WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.960 Now one of your pudding. I got a string going on here, something 2 00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.919 just cause my dog. Something killed your dog? My dog. We're flying 3 00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:10.160 through the or over the tree. I don't know how it did it, 4 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.960 Okay, Damn, I'm really confused. All I saw was my dog coming 5 00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.239 over the fence and he was dead. And once you hit the ground like, 6 00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:20.879 I didn't see any cars. All I saw was my dog coming over 7 00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:40.960 the fence. Sat, what are you putting? We got some wonder or 8 00:00:40.960 --> 00:00:51.960 something crawling around out here? Did you see what it was? Or was 9 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:54.759 it was? Standing enough? I'm out here looking through the window now and 10 00:00:54.759 --> 00:00:58.920 I don't see anything. I don't want to go outside, Jesus, Quice, 11 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:06.079 you better hello, hit the boddy out here? What quintin' out there? 12 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:07.959 I thought of a bit about Tech fort nine. I don't know. 13 00:01:08.200 --> 00:01:11.920 Easy ann out there? Yeah, I'm bulking right head he there, and 14 00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:15.760 thanks so much for joining me for the show. I wanted to share with 15 00:01:15.799 --> 00:01:19.359 you some really interesting stories that I've read over the past couple of weeks. 16 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.599 The first thing that you're going to hear here is a compilation of al buyin 17 00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:27.840 no Bigfoot stories. I actually had a guy on recently from North Carolina. 18 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:32.239 If you guys remember that a couple of weeks back who had seen a white 19 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:36.280 bigfoot sometime in the seventies when he was a child. I really find that 20 00:01:36.319 --> 00:01:40.599 interesting because the question always comes up for me, are they albinos? Is 21 00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.799 it just hair color? So I found this really cool compilation of stories and 22 00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:48.599 it sort of addresses whether these things are albinos or if it's just hair color 23 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:51.680 in the stories. But we'll get into that in just a second. Secondly, 24 00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:55.120 you're going to hear a story about the bride of Bigfoot, which is 25 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.799 a really interesting story that comes out of the seventies, where this lady claims 26 00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:02.040 that she was kidnapped in Hell by a bigfoot for like three days. Really 27 00:02:02.040 --> 00:02:07.200 interesting story. Could be a hoax, could be real. Not sure. 28 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.319 I'd love to hear what you guys think about it after you hear it. 29 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.319 Then we move into an interesting article that people have been posting around Facebook. 30 00:02:13.360 --> 00:02:16.039 I've seen it several times. I think Matt Moneymaker actually posted it. It's 31 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:21.639 about gigantopitheca is Blackie and when they actually went extinct. Over the years, 32 00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.280 I have certainly entertained the idea that maybe g Blackie was a good candidate for 33 00:02:25.319 --> 00:02:29.919 what we know as Bigfoot or sasquatch. Today, I'll let you get into 34 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:35.360 the article and see what you think about them going extinct even earlier than scientists 35 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.759 initially thought, and how that might affect whether they could still be around in 36 00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:43.560 the form of Bigfoot or sasquatch today. And then, last, but not 37 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.360 least, there's an article here about the actual discovery of Bigfoot. I thought 38 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:50.000 it was very interesting. I'd love to hear what you guys think about it. 39 00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.039 After you hear it, you can always send me emails Brian at Paranormal 40 00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.319 World Productions dot com. You can head over to the website and check it 41 00:02:55.360 --> 00:02:59.199 out, and you can also leave us a voicemail there. The button is 42 00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:00.639 right here in the show notes. We've made it easy for you. I'd 43 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:04.199 love to hear your thoughts on some of these articles and things that we're going 44 00:03:04.240 --> 00:03:07.560 to cover today. But without further ado, let's get right into it. 45 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:13.000 The rockstar of cryptids is by far none other than the legendary Bigfoot or Sasquatch. 46 00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.199 These hairy, massive man like beasts have been sited all over the United 47 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:20.360 States and indeed, in one form or other, all over the world. 48 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:23.680 And have remained a compelling mystery that continues to elude us. By far, 49 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:28.319 the most common description of these creatures is that of a hulking brute of a 50 00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:31.719 thing, standing upwards of eight to ten feet tall and covered with shaggy brown 51 00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:36.759 hair or fur, and this is perhaps the image most firmly etched into the 52 00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.520 public consciousness of these beasts. Yet there are reports out there intermingled with these, 53 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:45.000 that seem to point to these monsters exhibiting a good amount of variety. 54 00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:49.199 There have been reported black bigfoot, reddish bigfoot, and gray as well, 55 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:53.280 but perhaps the rarest of all are those accounts that describe bigfoot that are a 56 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.199 stark white in coloration. This latter is of special interest here, very rare 57 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.639 and very odd. And here we look at a selection of accounts of the 58 00:04:00.680 --> 00:04:06.840 elusive white Bigfoot. Probably the most well known series of sightings concerning what appears 59 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:11.879 to have been in albino bigfoot began back in nineteen seventy in the wilds of 60 00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:16.279 the state of Pennsylvania, mostly referred to as simply the Pennsylvanian white Bigfoot. 