1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,000
I'm convinced there's something that's big that's alive.

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,800
This time on Unexplained Mysteries, the monster show.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,000
I witness accounts of bizarre encounters with unknown species.

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
And they definitely are primates of some kind.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
They are walking upright and they're moving fairly fast.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
I couldn't believe it because the animal was so big and it had several hams.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
With our case studies, we'll separate truth from myth in the search for the infamous Bigfoot.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,000
Bigfoot is serious.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:45,000
This is a real being, a real creature with spiritual powers that lives in wild places.

10
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:50,000
He looks so human. There's not a doubt in my mind that Sasquatch exists.

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000
And take a close look at mysterious sea creatures spotted all over the globe.

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
Then you can see it definitely had a neck and a head.

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And then all of a sudden, up out of this water, there's this big black thing.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
All of a sudden I sort of bend over a snake-like and dive into the water.

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,000
You'll hear from experts searching for the definitive answers.

16
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
It's like nothing I've ever heard before.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,000
The most compelling evidence in the tape is as simple as a head turn.

18
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
We'll show you the astonishing evidence.

19
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Broken branches here, pushed down the branches there.

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
So obviously something was out there.

21
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Remarkable video that's turning skeptics into believers.

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
I started as a disbeliever. I went right on past being a believer into a knower.

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,000
I started screaming in fear.

24
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Then the most shocking images to date of a living snow-walking beast.

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Yes, I think this is extremely compelling evidence in favor of the existence of the Yeti.

26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And we'll examine all the data to bring out the truth.

27
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
It's something which does exist because people want it to exist.

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
All this, and you'll get the final analysis in our next report.

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Here on Unexplained Mysteries, the monster show.

30
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Legends and myths about monsters have been told since the beginning of time.

31
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
From the murky waters of Loch Ness to the uninhabited forests of the Pacific Northwest,

32
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
sightings of unknown creatures have been widely reported.

33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
Accounts of animals like the giant squid have dominated recent news.

34
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:38,000
And reputable names like Jane Goodall are recognizing the possibility of new primate species we have yet to discover.

35
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
As the evidence mounts and the experts come forward,

36
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
it's difficult to dismiss these stories as fictitious rumors.

37
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Yeti, Sasquatch, Bigfoot.

38
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,000
It's known by many names, but the stories of its existence are strikingly similar.

39
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:03,000
A giant, human-like creature that lives in remote areas and avoids contact with the outside world.

40
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:11,000
For some, it is a tall tale passed through the generations, but to Native Americans, Bigfoot is no fantasy.

41
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,000
All these people had seen him.

42
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:23,000
Who had an accidental run-in with him, all got affected the same.

43
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,000
They went into shock.

44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Members of the Loomi tribe believe Bigfoot is a real being.

45
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Encounters have been retold throughout their history.

46
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Our old people like my grandmother tell us stories about Siatko, Samakwist.

47
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
People call him Sasquatch.

48
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:48,000
They tell us if we run across him, not to look into his eyes, because he can steal your spirit.

49
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
These are the legends the old people talk about.

50
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Modern Western culture jokes at Bigfoot.

51
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000
But in the Indian culture, Bigfoot is serious.

52
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:07,000
This is a real being, a real creature with spiritual powers that lives in wild places.

53
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
It's a guardian of sacred places, and it's not a joke at all.

54
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
I went to Duck Hutton in the evening about 6.15, 6.30.

55
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,000
And I looked up, and this thing got out of the ditch, and I froze.

56
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
And I got my knees started shaking, and that was Bigfoot.

57
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:31,000
After that, I sold my guns, and it never did go on again, you know?

58
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:37,000
It was at this time that the former police chief received a flood of Bigfoot calls.

59
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I answered so many calls on him that people were making fun, saying that we were seeing things,

60
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
and were smoking dope, that we were drinking or something.

61
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
There was no such thing.

62
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,000
And the more they taunted about it, the more I wanted to prove there was such a thing without killing him.

63
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
I did not want to kill this animal. I wanted to prove that he existed.

64
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,000
One night, he came face to face with the monster. Would he finally get his proof?

65
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
I received a parlor call at Amherst, Miss Residence, on Scott Road.

66
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:15,000
I was going north on Chief Martin Road, which is just off from the Scott Road.

