1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:06,400 Hello and welcome to the program. 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,080 You have a warning in this episode we're talking about 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,240 Bigfoot bones. That's correct. 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,600 Bigfoot bones. You know, a lot of people when 5 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,760 we talk about Bigfoot say, well, why haven't we found any bones? 6 00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:21,640 Well, maybe we haven't found bones of Bigfoot, but maybe we 7 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,640 found some bones that were chewed on by Bigfoot. 8 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,560 Kind of an interesting thought. I found this article over at 9 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,759 chromeline.com talking about these Bigfoot bones or bones 10 00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:37,360 rather that were possibly not on by Bigfoot around the Saint 11 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,160 Helens area. The article says proof of 12 00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:43,680 Bigfoot is in the bones. Winlock Man says and that's got 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,560 a picture here, several pictures actually these these bone 14 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,080 fragments that look like they've been just had chunks spitting 15 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,160 out of almost like, you know, if you take a bite out of an apple 16 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,600 or something, It says in the picture, it says this photo 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,120 shows a bone with human like teeth imprints, including a 18 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,760 front incisor and lateral incisor. 19 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,080 The research compiled by Mitchell Townsend, it shows the 20 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,960 bite ratio is 2 1/2 times larger than that of a human. 21 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,520 So that would be an awful big bite. 22 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,880 I mean 2 1/2 times the size of a human and you just to bite 23 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,360 straight through his bone cleanly like I said, like it's 24 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,160 just like a bite of an apple or something. 25 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,920 This article is written by Justina Tomatis. 26 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,480 I think it says May 14th, 2015 is a mystery of Bigfoot's 27 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,000 existence finally solved. One Centralia College instructor 28 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,600 said he has discovered scientific evidence that proves 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,200 the creatures existence. He believes the information will 30 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,520 be one of the biggest scientific finds of the century. 31 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,920 Mitchell Townsend, a Winlock resident and teacher in the 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,800 college's continuing education program, said he was walking 33 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,440 through the woods near Rhine Lake in east Lewis County when 34 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,920 he came across a stack of bones. The find itself was unusual 35 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,440 since predators typically disperse remains rather quickly, 36 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,919 he said. Upon further inspection, he 37 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,240 noticed large human like teeth imprints in the bones. 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,560 I got to looking at the bones and they had been knawed on, but 39 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,240 what looked to me to be giant human teeth. 40 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,360 He said. After two of his students from 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,160 Lower Columbia College found two more stacks of bones on the 42 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,560 South side of Mount Saint Helens, he said it became clear 43 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,400 the kill sites were similar in a variety of ways. 44 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,320 The bone stacking technique is specific to a humanoid and was 45 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,960 cited as human behavior, he said. 46 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,000 Well, I I think they're missing the point here. 47 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,160 Human is not the same thing as humanoid. 48 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:52,280 Again, human like teeth imprints were notched into the bones. 49 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:56,480 Yeah, human like is not human. This sounds really weird to me. 50 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,440 No predator impressions or tool marks were found on the remains, 51 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040 and after consulting with the Department of Fish and Wildlife, 52 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,440 Townsend said all natural predators in the area were ruled 53 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,480 out. The two additional sites located 54 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,240 by his students shed more light on the creature responsible for 55 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,920 the activity. The trio found footprints with a 56 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,440 length of 16 inches. He claims height, weight and 57 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,560 proportion calculations paired with the length of the stride 58 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,440 between steps conferred. The creature had to be about 8 59 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,680 feet 8 inches tall. Although the footprints looked 60 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,320 human, they had a much wider and broader profile and did not have 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,720 an arch, so they look similar to humanity. 62 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,520 I wouldn't even say if they looked human. 63 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,480 There's no arch. If you add it all up, you have 64 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,800 an 8 foot 8 inch tall creature that is killing animals at 65 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,240 different areas of Mount Saint Helens with his bare hands, 66 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:57,240 chewing them up, literally, skin and bones and all, and spitting 67 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,480 them out between his legs. Townsend said. 68 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,240 The teeth Marks and the bone showed what Townsend said were 69 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:07,120 impressions of incisors and canines, but 90% of the teeth 70 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:09,960 were beyond the range of human possibility. 