Narrator: ON THIS EPISODE
OF "FINDING BIGFOOT"... FOR OVER 50 YEARS, THE REMOTE WOODS
OF NORTHERN GEORGIA HAVE BEEN A HOTSPOT
FOR BIGFOOT ACTIVITY, WITH HUNDREDS
OF DOCUMENTED ENCOUNTERS. NOW, THE BIGFOOT FIELD
RESEARCHERS ORGANIZATION, LED BY MATT MONEYMAKER,
JOURNEY TO GEORGIA TO INVESTIGATE
THE LATEST PIECE OF EVIDENCE, A NEVER-BEFORE-BROADCAST
POLICE VIDEO THAT SOME BELIEVE
IS PHOTOGRAPHIC PROOF OF THE SASQUATCH. THE INVESTIGATION LEADS THE TEAM
TO A SMALL TOWN ON THE EDGE OF GEORGIA'S
CHATTAHOOCHEE NATIONAL FOREST, WHERE SHOCKING
NEW EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS RESULT IN
A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY. THESE LOOK LIKE TOES. Ranae: THERE'S A TRACK THAT,
FROM 10 FEET, YOU CAN SEE IS A FOOTPRINT -- A LARGE FOOTPRINT. THIS MIGHT JUST BE
THE REAL DEAL HERE. Narrator: AS THE TEAM CLOSES
IN ON THE TRUTH, THEY'RE JOINED
BY VOLUNTEERS FROM THE BFRO IN AN EFFORT TO DETERMINE,
ONCE AND FOR ALL, IF BIGFOOT EXISTS
IN NORTHERN GEORGIA. Georgia: HEY, GUYS,
IT'S DELTA CAR. I DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY
HAVE A HIT. COME OVER HERE
AND CHECK IT OUT, YOU GUYS. ♪♪ JAMES:
It was impossibly large. MAN:
It definitely wasn't human. Matt: I'VE BEEN TRACKING
SASQUATCHES FOR 25 YEARS. Cliff: THESE ANIMALS,
IN FACT, ARE REAL. Bobo: I'VE SEEN THEM.
THEY'RE HERE. Ranae: I'M HAVING
A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS. Matt:
THERE'S SOMETHING ON THE HILL! [ ROARS ] I DO THINK THERE'S A 'SQUATCH
IN THESE WOODS. ♪♪ Matt: THE TEAM AND I HAVE
TRAVELED ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO RURAL NORTHERN GEORGIA
FOR ONE REASON ONLY -- TO DETERMINE IF BIGFOOTS EXIST IN THIS LUSH REGION
OF THE COUNTRY. THIS WIDE-OPEN
PART OF THE STATE OFFERS THE PERFECT COMBINATION
OF SMALL FARMING COMMUNITIES SURROUNDED BY VAST TRACTS
OF NATIONAL FOREST. THIS IS JUST THE SORT OF PLACE WE'VE COME TO EXPECT
BIGFOOT SIGHTINGS TO OCCUR, AND THIS IS WHERE
OUR LATEST REPORT COMES FROM. GEORGIA'S CHATTAHOOCHEE
NATIONAL FOREST HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN
AS A HOTBED OF BIGFOOT ACTIVITY WITHIN THE BIGFOOT RESEARCH
COMMUNITY. IN FACT, PETROGLYPHS PRODUCED
BY THE EARLIEST NATIVE AMERICANS THAT LIVED IN THE AREA
DEPICTS THEM INTERACTING
WITH A BIGFOOT-TYPE CREATURE. SO WHEN YOU TAKE THE CENTURIES
OF DOCUMENTED ENCOUNTERS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ALMOST
A MILLION SQUARE MILES OF UNTOUCHED
AND UNPOPULATED FOREST, YOU GET A LOCATION THAT IS
VERY LIKELY A BIGFOOT HABITAT. BUT, PRIMARILY, WE'RE
INVESTIGATING A PIECE OF FOOTAGE THAT CAME FROM A DASH CAM
FROM A STATE TROOPER VEHICLE. Man: I CAN VERY, VERY EASILY
ARTICULATE THAT. Woman: MM-HMM. IT'S A CLASSIC ROAD-CROSSING
SIGHTING AT NIGHT, AND IT'S THE FIRST TIME
THAT'S EVER BEEN GOTTEN BY A LAW ENFORCEMENT'S
DASH CAMERA. THE POLICE DIDN'T REALLY
DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT AFTERWARDS. THERE WAS NO LAWS
APPARENTLY BROKEN, SO THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO ANY
KIND OF A POLICE INVESTIGATION. ALL WE HAVE FROM THE INCIDENT
IS THE VIDEO. Cliff:
LOOKING AT THE FOOTAGE, YOU CAN
ACTUALLY COUNT THE STEPS -- ONE, TWO, THREE STEPS
BROUGHT IT OVER THE WHITE LINE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE
OF THE ROAD. THE SPEED OF THE CREATURE
WHILE IT MOVES ACROSS THE ROAD SEEMS VERY QUICK,
BUT WE WON'T KNOW FOR SURE UNTIL WE GET SOMEBODY
IN THE SAME POSITION TO SEE IF WE CAN
RE-CREATE IT OURSELVES. I THINK THERE'S
A VERY GOOD CHANCE THAT WHAT WE'RE SEEING IN
THAT VIDEO IS A REAL SASQUATCH. IT'S MY OPINION
THAT THIS IS A HOAX, AND THIS IS SOMEBODY IN A SUIT,
BUT I'M WITH YOU GUYS. WE GOT TO GET SOME SCALE, AND WE GOT TO PROVE IT
ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. A COMMON OBSERVATION
AMONGST WITNESSES, WHEN THEY SEE ONE,
IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S GLIDING, LIKE IT'S ALMOST LIKE A HUMAN
ON A BICYCLE. YOU SEE THE LEGS MOVING, BUT THE SHOULDERS AND HEAD
HOLD FAIRLY STEADY. I HAVE TO SAY,
I SEE THAT HERE, AS WELL. YEAH. Bobo: IT'S NOT CLEAR ENOUGH
TO DEFINITIVELY SAY IT IS OR ISN'T A SASQUATCH
OR A PERSON IN A COSTUME. WE CAME HERE TO SEE
IF THIS VIDEO WAS OF A GUY IN A MONKEY SUIT OR WAS IT THE REAL DEAL -- WAS IT A SASQUATCH
THAT THEY FILMED? ♪♪ Matt: WE'RE GOING
TO MEET MARY SCOTT. SHE WAS THE PASSENGER
IN THE STATE TROOPER VEHICLE WHEN THE FOOTAGE WAS OBTAINED. WE'RE GONNA TAKE HER
BACK TO WHERE THAT WAS AND ASK HER TO TELL US
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED FROM HER PERSPECTIVE. SO THE INCIDENT HAPPENED
RIGHT NEAR HERE? IT DID. ACTUALLY,
WE WERE TRAVELING THIS WAY, AND IT HAPPENED
RIGHT BEFORE THAT GUARDRAIL. I THINK WE SHOULD TAKE A LOOK,
WALK DOWN THERE, POSSIBLY. OKAY. OKAY. ♪♪ SO, THIS IS IT? THIS IS IT. IT APPEARED TO CROSS
RIGHT HERE. WE WERE COMING THIS WAY
ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR. IT WAS PITCH-BLACK, SO IT SEEMED
LIKE WE WERE DOING 100. IT WAS SO LATE AT NIGHT. THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER CAR
ON THE ROAD. ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WITH NO NOTICE WHATSOEVER, THIS VERY TALL, VERY FURRY,
VERY FAST CREATURE COMES FROM THAT SIDE
OF THE ROAD. Man: WHAT THE CRAP?
