I've become simply addicted to these Sasquatch documentaries and I feel that SENSEIS Breedlove,Petakov,Watson,are like my friends nowadays. Thanks Small Town Monsters.✊🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🇧🇷🖤
I lived in Lytle creek back in 2000 my dad was driving his car up the mountain just after mid night going 40 he said something big ran along side his car and screamed though the window he said he’s never stepped on the gas so fast in his life true story you never know what around you.

This just hit me. Growing up in Upland which is at the bottom of Mount Baldy, sometimes we’d go to the 91 down Euclid which went past the 1776 dam and we were always told “monkeys” lived there.

@@dsbmitchell heard the stories from multiple adults when cruising through the area. I recall the monkey stories (never where they came from or how) were interesting but the creepy “green mist” scared is enough to never stop and cruise through the area. Fog is always common in that area which made it more spooky. As for anything remotely close to evidence I’ve personally scene of Sasquatch would be what I though looked like a tree break in the San Gabriel Maintains on a week long solo backpacking venture in winter of ‘19/‘20.

This series is just so good - and so well done. Excellent work by everybody involved.
It's cool to hear reports from my old hometown. That area was no where near as populated as it is now back in the 90's when I lived there and I remember hearing some interesting stories. Glad we made it on the sasquatch map!
I love your series on Sasquatch, especially the stories about West Virginia, with Big foot. Another series I enjoyed was Scott Carpenters, he just had a way of making the story of big foot, come alive for me. I'll never forget Scott, who left us, WA too soon.
I just love the Southern California episodes..👍🏻.. I believe to have had some activity in Southern California,,, one sighting and two audio within the Idyllwild area, Descanso, and outskirts of Joshua Tree
This is so relaxing to listen to… my cousin her sister-in-law and my friend saw one in the 70’s and it was in my little town so that was really overwhelming as a kid.
I grew up in the Inland empire (now live in San Diego) not far from Mt. Baldy. There is some super thick terrain from Lytle creek to Baldy that is nearly impossible for normal humans to traverse. I believe Sasquatch likes to use the PCT & come back down from the Sierras during the winter time. Some also travel from San Diego up to the inland empire also using the PCT
Oh my gosh!!!! I lived in Anaheim (just blocks south of Knotts Berry Farm) and I remember those sightings!!!! In my memory, which is that of a young kid, that sighting was even reported on the news but was later tied to a homeless man who was also doing some peeping tom. I was not of an age to be reading the paper every day for Bigfoot reports but DANG!!!! this episode brought back some memories. I remember I used to sleep with my window open (curtains drawn but window open for the breeze) and after the sighting, I couldn't leave it open. Wow!!! Thank you for the stroll down memory lane.
STM continues to hit home runs with every episode. This episode was no different. 😊
You killed it yet again Eli. Great interviews with actual witnesses. No fluff. One suggestion, lose those fake Sasquatch suits and traffics. They look soooo bad. Keep up the good work

Yes, exactly
In the late 80’s we used to go up to the shooting area in Lytle Creek. Back then you could continue walking up north through the creek. There used to be many small dams and broken trees, berries. I was a kid and sometimes when we’d go there I had the feeling of being watched. As an adult in the 90’s I would go off old Route 66 off the 215fwy. Cleghorn exit used to go there with my dog. I felt like I was being watched. That was over 30 yrs ago. Also used to fish at lost lake in that same area

I think Eli is doing a great job on this series and I enjoy watching them.
Thank you for doing this documentary. I can't believe it. I live one block away from the buena foot sighting. The coyote creek is right behind me. So crazy the sighting is so close from where I live. Never would I have imagined. I worry about coyotes at night, now I have to watch out for big foot 😮😂 thank you again.
Eli love the content living in socal like hearing the story. Stay safe my friend. Will keep my eyes open for Sasquatch on the PCT it's only a half mile away.
Great interview with Robroy. I met him recently. I very genuine and warm soul.
This is the only show I have ever watched an rewatched with no issue. This series is the pinnacle of organic scripting and friends searching for the unknown. Please give us triple the content. I watch this everyday before sleep.

