- For this week's adventure, Luke is going back to the Green Forest for part 2 of the Viewer Requested Series Called The Search For Bigfoot.
With all of the strange experiences and sounds that have been heard here, could they be the mysterious creature known as Bigfoot or was it something else?
In this episode, Luke deploys trail cameras all across the mountain and discovers something very interesting.

Was anyone else looking behind Luke into the forest while he was doing this? Scanning the woods for movement? Or was it just me? LOL
The last few he did when it was foggy too. Lol thought it was just me.
Always, ever since I started watching Steve Isdahl I always watch the background.
I was!
Yeah I was checking the background 😂
I was too. Didn't see anything.
Luke, I had my own encounter with a bigfoot back in 1972 in Kansas when I was 10 years old. I was wading barefoot up a creek in the woods near my childhood home when I heard splashing like someone was following behind me in the creek. When I turned around to see who was there, to my shock and surprise, I saw an 8 foot tall, huge ape like creature standing on two legs and covered in black hair, but with a man's face. Frozen with fear, I then watched the bigfoot merely turn to walk up a steep hill and quickly disappear out of sight. It never once tried to harm me. Now at 61 years of age, I think back to that experience and wonder if the sasquatch had followed me to watch over a small boy alone in the woods that day. Truly unforgettable! You may try following any creeks or streams in the area and look for tracks along the banks. All living creatures need to drink water to survive. Needless to say, I am a believer!
@Joe Thomas Fascinating indeed! If you were able to get a good look at the face, Hidden Existence, Daniela and Larry Batson do a show where Daniela interviews the experiencer while Larry draws the details like a crime sketch artist. You end up with an image of what you witnessed. It can be very cathartic to get it out of your head onto a paper you can show others, “This is what I saw!”
@@IronDogger That is a good idea, I was afraid to tell my parents back then, never did really. Only told my wife after we had been married for 20 years!
@@joethomas1427 l believe you. He was probably looking out for you. Please look up the Xanue Forest people if you want to know the truth about Sasquach
@@jerrybartlett273 I did look up the Xanue Forest People, the one that I encountered years ago looked like a really tall hairy man. To me at least it exhibited human intelligence, if it was an ape I probably would not have made it out of the woods that day.
Dr. Matthew Johnson went from the bipedal ape theory to forest people. Very interesting website.
@joethomas 1427 that's a good story. I do believe that there are such a thing. But never encounter it. Nor do I wanna see one. It'll change me as a human being.
Hi Luke, amateur Bigfoot investigator from the Pacific Northwest here. Kudos on your observational skills and your healthy skepticism! About the quartz pebbles, the Bigfoots (aka Sasquatches) have been reported to leave pretty objects such as pebbles, feathers, bones, even discarded toys where people pass, as if they intended for the objects to be found. The juveniles play with such things too, as our children do.
I suspect that the moss torn off of trees and rocks, and overturned logs, is evidence of bear activity. On the other hand, saplings that are broken, with the tops nowhere near, imply that something with intention did it. A hallmark of Sasquatch tree breaks is twisting. That can only be done by something with hands, that is very strong. If you're ever in the Northwest, drop by the North American Bigfoot Center in Boring, OR, owned and managed by Cliff Barackman, for more insights into Sasquatch evidence and behavior.
I think you stated once that Bigfoots have never been seen. Perhaps that was unintentional, anyway it is not true. At the Bigfoot Field Research Organization's site bfro.net, you can find hundreds of sighting reports by more or less reliable witnesses, including some law enforcement officers. All of those have been vetted by amateur investigators like myself. And lastly, the most convincing video of a Bigfoot that I know of was filmed in 1967 in northern California by Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin. You can find a stabilized version (i.e. camera shake removed) at ruclips.net/video/Q60mSMmhTZU/видео.html. Note the "Compliant Gait" with knees always bent and minimal bobbing up and down. If you look closely, you can see muscles moving under the skin; that is not a person in a suit, let alone the kind of suit that was available in 1967!
Keep up the good work! Peter S.
Dang, I wish I knew about that resource in Boring, OR. I used to live down the road from there. ButI didn't know squat about BFback then.
Other bigfoot researchers are also finding large amounts of quarts rocks. I follow a few teams and they run in to this frequently.
As a fellow outdoorsmen I haven’t seen anything out of the usual in my years in the woods. That said, I’m a firm believer in keeping my mind open. There is so much we don’t know in this world.
A Lot of people that have hunted all there life haven't seen a thing out of the ordinary ! And then all of the sudden ! They start showing themselves ! And tree Knox ! 👣
Same here!
America's National Parks are visited by MILLIONS of people every year, and descend upon nature armed with every kind of camera there is. If Bigfoot exists in any numbers at all, there would be far MORE sightings and video than there are.
My mind is always open to the truth, not obviously made-up stories for a click. Something's watching me. Something's out there. I saw something. In your dreams.