67
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
I could hear this screaming. I could see this thing running right toward my car.

68
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
As it came into my bright light, I could see it was a sasquatch.

69
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
He had his mouth wide open, showing me all of his teeth.

70
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
He was coming at me in aggressive manner.

71
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:34,000
At this point, his police radio picked up a loud, pusing noise.

72
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
It's a very high pitched squealing, blood-curdling.

73
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Make your hair stand on edge screen.

74
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
Police headquarters was able to record what is said to be the call of a sasquatch.

75
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Who or what is responsible for this intense shriek?

76
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
The evidence was taken to a mammal expert to be analyzed.

77
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,000
I've heard it, and it's like nothing I've ever heard before.

78
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:18,000
It's a noise, but whether or not an actual creature made that noise, I can't determine that.

79
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:28,000
It doesn't sound like anything that I am familiar with, and I am certainly familiar with almost all the mammals that are in North America and their calls.

80
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000
Could this rare tape be proof that Bigfoot exists?

81
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
This looney-tribe elder has all the evidence he needs.

82
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
He's stared Bigfoot in the eye.

83
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
He looks so human.

84
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Their facial features are so much like our own.

85
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000
It's almost like you say, where did you come from?

86
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
What are you?

87
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I want to talk to you. I want to communicate.

88
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
There's not a doubt in my mind that sasquatch exists.

89
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Recently, more evidence has begun to surface.

90
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:11,000
An increasing number of photographs and footprints have led hundreds of people to conduct their own search for sasquatch.

91
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:21,000
In the Pacific Northwest, Peter Byrne heads the Bigfoot Research Project.

92
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,000
He and his team have dedicated themselves to finding the elusive beast.

93
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:29,000
One of the questions that arises is, when is one going to be found?

94
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
There's no answer to that.

95
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Today, a week from now, 10 years from now, nobody knows. There are no guarantees.

96
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,000
The miles of dens forest make it difficult to spot the ape-like creature.

97
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:45,000
It's not easy. It's a very tough task to find one of these things.

98
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000
I'm dealing with something which is shy and elusive, very wary of man,

99
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
which has an enormous area to live in and to hide in, and it's not going to be found easily.

100
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Byrne is given leads every day, and he's studied hundreds of pictures.

101
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
After years on the job, he easily picks out the fakes.

102
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:08,000
This is a fake footprint. It's very square. You can see the line of the turrets across the top here.

103
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
It's simply straight, which is wrong. It should be angled.

104
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:14,000
And then the sides are dead straight, and it's recognizable as a fake footprint,

105
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,000
probably made with a wooden mold or some kind.

106
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,000
But occasionally, Peter is witness to something he can't explain.

107
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:26,000
After getting a call, Byrne spots movement on a mountain in the distance.

108
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:31,000
They're clearly visible, and they definitely are primates of some kind.

109
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,000
They are walking upright, and they're moving fairly fast.

110
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:39,000
And the time we've been here, they've moved about 200 yards, maybe 250 yards.

111
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:43,000
There is no way to tell what Byrne is actually seeing on the mountain.

112
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
But recently, he received a tape where the evidence may be clearer.

113
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:52,000
It's from Northern California, and it's from late last year.

114
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:59,000
And the photographers say that in here, in the center of the picture there, just there.

115
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,000
The dark area?

116
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
The dark area. You can see something, and you can see something moving.

117
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Scott, Harriet, and Daryl Owen captured these incredible images.

118
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
Something seems to be lurking beyond the thick trees.

119
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
I can see him pointing at something after about 29 seconds.

120
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
He then lowered the camera, looked at me, and started crying.

121
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,000
I mean, he literally had a little minor break, started crying, and said, let's get out of here.

122
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,000
I was very scared at that point as well. We went down the hill.

123
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,000
I'm crying at this moment, so excuse my voice.

124
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,000
It's right here. You can see it. Okay.

125
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Computer analysis allows us to get a closer look at the tape.

126
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Right here would be the head in the arm down this way.

127
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
And let me rock back and forth here.

128
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:55,000
And as you can see, that it's something right there is moving while everything else in the picture stays static.

129
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Something is in this picture, but after viewing so many houses, Peter Byrne remained skeptical.

130
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
But he is confident he will find evidence that Bigfoot exists.

