Sasquatch of the Southern Sierras| Mysteries & Monsters (New Sasquatch Documentary)

[@blackstar1557]

The amazing thing about Bigfoot chasers is the life style that goes with it .. I mean come on . Walking through the forest ,Talking around camp fires , Seeing nature .. u can’t go wrong with this and I think that is part of the point . The meaning of bigfoot ..

[@georgea7336]

Absolute TRUTH my friend.

[@Sasquatch.Seekers]

That's is exact why I love what I do

[@OrneryWoman]

I agree. Kids get out with parents to look and camp on the wonderment of hearing something at night. Better than Internet all the time. No better classroom

[@banditeastlick2471]

Have you been Guided by somebody that grew up around them and introduce you to a family of them?

[@SquatchEyes]

@Bandit Eastlick Actually my cousin was a Ranger. I spent time up in alot of places most people couldn't go. He always left gifts. Yes you might say I grew up around them.

[@AdamAtlanta404]

interviews with witnesses and locals is always better than cruddy vlogs with matt moneymaker

[@William-Bill-Munny]

Mid 1970's I had an experience that ever since I struggle with to explain, Bigfoot just never made sense because of the location, lack of available food beyond orange groves, ground squirrels and rabbits. I was rabbit hunting in Perris Valley Ca and something yelled so loud it shook my insides and I felt it was directed at me. My father who was from Grants Pass Oregon didn't say much about it that I remember but I do remember he began telling me stories from back home over the next number of years.

[@joebass517]

I used to hunt out in Winchester for quail and rabbits, it was a great area before it got all built up with homes, one time when I was fishing at lake castiac something screamed at me from across the lake it was so loud, there's nothing out there just mountain hills , I glassed that area for a long time, I knew dam well what it was squatch for sure.

[@TheSpaghetti64]

My brother and friends saw one just north of Simi Valley in the Chevron Oil Fields back in the early 1980s.

[@RuinedTemple]

Thank you, Eli. I enjoy seeing people research, investigate, & test specific personal hypotheses out in the field, so this was fun for me to watch. I look forward to your future work.

Man, that was so good! It held my attention and left me wanting more. Thank you Small Town Monsters. 😊

[@Wingman115]

Lot's of remote area's in the Sierras for a Bigfoot to live and thrive. I spent a week up at Big Pine Lakes around 2009. It was amazing how many people are to lazy to hike more than a few miles from the trailhead. Over the week in that area exploring we only saw one person. But the whole week we had this feeling we were being watched and stalked. That sort of 6th sense was kicking in. I need to return back there and explore.

[@westernbigfootexploration]

We've had legends and stories here in the UK since before the Romans arrived - over 2000 years ago. Tales of the Woodwose, the wild men in the woods. Its such a fascinating subject.

[@Foldy435]

Aren't there sightings now in Kielder forest?

[@dunc2258]

​@Foldy435 yeah a couple of blurry pics created by cranks who wished they lived in the Pacific northwest and squatch for real. I 100% believe bigfoot is a real flesh n blood species but not in the UK unfortunately we live on a tiny heavily developed island. No way enough space to support a hidden species of great ape and that is an absolute FACT

Moneymaker has spent a career..NOT finding Bigfoot...he loves the camera thou....

[@donbrock5060]

Right. I honestly don't like him much.

[@Juanita6173]

My belief is its hardwired into Sasquatch to travel on various routes as it was through their ancestors. It's also passed on through family groups, such as juveniles traveling along distances through mountain ranges. I think they're migratory. Here in Canada I think they head south into the states during winter months. There's several paths I think they regularly use, such as Ross Lake is a shared between BC and Washington. All along the border below Chilliwack River and Chilliwack Lake. And everywhere along the Similkameen and Tulameen Rivers and Manning Park. Interestingly the Pacific Crest Trail ends in Manning Park in the Cascade mountain range. It's hardwired like it is for deer, bears, moose, etc.