Superb as always, I really like this series.
One theme I keep hearing is how parents wouldn’t believe their children about a Bigfoot sighting and blame it on a bear, take for instance the instance were the teenager goes out side to relieve himself, if he had been 20 foot away from a bear and ran back to the house the bear would have gave chase and caught him unless he was like maybe 5 foot away from the house. If you run a bear will chase you and they are really really fast.
Great series Eli! I have enjoyed every show. You have put much work into each one. Thanks! Keep them coming!
There may be big Bigfoot shoes to fill, but you guys do so admirably! Good to give a nod to those who came before you. Keep up the great work ✅
As a person well versed in wildlife calls i can assure you he exists. We heard one in 1978 and it was frightning. Nothing sounds like sasquwatch. Especially in the redwoods
Great job! Been getting caught up on some of the older ones.
Keep going so interesting ! Plus, your filming is great.
This Sasquatch series is riveting, thank you. I look forward to each episode, great work. Anna
I just heard Eli on Bigfoot and beyond podcast,talking about this episode and bunch of stuff like his background and how he got into this stuff.

I've watched most of your Bigfoot documentaries , I do enjoy them. One of the big questions I have regarding your reporting of encounters, is why Sasquatch is mainly reported as ape-like in your series. I have watched and listened to hundreds and hundreds of accounts. I am sure with all of the interviewing and research you have been doing that you are well aware that most people report, when having a anything close to a fairly good view of the subjects face and features, the consensus is it looks human. Those are the majority of reports. That is especially including hunters who have a very close look with the scope on their guns. They more than 9 times out of ten say they couldn't shoot it after they saw the face which looked too human, which made them feel like they'd be killing a person (not an ape or an animal). Anyhow just wondering with all of the info out there most to the contrary of an ape, why do you stay with and stick with the ape narrative?
@BinroWasRight

These terms get confused a lot. But we are primates, great apes and human, and if Sasquatch is the last of those it must be the former two also. Sightings vary a lot from heavily ape-like yet bipedal features to something hairy and large but very human-like in the face. Either way, they are enough like us that it gives hunters pause. At least this is what I've seen, read and researched.

Wes of Sasquatch Chronicles has observed from the accounts told to him(thousands of them) that there appear to be four main types, but generally, there is the Paddy type in the north, that resemble humans more closely, and more chimp-type in the south. It's still a mixed bag based on accounts, but they seem to have regional differences.

What fascinates me is that every single story describes each one a little differently. Videos/pictures of "the real thing" are more human-like in the face. Those that are guessing give us more of a child-like version. With some pictures shown, I think to myself, "if I run into one that looks like this one, I wouldn't be so frightened." Others I just know I'd freeze in place and no doubt mutter unintelligible sounds. I can't wait to watch the upcoming show. I KNOW it's going to be legendary!
I really like the intro voice! :-) Great job Eli & STM!

I've hiked San Gorgonio twice, plenty of terrain for them to live and hide in.
My encounter was up in Hanna Flats back in 1998/99. I didn't see it but it came up my camp. We found a track the next morning, I am moving up to big bear next week and plan to explore. If you need some company when you come back I would love to join. I got a 4X4 truck with high clearance.

At 42:30 I noticed you guys filmed at Arrowbear lake but didn’t mention it in the video haha I know it’s a pond not a lake but still haha I’m from Arrowbear still live here and let me tell ya Bigfoot definitely lives here
Just drove through the village of Twin Peaks. Even if a Squatch was standing a hundred feet from the road, no one would see it.

Went to look for moose sign and check it out Did a few cow moose calls near a pond near the power line .saw no one that evening. Parked right under the power line Full size dodge truck with quad on trailer . 3 am woke up in fear and couldn’t scream as truck was shaking violently. Managed to say in my head Get your gun ... and as I brought it up it all stopped. It was pitch dark. It would take 6 men to shake my truck that way . I am ex military, US paratrooper,8 years . I left as soon as I got calmed down. Put it away for a long time before I dealt with it. But scared me enough I never went solo again, Just this year I am planning to go but this time in an RV with my dog . And won’t be that area although there’s reports all over the province. Stay at campground. We don’t need proof they exist, we need to expose why the government keeps it a secret besides the usual reasons like money.
I work in Corona, about 5 miles from the dam @17:45. The idea of a Bigfoot around here seems impossible. But 48 years ago, the city was not built up like it is today. There was a sighting on August 15 1975, of a 10 foot grey Squatch near the bottom of Skyline Drive Trailhead, where it starts going up the mountain. Maybe that trail was there back then giving that Bigfoot easy access to that area. And there is a small reservoir right there that may have held water back then. The weather that day was over 80 degrees, so water may be the reason it came down the mountain. The next sighting was 3 days later, same creature, and about a mile away at what is now a decent sized park, surrounded by housing tracks. I drive by it all the time and never thought a Bigfoot would have been there. Yet the mountain range IS only a mile away, and that range does run south, basically all the way to San Diego. Plenty of room for the Bigfoot to roam.

