Narrator: Bigfoot, sasquatch --
In the past 50 years,
There have been more than 10,000 reported sightings
Of this elusive creature in the continental united states.
From the ozarks to the mojave desert,
From the new jersey pine barrens to the pacific northwest,
Every year, hundreds of eye witnesses
Log their encounters,
But where or when this legendary cryptid will be seen next
Has been a mystery, until now.
For the first time in history,
A team of investigators is using an advanced data algorithm
To analyze five decades of bigfoot sightings
To pinpoint when and where to encounter this elusive beast.
With the results, they now know the time and place to search,
And the greatest bigfoot hunt ever is on.

My name is bryce johnson,
And I've been obsessed with the lore of bigfoot
For as long as I can remember.
It's been such a passion of mine
That I started a podcast about bigfoot,
And through that, I've had the opportunity to meet
Just about everybody there is in the bigfoot community,
And I've tried to learn everything there possibly is
To know about this mythical beast.
It's been a dream of mine to help put this mystery to bed
Once and for all, so I've put together a team
Of elite researchers and investigators,
And we have something that no one else has had before --
Information telling us where bigfoot is
And when he's gonna be there.
Narrator: After processing sightings data
Through a complex algorithm,
Results show for the next three weeks
A 90,000-acre swath of dense forest in central oregon
Is where a bigfoot encounter is likely to occur.
Bryce: Usually, a sighting is reported,
And then the researchers head to that location.
What I tried to do was put us...
- Put us ahead. - ...Two steps ahead of bigfoot,
You know, which hasn't been done before.
Absolutely.
Bryce: All the data tells us
The best chance of success for finding bigfoot
Is right here, right now, for the next three weeks.
Narrator: To maximize their time,
The field team will be embedded deep in the forest,
Living and operating their mission
From within the target zone.
A quest of this magnitude
Requires a team of skilled experts.
I've made a scientific discovery.
I know the possibility of finding something
That no one else has been able to find or identify is real.
Bryce: What can I say about dr. Mireya mayor?
She spent 20 years in the field. She's a fulbright scholar.
She's a primatologist, anthropologist.
We're extremely lucky to have her.
Mireya: For more than 20 years,
I have explored the most remote regions of the world...
...Places where most people wouldn't go.
That's what has always driven me in my field.
[ grunting ]
I discovered a new lemur species
That is now the world's smallest primate.
It's an amazing example of how little we still know
About what's out there.
I'm looking for really good scientifically sound evidence
Where we could finally put this to rest
And maybe have bigfoot walk off the pages of myth and legend.
The world is so much more gigantic than people understand,
And to believe that we've explored
Every single inch of it,
And there's nothing could be hiding from us --
That shows our arrogance, you know, and our ignorance.
Bryce: Nobody has more experience looking for bigfoot
Than ryan golembeske, also known as "rpg."
He really knows the signs to look for.
He knows the incredible lore surrounding bigfoot,
And he's been doing it since he was a kid,
And I think he's a tremendous asset.
Rpg: There are hundreds of native american stories
About bigfoot, so I base my personal hunting style
On native american wisdom and lore.
I'm gonna find bigfoot
Because that's been my life's mission.
Some people go to disneyland, disney world.
My family and I -- we would go check loch ness out,
Or we would go camping and howl for the big man,
And to have this opportunity is astronomical.

We're really gonna be heading into a zone
Of old-growth forest, so much of which has been
Either undiscovered or unexplored.
Narrator: The mysterious mountain forests
Of the pacific northwest
Have become synonymous with bigfoot.
From native american legends stretching back centuries
To many of the most famous sightings,
This region has long been known as a bigfoot hot spot.
More than 1,800 sightings have been recorded in oregon alone
Over the past 50 years.
Scientists rely on peoples' accounts
When looking for animals that are incredibly rare or elusive
Or thought to be extinct.
But despite the high rate of bigfoot occurrences here,
The team will need all the help it can get.

Bryce: I look at a forest, and I see trees.
Russell sees a menagerie of things.
He sees game trails. He sees signs.
He knows what to look for.
Russell's the type of guy who can drop behind enemy lines
And know that he's gonna come home
With a mission accomplished.
Russell: One of the things that has helped me through
My bigfoot research is my military experience,
Having the training to be able to survive out
In the wilderness, tracking, and searching.
That's my element.
This is perfect country.
Mireya: If there was ever a team put together
That could find evidence or find bigfoot,
I really think it's this one.
This is true wilderness.
Narrator: The 90,000-acre search area
Has remained almost completely untouched
Since the logging industry left decades ago,
And no bigfoot investigation has ever occurred here
On the scale that the team has planned.