71 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,000 As for the mouth size, the bite ratio was calculated at 2 1/2 72 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440 times wider than that of a person. 73 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:21,040 The bones also showed dental signatures and different human 74 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,320 chewing strategies from ancient caveman, including bone peeling, 75 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,120 he said. The bottom line is only humans 76 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,920 do that because of the shape of our teeth and the shape of our 77 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,680 jaw, so we have to gnaw at the edge of the bone. 78 00:04:34,840 --> 00:04:38,960 A double arch structure also showed the teeth were closely 79 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,600 related to the Neanderthals and the molars left triangle 80 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:47,320 impressions as opposed to circular impressions an ape or 81 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,640 chimpanzee would leave, he said The evidence is what the 82 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,680 professor said was forensic dental evidence and behavioural 83 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,480 evidence showing the massive creature is part human. 84 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,080 Now, to me, they're making a little bit of a leap here. 85 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,560 His discovery aims to prove there is, in fact, a hominid 86 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,200 species living in the area of Mount Saint Helens that derive 87 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:14,440 from the breeding of Native Americans and giant ape. 88 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,600 Now, to me, you've taken a, you've taken a giant leap there 89 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,200 when you're saying, well, because the saying looks similar 90 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:28,800 to a human, it has bite marks that are similar to humans, only 91 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,280 2 1/2 times the size. Well, then this must be a 92 00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:35,840 situation where Native Americans interbred with some kind of a 93 00:05:35,840 --> 00:05:39,840 giant ape. You know, I, I don't even think 94 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,880 that the human and, and ape DNA is going to be able to mix like 95 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,200 that. My theory is it's not an ape. 96 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,080 It's a hybrid that has been interbreeding with Native 97 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,280 Americans for the last 80,000 years, Townsend said. 98 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,440 That's why it's so smart and it has human teeth. 99 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,040 Talents information will be published in a research paper 100 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,960 and he challenges the scientific community to discredit his 101 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,400 information. He said the four year project 102 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,040 helped solve the mystery because the focus was based on forensic 103 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,280 evidence. The information used was heavily 104 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:14,920 based on comparison proof from the top scientists in the world. 105 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,080 The evidence stands on its own. You proved the evidence wrong, 106 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,360 he said, adding that the bones would be made available for 107 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,840 examination to any scientist who wanted to examine their remains. 108 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,080 We put thousands of hours into this. 109 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,200 We just want to give this to the world and the scientific 110 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,800 community free of charge to add to the scientific body of 111 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,080 knowledge. That's interesting. 112 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,440 I have heard about this story before, but I never really 113 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,680 seemed to get much traction with this idea that we have these 114 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,600 bones that have been located that look like they've got these 115 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,560 bite marks. From what would be Bigfoot, very 116 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,360 similar to what we could imagine as a giant human. 117 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,800 Now I don't think that means that they're inbred with people 118 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,400 or anything like that. I just think that that they 119 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,200 resemble humans. They also resemble apes and 120 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,000 chimpanzees, but only on a much larger scale. 121 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,960 Now this whole area around Saint Helens, it does seem to have a 122 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,120 lot of history with Bigfoot. If we go on this next article, 123 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,040 take a look at this. I found this over at TWRP. s.com 124 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,840 at Columbian County Historian homepage talks about this 125 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,520 encounter that happened in 1924. Bigfoot 1924 Strange animal 126 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,720 scene. A story that rivals the most 127 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:36,000 spine tingling tales of fiction has set Kelso and Southwest 128 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,680 Washington as well as this section of Oregon agog with 129 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,320 curiosity and speculation as to its authenticity and truth. 