Malone Family Tracks

Sometimes, but not often, a sighting or a reported footprint find comes your way within 12 hours of the incident or finding.  That was the case recently when I had stopped by “The Happy Prospector” store just outside of Harrison Hot Springs, BC on July 17, 2018.

Steve Turnbull, owner and well-known artist in the area, and I were discussing a possible sighting he and two others had a year ago (August 2017) at the north end of Elbow Lake ( Steenburg File # 10210).  As we were talking, a visiting American family from Washington State (Malone) had entered to look around. The father, Kevin, had heard part of our conversation and told us that earlier that very day while he, his wife (Janine) and their daughter (Jenna) were hiking on Bridle Loop Trail, which is located just on the eastern part of town at the bottom of Bear Mountain, and found what looked like footprints. They took a few cell phone photos, one of which is below:

A number of photos were taken by the family near one of the trail’s small wooden bridges. To me looking at his cell phone, I thought they were worth investigating. Kevin also said he would email me the pictures when they got back.  He also drew me a map of the approximate location along the trail where he thought the tracks were.

I set out to find them an hour later just going by his map and what I could remember seeing in the surrounding area in the photos.  Well, I came across a number of small trail bridges along the trail whose purpose I believe is to let hikers avoid deep muddy parts during wetter times.  Not a problem this day. I found a number of impressions at different locations and everything from human boots prints to bears tracks and horseshoe tracks as well. Finally, I found the right ones. Below is my photo of the same possible track as Kevin took:

My 9 inch trail guide book in place were Kevin’s foot had been. There were a number of impressions at this location, mostly right on the trail itself. Placed there at a time and date when the surface was wetter and therefor softer. I have doubts that these footprints are Sasquatch in origin, but it is possible.  None in my opinion showed clear toe impressions and one would think they would judging from the depth they were in the ground at the time they were made? I can see why the Malone family thought they could be Sasquatch prints and why they caught their interest in the first place. However, looking at them on the ground did not impress me as much as they did in the cell phone photos. Later that day when I got home and checked my mail Kevin, true to his word, had sent me his cell phone photos confirming that I did indeed find the ones the family found.

So, in my opinion it is possible that these could be footprints left by a Sasquatch? Possible but I doubt it.

Possible Sighting at Lake Errock

On April 24th, 2018 at approx 08:30 am, our witness in this case was driving to Chilliwack when he saw something in the tree-line moving; which walked out onto a house site.  At first he thought it was a large man doing yard work but after thinking the situation over and over again in his mind he realized he was looking at something different? The full interview with the witness follows. He, as well as the owners of the property, has asked for anonymity. So their names are being withheld from the written report.

Thomas Steenburg

B.C. File # 10209
LOCATION: Highway #7 (Lougheed Hwy) between Beaudry Rd, and Harrison Rd. British Columbia.
DATE: April 24, 2018.
TIME: 8:30 am.
REPORT BY: Thomas Steenburg

The witness in this case had made a post on the ‘West Coast Sasquatch’ web page.  Brad Trent replied to him asking him to contact myself.  Brad informed me of the post and I to asked him to contact me, which he Did.  On May 5th, 2018 myself with colleagues Brad Trent and Bill Reid, we met the man at the nearby Harrison Mills golf course restaurant and had a proper interview.  His original post to the website reads:

“I had a sighting on April 24 2018 at 8:00 am near Lake Errock.  I was driving East on Lougheed Highway between Beaudry road and Harrison Bay road. On the left-hand side I saw movement and saw the Sasquatch walking from the forest across someone’s side yard to get behind a fence attached to the side of the house.  The Sasquatch was huge, walking hunched and with bent knees and was dark brown from head to foot.  The weather was clear sky and bright sunshine.  I went back at 5:30 pm and took pictures of the area. I have family who live in this area so I drive this section of the Highway frequently.”

The interview I had with him now follows.

First of all would you state your full name please?
Answer with held from transcript.

Do wish to remain anonymous?
For now yes.

What is your present mailing address?
Answer with held from transcript.

The reason you were out in this area at the time of incident?
My Father bought a house out here a year and a half ago, and I come out here as often as I can.

What is your phone number?
Answer withheld from transcript.

What is your occupation?
I am an accountant, working for a finance department. In a office tower in downtown Vancouver.

Do you wear corrective lenses?
Yes.

