Bigfoot can be tongue-in-cheek fun - but what happens if you take it seriously? There are the people who’ve risked their professional careers and personal reputations, and expended a lot of time, money and energy seeking out Sasquatch. We’ll attend an exclusive symposium, for the crème de la crème of Bigfoot researchers, and hear from many who’ve been ridiculed for their interests.

0:00.0 | For a creature that remains undocumented and unknown, the debates over Bigfoot are surprisingly |
0:06.8 | divisive. All groups have factions and alliances and disputes, and the Bigfoot community is |
0:13.0 | no different, arguing over the fine points of where Bigfoot lives, how best to track |
0:17.7 | them, what they eat, where they sleep, and, as we've heard, whether it's kosher to kill |
0:23.8 | one. But the most obvious division is between the scientific researchers and something called |
0:29.9 | the Wu. The Wu is the easy way out if you can't explain it. It's all aliens. Aliens |
0:37.6 | shot Bigfoot off. That's what it is. I mentioned the Wu very briefly back in episode three when |
0:42.6 | we talked about evidence, like footprints and sounds and photographs. It's a subset |
0:47.8 | of Bigfoot society that subscribes to magic to the paranormal, and they have all kinds |
0:52.7 | of theories that are pretty out there, like the idea that Bigfoot can cloak itself. |
0:57.6 | I've seen things in the woods that the only way I can explain it is there was something |
1:02.5 | that was cloaked. Very much like you would see in the movie Predator, this thing moving |
1:08.5 | through the brush, and it's a shimmering transparent effect. Or that it exists in a different |
1:15.0 | dimension. This is more evidence to support the multi-dimensional, interdimensional, the |
1:22.4 | Sasquatch walking into worlds. Or the Bigfoot is an alien. So you may say, well, how do they |
1:28.8 | get there? They were dropped off by a spaceship. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. A whole |
1:35.6 | lot of people put paranormal spins on Sasquatch. It drives serious Bigfoot researchers crazy. |
1:42.8 | Why do they call it the Wu? So it got termed Wu, you know, as Wu, it's out there. There's |
1:50.2 | a pretty stark line between the Wu and the science-minded. But the world tends to lump all |
1:55.6 | Bigfoot people into one group, which makes things that much harder for those approaching |
2:00.4 | Bigfoot scientifically. The Wu is silly, it's fantastical, it's the stuff of tabloids. And |
2:06.7 | it captures the attention of the general public, turning everything related to Bigfoot into |