61 00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:20.720 The creatures were first seen by a witness named Annette b who saw one in 62 00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:25.920 the forest and described it as being about seven feet tall with matted, dirty 63 00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.839 white hair all over it. She would say of the creature, its eyes 64 00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:33.040 were dark and spaced far apart. Its white hair covered the lower half of 65 00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:38.480 its face. There was pinkish skin around the eyes and forehead. It looked 66 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.959 like its hair was a little longer on its head and hanging over its forehead 67 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:46.360 like bangs. Whatever it was stayed dormant for a while until nineteen seventy three, 68 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.720 when two young girls spotted an eight foot tall beast with shaggy white fur 69 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:56.800 and glowing red eyes in Beaver County. This report is particularly odd and surreal, 70 00:04:57.079 --> 00:05:00.480 as the creature was described as holding some sort of glowing or in its 71 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:04.040 massive hand. When the frightened girls told their father about it, he allegedly 72 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:09.199 went out looking for it, but could find no trace. Even More bizarrely, 73 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:13.040 a parry of white bigfoot like creatures would be seen later that same year 74 00:05:13.160 --> 00:05:16.680 near Uniontown, this time in conjunction with the UFO hovering over the pasture they 75 00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:20.199 were in. A local woman claimed to have shot at the creatures with a 76 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:25.079 shotgun, but said that it had had no effect. In two thousand and 77 00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.839 eight, there were reports of the white bigfoot rummaging about the rural area of 78 00:05:28.839 --> 00:05:32.160 Carbondale, Pennsylvania, and there were numerous other reports of seeing the creature in 79 00:05:32.199 --> 00:05:36.000 the same area at around this time. Around that same time, there were 80 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:40.959 also some reports of what appeared to be a smaller juvenile version of the creature 81 00:05:41.000 --> 00:05:45.240 as well. The beast was in particular said to roam about an old abandoned 82 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.839 mine reclamation site in the vicinity, and these sightings would continue on until as 83 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:54.120 recently as twenty ten, when a local man took some much discussed footage of 84 00:05:54.120 --> 00:05:58.360 the thing in his backyard. The footage in question has been widely criticized as 85 00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.000 being a hoax, with research a Scott Carpenter saying of it, in my 86 00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:05.319 opinion, this is a hoax. Some thought went into this to make it 87 00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:10.839 look realistic and believable. The person put on white makeup, then put on 88 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:14.959 some sort of white jacket on the head. A white mesh material was used 89 00:06:14.959 --> 00:06:18.399 that fit very tight. Using a flashlight with a video camera was the perfect 90 00:06:18.399 --> 00:06:23.800 way to cover any flaws and only showing the subject from the waist up since 91 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:28.120 no mask was used. Facial expressions and reaction to the light would look very 92 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:32.360 natural jerking. The flashlight also made the subject appear like it moved very fast. 93 00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:38.199 Regardless, the footage has managed to be much discussed. What was this 94 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:42.879 thing? Was it an albino bigfoot, a hoax, or something else? 95 00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.639 What was the white Bigfoot of Pennsylvania. Other states have had their own accounts 96 00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.480 of what seemed to be white Bigfoot as well. One account comes from the 97 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:55.519 state of West Virginia and was given by a woman known as Melissa, who 98 00:06:55.519 --> 00:06:59.199 says at the time she had been driving down an isolated country road with her 99 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.399 husband one earing. The night was dark and quiet, just the shadows of 100 00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:08.040 trees and flickering lanes lines floating past outside. But then out of the night 101 00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:11.759 ahead there bloomed the form of something crouching on the road, brought out of 102 00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.759 the dark by the approaching headlights. She says of her bizarre encounter. About 103 00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:19.120 fifty yards ahead of us was something in the road. It was on all 104 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:24.319 fours and was snow white. It was bigger than a dog, way bigger. 105 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:28.120 As we got closer, it turned and looked our way. Its mouth 106 00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:30.560 opened, and it stood up on two legs and began running across the road 107 00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:34.079 and up through the woods. I never said a thing. All I could 108 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:38.560 do was sit there, stunned. A few minutes later, Joe asked if 109 00:07:38.560 --> 00:07:42.160 I had seen what he had seen. Unable to answer him, I began 110 00:07:42.199 --> 00:07:46.680 to cry. Another West Virginia report comes from an area called Baker's Ridge and 111 00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.399 involves a college student who was watching a house for a family out on vacation. 