The local Natives started talking about a creature, a hairy Big Foot type Yeti monster and it was called the Nantiinaq or big hairy creature as it was called. At that same time, the villagers talked about seeing a spirit of a woman dressed in black clothes that would come out on the cliffs above town. They described her dress as being so long that she would have to drag it. She had a very white face and would scream and moan. The villagers would hear something and then she would disappear back into the cliff face
History writes “Seventy years ago, a murderous Bigfoot-like creature sent residents fleeing from Portlock, Alaska. Now, an expedition returns to the abandoned fishing village to reclaim the land and its resources from the terrifying beast locals call Nantinaq.”

i like these guys, just homies from the vill.

Well then! Are we going to hear more? That was like just a teaser. I would not go there! There has to be more living on that land still. Would any of you out there risk it?

I would NOT spend the night onshore, only overnighting in the boat, well offshore. Of course, that boat isn’t very large, so I don’t know how that would work out.

I watched the first episode of this show last night. Had high hopes, but was left seriously disappointed. From the start, the show seemed highly scripted, and once the group arrived at the site of Portlock, the first night’s cornucopia of cliched Bigfoot phenomena just seemed way too convenient. It was so over the top that all that was needed to put them firmly into Mountain Monsters territory would have been to build a trap. Fortunately, they didn’t do that, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s coming in Episode 2.
Hopefully I’m wrong and this series improves as it goes along. Mostly because there are no other major Bigfoot-related series out there right now, I’ll give it another shot, but I’m highly skeptical of this one.

I felt the same way, but I do feel like it’s improving as the episodes continue. It is definitely highly dramatized, but I do think there is some reality mixed in. Plus Ron Morehead was in Episode 4, so that added a bit of credibility to it in my book. Hopefully Season 3 of Expedition Bigfoot will be out soon. That’s the best and most realistic show on TV right now pertaining to Bigfoot.

Just watched the first episode. I enjoyed it. I’m looking forward to watching the next. Thank you for recommending it ????

I don’t personally care about the entertainment value of the show, just hope that if things actually start happening there that they’ll actually convey it to us. Cuz the actual story of Portlock is one of if not the most fascinating in bigfoot lore, and the hairy man stories from alaska are likewise terrifying and seem to be consistent with what happened there. Basically, like I’m sure everyone here is already aware of, it sounds like the bigfoots up there, just like bears and all large predators in those harsh environments become, are more carnivorous, independent, massive, aggressive, and dangerous. And people disappear annually from certain regions at a rate that makes just being there more deadly than actually catching covid was in it’s first wave without vaccination or any level of medical attention at all. If you’re what I can only refer to as ‘smart,’ then you understand that isn’t and never was anything to really worry too much about, but it is a pretty alarming rate (5 out of every 1000) for people to regularly be eaten by ‘mythological’ monsters in the woods and it doesn’t just happen once in one outbreak, it happens continuously every year. It also isn’t specific to people who were already closing in on death anyway, but applies to the entire population. Meaning young healthy people are as much a part of that statistic as old, sick or dying ones. Which effectively means that it’s less dangerous than covid for people who were already dying of cancer to go for a walk in the woods in certain regions of Alaska, but more dangerous than covid for young healthy people to try it. Kinda like getting the vax, even if the curve is different for that since the miniscule death rate from getting the jab clearly is no where near as dangerous as hiking alone late at night deep in the woods in Alaska (which could probably be compared to catching covid while in hospice), but definitely still more dangerous than swimming in a giant covid petri dish for a relatively young and healthy person or especially a child.
