Bigfoot stomps Four Corners, trackers say

Manderson more than 50 years ago the legend of Bigfoot was born since then a mysterious hairy half-man half-beast has been reported in many different parts of the world in New Mexico people claim to have seen the elusive creature as recently as last month Annie McCormack just trekked across Bigfoot country with trackers who are convinced he's there kind of weird walk down three New Mexico men with a shared experience here in Navajo country with the Topa mesas and it's wild mountain ranges some believe a legend lives among them it took some years before I actually realized that we had Sasquatch here in the Four Corners area like I couldn't believe that I actually my eyes had actually seen it it's amazing Jimmy Hoffa is recounting his story to Tom Biscardi a Bigfoot hunter who has been on the creatures trail for 35 years Viscardi claims to have found the creatures footprints and a mysterious hand that he claims was DNA tested and found to be something totally unknown on this day two weeks ago the scardy and his team are camping in the Four Corners region this is a hotbed where a real true Bigfoot researcher is going to stay the team listens to Hasso described his experience last month driving by the San Juan River in Farmington he stopped at a light turned his head and saw something that thing was just standing still like walking in the water like nothing hasser says it looked like a tall dark tree that was moving there are no trees in that section of the river so the Bigfoot hunters are on the case you can have two teams on feet on foot each side of the bank we followed biscotti and his trek all over the four corners where there have been dozens of alleged Bigfoot sightings since 1998 if you can't walk it they can't walk in from Farmington to the banks of their San Juan River to the ishiki Navajo privation and to the top of the luca choukai a mountain range just over the border in Arizona you see how easy of a vantage point for something in the night in the dark to be sitting right here looking down at us at our campfire and that's down in our area without being spotted on the way up the mountain one member of the team claims he had a possible sighting and on top of the two cos they found clear large tracks other mystery tracks were found on the oshi he reserved a ship this is incredible look what we got here on a scale of one to ten the team reads these prints any just over five feet Bigfoot hunters believe the San Juan is a natural homeland for the creature with plenty of food shelter and hiding spots no they can be seen it during the day they're not done there's some sort of intelligence they set up infrared cameras equipped with night vision because they believe Bigfoot is nocturnal and this footage shot in Paris Texas an alleged major Bigfoot hotspot shows what the scardy believes is a creature see that movement far right of the video of something running to the left then crossing again knocking down a tree it was shot just before dawn this night in Farmington they are not so lucky going that way they only got false alarms so something that big is roaming around this area farmington where could it possibly live and hide where it's never been found well it could be lurking right behind us these caves are a mile outside of Farmington inside they are filled with bats scorpion snakes and tarantulas but could it really be a possible lair for Bigfoot this is a really good spot for them to hide Leonard is a Navajo tracker who grew up believing Bigfoot was a possibility now he believes it's a fact my first sighting was about five years ago how long does with Viscardi screw leonard shows us caves full of hiding spots and easy entrances and exits although there are some tight squeezes about 25 more feet this way inside the cave we find neatly eaten Indian corn husks on a Ledge this is their favorite food is corn especially Indian corn supposedly a big foot favoring their theory other animals would not eat it as neatly and animals indigenous to the area don't eat corn but while the trackers think this is an ideal Bigfoot homeland others are skeptical in new mexico for example you know the creature that's that big is gonna have to have a consistent water source and in the large food source and much of new mexico as you know is desert it's arid and there just isn't the water there it is to be able to sustain the these sorts of creatures Ben Radford is managing editor of skeptical Inquirer magazine which explores myths and supernatural claims he says there's a huge hole in the Bigfoot theory if these creatures are out there they have to die at some point why isn't anybody finding them how many people out there have seen a dead skeleton of a bear and locals we talked with are convinced the legend is real time and time again law enforcement comes back in local authorities and they blame it on a bear I say it's a Bigfoot I was grill sceptical via and all at first that you know they'd actually be you know something moving around when this earth living amongst us if you would like to see more of any McCormick's report log on to krqe.com you can see more video from her