You don't find them, they find you! They won't let you see them unless they want you to. As a lifetime hunter and outdoorsman, and former fisheries and wildlife officer I've spent thousands of hours in the forest and woods and never seen anything out of the ordinary, until we lived at my family farm in Southern Michigan. We had an entire summer of tree knocks around our house and whoops in our woods, then the following spring a face to face encounter that changed me from a skeptic to a knower
Can you tell more of your story? What happened during your encounter? How well did you see this thing? I was born in Michigan and absolutely love it, though I haven't lived there since I was a kid. I'm amazed at how many of these stories I've heard about over the years that have occurred in Michigan.
Curious about your encounters, I also grew up in southern Michigan and had a life changing encounter there when I was 8.
You should share your history
He is so naive, Of who these people are. He's looking at him like animals, They are not. The emperor read on his cameras hurt their eyes and they see it.
@@philiptaylor2567 me too.
Bc.
Love mich.
But if I ever was to go back, it would be NORTH if GR.
We had a chalet in Ross Common off 18 left just passed the 2 canoe liveries and above the Ausobo (sp) River.
Dead end road and the Nat forest across the road from chalet which our family built as dad was transfered to an outfit on 18 before you get into Ross Common.
A week before we were to move in dad was again transfered to Bellville.
He did time studies for different business
I wonder if anything would happen if you were to gather enough of those quartz stones to place into a small pile out in the open with a trail cam looking at it. Then come back to it in about a week or so and see if anything has disturbed the pile.
Trail cams are a surefire way to get rid of sasquatches. Don't ask me why, I can only speculate, but we've used it successfully to chase one off that was harassing a friend's llamas and livestock. Both sasquatch and ravens (and humans lol) do like shiny things!
@@lanecountybigfooters5716 Interesting !!
Trail cams WILL RUN THEM OFF PERIOD!
He was saying that people say that Sasquatch see in infrared. That’s not what people say. People say they can see light on the infrared spectrum. Big difference. I was a skeptic for decades, but I’ve heard too many stories from people I respect to be a skeptic anymore.
Me: laughs in magpie...
Good plan though.
It’s so hard to communicate with you when some of us sound like we are nuts, but actually there are few that take it seriously and are not goofy lol.
Buddy we all sound goofy as hell... Doesn't mean we are wrong though. I'm curious if maybe they are actually sensitive to magnetic fields because quartz naturally aligns itself with north as it forms so if you could see or feel the field it could act as a signpost system. See now I sound like a crazy but I might be right, might be wrong, but I might be right.
Not only birds but rain can cause the quartz in the moss ,the rain washes the quartz downhill where it catches in the moss ,this is usually after heavy rain . Love your adventures , especially now i can't get out to see it myself.Thanks Luke and Suzie x
Why is it just quartz and not other rocks though.
@@Americaisplastic36 Other rocks have different properties and don't get caught up. Also, the quartz gets built up on top of the moss over time when other rock and dust particles are lighter and smoother and get washed away the quartz is left behind ( i think lol)
@@Americaisplastic36 As for birds transporting them, maybe they're more attracted to the quartz pebbles because they are bright? Birds like shiny things. Just a thought.
This series is going to be an awful lot of fun Luke. I think the quartz crystal might be from ravens because they collect pretty things. And it is almost the start of nesting season. I can’t wait to see the photos that you get. I think you’re doing an excellent job and I look forward to the next video. Kathy.
I agree with the Corvid theory. Crows, Ravens and Jays will pack around pretty little things they find and then get board or distracted by something, maybe a bug, and leave them behind. These rocks are small enough to be carried by a medium size bird, they also appear tumbled, is there a creek or river within a couple of miles of this area? I have heard stories of Bigfoot having a connection to quartz before, but those stones tended to be much bigger than what your finding.
I agree, ravens or Canada jays. @@sherrinewell2105
Bowerbirds, magpies, black kites and bald eagles are just some of the types of birds that steal trash and other items to make their nests. Magpies and bowerbirds collect baubles and trinkets to decorate their nests. Black kites use it to signify dominance and to scare off intruders
You beat me to it, that's what I came here to say lol
@@barryrosenlieb6092ya and you both beat me, I agree
I remember watching a wildlife photographer on the BBC talking about the endless hours cramped in a hide filming the Bower bird in the jungle of Papua New Guinea, i think - it was building it's elaborate bower on the jungle floor and somehow it found a discarded Snickers wrapper which it added to the bower - he thought it had fallen out of his pocket ! He caught it on film.
Makes sense Chuck regarding the birds. But for the Bigfoot Believers our there (I am a skeptic, or wanna believer) so the possibilities are cool to think about. But being from the gold country in California, most gold mines out here are full of quartz. Any caves out there Luke where Quartz could be pulled from, or something could be living in? :) It could be used as trail markers since it has such a contrast sitting on the green moss.
I agree, birds are most likely the culprit for rocks in the moss.
I'm a skeptic of everything, including Bigfoot, and that's why the search is so much fun for me. I want to know if it's real. I WANT to believe. That's why I love episodes like this. Keep up the awesome work. 👍🏻
The statement, "I WANT to believe" is antithetical to skepticism.
I hope there are a mammal like Bigfoot, Lochness Monster, Thunderbirds, etc. But I doubt they exist, but it would be cool if they do.
🤫😉 He doesn't know "they" are behind him & are always around watching fr behind the foggy "veil/grid."
One just needs to zoom in and look very carefully because "they" are there & sometimes the "veil" is on clear but blurry & we can still see "them" while they sit very still waiting & watching for you to leave.
