I like the show for the following reasons
When i was around 5, my father used to go out and chop down trees on a work mates property. (this was in near Kilcoy in Queensland, Australia, the place actually has a history of the aussie bigfoot also called a Yowie)
So while my old man would cut down the tree or trees, my brother and i would just ride around the paddock on a three wheeled motor bike. We never really went far away from dad but one time (which is also the last time we ever went) we were about maybe 500 meters away. My brother stops the trike and starts staring into the bush. He asks me 'Do you see that?"
I didnt see anything but my brother freaks out and we ride back to my old man. My brother tells my dad he saw a brown gorilla in the bush, while he is explaining this we all hear this loud thumping noise in the brush. My dad decides we need to leave and as he starts to push the trike onto the trailer he looks back towards the bush and stops dead. He let go of the trike and it rolled down the ramp. Then he picked up the chain saw, started it up and stood there revving it .
Then he told my brother in the coldest voice i have ever heard him use, to drive the trike up, get in the car, start the engine then crouch down in the foot rest area of the passenger side with me.
We did this and then once in my dad got in, with the chainsaw still idling on the front seat and proceeded to drive out of there at a pretty decent speed.
I dont remember seeing anything other than what looked like a large shadow/brown mass through the lantana bush but my brother still to this days swears it was a yowie/bigfoot.
My dad never actually spoke of what he saw but we never went and cut wood again.
Many years later i was visiting a mate who was in the Australian army as a helicopter mechanic. He was based out near Toowoomba, we were at the pub and ran into one of the Blackhawk pilots who over the course of the afternoon told a weird story.
Apparently he and i believe another chopper dropped off a bunch of SAS boys in the middle of no where, they were going on a two week exercise. Then one week after that they dropped off either regular army or maybe commandos (not sure which but i remember the SAS went out first)
Another week after that they went out to get the regular guys and on the flight back they were talking about weird noises and howls, people walking around their camps and throwing rocks. The pilot then said they were saying it was most likely the SAS guys fucking with them.
The next day when they went to go pick up the special forces they asked them if they were fucking around with the regular guys, they said the training they were to do was to survive with minimal resources and them shadow the 'enemy' without giving themselves away.
Turns out that they also experienced the same things as the regular army and when the pilot suggested maybe it was ANOTHER unit fucking with them but they said no and went on to say that there is definitely something out there and army is well aware of it.
Just felt like sharing that.