130 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,840 It is a story of an encounter with strange hairy ape like 131 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:52,560 creatures at the base of Mount Saint Helens in the vicinity of 132 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,120 Muddy River, 8 miles from Spirit Lake. 133 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:58,880 The men who brought the story to Kelso are Marion Smith and his 134 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:03,040 son Ray Lexington and Fred Beck and Joe Peterson who have been 135 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,840 prospecting in the walls of Saint Helens country for the 136 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,240 past six years. Boy, some tough guys out there 137 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,280 prospecting for six years, I suppose, off and on as he told a 138 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:17,240 representative of the Castonian. The story by Marion Smith is 139 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,000 reproduced word for word, quote. We have been prospecting there 140 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,480 for six years. About 16 days ago, Becca myself 141 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,920 saw one of these animals peeking from behind a tree at a distance 142 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,360 of about 100 yards. We fired and I think I hit it in 143 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,440 the head. It fell back as though struck. 144 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,880 And curious to know the nature of the animal, we crossed an an 145 00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:45,760 intervening Canyon, but he had gone by the time we reached the 146 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,240 tree. We noticed large tracks from 13 147 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:53,160 to 14 inches long and resembling those of a man, and I warned my 148 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,760 son to carry a rifle wherever he went into the woods. 149 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,600 We had seen these tracks in former years and were determined 150 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,240 to investigate. We came in for the 4th, but said 151 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,120 nothing to any one of our experience. 152 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,760 Wednesday, while we were at the mine, Roy went to the spring for 153 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,760 water, carrying only a revolver. As he was returning he heard a 154 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,640 cracking in the altars, and turning, saw one of the animals 155 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,120 charging out of the woods at him, waving his arms over his 156 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:24,560 head and striking his chest. He farted it with a pistol, the 157 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,160 animal coming with his feet within feet of him, before it 158 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,920 turned back into the woods. He was badly frightened and 159 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,200 hurried back to camp. Thursday, Roy and Fred 160 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,160 encountered another of the animals as they were going to 161 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,240 the cabin. They fired at it and Peterson 162 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:42,720 ran out of the cabin with his revolver. 163 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,560 Between them. They fired 16 shots, the final 164 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,640 shot by Beck apparently striking the animal and toppling it over 165 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,240 the edge of the Canyon. This Canyon has steep sides and 166 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:55,480 we could only have gotten down by using ropes. 167 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,480 I heard the animal fall and tried to look down, but it was 168 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,640 so steep I couldn't see the bottom. 169 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,640 Wow. That night, about 11, we were 170 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,280 startled out of our sleep by rocks falling through the hole 171 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,560 in the roof of our cabin, which served as a smokestack. 172 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,800 The bombardment continued until after two in the morning, I 173 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,080 insisted on building a large fire to frighten away the 174 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,840 animals, which pushed against the door and made a great deal 175 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,920 of noise around the cabin, drumming on their chest. 176 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,240 It was a terrifying experience. We nailed the door shut and I 177 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,400 and I advised not to shoot so that we would have all our 178 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,600 ammunition in case they broke in in the morning. 179 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,520 We were glad to start home. Six years ago when we first 180 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:43,320 located our claim, we saw the strange 4 toed tracks with their 181 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:48,080 toes short and stubby and almost square across and have seen them 182 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,600 several times since. Two years ago the strange 183 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,360 animals sought to enter our tent and we found tracks around our 184 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,520 tent in the morning. All this weekend the woods 185 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,120 around the cabin were being combed with hunters for the 186 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,280 strange creatures, but so far no report has been heard from the 187 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,560 hunters. Various explanations for their 188 00:11:06,560 --> 00:11:10,040 presence have been advanced and many in Kelso have ventured to 189 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,160 say that the story is a product of imagination. 190 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,880 The miners insist, however, that they saw the creatures and their 191 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,000 stories are given some support from old timers who have heard 192 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,160 of the giant creatures that are said to inhabit the country 193 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,000 there. The story was given full 194 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,440 credence by a member of the Callum tribe at Oakland, 195 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,640 Washington this week with the appearance of a lengthy article 196 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,080 describing the little known Seatac Indians, which are said 197 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,280 to be a skeleton in the Northwest Indians closet. 