DID YOU SEE THAT? Mary: YES. SHOOTS DOWN HERE. WE'RE, OF COURSE, GOING TOO FAST
TO STOP IMMEDIATELY, SO WE HIT THE BRAKES,
SPUN AROUND, IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK. THE OFFICER PUTS
ON THE BLUE LIGHTS. WE JUMP OUT OF THE CAR. THE OFFICER HAD A BIG GUN DRAWN, AND HE'S IDENTIFYING HIMSELF. WHATEVER IT WAS WAS GONE. I WAS SHOCKED WHEN I SAW IT
BECAUSE IT WAS SO BIG, AND NORMALLY, IN NORTH GEORGIA,
ANIMALS JUMP OUT, BUT IT'S EITHER USUALLY DEER, OCCASIONALLY A BLACK BEAR. UH, THAT'S IT -- NOTHING THAT LARGE AND STANDING
SO ERECT AND RUNNING SO FAST. SO, WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE
A LOT OF BLACK BEARS HERE, BUT THIS THING WAS ON TWO LEGS
THE ENTIRE TIME? I HAVE SEEN BLACK BEARS. I'VE HAD TWO EVEN RUN ACROSS
IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE. NO COMPARISON.
NONE. Matt: WHAT I GATHERED
FROM MARY SCOTT IS THAT SHE FIRMLY BELIEVED
THAT THEY SAW A SASQUATCH. AT NO POINT DID SHE EVEN BRING
UP THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS WAS A PERSON
IN A COSTUME. SHE ALSO JUST OUTRIGHT
DISMISSED THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT WAS A BEAR. Ranae: AFTER MEETING WITH MARY
AND COMING TO THIS LOCATION AND SEEING THE LAYOUT, WE WOULD BE CRAZY IF WE DIDN'T
TRY TO RE-CREATE IT AND SEE IF IT COULD
BE A PRANK. Cliff: THE WAY WE'RE GONNA DO
THIS RECONSTRUCTION IS, WE'RE GONNA GET A CAR
OF THE SAME SIZE, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DRIVE
AT THE SAME SPEED AND HAVE BOBO
RUN ACROSS THE ROAD. WE'RE HOPING TO SHED SOME LIGHT
ON THE SIZE OF THE CREATURE, THE SPEED IT WAS TRAVELING, AND ALSO WHERE IT WAS
COMING FROM AND GOING TO. ♪♪ OKAY, I JUST FINISHED
SETTING UP THE CAMERA AND THE RECORDER INSIDE THE CAR. RANAE, YOU'RE GONNA BE DRIVING
ABOUT 55 MILES AN HOUR. MATT, YOU MONITOR IT, AND THEN I'M GONNA BE
SIGNALING BOBO WHEN TO RUN ACROSS THE ROAD. HOPEFULLY, WHAT WE CAN DO HERE
IS GET A SIMULATION OF THE DASH-CAM VIDEO ITSELF AND SEE WHAT WE CAN LEARN
FROM IT, BASICALLY. AND WE'LL MAKE SURE
TO COORDINATE SO NO ONE GETS RUN OVER. -GREAT.
-LET'S GO, GUYS. I'M REALLY GLAD WE GOT
TO COME HERE IN THE DAYLIGHT AND SEE IT AHEAD OF TIME SO WE KNOW EXACTLY
WHERE TO GO AND WHAT TO DO. A LITTLE LIGHT
GOES A LONG WAYS. YEAH. Matt: ALL RIGHT, GUYS.
SO, YOU'RE ON THE ROAD, READY TO BE THE BIGFOOT. Bobo's always ready
to be a Bigfoot. BEEN TRAINING MY WHOLE LIFE
FOR THIS ROLE. Matt, please let us know
when you're in position. WE'RE ROLLING. Okay, we're past
the intersection... AND WE'VE GOT GUARDRAILS
ON THE SIDE. SHE'S TRYING TO GET UP
TO SPEED. WE'RE AT 40. And to the guardrail, it's 100 feet
from the first mailbox... AND COMING AROUND THE BEND. ANOTHER MAILBOX, AND NOW! ♪♪ [ CHUCKLES ] I DIDN'T KNOW BOBO
COULD MOVE THAT FAST. YEAH. YEAH, IF THAT WAS A HOAX, THAT PERSON WAITED
TILL THE LAST SECOND, 'CAUSE THAT WAS KIND OF SKETCHY RUNNING OUT THAT CLOSE
TO THE CAR. DID YOU SEE HIM BOOK? Matt: YEAH. I'M THINKING
ONCE THOSE IMAGES ARE COMPARED SIDE-BY-SIDE, WE'RE GONNA START TO SEE
SOME UNUSUAL THINGS, AND THAT WILL SHOW THAT
THIS THING THAT CROSSED THE ROAD IS EVEN LESS LIKELY TO HAVE
BEEN A HUMAN IN A COSTUME. I'VE RUN IN FRONT OF CARS
AT NIGHT BEFORE, BUT I WAS ALWAYS NAKED. [ LAUGHS ] HERE WE GO. OKAY, HERE WE COME. COMING UP.
