Episode Guide

"Birth of a Legend"[3]

The team heads to the Mecca of Sasquatchery, Bluff Creek, California. While there they recreate the famous Patterson–Gimlin film, accompanied by Bob Gimlin himself. They also investigate the Marble Mountain footage. Later, while exploring the area, Ranae has an experience she's not likely to forget during one of the team’s best night investigations to date.

The Search Continues

Following their promising findings in Oregon's wilderness, the field investigators relocated to southeastern Kentucky's Appalachian Mountains, where their proprietary data algorithm identified a 75,000-acre zone showing statistically significant Bigfoot activity. The team focused on this remote area of coal country, where abandoned mining operations have allowed wildlife populations to rebound dramatically in recent decades. Researcher Mireya Mayor noted that this ecological recovery may have created favorable conditions for larger mammals, including an undiscovered primate species, to expand their range. The investigators theorized that the region's distinctive ridge-and-valley terrain could serve as a migratory corridor, with this specific location potentially functioning as a seasonal stopover—similar to patterns observed in other large migratory animals. Historical sighting data suggested the team had approximately seventeen days to document activity before any potential migration window closed.

"Baby Bigfoot"[3]

The team travels to New York state to investigate the New York Baby Footage. Ranae also spends some time alone near the site of the film, and dozens of witnesses come forward.

Call and Response

The field investigators focused their efforts on southeastern Kentucky's coal country, centering their search around abandoned mine sites the team considered potential habitat for a large unknown primate. Ronny Le Blanc interviewed a local preacher who reported hearing unusual vocalizations near his property, including a recorded howl that became central to the episode's methodology. Russell Acord encountered a longtime resident with three decades of mining experience in the region, gathering local perspective on the area's terrain and wildlife patterns. The investigation concentrated on a mile-long pathway near an abandoned mine, with the team positioning themselves at strategic points to cover maximum ground while maintaining communication.

"Big Rhodey"[3]

The team travels to Rhode Island to examine video of a roadside sighting of a bigfoot.

Creepy Hollows

The Expedition Bigfoot team concentrated their investigation in a remote hollow in southeastern Kentucky, following up on audio evidence obtained by researcher Bryce Johnson from a local preacher who had recorded unusual howling sounds near his property. The team positioned themselves in the rugged terrain with survivalist Russell Acord stationed on a cliff approximately 400 feet above primatologist Dr. Mireya Mayor and researcher Ronny LeBlanc. During their nighttime investigation, the team also examined a relocated trail camera that appeared to have been deliberately moved from its original mounting point, behavior consistent with great ape interactions with field equipment documented in other primate studies.

Hand of the Beast

The investigation continued in a densely forested valley where the team had previously recorded vocalizations across multiple ridges during overnight audio monitoring. Field investigator Ronny LeBlanc triangulated the sounds to a specific ridge opposite their base camp, identifying it as the next target area. The team's most significant discovery came when they located what appeared to be a large footprint showing a distinct heel impression. After collecting environmental DNA samples from the print, they covered it with protective material, intending to return with scanning equipment. However, an unexpected thunderstorm swept through the area overnight, and when the researchers returned to document the print with three-dimensional scanning technology, they found the heavy rainfall had completely washed away the track's defining features, eliminating the ridges, arch definition, and toe impressions they had observed the previous day.

"Peeping Bigfoot"[4]

The team travels to Minnesota to investigate howls recorded at a bigfoot hot spot and a sighting of what may be the tallest Bigfoot ever seen (11 feet tall).

Time's Running Out

With only three days remaining in their Kentucky expedition, field investigators Mireya Mayor and Ronny Le Blanc returned to examine an eight-foot-tall tree structure discovered at the southeast edge of their target zone near Pine Mountain's base. The woven configuration of branches, stacked and interlaced in deliberate patterns, suggested purposeful construction rather than natural formation. The structure's apex height and visibility from multiple trail approaches indicated possible territorial marking behavior. Mayor noted the construction's similarity to a suspected nest found during the previous year's Oregon investigation, though this Kentucky structure stood significantly taller and appeared designed for visibility rather than shelter. The remote location and substantial elevation made human construction logistically improbable, requiring hours of hiking with equipment to reach branches at that height.

"Canadian Bigfoot, Eh?"[4]

The team travels to the Canadian Rockies in Alberta to investigate a unique bigfoot encounter caught on tape.

"Buckeye Bigfoot"[3]

The team heads to Ohio to investigate an encounter with a bigfoot that is caught on tape. Along with a team of volunteers, they search the surrounding forests for evidence of a bigfoot.

Bigfoot's Lair?

In the final days of their Kentucky expedition, the team followed a promising lead when bloodhound Xena tracked a scent from a tree structure to a location 800 feet downhill. Survivalist Russell Acord investigated upslope and discovered a cave opening with disturbed vegetation suggesting repeated use. The entrance emitted what Acord described as an unnatural odor, and Xena—reportedly unafraid of typical wildlife—refused to approach the opening. The team considered the possibility that the cave system could serve as a subterranean habitat, offering a secluded travel route through the terrain with multiple entry points across the hillside.