112 00:07:51.160 --> 00:07:56.040 The atmosphere would have been quite spooky already, as the house was situated 113 00:07:56.079 --> 00:07:59.360 in the middle of nowhere in the woods, surrounded by trees in the day 114 00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.680 and in penetrable blackness at night, and a sense of foreboding at all hours, 115 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.040 but it would get even scarier still. One evening, amongst the cacophony 116 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.480 of the forest night outside, she heard some loud banging sounds which sounded like 117 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:16.160 someone or something rummaging around on the back porch. Thinking it was some animal 118 00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.079 like a raccoon, she went to show it off, but peering through the 119 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.000 window revealed two glowing red eyes peering right back, framed within a dark shape 120 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:28.279 around five feet in height. The mystery animal then ran at the house on 121 00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:31.840 two legs and began banging on the windows and walls as it let forth a 122 00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:37.320 furious howl. As it loomed past the thin pane of glass separating them, 123 00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:39.960 the witness could see that it was covered in long, scraggly white hair and 124 00:08:39.960 --> 00:08:45.840 had remarkably human like hands. After some time of lurking right outside the window, 125 00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.279 the thing slinked off into the night, shortly after she could hear it 126 00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:54.879 enthusiastically ransacking the garbage pails a bit further from the house before disappearing. When 127 00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.279 she inspected the area under the perceived safety of daylight, she discovered that whatever 128 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:03.759 it was had left behind footprints and muddy humanlike handprints streaked all over the windows, 129 00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:09.120 and garbage and other miscellaneous objects strewn about all over the place, with 130 00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.600 the garbage cans themselves crushed and twisted with great force. In two thousand and 131 00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:18.279 five, there was an interesting report. The witness is a woman in Lone, 132 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.600 del Missouri, who says that she had been visiting her parents along with 133 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.879 her four year old son at the time. On this day, she was 134 00:09:24.919 --> 00:09:28.120 sitting out on the porch of the rural property along with her son and her 135 00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:31.759 parents dog in mid afternoon in broad daylight. As she leisurely looked over the 136 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:35.639 quaint scenery she says she noticed what appeared to be a large man making his 137 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.799 way through the field nearby, which began to draw nearer to the trailer where 138 00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:43.639 they had been staying. The dog was apparently not happy with this, as 139 00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:48.799 it began to bark uncontrollably, and a woman was unsettled enough that she took 140 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.559 her son inside. She could see at this point that whatever it was was 141 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.080 not human, and she says of what happened next, I was absolutely astounded 142 00:09:56.120 --> 00:10:00.360 by what I was seeing. If not for the fact that the dog seeing 143 00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:03.919 it too, I would have wondered if my eyes and or brain was playing 144 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:07.879 tricks on me. I decided to be brave and opened the screen door just 145 00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.360 enough to stick my head outside. The thing, a lack of a known 146 00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.399 word to call what it was, was just walking on two legs, aimlessly, 147 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:18.799 not in a hurry. I could not find a reason as to why 148 00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.960 it came into the yard and why I was just looking around leisurely. There 149 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:26.639 was a wooden fence that was there mostly for decoration, and it was only 150 00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.919 about twenty feet long. The thing walked along next to it. My mother 151 00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.200 had some decorations of some sort hanging on the fence. The thing seemed to 152 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:39.120 look at those as though it was curious. The dog barking did not startle 153 00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.639 the creature. It just kept walking. That's when the thing looked at me. 154 00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:46.000 I just stood there, half afraid of its reaction and its next move, 155 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:50.480 but more curious than anything. My heart was racing. I held my 156 00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:54.440 son up to look at it. Also. After it looked at me and 157 00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:56.559 yet showed no fear, I had more time to study it, and I 158 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.759 was racking my brain to identify what it was that I was seeing. Here 159 00:11:01.879 --> 00:11:05.519 is the best description I can give. It was between four and six feet 160 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:09.080 tall, walking on two legs, covered from head to toe in very long 161 00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.440 white hair. Its face was mostly covered in white hair as well, except 162 00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:18.080 for its eyes and maybe its mouth. It did not have the snout like 163 00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.759 a dog. Its shape and build was that of a human's. I even 164 00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:24.320 compared it to a bear in my head, but there were not enough similarities. 165 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:28.519 This thing was not very animalistic in behavior. The way it walked and 166 00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.679 looked at me were more typical of human behaviors. Yet the way it wandered 167 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.000 and seemed oblivious to the man made things around it, like cars, the 168 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:41.360 trailer, even the fence was more like the characteristics of an animal. I 169 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.600 did not get the feeling that it was aggressive or wanting to cause harm, 170 00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.919 Yet because of the size and animalistic nature of it, I knew that it 171 00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:52.759 was strong and could hurt me, my son, or the dog. It 172 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.519 began to walk around the side of the garage, out of my sight, 173 00:11:56.960 --> 00:12:00.320 but closer towards the end of the trailer that had the bedroom my mind was 174 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:03.639 napping in. I ran down into the bedroom and began frantically looking out the 175 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.320 windows, searching to see where it had gone. I woke my mother up 176 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:11.360 in my tizzy and quickly told her what I had seen, and I wanted 177 00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.159 her to look. She was still half