Ep 6. Alaska's Bigfoot Island

In the sixth episode of Finding Bigfoot's first season, the team travels to Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, in search of evidence of Bigfoot. Known as one of the largest islands in the United States, with an area of over 2,200 square miles, the team has high hopes of finding evidence of the elusive creature.

The team comprises four members: Matt Moneymaker, the founder of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), Cliff Barackman, a Bigfoot researcher who specializes in analyzing sound recordings, Ranae Holland, a skeptical scientist who seeks to find concrete evidence of the creature's existence, and James "Bobo" Fay, an experienced squatcher who has been researching Bigfoot for over twenty-five years.

The team begins their investigation by interviewing potential eyewitnesses, including local residents, hunters, and those who have reported sightings of Bigfoot. They also conduct audio and visual surveys of the islands' dense forests and waterways, using state-of-the-art technology to detect any signs of the creature's presence.

Throughout the episode, the team experiences several encounters that get their hearts racing. They interview a local hunter who, while on a hunt for deer, stumbled upon a Bigfoot and was so terrified, he never returned to the woods. Another witness shares a sighting from his boat where he saw a large creature swimming in the water with enormous strides and strength.

The team also follows up on a lead that a group of driftwood carvers have been collecting Bigfoot hair at the island's beaches for years and manage to collect 12 samples of hair scattered around the area. They then proceed to visit a local laboratory where the samples are tested, ultimately proving inconclusive.

Despite their determination, the team finds no concrete evidence of Bigfoot on Prince of Wales Island, leaving them with a mix of disappointment and hope. However, they vow to return and continue their search for the creature, convinced that their encounters and investigations provide a strong case for Bigfoot's existence.

Throughout the show, the team educates viewers on the different types of evidence they look for, including footprints, tree markings, and audio recordings of vocalizations. They also share various theories on the origin of the creature and its potential behavior.

Overall, viewers will find themselves enthralled by the team's intriguing and mysterious investigation as they explore the wilderness of Prince of Wales Island in search of Bigfoot. The team's unique mix of expertise, humor, and passion for the subject doing make this one of the most enjoyable episodes of the show's first season.
