Using hi-tech kit and DNA sampling, Mireya and the gang head to the North California's Lost Coast – a rumored "breeding ground" – to locate a nesting site and track what they believe to be a family of Bigfoots. No spoilers, but going by the film crew's Reddit posts, there's a few hairy surprises coming your way...
Bigfoot – aka Sasquatch, Yeti, WoodApe, Treeman – has existed in folklore for centuries. DNA hair samples remain inconclusive, as does the veracity of the famous Patterson/Gimlin footage, shot at Bluff Creek in 1967. But if it is just a man in a suit, why do the thigh muscles ripple like a real ape's?
