We're 29 00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:39.760 venturing deep into the rugged landscapes of Scotland, a land 30 00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:44.359 steeped in legend, where ancient myths intertwine with modern day mysteries. 31 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:47.560 But we're not here for tales of knights and castles. 32 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:53.680 No Tonight. We're searching for something wilder, something elusive, something 33 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.480 that has haunted the highlands and forests for centuries. You've 34 00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:02.000 heard of Sasquatch, the towering shadow figure of North America's forests. 35 00:02:02.599 --> 00:02:05.599 You've heard of the Yetti, the legendary snow dweller of 36 00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.879 the Himalayas. But what if I told you that Scotland 37 00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:12.520 has its own history of strange bipedal creatures lurking in 38 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:16.639 its misty hills and dense woodlands. Imagine if the stories 39 00:02:16.639 --> 00:02:21.240 of Scotland's wild men weren't just myths. Ancient Celtic folklore 40 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.919 speaks of towering, hairy beings that roamed the land, known 41 00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:28.280 as the fear Liath, the Gray Man of Ben mc Dewey. 42 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.400 Hikers and mountaineers have reported an eerie presence, shadowy figures 43 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:37.120 and even bone chilling howls echoing through the Cairngorm Mountains. 44 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.960 But the stories don't stop there. From the sprawling forests 45 00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:44.080 of the Highlands to the remote isles, modern day witnesses 46 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.639 have come forward with startling encounters. People claim to have 47 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:51.240 seen massive ape like creatures watching them from the tree line, 48 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.199 vanishing in the blink of an eye. Some say they've 49 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.080 heard guttural growls in the dead of night. Others have 50 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.520 found giant footprints pressed into the damp Scottish soil. You're 51 00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:04.800 probably wondering why these stories persist. Why in a world 52 00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.080 of technology and skepticism, reports of bigfoot like beings continue 53 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:13.159 to emerge from Scotland's wilderness. That's what we're here to explore. 54 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.680 So settle in, dim the lights and prepare yourself for 55 00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.479 a journey into the unknown, because tonight I'm bringing you 56 00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:23.199 real encounters from people who swear they came face to 57 00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:27.360 face with something that defies logic. The Carmelie eye shine 58 00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:31.039 and a creature in the road. Hello, I'd like to 59 00:03:31.080 --> 00:03:33.719 share an experience I had a few years ago. I 60 00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:37.199 never really told anyone about it. Talking about bigfoot tends 61 00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.599 to make people think you're crazy. But recently I learned 62 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:43.159 that two other sightings have been reported near a quarry 63 00:03:43.280 --> 00:03:46.599 just outside of Carmeli. That caught my attention because I 64 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.919 live very close to that area. It happened during the 65 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:53.240 winter of twenty twelve or twenty thirteen, one of the 66 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.680 harshest winters in recent memory in Carmilli. The snow was 67 00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:00.719 about a foot deep on flat ground and piled into 68 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:04.639 massive drifts in places. I was out walking the family 69 00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:07.199 dog along a dirt track that runs between the main 70 00:04:07.319 --> 00:04:10.719 road and a wooded area further south, passing through a 71 00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.280 stretch of farm plots. About halfway down the track, I 72 00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:18.839 noticed something strange, a massive footprint in the snow. It 73 00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:21.720 had softened slightly from the snowfall, but it was still 74 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.879 clear enough to make out, unlike the mprint of a 75 00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.240 shoe or a boot. This was the shape of a 76 00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:31.600 bare foot, just much much larger. It was about one 77 00:04:31.639 --> 00:04:33.759 and a half times the length of my own boot, 78 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:36.240 which put it at roughly a foot and a half long, 79 