198 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,560 Because the more advanced Indians of the Northwest have 199 00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:47,800 been ashamed of the Seatacs, they have kept the secret of the 200 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,400 existence of this half animal tribe. 201 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,160 Descriptions given of these strange Indians tally in every 202 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,720 respect with what the miners said about them. 203 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,360 Indians in the Washington country, however, are skeptical 204 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:05,320 about the success that awaits the hunters, as their habits are 205 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,160 so uncanny that it is a foregone conclusion that they will not be 206 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,240 seen. The story is being thoroughly 207 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:15,120 investigated by game officials and other authorities and Kelso 208 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,480 and the territory in which the creatures were seen. 209 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,080 Wow, that's really a crazy story, isn't it? 210 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,240 It says, and then it goes on down. 211 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,760 It says. Doctor DF Howard pioneer Stella 212 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,480 Washington was in Rainier Tuesday and Wednesday and paid 213 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,560 the review office a call telling of a tribe known as Acetics, 214 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,280 which are which are below the average Northwest Indian in many 215 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,200 respects and which have almost never been mentioned in this 216 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,520 article. It claimed that the Acetics 217 00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,200 stand fully 7 feet in height and have some and some have been 218 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,000 said to be 8 feet. Their bodies are covered with 219 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,560 hair giving the appearance of huge bears. 220 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,200 They said that these Indians take 12 lives for each of the 221 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,400 lives taken in their tribe, which might bear out the 222 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,120 statement that the animals returned and stone the camp and 223 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,360 stone the cabin after it was thought that one of them had 224 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,640 been killed by the miners. Well, I guess they they weren't 225 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,280 successful. This is kind of strange to me 226 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:18,600 how it, you know it in this article and the one before how 227 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,200 some people think these things were a hybrid creature that 228 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,960 developed out of interbreeding between Native Americans and 229 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,920 some kind of ape population. Or maybe they were just some 230 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,280 kind of a backward Native American tribe. 231 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,120 I don't really see that myself. I, I still believe these things 232 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,160 are mostly interdimensional, but maybe kind of phase in and out 233 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:43,920 of this dimension and they do eat because otherwise how do you 234 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,640 explain these things? Being able to take a bullet to 235 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,680 the head and, and, and not die or falling off a Cliff and not 236 00:13:49,680 --> 00:13:52,800 dying. It's, it's this really kind of 237 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,000 Gray area that they seem to occupy. 238 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,600 But that was the count from 1924. 239 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,120 And of course we had the count there talking about these bones 240 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,360 that have been knotted on. And then I look at this one last 241 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,840 article talking about these Bigfoot found in and around 242 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,680 Mount Saint Helens. This seems like such a strange 243 00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,560 place, even after the volcano happened. 244 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,720 This article is from sasquatchthelegend.com, dated 245 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,680 April 14th, 2023. Says what really happened on 246 00:14:18,680 --> 00:14:19,880 mountain St. Helens. 247 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,560 Of all the Sasquatch legends originating in the Pacific 248 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,560 Northwest, there's one in particular that has captured the 249 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,120 imagination of just about everyone who has heard it. 250 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,360 It's a tantalizing tale of exploding volcanoes, giant hairy 251 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:37,320 beings, shadowy government figures, mysterious helicopter 252 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,440 evacuations and more. Of course, there's all this idea 253 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:45,400 that when that volcano erupted, you know, devastated thousands, 254 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,360 I suppose, acres of land. And what would have happened to 255 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,720 the wildlife was there, I mean, burned up, covered in mud slides 256 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,040 and whatnot. And why haven't we found any 257 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,600 Bigfoot that might have been in that area also killed? 258 00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:01,720 He says the story begins on May 18th, 1980, when Washington's 259 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,840 mountain St. Helens, one of the most 260 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,040 beautiful peaks in the Cascade Range, exploded in a 261 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,120 catastrophic eruption, killing dozens of people and thousands 262 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,880 of animals and rain, destructive rocks, ash and debris across the 263 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,200 region. After the eruption, a thick flow 264 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,120 of ash, mud and fallen trees choked the rivers and streams 265 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840 and smothered what had once been a healthy forest. 