Bigfoot Investigator Returns to Alaska Trail to Track Previous Sighting

So there's this video that just popped up on YouTube from the channel Tailing Sasquatch, and it's got me pretty intrigued. The investigator heads back to Alaska, this time into the muskeg of southeast Alaska's rainforest, to follow up on a recent sighting report. Without his Bigfoot dogs this trip (they're back with mom in the Idaho/Washington area), he's accompanied by Quinn, a fisheries student from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and Trey. The whole reason for the trip? A trail that's had activity reported on it. Someone saw a figure walking between trees, looked left at the last second, and the figure stopped behind a tree. When they walked up to investigate, about 50 yards away, there was nothing there. The witness described it as the "atypical Sasquatch from television" — you know, the poster child for the hairy man. There's also a cabin you can rent on recreation.gov about five miles up this trail, and somebody reported the walls being shaken by something very large. They went outside and couldn't see anything. Now, muskeg is that boggy, spongy terrain that's basically a sponge of decaying plant matter and water. It's tough walking, and platforms are sometimes put in to help people cross. Southeast Alaska gets hammered with rain, so this area is no stranger to mud and water. The investigator mentions it's still spring up there, with skunk cabbage popping up everywhere — which is actually a traditional sign of spring in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska. Bears supposedly love the stuff. Here's where it gets interesting. They come across skunk cabbage that's been eaten down to nothing, and the investigator says he's never seen it that bad before. Something was definitely feeding on it. Now, bears do eat skunk cabbage, but the timing and the amount had him questioning things. And then there are the whistles. Multiple times throughout the hike, whistles are heard that don't quite sound like birds. One of them is described as sounding almost fake, like it could be a mimic. Mimicry in the woods is something that comes up a lot in Sasquatch reports — the idea that these beings can imitate other sounds. They also find what looks like a bed site in an odd location, with grass laid over it, and a small trail leading through it. Animal trails are spotted throughout the area, with what appear to be prints or steps. And then there's this tree that looks like it was shoved into the ground upside down, almost like the famous trees in Ketchikan. The investigator notes they don't really get thunderstorms or lightning in southeast Alaska, so the odd growth pattern is a mystery. The vibe in the video is palpable. The investigator mentions feeling that "squatchy" feeling, getting that sensation on the back of his neck as they get deeper into the woods. It's getting darker, and the area opens up in places that would be perfect for something to travel along a human trail. If you're into following up on sighting reports and seeing what investigators find in the field, this one is worth checking out. The combination of the eaten skunk cabbage, the unexplained whistles, the possible bed site, and that odd tree makes for a pretty compelling watch. The full video is on YouTube if you want to see the whole hike and form your own opinions on what's going on out there.