00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:39.879 judging by the direction it faced. Whatever had left it 80 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:42.759 had walked from one field to the other, cutting across 81 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.360 the road at an angle. But here's the part that 82 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:48.120 really stuck with me. The road at that point was 83 00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.759 only about four feet wide due to the snow drifts, 84 00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:54.360 and yet there was only a single footprint. Whatever left 85 00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:57.040 it must have been huge, with a stride long enough 86 00:04:57.040 --> 00:05:00.519 to cross the entire road in one step. I searched 87 00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:03.680 for more prints, but couldn't find any. My best guess 88 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.079 is that the strong wind had blown fresh snow over 89 00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.920 the others, filling them in and hiding them. The footprint 90 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.000 I found must have been in a more sheltered spot, 91 00:05:12.319 --> 00:05:15.600 protected just enough for it to remain visible. At the time, 92 00:05:15.639 --> 00:05:18.079 I tried not to think too much of it. There 93 00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:20.759 could have been plenty of explanations, I reasoned, so I 94 00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.959 shrugged it off and continued on my walk. But when 95 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.040 I reached the wooded area at the end of the track, 96 00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:30.439 everything changed. The area was thick with low scrubby bushes, 97 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.160 which because of the deep snow, stood nearly five feet tall, 98 00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:37.399 almost up to my neck. As soon as we entered 99 00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:40.920 the woods, my dog reacted before I even saw anything, 100 00:05:41.240 --> 00:05:44.639 she had already spotted it. She started barking and lunging, 101 00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:47.319 behaving just like the dogs described in one of the 102 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:51.759 other Carmeli reports. Then I heard it, a deep, resonant 103 00:05:51.839 --> 00:05:56.519 oh sound, long and drawn out. It wasn't like anything 104 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.720 i'd heard before. The moment that sound filled the air, 105 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:04.079 my dog, who had been barking furiously, suddenly stopped. Her 106 00:06:04.199 --> 00:06:08.839 entire demeanor changed. She started squeaking and whining, utterly terrified. 107 00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:12.360 And then I saw it. Just as I was about 108 00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:15.360 to turn back, for my dog's sake, and honestly, for 109 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.800 my own, a massive figure rose up from behind one 110 00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.839 of the bushes. It towered at least three heads above 111 00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:24.839 the top of the bush, far taller than any person. 112 00:06:25.560 --> 00:06:29.800 Its shoulders were disproportionately broad, its neck thick, and its 113 00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:33.879 body was covered in dark, almost black fur. The way 114 00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:36.560 the snow reflected off its eyes made them stand out, 115 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.600 almost glowing against the dim winter light, even though the 116 00:06:40.639 --> 00:06:44.040 snow in the air made visibility slightly hazy. The creature 117 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.680 was only five meters in front of me. There was 118 00:06:46.720 --> 00:06:51.120 no mistaking its sheer size. It dwarfed me. That was it. 119 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:55.279 My dog bolted, and without hesitation, I ran after her. 120 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:59.240 I didn't look back. Since that day, I've cautiously returned 121 00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:01.560 to the track a few times, but I've never seen 122 00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.959 any trace of the creature again. I've always been skeptical 123 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:07.879 of things like this, but experiences like these don't need 124 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.839 to happen more than once to change your mind. I 125 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:13.800 never planned to tell this story, but after discovering that 126 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:16.839 others have had similar encounters in the area, I felt 127 00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:21.240 compelled to share it. Maybe, just maybe there's something out 128 00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:24.720 there that we haven't yet discovered. There were two other 129 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:27.240 incidents around that time, though I feel they're a bit 130 00:07:27.279 --> 00:07:30.800 more tenuous. Still, I'm sharing them in case someone else 131 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.360 