| 0:00.0 | I know Sasquatch's real animals. I've seen them attract them, I've smelled them. I know they're real. There's no doubt. |
| 0:08.0 | To me, that means their discovery or academic acceptance is inevitable. It will happen. Some hunter will pull a trigger one day and kill one. |
| 0:17.0 | Or maybe a logging truck will hit one on the way to work. Something will happen and a corpse will come in and then the mystery will be over. |
| 0:31.0 | Okay, raise your hand if you believe in Sasquatch. Like who here actually believes in Sasquatch? |
| 0:36.0 | Oh my goodness. Both my producers hands are raised. All right, Chelsea, you're nodding your head over here. Like, what is your experience with Sasquatch? |
| 0:45.0 | So, 16-year-old me popped in a pickup truck with three of my friends and we drove to Eastern Washington on a whim. |
| 0:53.0 | So we had no place to stay or anywhere to go. So we just drove up a forest service road and our plan was to sleep in the back of the truck. |
| 1:01.0 | And we were just hanging out and we started hearing these weird noises that were unlike any noise I've heard. |
| 1:08.0 | And I've been camping my whole life. I've been outside, I've done backpacking, I've done all of that. |
| 1:13.0 | It was like a weird kind of like deep huffing noise. It wasn't a bear that wasn't anything. |
| 1:18.0 | And so we sent my friend Jake out to go explore with his airsoft rifle, which would do nothing. |
| 1:24.0 | And he just about 10 minutes later, he just came screaming back to the car and said he saw like a big thing in the distance. |
| 1:31.0 | And then for the rest of the night, we just kind of hear these these deep grumbly noises from in the distance off in the trees. |
| 1:37.0 | So we didn't impersonate that grumbly noise. Absolutely not. |
| 1:42.0 | Come on, it's like Sasquatch made a noise. |
| 1:44.0 | No, no, no, it was a lot more subtle. It was like a deep rumbling. |
| 1:50.0 | It's like more, you know, from your throat or like guttural than you would ever hear come from a creature. |
| 1:55.0 | Which is why it was so scary to us because it wasn't like anything we'd ever heard before. |
| 1:59.0 | Okay, Sylvia, you believe in Sasquatch for real? |
| 2:02.0 | Well, before we interviewed Cliff, I didn't, but now I do. |
| 2:07.0 | What did you change your mind? |
| 2:09.0 | The way that Cliff talks about like the footprints and stuff and how it couldn't be possible for it just to be someone in a suit doing the footprints given like where the ankles and the toes and everything hit. |