131
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
The way we're going with our project, which is a very sophisticated project,

132
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,000
I think we're the people who are going to find one, almost certainly.

133
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Coming up, more monsters on land and in the sea.

134
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:22,000
An eerie creature lives in a lake high in the andes of Argentina.

135
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000
I saw it, and it's a very big animal.

136
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:32,000
A sea serpent in the waters of Lake Champlain caught on tape.

137
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,000
We took the camcorder out and then, in fact, champed.

138
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Or several champs were back again.

139
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,000
And all of a sudden, up out of this water came this big black thing.

140
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,000
I mean, it was huge, black and shiny.

141
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,000
He swings his neck around and lifts his tail up and lifts his neck and head out of the water entirely.

142
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
Something is lurking in the forests of Northern California.

143
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
More human-like than anything, than any animal.

144
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,000
It's a scare, so I've probably been in my life.

145
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
That thing was big, big.

146
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000
And a remarkable film that made me proof of the existence of Bigfoot.

147
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000
When we came upon the creature, it immediately turned around and started to walk away.

148
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000
I'm satisfied that there is no possibility that could be a man in a first suit.

149
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,000
Finally, amazing footage of what could be a new species.

150
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
That and the ultimate one guy, not an extra word.

151
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Coming up on Unexplained Mysteries.

152
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,000
The Monster Show

153
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Unexplained Mysteries. The Monster Show.

154
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Photographs, eye-witness accounts, films and video. The evidence is growing.

155
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Many unknown creatures stalk the planet.

156
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:54,000
The largest and most terrifying are being spotted in large bodies of water.

157
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
These are sea monsters.

158
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:04,000
My friend shouted because an animal appeared suddenly in the lake.

159
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:10,000
The animal was so big and it had several hams.

160
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:15,000
I felt a little afraid because we were near the animal.

161
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Lake Noah will be high in the Andes Mountains.

162
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
This is home to Argentina's own prehistoric lake monster, Nahuatlito.

163
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:38,000
Some people think that Nahuatlito seems like a dinosaur because of the size of the animal.

164
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:44,000
With hams, like a whale. It was big. It was very big.

165
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Different phenomenon have been seen, some of which can be explained.

166
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
But there is testimony by others of having seen a neck and a head.

167
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And that is more difficult.

168
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:09,000
There are similarities and features between Nahuatlito and those of the aquatic dinosaur, Plesiosaurus.

169
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:15,000
Plesiosaurus was a rather big animal, maybe 5 to 10 meter long,

170
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:22,000
that lived in shallow seawaters not far from the coast.

171
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:29,000
The problem is that the Plesiosaurus became extinct some 65 million years ago.

172
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Then it's impossible to find Plesiosaurus at present.

173
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Could Nahuatlito be a new undiscovered species?

174
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Eyewitness accounts dating back to the 1920s would suggest otherwise.

175
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000
There was always talk about marine monsters, things which rose from the water.

176
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:57,000
They were attracted to these lakes due to the mystery of the things which one speaks about here.

177
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
And the sightings continue to this day.

178
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,000
The lake was like a mirror and we saw a mark that was forming.

179
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
And what called our attention to it was that there were no vessels causing it.

180
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,000
One cannot ignore the voice of the locals. There are fishermen who have seen it.

181
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:22,000
I don't know whether it is a Plesiosaurus or whatever you may call it, but there must be something.

182
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Some people believe me, but there were a lot of people who told me that I was inventing stories.

183
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000
But now I saw it and it's a very big animal.

184
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
So what exactly is this and where does it come from?

185
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:53,000
The truth is that nature is indeed very strange and very different things may be observed everywhere.

186
00:14:53,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Sightings of other sea monsters are on the rise. These experiences are changing people's lives.

187
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
I started as a disbeliever. I went right on past being a believer into a knower.

188
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Lake Champlain. This tranquil setting does little to warn the unsuspecting of the sea serpent that lives just below its surface.

189
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Probably 99% of the people have seen it, but they won't talk about it because you do get some ridicule.

190
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000
This creature is Champ. A rash of shocking photos and eyewitness accounts have forced the monster out into the open.

191
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000
We're out on the boat just taking an evening sail and we began to see some very strange things going on.

192
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:46,000
You could see underneath the water it was huge black matter. It was just a monster.

