Art Bell welcomes Bigfoot researcher Robert W. Morgan alongside a returning caller known as Bugs, a Vietnam veteran and former hunter from Texas who years earlier confided a shocking story. Bugs recounts how in the mid-1970s, while hunting bobcats and coyotes at night with two fellow veterans, they fired on an unknown creature with glowing red eyes in a wheat field near Elm Creek, believing it to be a bear.

The creature rose to over seven feet tall and fled on two legs. After tracking it into a plum thicket, Bugs encountered a second creature at close range and killed it in self-defense with a .44 Magnum. Both bodies displayed human-like sexual organs, brownish-red hair covering their frames, six toes on each foot, and faces resembling a cross between human and ape. Terrified they had killed something partly human, the three men buried the bodies together and swore secrecy.

Bugs reveals he has sent Art a detailed burial map, to be used after his death. Morgan confirms that every detail matches documented Bigfoot characteristics. Art wrestles with the ethical and legal implications of possessing the map, while Bugs expresses deep guilt over the killings that ended his hunting career forever.