remembers a similar experience. The first happened late one night 132 00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:37.279 while we were driving down an empty road. As we 133 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.839 approached a turn. Just as we were about to turn 134 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:42.720 right onto the track, I saw a figure further up 135 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:48.000 the road standing there facing us. He, or rather it, 136 00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:52.120 was looking directly into the car's headlights. I couldn't make 137 00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.680 out any clear details, but I could see the shape 138 00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.839 of a humanoid figure. What really stood out was the 139 00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.600 orange eyeshine reflecting from the line heights. It didn't move, 140 00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:05.120 didn't react, just stood there in the middle of the 141 00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:08.399 road watching us. At the time, I told myself it 142 00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:12.079 was probably just a person, but looking back, something about 143 00:08:12.120 --> 00:08:15.680 it felt off. The final incident happened while we were 144 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:19.480 out picking wild raspberries deep in the woods. We suddenly 145 00:08:19.480 --> 00:08:23.560 heard a sound, a long, deep wail, echoing from somewhere 146 00:08:23.600 --> 00:08:26.480 far off. The adults in the group all looked at 147 00:08:26.519 --> 00:08:30.759 each other, acknowledging the strange sound. They even commented on it, 148 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:33.799 wondering what it could be. But after a moment, they 149 00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:36.000 shrugged it off and went back to what they were doing, 150 00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:39.200 as if it were nothing. I'm not so sure it 151 00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:43.519 was nothing. The monster of Glamis Who was the unknown Prisoner? 152 00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.639 The first reports of Glamis Castle's unknown prisoner seemed to 153 00:08:47.720 --> 00:08:51.000 date back to the eighteen forties. In nineteen oh eight, 154 00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:54.440 a writer for Notes and Queries referenced these accounts, stirring 155 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:58.039 up renewed interest. Just who this elusive captive might have 156 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:02.039 been became the subject of much speculation. It was widely 157 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:03.799 believed that he must have been a member of the 158 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.480 Beau's Lyon family, possibly the first born son of the 159 00:09:07.480 --> 00:09:11.759 eleventh Earl or the heir of that earl's son, Lord Glamis. 160 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.200 Supporters of this theory point to Douglas's Scott's Peerage, which 161 00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:20.240 records that after Lord Glamis married Charlotte Grimstead in eighteen twenty, 162 00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:23.519 their first child was a son, born and died on 163 00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:27.039 the twenty first of October eighteen twenty one. But what 164 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:30.320 if that child didn't die so quickly or so conveniently, 165 00:09:30.919 --> 00:09:34.039 What if he had survived hidden away somewhere deep inside 166 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:38.519 the castle. Several Victorian era guests at Glamis became obsessed 167 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.519 with uncovering the Earl's secret. By the late nineteenth century, 168 00:09:42.679 --> 00:09:45.679 rumors were widespread that the Bow's Lions had a child 169 00:09:45.879 --> 00:09:48.879 who was born so horribly deformed that he could never 170 00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:52.600 be allowed to inherit the title. Some believe that though 171 00:09:52.639 --> 00:09:56.159 his mind was sound, his body was so grotesquely twisted 172 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.320 that he was kept out of sight for life. This 173 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:02.000 might sound like something out of a Gothic novel, but 174 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:05.639 there is historical precedent for the bows Laon family treating 175 00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:10.240 certain relatives in ways that outsiders would consider harsh. For example, 176 00:10:10.519 --> 00:10:14.279 after World War One, Catherine and Narissa Bo's lion cousins 177 00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:18.200 of Queen Elizabeth I, were born with mental disabilities. They 178 00:10:18.200 --> 00:10:22.240 spent their entire lives locked away in hospitals, completely ignored 179 00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:25.919 by their family. What this so called monster of Glamous 180 00:10:26.039 --> 00:10:29.600 might have looked like remains a mystery tales tale of 181 00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:33.480 strange shadows seen on the castle battlements, particularly along a 182 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:38.399 section ominously known as the mad Earl's