This is the Bigfoot episode of A&E's Ancient Mysteries series. I have this recorded on VHS and will end up comparing content between the vhs and the dvd in the future. None-the-less, this Leonard Nimoy narrated episode is done quite well if not brief. It's less than 50 minutes long and there are no extras. The show itself is one of the better ones on the subject matter of bigfoot. Main sources for this documentary are from the late Grover Krantz and Peter Byrne with his former Bigfoot Research Project out of Mt Hood, OR. It includes the Scott Herriett/Daryl Owen video footage of a purported bigfoot in the bushes; I however have never "seen" what the hell it is they say is a bigfoot in their video (even with the computer enhancement version, I just don't see it) and I've never seen much further coverage of it anywhere but this show. This episode originally aired in 1994 and lightly revamped in 1997, I recommend this for your bigfoot collection.

I had the vhs version of this documentary several years ago, and when I saw it was coming out on DVD I hoped it was the same one.
It was, and yet it wasn't. The one I had did not have Leonard Nimoy as the narrator. I forget who he was, but his voice was more suited to the material than Nimoy's. I also noticed that some material has been added, as well as cut from the original.
It may well be that the vhs version was the revised one, and that the one with Leonard Nimoy was the original, I don't know.
But anyway, this is a very good Bigfoot film and well worth your time and money.If you get hold of the vhs version, you'll see what I mean about the differences.

I bought this dvd because I wanted to start exploring the possibility of hidden creatures.BOY,was I surprised to view this documentary!Both views were presented,the believer and sceptics.It is wonderfully done with respect to both sides of the subject at hand.While the visual sightings of bigfoot were somewhat questionable,they did present a plausible explanation to them and what the eyewitnesses saw.Everything is covered,from the first sightings of the creature in the eighteen hundreds to the most current ones.the films of sasquatch are examined quite well and modern technology is used to give the footage depth and credibility.I am just beginning my research for all things un-explained,and the possibility of life from outer space.If there was one down side to this dvd,it would have to be that it was too short,but that is it!I feel like fox mulder....I want to believe.After viewing this dvd,I would have to say that I hold out hope that we will find that tall,hairy beast that has captured our imagination for so long.One thing is certain,all these sightings point to the fact that while no one has captured bigfoot,something is out there.Even if some or if not most of the general population does not understand it yet,much less believe in it,something is out there that reigns over the Pacific Northwest.As for me all I can say is....I want to believe.

I love this DVD. This is the best dvd out there on Bigfoot. Watching it makes me want to know more. I found what Dr. Grover Krantz said about the famous Patterson film very interesting.If you love Bigfoot and learning about him this is the DVD to buy!

An older movie about bigfoot but still nonetheless informative. One of my favorites.

This is a fun DVD to watch. There isn't a lot of new information in the piece, but the fundamentals of this mystery/legend are well represented. Decades after it was shot, I am still floored by the Patterson/Gimlin footage.

This is a good film and makes you think about what's out there .

This DVD is worth watching. Approximately fifty minutes long, but sticks to the bigfoot story(s). For those who have not encountered the creature and need more information about the creature, this DVD will do it. I enjoyed it watching it. If you feel you should watch it, don't hesitate. Worth buying the DVD.

From the A&E Ancient Mysteries Series comes this little gem of "Bigfoot." The narration is what sold me. Leonard Nimoy is the best, in my opinion, at this sort of story telling.
Whether you agree with the facts or just enjoy a good mystery , this DVD delivers, albeit, for only 50 minutes, and there are no extras. So, find it at the lowest price possible, and enjoy.
Now if they would only release the "In Search Of" series, that would be something. A terrific series about the Unexplained, Unknown, and Mysterious. Worth your time if you like stories with incomplete facts and/or endings. Also narrated by Leonard Nimoy.

This is a good documentary. Only drawback was that its too short. It contained no special features whatsoever. Grover Krantz & Peter Byrne were great as always. Wish this had been a longer documentary.
