| 0:00.0 | The Welcome back, everyone to one thousand one heroes, legends, histories, |
| 0:31.4 | and mysteries. |
| 0:32.4 | This is your host, John Hagadorn. |
| 0:34.8 | And today, Bigfoot, the legend lives. |
| 0:38.5 | No mythical monster or legend has ever dominated the media and the imagination as thoroughly as Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, as many prefer to call him. |
| 0:48.5 | He is a worldwide legend and one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of our time. |
| 0:55.9 | In North America, particularly, |
| 1:01.5 | the Northwest U.S. and Southwest Canadian wildernesses, there are more than 60 names for Sasquatch. Many of these names can be broken down in English to mean the Wild Man of the Woods. |

| 1:51.5 | the abominable snowman story had hit the worldwide press and captured people's imaginations. |
| 1:57.0 | It had also apparently captured the imagination of science's worst enemy, hoaxers, one such |

| 2:07.5 | logger site with them, hoping for attention, which he received, and we'll tell his story later |

| 2:14.6 | Bigfoot slash Sasquatch, whichever one you want to call it, has been seen, photographed, caught on |
