DVD Review: Operation In-Depth: High Altitude Bigfoot Research
This DVD, shot in the fall of 2008, takes us 4,000 feet up into the Olympic Mountains of Washington State, where the WSSSG (Washington State Sasquatch Search Group) attempts to anticipate what they believe to be possible migration patterns of the local Sasquatch population in the area. On the second day of the expedition, fresh footprints are found in snow in the area. They believe the creature appears to be following migrating elk. An 18" footprint is found, and appears to be the classic Sasquatch track, with the hourglass shape and visible toes. The tracks appear to cut down into a large creek bed. There is a heavy snowfall as filming is occurring as well. The tracks are followed by one of the researchers into thick timber. The team experiences wood-knocking and object-throwing, and also seems to be panicking the alleged creature into moving deeper into the timber and twisting and breaking off several trees. On the video, the alleged creature is heard to crash through the trees on an elk trail, and the team attempts to cut it off. Apparently, the creature was about to cross the trail in front of the videocamera, but anticipated it and just stops. Something apparently hits a tree just as the team appears to be closing in, causing errant snow to fall. Another track is found as the videographer tracks down the possible Sasquatch (or attempts to). Possible blood is also located (Sasquatch or elk?) As the team closes in, a possible creature is spotted and the wake of it is filmed. Something appears to be caught on camera, a movement of some sort. The possible creature is tracked for three hours and drops down over 1,000 feet in elevation into a valley. A second team finds tracks of a possible smaller Sasquatch. The pursuit of the Sasquatch by this group takes them into some beautiful areas, and the results are interesting, but ultimately inconclusive. Still, this effort is well-documented and they are to be commended. I give this DVD about a 4 1/2 out of 5 stars. Order it at This address
