Sasquatch of the South: Bigfoot Encounters in the Texas Hill Country
What if your first encounter with Bigfoot happened as a child—and followed you for the rest of your life?
This documentary follows David Cleaver, a lifelong investigator whose experiences with Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot, span decades across Texas, the Brazos River corridor, and the Texas Hill Country. Unlike sensationalized television shows, David’s story is rooted in firsthand encounters, physical evidence, historical research, and years spent deep off-trail in places few people ever go.
David’s journey begins with a terrifying childhood encounter behind his grandparents’ home in North Texas—an encounter so human and intelligent that it defied explanation. Years later, a second encounter at Camp Grady Spruce in 1969 involved multiple witnesses, physical contact, and a roar powerful enough to shake seasoned outdoorsmen. While the world watched the moon landing, David was left trying to understand something far closer to home.
As his search continued, David uncovered a pattern of Sasquatch activity along the Brazos River, one of Texas’ most important wildlife corridors. From missing livestock and unexplained animal remains to vocalizations, infrasound effects, and intelligent ambush behavior, the evidence suggested something far more complex than folklore. Historical accounts like the legendary “Brazos Man” and Hugo’s Monster echo the same locations David would later investigate firsthand.