THERE'S THE FIRST MAILBOX... COMING AROUND,
SECOND MAILBOX AND NOW. Cliff: OH, THERE YOU GO. DID YOU NOTICE
HOW THE BOUNDING MOVEMENT LOOKS DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT YOU SEE IN THE FOOTAGE? YEAH. IT GLIDES. EXACTLY. IT GLIDES REAL WELL. Cliff: WELL, I'M DEFINITELY
LEANING TOWARDS THIS IS A SASQUATCH
ON FILM, AND I CAN'T BE 100% SURE, BUT I THINK THE CONTEXT
OF THE SITUATION, WITH MARY'S EXCELLENT
EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS. Matt:
THERE ARE TWO TELLING SIGNS
FOR ME THAT THIS WAS A BIGFOOT. FIRST, THE FIGURE'S STRIDE
WAS EFFORTLESS, WHILE BOBO LURCHED
WITH EACH STEP. SECOND, WHEN YOU PAUSE
THE VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE
THAT THE FIGURE'S LEGS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME LENGTH
AS BOBO'S. SASQUATCHES HAVE DIFFERENT BODY
PROPORTIONS COMPARED TO HUMANS. THEIR LEGS ARE SHORTER
COMPARATIVELY THAN HUMANS, AND THEIR ARMS ARE LONGER, SO IF THE LEGS
WERE THE SAME LENGTH, THAT WOULD MAKE THE FIGURE AT LEAST SIX INCHES TALLER
THAN BOBO AND CLOSER TO SEVEN FEET TALL. THE QUESTION FOR ME ISN'T
"IS IT A SASQUATCH?" THE QUESTION FOR ME IS
"CAN A PERSON RE-CREATE THAT? YES, A PERSON COULD. Bobo: THAT THING RAN KIND OF
BENT, HUNCHED, SMOOTH. IT WASN'T BOUNCING UP
LIKE I WAS. I THINK
THAT WAS A REAL 'SQUATCH. Matt: ALL RIGHT,
THIS IS WHAT WE'LL DO. DOWN HERE WE HAVE A PLACE WHERE
A 'SQUATCH CROSSED THE ROAD -- IT CROSSED
FROM THE RIGHT TO THE LEFT. WE CAN SPLIT UP
INTO TWO TEAMS. YOU AND I WILL GO DOWN THE PATH
THAT THE THING CAME FROM. CLIFF AND BOBO WILL GO DOWN
ALONG THE PATH WHERE IT WOULD HAVE GONE. WE'LL GO DOWN THERE,
WE'LL MAKE SOME SOUNDS, WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN KICK UP
SOME ACTION. ♪♪ WE'RE USING THERMAL IMAGERS
AND NIGHT VISION DEVICES. NIGHT VISION DEVICES
TURN NIGHT INTO DAY. WE COULD SEE THE ROAD
AHEAD OF US, AND WE CAN SEE
UP TO THE EDGE OF THE TREE LINE, BUT WITH THERMAL IMAGERS,
WE CAN SEE INTO THE TREE LINE AND SEE
IF THERE'S ANY BIGFOOTS HIDING IN THE SHADOWS BEHIND THE BRUSH. Bobo:
SO THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL REPORTS
WITHIN A FEW MILES OF HERE. Cliff: OH, YEAH. VERY "LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW"
HERE, MAN. YEP. ♪♪ [ GRUNTS ] HEADS UP. ♪♪ I'LL KNOW WHEN WE'RE
IN A GOOD SPOT TO MAKE VOCALS. I THINK WE'RE TOO LOW
RIGHT NOW. WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO HEAR EVEN THE FAINTEST
LITTLE CRUNCHING SOUNDS, AND YOU CAN'T HEAR THAT
VERY WELL NEXT TO THE MOVING WATER. I'M GAME.
LET'S GO. Matt: WE REALIZED WE HAD
TO GET UP ON ELEVATION SO OUR SOUNDS WOULD
CARRY A GOOD, LONG WAY, AND WE GOT TO A POINT
WHERE THE SOUND WOULD CARRY OUT ALMOST, YOU KNOW, 360 DEGREES. Ranae: THE THEORY IS THAT
BROADCASTING THESE CALLS WILL DRAW IN ANY SASQUATCHES
FROM THE AREA. OKAY, I'M GONNA DO ONE -- LONG HOWL. ROGER. [ EXHALING DEEPLY ] [ INHALES DEEPLY ] [ HOWLS ] ♪♪ HIT IT, MAESTRO. [ SHRIEKING ] [ CONTINUES SHRIEKING ] THAT ROCKED. I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU HAD IT IN YOU, CLIFF. THAT WAS PRETTY COOL. THAT SOUNDED LIKE
A REAL BIGFOOT. I practice... in the shower. My neighbors hate it. Yeah. SOME PEOPLE
SING IN THEIR CARS. I DO BIGFOOT SCREAMS. [ CHUCKLES ] I'm scanning. Matt: WE GOT NO OWLS
AND NO COYOTES AND NO NOTHING. It suddenly got
a lot chillier. It did. [ DISTANT WOOD KNOCKING ] Oh! Did you hear that? Do you hear something
in that direction? I heard that.
Was that farther back? I DO THINK THERE'S
A 'SQUATCH IN THESE WOODS. [ ROARS ] [ ROARS ] ♪♪ Matt: DOING THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE DASH-CAM VIDEO WAS VERY HELPFUL. WE WERE ABLE TO SEE,
ONCE WE WERE AT THE SITE, HOW JUST UNLIKELY IT WAS THAT SOMEBODY WOULD PICK
THAT PARTICULAR SPOT TO DO THAT, AND YET IT WAS A NATURAL PLACE
FOR AN ANIMAL TO CROSS. SO BECAUSE IT SEEMED SO NATURAL, WE KNEW THAT THERE WAS A GOOD
CHANCE DOWN IN THOSE VALLEYS THAT THE THING MIGHT
BE HANGING AROUND, SO WE DECIDED TO SPLIT UP
THE TEAM INTO TWO GROUPS, AND IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE
WE STARTED HEARING THINGS. [ WOOD KNOCKING ] Oh! Did you hear that? I DO THINK THERE'S
A 'SQUATCH IN THESE WOODS. AWESOME. There's nobody up there. I think that was a 'squatch. JUST SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF MY CLAIMS TO FAME
IN THE BIGFOOT WORLD IS I WAS THE ONE WHO DISCOVERED
THAT BIGFOOTS DO WOOD KNOCKS AND FIGURED OUT
THAT IF YOU MAKE SOUNDS, THAT THEY'LL RESPOND. NO OTHER BIGFOOT RESEARCHERS
HAD EVER FIGURED THAT OUT OR KNEW THAT BEFORE, 'CAUSE THEY DIDN'T REALLY GO
IN THE FIELD VERY OFTEN. Ranae: I TRY TO KEEP
AN OPEN MIND, BUT IF YOU GO IN EXPECTING
TO HEAR SOMETHING, AND YOU'RE LOOKING FOR IT, YOU MIGHT FIND IT
WHEN IT'S ACTUALLY NOT THERE. It's dead. We did howls.