asleep and slow to process what I 178 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:18.759 was saying. I did not see where it went from there. I could 179 00:12:18.840 --> 00:12:20.919 not locate it through the windows, and I was much too afraid to go 180 00:12:22.039 --> 00:12:26.639 outside and look. From the state of Alabama, we have a report from 181 00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:31.720 the Alabama Bigfoot Society which allegedly occurred in twenty thirteen in the area of blot 182 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:35.159 County in central northern Alabama. The account was given by the son of a 183 00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:39.600 woman who had just purchased a new home in the wooded portion of the area 184 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.639 and moved in with her family. One day, the family was out cleaning 185 00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:46.240 and doing yard work when the woman's son came running up to say that there 186 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.519 was a giant creature in a ditch out back. The report goes on to 187 00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:54.960 say at first he thought it was a large man with the white hood over 188 00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.080 his head, and it severely frightened the young boy. They all went around 189 00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.240 the house to see if it was someone who intended to do harm, but 190 00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:05.159 the creature was well gone by now. Her son says the creature was in 191 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.440 a ditch, and that he and the thing called each other's attention at about 192 00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:13.519 the same time. They made a contact for a few moments. He says, 193 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.399 they looked at each other eye to eye, but that it made no 194 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:20.720 sound, nor did it make any threatening move toward him. It simply walked 195 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.519 slowly off into the dense forest. As it walked away, he could then 196 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:28.799 tell it was covered entirely with long, solid white hair. The long hair 197 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:31.000 fell over its face, and he could make out no other features than its 198 00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:35.720 eyes. He told them where the creature stood and how far up its head 199 00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:39.480 was. According to the bushes and trees, they estimated it to be about 200 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:43.159 nine feet tall. This was the only time he has seen the albino sasquatch. 201 00:13:45.360 --> 00:13:48.519 Another report from twenty thirteen comes from Mahanning County in the state of Ohio 202 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:54.320 and was reported on Crypto's Wology News. The witness claims that he was getting 203 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:56.919 his hunting gear out of his truck when he spotted a four foot tall ape 204 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:01.879 like creature with striking white hair, which he says ran away as he tried 205 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.639 to track it with the scope of his hunting rifle. He says, there 206 00:14:05.720 --> 00:14:09.159 was this white, fuzzy thing standing on two legs. It was looking at 207 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:11.799 me. It fled. Couldn't wrap my head around what the hell I just 208 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.840 saw. My hands kept shaking and didn't feel right putting a rifle up at 209 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:20.960 something I didn't understand. I would get within forty yards or so. It 210 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.480 would back up, then flee, then popped out a third time. Got 211 00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.679 weird feeling of cat and mouse. Animals don't act like this. He was 212 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.000 playing with me. I felt I was being lured into something. With creatures 213 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:37.480 still in sight, I turned and went home. Was this perhaps a juvenile 214 00:14:37.519 --> 00:14:41.840 albino bigfoot? In twenty fourteen, there was a rather bizarre report from the 215 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.919 state of Kansas, which was reported in the Christian County Headliner News in March 216 00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:50.639 of that year. A woman was driving along with her daughter on Highway sixty 217 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:54.840 one in mc pherson County when they saw something they could not explain. The 218 00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.399 report reads, there was a farmer tilling a field on the right side of 219 00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:03.360 the highway, possibly trying to create a barrier to stop a brush and timber 220 00:15:03.440 --> 00:15:07.240 fire that was burning out of control by a period of dry weather. The 221 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:11.240 area was under an open burning ban at the time. Suddenly, a large 222 00:15:11.279 --> 00:15:15.200 bipedal creature covered with white hair ran out into the road from the direction of 223 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.440 the fire, possibly to get out of its path. The daughter screamed and 224 00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:22.159 the driver caught a glimpse of the bigfoot as she passed it so close its 225 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:26.000 body filled the window. She estimated that it was about eight feet tall and 226 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:31.480 the hair was spiked as if treated with gel. She is a cosmotologist. 227 00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:35.759 One impressive feature was the large black eyes, which stood out in her mind 228 00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.559 due to their size and contrast with the white hair on its face. It 229 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:43.519 was actually on all fours when first seen, then stood up and ran several 230 00:15:43.559 --> 00:15:48.840 steps in an erect position and finally returned to its previous quadrupedal locomotion as it 231 00:15:48.960 --> 00:15:52.919 crossed the ditch and disappeared into the darkness. The detail of the spiked hair 232 00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:58.200 is particularly odd about this case, and one wonders what significance that has, 233 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:02.080 if any. We also have an unusual report from the state of Vermont, 234 00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.480 where in twenty fourteen, there was a sighting made in the vicinity of the 235 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.480 town of Shaftesbury. Cryptozoology News reported that the twenty year old witness had been 236 00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:14.320 out walking