266 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,840 The US Army Corps Engineer and the National Guard were called 267 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640 upon to help in the rescue and recovery operations. 268 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,120 While the hard working men and women from these organizations 269 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,520 worked to recover the bodies of deer, elk, bear and other 270 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,600 animals, it is said they also came across the bodies of two 271 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,520 Sasquatch. These bodies were set aside, 272 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,040 covered with tarps and guarded by armed men and witnesses were 273 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,720 warned to keep quiet. Not all the Sasquatch found on 274 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,720 Mount Saint Helens were dead, however. 275 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,080 One purported witness stated that he and other men were told 276 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,400 to follow a very large, hairy man like creature with a sad 277 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,320 demeanor and a burned arm into the forest. 278 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:10,120 They stopped at several isolated rocky areas with caves, and each 279 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,240 time they stopped the creature would make a strange sound. 280 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,520 Sometimes there would be no answers at all, while other 281 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,800 times a second creature would respond with the same sound. 282 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:24,400 Using this method, the rescuers were able to locate some badly 283 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,800 burned Sasquatch, who were then brought to the camp for medical 284 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,680 attention. According to the tale, at the 285 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,760 end of the rescue mission, there was a debriefing during which 286 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,000 the witnesses were told that the Bigfoot creatures lived in the 287 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,440 forest and just wanted to be left alone. 288 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,040 They were asked to keep quiet in order to protect the few 289 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:48,240 creatures that were left. Another supposed participant of 290 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,520 this post eruption rescue mission stated that his Air 291 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,840 Force unit was sent to Mount Saint Helen's area to help with 292 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,480 the devastation. They were issued M sixteens and 293 00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,680 Green Helmet Smart Guard and were told to protect some of the 294 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,599 military's medical tents and to prevent unauthorized people from 295 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,200 entering the tents. The witness said he saw doctors 296 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,240 guiding unusually tall people or creatures wrapped in overcoats 297 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,000 with their heads covered into the medical tent. 298 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,040 The injured beings were always covered with clothing and 299 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,160 bandages so that their faces and hands could not be seen. 300 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,040 It was a mystery to the men what they were guarding, but they 301 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,880 were told that they were guarding victims of the eruption 302 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,120 and not to ask any questions. In most versions of the story, 303 00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:36,240 the rescuers completed their missions and moved on without 304 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,280 ever finding out what happened to the beings involved. 305 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:42,640 Some accounts indicated that the beings were relocated to other 306 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,680 parts of the Cascades, while others say that the beings were 307 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,600 given a home on a military base, Joint Base Lewis McCord, that 308 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,640 encompasses over 86,000 acres of mostly forced to terrain in the 309 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,360 South Puget Sound region. What exactly happened on Mount 310 00:17:57,360 --> 00:17:59,640 Saint Helens following the eruption or burn? 311 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,960 Sasquatch beings really discovered and cared for by 312 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,520 members of the military, where they disguised as humans, 313 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,480 wrapped in large coats and brought to makeshift hospitals 314 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,040 for care. Many versions of the story exist 315 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,000 online in various publications, videos, documentary films, 316 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,320 etcetera. But hard evidence proving this 317 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,520 these events actually took place has proven difficult to find. 318 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,880 We may never have the full details of this account, but the 319 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,840 story lives on as one of the most captivating Bigfoot tales 320 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,640 of all time. Yeah, like a lot of these 321 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,960 stories, so much time passes that it just kind of transitions 322 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,160 into legend status, at which point it never has to be 323 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,720 addressed by the government. I did look into a couple 324 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,160 articles we were talking about people try to FOIA this stuff 325 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,600 and they were just told, yeah, we don't have anything on this. 326 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,720 But there's so many different stories about Bigfoot here and 327 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:48,920 in Mount Saint