[@thomas6600]

i think you are right, i study my area here in alaskas kenai peninsula, and i think there are chokepoints that the creatures are forced to move through migrating each year. portage, between whittier and the cook inlet, seems like a place they MUST move through to access Area A in seward AK....

[@BMO_Creative]

I'm amazed that after decades of researching them, Moneymaker and others still think they are animals.

@@theeliwatsonhey Eli have you guys ever thought about doing Bigfoot tour guiding I would fly out and pay for a few nights of some squatch hunting although people won’t always encounter any noises or contact but the experience would be amazing to people who are not from that part of the region I’ve always wanted to visit the Pacific Northwest but the vast wilderness can be a little taunting to an amateur a tour guide like you guys would be amazing and it would be a good way to generate revenue for further research and support the channel , hey if you see this message I want to say we love what you guys are doing please never give up this Channel, much love and respect to the small town monsters crew you guys are amazing also in your opinion do you think that the Pacific Northwest is the capital of Sasquatch territory? Where in the world would you most likely have some type of encounter? I know Alaska and Canada are hotspots as well I wonder which part of the world comes in first place when it comes to sightings and encounters

[@lunamaria1048]

Sasquatch is nomadic... We hear them every Summer, for about 3 or 4 weeks, before they move off, heading south towards Washington state

[@MagnificoMaltese]

If these animals are intelligent then I would think they can tell the difference between human and other Sasquatch calls.

[@user-mn9te4wg2e]

I’d think so

[@RaiderCBR6.5]

For sure on that, when the Sasquatch hear a human do the call they probably think ( REALLY, FUC-ING RETARDS, LIKE WE DON'T KNOW. JESUS CHRIST, THERE HITTING TREE'S WITH STICKS NOW, WHO SAID THOSE LITTLE FUNNY LOOKING LITTLE SCAREDECATS WERE SMART.

[@unropednope4644]

Probably why they never respond

[@JDingers18]

I agree. Like Matt said towards the end of the video, he’s just hoping a Sasquatch is far enough away that they would hear the muffled echo off the mountain range and not be able to discern between human and Sasquatch calling from far away.

[@clothilde1623]

Yup, exactly. I noticed on Finding Bigfoot that the most they’d ever get would be a single response, probably out of curiosity, followed by radio silence. Every time. And even _that_ was rare. If we can tell the difference between what sounds human and what sounds distinctly inhuman I’m sure the squatchies can too! Plus we don’t understand the nature of their calls - what different sounds and intonations might convey. I bet they just roll their eyes when they hear Moneymaker wooh-ing away out there (especially as his calls are rubbish!) 😂

[@ashhill6167]

Great vid as always, good to see Moneymaker !

[@steffen4749]

[@jasonbarrera1638]

Actually reports of Bigfoot have been reported all the way to the Mexico border. As documented in retired border patrol Rocky Elmore book “Out on foot” I definitely recommend it! It has definitely opened me up to Squatchin out here in San Diego

[@tiatroll5251]

I have traveled to many indigenous nations throughout US ( career working in tribal education) these magnificent Creatures are all over and in Our stories. What I find amusing is - they laughed at us saying our stories are folklore, fairy tales- now that modern people are seeing it - it’s Real. If they would just take the time to sit and talk with our Elders they might learn a thing or two. They have been here before modern man - some stories say they walked in harmony with our Ancestors. Things changed - some stories say it was do to “a mistake/misunderstanding “ others says that the ghost from the big water (ocean) brought a change and some even say it’s because we are “fire carriers” and destroy everything. I love the idea the youth are seeking our knowledge- just as it was taught to us.✌🏽♥️

[@SaneGuySports]

I really like Eli's sincere research and assessments. Keep going Kid, these docs are compelling as heck to watch. I look forward to your research continuing to go south, as I bet there are sightings in Alpine, outside of San Diego.

My encounter was in the San Bernardino mountain near big bear. Sightings of both Bigfoot and Dogman are reported from Antelope Valley down to Joshua tree and beyond.