193
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:52,000
You could see it had a definite body, shape to a body. Then you could see it definitely had a neck and a head.

194
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Then all of a sudden up out of this water came this big black thing. I mean it was huge, black and shiny.

195
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Up came the neck and the head literally like my hand is doing. It turned and it looked at me and it turned and it went right back down to the water.

196
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,000
We took the camcorder out and then in fact Champ or several Champs were back again.

197
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:22,000
I started screaming in fear. I found myself climbing on the canvas top of my boat which I noticed and hold me. That's how scared I was.

198
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:31,000
You can see one of its humps sticking up out of the water. There's two. Two in the middle is four. One of the left out front is five in a row.

199
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:39,000
And now what we spot out there is some fins or flippers and you can see them flipping back and forth on the water.

200
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:46,000
You see a creature with a long neck floating across the water that starts thrashing in the water.

201
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,000
He swings his neck around and lifts his tail up. He swings his entire body around and lifts his neck and head out of the water entirely.

202
00:16:53,000 --> 00:17:02,000
It was moving deliberately and all of a sudden I saw it bend over, snake like and dive into the water.

203
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Champ has become the subject of a scientific controversy. Few people agree on exactly what Champ is.

204
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,000
A lot of people believe that there is one wretched creature that's been in the lake for a millennia and that's really absurd.

205
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:22,000
The most popular theory is that Champ, like Naulito, is a plesiosaur.

206
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:30,000
There's no geological evidence that the plesiosaur or anything like that survived beyond the Cretaceous extinction 60 million years ago.

207
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:40,000
On the other hand, the Seelacanth was only discovered in the late 1930s at Fish and that had been extinct also for over 60 million years.

208
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:48,000
But if Champ is a dinosaur, how could it have survived extinction when so many other creatures from that time could not?

209
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,000
Crocodiles survived and they can get up to 20 feet or more.

210
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:58,000
They're deep glacial lakes that were at one time arms of the sea.

211
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:06,000
So one could say there were marine animals living in these open lakes and as the land growers they could have been sort of isolated.

212
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,000
There may be all kinds of things there that we don't know about.

213
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:16,000
The thing about it is I think you have to keep an open mind and see what else comes up.

214
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Whatever its origin, it is more than just local lore to the many people who have seen it.

215
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:28,000
We are already convinced that they are real. There are some very big specimens seen in the lake.

216
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:35,000
Next on Unexplained Mysteries, the most controversial piece of evidence in the Bigfoot debate.

217
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,000
This creature was standing beside the creek.

218
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
I'm scared as I've probably been in my life.

219
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,000
But experts question its authenticity.

220
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Real Bigfoot specimens would move as a gorilla with their entire torso and their head moved similarly.

221
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:53,000
Then the Loch Ness Monster exposed.

222
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
It was a large dark hump, possibly about 8 to 10 feet long.

223
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,000
It looked black against the water, you know.

224
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
And the ongoing debate about the evidence.

225
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:11,000
There have been widely publicized allegations that the object in the photograph was a modified pig suddenly.

226
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Exclusive footage of a mountain creature found.

227
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:22,000
The fact that we can demonstrate the large size of proportions greatly diminishes the likelihood of a hoax.

228
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:29,000
Then we'll put it all together for you in our Unex Report on Unexplained Mysteries.

229
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Here are extraordinary stories of people saved by angels.

230
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
A mysterious hand pulls a man out of a burning plane.

231
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
It was translucent white-ish goldish.

232
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,000
And what really saved an entire school from a suicide bomber?

233
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
She told me, mommy the angels saved us.

234
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
On the next Unexplained Mysteries, the signs are everywhere.

235
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Unexplained Mysteries, the monster show.

236
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000
Since the first reported sightings of Bigfoot, thousands of eyewitnesses have come forward.

237
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:16,000
What I saw was a about a 6 and a half, 7 foot creature. Bigfoot.

238
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Biggest thing is size and its movement. More human-like than anything, than any animal.

239
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000
I didn't really get a good look at him. He's running so fast. There's no human to run that fast.

240
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Some have gotten closer than they ever expected.

241
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
We got out of the car and the dog started raising the hill and just barking and sniffing and carrying on.

242
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
So I just looked around and I thought, well, you know, maybe there's something here.

