In a recent video from the YouTube channel Sasquatch Experience, host Sean Forker and his guests pay tribute to the late Peter Byrne, one of the four "Horsemen" of Bigfoot research. Byrne, who passed away at the age of 98, was a pioneer in the field and left a lasting legacy.
The group also welcomes special guest Doug Hajiecks, an award-winning film producer, documentarian, and podcast host. Hajiecks is known for his work on the show "Monster Quest" and his website Untold FM.
During the episode, Hajiecks discusses his recent adventures in cryptozoology, including a 30-day solo camping trip in the forest. He and his team set up a large camp with all the amenities, including a 300 square foot office for their electronics and computers.
Hajiecks and his team are using a variety of cameras to capture footage of the forest, some of which are hidden in disguises such as boxes of oatmeal or six-packs of beer. The goal is to observe the camp and the surrounding area without disturbing the natural environment.
One of the most intriguing aspects of Hajiecks' expedition is his use of cameras with no infrared (IR) lights. Many researchers believe that Bigfoot avoids camera traps because they are triggered by IR light. However, Hajiecks is not convinced and is testing the theory by using cameras with no IR lights at all.
Hajiecks also discusses a recent incident where he heard a noise and saw a camera move. He quickly realized that he had forgotten to turn on the record button, but later review of other cameras showed that a battery had simply tipped over inside a box of oatmeal.
Overall, the video from Sasquatch Experience offers a fascinating look into the world of Bigfoot research and the ongoing quest to gather evidence of this elusive creature. Be sure to check out the full video on YouTube and visit Untold FM for more from Doug Hajiecks.