Walk. One particularly 183 00:10:38.519 --> 00:10:42.279 chilling account dates back to eighteen sixty five. A workman 184 00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.360 at the castle accidentally stumbled upon a hidden door that 185 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.399 opened into a long passage at the far end of 186 00:10:48.440 --> 00:10:52.279 the corridor. He saw something, but before he could investigate further, 187 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.240 he reported the discovery to the Clerk of Works. Soon after, 188 00:10:56.480 --> 00:11:00.200 he was strongly encouraged to immigrate to Australia, his passage 189 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:04.600 paid for by an unusually eager earl. Other nineteenth century 190 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:09.279 reports described the monster as resembling a human toad. The 191 00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.519 only truly detailed description of the prisoner came much later, 192 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:16.480 in the nineteen sixties, from the writer James Wentworth Day, 193 00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.799 who spent time at Glamis while researching the Bow's Lion 194 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:23.480 family history. According to Wentworth Day, the Earl and his 195 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:26.840 relatives shared a legend with him. A monster was born 196 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:30.480 into the family. He was the heir, a creature fearful 197 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:34.639 to behold. It was impossible to allow this deformed caricature 198 00:11:34.639 --> 00:11:38.440 of humanity to be seen, even by their friends. His 199 00:11:38.639 --> 00:11:42.600 chest was an enormous barrel harry as a doormat, His 200 00:11:42.679 --> 00:11:45.399 head ran straight into his shoulders, and his arms and 201 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.840 legs were toy like. But despite his grotesque appearance, the 202 00:11:49.960 --> 00:11:54.519 child was raised to adulthood, kept hidden and occasionally exercised. 203 00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:59.080 That responsibility fell to the factor, the trusted overseer of 204 00:11:59.080 --> 00:12:02.919 the estate. If Glamy's Castle does have a hidden chamber, 205 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:07.679 its location remains unknown. Estate records confirmed the construction of 206 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:10.159 a concealed room adjacent to the charter room at the 207 00:12:10.159 --> 00:12:13.720 base of the tower, but there could be more. Lord 208 00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.720 Ernest Hamilton, an aristocratic guest, once claimed to have discovered 209 00:12:17.720 --> 00:12:20.440 a hidden passage beneath a trap door in the Blue 210 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.960 Room dressing room. Others speculate that the chapel holds the secret. 211 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:28.039 A report from the New York Sun in nineteen o 212 00:12:28.159 --> 00:12:32.000 four tells an even stranger tale. One evening, a young 213 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:36.000 doctor staying at Glamy's Castle professionally returned to his room 214 00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:39.039 to find that the carpet had been taken up and relaid. 215 00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.240 Something seemed off. The pattern of the carpet didn't match 216 00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:46.679 at one end of the room. Curious, he moved the furniture, 217 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.919 lifted the carpet and uncovered a trap door. Prying it open, 218 00:12:51.120 --> 00:12:54.600 he found himself in a hidden passage. Following the passage, 219 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.840 he reached a cement wall, the surface still soft enough 220 00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:00.720 to leave the imprint of a finger. He returned to 221 00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:04.639 his room unsettled. The next morning he received a check 222 00:13:04.679 --> 00:13:08.200 for his services, along with an urgent message A carriage 223 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.000 was waiting to take him to the station for the 224 00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:14.159 first train out bigfoot type creature on ar Broth Road. 225 00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:17.279 I'm from Dundee and I wanted to share something I 226 00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:20.080 saw a long time ago. At the time, I was 227 00:13:20.080 --> 00:13:23.000 in my twenties, maybe a little younger, and I had 228 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.159 no idea what it was. But looking back now, I 229 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:28.399 can say without a doubt that I came face to 230 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:32.399 face with a bigfoot. I know how this sounds, Honestly, 231 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.039 I feel like a Nutter even saying it out loud. 232 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.159 I've already reached out to two other paranormal researchers, but 233 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.679 no one really seems to care or take me seriously. 234 00:13:42.600 --> 00:13:45.039 My first encounter happened about five or six years ago, 235 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:48.480 and then I had another one more recently in twenty eighteen. 