243
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:48,000
I looked up here and saw three Bigfoot standing there.

244
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Researchers continually discover clues that prevent the search from coming to an end.

245
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Places where things have been broken off as you can see through here.

246
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Not only that, but below it, there is a path.

247
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Here is a branch which has been knocked off and walked over many times.

248
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:13,000
Broken branches here, pushed down branches there. Something has obviously come through here regularly.

249
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Experts have collected evidence from around the world.

250
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:24,000
It's a 14-and-a-half-inch track. It shows what we call dermal ridges, the little fingerprint-type ridges.

251
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:29,000
These have been studied by police fingerprint experts and no one's found any flaw in any of them.

252
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000
But one encounter is the catalyst of the Bigfoot phenomenon.

253
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:46,000
It's appearance was just a large, large humanoid creature walking like a human being.

254
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:54,000
1967, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were horseback riding through the forests of Bluff Creek, California.

255
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Patterson was carrying a 16-millimeter camera in his saddlebag.

256
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:05,000
We came around a bend in the creek where there was a downfall tree.

257
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,000
At that point, as we came around the bend and the creek there, this creature was standing beside the creek.

258
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
This being was unlike anything they had ever seen before.

259
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Had Patterson and Gimlin stumbled upon an unknown primate?

260
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,000
When we came upon the creature, it was standing still by the creek.

261
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
It immediately turned around and started to walk away.

262
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Patterson was thrown off of his startled horse, but was able to get on his feet and grab his camera.

263
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:43,000
Roger Patterson turned on his movie camera, ran after it as far as he could, and finally he stopped and walked away.

264
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:50,000
What followed was 58 seconds of a strange being covered in hair walking into the forest.

265
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,000
This film would become the most compelling evidence and create a worldwide controversy.

266
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:06,000
Many claim Patterson and Gimlin were just part of a well-orchestrated scam, but Bob Gimlin is sticking to his story.

267
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:14,000
There is no way that this could ever be falsified or any man could be in a suit because of the movement of the muscle underneath the hair.

268
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:20,000
I've gone through the whole film and reconstructed everything, the exact body movements and everything you can.

269
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,000
I'm satisfied that there is no possibility that could be a man in a fur suit. There's just no way around it.

270
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Experts claim that the proof is positively clear and that the movement of the monster reveals the truth about Bigfoot.

271
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:39,000
The most compelling evidence in the tape is as simple as a head turn.

272
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:53,000
In hoaxes you see an animal that maybe someone in a suit move with their head and their neck, and real Bigfoot specimens would move as a gorilla with their entire torso, and their head would move similarly.

273
00:23:53,000 --> 00:24:05,000
The typical ape posture as the shoulders carried very high and the mouth and the jaw is lower than the shoulder, so if an ape wants to turn its head, its jaw runs into its shoulder.

274
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000
The creature that Patterson watched turned its head and then the shoulder went with it in what you would expect with an ape.

275
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
The Patterson film has become a reference for hundreds of supposed Bigfoot sightings.

276
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,000
Most recently, a tape from the forests of Washington state.

277
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,000
Could this be yet another Sasquatch captured on tape? The images make a strong case for its validity.

278
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:43,000
The Patterson footage you can see that the animal is walking straight forward, but then when he turns to see the cameraman, his entire body, his torso and all, moves up and to the right.

279
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:56,000
Here in the most recent Washington footage, you've got the animal crouched into clearing here, and then as it starts to look towards the camera person, his entire torso comes up and to the left.

280
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:01,000
This whole body, not just the neck, but up and to the left, very similar to the Patterson footage.

281
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:16,000
There are many theories on the Patterson film. Some say that Hollywood special effects artists were responsible for the prank, but to this day, no hard evidence has been found to challenge the film's authenticity.

282
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:22,000
And with eyewitness accounts increasing, it's hard to brush it aside as a hoax.

283
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:30,000
That's the scariest I've probably been in my life to be that close to something and not see it and feel it.

284
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:37,000
And the way it was breathing up here, that thing was big, big. It had to be big, but there was no other answer.

285
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Mixed on unexplained mysteries, the Loch Ness Monster lives. Eyewitnesses recount terrifying encounters with the elusive beast.

286
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
It was black. You could see the water running off its back as it came out.

287
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:59,000
That's big. That's moving. That's alive. And it came straight towards me very fast.