his dog when the creature in question came lumbering out of the woods 237 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:18.559 to cross the road right in front of him. The man explains, there 238 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:22.559 was an awful smell in the air. My dog kept barking. That's when 239 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:26.799 I thought that something wasn't right. The odour got more intense. I couldn't 240 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:29.879 believe it. I see what looks like a guy in a white costume or 241 00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:33.200 something running across the road towards the woods, but he or it was in 242 00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:37.600 no hurry. Finally, in the same year was another report from the area 243 00:16:37.679 --> 00:16:41.480 of Lichfield, Maine, where a construction worker claims to have seen a white 244 00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:45.360 bigfoot on Christmas Eve as he was taking his dog for a walk. The 245 00:16:45.480 --> 00:16:49.679 day is described as being foggy, and suddenly his dog began to get agitated 246 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.120 for no apparent reason, which is right about when the beast would make its 247 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:59.519 appearance. The witness would say of the encounter thusly, it moved fast and 248 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:03.960 like a hue. It was fat, huge, and it had white long 249 00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:07.279 hair everywhere. Look like a white bigfoot or something. No kidding, I 250 00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.799 never thought i'd get to see something like this. I've always laughed at all 251 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.599 these bigfoot nuts. I had my reasons. Now I guess I'm the crazy 252 00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.799 one here. Unless it was a very good hoax plate on me. That 253 00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.119 could be. But I tell you again, it ain't easy for a man 254 00:17:22.200 --> 00:17:26.680 to make those kind of moves that didn't look human to me. With such 255 00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.440 reports, we get a rare glimpse into another variety or spin on the typical 256 00:17:30.480 --> 00:17:33.319 bigfoot phenomena, and it seems to almost give more weight to these as living, 257 00:17:33.640 --> 00:17:37.799 breathing creatures in that they display this variety. But what are they exactly? 258 00:17:38.279 --> 00:17:42.559 Are they albino individuals, a subspecies, or what are they even real 259 00:17:42.640 --> 00:17:47.880 in any sense at all? One researcher by the name of Sam Updegrove has 260 00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:51.799 said of his thoughts on the matter, they do not appear to be albino 261 00:17:51.920 --> 00:17:56.079 individuals, since to my knowledge, the red eye coloration that is so typical 262 00:17:56.119 --> 00:18:00.240 of such creatures has never been reported. It has also been suggested that there 263 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:03.160 are older specimens who have gone through the same change in hair color that humans 264 00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.640 do, but if so, they get around nimbly enough to make us older 265 00:18:07.680 --> 00:18:11.920 folks green with envy. I guess we would then be reported as leprechorns. 266 00:18:11.200 --> 00:18:15.200 It seems to me that the most likely explanation is that bigfoot like humans are 267 00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:19.960 simply prone to variation in hair color, and the possibilities include a limited number 268 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:26.839 of white haired individuals, albinos, anomalously colored or otherwise. Reports of white 269 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:30.519 bigfoot have a certain allure to them. These are the rare of the rare, 270 00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.240 possible strange instances of unique individuals among a race of creatures that are already 271 00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:38.319 elusive enough, and the white bigfoot have an almost mythical quality to them. 272 00:18:40.039 --> 00:18:44.480 It poses an interesting question as to just what variety of physical differences we could 273 00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:48.599 expect to see with such creatures, and although bigfoot are far from confirmed to 274 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:52.680 exist, it adds a layer to the mystery of what these mystery beasts are 275 00:18:52.759 --> 00:18:57.440 all about, the bizarre case of the bride of Bigfoot. Tales of Bigfoot 276 00:18:57.519 --> 00:19:00.920 have, over the years encompassed a wide range of phenomena, ranging from the 277 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:06.279 somewhat plausible to the decidedly far out. We have sightings of what could be 278 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.599 actual living creatures, interspersed with wild stories of a more paranormal nature, and 279 00:19:10.759 --> 00:19:15.359 everything in between. One area that has long been thought of as particularly fringe, 280 00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:18.759 even within the field of cryptozoology, is that of those individuals who claim 281 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:23.039 to have been actually kidnapped and held captive by these beasts. And one really 282 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:29.480 weird story comes to us from the wilds of northern California. Back in nineteen 283 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.480 seventy six, twenty five year old Sherry Darville of Reading in Shasta County, 284 00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.400 California, was an amateur filmmaker who had become very interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon. 285 00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.839 At the time, she was dating a man named Ron Olson, whose 286 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.039 father was Frank Olson of the Ane film distributing company owned by Russell Niehart, 287 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:52.119 Bishop of the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City in Utah. This already seems 288 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:56.359 a bit odd and making it even odder was that Niehardt's good friend Jerry Romney, 289 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.279 who was also a big shot at A and E, had become a 290 00:19:59.319 --> 00:20:03.440 bit notory and cryptosology circles for claiming to have been the guy in the ape 291 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:07.559 suit in the famous Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot film. And not only that, but 292 00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:11.960 he had infamously claimed to have signed the payroll checks for Roger Patterson from July 293 00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.559 to October first, nineteen sixty seven. So far, so weird, and 294 00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.680 it is unknown just how much this has to do with what was to come 295 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.559 for Darvell, but she certainly already had her foot in the world of Bigfoot, 296 00:20:22.880 --> 00:20:27.160 and not necessarily in a good way. In May of nineteen seventy six, 297 00:20:27.440 --> 00:20:32.640 Darvill embarked on an excursion into the wilds of the Six Rivers National Forest 298 00:20:32.720 --> 00:20:36.440 in Eureka, Humboldt County, California, along with a group of others, 299 00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:41.440 including her boyfriend Olson and two other filmmakers, Ed Bush and Terry Gaston. 