236 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.840 I just saw you on a mini documentary and I 237 00:13:51.840 --> 00:13:54.159 thought maybe you would understand what I saw that day. 238 00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.519 I need you to know I am one hundred percent 239 00:13:57.559 --> 00:14:00.600 telling the truth. This is real to me, and it's 240 00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:03.679 important that you know that. I am so convinced of 241 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:07.159 what I saw that I've even tried doing my own investigations. 242 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.519 I'll be honest. When I first started going out looking, 243 00:14:10.919 --> 00:14:13.960 I was terrified, even though I had already had one 244 00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.879 encounter that scared the absolute hell out of me. I 245 00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:21.960 kept going back, and over time it got easier. Since then, 246 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.480 I've seen a few other strange things in the same area. 247 00:14:25.320 --> 00:14:27.679 There's nowhere in the UK where you can really study 248 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.159 this kind of thing, at least not properly. The best 249 00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:34.000 I could do was watch documentaries, and those helped me 250 00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.720 pinpoint exactly what kind of creature I saw. I'm convinced 251 00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:41.320 it was a bigfoot. It had pale, whitish hair, maybe 252 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:44.000 with a bit of gray mixed in. Its eyes had 253 00:14:44.000 --> 00:14:47.919 a strange glow red at least I thought so, but 254 00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:50.440 my girlfriend, who was with me at the time, thought 255 00:14:50.480 --> 00:14:54.919 they looked more orange. And it was huge, tall, broad, 256 00:14:55.279 --> 00:14:59.120 definitely not human. It was sitting there, half on the path, 257 00:14:59.519 --> 00:15:02.720 half in the bushes, right by a creek, at two 258 00:15:02.840 --> 00:15:07.320 or three am, in freezing cold weather. And stay tuned 259 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:09.559 for more sasquatch oat to see. We'll be right back 260 00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:17.000 after these messages. Then it stood up, It rose to 261 00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:20.759 its full height, and suddenly it looked like a giant. 262 00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:24.600 Its arms were massive, long and thick, hanging down in 263 00:15:24.639 --> 00:15:27.919 a way that just didn't look right. The second we 264 00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:31.960 saw that, we ran. I never stopped thinking about that night. 265 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:34.960 And what makes it even stranger is that a few 266 00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.000 years later I saw a report in the paper someone 267 00:15:38.039 --> 00:15:42.039 across Tayport, near the tay had seen something exactly like 268 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:44.799 what I saw. And then, of course there are the 269 00:15:44.840 --> 00:15:48.159 old gray man stories from the Cairngorms. But how do 270 00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:51.559 you tell people that you saw something like this. Nobody 271 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:55.240 is going to believe you, and so far nobody has. 272 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:57.840 That's why I had to share this with you. When 273 00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.159 I heard you talking, I could tell you've seen them too. 274 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:04.720 Over the years. I've also heard growling and other strange 275 00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.480 noises in that area, So that's what happened to me. 276 00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:10.320 It's not easy to say all of this, but I 277 00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:13.240 think it's important that I do. Maybe this is why 278 00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:16.480 people go missing and are never found. I feel lucky 279 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.759 to have seen what I saw. This would have been 280 00:16:18.799 --> 00:16:22.399 around Christmas, about ten years ago. I was at my 281 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:25.360 ex girlfriend's house and our friend was about to walk 282 00:16:25.399 --> 00:16:29.440 home really late at night on her own. I didn't 283 00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:33.080 feel right about that. The lanes around there are pitch black, 284 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:35.799 and the walk to her house is long, not the 285 00:16:35.879 --> 00:16:37.679 kind of place you want to be alone at night, 286 00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:40.320 so I offered to walk her part of the way. 287 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:43.360 My ex came with us, and the three of us 288 00:16:43.360 --> 00:16:46.559 set off into the cold night. We got our friend 289 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:50.399 home safely, then started heading back. When we reached the 290 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:53.919 bridge over the stream, we walked across, turned the corner, 291 00:16:54.360 --> 00:16:57.679 and that's when we saw it. There was something sitting there, 292 00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:01.879 half in the bush, half on the like it was resting. 