I love camping & have a cabin now I can't wait until I go out to see if "they" are in our area too! 😬 ☺
Stay safe out there y'all❣🙏🏼✌
Hi Luke, sasquatch do not like trailcams because it is said they can see infrared light and therefore avoid. Scott Carpenter said if you want your campsite to be left alone, install the cams in triangulation. Glad to see you do this and I hope you do a night camp there.
But you know what trail cams DO intrigue? … bears.. so idk about setting up trail cams around your camp
it is more likely that they avoid them because they are a foreign element, this has been known to happen with other great apes, which not only detect these cameras but some also change their pathways to avoid them, this to me seems more likely than the ability to see infrared light.
My personal experience which happened in Pennsylvania in a huge state park. Anyway when I became a believer the forest had wood knocking during the day. Then I found strange structures. Lastly the night we had our encounter dead silence. I mean not one bug bird or anything made a sound. Then afterwards like someone turned the volume up. The other thing was the overwhelming fear that just washed over me. I’m a veteran and a ex boyscout. I camped in those woods my whole childhood and never had anything happen.
That night scared us so bad we left the tent and everything in it.
Don’t know if it was Bigfoot but it was big and it moved like nothing I’ve ever seen. Don’t really care if anyone believes me. I wrote it for the ones that know what I’m talking about. Something is in some of these woods . I don’t trust our government to be honest. I’m not saying it’s good or bad. I’m just saying to many have experienced something for it to be nothing.
I'm rom Pa, I believe you. Which county?
I am Shure that there's way more out there than we know of, if a virus leaks out of a lab than why can't it be a creature? Nope I don't trust gouverments either, they experiment on everything, manipulate and hybrid every creature on this planet if it is even a planet we live on ... People may believe what ever they want ... Call me crazy as much as they want ... All I say is I do believe there's more out there than we know of ...
Cherry springs??
Just because a lot of people are delusional it’s true? Yeah, makes sense… 😂
Maybe you can burn a innocent person alive and call it a witch.
Or turn it into a god just like the other 10.000 of them.
It’s all the same. Your mind.
Grow up.
@@richardhenry1969 What an incredible story. Thanks for sharing it. I only wish you'd got a glimpse of what touched the tent. Also, how did it get away so quickly? Didn't you hear the rustling as it scampered away? [Not doubting you ...] Could more time have passed from the tent-poke up until the two of you went outside. I'd think you'd seen it (or someone) running away or moving opposite away from the tent. Hopefully, you understand what I am saying or asking. Do you have any comments on that?
You must get with Les Stroud. You two would make a great pair in either outdoor activities or searching for Bigfoot. Can't wait for your next Bigfoot search episode.
Exactly what I was thinking. Les Stroud has become a believer, although he won't admit it publicly.
Geo-archaeologist checking in. Re: the quartz. There are two possibilities that immediately come to mind. First: given the smooth appearance of the crystals they appear to have been tumbled, which tells me they are possibly the work of humans. A person may have placed the crystals in those areas as part of a nature ritual of some sort (likely protection as that is the most common use for white/clear quartz).
The second possibility is that the crystals were moved into the subsurface soil by tectonic upward thrust when those mountains were being uplifted. The freeze/thaw cycles and erosion of the soils would have pushed those stones onto the surface soil, when the moss was growing it would have grown under the stones, pushing them up as the moss grew resulting in the stones being on the surface of the moss. Which one of these scenarios is more likely, I can't say without examining the stones. Oh, and the smooth surface of the stones could have resulted from simple water and soil erosion over hundreds of years as the stone traveled to the surface soil.
The quartz is interesting. The rest are totally explainable.
In the mid 1960’s I lived in Washington state boyfriend was a great outdoorsma. Every weekend his was up in the hills. Hunting fishing and camping. One weekend came back Saturday afternoon. Very surprising. We took film to Pay Less drugs to get developed. Very un usual pictures. Large bipedal animal. Nothing I ever saw before, but until his death some forty years later he never entered the outdoors again. Make of it what you will
I think for the small rocks on the moss it's birds, especially ravens and crows, they do this at my location routinely. Moss torn from bottom of trees and fallen timber most likely smaller mammals like badger, bobcat, raccoon or maybe deer and bear. If I were looking for BF, it would be foot path or 7ft+ up trees etc.. Those logs were most likely rolled over by a black bear looking for grubs, YMMV! Now awaiting the video with the culprits caught in the act. Thanks Luke👍👍 fun outing and great filming as always.
I have backpacked 3/4 of the world while in the military 23 years and in my travels as a civilian. It's been a total of 63 years. For the last two plus years I have been a van lifer traveling and living in my van conversion covering almost 30,000 miles. I have never seen any creatures other than the usual or "normal" wildlife...and a few scary humans.
You said, “If bigfoot exists, it’s an animal, it’s a creature.” I think if bigfoot exists (there would have to be a population of them) they are a kind of people, that are as least as intelligent as we are. In addition, they would know their home, the forest where they live, the way we know our house and yard. Would you notice if someone entered your house and put up a camera? Most likely.
