0:00.0	I'm Laura Norton, and this is One Strange Thing, the show where we search the nation's
0:10.1	news archives for stories that can't quite be explained.
0:30.1	If you followed one strange thing for a while, then you might know that we have long to cover the creature known as Bat Squatch.
0:36.9	Because, really, the name is enough to get us excited about all the paranormal possibilities. Tragically, though, we've never found enough
0:40.1	coverage to make up a full-length episode. But now, strangers, things have finally changed,
0:46.8	and we can bring you a fascinating and very weird story. Now, we will be the first to say that we have covered plenty of squatches on this
0:57.3	podcast. Really, the variety is endless. Whether we're talking skunk apes or grassmen or any

2:13.1	But a flying Sasquatch bat combo that is tied to volcanoes in the United States, we feel
2:19.5	like that's a pretty specific combination of weird, and it is just our type of weird too.
2:26.9	So to get to Bat Squatch, we have to start in Washington State, home of Mount St. Helens.
2:33.5	As you hopefully learned in some class or other, Mount St. Helens. As you hopefully learned in some class or other,
2:36.2	Mount St. Helens is not just a geographical feature of the Cascade Range. It's also an active