[@spiritualarchitect4276]

Tell us about your encounter and where it was in relation to the lake.

[@Spartan2551]

@@spiritualarchitect4276 my encounter happened in Fawnskin which is the city across the lake from big bear. There is the road that takes you to Hannah Flats where the encounter happened. On the last night of camping with my friends it was silent around camp. We decided to call it early and turned in by around 8pm. Later around 10:30ish something bipedal walk from behind us to our camp. It walk around camp as everyone from 3 different tents were scared. We had walkie-talkie to communicate and seem to move as it head the whisper in to the radios. It eventually left and we feel asleep later that night. The next morning I went looking to see what came to camp but no clear prints due to all the leaf litter. Then I found a single print about 30 feet back from camp . It had 5 toes, was the right foot and could see the heel. It was about 18in long. We packed up and left as fast as possible. This happened roughly 1998 in june

[@spiritualarchitect4276]

@@Spartan2551 Thanks for your story. I have driven through Fawnskin before while driving around the lake. It never occurred to me that there could be Squatch up there because of all the people. But when you look at a map, there really is NOTHING up there in those mountains but trees and rocks with small 2 lane roads that go to desolate spots. If the Big Guys are up there, there is no one around to see them.

[@Spartan2551]

@@spiritualarchitect4276 last year I went camping by the late. On one of the days we went off trail riding in our 4x4 trucks. There is a lot of woods out there even after the fires. Sometimes can definitely go undetected up there. We didn't take the most remote trails available.

I can see them passing through at certain times of the year, but not remaining there for too long simply because of how hairy they are and how uncomfortable it must be for them. They probably do it at night when it's a lot cooler for them.

Eli I wouldn’t go back to that new location with Matt Moneymaker, surely he realises that if the Sabe are there they will know you are there before you even get out of your car.

[@TeresaRParkerEnt]

Thanks for this!!! I live on the southern mountain range of the Antelope V about 15 mi from Gorman, so closer to the 5 than Lancaster. It’s where the San Gabriel’s begins. We have a land conservancy here where natural springs are maintained and cameras are seeing deer, big cats 5-6 and the occasional bear. I have always said it’s a short cut (Tehachapi to points below in the San Gabriel’s) and although I’d agree this was in the past “mostly” I don’t think them fully gone from the area because sightings do occurs to this day. I also don’t think the short cut they used was the only route. As we know Frazier Park and Tejon Ranch areas have had sightings and from reports so has smaller communities near me like Lake Hughes and Lake Elizabeth which is much further west than say the Tehachapi to the Cajon Pass route. I love this wild and wonderful history we have of this mammal in my backyard. Again thanks for the light you shown on this subject in my hood. I always have my eyes peeled especially being the Mojave. It’s a mysterious place. Happy hunting.

[@marcglenwright2185]

The reason I got into watching sasquatch documentaries was because of the enthusiasm of Mr Moneymaker so it's great to see him pop up here.

[@easylivingsherpa]

These things are interdimensional. Ridges don't stop it and they could care less about them. Once they do that plasma shift nothing stops them. Thats how they also got into the secure tunnels at Edwards air force base. I also know that Matt knows what these things are capable of but the money train needs to keep running for him. Great documentary btw. Always in good form.

[@robthornton9129]

Yes, there are quite a few places where they can get under the 15 freeway but from Barstow to Bakersfield, I can remember only one bridge and it’s west of Tehachapi

I'm NOT an expert, but I must say that I think the whole call blasting/vocalizing approach isn't going to give the kinds of results we are really looking for. I understand it's something that Matt likes to do, but unfortunately, very rarely will you get a response back and it could be due to many factors, including a possible fact Sasquatch just might not be in the area. I would highly suggest trying to bring the Sasquatch in, by other means, such as just being yourselves or playing music, instruments, laughing or singing. Maybe, using colorful lighting.