300 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.920 Their mission was to capture footage of the elusive sasquatch, which was well known 301 00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.440 for being sighted in the region and which at the time had been cited several 302 00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:52.680 times in the area. Indeed, they were headed towards the Bluff Creek area, 303 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:57.519 which is famously the location of the Patterson Gimlind bigfoot footage. It seemed 304 00:20:57.599 --> 00:21:02.079 like as promising a place as any to go hunting for bigfoot, and by 305 00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:06.400 all accounts, they would get more than they bargained for. At some point 306 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:11.000 during the expedition, Darvel allegedly got separated from the group and seemed to vanish 307 00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:14.920 without a trace for three days. A massive search was carried out in the 308 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:18.759 area, but no sign of her could be found. On the third day 309 00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:22.720 of the search, something very strange would happen when Darvel walked into a ski 310 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:26.160 lodge far from where she had disappeared, looking dazed, disheveled, and carrying 311 00:21:26.240 --> 00:21:30.200 what was reported as a bushel of lilies and twigs. At first, she 312 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.960 seemed too disoriented to really talk about where she had been, but as she 313 00:21:34.079 --> 00:21:38.519 gained lucidity and started to respond to questioning, Darvel began to weave a very 314 00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.759 bizarre tale. She claimed that on the day she had gotten separated from her 315 00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:45.799 group, it had been about dusk, and as she wandered about, she 316 00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:51.000 had encountered none other than a hulking bigfoot there in the woods. The hairy 317 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.279 giant reportedly had just stood there staring at her for a few moments before grabbing 318 00:21:55.359 --> 00:21:59.640 her and dragging her off through the forest to what she called its den once 319 00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.599 at the day. For the next few days, she claimed that the Bigfoot 320 00:22:02.640 --> 00:22:06.759 had kept her captive, bringing her gifts of berries, flowers, stones, 321 00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:10.359 pebbles, and dead birds in what she had taken to be a gesture of 322 00:22:10.400 --> 00:22:14.440 affection. She says that she was only able to escape one day when the 323 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:18.359 Sasquatch had fallen asleep, after which she snuck out and found her way to 324 00:22:18.440 --> 00:22:22.839 that lodge. When the incredibly outlandis story made the rounds, she was soon 325 00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:26.039 being called the bride of Bigfoot. But authorities not only did not take any 326 00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:30.319 of this seriously at all, deeming it to be a prank, but it 327 00:22:30.400 --> 00:22:33.240 also even led to a court case in which Humboldt County tried to sue Shasta 328 00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:37.880 County to make them pay part of the eleven thousand, six hundred and thirteen 329 00:22:37.000 --> 00:22:41.640 dollar cost of the search operation. One report in the February eighth, nineteen 330 00:22:41.680 --> 00:22:45.880 seventy eight edition of the Record Searchlight newspaper would say of the fascical case, 331 00:22:47.559 --> 00:22:52.480 Adel Nort County Superior Court judge, who obviously doesn't believe Bigfoot exists as ruled 332 00:22:52.519 --> 00:22:56.799 that Humboldt County must pay the eleven thousand, six hundred and thirteen dollar cost 333 00:22:56.880 --> 00:23:00.200 of a nineteen seventy six search for an alleged Bigfoot kidnap victim by the name 334 00:23:00.240 --> 00:23:06.160 of Sherry Darvelle. Judge Frank Peterson commented in making the ruling that the search 335 00:23:06.240 --> 00:23:10.960 for Bigfoot is at least an exercise in futility, and said he'd hiked the 336 00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:15.640 hills and mountains of northern California for almost fifty years, and the biggest footprint 337 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.559 I ever saw was my brother Bob's. Humboldt County Council Raymond Schneider argued before 338 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:26.079 Peterson that state law required Shasta County to reimburse Humboldt County because the case involved 339 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.559 search and rescue for a Shasta County resident. Shasta County Council Robert Rieburg counted 340 00:23:30.599 --> 00:23:36.119 that miss Darvale's disappearance was at best a real kidnapping, and even the Humboldt 341 00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:41.839 County officers reports indicated they were skeptical about the abduction reports. Judge Peterson ruled 342 00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:45.759 that a county is entitled to reimbursement by another county only for the search and 343 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:51.599 rescue operations for lost persons or persons in danger of their lives, and not 344 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:56.440 for investigations of crimes. The judge ruled that the term in danger of their 345 00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.400 lives applies to natural causes such as floods, heavy snows, or other calamities 346 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:06.599 not caused by other human beings. Reeburg said he was pleased with the judge's 347 00:24:06.680 --> 00:24:11.440 decision, but he said he sympathizes with the dilemmas faced by Humboldt County officials, 348 00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:15.279 ranging from whether to begin the search for miss Darvell to try to determine 349 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.480 who should pay the costs of the search. Reerburg said that if Humboldt County 350 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:23.599 authorities had been willing to stipulate that Bigfoot is a Shasta County resident, negotiations 351 00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:29.119 over the costs might have been possible. Making it all even more bizarre was 352 00:24:29.160 --> 00:24:33.160 that Darvell's fellow filmmakers Bush and Gaston would later claim that they had actually captured 353 00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:37.880 footage of the Bigfoot carrying her away up the mountain, although they refused to 354 00:24:37.960 --> 00:24:41.720 release it. In the end, Darvell would sell her story to the Weekly 355 00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:47.039 World News, that last bastion of quality journalism sarcasm heavily implied, of course, 356 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.319 for two hundred and fifty dollars, and it would all sort of eventually 357 00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.480 fade away, the common view being that it was all a publicity stunt. 