Shadows of Bigfoot

All right, let's ready up.

Inventory accounted for, Sarge.

Roger that, Sergeant.

You boys understand what we're doing tonight.

Mm-hm.

All right, because this is your last chance to bow out,

and I will not think less of you.

I have to think gonna be no turkey shoot.

I know the risks.

I ain't no bitch.

I'm seeing it through to the end.

All right, Hudson,

you keep that camera rolling no matter what.

Both of you, keep your eyes peeled for rangers, all right?

What we're doing ain't exactly legal.

Eyes open, head on a swivel.

Copy that.

All right, good men.

Let's roll out.

Do you think we'll find it?

Pete will find it,

just don't think it's a bear we're after.

Well, then what the fuck is it?

Hey, keep the chatter to a minimum you two, all right?

We can't afford any mistakes out here.

All right, according to my map,

we are well within its territory now,

so everybody stay on high alert.

You sure it's out there?

Yeah, I'm sure it's outta here, Hicks.

Can't hide behind these trees forever, though.

We're gonna find it.

The fuck is that man?

Had to be a bear.

No, no, it's moving way too fast to be a bear.

Then what the fuck is it?

That's destiny, son.

It's stalking us now.

Come on out.

Can't hide forever.

Find it, Sarge, where's it at?

Smell that?

It's close now.

Hold up, hold up, hold up.

I think there's something down there.

Come on out.

Come on.

God damn it.

Shit, we gotta go after him.

The fuck did he go?

Pete.

Where are you, Pete?

Ah, Sarge, come on.

Where are you at, Sarge?

Is that?

Oh God.

Oh God.

No!

Sarge, Sarge, Pete, come on.

We need you to get us outta here. Come on, Sarge.

Oh fuck.

Please God, please don't.

It's not, it's not, it's not happening.

It's not real, it's not happening, it's not real.

Oh fuck.

Oh fuck.

Oh fuck, fuck, fuck.

Fuck.

Oh fuck, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Fuck.

Hey, hey, help!

Oh fuck, oh fuck.

No!

Oh God.

Please God, please.

I gotta get the fuck outta here,

I swear to God.

Okay, do we got the cameras and everything?

Yep, got the hand held, time lapse,

and all the back-up hard drives.

I think we got everything.

Ready for your first gig?

Ready as I'll ever be.

Yeah, don't worry.

Everyone's nervous their first time.

Oh, Drew, did you grab the?

Yes, thank you.

Awesome.

All right.

That's it.

Oh my God.

I almost forgot the most important thing.

You are such a bad influence, my God.

Yeah, Jake, have a responsible here, man.

- Okay, we good? - Okay.

Jake, we good?

Yep, just let double check the audio.

You gotta little something.

Okay, all right.

Ready? And...

So we've come to share a story

from the shadows of the Blackwood Forest,

a place soaked in secrets as dark as the wilderness itself.

We've ventured here to seek out clues to a mystery

that still haunt this very region.

Hikers have long gone missing

on the trails winding through these woods.

Some even claim to have seen a beast in the shadows

just beyond the tree line.

But we've come to pursue a mystery

that's far more chilling, an unsolved case

that seems to have caught national attention.

An unsettling tale about a local man, Jeb McCoy,

accused of killing his own wife.

The case against him collapsed and he was acquitted

only to vanish into the solitude of the forest.

So our plan is to track him down, document him,

and get his side of the story,

because Jeb insists that he did not cause his wife's death.

Instead, he claims that a creature came

in the middle of the night and took his wife,

the creature known as Bigfoot.

So did Jeb really kill his wife,

or was it this mythical creature?

We're gonna spend this weekend investigating,

and we're gonna find out what exactly is going on

in this forest.

Look.

Drew, look at all these missing hikers.

Yeah, let's try to stay off this wall, right guys?

Oh, she went missing just a few weeks ago.

Can I help you guys with something?

Yeah, we should have a reservation for a campsite.

It will be under Grace Parker.

- Parker? - Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, Campsite B-33.

Yeah.

This one's kind of out there,

you have experience hiking and camping?

Oh yeah, man, we have hiked our fair share.

Okay, what's with the cameras?

Oh, we run a documentary channel.

We just kind of go around exploring

urban legends and unsolved mysteries,

you know, that kind of thing.

Okay, well you've come to the right place.

Yeah, man, we're excited to be here,

especially after all the press at this place.

Yeah.

It's terrible.

The forest is unpredictable, you know?

Not everybody who goes in comes back out.

The place is massive, one of the largest in the country.

You might think you're going one way,

get turned around, never come out.

We've set up camp and hike, tougher terrain.

- Yeah. - So, we'll be okay.

I'm sure you have,

but don't make my job harder than it is, okay?

Stick to the trail.

Don't disturb the locals.

There's already enough going on with Jeb in the press.

We won't be a problem, I promise.

We're just gonna camp here for the night,

and then we're gonna head to the Whitlow Trail tomorrow.

Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news,

but Whitlow trail's closed 'til further notice.

There was a bear attack couple weeks ago,

killed three hunters.

I mean, we understand the risks, man.

And then we're not rookies.

We've even counted more bears than we can count.

There's not some sort of arrangement we can make,

or? - No.

I mean, you could come with us.

You can make sure we stay safe and stay on the trail.

We could even pay you for your time if you wanted.

I get it, I get it. You're frustrated,

you're not going where you want to go, but rules are rules.

We have to prioritize safety now.

If anybody is caught sneaking onto a trail

they're not supposed to be on,

you're gonna get hit with a trespassing charge

and a fine of a thousand dollars each.

Here.

That's a more tourist friendly trail.

I think you'll enjoy it, real easy hike,
