Episode Guide

Bigfoot Call of the Wildman

In the fifth-season premiere, the team go to Kentucky to inspect casts of alleged Bigfoot tracks, and spend some with Ernie Brown Jr. (aka Turtleman) who recalls a chilling childhood encounter with a mysterious beast.

Breeding Ground

Bryce Johnson, Dr. Mireya Mayor, and Russell Acord scour North America in search of the cryptid known as Bigfoot; they return to northern California to explore compelling evidence and unlock this centuries-old mystery.

Squatters for Sasquatch

The team travels to Virginia where a trail camera photo may contain the image of a possible juvenile Sasquatch.

Nests of Giants

Deep in the Northern California wildness, Russell stops at nothing to reach a nesting site; Mireya and Bryce uncover evidence that a family of Bigfoot is nearby; Ben speaks with a witness who had a chilling encounter with Bigfoot.

Beast of the Bayou

The Bigfoot team investigates a trail camera photo taken in Louisiana's bayou country that may contain the image of a possible Sasquatch.

The Watchers

The team concentrates their investigation on Northern California's Lost Coast region, focusing on a potential breeding ground identified through earlier lidar analysis. After Dr. Mireya Mayor and researcher Bryce Johnson hear a powerful, extended howl near a river where large footprints were previously documented, the investigation intensifies around determining whether multiple sasquatch are using the area to raise young. The vocalization—described as forceful and animalistic—suggests possible territorial acknowledgment of the team's presence. Meanwhile, survivalist Russell Acord tracks movement through the forest ten miles northeast, discovering branches broken and torn at eight to nine feet high, though soil conditions prevent clear track documentation. Bryce later meets with a Hoopa Tribal Council member to review footage, adding cultural context to the investigation.

Primal Fear

In Northern California's rugged forestlands, the team pursued multiple lines of investigation centered on unusual audio phenomena and possible animal mimicry. Survivalist Russell Acord sheltered from a storm on a cave-riddled hillside, where he recorded sounds of a large animal moving across a rock slide below his position, along with what he described as possible vocalizations resembling grunts—potentially from both an adult and juvenile subject. Meanwhile, field investigator Bryce Johnson conducted witness interviews focused on reports of frightening grunts in the area. The investigation intensified after a previous night's activity in which a researcher stationed in an EMF-blocking tent reported something moving past surveillance cameras and a possible projectile throw, though visual confirmation remained elusive.

Squatching in a Winter Wonderland

A trip to Washington state to investigate 50 years of alleged Bigfoot sightings in the Blue Mountains includes a meeting with anthropology professor Jeff Meldrum of Idaho State University.

Watch Your Step

The expedition continued in Northern California's remote backcountry, where the team maintained their hypothesis that the region serves as a potential Bigfoot breeding ground. Field investigator Russell Acord detected a thermal signature on a nearby ridge that appeared to move bipedally at considerable speed before disappearing over a ledge. His pursuit of the heat signature was complicated by dangerous terrain conditions, including fresh landslides triggered by eight inches of rainfall over several days. The unstable hillside featured numerous fallen trees and areas where the ground dropped away sharply, forcing Russell to proceed with extreme caution through the treacherous environment.

Live to Squatch Another Day

The team's search in Oklahoma appears to yield positive results with the use of a cherry picker and some music to spot a Bigfoot, but they also find themselves in danger on their last night in the state.

Smells Like Bigfoot

The field investigators deployed to Northern California's remote backcountry following multiple reports of activity suggesting more than one Sasquatch in the region. A witness described a deeply unsettling encounter in which something reached through a structure and attempted to touch her, leaving her momentarily paralyzed with fear. The team documented what appeared to be a feeding site with scattered bones and evidence of a large animal forcibly tearing apart prey. Russell Acord discovered a ground impression measuring approximately fifteen inches that displayed what he and fellow researcher Bryce Johnson identified as toe-like features, prompting an urgent seventeen-hour round-trip trek to retrieve casting materials before weather conditions could compromise the track.

Bama Bigfoot

The team go to Alabama to explore the forests of an area the locals call Creepy Mountain, where they design a special search technique after examining thermal footage.

The Gathering Storm

In northern California's mountainous terrain, field investigators Bryce Johnson and Dr. Mireya Mayor discovered a series of elaborate tree structures on the southwestern peak of their target zone. The largest structure consisted of approximately a dozen logs, each weighing 150-200 pounds, with ornate arrangements woven across the top at heights reaching 15 feet. The configuration suggested intentional construction beyond natural tree falls, leading researchers to theorize the structures might serve as territorial boundary markers for what they believe could be a Bigfoot breeding ground. The discovery gained significance when the team collected hair samples from within the structure, reminiscent of their Kentucky investigation where similar formations yielded DNA results with primate characteristics. Two miles northeast, survivalist Russell Acord reported movement on the opposite side of the same mountain, suggesting potential coordinated activity across the range.

Bobo's Backyard

The team go to California to investigate unusual photographs taken in a Redwood forest not far from Bobo's home in Humboldt County.

Bigfoot's Doorstep

The field investigators converged on a single mountain in northern California that represented the culmination of their season-long effort to narrow down 7,000 acres of potential habitat. Based on accumulated evidence throughout the expedition—including thermal hits, possible track discoveries, and suspected nesting structures—the team concluded they had identified breeding and nesting territory at the center of their hot zone. The researchers positioned themselves at what they described as "Bigfoot's front step," though their investigation faced immediate challenges from a catastrophic atmospheric river storm system threatening the region with up to five inches of rain, mountain snow, and wind gusts reaching 80 mph at higher elevations.

Biggest Search Yet

In this special episode the team embark on their biggest investigation yet. They cast the widest net possible to find a sasquatch starting from the Four Corners Monument to explore the southwestern U.S. states of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.