293 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:06.720 It was freezing, icy ground middle of the night, so 294 00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:09.559 I had no idea what we were looking at We 295 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:12.240 both stared at each other, like what the fuck is that? 296 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:17.240 Then it stood up. It was massive, bigger than any 297 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:20.279 person could ever be, and it was looking right at us. 298 00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.920 The way it stood was strange. Its arms were long 299 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.200 and thick, dangling unnaturally. It was ape like, and its 300 00:17:28.200 --> 00:17:32.720 sheer size was terrifying. The best way I can describe it, 301 00:17:32.720 --> 00:17:35.960 it looked like Arnold Schwarzenegger wearing a white furry rug. 302 00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:39.759 It was so big it seemed larger than the moonlight itself. 303 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.240 Its eyes red or orange, depending on how the light 304 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:46.319 hit them, locked on to us, and the way it 305 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.079 moved that freaked me out the most. We didn't wait around. 306 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:55.279 We ran back over the bridge full sprint. The crazy part. 307 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:58.039 If we had just walked past it, home was only 308 00:17:58.079 --> 00:18:01.559 five minutes up the hill road to cross and that 309 00:18:01.720 --> 00:18:04.759 was it. But instead of taking that chance, we ran 310 00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.119 in the opposite direction, adding a twenty to twenty five 311 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:10.839 minute detour, just to avoid where we had seen it. 312 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:13.960 The whole way there, I had a feeling something was 313 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:17.200 watching us. I didn't say anything at the time, but 314 00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.359 now I wonder if I should have. I suppose I 315 00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:23.039 could have been mistaken. Maybe it was just a huge 316 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:25.920 man wrapped in a white fur rug, sitting half on 317 00:18:26.000 --> 00:18:29.599 the frozen path, half in the wet bushes at three 318 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:33.680 am and sub zero temperatures. But that doesn't make sense. 319 00:18:34.400 --> 00:18:37.240 What kind of person would do that. That man would 320 00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:39.319 have had to be sitting there for hours, just waiting 321 00:18:39.319 --> 00:18:41.960 for someone to walk by, And what are the odds 322 00:18:41.960 --> 00:18:45.680 we'd come by at exactly the right moment? And besides, 323 00:18:46.079 --> 00:18:48.559 I can't forget the size of it. I think about 324 00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:52.079 it every single day since then. I've gone out investigating 325 00:18:52.079 --> 00:18:56.000 with friends. I've heard growls, heavy thuds, and other strange 326 00:18:56.000 --> 00:18:59.720 sounds in that same area. There's something out there, and 327 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:02.759 I know, I know I saw it. Mister Luke's Dundee 328 00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:08.319 Bigfoot Creature, nineteen ninety five. Mark finally spoke about his experience, 329 00:19:08.759 --> 00:19:11.960 one that had happened a decade earlier in nineteen ninety five. 330 00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.160 He had kept it to himself for years, not saying 331 00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:17.880 a word, until he came across a local newspaper report 332 00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:21.400 in two thousand and five. The report described a sighting 333 00:19:21.440 --> 00:19:25.440 that felt eerily familiar, almost identical to what he had seen. 334 00:19:26.400 --> 00:19:29.359 Mark Luke, a carer, claims that he saw a big 335 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:33.200 foot like creature roaming the Fife countryside. His encounter took 336 00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:35.440 place just off the Tay Road bridge while he was 337 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:38.359 traveling to Dundee to cover a night shift security job. 338 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:41.839 Mark recalls, from what I read in the Courier, my 339 00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:44.519 experience was very similar to the one reported in two 340 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:47.480 thousand and five. I was driving back to Edinburgh at 341 00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:50.000 around eight am, heading south on the A ninety two, 342 00:19:50.599 --> 00:19:53.319 right around the same area where the other siding happened. 