We did knocks. We're not getting
more action. OKAY, LISTEN, GUYS. We're not getting any responses
to the knocks. I don't think
there's anything close by. The only thing
we can do now is... IS JUST HOPE THAT
THAT THING IS WATCHING US, MAYBE IT SPOTTED OUR LIGHTS,
AND IT'S JUST CHECKING US OUT. I THINK WE SHOULD --
WE GOT TO MOVE SOMEWHERE. THERE'S ONLY ONE DIRECTION
WE CAN MOVE, WHICH IS BACK DOWN
THE WAY WE CAME, AND HOPEFULLY
WHEN WE DO THAT, WE'LL GET SOMETHING
FOLLOWING US, AND WE'LL BE ABLE
TO HEAR IT. ROGER THAT.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY BACK DOWN. Matt: WE HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING
FOR A WHILE NOW, SO THE ONE LAST TRICK WE CAN TRY
ON THE WAY OUT IS TO BE VERY CONSPICUOUS
BY HAVING OUR LIGHTS ON AS WE LEAVE. ♪♪ [ CRUNCH ] HOLY [BLEEP]
DID YOU THROW SOMETHING? NO, DID YOU? NO. HOLY -- DIDN'T KNOW IF THAT WAS A BRANCH
BEING SNAPPED OR A ROCK GOT THROWN. YEAH, I DEFINITELY HEARD
SOMETHING. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING
DROPPING. YOU CAN'T SEE ANYTHING
THROUGH HERE. HOLY [BLEEP] MATT. WE JUST HAD
A BIG BRANCH BREAK, OR IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
A ROCK BEING THROWN THROUGH SOME DRY TIMBER, BUT IT WAS DEFINITELY
LOUD AND BIG. All right! Yeah! CLIFF'S MOVING IN ON IT. HE'S THERMING UP AND DOWN
THE TREE LINE NOW. WHATEVER IT IS IT'S
BEHIND THIS SLASH PILE IN SOME REALLY THICK THORNS. I wish I was there. Cliff: THIS IS AMAZING. BIGFOOTS OR NOT, MAN,
THIS IS WHAT BIGFOOTING CAN BE ALL ABOUT
WHEN THEY'RE NOT AROUND. WELL, THEY'RE NOT DUMB. THEY KNOW WHERE WE CAN GO
AND CAN'T GO. MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST
KEEP MOVING AND SEE IF IT HARASSES US
ON THE WAY OUT. YEAH.
LET'S DO IT. ♪♪ ♪♪ Matt: NOTHING HAS HAPPENED
FOR A FEW HOURS NOW, AND WE COULD SEE THAT THE SUN
IS STARTING TO COME UP. THAT MEANS WE'RE OUT
OF OUR WINDOW OF HAVING AN ENCOUNTER
WITH THESE NOCTURNAL ANIMALS. AFTER RE-CREATING MARY'S
DRAMATIC DASH-CAM FOOTAGE AND INVESTIGATING
THE SURROUNDING AREA, WE REALIZED WE NEEDED
MORE INFORMATION TO DETERMINE IF THERE ARE
REALLY SOME BIGFOOTS IN THIS PART OF GEORGIA, AND THE ONLY WAY
TO GET THAT INFORMATION IS TO TALK
WITH THE LOCAL PEOPLE. SO WE DECIDED TO HEAD UP
THE ROAD TO THE BAVARIAN-INSPIRED TOWN
OF HELEN, GEORGIA, TO MEET WITH LOCAL WITNESSES AND SEE WHAT WE COULD LEARN
FROM THEM. TO HELP US WITH THIS, WE CALLED ON THE GEORGIA CHAPTER
OF THE BFRO. THEY WERE ABLE TO ROUND UP
SEVERAL LOCAL WITNESSES FOR US TO MEET WITH
AT A TOWN-HALL MEETING. GOOD MORNING, FOLKS. MY NAME IS MATT MONEYMAKER. THE HEAD OF WHAT'S CALLED THE BIGFOOT FIELD RESEARCHERS
ORGANIZATION, THE BFRO, AND WE CALLED
THIS MEETING TODAY TO HOPEFULLY TALK
TO SOME WITNESSES. SO, I GUESS THE FIRST QUESTION
TO ASK IS, DOES ANYBODY HERE
HAVE A SIGHTING? ANYBODY HERE HAVE A WITNESS
OR HAVE ANY INFORMATION? IT WAS FAIRLY DARK. I HAD MY HEADLIGHTS ON IT, AND IT JUST FROZE
IN THIS STRIDE, AND DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL THE HEAD,
WHICH WAS STRAIGHT, CAME ROUND AND LOOKED
RIGHT AT MY CAR. I KNEW WHAT IT WAS. I...
I SAW THE CREATURE. IT HAD HAIR ON ITS FACE,
AND IT SMELLED LIKE RAW SEWAGE. ALL OF A SUDDEN,
THIS THING STARTED MARCHING STRAIGHT AT US, AND IT
STARTS THIS TREMENDOUS GROWL -- SPIT FLYING,
TEETH SHOWING. IT'S SO MASSIVE
AND SUCH A BARREL CHEST THAT WHEN IT GROWLED, IT WAS KIND OF LIKE
A LION GROWL, AND IT CAME FROM DEEP WITHIN. I KNEW RIGHT THEN
WHAT IT WAS TELLING US, AND IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE. I ACTUALLY SAW ONE UP CLOSE,
WITHIN 15 FEET OF ME. I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK UP,
AND THERE IT WAS, RIGHT THERE. I HAVE THESE PICTURES
THAT MY HUSBAND TOOK. THEY WERE OUT DUCK HUNTING. Ranae: WHEN WERE
THESE PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN? ABOUT A MONTH AGO. SO IT'S RECENT. WE'VE HAD SOME STRANGE THINGS
HAPPEN AT THE HOUSE. WE'VE HAD WHAT I DESCRIBED
TO PEOPLE AS A GIANT
STANDING OUTSIDE MY HOUSE, HITTING IT WITH A SMALL TREE. -WOW.
-IT FREAKED ME OUT -- CHILLS, I MEAN,
JUST UP AND DOWN YOUR SPINE. AFTER LISTENING
TO ALL OF THE WITNESSES, WE PLOTTED THEIR SIGHTINGS
ON A MAP OF THE AREA. ♪♪ WHILE ALL OF THE STORIES
WERE INTRIGUING, THREE IN PARTICULAR
STRUCK A CHORD WITH US -- JANET'S, JOHN'S, AND DARLA'S. THESE ARE THE STORIES
WE WANTED TO CHECK OUT MORE. MEETING WITH THE WITNESSES
AND HEARING WHAT THEY HAD TO SAY PROVIDES ONE MORE PIECE
OF THE PUZZLE TO US TO FIGURE OUT THE PATTERNS
OF BEHAVIOR OF THESE ANIMALS HERE IN GEORGIA. AS A TEAM, THE FIRST PLACE
WE WANTED TO GO IS WHERE JANET HAD
SEEN ONE CROSS THE ROAD. IT WAS THE CLOSEST PLACE FOR US
TO GET TO, SO THAT'S WHERE WE WANTED TO GO. THIS IS THE SPOT? THIS IS IT,
ON THE ROAD, THOUGH. OKAY.
