Rusty starts a blog called BLOGSQUATCH, which documents his journey from an amateur Bigfoot enthusiast to the role of a habituator, once he returns to the house where he grew up in Michigan and discovers that Sasquatch do, indeed, inhabit these woods. On October 7, 2010, two Maple Ridge police officers responded to a 911 call from this house. Rusty claimed that "they" were attacking the house and were attempting to gain entrance. When the officers arrived at the scene, the house was nearly destroyed and there was no trace of Rusty.