Do you ware them at all times?
Yes. I just got brand new glasses, for driving.  Specific for focusing at distances.

How old are you?
I was born in 65, so I am 53.
Where did this incident occur?
On Lougheed highway, between Beaudry road, and Harrison bay road.

What date did this take place?
April 24. (2018)

Was it at night or day?
It was early in the morning.

What time?
8 am.

In your own words tell me what happened?
I left the house at 8 o’clock, (Fathers house), I was driving with the convertible top down, and I was driving up the road, (east bound), I noticed someone or something walking out of the trees. I could see the silo wet of the head, the shoulders, and part of the back, and as I was driving I kept staring at it. I passed the tree line, theirs a row of trees that is strait. Right at the edge of the property. Where it came out. I had the perfect view of the profile of it. It was hunched over. It was walking with bent knees. One of the legs was at a 45 degree angle. I kept driving.

You didn’t stop?
I didn’t stop.

It was actually in someones yard?
It had come out of the tree line, The little forest there, it actually isn’t a forest, it is actually someones property with trees that are 50 to 60 years old. As it step ed out of that area into the clear area, between the trees and a persons house. I don’t know who lives there?

Did you see where it was going?
It was heading toward the back yard.

It was heading toward the back yard?
Yes. It didn’t look at me, it kept looking forward.

Just describe the area where it was for me again?
That area there’s, a couple of houses at that first intersection at Beaudry road. Then there’s a bunch of trees that looks like it’s a vacant lot, Its virgin forest which backs on to more forest, then there’s a house right beside that. Then beyond that there’s a trailer and a Honda civic sitting there.

It’s a single house property right on the highway?
All by it’s self. Right beside a tract of forest.

Why were you in the area at the time?
My Neise was visiting her grandfather at Chilliwack. I was driving toward Agazzi heading for Chilliwack.

What distance would you estimate you were from the subject when you saw it?
Maybe 30 to 35 meters?

What color was it?
It was dark brown from head to toe. I didn’t see any skin tone. Just one color from head to toe.

What was your first impression?
I thought, ‘somebody doing yard work’? Then I saw it in profile and I thought, ‘Gee, that guy is wearing baggy closes.”  Then as I am going up the highway a bit I thought, ‘that wasn’t a person? What the hell did I just see?’  There was no clothes, there was no white hands, I couldn’t see white on the face? It was too big, and really didn’t walk like a human. Then I am thinking, ‘My god I just saw a Sasquatch!’  And the thing is, you don’t realize ’til, there is no reference card in your brain to identify a Sasquatch immediately.  So you just have to put the pieces together. Then you figure out what it was.

How did you react when you saw it?
Disbelief. I didn’t want it to be real. The rest of the way to pick up my niece, I’m thinking, Sasquatch, Sasquatch. Sasquatch, Sasquatch. No, I am not going to tell her, ’cause she is going to be staying at my father’s house, and I don’t want her to be scared.

What was it doing?
It was just walking.

It was walking the whole time?
Yes. It was moving as it came out of the tree line.

Was it hairy?
Yes. It was dark brown. It must have been hairy.

Did it stand and walk upright?
Yes it was upright.

Did you ever see it go down on all fours?
No I did not.

How tall would you estimate the subject to have been?
I think it was probably between 8 and 9 feet.

When it went by the house how tall was it compared to the side of the house?
Well I didn’t see it go behind the house. I saw it between the trees and that fence. It was at least as high as that fence. It was hunched over.

Which would be how tall?
The fence? I don’t know?

Taller than a man, shorter than a man?
Taller.

STEENBURG NOTE: Onsite investigation on the property revealed that it really was not a fence at all but a barrier behind the house which had been moved by the owners of the property after April 24.  It was about 6 feet tall which the witness thinks was a little shorter than the subject which was walking hunched over.

How much do you think it weighed?
I really don’t know. 300 pounds?

Heavier than a man?
I would say. Yes.

How long do you think you saw it for?
3 seconds?

Did it see you?
No. It must have heard me? I had the top down and the stereo blasting.

Oh you are one of those kind of drivers, eh?
LOL. (Nods head and shrugs shoulders)

Where you the only car on the highway at this point?
Yes. I was the only car on the highway. And then. So I am driving. I was wondering what it was? When you are driving through to Agazzi through this area, you go up this little mountain range, and there is this little pull out there? I tested were my location was? My GPS. It told me than it was 8:19 in the morning.

