It really stunk. 35 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,320 And we began to hear screams. 36 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,320 Where a mysterious sound pierces the night. 37 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:11,320 Did you hear that? 38 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,320 Bill, did you hear that? 39 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,320 Yeah. 40 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,320 And tests the limits of their belief. 41 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,320 I definitely heard it.

Sasquatch. 45 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,320 And guess who the team leader is? 46 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,320 That's right.

Clearly I know he does not. 76 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:36,320 Dr. Farenbach. 77 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,320 Hi. 78 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,320 How are you? I'm Rob Mariano. 79 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,320 Hi. 80 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:47,320 We're off today meeting Dr. Henner Farenbach, who is an expert in several aspects of Bigfoot research. 81 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:55,320 Sashpots very often take little trees and twist them off. You can still see the hand imprint here and here. 82 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:01,320 The breakage pattern indicates that it was done by a twisting motion that it could not have been done by normal human strength. 83 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,320 In other words, it had to be done by Bigfoot strength. 84 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:14,320 People were tracking several tracks. They came to two of these twist-offs that were very fresh. They were still bleeding. Both of them had hair in it. 85 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:26,320 He had some hair samples that are supposed to come from a Sasquatch creature and he showed us under the microscope how there wasn't any hair coming from a known animal that looked exactly like the Sasquatch hairs. 86 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:30,320 What's the longest track that you've seen or that you've heard of? 87 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,320 18 miles. It's been tracked. 88 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,320 18 miles. 89 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,320 He showed us quite a bit of things. He showed us some casts, a footprint. 90 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,320 Let's start small. This is a baby Bigfoot. 91 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,320 Oh, come on. Now I've heard it all. Baby Bigfoot? 92 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:47,320 That's right. 93 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,320 If they live, they've got to have babies. What do you think? 94 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,320 What do you expect them? This is the size where they approximately start walking. 95 00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:09,320 I did find that the two largest footprints showed a morphological feature in the middle that is often called evidence of a metatarsal hinge, which indicates that this clearly is not a big human. 96 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:19,320 This is a 21-inch foot, so it's going to be, yes, right, roughly 10 feet. This is over 7 feet. 97 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:29,320 Let me tell you something. If there's anything out there walking around with that big a feet, then I'm in a lot of trouble and a lot of guys out there are. You know what I mean. 98 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:35,320 Doctor, how many times a year do you get reports of sightings, and have you ever actually seen Sasquatch yourself? 99 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:45,320 I haven't seen one personally. I've heard them numerous times. I got close enough once to smell it, and I found many footprints and trackways. 100 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,320 What do they smell and sound like? 101 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:58,320 The smell is very extremely nasty if you can think of a bum that has not washed for about half a year to stick your nose in a scratch. That's what it smells like. 102 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:08,320 That's a good visual. Apparently, Bigfoot smells like crotch. Not ass. He smells like crotch. And that's straight from Doctor F. 103 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320 You believe in this? 104 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,320 I'm still listening. I can tell you've just shut off completely. You're not interested in me getting in. 105 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,320 I'm listening, but it seems like a little much. That's all I'm saying. 106 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:25,320 Rob's whole attitude is he really likes to kind of make fun of the topics that seem strange to him. 107 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:31,320 I have a more humble assumption of you, which is that I don't feel like I know everything. You, however, think you know everything. 108 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:38,320 All I'm saying, Rich, is that this and this is not real. 109 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:45,320 I'm not the expert on everything. I just know more than Rich. And he's a little upset. What can I say? 110 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,320 Let's see the film. 111 00:07:47,320 --> 00:08:03,320 We also watched the two most credible films. The Memorial Day film of Bigfoot running across the field, and also the Patterson-Gimlin film from 1967. 112 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:14,320 It disappeared in the forest there, and they did actually follow the footprints in the forest and found that somewhere up in the forest it had stopped and sat down and watched them. 113 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,320 Look at the footprints. 114 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,320 Are there any other films, or is this the only one? 115 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,320 Well, there's this Memorial Day footage. 116 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,320 Well, let's see it. 117 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,320 You just went behind that spot right there. 118 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,320 Look. 119 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:28,320 I'm here. 120 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,320 You don't see him right there? 121 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,320 And the kid almost on here. 122 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,320 Let's just watch the video. 123 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,320 Come on. 124 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,320 Just making observations, Rich, and taking it all in. 125 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,320 Take it into yourself. 