We have no way of knowing what we see in this forest. Whatever it is, it is big and powerful. There is something there that we are encountering more and more often. There are thousands of such reports in North America alone. It is possible that a being with above-average intelligence who wishes to remain elusive could exist in remote places and go unnoticed. Lumpkin County, Georgia, May 15, 2009. Deputy Sheriff T.J. Alexander patrols the haunted Chattahoochee Forest late at night.
Even on a full moon, it's really quite difficult to see anything here. The only light was the headlights of a patrol car. It's definitely a place you probably wouldn't want to be at night, you know, especially on foot, because anything could happen there Next to him is a local resident who is searching for the truth. We just talked and, you know, just chatted about everything. Suddenly, this dark, hairy figure runs across the highway right in front of me. you see this? It ran across the road so quickly and disappeared from sight, as if it knew this road and the area like the back of its hand. At that moment, my emotions were
boiling because I didn't know what it was. It was on two legs, right? Yes. I actually thought I imagined it. Oh my God, just tell me we caught it on video. My first instinct was that it was definitely an animal, but what was strange was that it seemed to be running across the highway at high speed on its hind legs. TJ rushes after the animal. I even pressed the gas too hard to get back to the spot where I saw the object disappear into the forest.
The passenger said she saw the object swaying from side to side. Did you see this? I'm not crazy. I saw something, didn't I? I.Yes, I saw that. TJ heads into the woods in search of any signs of the creature. At that point, I couldn't see or hear anything. It seemed to have disappeared. Experts are trying to identify a mysterious beast caught on a patrol car's camera. What was that? Did you see this?
Yes. Investigator Joe Nickell analyzes the recording. He believes the creature's unusual gait could be the key to the solution. When we slow down the movement, it moves very fast. It probably has four legs. It is climbing. It's almost giving up. And then it gets back on all fours before disappearing. This indicates a bear. This is a logical theory, as bears are often seen in this area. Local researcher Matt Pruitt studies bears and their habitats I mean, a black bear would be an obvious candidate , because this area is full of black bears. So drivers are not used to seeing black bears crossing the road. Black bears usually walk on four legs. But the creature in the recording seems to walk on two legs. There is evidence that bears sometimes walk
on their hind legs. In New Jersey, there was a famous animal nicknamed Pedals that constantly walked on two legs. But Pruitt doubts the bear theory because of the speed at which the creature moves. The individual in the recording covers a large distance very quickly, taking very long steps. If a black bear walked on two legs, it would take many small steps to cover the same distance. So, a black bear can be ruled out based on the stride width and speed of crossing the highway. Some suggest a completely different candidate who is better suited to long strides.
Our close relatives, the primates, are better adapted to walking on two legs than bears; In particular, gorillas are large, black, and hairy. So could it be a gorilla? This is not as strange as it seems. Local historian Jeffrey Wells wonders if the primate could be roaming the Georgia wilds. Of course, gorillas and other primates are not native to this or any other part of North Georgia. I know there's a primate sanctuary in that area, and there's a zoo in Atlanta. Perhaps the individual on the recording is one of those escaped gorillas. If this is true, then this is not the first time that a primate has been released. In 2000, tourists were evacuated when a gorilla escaped from
its enclosure at the Angeles Zoo. Pruitt checks the archives for anyone has escaped from the nearest shelter, which is there. However, something about the creature's appearance gives Pruitt reason for interesting speculation. I am well aware of sightings of another potentially bipedal primate living in northeast Georgia. Pruitt first encountered this elusive creature at the age of 17. My friends and I went to explore the place and heard someone following us on both sides. Very dense forest. Huge branches could be heard breaking and tearing off the trees, then crashing
against the trunks with a thud. And then some threatening gasps and screams were heard. And the huge tree fell to the ground. At that moment, two large almond-shaped eyes are clearly visible, shining, then closing and turning away. Pruitt believes he came face to face with the legendary Bigfoot. Bigfoot is usually described as a creature at least 2 meters tall, walking upright, covered in dark fur, moving like a human, with ape-like features, but remains completely unknown to science. Scientists have not classified every species on the planet. There are gaps in the records. dead whale washed up on the shore of St. George Island in Alaska, and it turned out that it was a completely new species of whale, unknown to science at that time.
