Untold Stories: Welcome Back Squatchers

E01

Bigfoot Island

Aug 20231 site✓ transcript

The expedition relocated to Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska after hair samples collected in northern California were identified as belonging to the Alexander Archipelago wolf, a rare subspecies found only in southeastern Alaska with its highest concentration on this island. Field investigators Bryce Johnson and Mireya Mayor interviewed a logger who reported a series of unsettling incidents at a remote worksite thirty miles from the nearest town. According to the witness, tools and equipment were mysteriously relocated to the forest edge over a period of days, with no tracks or signs indicating bear activity. The disturbances escalated when the twenty-person logging crew began hearing screams the witness described as resembling a woman in distress—sounds unlike any known animal in the region that left the experienced woodsmen deeply unnerved.

E02

The Legend of Boggy Creek

Nov 20131 site

The team travels to Fouke, Arkansas, home of the 1972 bigfoot documentary, "The Legend of Boggy Creek." With a long history of sightings near this small town, the team takes to the surrounding swamps in hopes of proving Arkansas' bigfoot is more than a legend.

E02

Demon in the Dark

Sep 20231 site✓ transcript

The expedition takes the field investigators to Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, where persistent howling reports near a remote alpine lake have drawn connections to the Kushtaka—a shapeshifting creature from Alaskan indigenous legend known for terrifying screams and fatal encounters with humans. Many locals believe the Kushtaka and Bigfoot may be the same entity. The team focuses their investigation on the lake's shoreline and the northeast side of Gray Mountain, an area residents have identified as a potential Bigfoot hotspot. Evidence discovered during the investigation includes trees broken off at their bases and scattered across trails, suggesting territorial behavior, as well as unusual vocalizations that researchers suspect may have been attempts to lure team members closer to the water.

E03

Surf's Up, Sasquatch

Nov 20131 site

The team travels to Santa Cruz, California to visit the Bigfoot Discovery Museum. The museum's owner directs them to recent eyewitnesses and secret hotspots. Bobo hopes the smells from an authentic Hawaiian luau will be too much for nearby bigfoots to resist

E03

Tunnel of Terror

Sep 20231 site✓ transcript

Russell's pursuit of a creature across Gray Mountain led him to a significant discovery: an abandoned mine shaft positioned beside a waterfall, potentially offering shelter or passage for a large animal. The mine, part of Prince of Wales Island's extensive mining history dating back decades, presented both opportunity and danger—without proper equipment to test air quality and structural integrity, entry remained impossible. Meanwhile, Ronny and Mireya expanded their investigation of mysterious upside-down trees, locating a third specimen two miles from the original pair. All three trees displayed similar characteristics: no obvious cut marks, extensive moss growth suggesting age, and placement that defied easy explanation. The pattern's proximity to recent activity reports suggested potential territorial markers, though the team remained cautious about drawing definitive connections.

E04

Best Evidence Yet

Nov 20131 site

The team returns to Florida to investigate thermal footage of a possible bigfoot. Convinced of the evidence, they revisit witnesses from previous expeditions and narrow their search to a recent hotspot.

E04

Dual Pursuit

Sep 20231 site✓ transcript

Following the team's analysis of lidar data from an abandoned mine, field investigators Mireya and Ronny were redirected from their trail camera review to investigate the area surrounding the mine. Bryce had discovered a humanoid figure in the lidar scans that appeared invisible to standard cameras, noting only a distortion visible on Russell's handheld device. The researchers drew parallels to a previous shadow anomaly they documented in Washington State, theorizing they might be dealing with a camouflaged or "cloaked" Bigfoot. Meanwhile, Bryce interviewed witness Joel, an experienced outdoorsman and hunter, who reported strange occurrences during a camping trip two miles up a nearby mountain, including the sound of a thick branch breaking that woke him during the night.

E05

Kung-Fu Bigfoot

Dec 20131 site

The team travels to China in search of the Yeren, a bi-pedal, hair-covered ape similar to bigfoot. Little is known about this elusive creature, but the team uses their bigfooting skills to try and prove China's Yeren is more than just legend.