Did you notice any facial features?
No.

Could you tell if it was male or female?
From the profile, there was no breasts, so it must have been male?

Do you know that or are you guessing?
I couldn’t tell the sex of it.

Could you describe the arms?
This is the strangest part. I didn’t see the arms. It was kind of like, either I saw it when they were flush with the body. Or it was hiding it’s arms for some reason?

Did you smell anything before, during or after?
No. I didn’t smell anything.

Are there any other physical characteristics of the subject that stand out in your mind?
Yes. When I saw it from the back, it was if the Sasquatch was in a clock, the middle of it? I saw from 5 o’clock. The profile of the back the head was kind of. There was no neck. Just a rounded shape right onto the shoulders.

So you not only saw it in profile. You saw it from the back as well?
Yes.

So it was moving from the road towards the back of the house?
It was moving from the trees. It was moving from the tree-line, outside of the tree-line towards the back of the house.

In the time you saw it, you watched it walk from the tree-line.  I am going by the drawing you made?
That’s how I saw it – in profile. It was right on the edge of the trees when I saw its back.

I take it you did not go back to look for footprints?
No I didn’t. No.

Did you report what you saw?​
I told my brother that day. When I got back from the airport (Chilliwack Airport), my brother was there. I told him I saw it. We went for a drive by the location and I said that’s where it happened, showed him the tree-line. Straight trees, forest on the one side, house on the other, it was the only place on that part of the road with those features. So we went back to our house (Father’s house).

How did he react when you told him?
I think he knows now that they are around. I think he tried to deny it. I tried to talk about it for awhile, then I stopped talking about it because I didn’t want to freak him out. Then I thought about it. So I went back and took those pictures. I took pictures of the location. And for the next 3 nights I stayed at our house, I was house sitting as my father had gone to Calgary. And I was so scared. I had the lights on and the TV on all night long. All the blinds closed. I couldn’t sleep. So when I got back to my house in West Vancouver, I decided to make a report on it. I found your web site (West Coast Sasquatch), I wanted to keep it a local report. So that’s the one I chose.

You didn’t report it to the RCMP or anything?
No.

Describe you general outdoor experience for me?
I used to be a Boy Scout. I have camped around here. And in Sasquatch Park, I am never going to go back there. My father has 5 acres, all wooded, I have set up trail cams. Two of them on the property. I have caught images of Bears, Bob cat, Coyote’s and squirrrels. I have those on my youtube page.

So if you see a bear, you know what you are looking at? You see an elk, you know what you are looking at?
I caught an image of a bear walking. My sister was walking in the dark, having a coffee in the morning and the bear was following her out back.

I take it there were no other witnesses?
I was alone.

What do you think it was?
Well there’s only 3 things it could be. I was hallucinating, There was someone in a costume, Or it was a Sasquatch.

Has any of your friends or family members ever made a report like this before?
No.

Have you ever made a report at any time to anyone else?
No, I haven’t.

Do you think it was a Sasquatch you saw? Or do you think you were mistaken?
I don’t think I was mistaken. The profile from the back, and the profile from the side, it couldn’t have been a bear, there was no snout. There were no ears.

OK.  Once again tell me what happened? I know it’s irritating and repetitive?
I am driving by and I see something moving in trees. That area is actually not thick forest, it is an open field but with some high trees. I see this. Thing from the back, I see the head and the shoulders, the side and the back. I think for a moment ‘someones doing yard work’, early in the morning. I’m looking at it as I drive by, I see the profile, it’s walking into the clearing toward the back of a house. Gee, that person has baggy clothes? One color from head to toe? Its huge? It’s knees are bent? So then I keep driving, and then I finally released that, putting all of this together in my mind that I just saw a Sasquatch? So I just kept driving and telling myself I saw a Sasquatch. I couldn’t concentrate or anything, I stopped for lunch and I kept thinking, ‘What am I going to do. What am I going to do’. Oh my god, now I know the things are real’. I am just terrified to house sit my fathers house’.

Are you still bothered by what you saw?
Yes. Extremely.

What bothers you the most about it?
The fact that um. The forest at my Dads. The forest is literary my Dad’s back yard. Those things could be coming down and walking around the house?