126 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:54,320 So I got this idea in my head that if I get a suit and do it up really good and with a little bit of help, I think I can make a better film. 127 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,320 And next year we'll be watching the Mariano film. 128 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,320 Coming up, Debbie gathers scientific evidence. 129 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:07,320 I like the fact that the scientific evidence behind the footprint cast with Dr. Meldrum is scientifically based. 130 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,320 And later, the team goes on the hunt for Bigfoot. 131 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,320 I had barely fallen asleep when I heard some kind of commotion. 132 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,320 Bill, did you hear that? 133 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:18,320 Yeah. 134 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,320 We're going to go on an expedition. 135 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,320 We have to see if Bigfoot is real. 136 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,320 So we hired Autumn Williams, who's an expedition specialist. 137 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:31,320 She's going to take us out into the field and hopefully we'll be able to track the big guy. 138 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,320 I got started doing this. 139 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:37,320 We lived in the foothills of Mount Rainier. 140 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,320 I was about three years old and we came around a corner. 141 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,320 And then I got a little bit of a shock. 142 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,320 I was like, I'm going to go on an expedition. 143 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,320 I'm going to go on an expedition. 144 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,320 I was about three years old and we came around a corner. 145 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:53,320 And as we did, there was an adult creature and a juvenile creature standing in the pathway. 146 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,320 It was amazing. 147 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:03,320 I mean, even as a three-year-old, I have memories of this thing's eyes and how intense the gaze was. 148 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,320 And so ever since then, I've been really fascinated by this subject. 149 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,320 And we're going to be looking for something that supposedly doesn't exist, 150 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:20,320 but that has scared very many people about, let's say, maybe 300 people a year we get reports from. 151 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,320 It's almost once a day, every day. 152 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,320 Wow. 153 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,320 This is a map of the general area. 154 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:34,320 We've got red for sightings, yellow for tracks, green is for smell reports or other types of reports, 155 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,320 like people having stuff thrown at them. 156 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,320 So as you can see, this area here has a lot of activity. 157 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:46,320 We're going to help her with some of the equipment that she uses and actually try and find Bigfoot ourselves. 158 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,320 This is a digital predator collar and this is something that we're going to be using. 159 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,320 It's programmed with 32 digital quality sounds. 160 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:59,320 There's wounded rabbits, that kind of thing, and wounded deer, which is an excellent tool for us. 161 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:00,320 Wow. 162 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,320 But what I've also done is I've customized this with purported Sasquatch recordings. 163 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,320 Wow, can we hear one? 164 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,320 Mm-hmm. 165 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,320 Wow. 166 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:30,320 When I heard the sounds, all I could think of was the people in Northern Oregon are doing some freaky things on their own time. 167 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,320 You guys have one more task tomorrow morning. 168 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:39,320 I need you to go to a butcher shop and pick up some beef liver. 169 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,320 Bait. 170 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,320 Rabbit meat. 171 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,320 You heard they like to eat the liver first. 172 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,320 And bacon. 173 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:50,320 Autumn told us that to bait the Sasquatch, we should put out raw meat. 174 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,320 So I'm thinking, all right, this is a carnivore that eats meat. 175 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,320 I'm made of meat. 176 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,320 I wasn't too sure how happy I was at that whole thought. 177 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:07,320 I really do hope that we have some kind of an encounter, because I would really like to see how they react. 178 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:12,320 Autumn seems like she really knows what she's doing, and she's going to leave this on a great expedition. 179 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,320 I think Autumn maybe saw something when she was a kid. 180 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,320 I don't know. 181 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:27,320 It was obviously real to her, but you know what, there are a lot of other people that have had so-called encounters and experiences, and I'd say we go try to talk to some of them. 182 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:33,320 The team decided that it was important to speak to some Bigfoot witnesses that have actually had encounters with Sasquatch himself. 183 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,320 But we also wanted to make sure we got a look at those casts, which I found to be very compelling evidence. 184 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:44,320 So I left the guys and went to see Dr. Jeff Melendrum, the foremost expert in scientific Bigfoot evidence. 185 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:53,320 I'm looking forward to using some of the forensic techniques I employ in my work as a crime scene technician in helping to solve this Bigfoot mystery. 186 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,320 Here's my lab where the cast collection is kept. 187 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,320 There's well over 150, there are 200 casts here assembled. 