Lyle Blackburn believes it is entirely possible that Bigfoot is one of these unconfirmed species. It is possible that a being with above-average intelligence that seeks to remain elusive could exist in remote areas and remain undiscovered. A dashcam recording could be strong evidence that Bigfoot exists. But local sheriff Stacey Girard is not convinced. He returns to the scene to find physical evidence. There were, uh, some fresh tracks not far from this place. And this, uh, circular area was full of both old and new beer cans. The beer cans told me that there were people here, not animals. I even joked to the patrol commander, " If it was Bigfoot, then
Bigfoot likes this particular brand of beer." Girard expands the search radius. He reaches a group of houses and notices several students having fun. The sheriff takes a closer look. A large fur object lies in the front yard. They thought it was a funny joke and did it for a few nights, which they confessed to me. They admitted they had the costume and, uh, promised it would n't happen again, and we haven't had any more reports of Bigfoot since. This time it might not be Bigfoot. But some still believe that the elusive creature of legend is out there somewhere, just waiting to be found. Alberta is a vast Canadian province of mountains and forests
. 61% of its territory is wilderness, and its forests are a valuable resource. More than 18,000 people work in logging here, producing timber, pulp, and biofuels. An industry that brings in $7 billion a year. It's 2015, contractors are preparing to work on a remote site and notice something lurking in the fog. One of the men grabs his phone and starts filming. A creature in the fog near the fence. Oh, yes. Okay, now I see something. Yes, yes. Yeah, he's kind of crossing over. It's quite eerie, because it's kind of a shadowy, fuzzy figure, you know, just peeking out just barely visible at the tree line. The watch in horror as this
disturbing event unfolds. They are cursing, they are scared. The workers are convinced that they saw someone or something demonstrate incredible power. It's a big creature, and I do n't think whoever filmed the video got far enough away Former NYPD image analyst Conor McCourt runs the video through his There is fog and shadows from the forest. All of this makes the image blurry. Now I will make a level adjustment. This adjusts the brightness and contrast. That's it. That's our goal right here. McCourt's enhanced image clearly shows the figure in the forest and its incredible power Wow! Whatever it is, it is extremely
powerful. I don't know the size of that tree or its weight, but man, it really flies. When you look at the size of Canada and the number of square miles that are unexplored and uninhabitable, it's impossible to say what's out there. There are thousands of reports in North America alone. There is something there that we are encountering more and more often. McCourt's analysis cannot confirm the creature's identity, but he believes the video is authentic. montages, special effects, or anything like that. But maybe something is happening, like a man in a monkey suit. This needs to be taken into account. If an ordinary person did this, it would take McCourt establishes the size and weight of the tree thrown by the alleged humanoid creature in the recording. It
looks like it's about 12 feet long. I estimated that the shell flew about 40 feet from left to right. That means this tree weighs about 175 pounds. The person who threw this log is 200 times stronger than an ordinary person. 2019 World's Strongest Man, doesn't have that much strength. We must be missing something in this video, something we're not seeing, right? For example, what could it be that could throw something so hard and so far? Workers at a construction site in the Canadian wilderness are terrified by an incredibly powerful humanoid figure that appears to throw a 175- pound tree more than 40 feet across the ground. No ordinary person could have done what was captured on video.
However, after studying the recording, Kevin Kaski suspects that it could be a powerful animal living in Alberta. In Canadian forests, the main predator is probably the grizzly bear. So, this may be exactly what we are seeing. Grizzly bears can weigh up to 1,700 pounds and can easily lift over half a ton. But they don't have hands like we do, they have four legs. It is physically impossible for them to throw the object as shown in the recording. We know examples of bears playing with rocks or moving them around, and maybe even tossing them around a bit. But the idea of a one- handed throw, like a javelin throw, is, as far as I know, something completely new.