AROUND THANKSGIVING DAY? IT WAS THANKSGIVING DAY. I WAS DRIVING HOME, AND I THINK
BECAUSE IT WAS THANKSGIVING, THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE
ON THE ROAD AT ALL. AND I WAS PROBABLY DOING 55,
NORMAL, AND COMING OVER THAT RISE, AND I SAW THE LARGEST THING
I'D EVER SEEN. [ GROWLS ] THE FIRST THING
THAT POPPED INTO MY HEAD WAS, "BEAR? NO. HUMAN? NO. IT'S WAY TOO HUGE, TOO BIG." AND BY THEN, THE CREATURE
HAD STEPPED UP INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD... JUST SORT OF FROZEN,
LIKE A STATUE, AND THEN THE HEAD DID
THIS SLOW TURN AND STARED AT MY CAR. AND IT WAS PROBABLY
THE SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE, JUST WAITING TO SEE
IF IT WAS GONNA COME FOR THE CAR OR GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. [ GROWLS ] THEN IT WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE. [ CHUCKLES ] IF I HAD BEEN A MINUTE FASTER
OR A MINUTE SLOWER, I WOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN HIM. I'M JUST GONNA
RUN DOWN THERE, WHERE YOU POINTED
WHERE IT CROSSED, AND I'M GONNA STAND THERE
FOR A SIZE COMPARISON FOR YOU. Cliff:
IT'S A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO DO A RECONSTRUCTION
USING OUR OWN SASQUATCH, BOBO. WE PUT BOBO IN THE POSITION WHERE THE SASQUATCH
CROSSED THE ROAD. JANET TOLD US
ABOUT WHERE SHE WAS WHEN SHE SAW THE CREATURE. USING THOSE TWO LOCATIONS
AND A POLE, WE WERE ABLE TO GET AN ESTIMATE
OF THE HEIGHT OF THE ANIMAL THAT SHE WAS LOOKING AT. Janet: HMM. CAN HE RAISE HIS HAND? EVEN HIGHER THAN THAT? THAT'S IT, MAYBE THAT. RIGHT IN THERE? -PERFECT.
-THAT'S PERFECT. YEAH. Cliff: OKAY,
I'M GONNA RUN DOWN THERE AND TAKE THAT MEASUREMENT. ♪♪ 9'8" TALL. WOW.
9'8"? SORT OF WHAT I THOUGHT.
[ LAUGHS ] I REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU. I THINK I KNOW
WHAT TO TELL YOU, AND I THINK IT WAS A SASQUATCH,
PERSONALLY. I THINK HE WAS FAR TOO BIG
TO BE ANYTHING ELSE, AND THAT'S A PLACE
WHERE THEY COULD EASILY LIVE IN WITHOUT NOT BEING FOUND.
IT IS A PRESERVE. I THINK YOU SAW
THE REAL THING. I LOVE THE FACT
THAT IT FROZE IN MID-STEP AND JUST LOOKED STRAIGHT AHEAD AND SLOWLY TURNED
TO LOOK AT YOU. THAT IS A VERY BIGFOOTY THING
TO DO, SO I'M WITH YOU. I THINK THAT'S A SASQUATCH BASED
ON THAT BEHAVIOR AND THE SIZE. Bobo: AFTER GOING
TO JANET'S SIGHTING, AS A TEAM, WE DECIDED TO BREAK UP
AND GET IN SMALLER GROUPS TO COVER MORE GROUND. CLIFF AND RANAE WENT
TO BULL MOUNTAIN TO GO LOOK AT THOSE PRINTS
OF THE TRACK PHOTOS, AND MATT AND I WENT UP THE RIVER
WITH JOHN, UP TO CHATTAHOOCHEE,
WHERE HIS SIGHTING WAS. -THERE HE IS.
-YEP. Bobo: RIGHT THERE. GOOD TO SEE YOU, BUD.
THANKS FOR COMING OUT. BEEN LOOKING FORWARD
TO COMING TO THIS SPOT. SO IT'S A LITTLE HIKE, HUH? JUST A LITTLE BIT. ♪♪ Bobo: JOHN'S SIGHTING
IS A LITTLE BIT MORE DIFFICULT TO GET TO THAN THE AVERAGE. YOU CAN'T JUST WALK THERE
ON A DAY HIKE. YOU'VE GOT TO CROSS THE RIVER,
THAT SORT OF THING -- STUFF THAT WOULD KEEP
THE AVERAGE HIKER OUT OF THERE. THIS IS AS FAR
AS I WILL COME BY MYSELF. HOW MUCH DO YOU FIGURE
IT WEIGHED? I'D SAY 800, 900 POUNDS. WOW. Bobo: HE WASN'T
A REAL EXPRESSIVE GUY. HE WAS PRETTY MONOTONE,
EVEN-KEELED, BUT WHEN HE'D TALK ABOUT IT, YOU COULD TELL HE WAS
REALLY FEELING IT. SO YOU SAID
HE HAD ROCKS THROWN, ALSO? YES. HOW BIG WERE THEY? BIGGER THAN A BOWLING BALL. DAMN! AND IT WASN'T LIKE THEY WERE,
YOU KNOW, JUST BOUNCING DOWN
THE SIDE OF THE HILL. THEY WERE ACTUALLY
COMING THROUGH THE TREES. DANG! HOW FREAKED OUT WERE YOU
ON THAT? PRETTY FREAKED OUT. ♪♪ Cliff: PEOPLE SAY THERE'S NO
HARD EVIDENCE FOR SASQUATCHES, BUT, YOU KNOW, THIS IS
SOME PRETTY COMPELLING STUFF. IN THIS CASE, TRULY A PICTURE
IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS. DARLA CAME TO THE
TOWN-HALL MEETING IN HELEN WITH THE PHOTOGRAPHS. I HAVE THESE PICTURES
THAT MY HUSBAND TOOK. Cliff: SHE SHOWED US
THE PHOTOGRAPHS AND SAID THAT HER HUSBAND
HAD TAKEN THEM A FEW WEEKS
PRIOR TO THE MEETING. THE FIRST THING I NOTICED ABOUT
JEFF'S FOOTPRINT PHOTOGRAPHS WAS HOW CRISP THE TOES WERE, WHICH, TO ME, INDICATES
THAT THEY WERE VERY, VERY FRESH. THE SECOND THING I NOTICED
WAS THE WIDTH AND, MOST IMPORTANTLY,
THE LACK OF INSTEP ON THE SASQUATCH FOOTPRINT. SASQUATCHES HAVE LARGE,
FLAT FEET. WE HAVE AN INSTEP.
THEY DO NOT. THAT'S SOMETHING I LOOK FOR. ARE THE TRACKS STILL THERE? NO, THEY'RE NOT STILL THERE,
UNFORTUNATELY. THEY WERE GONE
WITHIN A FEW DAYS. BUT IT'S IMPORTANT
TO STILL GO THERE, BECAUSE WHERE A SASQUATCH
GOES ONCE, IT VERY OFTEN GOES
MORE THAN ONCE. PERHAPS THERE'S OTHER TRACKS
AROUND. FOOTPRINTS AND FOOTPRINT CASTS
ARE KIND OF MY THING -- IT'S WHAT
I'M MOST INTERESTED IN, SO I WANT TO GO OUT THERE TO SEE IF WE CAN SHED
SOME MORE LIGHT ON THOSE FOOTPRINT PHOTOGRAPHS. ♪♪ THIS WAS
ABOUT THE SPOT. -RIGHT HERE?