188 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:11,320 There'll be under some circumstances a footprint cast can actually pick up the fine skin-ridge detail of the foot. 189 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:22,320 And one of the ways that we can help to visualize this in the vein of crime scene investigation is to create a thin latex peel of the surface. 190 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:33,320 Well, humans and primates have friction-rich skin on our hands and feet, which means that we have lines going in patterns on our fingertips and on our hands. 191 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:40,320 What we're looking for is sort of a rough, really well-defined dermal ridge of the feet because they walk around barefoot. 192 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,320 There's actually evidence of healed scars. 193 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:50,320 And you can actually see it has some of the characteristics of human fingerprints, bifurcations, short ridges, ending ridges. 194 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:51,320 That's right. 195 00:13:51,320 --> 00:14:00,320 For someone to mimic a footprint, I don't think that they would really take the time out to learn about dermal-rich patterns of primates and insert them into the footprint. 196 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:10,320 I like the fact that the scientific evidence behind the footprint cast with Dr. Meldrum is really scientifically based. 197 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:16,320 So my two members and I have viewed the Patterson-Gimlin film, the famous film from 1967. 198 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:23,320 I'm wondering if you have an opinion, what makes that video so real and do you have any direct physical evidence from that case? 199 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:29,320 Well, I do. Right here, in fact, these are examples of footprints from that film side. 200 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:39,320 We can watch this film and see the foot of whatever this is, go through the precise motions that would be necessary to leave these types of footprints. 201 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:45,320 In other words, these are not just some simple artifice, some prosthetic foot. 202 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:54,320 I've left some of my doubt behind. My mind is now open. I'm going to take a better look at seeing if we can find some actual evidence. 203 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,320 Do you believe in Bigfoot? 204 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:04,320 Well, for me, it's not a question of belief. My position is based on the evidence as I encountered it and dealt with it. 205 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:10,320 And based on that evidence, I think that there's an extremely high probability that an animal does exist. 206 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,320 Coming up, the team hears eyewitness accounts. 207 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:20,320 I realized that wasn't a bear. It was something with a human footprint. 208 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:26,320 And later, Rob transforms into Bigfoot. But can he pull off his own hoax film? 209 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:39,320 We decided to find some witnesses because, look, if you're going to investigate Bigfoot, you have to talk to some people who say that they've seen him. 210 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:49,320 I spent five years as a bartender. And let me tell you, I've heard a lot of BS in my life, and I think my BS detector is pretty good. 211 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,320 How you doing? I'm Rob. 212 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:56,320 Hey, Rob. I'm Luke. So, Luke, tell us. We heard you saw Bigfoot. 213 00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:05,320 We saw something step into the center of the road. When it stepped into our headlights, it kind of turned towards me to where I could tell that it had two legs, broad shoulders. 214 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,320 He was at least 10 to 15 feet in front of us. 215 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,320 10 to 15 feet. 216 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,320 It's pretty close. 217 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:16,320 Now, Luke, you know I gotta ask you. You seem like a nice kid. Were you guys drinking this day? 218 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,320 No, we weren't. 219 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:19,320 No screwing around, no funny stuff. 220 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,320 Could have possibly been a bear. 221 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:30,320 No. But what I did see was the print. And that's when I realized that wasn't a bear. It was something with a human footprint. 222 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,320 I found Luke pretty much totally believable. I didn't sense that he was making this up. 223 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,320 The second witness was named Phil. He's a very concise gentleman. 224 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,320 Turned around and something, I don't know, about seven feet tall. 225 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:51,320 Took a step in the middle of the creek and across. And it smelled real musty. A musty smell to it. 226 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,320 What color did it look to be? 227 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,320 I'd have to say probably a two-tone brown. 228 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:02,320 Did you go inspect the area where you saw it? Like for footprints or to see any evidence of what had passed through there? 229 00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,320 No, I just got out of there. 230 00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,320 Did you stay? 231 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:11,320 It was big and fast and I wasn't planning on hanging around. I've been in the woods my whole life and I've never seen anything like it. 232 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,320 Now, I gotta tell you, he seemed pretty credible himself. 233 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:22,320 I can't really see a motivation these guys would have had from saying they saw a big foot. I mean, it's definitely not gonna get you a hot date. 234 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,320 Tomorrow morning, we're gonna stop right in early. First thing, we're gonna hit the butcher shop. 235 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,320 We're gonna get all of Bigfoot's favorite foods. See if we can tempt them. 236 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,320 Wow, we're talking. 237 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,320 We just take the room. 238 00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,320 This is my liver supply. 239 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,320 Yeah, that's probably a perfect amount. 240 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,320 This place has never been broken into by a Sasquatch? 241 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,320 Yeah, never know. 242 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,320 I think Autumn said three pounds.
