?

157
00:14:45,323 --> 00:14:50,321
Through the centuries, the mighty Columbia River separating Washington and Oregon

158
00:14:50,321 --> 00:14:53,320
has cut a deep gorge on its way to the Pacific Ocean.

159
00:14:54,319 --> 00:14:59,317
It is a big, rugged, beautiful land where man holds a deep respect for nature.

160
00:14:59,317 --> 00:15:08,313
In Stevenson, Washington, they passed an ordinance setting a $10,000 fine or five years in jail for killing a Bigfoot.

161
00:15:08,313 --> 00:15:12,312
The people living in this country have a special relationship to the woods.

162
00:15:12,312 --> 00:15:15,311
They depend on the land for their survival.

163
00:15:15,311 --> 00:15:20,309
They may not totally believe in Bigfoot, but they believe in the possibility.

164
00:15:20,309 --> 00:15:24,307
And they don't want to kill, at least not in their county.

165
00:15:24,307 --> 00:15:27,306
District Attorney Robert Leake.

166
00:15:27,306 --> 00:15:32,304
We didn't feel that if there was such an animal that the animal had ever harmed anybody,

167
00:15:32,304 --> 00:15:36,302
or that it had done anything to deserve to be shot or captured.

168
00:15:36,302 --> 00:15:40,301
We need a piece of the body. Nothing else will be accepted.

169
00:15:40,301 --> 00:15:47,298
I think that there are many other ways of proving an existence of something other than killing that particular thing that you're trying to prove exists.

170
00:15:47,298 --> 00:15:51,296
My preference would be to locate a hunter who has shot and killed one,

171
00:15:51,296 --> 00:15:55,295
and perhaps because he thought he killed a valuable animal or a peculiar human,

172
00:15:55,295 --> 00:15:57,294
he might not have said anything about it.

173
00:15:57,294 --> 00:16:01,292
But if he would come forward, perhaps we could examine the place where he killed it,

174
00:16:01,292 --> 00:16:05,291
and we might find a few bones, and then the whole thing is settled right there.

175
00:16:05,291 --> 00:16:11,288
If we don't find such an old kill, then the only alternative remaining is to kill one now.

176
00:16:11,288 --> 00:16:16,286
And grizzly as that sounds, I think that is probably what we'll have to do.

177
00:16:16,286 --> 00:16:22,284
I would strongly urge the doctor to reconsider that,

178
00:16:22,284 --> 00:16:28,281
especially if he thinks he's going to do it in this county, because we would enforce the ordinance.

179
00:16:28,281 --> 00:16:32,280
Why add more controversy to something that's already controversial, though?

180
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:37,278
What we have to have is a specimen for scientific identification.

181
00:16:37,278 --> 00:16:41,276
I think it would be morally wrong. I see no reason.

182
00:16:41,276 --> 00:16:45,274
In fact, I talked to a small boy, a school boy recently, and he said some people say,

183
00:16:45,274 --> 00:16:47,274
shoot one to prove that they're there.

184
00:16:47,274 --> 00:16:51,272
And then he said, supposing the one they shoot is the last one.

185
00:16:51,272 --> 00:16:56,270
Well, my answer to that is, if they become extinct, so what?

186
00:16:56,270 --> 00:16:59,269
If they're not proven, it doesn't make any difference.

187
00:16:59,269 --> 00:17:03,267
We have a lot of animals that became extinct in the past, and there's nothing we can do about it.

188
00:17:03,267 --> 00:17:08,265
And if this animal remains unaccepted, who cares if it becomes extinct?

189
00:17:08,265 --> 00:17:11,264
They're obviously rare. There are not very many of them.

190
00:17:11,264 --> 00:17:14,263
And as we see them, they could be a hominid form.

191
00:17:14,263 --> 00:17:17,262
It could be a man. To shoot one would be totally wrong.

192
00:17:17,262 --> 00:17:21,260
And we are totally opposed to this philosophy.

193
00:17:21,260 --> 00:17:26,258
While men ponder the dilemma to kill or not to kill,

194
00:17:26,258 --> 00:17:32,255
many Indians wonder why this preoccupation with proving Bigfoot exists.

195
00:17:32,255 --> 00:17:34,255
To the Indian, there is no doubt.

196
00:17:34,255 --> 00:17:38,253
Many, like Mrs. Joe Washington, see the hunt for Bigfoot,

197
00:17:38,253 --> 00:17:42,251
just another intrusion into their sacred past.

198
00:17:42,251 --> 00:17:46,250
You'll never be able to, you might say,

199
00:17:46,250 --> 00:17:51,248
civilize them like the white men done to us.

200
00:17:51,248 --> 00:17:58,245
There's somebody that belongs in the area that he chooses to live in.