358 00:24:55.039 --> 00:24:59.160 However, Darvell would continue to insist that she was telling the truth. The 359 00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.599 whole thing is on. I certainly are hoax, yet it is so bizarre 360 00:25:02.680 --> 00:25:07.000 and so adamantly defended by the one involved, its managed to achieve a certain 361 00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:11.079 cult status within the history of bigfoot phenomena, and whether any of it is 362 00:25:11.200 --> 00:25:17.160 true or not, it remains a singularly wild tale. Indeed, the extinction 363 00:25:17.279 --> 00:25:22.319 of the giant ape a long standing mystery solved. Giants once roamed the cast 364 00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:26.559 plains of southern China, three meter tall apes weighing in at two hundred fifty 365 00:25:26.640 --> 00:25:32.559 kilograms. These very distant primate relatives, Gigantopithcus Blackie, went extinct before humans 366 00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:36.319 arrived in the region, with few clues to why and so far, leaving 367 00:25:36.359 --> 00:25:41.160 around two thousand fossilized teeth and four jawbones as the only signs of their existence. 368 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:45.519 New evidence from this region published in Nature uncovered by a team of Chinese, 369 00:25:45.599 --> 00:25:51.359 Australian, and US researches, demonstrates beyond doubt that the largest primate to 370 00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:55.519 walk the Earth when extinct between two hundred ninety five thousand and two hundred fifteen 371 00:25:55.519 --> 00:26:00.720 thousand years ago, unable to adapt its food preferences and behaviors, and vulnerable 372 00:26:00.799 --> 00:26:04.279 to the changing climates which sealed its fate. The story of G. Blackie 373 00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:08.200 is an enigma in paleontology. How could such a mighty creature go extinct at 374 00:26:08.240 --> 00:26:12.920 a time when other primates were adapting and surviving. The unresolved cause of its 375 00:26:12.960 --> 00:26:18.839 disappearance has become the holy grail in this discipline, says paleontologist and co lead 376 00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:25.480 author Professor Yinkijang from the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleanthropology at the Chinese Academy 377 00:26:25.519 --> 00:26:30.000 of Sciences. The IVPP has been excavating for G. Blackie evidence in this 378 00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:36.319 region for over ten years, but without solid dating and a consistent environmental analysis, 379 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.680 the cause of its extinction had eluded us. Definitive evidence revealing the story 380 00:26:41.759 --> 00:26:45.359 of the Giant apes extinction has come from a large scale project collecting evidence from 381 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:51.160 twenty two cave sites spread across a wide region of Guangxi Province in southern China. 382 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:55.960 The foundation of this study was the dating. It's a major feat to 383 00:26:56.039 --> 00:27:00.559 present a defined cause for the extinction of a species, but establishing the exact 384 00:27:00.640 --> 00:27:03.720 time when a species disappears from the fossil record gives us a target time frame 385 00:27:03.799 --> 00:27:11.599 for an environmental reconstruction and behavior assessment, says co lead author Markwarie University geocrinologist 386 00:27:11.640 --> 00:27:17.440 Associate Professor Kira Westerway. Without robust dating, you were simply looking for clues 387 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:23.240 in the wrong places. Six Australian universities contributed to the project. Marquarie University, 388 00:27:23.440 --> 00:27:30.279 Southern Cross University, Wollongong University and the University of Queensland used multiple techniques 389 00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:34.400 to date samples. Southern Cross also mapped G. Blackie teeth to extract information 390 00:27:34.599 --> 00:27:40.839 on the apes behaviours. Aan U and Flinders University studied the pollen and fossil 391 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:45.200 bearing sediments in the cave, respectively, to reconstruct the environments in which G. 392 00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.200 Blackie thrived and then disappeared. Six different dating techniques were applied to the 393 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:56.599 cave sediments and fossils, producing one hundred and fifty seven radiometric ages. These 394 00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:00.960 were combined with eight sources of environmental and behavioral evidence and applied to eleven caves 395 00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:06.119 containing evidence of G. Blackie, and also to eleven caves of a similar 396 00:28:06.200 --> 00:28:11.920 age range where no G. Blackie evidence was found. Luminescence dating, which 397 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:15.920 measures a light sensitive signal found in the burial sediments that encase the G. 398 00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:21.480 Blackie fossils, was the primary technique, supported by uranium series US and electron 399 00:28:21.559 --> 00:28:26.960 spin resonans uses dating of the G. Blackie teeth themselves. By direct dating 400 00:28:27.000 --> 00:28:32.200 the fossil remains, we confirmed their age alignes with the luminescence sequence in the 401 00:28:32.279 --> 00:28:36.759 sediments where they were found, giving us a comprehensive and reliable chronology for the 402 00:28:36.839 --> 00:28:42.000 extinction of G. Blackie, says Southern Cross University geochronologist Associate Professor Renaud Joann's 403 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:48.839 Boyer. Using detailed pollen analysis, fauna reconstructions, stable isotope analysis of the 404 00:28:48.920 --> 00:28:52.640 teeth, and a detailed analysis of the cave sediments at a micro level, 405 00:28:53.000 --> 00:28:57.480 the team established the environmental conditions leading up to when G. Blackie went extinct. 