-YES. WE WERE WALKING IN
FROM THIS AREA, CAME UP, SAW THE PRINTS, AND DIDN'T
REALLY THINK MUCH ABOUT IT. WE STARTED
GOING UP THE TRAIL, AND YOU COULD SEE MORE,
MORE, AND MORE PRINTS. WHAT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION WAS, THEY WOULD GO MAYBE 30 FEET, AND THEY WOULD STOP,
TURN AROUND, COME BACK
SEVEN OR EIGHT STEPS, AND THEN THEY WOULD TURN
AND GO BACK UP AND MAYBE GO 30 MORE FEET,
40 MORE FEET, AND DO THAT, AND BY THE TIME
WE GOT TO THAT WOOD LINE, THEY HAD DONE IT, YOU KNOW,
THREE OR FOUR TIMES. IF YOU'RE COMING
FROM THIS WAY, AND IT'S WALKING
BACK AND FORTH, IT APPEAR AS THOUGH
IT'S LOOKING DOWN ON YOU GUYS, SIZING YOU UP. WHEN I FIRST SAW THE TRACK, I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING
ABOUT IT. ONCE I SAW,
WALKING UP THIS WAY, THE BACK-AND-FORTH MOTION
AND THE SHAPE OF THE FOOT... YEAH. ...I GOT TO THINKING
A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT IT. NORMALLY, I'M NOT SCARED. YOU KNOW, I CAN GO OUT
IN THE WOODS IN THE NIGHT. DOESN'T BOTHER ME. BUT WE KEPT OUR GUNS LOADED
UNTIL WE GOT BACK TO THE TRUCK. SOMETHING IS OUT HERE. ♪♪ WE WERE WALKING
ALONG THIS TRAIL, LOOKING FOR A BETTER SPOT
TO FISH. THIS IS THE PLACE
WHERE IT HAPPENED. THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE? THIS IS IT RIGHT HERE. MY BUDDY AND I CAME
UP TO THE END OF THIS ROAD, AND WE WERE DISCUSSING
HOW WE WERE GONNA GET BACK DOWN IN THE RIVER
TO HEAD FURTHER UPSTREAM WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN,
WE HEARD A LOUD THUD HIT THE GROUND BEHIND US. ♪♪ WE TURNED AROUND AND LOOKED, AND RIGHT THERE WAS A LOG
THAT WAS ABOUT THIS BIG AROUND, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A CAR TIRE, AND I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK UP. HE WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE. ♪♪ [ ROARS ] [ ROARS ] Matt: TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT THE BIGFOOTS SUPPOSEDLY LIVING
IN THIS PART OF GEORGIA, WE'VE TALKED
TO SEVERAL WITNESSES, INCLUDING
JOHN THE FLY FISHERMAN. HE TOOK US TO THE EXACT LOCATION WHERE HE CLAIMS TO HAVE HAD
A DAYLIGHT ENCOUNTER WITH A VERY INTIMIDATING
BIGFOOT. I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK UP. HE WAS STANDING RIGHT THERE. ♪♪ Bobo: JUST RIGHT THERE? RIGHT THERE, AND IT WAS
TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT, JUST STANDING,
LOOKING DOWN AT ME. AND YOU DIDN'T COME BACK
FOR A WHILE, I BET. I DIDN'T COME BACK
FOR YEARS. Matt: THE INCIDENT
THAT JOHN HAD, ON ONE SIDE, IT SOUNDED CREDIBLE,
BUT ON THE OTHER SIDE, THERE WAS ELEMENTS
THAT DIDN'T ADD UP, AND I WANTED TO QUESTION HIM
ABOUT THAT AND TRY AND SEE, "IS THIS GUY
MAKING IT UP AS HE GOES ALONG?" WHAT COLOR WAS IT,
THE CREATURE? BLACK.
HIS FOREHEAD HAD NO HAIR. NO HAIR ON THE FOREHEAD? ON THE FOREHEAD,
RIGHT IN HERE. OKAY. THE MOUTH,
HE WAS JUST SITTING THERE, AND IT LOOKED... LIKE A PERSON'S MOUTH? SIMILAR
TO A PERSON'S MOUTH. HIS DESCRIPTION OF THE FACE
WASN'T ENTIRELY CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I'VE HEARD BEFORE, SO I WAS INTENTIONALLY
KIND OF LEADING HIM, SUGGESTING OTHER CHARACTERISTICS
THAT ARE KIND OF THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT THEIR FACE LOOKS LIKE. OKAY, WHAT DID THE EYES
LOOK LIKE? LIKE BIG, WIDE EYE SOCKETS,
OR...? YES. HE AGREED, SAID, "YEAH, BIG,
WIDE EYE SOCKETS, NOT NECESSARILY SUNKEN IN, AND THAT'S
DIRECTLY THE OPPOSITE. ITS NOSE, IT WAS FLAT. OKAY, WHAT WAS THE COLOR
OF THE SKIN? WAS IT THE SAME
AS THE FOREHEAD? IT WAS THE SAME. WELL, THAT'S NOT
WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE EITHER. THEIR NOSE HAS BLACK SKIN ON IT, LIKE THE BLACK SKIN
ON A DOG'S NOSE. I STILL DON'T KNOW. THERE'S SOME THINGS
ABOUT THIS STORY THAT STILL MAKE
NO SENSE AT ALL AND JUST COMPLETELY FLIES
IN THE FACE OF WHAT I KNOW REALITY TO BE. THE JURY'S STILL OUT
IN MY MIND. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN COMPLETELY
ACCEPT THAT ONE. ♪♪ SO, THIS IS MY REGULAR SORT
OF WALKING STRIDE, THEN CIRCLE BACK
LIKE THE PRINTS DID. USING MY TRACKWAY
AS A GAUGE, JEFF WAS ABLE
TO APPROXIMATE THE POSITION OF THE SASQUATCH'S STEP LENGTH, WHICH IS LEFT FOOT
TO RIGHT FOOT. WE ESTIMATE IT
AT PROBABLY ABOUT 3½ FEET, WHICH WOULD INDICATE
THAT THE STRIDE FROM LEFT FOOT TO LEFT FOOT
WOULD BE ABOUT SEVEN FEET. AM I LEAVING PRINTS AT ALL? HARDLY AT ALL. HARDLY AT ALL, HUH? Ranae: CLIFF WAS ABLE
TO DO THE DISTANCE OF THAT STEP. AWKWARDLY, YES,
BUT IT WAS POSSIBLE. THE ONLY THING THAT COULDN'T BE
RE-CREATED WAS THE DEPTH
OF THE SOIL. ALL YOU CAN SEE IS
WHERE YOUR TOES ARE DIGGING IN. Cliff: JEFF NOTICED THAT
THE FOOTPRINTS HE STUMBLED UPON IMPRESSED ABOUT A HALF AN INCH
INTO THE SOIL, WHEREAS HIS FOOTPRINTS
BARELY PENETRATED AT ALL. WHAT THAT COULD TELL ME
IS THAT THE CREATURE WAS A LOT HEAVIER
THAN JEFF. I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY,
JEFF. I KNOW IT WAS COLD,
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SOIL. JEFF TOLD US THAT THAT EVENING,
THE SOIL WAS FROZEN. IT WAS 28 DEGREES. THE FOLLOWING DAY,
IT TOPPED OFF AT 41, SO IT COULD HAVE WARMED UP. THE INITIAL TRACKS
WERE MADE. HE COMES BY A LITTLE BIT LATER, AND THEN THE GROUND
HAS SOLIDIFIED AGAIN. THAT'S MY EXPLANATION. I'M WILLING TO SAY IT.
