Squatchwatchers Return to South Mountain After Startling Bigfoot Encounter

There's a video making the rounds over on the Squatch Watchers YouTube channel that has the Sasquatch community buzzing, and for good reason. These folks were out on an investigation near Hickory, North Carolina, close to South Mountain State Park, when something happened that forced them to cut their live stream short. And when they came back to update their viewers, they were clearly still processing what they had just experienced.
The team, including David and Taylor, were out doing what they do best—communicating through tree knocks and searching for signs of activity. They found fresh tracks that weren't shoe prints, which is always exciting, but that's not what stopped the show. Something was thrown at them from open sky above, and whatever it was, it wasn't a bug. It fell. The team is convinced something had to have been thrown or dropped on them from above, which is enough to get anyone's heart racing, especially when you're already on high alert in the woods at night.
Then things got even stranger. The crew mentions capturing something on camera—something they say "no one will guess" if they manage to upload it. They reference the Headless Horseman from Sleepy Hollow, joking that maybe Sleepy Hollow isn't just a story after all. They also drop a pretty heavy hint that what they witnessed could have been "the biggest crime scene in North Carolina history," though they're being careful about what they can actually share given YouTube's regulations.
Throughout the video, the team also touches on some lighter moments. David had recently undergone a heart procedure, and the community was checking in on him. Taylor and his wife Paige are expecting another baby, this time a little boy. There's a fun moment with a frog that hops right between David's legs, and the crew talks about their love of classic horror films like Pumpkinhead and Frankenstein. They even give a shoutout to a viewer watching from Scotland.
The Squatch Watchers are known for their tree knocking communication method, and they demonstrate it in the video using a baseball bat. They joke about giving away the bat to channel members and handing out "pieces of bark" to non-members. There's also a mention of David's daughter Riley starting her own YouTube channel called Simply Riley, which is worth checking out if you're a fan of the family.
What makes this video stand out is the genuine shock and emotion from the team. They came back on camera specifically to let everyone know they were okay and to share that something truly unusual had occurred. The fact that they had to pull the camera down mid-live and are still unsure if they can upload the footage only adds to the mystery. They mention there were apparently four of whatever they spotted watching them.
For anyone interested in Sasquatch investigations in the North Carolina mountains, this one is definitely worth the watch. The energy from the team is real, the location is prime Sasquatch territory, and whatever they captured on camera has them spooked in a way that feels authentic. Head over to the Squatch Watchers channel and check it out for yourself—just be prepared, because they make it clear this wasn't an ordinary night in the woods.
