Rob Lowe says he had an encounter with Bigfoot

The trailer for Rob Lowe's new reality TV series, The Lowe Files, finally dropped, and it's exactly the quality you can expect from an A&E docuseries about searching for paranormal activity.

Lowe is joined by sons Matthew and John Owen, and the three explore the country in search of things that go bump in the night, such as a haunted reformatory, an underwater alien base off the coast of Malibu, and of course, Bigfoot.

In an interview with EW, Lowe claims he had encounter with a bigfoot in the Ozark Mountains.

"We had an incredible encounter with what locals call the wood ape, which is in the Ozark Mountains. I’m fully aware that I sound like a crazy, Hollywood kook right now."

Lowe also claims that the filming of the show turned him into a believer of ghosts, and says the show is totally real and not staged at all.

"Nothing is staged, nothing is trick-cut — no B.S. I believe there are probably ghosts out there."

When asked if he was genuinely terrified, Lowe responded, "Genuinely terrified? I was lying on the ground thinking I was going to be killed."

But don't worry, Lowe had protection.

We’re 100 miles from the nearest town. We spent 45 minutes on the most rugged, brutal mountain trails. It’s 1 in the morning. There are a lot of serious former military men with loaded weapons, then something starts approaching our camps that is defying their orders to stop and their warnings that [they were] armed.

We sure hope that 45 minute hike was worth it.

At the end of the interview, Lowe pedals back the show saying, "I don’t want to oversell as a results-oriented show, although we have incredible results."

So don't expect to actually see Bigfoot, just like every single other show in search of Bigfoot.

The series drops on the high quality channel A&E on August 2, but the Bigfoot episode airs as the season's finale.
