Flightless Bird
Live in Portland: Bigfoot, Beavers, and the Oregon Trail

Yeah, this is a species of unknown primate in some sort of way. So that's what we're looking at here.

very common motif if you look back in the 1800s at the newspaper reports as the European population is pushing inwards towards the center of the continent.

Because Sasquatches being perfectly normal animals, you can find oral traditions in native cultures about them, of course, but you can also find historical newspaper articles that describe these animals to a T of what people continue to see on a regular basis here in North America now.

Oh, there's been a lot of moments. I've been doing this for a long, long time, and people ask me that. I would say it has to be, well, I met my wife while I was looking for Sasquatches, and she's by far the most exciting thing in my life. Amazing. Yeah, amazing, right? I met my wife while I was working on the Animal Planet TV show. She wandered out into a field? No, no, she was a bird.

No, but she was a production assistant on the TV show, of course. Found my dog. But as far as interactions with the animals, I've been screamed at from very, very close range by unseen entities in the woods. I've seen a Sasquatch. I observed one for about six or eight seconds through a thermal imager in North Carolina. Rewind. What the fuck was that like? That would be amazing. It was crazy.

It was crazy. You dropped that so casually. You've seen one wandering around. I may have seen two, actually. I saw another upright dark figure walking through a clear cut in Texas one time. Yeah. So, yeah.

But oddly enough, the exciting... You know, when you see a Sasquatch, especially for someone like myself who is actually trying to see a Sasquatch, when I actually do see one, I'm thinking, what am I actually looking at? What... Am I fooling myself? That's the question in my mind all the time. Am I fooling myself? Because I'm very skeptical. In fact, I have a reputation in the Bigfoot community.

I'm no fun because I don't believe what most people tell me. I really question other people's observation skills and their communication skills. And I do that to myself as well. Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? And I didn't even enjoy the moment where I actually observed one through the thermal imager for six or eight seconds because I was saying... What is that? Is that a person?

It sure doesn't walk like one. What in the world? But it was a thermal imager sighting, of course, which sees heat. And it was in February in the Uari National Forest in the mountains. And I was observing a human-like figure walking at about 70 yards away that was one color pretty much from head to toe.