E05

Low Tide, High Danger

Oct 20231 site✓ transcript

The team continued their investigation along the northern side of Gray Mountain in Alaska, where mounting evidence suggested sustained activity in the area. Mireya reported being stalked while walking a trail at night, with motion detectors repeatedly triggering along her route. She discovered a series of deep impressions climbing straight up a steep embankment—tracks she interpreted as a single large individual deliberately digging ladder-like steps into the hillside. Simultaneously, Russel examined unusual log structures he had discovered earlier, including carefully positioned logs and what appeared to be a skull-shaped object. The team also heard unexplained whistling sounds in multiple locations throughout the investigation. Meanwhile, Bryce revealed that a witness had withheld significant information during their earlier interview, though the specific details were not disclosed in this segment.

E06

Tracking Terror

Oct 20231 site✓ transcript

The investigation focused on Gray Mountain's northern face and a remote tidal island off the coast, where the team pursued multiple anomalies suggesting territorial behavior. Ronny and Mireya responded to a strange howl captured by their audio surveillance network, using multi-directional acoustic technology to triangulate the sound's origin while tracking whether the source remained in the area. Russell investigated the island separately and discovered three upside-down trees unnaturally driven into marshy ground, their root systems inverted and forced into the soil with considerable force. The pattern of these structures, appearing within a concentrated timeframe and location, suggested deliberate manipulation rather than natural occurrence.

E06

Sketching Sasquatch

Dec 20131 site

The team travels to the California/Nevada border to investigate audio recordings of a possible sasquatch obtained near Lake Tahoe. While blasting calls throughout multiple valleys in the Sierras, they discover some of their best evidence to date. Matt and Ranae find some evidence of themselves during the night investigation.

E07

Nocturnal Nightmare

Oct 20231 site✓ transcript

In this episode, the expedition team investigates Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska, focusing on the northern face of Green Mountain, an area considered a potential Bigfoot hotspot. While conducting nocturnal surveillance, field investigators Mireya and Ronny report hearing sounds suggesting a large animal moving through the area, followed by what Mireya described as an unusually loud, heavy impact. The investigation takes an unexpected turn when Russell discovers that one of his wildlife trackers—devices designed to attach to passing animals with hair—has been activated and has traveled a significant distance. Most remarkably, the tracker's signal suggests movement toward the coastline at the narrowest point between the island and the Alaskan mainland before the signal was lost, raising the possibility that something carrying the tracker entered the water.

E07

Lonestar Squatch

Dec 20131 site

The team travels to East Texas to investigate thermal footage that may show a bigfoot spying on a campsite. Convinced by the evidence, they enlist the aid of primate tracking dogs in hopes of proving bigfoots do roam the Lone Star State.

E08

Abominable Snowman

Dec 20131 site

The team from Finding Bigfoot travel around the world to Nepal in search of the infamous Yeti. They visit monasteries with Yeti relics, talk to firsthand witnesses and travel into the dense forests of the Himalayas. Will they succeed in finding evidence?

E08

The Hand of Bigfoot

Nov 20231 site✓ transcript

Following the discovery of what appeared to be massive handprints in Alaska, field investigators Ronny LeBlanc, Russell Acord, and Mireya Mayor reconvened on the mainland to analyze the evidence. The team documented what they identified as both handprints and possible knuckle prints in the soil, suggesting quadrupedal locomotion—behavior consistent with great apes. The prints appeared to show two distinct sets of tracks moving eastward along a river valley, with handprints measuring at least twice the size of a human hand. This evidence aligned with the team's previous analysis of a reconstructed skull that indicated a creature capable of both bipedal and quadrupedal movement. The discovery represented what the investigators considered a significant lead in their Alaska expedition, particularly given reports of Bigfoot moving on all fours to traverse difficult terrain more quickly.

E09

Big Sky Bigfoot

Jan 20141 site

The team travels to big sky country to investigate sasquatch activity near the city of Bozeman, Montana. After meeting witnesses, they enlist the aid of a dog sled team to take them into a nearby valley, where they set up a fake deer trap to lure a bigfoot.

E10

Bigfoot of Oz

Jan 20141 site

The team travels to the heartland to determine if bigfoots live on the great plains of Kansas. With help from eyewitnesses, they narrow their search to waterways outside of Wichita where they take to the sky and employ a unique baiting technique.

E11