So glad to see you doing this. Even if you never find a thing, the forest you walk in is beautiful, your commentary is interesting. I would love to see much more!
I have had a sasquatch experience while camping, I know it's all real. I am in my mid 60's, and hope to get back out camping soon. Watching your video is quite motivating! Thanks!
I would love to hear your experience, I also believe it's real, to many people have seen it
@@lindawalsh3469 me too
I was a skeptic on Australian bigfoot(yowie), same goes for ufos. Until you see and or witness them yourself and unfortunately 25-30 yrs ago I had the pleasure of a sighting 100-200 meters ahead, stood 6.5ft maybe a little taller, 10 secs of visual and to this day I believe, and I'm not seeing things nor crazy. But they are very elusive, they adapt, blend into their surroundings, which makes you second guess yourself. When you have that feeling of being watched, a chill runs down your spine, your hearing heightens, your eyes playing tricks or is it that the brain cannot comprehend what you saw due to all the skepticisms behind it.
When you start questioning yourself what real and whats not, is it paradolia or paranoia. The answer will be not what you would expect??????????
Aloha Cassie, I've been scanning too. Your not alone in this 🤗⚘⚘⚘
I absolutely love the green forest. I would love to be walking around and enjoying the solitude. I love thunderstorms as much as you😊 Luke. ☺️
Hi from Scotland 🏴 love that you’re doing this even if you never find anything !! Just walking with you in this beautiful forrest is amazing, keep up the good work stay safe all the best from Scotland 👣🥃🏴
What do u mean even if he doesn't find anything, u hardly believe that bull do u.
@@martymartin2894 each to their own IF YOU DON’T BELIEVE DON’T WATCH 😳
✌️🇺🇸 🤝🏴 ✌️
Wonder if Bigfoot to the Americans is like the Loch Ness monster to us, there are way more Bigfoot evidence right enough 🏴🏴🏴
@@martymartin2894 You may be surprised what can be found by keeping an open mind. I believe it is some specimens of an known species doing behaviour that is rarely filmed. There have been so many credible sightings. Have fun with it.
Bigfoot or not, i love watching Luke walk through this beautiful forest!!!
I am a Professor in a college of engineering and have degrees in Physics and Computer Science. I’ll use round numbers to explain this. The human visual system is capable of seeing wavelengths from about 400 nanometers (blue color) to about 700 nanometers (red color). Trail/game cameras use a passive infrared detector (PIR) to detect the heat of any passing animal. These detectors do not emit any radiation (passive) and are sensitive to energies (heat) in the 10,000 nanometer range. Since these cameras can take pictures in daylight or night, they commonly use silicon in the CCD array. Silicon can is sensitive to wavelengths from about 400 nanometers to about 1200 nanometers (infrared). The problem is the IR LED used to illuminate the scene at night (when a warm object is detected by the PIR) emits radiation in the 700 to 1000 nanometer range. Most humans cannot see this, but it is very possible that some animals can. I have had game cameras set up in my back yard for years as I live on the edge of town. I have captured images of many animals (deer, fox, coyotes, birds, etc) over the years. One summer I had a rabbit that apparently could see the IR LED flash as the rabbit would come right up to the camera to get its picture taken! It didn’t matter what tree I put the camera on, that rabbit would find it and get its picture taken. I got a lot of pictures of its eye right up against the camera.
Luke and his mixture of coffees. Classic.
Im just wondering why you try to find traces at the BASE of trees if searching for a 7-8 Feet tall creature traces. Shouldn't you look higher in the trees ?
Thanks for doing this, Luke. Love your views on life as well as the approach you're taking here. Can't wait for more. Strength and honor, my friend...and hopefully bigfoot.
Yeah, that's what I'd like to see--strength and honor. Stop with the Big Foot.
Hi Luke, thank you for putting together this series for us. I guess if we allow ourselves to see things under a different prospective, well there is an old episode of yours that is pretty interesting. It was uploaded on July 31 2013. On minutes 19(stench), 56:40 (woodpecker sound like in the night), 1:02( tree falling near your tent) and 1:06(unrecognized loud sound) there are some attention catching activities. Take care
Luke you should go to that area where you heard foot steps circling around camp. Also consider time of year..possible migratory.
If you took the same route, the quartz rocks might be markers set out by an observer of your trip. See if you find any piles of golfball to baseball size rocks too off of any beaten trail and GPS mark them if you do but don't mess with them.
If you come across a good spot to leave something small (thats not food or would draw attention from smell) like a marble on top of a stump in a way it won't easily get moved off try it, don't put a camera near it though. Gps mark it and see if you find something else in its place next time you go.
Luke, have you considered marking all the places you found the white quartz on your gps and see of there is a pattern to their locations.... a trail, a border, etc. Might give some insight into their meaning. Also, is that type of quartz found locally in that area? If not, where is it coming from?
Humans pile rocks in some shitty remote places.
So they dont get lost
Great idea to mark each quartz spot and evaluating that map
It's a worthy search and I imagine lots of your viewers will enjoy it. At the very least you are objective and open minded and that's all anyone can ask for.