I THINK, BASED ON THE CONTEXT, THE SIZE, THE FACT THAT YOU SAY THAT THESE THINGS WERE
FLATFOOTED CONSISTENTLY, ALL UP AND DOWN THE TRAIL, AND THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THEM, I THINK WE'RE LOOKING
AT SASQUATCH FOOTPRINTS. SASQUATCHES OFTEN FREQUENT
THE SAME AREAS. LET'S TAKE A LITTLE WHILE
AND LOOK AROUND IF YOU HAVE THE TIME, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT. LET'S GO, BOYS. AFTER DOING
OUR RECONSTRUCTION, I WANTED TO LOOK
AROUND THE AREA, 'CAUSE I KNOW
WHERE SASQUATCHES GO ONCE, THEY USUALLY GO MORE THAN ONCE. IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE
IT IS A WELL-USED TRAIL, MOST DEFINITELY. YEAH, THERE'S HORSE PRINTS AND STUFF
ALL UP AND DOWN HERE. HIKE TRACKS. THERE'S A DOG THERE. BICYCLE. I'M JUST SEEING HIKING BOOTS. BIKE TIRE THERE. WHAT ARE YOU SEEING
OVER THERE, CLIFF? CAN SEE THAT,
WHATEVER THAT IS. THAT LOOKS LIKE TOES. Cliff: OFF TO THE SIDE
OF THE TRAIL, NEAR A BEND, ONE PARTICULAR AREA
CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE IT HAD
A LOT LESS LEAF LITTER THAN THE REST OF THE AREA
SURROUNDING THERE. WATCH WHERE YOU STEP.
-I AM. AND, SURE ENOUGH,
THERE THEY WERE -- TWO FANTASTIC
SASQUATCH FOOTPRINTS, EVEN SHOWING TOES. WE HAVE A PRETTY THICK HEEL. THERE'S NO INSTEP RIGHT HERE, AND, YOU KNOW,
THESE LOOK LIKE TOES. CLIFF PAUSES, I LOOK. THERE'S A TRACK THAT,
FROM 10 FEET, YOU CAN SEE IS A FOOTPRINT. NOT A HIKER'S PRINT, A FOOTPRINT -- A LARGE FOOTPRINT. THIS MIGHT JUST BE
THE REAL DEAL HERE. [ ROARS ] Narrator: THE ANSWER
COMING UP NEXT. Narrator: USING
THE STRIDE AND FOOTPRINT LENGTH FROM A LARGE SAMPLE
OF TRACKS FOUND, SCIENTISTS WERE ABLE
TO DETERMINE THAT THE AVERAGE HEIGHT
OF AN ADULT SASQUATCH IS... [ ROARS ] Cliff: THESE LOOK LIKE TOES. THIS MIGHT JUST BE
THE REAL DEAL HERE. MARY'S VIDEO BROUGHT US
OUT HERE AND I STILL THINK IT'S THE
STRONGEST PIECE OF EVIDENCE AVAILABLE FOR NORTHERN GEORGIA. THE AREA HAS A HUGE, LONG
HISTORY OF SASQUATCH ENCOUNTERS, BUT I'M ECSTATIC ABOUT OUR FIND. THOSE TRACKS ARE BEAUTIFUL. THEY SHOW A LIVING FOOT. WE HAVE TWO RIGHT FEET IN A ROW. THERE'S DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THEM. THIS WAS THE BEST TRACK FIND
OF MY ENTIRE BIGFOOTING CAREER. YOU SEE HOW DEEP THAT IS? -YEAH.
-THAT'S WHAT I SAW. JEFF, I'M BLOWN AWAY. WE'RE LOOKING AT FOOTPRINTS
THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN LEFT BY THE SAME CREATURE THAT LEFT
THE FOOTPRINTS YOU SAW. Ranae: THIS IS
THE MOST COMPELLING EVIDENCE THAT I'VE HAD SO FAR. I'M A LITTLE DUMBFOUNDED
TO ACTUALLY FIND A TRACK. I'M LIKE, "COME ON. REALLY?
IS THIS HAPPENING? DID PEOPLE KNOW WE'RE OUT HERE
LOOKING FOR BIGFOOT AND RUN AROUND BAREFOOT, LEAVING
SOME TRACKS FOR US TO FIND?" I DIDN'T KNOW REALLY
WHAT TO SAY, BUT YOU COULD SEE
THE OBVIOUS OUTLINE OF A HEEL, THE OUTSIDE,
AND FIVE LARGE, DISTINCT TOES. Cliff: THERE ARE THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS OF EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE SEEING SASQUATCHES, YET ONLY A FEW HUNDRED
FOOTPRINT ACCOUNTS THAT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITH
EITHER PHOTOGRAPHS OR CASTS. THIS IS EXTREMELY RARE,
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. SO I JUST HIT THE LOTTERY
IS WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME? YES.
WE HIT THE LOTTERY. ABSOLUTELY. WE HIT THE LOTTERY. IF THIS IS THAT RARE, I MEAN,
WE'VE GOT TO CALL MONEYMAKER. WE GOT TO CALL BOBO, TOO. PUT THEM ON SPEAKERPHONE.
I WANT TO HEAR WHAT THEY SAY. OKAY. ♪♪ SO, YEAH, HE DIDN'T WANT
YOU GUYS COMING HERE TAKING HIS FISH. Matt: OR HIS DEER. HE JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU
BACK HERE AT ALL. [ CELLPHONE RINGS ] THEY UNDERSTAND THAT AMONG HUMANS -- HELLO? HEY, RANAE, LET ME PUT YOU
ON SPEAKERPHONE. MATT, BOBO, YOU GUYS THERE? YEAH, WE'RE HERE
WITH OUR WITNESS AT THE SPOT -- JOHN AT THE FISHING SPOT WHERE
THEY SAW THE BIG NINE-FOOTER. Howdy.
What's up? -UM...
-GO AHEAD AND TELL THEM. GENTLEMEN, WE HAVE PRINTS. THEY FOUND PRINTS.
YOU GUYS FOUND THE SAME TRACKS OR YOU FOUND NEW TRACKS? I THINK THESE PRINTS ARE
ABOUT A MONTH OLD OR SO. I think these are probably
left by the same creature that left the footprints
that Jeff found. Wow.