Are you frightened by that?
Yes. Extremely. I couldn’t sleep in my Dads house. I had to turn the lights on.

STEENBURG NOTE: Witness at this point goes into detail concerning to nightmares he has had after the sighting. I will not reproduce them here as they are, in my opinion, very personal.

Do you feel any better now by talking about it?
I told a friend of mine. At work. She told me that the best way to deal with this is to think about it positively? She said, “You saw one, now try to help prove they are real”. She said, “Don’t shoot them.”So I am going to try and take her advice.

This concluded my interview with the witness. I asked my colleagues at this point if they had any questions for the witness. We all sat and talked with him for awhile. It was apparent to us that he indeed was bothered by what he saw and I hope that we were able to put him at ease a little bit.
After we stopped at the property in question and introduced ourselves to the owner and a gentleman whom runs a firewood business out of the property. Both of whom will also remain anonymous in this report.
The gentleman who ran the firewood business seemed to be intrigued by the possibility of a Sasquatch on the property and told to go ahead and look around. The owner seemed a little more skeptical at the suggestion but not dismissive. A search revealed that the grass had been cut since April 24th, and the barrier our witness took to be a fence had been moved. The owner was deep into removing the black Barrie bushes back a fare distance , so a lot of the back area behind the house was being cleared. Neither man had seen anything odd or seen any footprints. Our search revealed only a few boot prints and nothing else.
In my opinion the witness in this case is not trying to pull off a hoax. I conclude that he either mistook a man or he did indeed see a Sasquatch.

Bigfoot Okanagon interview

Here is a link for a recent interview (April 27, 2018) when I was visited by researcher Leon Thompson of Bigfoot Okanagon. We talked for a good while at Rocko’s Dinner in down town Mission, than later went to my place where he did an interview with my self. I told my honest opinion on all aspects of the Sasquatch question. I do want to mention one major screw up on my part. When I am asked about twisted trees I tell how this theory got started. But for some reason I state Bob Gimlin, when I meant to say Bob Titmus? I can’t beleave I didn’t catch myself on this BRAIN FART! I guess I am getting old. Both Bobs were and are friends of mine. The Late Bob Titmus having passed away in the mid 1990s. Bob Gimlin of P/G Film fame is still alive. Sorry about that Bob.

Brad Trent Recalls

March 18, 2018 Brad Trent and I spent a nice afternoon exploring up Norrish Creek FSR.  I have looked into a number of alleged sightings up this road over the years and Brad having one himself during a  pleasant summer afternoon in the year 1978.  I was trying out the new head strap for my  Air Pro camera, and while Brad was pointing out the spot of his 1978 sighting, I decided to record it.  Later, I did mark the location in case we wish to return to it again.  Did not like the result too much, as the peak of my cap is seen in the lower right corner so threw out – but  I can live with it.

Thomas Steenburg

Steenburg File #10206

This incident occurred on May 26, 2017 but did not come to my attention until late September.  I did go to the location with the witnesses a few days after doing a full interview.  He wished, for the time being, not to be named.  So, for that reason and to save space I will post his answer to one of my questions.

Could you just tell me what happened?

Yeah. Just like I wrote what happened, I got on my quad, I went up to the main Road, (Harrison West FSR) we were at Camp Cove. There was maybe 10 of us there.  I got on my quad, went up to the main road, hung a left, went over the small bridge there where the creek rises.  Immediately after that, there’s a little road that goes off to the left there.  There’s like these blocks there so you can’t drive down there but I could get around with my quad. This road parallels the main road for a bit, then goes down, crosses under the power lines, heads down for a bit, maybe another 300 yards or whatever, then there’s a tricky section.  I hit the gas a little too much on the bike and tipped it on it’s side. 

Took me a bit to right it, collect my stuff and everything, then I continued on for a little bit, maybe 100 feet or so to the lake, and I sat there for a bit, checked the scenery turned around and I came back up, just about to the top where the main road is, then I remembered I forgot my sunglasses, it was sunny right, it was bright, I don’t have my sunglasses so I turned around and I went back down again (to the lake).  They were where I thought they’d be.  You know where I took my helmet off and stuff, they were right there.  I put them back on and again came back up to where this road parallels the main road again, and coming around this corner, and I can see off to the right, I think it’s a spruce tree, one of the big trees off the side of the road.  I could see this black thing kind of.  To me it looked like the ass of a bear, or whatever sticking out from behind this tree. That’s what I thought it was; I thought black bear right? I mean, I didn’t stop or whatever, because it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, ’cause I’ve seen like a million bears and stuff, and as soon as it heard me, it took off.  Down the side hill there. I kept on coming and I stopped where I had seen it, just to see if I could see it and I could hear crashing down. It drops off pretty quick, and it goes down into a sort of gully.