One animal that has enough strength and agility to throw a tree trunk, as in the video, is the silverback gorilla. A male can easily lift 1,800 pounds and will aggressively defend his territory if threatened. But that's still not enough to explain the incredible power we see in the footage. It is impossible to know for sure what we see in these forests. Whatever it is, it's big and powerful. But we know for sure: if you're working in nature and see something that threw a tree that far, you're unlikely to want to be left alone. Russia is the size of the dwarf planet Pluto- over 6 million square miles-and dense forests cover over 45% of the country, more than the forests of Brazil and the United States combined. Anthropologist Dustin Grovik,
looking at the ferocious prehistoric ancestor may be lurking in the Russian forests. The way it moves, slightly hunched over, does not resemble the shape of a modern human. So I wonder if we're looking at something that's a more archaic human form, maybe like a Neanderthal. Neanderthals brutally dominated Europe and Asia for over 200,000 years. Archaeologists have found that Neanderthal brains were the same size as modern humans. But a team from the University of California discovered in February 2021 that their brains were wired differently due to genes that made their minds more primitive than those of Homo sapiens. They may have had significantly higher testosterone levels, and archaeologists have found that they were aggressive cannibals who
fed on children, infants, and newborns. Official science claims they became extinct 40,000 years ago, but here, in the Russian wilderness, strange and terrifying stories live on There is a long, very long history of evidence that these creatures may have existed in this area, exactly where this car chase was filmed. In 2016, two tourists claimed to have seen something that looked like a Neanderthal run out in front of their car at night as they were driving near Mount Iremel here in Bashkortostan. If I were looking for a Neanderthal population, the Russian wilderness would be a great place to start. It's a huge area, sparsely populated, a great place to hide. In 2012, Russian officials issued a press release claiming to have evidence of a
Neanderthal-like creature living in the cave. They found an unusual hair in the cave and took it to a lab for testing. Professor Valentin Sapunov says that DNA analysis gave him over 60% confidence that the hair belongs to a large humanoid creature, close to humans, but different. So, this raises a lot of questions about the creature we see in the rearview mirror of this car. Can we really observe a Neanderthal here, alive in our time? Compared to modern humans, Neanderthals are more muscular and hairy, which leads me to believe that what we're looking at could potentially be a Neanderthal. It would be amazing if Neanderthals somehow survived for 40,000 years, remaining unnoticed. But
historian Dr. Karen Bellinger wonders if this non-human creature is not a prehistoric relic at all, but a Neanderthal created recently in a Russian laboratory. There is an extremely interesting scientific experiment in Russia called, which is essentially an attempt to recreate the landscape and wildlife of the last ice age. Since 1988, scientist Sergei Zimov has been populating the Russian wilderness with descendants of animals that became extinct over 10,000 years ago. We're talking about a time when predators like saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths roamed the plains. You know, cruel species of animals.
Zimov hopes to use cloned woolly mammoths to populate his park. He took a cue straight from the book of whoever created Jurassic Park in the movies. Well, we know how that ended, right This study inspired a grand return to the Ice Age-an attempt to recreate a living Neanderthal. The research team sought to use genetic engineering to alter the DNA in a human cell so that it matched that of a Neanderthal. But have Russian authorities gotten ahead of them by using Zimov's work to create neo-Neanderthals, potential supersoldiers of the future? Could the creature chasing the car have been revived from prehistoric times? Looking at this creature, even while driving through the window of a fleeing car, it becomes obvious that it is much larger than an
ordinary person. Neanderthals were significantly wider than modern humans and had more muscle mass, but were stocky. The average height of a Neanderthal skeleton is only 163 centimeters, about the same as Napoleon. Whatever is haunting these teenagers appears to be at least two meters tall.