Even the renowned primatologist Doctor Jane Goodall believes a bipedal ape like creature is possible. As for evidence there is certainly plenty of castings that have been reviewed, see Jeff Meldrum's work. Micah Hanks is in your region and is the host of the Sasquatch Tracks Podcast maybe yall can hook up for a podcast together or at the very least be a good resource for local information on Sightings.
As for your investigation, maybe check out the closest water source to your experience with the "whoop" sound. Follow that water source looking for any game trails coming up off the water, that head towards your previous camp and set up some trail cams. Any large mammal of that size would need lots of water. Also consider exploring the remotest part of that forest. If it's where I think it is, the game lands would probably get a lot of human traffic as would the park and known camping areas. I would also consider areas with proximity to alternative food sources like a farm or landfills but with remote access.
I have a Halloween Episode Request...go in search of the Brown Mountain Lights.
Keep up the search... Strength and Honor my friend...
"My favorite part was the scary music at the end; I took it as you were about to drink some really nasty coffee!" LOL!
Part 3 has to be a night investigation! Good luck on your search 😎
Great shout.
Shut up
Yeah because stumbling through the woods at night is the best way to find a wild animal.
@@stevebarrentine6142 You don't need to stumble through the woods. Just pick a spot around the tree structures, pop a tent, start a fire, and wait.
Hi Luke. Love watching your channel. A few years ago I was bear hunting west of mt Mitchell at a very high elevation. I was following the dogs into a very remote area and came across a shelter rock and packed underneath was green fall plants packed in layers as if something was storing them to eat in winter. There were pounds of them that would take a lot of work even for a human to do.
I think might have an easy and plausible answer to your quartz question.
It could be another Big Foot hunter, marking his tracks.
Not only more plausible than a mystery monster, but it is highly possible someone has recorded you on one of their trail cams
Rocks on moss thought possibly gets stuck in paws of animals and falls out on moss. Just guessing. Neat series. Looking forward to seeing picts.
Speaking as a former Forest Ranger i've worked with US Forestry in a tree count in multiple areas in my state, Arkansas, we would track into a designated area find the Witness Trees and take a compass reading and distance to the spot to do a tree check - then we would count the number of trees, kinds of trees, size and health of those trees, and write it all down in a ledger book, i did ten of those tree counts while working for Ark. Forestry July 1994 to July 1995 -
Is there like a meaning to this story or?😂
I’m really enjoying this new series and this beautiful forrest. I love going on all your adventures, thanks for taking us along Luke!!
Most people "are Skeptics" until that first time!
After that, life will never be the same again!👍
I have had 4 close encounters, 3 of them at only 20 - 25 feet away.
I assure you 100% Sasquatch is real!
Don't worry my friend, you'll know when that first time comes!🙂
🤣🤣🤣 So is mental illness...
7:26 Oh that is deliberate and a very good sign of Sasquatch. Quartz on moss! Oh yeah. Cheers my friend. Cheers.
Hi Luke ! At. 12:47 and a little past the 2 "Xs"" are definitely. They use those as markers also look for arches with just the end pinned
i think the theory that somebody was marking a trail by quartz rocks is most reliable version
Love the series so far! Love the skeptical approach, it's nice and refreshing.. A lot of animals can see or detect IR light though so it's not that far out there.. You should try some tree knocks!
That is not "a lot" more "some".....
I’ve watched you almost since day one…I like all that you do🤗
IMHO the Patterson Gimlin film is pretty good indication these things are real.
I have personally experienced a number of incidents that leave me on the side of a believer.
I have seen barefoot tracks in snow and mud that were fresh … and very plain where the daytime temperature averaged zero… not where a human would be barefoot! At least not for long…
I have heard a horrible scream not more than 15 feet from me in a jack pine thicket you could not see through…I grew up in the woods.. I’ve heard mountain lions and most any other sound in the woods..but never one that made me pee my pants… but this one did.
Something picked up the Tongue of our 15ft travel trailer on one hunt
At least 4ft in the air spun it around 1/4 turn and slammed it down hard enough to break the tongue off at the frame… while we were in bed..not much I know of in the woods can do that.. this was all up on the California-Oregon border fen 1949- 1962 and I’ve had OTHER incidents in Colorado back in the 60’s and 70’s…I’m well over 80 years old and can’t go out anymore… but I don’t have to be convinced… some day it will all be out in the open.. probably not in my lifetime but it will come to pass.
Keep up the good work , be strong and of good courage … stay safe!👍😎😎
I love this show. I want to know too. I am open to possibilities. That quartz rock.....I am wondering if it marked directions to get back to an original point. Remember how we dropped cereal behind us as kids to find our way back home. Keep up the good work. You, I will believe. Strength and Honor.
Luke I love how you give credulity to this hunt as all your followers know you have “serious doubts” as to whether big foot exists.

It was exists! You can not see the wind, but it’s there and real.
@@JuanitaKersey Your grammar confuses me :).

@@chinglembanahakpam Steven Seagal once said "This might could have been an illusion." Redundant but still intelligable. Let's see if the tense travel mystery will be resolved by the author :).
Love the series Luke - and even more I like seeing more of the Green Forest. It looks old and wild as in not maintained. We don't have those a lot here where I am. All the weird looking trees, beard moss hanging from trees - looks like a setting for some fairytale.