I could hear the thing running, you know, like crash, bang, down the gully.  I couldn’t see it, ’cause like I said, it drops off.  From the time I stopped, to the time I saw my friend, who was coming up on the other side of the gully on the road that come and goes to Camp Cove, I heard Den coming up right (friend on other quad, on other road, which can be seen through the trees here).  I am yelling at him, but he couldn’t hear me,  he just oblivious. I could still hear the thing running through stuff down there, right, down the gully. I’m like, OK.  Whatever, probably just a bear or whatever, but as I looked right, holy shit, where it had to be standing, where I saw it, the tree, it’s like 4 feet down, it drops off pretty quick there, and I realized where it had to be standing was like 4 feet down below the road right?

STEENBURG NOTE: At this point the interview was interrupted by a knock at my door. After dealing with that we continued.

OK, so we were standing there, and looking around and stuff, like I said the base of the tree was about 4 feet below the base of the road.  If I hadn’t of seen that, I wouldn’t have thought twice about it, right.  Where it had to have been standing when I saw it, I just, I thought it was the ass end of a bear behind this tree, you know, about 4 feet tall, you know, just this kinda roundish, black thing, whatever.  But then, when I saw where it had to be standing, well, I then knew it had to be a lot bigger than I thought it was.  I could see where the ground was, it’s really hard-packed dirt, right.  It has been dry for a long time, I could see where the ground was scuffed; where it was standing.  OK, that thing was a lot bigger than I thought it was. Then I started thinking, OK, if it was a bear, if it was going up a tree, I would have seen the front arms around it right? I didn’t see anything like that!  I thought, hmm??

So I went back to camp, I kind of asked everybody, “Did you see anything strange”? No. No. Then I said, “Well, I saw something weird, right”.  Oh yeah, what?  Well, I think I saw something like, a Sasquatch, or something.  They just kinda laughed at that.  We spend a lot of time in the bush. This is what we do every weekend. I am a hunter.  We spend all the time that we can out in the bush right.

Photo taken by me from witness vantage point. Witness standing by tree where subject was seen.

This witness did impress me by his own logical thinking. Even though he now thinks it was a Sasquatch he saw, he does accept the possibility that he may be wrong.  Also, this man has spent a good part of his life in the bush, hunting, fishing , etc.  I have no doubt he has been in the woods more than myself.  At first, he also thought bear but after observing the fact that the base of this tree was 4 feet below the grade of this road, he feels that what he saw was about 8 feet tall, rather than the 4 to 5 feet he saw above the grade of the road.

Steenburg file # 10204

The following report was sent to me from a Mr. Sean Landers concerning possible footprints found by himself and his girlfriend on Saturday June 3rd, 2017 while they were hiking at Deer Lake in Sasquatch Provincial Park.

My girlfriend Adri and I went and stayed in Site 12 on June 2,3, and 4th. She is also enthusiastic about studying Sasquatch, so to be in Site 12 was really thrilling.  This is our second time exploring outside of the provincial park, and we went a lot farther this time. Last time, I fell in the creek on the way out, but that did not happen this time. 

I included the photographs of the footprints and the nest. The prints were found along the trail that is just north of Deer Lake.  As the trail leaves the provincial park, and nears the creek crossing, that is where we found the footprints. They are odd, as the toes are not completely where they should be… not sure. The toes are large and round, and have no claws at all though, which is a Sasquatch trait. As well, the sheer bulbous nature of each toe is substantial. Each toe print was about the size of a large cherry tomato, and very round. The depression in the mud from the print was also odd, in that it was very deep. When I stepped in the same mud while walking, it only made a superficial print, but these are clearly well sunk into the ground. I am 230 lbs, so whatever made these must have been more than me. 

We hiked up the FSR as indicated with a pencil line on the map I sent along with this email. Where the pencil line ends is where we stopped and surveyed with binoculars, then came back. On our first trip out here last year, after I fell in the creek, we only made it so far as the X marked on the map. This year was much better.