406 00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.119 Then, using te trace element and dental microware textual analysis, of the 407 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:07.000 ape's teeth. The team modeled G. Blackie's behavior while it was flourishing compared 408 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:12.240 to during the species' demise. Teeth provide a staggering insight into the behavior of 409 00:29:12.279 --> 00:29:18.039 the species, indicating stress, diversity of food sources, and repeated behaviors, 410 00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:22.799 says Associate Professor Juann's Boyour. The findings show G. Blackie went extinct between 411 00:29:22.839 --> 00:29:27.000 two hundred ninety five thousand and two hundred fifteen thousand years ago, much earlier 412 00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:32.559 than previously assumed. Before this time, G. Blackie flourished in a rich 413 00:29:32.640 --> 00:29:37.359 and diverse forest. By seven hundred thousand, six hundred thousand years ago, 414 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:41.000 the environment became more variable due to the increase in the strength of the seasons, 415 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:48.000 causing a change in the structure of the forest. Communities. Orangutans Genus 416 00:29:48.079 --> 00:29:52.759 Pongo, a close relative of G. Blackie, adapted their size, behavior, 417 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:56.720 and habitat preferences as conditions changed. In comparison, G. Blackie relied 418 00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:02.440 on a less nutritious backup food source when and its preferences were unavailable, decreasing 419 00:30:02.519 --> 00:30:07.359 the diversity of its food. The ape became less mobile at a reduced geographic 420 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:12.240 range for foraging and faced chronic stress and dwindling numbers. G Blackie was the 421 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:18.880 ultimate specialist compared to the more agile adapters like orangutans, and this ultimately led 422 00:30:18.920 --> 00:30:23.799 to its demise, says Professor Jang. Associate Professor Westway says, with the 423 00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.960 thread of a sixth mass extinction event looming over us, there is an urgent 424 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:34.359 need to understand why species go extinct. Exploring the reasons for past unresolved extinctions 425 00:30:34.440 --> 00:30:38.680 gives us a good starting point to understand primate resilience and the fate of other 426 00:30:38.799 --> 00:30:45.920 large animals in the past and future. Bigfoot the implications of discovery. Someone 427 00:30:45.960 --> 00:30:51.440 asked me just recently, what will happen if one day we find conclusive evidence 428 00:30:51.480 --> 00:30:56.359 that Bigfoot really does exist? While the first and quite natural assumption that springs 429 00:30:56.400 --> 00:30:59.519 to my mind is that those of us who spend so much of our time 430 00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:03.039 looking for such monstrous things will finally get vindication that we weren't wasting our precious 431 00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:07.640 time after all. But there are bigger issues at stake than that. Actually, 432 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:12.920 they are much bigger and far more serious than the average cryptozoologist getting congratulated 433 00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:18.720 on a job well done. Many eye witnesses claim Bigfoot, when seen up 434 00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.079 close and personal, appears to have definitively human characteristics, and particularly so in 435 00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:27.440 its facial appearance. On this very same track, what if Bigfoot is not 436 00:31:27.519 --> 00:31:32.839 an unknown ape but actually some sort of proto human, an early offshoot of 437 00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:37.039 the human race that, against all the odds and countless millennia, has survived 438 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.559 extinction and avoided capture. If such is the case, does that mean they 439 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.200 should be given rights and recognize status as citizens of the United States. That 440 00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:48.480 may sound laughable, crazy, and extreme to some of you reading this, 441 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.680 but given the theoretical possibilities cited above, can we actually rule out such a 442 00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:59.680 remote possibility ever becoming a reality? And what if some over eager hunter decided 443 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:02.240 one to shoot one of these creatures. Having the head of a deer on 444 00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:06.880 your living room wall is one thing, but it's quite another to have the 445 00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.079 head of a primitive man mounted right next to it in such a situation. 446 00:32:10.319 --> 00:32:15.039 I don't rule out the possibility that if someone did shoot and kill a Bigfoot, 447 00:32:15.359 --> 00:32:17.480 and it was shown to be genetically linked to us in some capacity, 448 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.920 then murder charges might be looming just around the corner for our unfortunate hunter. 449 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.880 Then there's the matter of where the creatures live. If Bigfoot one day is 450 00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:31.160 proved to exist and is given some degree of legal protection and status as a 451 00:32:31.200 --> 00:32:36.599 result, what are the locations that it inhabits? Might they too become protected? 452 00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:39.039 Could they even become out of bounds to just about each and every one 453 00:32:39.119 --> 00:32:44.640 of us. Such a situation might mean no more picnics, no more strolls 454 00:32:44.680 --> 00:32:47.240 in the woods, no more camping, and no more hunting, just in 455 00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:52.480 case someone mistakenly shot and killed a bigfoot while out hunting for something else. 456 00:32:52.279 --> 00:32:57.519 We could even go down a distinctly conspiratorial path and suggest that some of the 457 00:32:57.599 --> 00:33:00.359 stories about certain elements of the U. S. Government knowing that Bigfoot is 458 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:07.319 real but hiding the facts from the public are absolutely and incredibly true. After 459 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:10.799 all, such secrecy and silence doesn't necessarily mean that the government has discovered some 460 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:15.680 dark and deep secret about Bigfoot. Rather, the closed mouth approach might very 461 00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:21.599 well stem from a fear of the hypothetical situations are described above actually developing in 462 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:25.799 the real world. I sincerely hope that one day we will finally and unequivocally 463 00:33:27.039 --> 00:33:30.599 know the truth behind the Bigfoot phenomenon, and we will have an answer with 464 00:33:30.759 --> 00:33:35.039 regard to what these creatures are or are not. But I strongly suspect that 465 00:33:35.119 --> 00:33:37.920 if that day does arrive, the controversy won't be over. In fact, 466 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:44.160 I suspect it will have barely begun. They say, you don't have a 467 00:33:44.319 --> 00:34:20.360 go home, but you can't stay steps step Joy, this chard, that 468 00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:28.199 chart, everything came right back, right back Joy for me, Joy stay 469 00:34:28.559 --> 00:35:20.519 right, you come it right away.
