Ha, damn it, I should not have watched this so late. Because I'm sufficiently creeped out now and can't sleep.
There's an ex-cop who talks about a brief encounter he claims he had with a Sasquatch, and all these years later he can barely get the words out to tell the story. Dude is stuttering and the hair on his arm is standing up then he basically starts crying and it's just so freaky and affecting.
That said, the first episode does a good job of not treating this like something on the History Chanel. There's a certain take-this-with-a-grain-of-salt vibe, and the main guy is a prominent journalist who's well aware of how crazy it all sounds. It's also just as much of an amateur murder investigation as it is an examination of the Sasquatch legend, which helps even it all out too.
Can't wait 'til more of you dive in.
Now, back to trying to get some sleep...
