I don't exactly know how to present this video within the right context.
I think I have to give a personal context or this probably won't have a proper conversation foothold.
I'm a long time believer in the David Paulides MISSING 411 information and if folks like we can start a thread there but as for myself this will be going over old information so I will reference it a little here but mostly gloss over it.
The MISSING 411 Books list disappearances that fit a certain criteria.
David Pauides has wriiten two of the absolute best books ever written on Sasquatch before he did the Missing 411 books and he made NO MONEY on them. As a very smart person once said, (George Knapp) "There is no money to be made in Sasquatch".
So Paulides left the Sasquatch genre and instead focused on these strange disappearances, the criteria is one he fleshed out while working on the Sasquatch books.
Here is a quote from Val Valarian's Matrix II book that helps to put this video in context.
Due to some PDF thing, I can't cut and paste it, so, I'm typing it. Forgive any errors.

IN April of 1974, psychic Joyce Partise of southern California held a sealed envelope in her hands. Unknown to her, that envelope held a photograph of a Sasquatch footprint taken in a heavily wooded area in the northern part of the state.
Her initial remarks:
"This envelope is like a death certificate! I foresee an impending disaster, yes, now I see what it is. These things are coming from outer space - it's an outer space war! The first area will be Portland, Oregon. There's a mountain with a hole in it. Somebody should investigate this mountain because they're down there already. You know hairy things that run around, the ape man? He's not an ape. they're underground, in contact with outer space and their intentions toward mankind is total destruction".
Excerpts from the rest of the reading
"This gorilla man - there's a civilization of thousands of them - he looks creepy but he's intelligent. Their eyes are extremely sensitive from being underground. It's though they're from another civilization long ago and have mutated because of radiation. This has altered their brains and now they're able to communicate with those in outer space. The sad thing is that these aliens are using them for their work, for laborers, but I can't tell what they're building. These aliens are desperate. Something is happening to their planet and they are preparing themselves for the time when they must leave. They must have a place to go, and right now they are analyzing our planet with the help of those hairy creatures and want to take it over.
Just for the record Scott Carpenter helped David Paulides in much of his work and is listed as a member of his North American Bigfoot Research Team.
Scott Carpenter isn't just a member of this team, he is reknowned as being the best person to go out and procure real bigfoot DNA samples for full genomes that have been completed. This guy has proven over and over again to be the best of the best in this field.
As such I believe him and his findings in this video.
Scott Carpenter is recording using a video camera that is slung over his back and filming what ever pops up their head as he is walking down the trails in the Great Smoky Mountains.
He is basically using himself as bait.