343 00:19:54.160 --> 00:19:57.000 Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until I reached one 344 00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.680 particular stretch of road. That's when everything changed. I remember 345 00:20:01.720 --> 00:20:04.200 there was forest on both sides of the road, and 346 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:06.680 as I glanced to my left, I saw a tall, 347 00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:09.519 dark shape standing about twenty feet away in the trees. 348 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.200 At first I thought it was just a large man, 349 00:20:12.839 --> 00:20:16.359 but then it started walking toward me, and that's when 350 00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:19.559 I knew it was not a man. He must have 351 00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:22.400 been huge, I would guess eight to ten feet tall 352 00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:28.640 and incredibly wide. His sheer size was overwhelming. I won't lie. 353 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:32.200 I was scared and confused. I didn't know what I 354 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:34.920 was looking at, so I did the only thing I 355 00:20:34.920 --> 00:20:37.200 could think to do. I put my foot down and 356 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.880 got out of there as fast as I could. I 357 00:20:39.960 --> 00:20:42.759 was already going about sixty miles per hour and there 358 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.480 was no way I was stopping to look back. I 359 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.920 just wanted to put distance between me and it. The 360 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:51.920 forest was dark, making it hard to see any details. 361 00:20:52.400 --> 00:20:54.960 I could make out its shape, but its facial features 362 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.279 were lost in the shadows. Could it be real? Even 363 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:02.759 after all these Mark remains ninety percent convinced that they're 364 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:06.119 out there. I won't ever be one hundred percent sure 365 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.079 until I see a body, or if somebody captures one. 366 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:12.079 Even when you see something like that with your own eyes, 367 00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.880 it still doesn't feel possible. There are still too many 368 00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.839 unexplained things out there. The two thousand and five newspaper 369 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.240 report that prompted Mark to speak up was published in 370 00:21:22.279 --> 00:21:25.640 a local Scottish paper, and it turns out that both encounters, 371 00:21:25.880 --> 00:21:28.680 though a decade apart, happened within just a mile of 372 00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:33.000 each other along that same stretch of road. Coincidence or 373 00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:37.599 proof that something strange is lurking in the forests of Fife. 374 00:21:37.640 --> 00:21:42.440 The Bigfoot crossing the Road, Fife, August two thousand and five. 375 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:46.000 This account was shared with me by Cliff Barockman of 376 00:21:46.039 --> 00:21:49.519 the BFRO in the United states it took place in 377 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:52.279 a stunning part of Scotland, less than a mile from 378 00:21:52.359 --> 00:21:56.400 the Tay Estuary, near the A ninety two. The witness 379 00:21:56.440 --> 00:21:58.920 was driving home from work, taking a road he had 380 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:03.079 traveled countless time before, but on this particular night, as 381 00:22:03.079 --> 00:22:06.359 he approached the Five Roads round about, he encountered something 382 00:22:06.359 --> 00:22:09.920 he never expected to see, a strange, hairy, human like 383 00:22:10.000 --> 00:22:13.759 figure standing by the roadside. Here's his story in his 384 00:22:13.799 --> 00:22:18.079 own words. After navigating the Five Roads round About, I 385 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:20.960 was heading southbound on the A ninety two when my 386 00:22:21.000 --> 00:22:23.960 headlights picked out what I thought was a man standing 387 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:26.759 by the left side of the road. His figure was 388 00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:29.680 clear as day. Then he stepped out directly in front 389 00:22:29.680 --> 00:22:33.039 of my car. Instinctively, I slammed on the brakes to 390 00:22:33.079 --> 00:22:36.680 avoid hitting him. But as I got closer, I realized 391 00:22:37.240 --> 00:22:41.000 this was no man. This was a huge, hairy, ape 392 00:22:41.119 --> 00:22:43.519 like creature. It turned its head to look at me, 393 00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:46.359 and in that moment, its eyes reflected the light from 394 00:22:46.359 --> 00:22:49.759 my car, shining in a way that was impossible to ignore. 395 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:53.680 And then with just three enormous strides acrossed the road. 396 00:22:54.519 --> 00:22:57.240 I sat there in shock, my car at a full stop, 397 00:22:57.759 --> 00:23:01.680 feeling uneasy, but curious, I rolled down the window. That's 398 00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:05.079 when I heard something moving through the woods, heavy deliberate 399 00:23:05.160 --> 00:23:08.960 crunching sounds coming from the undergrowth. I had no torch, 400 00:23:09.319 --> 00:23:12.200 no way to shine light into the trees, but even 401 00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:16.160