288
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Science weighs in on the mystery.

289
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Sonar was one area in which it seemed like it could get reproducible unusual results.

290
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Two targets came up on the screen. The second target was quite large.

291
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
And a new piece of evidence may change the minds of disbelievers.

292
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:22,000
But a lot of people don't realize that the familiar Nessie image is only cropped close up.

293
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,000
Also, the exclusive tape of a snow-walking ape-like creature.

294
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:32,000
It's a large primate that has no business being there. And that's what makes it very interesting.

295
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:40,000
Finally, we'll reopen the case files in our UnX report, here on Unexplained Mysteries.

296
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:47,000
Unxplained Mysteries, the Monster Show.

297
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:53,000
I'm convinced there's something. What is it? I don't know. But there's something definite in the lock.

298
00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:02,000
Loch Ness, this lake in the Scottish Highlands is one mile wide, 23 miles long, and over 900 feet deep.

299
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:10,000
But what lurks in its depths is what makes this lake famous.

300
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Suddenly, I saw this colossal great hump, about 60 or 70 feet long. It looked black against the water, you know, and it was going fast against the wind.

301
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:27,000
All I can say is that I saw a very large creature, living creature, for sure.

302
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:30,000
That's big. That's moving. That's alive.

303
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:38,000
These terrifying reports are nothing new. Nessie is legendary among lake monsters. But is it real?

304
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:48,000
Nessie's story began in 1934, with a single piece of evidence.

305
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:59,000
On the morning of April 19, 1934, Lieutenant Colonel Arkenith Wilson, who was also a practicing physician, claimed to have stopped his car along one of the shores of this immense lake, Loch Ness.

306
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:08,000
And seen a disturbance in the water, made some exposures of plates, and one of the results was, of course, the most famous of all Nessie images.

307
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:16,000
The photograph, which came to be known as the surgeon's photograph, cemented the image of the Loch Ness monster in the public's mind.

308
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:24,000
People have pinned their faith on that photograph. They believe in Nessie because of that photograph, which is a very dangerous thing to do.

309
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Recently, there have been widely publicized allegations that Colonel Wilson was actually part of a conspiracy, and that the object in the photograph is a modified toy submarine, which has a plastic neck on it.

310
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:44,000
And these sensational claims were made by a man by the name of Christian Spurling.

311
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Could the world's most famous photograph of the Loch Ness monster be a fake?

312
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Richard Smith thinks he has evidence that could prove the photo is real.

313
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:02,000
The major claim is made that this alleged toy submarine with the neck on it was floated in a small bay.

314
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:10,000
What a lot of people don't realize is that the familiar Nessie image is only a cropped close-up taken from the original picture.

315
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:21,000
The original picture clearly shows a wide central expanse of this immense lake, with the opposite shoreline clearly visible. It's not a small bay.

316
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,000
A second, rarely seen photograph shot by the surgeon reveals something else.

317
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:38,000
It's very important because the head and neck in this picture are now rather straightened out, and this shows that this object, whatever it is, is not made of unbending plastic wood.

318
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Some researchers are now rethinking their image of Nessie. They are concentrating on the consistencies among eyewitness accounts.

319
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
There was no head and neck showing then. There was just this great hump.

320
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:56,000
And then this huge hump came out of the water. It was a large, dark hump, possibly about 8 to 10 feet long.

321
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:04,000
The surgeon's photograph got rid of a lot of dead wood, got rid of a wild card. There's never been a sighting like that since.

322
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:13,000
And before, for that matter, the head and the neck doesn't exist. So now we can concentrate on what we feel are the right sightings, the humpback.

323
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
This is what's come forward so many times.

324
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Technologies like radar and sonar may help to unlock the mysteries within the lake.

325
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Classic photographs have already been dismissed. The underwater pictures were controversial.

326
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:38,000
Sonar was the one area in which it seemed that you could get reproducible unusual results.

327
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:43,000
Now, with the help of submarines, there is promising new data.

328
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:49,000
Two targets came up on the screen. One, obviously, the submarine, hard target, a depth of about 450 feet.

329
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:55,000
The second target was quite large. We did nothing that we didn't normally do. So obviously something was out there.

330
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The most compelling evidence so far comes from the people who have been face to face with the mythic beast.

