Summary: Eric Mintel Investigates heads to Jim Thorpe in Carbon County, Pennsylvania to explore Bigfoot reports in the Pocono Mountains. The team meets with eyewitness Will Jurgger, who recounts a remarkable encounter while biking along the D&L trail near Pen Haven Junction. Will describes seeing a tall, bipedal creature estimated at 6.5 to 7 feet tall standing in the brush about 100 feet away across a creek. After hearing an unusual vocalization, he snapped photos on his phone as he pedaled away, later confirming the figure was standing on two legs in a remote area with no reason for people to be present. The investigation continues with Bigfoot researchers Matt Arer, a police officer, and Leser, who bring night vision equipment and additional evidence to examine. The episode highlights the surprisingly high number of Bigfoot sightings reported in Pennsylvania and features firsthand testimony from a credible witness with photographic documentation of his encounter.