I was never a true believer myself until I had my own experience camping with my son in the forest 2 years ago and it was in a spot where he and his wife had camped just 3 months before and had an experience at night of 2 owls hooting on either side of the tent for 15 minutes in a very loud way and also after my son fell back to sleep my daughter-in-law heard something huge walking up past their tent and it had a very guttural breathing like asthma. My experience was being woken at 3:00 in the morning by a slam on a tree very close to my tent that broke the branch or whatever it was so loudly I cannot believe my son and daughter did not wake up. 10 minutes later it happened again right above our camp and then 15 minutes later again down from my son and daughter-in-law's tent. They are interdimensional creatures and they can do things that nothing else on this Earth can do and they had control over who heard the sound and who did not. I was petrified laying there for 45 minutes in total fear thinking what if it comes over and touches my tent or something.thankfully nothing else happened and I really don't think they harm people unless it is deserved in some way or the people attack them or point a gun at them and they feel threatened. I've done a ton of research since all this happened and I am truly a believer now. Did you also know that there are bigfoots looking out of a cave on the Cistine (@spelling?) chapel? painting?
Hi Luke!! Beth from Boise here enjoying yet another OGR video. I LOVE Bigfoot content stories, searches etc. based on my minimal knowledge I am guessing that the quartz you’re finding may have been brought in by crows in their courting rituals. I don’t see any right now and there is no moss on the quartz so it hasn’t been there too long. Also as you are clearly stating, the disrupted moss you are finding is quite low and consistent with bear activity. Other than foot prints, what is considered Bigfoot sign is usually up high. A tree broken off in one direction thats really nothing, but many, all going the same direction (like a strong wind burst might do) there are also big foot Teepees, but those include trees often upside down. Intentionally placed.
Im seeing a lot of bear sign in the area you’re showing. The only thing I don’t suspect as bear activity is the quartz.
There is a chanel calked Buckeye Bigfoot, that has great stories on it. Nance Warren is the content creator and she gets stories from listeners. She then narrates them and has a great voice, and puts together terrific stories. You might really enjoy them on a campout. She also does shoutouts to other small creators trying to build their channels. She really is just a nice human, like you and Suzie. 🤗.
Regarding strange attributes attributed to the big guy, its pretty wild. I hear stories of shape shifting, dimension shifting, “mind speak” telepathic communication) but not all can do it apparently.🤣🤣.
Also, there is some interesting possibly compelling info in the discovery channel series Monster Quest. DNA found, Hair found, footprints, rock throwing which is commonly attributed to BF. When you get into the DNA findings, for me it becomes fascinating. When you consider that the great Silverback Gorillas were only officially identified in the 1950’s, it doesn’t seem quite as impossible anymore. Also now that the government is admitting that UFO’s are real, I find myself wondering if they aren’t also for an unknown reason suppressing the BF evidence. Im not typically a conspiracy theorist, but this does make me scratch my head a bit.
If you havent already seen the Monster quest episodes, i highly recommend them. There are some trail cam shots, and some highly educated (not idiot educated) people that say it is increasingly likely that BF does exist, and eventually it will be proven. I honestly wonder what else beyond DNA, photos and footprints 👣 are needed. Time will tell though, and with thousands of reported sightings yearly, and who knows how many more. Im sure if you saw BF you would speak up. I don’t know if I would. It can cost reputation ally, and in certain professions it could be an impediment.
Thank you Luke for making all your videos. It gets me a chance to be in the forest vicariously when Im unable to physically. I hope to work past that and do an overnight on the PCT. It would be a really big deal for me.
S&H
Beth in Boise.
hi Beth in Boise. i'm in Boise, too. i can tell that you've 'been in these hills some. great comment.
Crows have been known to move stones and shiny objects to odd places. great video adventure Luke :)
You should do some overnight. Bigfoot episodes.
Great video
Another outdoorsman down the rabbit hole 😁
It is exciting to see a respected outdoorsman begin his journey into investigating the most elusive beings in the woods and we get a front row seat!
Gimme a break. Front row seat to what? Nothing, only entertaining your fantasies of some creature that exists only in your mind.
@@boogiedaddie My mind doesn’t leave footprints in the snow for miles in -26°F in remote Alaska. 🤪
WHAT?
Thanks Luke. I appreciate that you're open and willing to explore the idea (phenomenon) of Bigfoot. We can at least conclude, at this point, that there are mysterious things we cannot explain. Strength and honor.
I think we can conclude that human beings have a propensity for telling lies.
Base Camp Chris has been covering these episodes from first hand accounts of people that have seen/heard them all over the USA. Many months of these are on YT if your interested. I’m sure they exist today and in the past.
Love him
So placing the trail cameras at shin level is so that if a harry leg goes by, you can claim it as a bear. How convenient. Placing it at head level would eliminate a bear walking on two legs going by.
I'm really excited how this series develops! I don't think for a second you'll get bigfoot on those trail cams, but yet I can't wait to see what interesting pics you get. I love trail cam stuff! I still say you need to investigate the nearby water sources. Surely bigfoot has to drink water?