331
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
There was a large body clearly in the middle of these flippers. There was a kind of a sort of vortex effect following it.

332
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:21,000
It was like a whale. It was black. You could see the water running off its back as it came out.

333
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:32,000
It was a large, dark hump, possibly about 8 to 10 feet long, about 4 feet out of water.

334
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:40,000
It was dark in colour and there was no head or neck. Then proceeded to about, within about 250 yards from the shore.

335
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:47,000
The other point, it just sank completely out of sight. And basically, I was shocked, rigid, totally shocked.

336
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:53,000
All I can say is that I saw a very large creature, living creature, for sure.

337
00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Certainly not a boatwake, certainly not a log, certainly not an otter, certainly not birds or anything else that I've ever seen here.

338
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000
All the testimony and research leads to one question. What exactly is the Loch Ness Monster?

339
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:15,000
Everybody has theories. I think if everybody who's ever put forward a theory on the identity of the Loch Ness Monster actually had put in a thousand hours watching, there wouldn't be a mystery.

340
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:20,000
The Loch Ness Monster lives in people's minds and cannot be dislodged from there.

341
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:25,000
It doesn't matter how many photographs it is proved, it doesn't matter what the scientific implications are.

342
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:32,000
The Loch Ness Monster is something which does exist and will always exist because people want it to exist.

343
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Although it appears to have great bulk, it appears to be very natural.

344
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
The experts give it a thorough analysis.

345
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,000
We're talking here about an individual that is somewhere between 8 and 10 feet high.

346
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
I can tell that it's a climate, a large climate, that has no business being there.

347
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
And we'll examine all the possibilities.

348
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:05,000
The explanation has been offered that sightings of the Yeti are in fact sightings of monks.

349
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Stay tuned for our next report. We'll be examining the evidence and get to the truth about monsters.

350
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
On Unexplained Mysteries.

351
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,000
Unexplained Mysteries, The Monster Show.

352
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:31,000
The fascination with these strange elusive primates is as popular as ever.

353
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:36,000
Recent news articles continue to examine the ongoing controversy.

354
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:43,000
Throughout his life, a Northern California road builder made important claims about the transitory beast.

355
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:49,000
On his deathbed in late 2002, however, he revealed that it was all an elaborate hoax.

356
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,000
But many scientists disagree. How do we account for all of the other eyewitness testimony and growing evidence?

357
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Now, new exclusive videotape of what could be the Himalayan Yeti may put an end to the controversy.

358
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:19,000
Coming down a mountain, two hikers get a startling glimpse of what appears to be a large, hairy creature trudging through the thick snow.

359
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:23,000
The next angle shows the most compelling images on the tape.

360
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,000
The snow walker appears to be climbing up the icy mountain.

361
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
Who or what did the hikers capture on camera?

362
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Jeff Mildrum, a primate anatomy expert from Idaho State University, analyzed the tape.

363
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,000
One of the things that I'm immediately impressed by is just the massiveness of it.

364
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:45,000
But yet, although it appears to have great bulk, it appears to be very natural.

365
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,000
It doesn't appear to be like a padded costume.

366
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,000
With careful examination, Mildrum is able to determine details about the creature.

367
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:05,000
The only reference for scale that we have in this image is the trackway left by the mountaineers using a conservative estimate, say, of 16 inches width on that trail.

368
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,000
We can then estimate the limb proportions and dimensions of the creature on this video.

369
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:17,000
Based on that, we're talking here about an individual that is somewhere between 8 and 10 feet high.

370
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:28,000
The fact that we can demonstrate the large size and proportions greatly diminishes the likelihood of a hoax, because it makes it that much more difficult to contrive a costume.

371
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Crypto-soilogist Richard Greenwell is constantly searching for new, unknown species.

372
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,000
He examined the tape thoroughly.

373
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:44,000
I can tell that it's a primate. It's a large primate that has no business being there. But it is there.

374
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:50,000
And that's what makes it very interesting and potentially a great scientific discovery.

375
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:54,000
The controversy continues. Could the answer be much simpler?

376
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:05,000
There's some accounts of a practice among Tibetan monks, which is the ability to generate and project great heat from within the body.

377
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:14,000
And this would allow someone, an adept of this practice, to survive, obviously, in the wintery cold of the Himalayas.