Narrator: In a remote forest in central oregon...
Bryce: Now we're getting into the tree line.
...A team of expert researchers
Are headed into a densely wooded mountain range.
This 90,000-acre hot zone is where they believe
They'll find the world's most elusive beast --
Bigfoot.
The team has chosen this location
Based on data calculations
That reveal a unique cluster of bigfoot sightings
That all occur at this exact time of year,
And according to the analysis,
There's a 130-square-mile target zone
Where bigfoot is very likely to be.
Bryce: So this is something that's never been done before.
We know bigfoot is here.
There's only one catch.
The window of time where these cluster of sightings
Are taking place is between mid-may and early June,
So we only have three weeks to finally find bigfoot.
- So a big water source there. - Yeah.
Mireya: So maybe we start looking for
A place to camp just over here.
Mireya: Whenever you enter a forest,
You're in something's territory,
So when you're setting up a base camp,
You want to be close enough to the animal you're looking for
But far enough away where you're not encroaching on their turf.
This looks good, yes. - All right.
- Looks good. - Whoo!
To me, this is the ideal place to set up our base camp.
Narrator: Using her 20 years of field experience...
All right. Let's get that gear.
...Mireya has strategically chosen a location
To set up base camp just on the edge of the target zone.
Bryce: This is the perfect base camp.
It's a great place to serve as a conduit
Between getting things into them and getting things out.
Narrator: This will be the field team's home and base of operations
For the next three weeks as they scour the target zone,
An area of nearly untouched wilderness.
Russell: This is a very serious task.
You have to be willing to stick it out
And stay for days or weeks or whatever it takes
To prove that bigfoot does or does not exist.
Narrator: After decades of bigfoot hunting
In the pacific northwest,
Survivalist russell acord is extremely familiar
With forests in this region.
He has information that could come in handy
To the rest of the team.
You guys are each gonna get your own personal first-aid kit.
There's cougars. There's all kinds of animals.
And it's definitely a threat out here
Because we're in the wilderness, so...
How likely are we to see cougar out here?
There's been a fatality right here.
They're definitely something you want to take seriously.
We're the intruders.
We're in their house,
And they're probably not gonna like that very much.
Being in a remote area,
If I break a limb up here or get hurt,
I know that we're hours from the nearest medical attention.
You have to be on your "a" game out here.
This is no place to not be spot-on.
In your opinion, the worst and best case happens,
And a bigfoot comes out and charges us,
What's our game plan for bigfoot?
With gorillas, for example,
We have sort of a rule book that we follow.
When a gorilla charges, we know what to do.
With something like bigfoot, there's no manual.
That's the more worrisome part.
I don't know what the strategy would be.
I'm used to the idea of being out in remote,
Wild places where we're facing lots of dangers.
I've worked with wild animals now for over two decades.
I've been charged by 400-pound silverback gorillas.
So something the size of bigfoot is allegedly over 7 feet tall
And could be 1,200 pounds.
The strength, the sheer force -- it's mind-blowing.
We have no idea what to expect,
And that's scary.
- Oh, look at this. - We got company?
Yeah, we sure do.
In order to begin our hunt, we've brought in a lidar team
To help us map this area.
Bryce. Bryce, jamie. Nice to meet you.
Hey, jamie. Nice to meet you, man.
Bryce: With about 150 square miles of dense forest to cover
And only three weeks, we don't really have time
To be searching blindly,
So we have with us one of the most sophisticated
Mapping technologies
Ever deployed on a bigfoot expedition.
Narrator: For the past 48 hours, a state-of-the-art mapping team
Has been scanning the target zone
Using a drone-mounted lidar rig.
Lidar, or light detection and ranging,
Is a highly advanced system that uses thousands of laser points
To create a high-resolution topographical rendering
Of the terrain below
And is accurate to within one inch.
The system is so sophisticated,
It can penetrate the forest canopy
To reveal anything hidden below.
It's like x-ray vision from the sky.
It can see right through the trees
To help us pinpoint any signs or clues of bigfoot activity.
We need to find targets or points of interest.
Narrator: The lidar team has processed the mapping data
From the target zone, and it is ready for analysis.
Bryce: The amount of detail this system can detect
Is mind-blowing,
So we're gonna be looking for signs of bigfoot habitats --
Water sources, caves, tunnels, possible food sources,
Any signs of disturbances where bigfoot might be moving.

And these same paths filled with animals to eat
Would make ideal hunting grounds for bigfoot.
Rpg: This is like a christmas morning moment for a 'squatcher.