The Quest Out West

The expedition pivots from Kentucky to Washington State's Olympic Peninsula after the team's algorithm identifies a massive 250,000-acre target zone in what field investigators call the Bigfoot capital of the world. The relocation gains additional weight from a credible witness account: a former Air Force captain who approached team leader Bryce Johnson in Kentucky, claiming that military instructors openly acknowledged the existence of Bigfoot in Washington forests and suggested the government has knowledge of these creatures. The Olympic Peninsula's unique ecosystem—one of the world's few non-tropical rainforests receiving 170 inches of annual rainfall—creates an extensive network of waterways where over half of the team's database sightings occur within a hundred yards of water sources. This correlation between Bigfoot activity and water becomes the foundation for the team's investigative strategy in the region.

"Virginia is for Bigfoot Lovers"[3]

The team travels to Virginia to investigate video of what the locals are calling "the Beast of Gumhill."

"Moonshine and Bigfoot"[3]

The team travels to Kentucky to investigate footage of glowing eyes that could belong to a bigfoot. The team tries a new search technique in the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Dark Memories

The Expedition Bigfoot team investigated the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state, focusing on the waterways and roadways where Bigfoot activity has been consistently reported for decades. Researcher Bryce Johnson deployed a mobile reconnaissance vehicle equipped with multiple night vision and thermal cameras along a road known for creature crossings near the eastern edge of the peninsula. During his patrol, Bryce reported observing a large figure cross the road ahead of him, though thermal imaging afterward failed to locate the subject in the surrounding woods. Meanwhile, primatologist Dr. Mireya Mayor and researcher Ronny Le Blanc concentrated their efforts along the salmon-rich rivers flowing from Hood Canal, operating on the theory that these waterways would attract Bigfoot as a food source. The episode also featured a witness interview with a local who described encountering a massive eight-foot-tall figure that stepped onto the roadway, estimating its weight at approximately 1,000 pounds.

Paranormal Anomaly

The team returned to a remote location along a river in the Olympic Peninsula where they had previously recorded what appeared to be a large figure crossing the waterway. During their nighttime stakeout of the potential feeding ground, Dr. Mireya Mayor detected a massive heat signature on thermal imaging positioned behind a tree across the river. The figure displayed unusual characteristics from the start—when Ronny LeBlanc attempted a vocalization, the target began moving, revealing a vertical form surrounded by small white dots. This detail aligned with witness reports the team had encountered describing Bigfoot creatures accompanied by small orbs. The thermal camera experienced unexplained technical difficulties, failing to record during the initial observation.

"The Best of Finding Bigfoot"[3]

A special that looks back at past Finding Bigfoot episodes.

"Hoosier Bigfoot"[3]

The team travels to Indiana to investigate footage of a bigfoot caught in broad daylight.

The Government Knows

The team investigated a remote river valley on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, focusing on a riverbank where field investigator Russell reported being stalked by a massive creature. During their nighttime investigation, the researchers documented vocalization activity, including what they described as grunting sounds and movement through the underbrush. The investigation took an unusual turn when unmarked military helicopters repeatedly flew overhead during their fieldwork. This aerial activity prompted Bryce to reach out to a former federal agent for perspective on whether government agencies might be monitoring cryptid research in the region. The team also interviewed a witness who reported an eight-foot-tall creature that appeared to crouch down and vanish after covering its face.

Lake Fear

In "Lake Fear," field investigator Russell Acord pursued an unidentified creature through challenging mountainous terrain after it reportedly charged in his direction. Following what he interpreted as a game trail through dense undergrowth, Russell tracked the subject to a steep incline containing a cave-like alcove. Upon investigation, he reported a strong skunk-like odor at the location and observed evidence suggesting the space had been used as a resting area, though the void itself proved to be a dead end with no creature present. Despite tracking for hours, Russell remained convinced the subject was nearby based on the freshness of disturbances and the intensity of the scent he encountered.

"Holy Cow, it's a Bigfoot"[3]

The team travels to Utah to investigate a mysterious tape of a supposed bigfoot.

Closer Than Ever

The team continued their investigation in a remote Washington wilderness area centered around a secluded lake—habitat the researchers identified as prime Bigfoot territory. During a nighttime deployment, Dr. Mireya Mayor and Ronny LeBlanc reported observing a massive heat signature on thermal imaging positioned on a ridge above their location. The figure appeared to remain stationary, standing upright and watching them from an elevated vantage point. The team also documented possible wood knocks and heard movement near the water's edge, accompanied by what they described as a strong, gamey odor in the area. Russell Acord reported feeling as though something was maneuvering behind the team's position during the encounter. When investigators attempted to relocate the thermal signature for a clearer observation, it had disappeared from view.