378
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,000
But Meldrum has a different theory.

379
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:30,000
The term abominable snowman is a real misnomer, because if this creature exists, it doesn't inhabit the snow fields of the high elevations, but instead would occupy the temperate valleys in between the mountain ranges.

380
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
And its tracks are simply seen as it goes from valley to valley.

381
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,000
Another investigation shows that the animal may be exhibiting signs of intelligence.

382
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
The scene where the creature seems to be just sort of sitting there, in fact, at first glance it looks like a rock.

383
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:56,000
It appears to be looking at the trail. Apes are naturally very inquisitive. It may not have felt threat from this pair.

384
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:03,000
And so its curiosity won over its fear. And it was simply investigating.

385
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:10,000
Is what we're seeing actually the mysterious Yeti? There is no way to tell, but nothing can be ruled out.

386
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:20,000
Assessing it purely on face value of what we see, yes, I think this is extremely compelling evidence in favor of the existence of the Yeti or something akin to that.

387
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:28,000
Maybe the Yeti doesn't exist, but there may be a creature roaming around the Himalayas that sure looks a lot like it.

388
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:38,000
This tape alone does not give the definitive answer, but it may bring us closer to discovering the truth and putting an end to one of the greatest mysteries of our time.

389
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:53,000
Everything about this video just strikes me as very natural, very unorchestrated and just a very simple encounter with a very elusive, very shy creature.

390
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:10,000
Next, the Unex Report. We'll revisit the evidence and answer the questions about monsters. Do these creatures really exist? What are all these people describing? How credible is their proof?

391
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:18,000
Are these beasts deliberately avoiding human contact? And are there species we have yet to discover?

392
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:25,000
We'll sum it all up in our Unex Report on Unexplained Mysteries.

393
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:52,000
And now for the Unex Report.

394
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:16,000
Monsters are the stuff of myths, fables and legends. But growing testimony and hard evidence is proving they do exist. They are stalking the planet.

395
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:23,000
I started as a disbeliever. I went right on past being a believer into a knower.

396
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:30,000
They have different habitats and different names. I witnessed descriptions of them are shockingly similar.

397
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
We were able to see a physical form of very black color, very dark.

398
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,000
I mean, it was huge, black and shiny.

399
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:42,000
It was colossal great hum. It looked black against the water.

400
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:46,000
What I saw was a about a six and a half, seven foot creature.

401
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:51,000
A large, large humanoid creature walking like a human being.

402
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
I can tell that it's a primate. It's a large primate.

403
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,000
There are stories of menacing upright creatures that have existed in native lore for centuries.

404
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:07,000
If we run across him, not to look into his eyes, because he can steal your spirit.

405
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:13,000
In the Pacific Northwest, there is evidence of a seven foot walking monster.

406
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:20,000
Broken branches here, pushed down branches there. Something has obviously come through here.

407
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:27,000
I'm crying at this moment, so excuse my voice. It's right here. You can see it.

408
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
I froze. I got my knees start shaking and that was bigfoot.

409
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,000
A docile yeti is captured on video, wandering at high elevations.

410
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,000
And ominous lake monsters are startling witnesses above and below the equator.

411
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:51,000
My friend shouted because an animal appeared. I felt a little afraid.

412
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,000
I started screaming in fear. I found myself climbing on the canvas top of my boat.

413
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:03,000
But no sea creature is more puzzling than the eerie figure known as the Loch Ness Monster.

414
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,000
That's big. That's moving. That's alive.

415
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000
All I can say is that I saw a very large creature, living creature for sure.

416
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Basically I was shocked, readjusted, totally shocked.

417
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,000
But are these creatures real or just an elaborate deception executed by con men?

418
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:27,000
The Loch Ness Monster lives in people's minds and cannot be dislodged from there.

419
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,000
There is no possibility that could be a man in a fursuit.

420
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:37,000
There is no way that this could ever be falsified because of the movement of the muscle underneath the hair.

421
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:43,000
This is a real being, a real creature with spiritual powers that lives in wild places.

422
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,000
The truth about these frightening creatures is as elusive as the monsters themselves.

423
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:53,000
That is why for now they must remain an unexplained mystery.

424
00:41:54,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Where did you come from? What are you?

425
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
The Loch Ness Monster

426
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,000
The Loch Ness Monster