Keep doing the Bigfoot episodes, I already follow Scott Carpenter, Dave Paulides and Steve Ishdal and their commentary about Bigfoot. Just watch ten to twenty episodes of The Facts by How to Hunt and you'll be a believer. Oh, and there's more out in the wood than just the big hairy guy and his family.
I too, am following these guy’s as well as “Sasquatch Theory”, where Miguel, not only has had encounters, but conducts interviews with landowners, who have these beings on their properties…which is well worth a watch…🙂
Paluides was a corrupt narcotics cop that got busted. He's still scamming tho.
Same here - watching David’s Bigfoot series is good homework. And the presence/amount of quartz in particular is tied to several metaphysical and paranormal phenomena including Bigfoot and missing people.
Same
I'm also crazy.
I'm so scared of lightening. Never underestimate mother nature's wrath. I put out a couple of listening devices around my farm and I have several recordings that blow my mind. Great content brother. Love this.
We love your adventures in the forest. This particular one is reminiscent of Les Stroud’s Survivorman Bigfoot series. That wasn’t fruitful either. Mainly we believe because of one incident in upstate New York where a rock the size of a grapefruit was thrown at us some 60 feet distance. That took super human strength. Didn’t see anyone. Didn’t hear anyone. Didn’t smell anyone. It spooked our 2 dogs to a point where we had to turn and get back to camp. So…we wish you success but stay safe out there and thanks for some great videos. You saved us much time, money and aggravation buying a lot of outdoor gear.
Les was a guest on the podcast `Sasquatch chronicles’ he says something really crazy happened worth a listen. It’s on his youtube channel worth a listen mate
@@hashnoodel2012 I agree with you. Les's episode was #500. Also, Wes really has a lot of good interviews about what people have seen and the BF behaviors. Definitely worth listening to especially while camping!
@@hashnoodel2012 yes, indeed worth the listen. But as Luke stated several times...it is not definitive proof of a Bigfoot. Believe me, our experience at Ausable was frightening because we took it as a warning to leave. We did. What threw that rock...???
Went backpacking in the Smokys this weekend and thought of you when I saw a similar mossy forest scene. Also thought of Bigfoot. 😂 Whoop!
I did not say Bigfoot has infrared vision???
I said "Sasquatch can see infrared light."
People in the military have used infrared light pointers with their night vision goggles. They say while looking at a Sasquatch , .as soon as the infrared pointer hit the Sasquatch ,the Sasquatch reacted to it by looking at the point. The thing even ran away from the point!
This may also explain why they avoid cameras or keep their distance from cameras that have infrared light?
No, game cameras use PIR, not active. Only the flash is active.
I think avoiding game cameras because of IR is reasonably debunked. (Good PIR game cameras.)
Sabe is another name. Many longtime hunters hunt in forests for years without an encounter then they do. And they have a super change of mind. BTW, Sabe see the infra red light of trail cams and avoid them. There are many animals that can see infrared light. Sabe like other animals are hungry types and they would not spend much time in areas where fish or other edible food is not. Things don't make sense. There are way too many experiences of people in different parts of the country/world that corroborate each other to a large degree to scoff at the possibility of the existence of this being.
Luke, as you progress along here over the summer, I feel like a thermal camera attachment for your cellphone could go a long way in this exploratory endeavor. As per quartz- I'd like to think it was sasquatch, but it could be anything from squirrels to crows responsible for it. It seems pretty obvious that something is placing it there. But there's so many species that like shiny things, you'd need to see who's doing it to be sure
@@joniselbe7072 some seem to. Some seem to not notice. My opinion- it depends if they're equipped with the IR. You see, the IR Cameras need to send out IR light to paint the environment with so the camera thats sensitive to it can pick it up. Although humans cannot see IR light, it's documented that some species can, snakes, insects, frogs are some. Sasquatch being warm blooded goes against that line if thinking, but we just won't know conclusively until one lets us study their vision. Anyways, I surmise that there's never a one answer fits all for anything, including sasquatch behaviour. Some are probably more finicky than others regarding cameras. Because I've seen some pretty stunning images.
@@BroncLander Even though they may not see the light lots of warm bloods have been observed detecting it on way or another, such animals like foxes, canines, ect. All seem to have reacted it the IR in one way or another
@@alexmartin5309 i have IR on my phone and it's funny because it makes my dogs eyes shine red, while my old phone doesn't have it and it makes them shine green.
The logs that were moved could easily be the work of bears.
Keep doing this series, please :) I trust you more than the others, and even if you never see anything of bigfoot, it is fun seeing the woods :)
I think this kind of adventure is so fun. Thank you.! I'll be waiting with bated breath for the out come of the trail cam pics. Wishing your entire family good health and happiness.
This is a very fun series. A nice change from normal. We are having a good time watching you find big foot 😊
Paterson / Gimlin film is a good clear video of Bigfoot.
"I just wonder what they are Researching out here".... Love how you slide in the BF comments.... Keep Squatching Bubba!!
Love the Series!
Love this series! You have a scientific mind Luke! Tree structures usually don’t have tree roots attached to it! I’m sure your wife will be happy your dry also! Lol
Great location. Interesting topic. Great photography. Really like the signature music, Luke.