On the way back to our campsite we were looking for a route down through the woods from the trail, and decided to just wing it. From the trail above we could barely see our orange camping umbrella in the site, so we used that as a reference to descend through the thick forest off the elevated trail. It was steep, and dangerous, so we went slowly and about 150 meters north of the site (#12) I found this very unusually made structure. 

The pics don’t really show the scale or complexity very well. It was about seven or eight feet across, and the inside was very smoothed out, just like a hammock. It consists of several large tree sections lain across each other and tied into a bent over tree that comes out of the mountainside. A great mass of smaller sticks and vegetation have been added then, to make up solid walls and sides with and opening barely detectable at one end. The inside is cave-like, and rounded very smoothly with no sharp ends sticking in. It does not look like anything that forces of nature would accumulate. My Mum thinks it might be a spot where a bear might sleep, but I don’t think bears weave together and build elaborate structures. I hope you like the pics and look forward to your feedback. I would like to go back to the nest and look for prints and hair samples.

Thanks for the additional story about an encounter in that area. I will look into it. By the way, I carry a shotgun just for protection of me and my girlfriend. We would never kill a Sasquatch or anything else for that matter. I don’t even like stepping on plants. We both are very much worshipers of nature.

 

The location of this find was almost the same location where another couple (Richards) had a frightening encounter with a possible Sasquatch back in 2009.  Sean does agree that these prints could have another explanation other than a Sasquatch.  But in my opinion, the possibility is there.

A Special Lady

A very dear lady to me lost her battle with cancer on May 30th, 2017.

I first met Vera after herself and another dear friend of mine, Christina, came to my home to tell me of a strange creature Vera had encountered just outside her home on the afternoon of September 21st,  2011.  She had come outside to see why her next door neighbors’ dogs were barking so much when she caught sight of something strange just behind the tree line which separates her home with the railway tracks.  The details of this encounter I have already published (Steenburg File# 10173).

After the two had stared at each other for about 30 seconds, which seemed much longer to Vera, the subject simply walked away from her down the rail line towards, what was locally known as, Crazy Creek.  She never saw it again.  She then contacted Christina and told her about what she saw, and it was Christina whom told her to talk to me; which we did the following evening.

At first Vera didn’t want any word of her account getting out and, in fact, when I went to investigate at the sight, she told the locals that I was there to look into a Mountain Lion she had seen.   At the time she was a foster mom and was afraid that if word got out that she had seen a possible Sasquatch that might be used against her.

But over the years as we got to know each other she relaxed a bit over the whole affair and took part when I asked in radio and television documentaries on the the subject and had even come along with me on few day expositions.  One such Radio show was titled ”Footsteps’ and aired in 2015.   Some of the TV programs were: ‘BC is Awesome’ which aired in 2016; ‘Finding Bigfoot’ when they filmed up on the Chehalis Reserve in 2015; and ‘Red Earth Uncovered’ which was filmed in the fall of 2016 and is due to air in 2018.  It is a program of First Nation perspective, and Vera being of First Nation birth herself, I felt was a natural choice for their Sasquatch episode.

Vera tells of her encounter at my home Sept 22, 2011

I will miss her.

Red Earth Uncovered

On Monday, September 19, 2016, I was paid a visit by the host and film crew of the new documentary program, Red Earth Uncovered.  They filmed and asked questions on the subject of the Sasquatch for 4 hours.  We went into great detail.

They also talked to Sasquatch witness and researcher, Brad Trent, who came up to my place from across the river . Tomorrow, they plan to go into the field with Bill Miller up the east side of Harrison Lake for some more filming.   They will end their visit after talking to three witnesses from my files.

Film Crew from, 'Red Earth Uncovered'. Visits Thomas Steenburg at his home and study. Sept 19, 20116
Film Crew from, ‘Red Earth Uncovered’. Visits Thomas Steenburg at his home and study. Sept 19, 2016.

They also plan to interview the tribal elders on the Chehalis Reserve, where the name Sasquatch was first used and  introduced to the non-native community in British Columbia on April 1st, 1929.  This program looks at the world through the eyes of Canada’s First Nations. So it is only natural that they should devote an episode to the Sasquatch question.

This program will air sometime in 2018, I believe.