201
00:17:59,245 --> 00:18:02,243
And if someone did bring him down,

202
00:18:09,241 --> 00:18:14,239
he'd never adapt to your way or even mine,

203
00:18:14,239 --> 00:18:24,235
because his way of life is entirely different from ours, mine, and yours.

204
00:18:25,234 --> 00:18:31,232
And I always felt so bad when I hear of Sasquatch hunters

205
00:18:31,232 --> 00:18:35,230
that say they're going to photograph this man,

206
00:18:35,230 --> 00:18:39,229
or most of them refer to him as an animal.

207
00:18:39,229 --> 00:18:45,226
And from the stories and things that I was taught by my people,

208
00:18:45,226 --> 00:18:50,224
that he is not an animal, he's not a savage,

209
00:18:50,224 --> 00:18:55,222
he's a gentle being that just goes about his own way,

210
00:18:55,222 --> 00:19:03,219
collecting his own food, clothing, and lives where he chooses.

211
00:19:03,219 --> 00:19:08,217
The Man with His Ingenuity and Machinery

212
00:19:08,217 --> 00:19:14,214
Man with his ingenuity and machinery continues to stalk this creature,

213
00:19:14,214 --> 00:19:18,213
a creature described by the Indians as a gentle being,

214
00:19:18,213 --> 00:19:21,212
wanting to live in peace in his own habitat.

215
00:19:21,212 --> 00:19:26,210
A creature some scientists believe is a link to centuries-long past.

216
00:19:26,210 --> 00:19:29,208
The gorilla is mentioned in Greek mythology,

217
00:19:29,208 --> 00:19:31,208
going back hundreds and hundreds of years,

218
00:19:31,208 --> 00:19:34,206
and yet it was not discovered until the late 18th century.

219
00:19:34,206 --> 00:19:36,206
And the subspecies, the mountain gorilla,

220
00:19:36,206 --> 00:19:39,204
was not identified until the early 1900s.

221
00:19:39,204 --> 00:19:41,204
And there are other examples.

222
00:19:41,204 --> 00:19:46,202
The fossil fish that was discovered in the Indian Ocean only a few years ago

223
00:19:46,202 --> 00:19:49,200
believed to be extinct for 18 years.

224
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,199
And the fish that was discovered in the Indian Ocean

225
00:19:53,199 --> 00:19:57,197
only a few years ago believed to be extinct for 80 million years.

226
00:19:57,197 --> 00:20:02,195
This is the sealocans, and now it's known to still live off the coast of Africa.

227
00:20:02,195 --> 00:20:04,194
Is that the case with Bigfoot?

228
00:20:04,194 --> 00:20:08,193
Is this creature really a relative of the Gigantopithecus,

229
00:20:08,193 --> 00:20:12,191
a primate that lived over one million years ago in China?

230
00:20:12,191 --> 00:20:16,189
The land lends itself to hide such a creature.

231
00:20:16,189 --> 00:20:18,189
There is food for it to survive.

232
00:20:18,189 --> 00:20:20,188
It does not need man.

233
00:20:20,188 --> 00:20:24,186
But it may have to die at the hands of man to prove to him

234
00:20:24,186 --> 00:20:27,185
that there is such a thing called Bigfoot.

235
00:20:27,185 --> 00:20:30,184
If we assume that Bigfoot is real,

236
00:20:30,184 --> 00:20:34,182
and that men are closing in on this seemingly gentle monster,

237
00:20:34,182 --> 00:20:37,181
then we must prepare for that first meeting.

238
00:20:37,181 --> 00:20:39,180
To have eluded us for so long,

239
00:20:39,180 --> 00:20:42,179
Bigfoot must understand men very well.

240
00:20:42,179 --> 00:20:45,178
The burden will be on us to understand him.

241
00:20:45,178 --> 00:20:50,176
Bigfoot may well be waiting for some sign that we're ready.

242
00:20:54,174 --> 00:20:58,173
Up next, we're off in search of the real Dracula,

243
00:20:58,173 --> 00:21:01,171
which will take us to the Castle of Count Vlad in Romania.

244
00:21:01,171 --> 00:21:04,170
Then a chief mechanic goes on the rampage

245
00:21:04,170 --> 00:21:07,169
when he's offered a promotion in the Black Sheep Squadron.

246
00:21:07,169 --> 00:21:10,168
And tonight at eight, history undercover is opening the files

247
00:21:10,168 --> 00:21:13,167
on the top secret spy planes of the Cold War.

248
00:21:13,167 --> 00:21:16,165
It turns out there were over 10,000 intelligence missions

249
00:21:16,165 --> 00:21:20,164
flown over the USSR, Communist China, and North Korea.

250
00:21:20,164 --> 00:21:22,163
But stay tuned now for in search of,

251
00:21:22,163 --> 00:21:25,162
here on the History Channel, where the past comes alive.