Hi Luke, the white quartz could be markers left behind by someone to mark the trail. Or maybe someone has left them to see if someone or something would pick them up.... maybe you were on camera, and not one of yours. Interesting watch 👍
My wife laughs at me, but I love this stuff. The little people are putting the quartz rocks there.
Yes! 🎉 been waiting for ep 2! 👍🏼👍🏼
I love this forest! It is beautiful! Thank you for doing this episode!
Thats how bigfoot dont get lost. Those rocks Like his bread crumbs. 😅
In Australia crows pick up the oval shaped white Quartz thinking they are eggs but when they realise their hard , drop them after landing or when flying 💁🏼♂️
Lots end up on roofs !!!
LOVE this! Unbiased, skeptical yet open-minded... beautiful forest, great videos. I do believe sasquatch is real. Thank you for doing this for us. Thats also for every video you do. Much appreciated!
I was hoping the sasquatch would come up, Harry and the Hendersons mug in hand, saying, "You never said you were bringing coffee!" XD I look forward to more of the series, Luke; whatever you find, it's a beautiful place and an interesting exploration.
Hi Luke, Thank you for doing a serious study on the subject of Bigfoot. Don't have an answer about the Quartz rocks, have you thought about maybe doing some tree knocking periodically as you move through the forest? Just a thought. Thanks again for your dedication and open-mindedness regarding the subject.
A " serious study " ....🤣🤣
I hope you are armed out there and love the videos! Be safe, can’t wait to see more!
Brilliant , what a good surprise, this is going to get massive, I know you didn’t intentionally mean to do a Big Foot episode, but I’m sooooo glad you did , the green forest and quality of the background and everything amazing, wish you love light and happiness, from over here in the UK❤️
I'm from the UK too and there's a buzz going round the allotments that a Bigfoot is living in an abandoned shed and lives on a diet of turnips,salt and vinegar crisps and occasionally has a pizza delivered when there's a good game on - but i've never seen it myself although i've heard some strange goings on which i can't fathom.Oh,and some claw marks on my moss covered shed....
He didn’t intentionally mean to do a bigfoot episode? Are you ok? You are correct, he has intentionally has done two now.
i truly believe bigfoot has the ability to mindspeak. it's constantly telling me to do the dishes, bring out the trash, wash the clothes and sweep the floors for some reason💁 after i finished these tasks i hear a satisfied grunt and the communication stops.
Sasquatch is leaving you a bread crumb trail with quartz rock hahaha
I was so excited to see episode 2. Can't wait for 3. I have never seen a forest like this one. That moss is amazing and all of those fallen trees makes it look scary for sure.. You must do a night camping over and see if anything happens then. Always be safe, I don't have any idea about the rocks unless like other people say bird?
Perhaps the quartz rocks are (gastroliths) for high flying raptor species such as kites, turkey buzzards, etc.
Could the quartz chips atop moss be a Bigfoot trail sign; markers they leave for one another? After all, where there's one, there's very likely more in a given area. It may be useful to plant a trail cam to cover one of those markers, to see if anything approaches it.
Hello. Just subbed to yr channel and I had to stop yr video to make comment on the quartz. I’ve watched many videos over the years and I have witnessed BF. The BF do collect quartz and place them strategically in their “places”. It may be an energetic thing, we can only theorize on this. I’ve seen them not only on the forest floor but high up in rocky formations. I think it’s their zen place. I see in yr video a few crossed tree X’s that shows this is their place, and for us to stay out of. This is the first video I’ve seen where they place the rocks on moss on the forest floor. It’s indeed a great find for you in this episode. Glad I found yr channel! ❤ keep on keeping on as they say
Great! I didn't think ep2 was going to be released so soon!!
Made my day!
Me too!!🎉
Fun to try am Dr Bill bbc😮
Nyennnan😊im😊e
Anytime in woods is never wasted. Beautiful scenery.
MOAR BIGFOOT!!! My wife did the same thing lol! Roll her eyes and I get super excited!!!
Lol Luke, i took a shot every time you said "that's inneresting", now im intoxicated ❤
These adventures are fun! I love visiting the "green forest" with you. I love all the moss. I often wonder if bigfoot could just be random bears or something. I'm very much a skeptic too. Keep up the great work. 😊
Luke, how's it going?
I really enjoy your Bigfoot episodes. I myself, love to entertain the possibilities that this creature could actually exist and tend to be more of a believer that not.
I would not discount the abilities of creatures that we really know very little about. There are other species that can see into the infrared. The short list of known creatures are mosquitoes, vampire bats, bed bugs, beetles, some species of snakes, salmon, fox and bullfrogs. Gold Fish can actually see in both ultraviolet and infrared.
I would say, just consider the possibility until it's otherwise known, and operate accordingly.
Just saying.
Are you lonely? Lol you think he’s going to answer you?
My Father was 82nd Airborne Paratrooper Normandy..but also Army Corp of Engineers Civil and Geologist 32 years retired.The sediment of rocks travel..especially if a downpour down off the Cliffs which carry debri and rocks.
I've seen up to seven dead trees all conveniently converging in a circle around a large living pine tree. If you see something like that, too elaborate for deadfall and too heavy duty for man to arrange, consider it as likely intelligent arrangement and very good potential evidence.
Love hearing the squeaking of the trees.