And you're seeing all the different streets
Running in every different direction,

We have sasquatch's freeway system.
Bryce: We have a lot to do, so, rpg, mireya,
Think you should find lots of interesting things over there.
I have no doubt in my mind
That this is how bigfoot is getting around.
Russell: You can see from this --
You can see elevation changes
Before you walk all the way to it.
Where is that highest point?
Here is the highest elevation.
Yep. Mireya: Probably some pretty hard trekking.
That's exactly what I'm looking for is the toughest areas
To get to because that's where I would hide --
Where humans don't want to go.
That's where I would want to go.
That would give me a great perspective
Of everything else around me, too.
Could be something hiding there.
Russell: In my experience, you can't go elk hunting
Without thinking like an elk.
You can't go bear hunting without thinking like a bear.
You become bigfoot.
You have to think like what it is that you're seeking.
Well, listen, we all have targets
That we can be excited about,
And we'll see what we can find there.
Sounds good.
Narrator: The expedition will split into teams.
Mireya and rpg will hike seven miles north
To investigate a location
Where several of the game trails all converge.
Russell will travel solo and trek east
To scale an isolated 6,000-foot peak,
A likely spot, he believes,
For bigfoot to seek refuge from humans,
And bryce will be based at a remote headquarters
34 miles outside the hot zone.
Bryce: During the investigation,
There's gonna be lots of things
That need to be handled outside the hot zone.
Evidence will need to be tested and analyzed.
There are witnesses and experts that we'll want to speak with,
So I'll be in charge of gathering intel
And supporting our field team, doing anything I need to do

And seeing that things were in motion,
That's when we notice an actual print.
Now, sasquatching for years,
It is very hard to find a footprint, okay?

This system utilizes a self-generated wireless network
And sends captured images over four miles to one local device,

And with a 1/4-second trigger speed,
Anything that passes by is guaranteed to be caught on film.

Using something called infrasound to debilitate
Or sort of paralyze their prey.
Narrator: In nature, infrasound is a powerful low-frequency tone
That many large mammals, such as elephants and tigers,
Use to communicate.
Tigers use it to ward off competing males
That might enter their territory.
Many witness accounts report
That bigfoot also uses this sound
To intimidate, injure, and inflict paralyzing fear.

In the middle of the night.
But as luck would have it, the rain has stopped.
It's gonna make the going a little easier for me.

What's going on?
So they're running some tests right now.
They're not exactly quite sure what's going on.
So, unfortunately, I have some bad news.
We're not gonna continue the expedition with rpg.

Bryce: So rpg is in the hospital right now.
It's just too much of a liability to have him out here.
We only have three weeks.
We're not gonna continue the expedition with rpg.

Narrator: With less than three weeks to uncover
Evidence of bigfoot,
The team has been dealt a huge blow.
Bryce: After getting this far and doing the research,
Literally recruiting the best bigfoot experts in the world,
To have our researcher
Who has an encyclopedic knowledge of bigfoot
Just mysteriously go sick after the first night, I'm devastated.
I don't know what to say,
But what I do know is we'll definitely be continuing.
- Okay. - We got to go on without him.
I'm working on finding a replacement right now.
Just keep doing what you guys are doing.
That's what rpg would want.
Look, I don't know what caused rpg's condition,
But I do know this -- it's not gonna stop our expedition.
All right. - Thanks for letting us know.
Good luck. Stay safe. Yep.
Bryce: The team still have targets and points of interest to explore.
We are gonna keep moving forward.
What do I think happened?
I mean, witnesses have felt these same types
Of symptoms and experiences
When they've come into close contact with bigfoot.
Do I want to make that jump to the conclusion
That this could be bigfoot's use of infrasound?
No. But, look, I'm definitely not gonna rule it out.
Narrator: This season on "expedition bigfoot"...
Mireya: It seems like a really calm place,
But there's a feeling of being watched.
Man: Once you hear that roar, you just know it could
Rip you apart like a piece of paper.
Mireya: It feels like there's something else out there.

Holy... Shut them off.

Bryce: There we go. Here, right here.
It doesn't match any other known species.
Oh, my god.
Mireya: My mind is just completely blown.
We're really close, but we're running out of time.
- Something doesn't want us here. - This is a nest.
Mireya: Oh, my god.
Bryce: It knows we're here.
Did you hear that?
I've seen things out here
That I can't explain away with logic...
Hear that? ...And science.
What the hell have we just found?
Bryce: We have technology that no one else has.
We have every advantage that we could possibly hope for.
I feel like we are being led to this place.
All right, well... What is that?
I have no idea.

We're not alone here.