Someone said they spotted one by Silverwood lake years ago!

They have been in this country forever you could say. But people move in to all the valleys and around their water sources and shove them as well as so much of the wildlife up into the mountains and other wild areas. I am seeing it happen in real life here in n Idaho. People are moving here on droves. And too many are selling their land to be built on. So in the hills above the one I live on people are building houses and displacing the wildlife that has always been there. It's disgusting!
They are all around us in the IE. Barton Flats to Big Bear and the Santa Ana.

Yeah inland empire in the house 💪
The Santa Ana River does not run through Buena Park it runs through Anaheim. The water route was Coyote Creek and the sighting turned out to be a homeless person according to the Santa Ana Register reporter.(?)

@@tomatoisred6966 I live in N. San Bernardino, right up against the mountains and there are tons of wildlife in this environment that could support an apex predator such as the mountain lions and bear we have, and possibly Sasquatch. Deer, antelope, coyotes, racoons, fox, skunk, possum, many types of rodents, Bald Eagles, many species of hawks, falcons owls and of course innumerable birds and reptiles. There are plenty of year-round water sources and many edible plants, berries, roots, acorns etc. The biggest threat is development, but most of this in National Forest land so it's protected.
Small Town Monsters ~ yeah, People always say that mainstream science will not except Sasquatch as a genuine new species until they have a body laid out on a table. i disagree with this idea because I’m absolutely convinced that the military industrial complex already know and have retrieved bodies in the past. So it’s just much easier to keep Sasquatch as a myth because of all the complications that would come along with having to give them Rights & Living space. Also they don’t want to panic the general public because not all Sasquatch are peaceful & some are very dangerous, Just Like Human Beings. Thanks for uploading Another Great Documentary on this amazing phenomena called Bigfoot. I’m Hooked on the Subject. Many Thanks God Bless JiMBO
In between Onyx Summit and San Gorgonio off of the 38 theres a road that goes back to a lake that is fed by a cold natural spring. We would go back there to catch small native and stocked brook trout at different times of the year... But I wouldn't recommend going back there after dark...And never if you are alone.. Especially between June and September during times of drought...

Nervousness and fear that I cannot explain and have not experienced while camping or fishing anywhere else... I saw no thing and no evidence of anyone or anything that could do those things. The only place where you can see tracks of animals there is along the muddy shoreline of the lake. And that was all bear, deer, coyote, the occasional mountain lion or domestic dog.

Where does that waterway go, the one the Sasquatch ducked into? Fascinating how close they do come to civilization. They must think we are very odd and violent, which we can be. While they sleep under the stars, we have our beds and amenities, lol. I hope none of them is ever caught by men. Although, I do remember hearing about the female that was caught. I think the story claimed that after a long time of confinement in a cage, she lived among people. I don't think she was treated very well.
I am strongly of the opinion that there are in fact many different creatures that have all been lumped into being called bigfoot .i think there is like maybe 4-6 different animals that inhabit the north American continent.we need to establish where the boundaries on each of these creatures fall and then we can start catalogue each of these different creatures

I beg to differ with you. Bears do walk down the streets in Big Bear. Deer are seen frequently in town and in the housing areas. I lived in Big Bear from 2005 to 2015. We had bears walk through our neighbourhood most summer nights and even mountain lions slept underneath a friend's trampoline to get cool one hot summer day. There are many folks that claim to see evidence of Bigfoot in the mountain areas. Like stacking rocks ("no human would stack rocks"), bending trees, making nests. Well, deer make nests, my granddaughters stacked rocks and after a good snowfall, trees bend all the time. We also has UFO sightings, 411 missing persons ( look up Boy Scout who was never found and a small child who went missing between his parents' car and their tent). I believe that if you want to see a Bigfoot in Big Bear, you will. That doesn't mean there are any there.