They matched the photos, huh? YOU KNOW WHAT, JEFF WAS HERE. HE SAID
THESE ARE THE SAME SIZE, THE SAME SHAPE
AS THE ONES HE SAW. WAIT, WAIT, CLIFF,
I GOT TO ASK -- CAN YOU SEE TOES? Yes, you can see toes.
We found two. WOW! WE HAVE TWO PRINTS.
THEY'RE BOTH OF THE RIGHT FOOT. We have a very faint
but definite toes on both. WOW!
THAT'S AWESOME! YOU'RE IN HOG HEAVEN,
HUH, CLIFF? IN THE GROUND, IN PERSON, THESE ARE THE BEST PRINTS
I'VE SEEN IN MY LIFE. I'M REALLY EXCITED FOR CLIFF. HE'S ONE OF MY BEST BROS, AND I JUST KNOW
HOW EXCITED HE IS. I KNOW I'M GONNA HAVE TROUBLE
SLEEPING TONIGHT. CLIFF'S GOT TO BE GOING
OUT OF HIS GOURD RIGHT NOW JUST WITH EXCITEMENT. SO, RANAE,
WHAT DO YOU THINK NOW? DO YOU BELIEVE THEY EXIST? Ranae: HERE'S WHAT I WILL SAY
TO YOU GUYS -- I'M HAVING
A REALLY DIFFICULT TIME FINDING AN EXPLANATION
FOR THIS. I really am
at a loss for words. Bobo: RANAE WAS SAYING
SHE HAS NO EXPLANATION BECAUSE, YEAH,
THEN SHE HAS TO ADMIT, "THEY'RE REAL.
I'M WRONG." I mean, that's rare
to find prints with toes. CLIFF: Yeah,
there's no visible arch. These are looking
really good, Bobo. I'M PRETTY STOKED, MAN. God, I wish I was there,
dude! Like, God! WE'RE COMING RIGHT NOW. YEAH. WE'RE ON OUR WAY. I GOT TO SEE THIS. ALL RIGHT, BYE. ♪♪ Cliff:
YOU KNOW WHAT? THE HEEL IS
A LITTLE OBSCURED ON THIS ONE. LET'S MEASURE
FROM THE TIP OF THE TOE TO THE TIP OF THE TOE. IT DOESN'T MATTER AS LONG
AS WE MEASURE FROM THE SAME SPOT
ON EACH FOOT. THERE YOU GO. OH, THAT IS SEVEN FEET
ON THE NOSE. YOU KNOW, JEFF SAID THE STEP
WAS 3½ FEET. WE'RE LOOKING AT RIGHT FOOT
TO RIGHT FOOT, IT'S SEVEN FEET. I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT THE
SAME ANIMAL'S FOOTPRINTS HERE. WHOO-HOO! ♪♪ SEE HOW THICK IT IS? YEAH. STARTING TO SET UP ALREADY. Cliff: PRINTS ARE
VERY, VERY TEMPORARY. CASE IN POINT,
JEFF'S PRINTS WERE GONE WHEN WE GOT THERE.
IT HAD BEEN ABOUT 3½ WEEKS. BY PRESERVING THESE PARTICULAR
PRINTS IN PLASTER, THESE ARE NOW GONNA BE
SHARED WITH, YOU KNOW, POTENTIALLY DOZENS
OF SCIENTISTS. ♪♪ Bobo: NO WAY.
LET'S SEE IT! OH, MAN! CLIFF!
-I KNOW. I KNOW. -CHECK THEM OUT.
-VERY WELL DONE! Bobo: AWESOME. Matt: THERE ARE ELEMENTS
OF THIS THAT ARE SIGNIFICANT
THAT YOU DON'T NORMALLY SEE, WHICH IS, SINCE YOU HAVE TWO
OF THE SAME FOOT, YOU DO SEE MOVEMENT
OF THE TOES, AND THAT COMPLETELY
ELIMINATES IT BEING A RIGID CARDBOARD CUTOUT. Ranae: I GOT TO BE HONEST.
HERE WE ARE OUT HERE, LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE, I DIDN'T EXPECT US
TO FIND ANYTHING, AND HERE WE ARE. NO PUN INTENDED, BUT THESE
PRINTS ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. [ LAUGHTER ] Matt: THESE TRACKS WERE FOUND
ON A TRAIL NOT VERY FAR
FROM A DIRT ROAD. AND, OF COURSE,
THEN YOU HAVE JANET'S SIGHTING, A ROAD CROSSING,
AND MARY SCOTT'S, A ROAD CROSSING. SO, WE'RE STARTING TO SEE
A DEFINITE PATTERN FORMING, AND THAT TELLS US A LOT
ABOUT THESE CREATURES HERE IN GEORGIA. NOW, USING THE KNOWLEDGE
WE'VE GAINED FROM THE LOCALS AND OUR YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, WE THINK WE'VE FOUND
THE BEST PLACE TO LOOK FOR BIGFOOTS HERE. THIS IS GROUND ZERO. IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE
ANYWHERE IN NORTH GEORGIA, THEY'RE GOING TO BE HERE. THIS IS A PERFECT SITUATION
FOR US TO USE THE ROOFTOP THERMAL IMAGERS. WE CAN PUT THEM ON TOP
OF OUR VEHICLE, CRUISE SLOWLY
DOWN THE ROAD, AND JUST LOOK
TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT. WE GOT TWO ROOFTOPS.
WE GOT HANDHELDS. WE NEED SOME PEOPLE

IF THERE ARE BIGFOOTS HERE. EVERYTHING WE'VE DONE SO FAR

WHERE CLIFF FOUND THE TRACKS, ALONG A ROAD
THAT GOES RIGHT THROUGH A THICK SECTION OF THE
CHATTAHOOCHEE NATIONAL FOREST. THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO USE OUR VEHICLE-MOUNTED
THERMAL CAMERAS. THE SMALLER GEORGIA TREES
AND THE SCANT UNDERBRUSH MEANS OUR THERMALS
WILL SEE FURTHER INTO THE FOREST THAN IT WOULD IN OTHER PLACES. HOPEFULLY, THAT WILL HELP US
GET A SASQUATCH ON FILM. BUT WE DIDN'T WANT
TO DO THIS ALONE, SO WE CALLED IN THE CAVALRY. Bobo: OH, YEAH. IT'S THE GEORGIA CHAPTER
OF THE BFRO. WE EVEN HAD GEORGIA FROM GEORGIA

CHATTAHOOCHEE NATIONAL FOREST. THAT'S WHERE WE THINK
THE BIGFOOTS SPEND A LOT OF THEIR TIME. IT'S A GREAT PLACE
TO DO OUR THERMAL CARAVAN HERE BECAUSE THERE'S NOT
TOO MUCH UNDERBRUSH, SO THE THERMAL IMAGERS
ARE ABLE TO SEE INTO THE WOODS A LOT FURTHER THAN THEY CAN

PACIFIC NORTHWEST UP HERE. WE'RE FINALLY
IN SOME BIG TIMBER. IT'S LOOKING GOOD.