Helens area. It's just, it's just mind 328 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,440 boggling to me. I'll just finish off with this 329 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:54,240 last short story from the Mount Saint Helens concerning Bigfoot 330 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,240 this is titled the legend of Jim Carter chased off mount Saint 331 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:02,800 Helen by sasquatch's ape Canyon holds unresolved mystery is a 332 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,840 subtitle the Longview WA times stated August 1963 I found this 333 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:12,120 on the site was at newschoolers.com Spirit Lake, 334 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:16,160 mount Saint Helens, Washington is a dateline ape Canyon, the 335 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,240 legendary home of the Harry apes of mount Saint Helens apparently 336 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,760 swallowed and experienced Mountaineer and expert skier. 337 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:30,120 In May 1950, no trace of Jim Carter, 32, disappeared from a 338 00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:34,040 20 member climbing party from Seattle was found, although 339 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,480 teams of the Northwest Most Proficient Mountain Rescue units 340 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:42,440 combed the area for weeks. Carter's complete disappearance 341 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,800 is an unsolved mystery to this day, declared Bob Lee, well 342 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,480 known Portland Mountaineer who is a member of the exclusive 343 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:53,160 Worldwide Alpine Club. A leader of the 1961 Himalayan 344 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,600 Expedition and advisor to the 1963 American Expedition, Lee 345 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:02,000 said he had never seen one of the monsters, but that there 346 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,280 certainly was evidence that there was something strange on 347 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,880 the high slopes of the mountain. He was convinced of this during 348 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,600 the search for Carter, he said. Doctor Otter Trot Lee Stark and 349 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,880 I finally came to the conclusion that the Mountain Devils got 350 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,640 him, said Lee. Seriously. 351 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,240 Lee, a member of the Seattle Mountain Search and Rescue Unit 352 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,440 at the time, describes the hunt for Carter and Ape Canyon as the 353 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,160 most eerie experience I've ever heard. 354 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,800 There's some of these things being spotted that are actually 355 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,120 naming areas after them. Ape Canyon. 356 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,920 He said that every time he got cut off from the West of the 357 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,240 Searchers during the long hunt, he got the feeling that somebody 358 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,880 was watching me. I could feel the hair on the 359 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:45,800 back of my neck standing up. It was eerie. 360 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,840 I was unarmed except for my ice axe, and believe me, I never let 361 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,880 go of that. At this point in Lee's story, I 362 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,720 could feel my own hair standing up a bit, ready to shoulder 363 00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,080 packs for a step for Safari to Ape Canyon to try to determine 364 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,560 whether there's any truth to ape stories. 365 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,760 I began to feel a little dubious about the whole expedition. 366 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,360 The rest of Lee's tale about the Seattle man's disappearance 367 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,000 didn't do much to reassure me. It seems that the missing man, 368 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,000 Carter, had climbed Mount Saint Helens with a group from Seattle 369 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,120 on a warm, clear Sunday. On the way down the mountain, he 370 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,920 left the other climbers near a landmark called Dog's Head at 371 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,480 the 8000 foot level. Now, this is something that 372 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:26,960 David Pillai is always talks about. 373 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:32,040 His Missing 4, his Missing 411 series, he always talks about 374 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,160 the same. He helps point separation, be a 375 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,880 group of people. One of them splits off and 376 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,840 that's usually not a good sign and but we have it right here. 377 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:43,880 Carter told him he would ski around to the left and take a 378 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,640 picture of the group as they skied down to the timberline. 379 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,360 That was the last time that anyone saw Carter. 380 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,080 The next morning, searchers found a discarded film box at 381 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,040 the point where he had taken a picture. 382 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,840 From here, Carter evidently took off down the mountain in a wild 383 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:04,560 death defying dash, taking no chances that skiers of his 384 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,400 caliber would take unless something was terribly wrong or 385 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,600 he was being pursued, says Lee, who was one of the first 386 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,600 searchers to reach Carter's ski tracks. 387 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,440 Now First off, I have questions why this guy decided he needed 388 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,520 to go down to the bottom of the mountain and photograph these 389 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,360 guys as they came down. And then secondly, they talked 390 00:22:24,360 --> 00:22:26,520 about him just going down this mountain at a high rate of 391 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,440 speed. Was he being chased by 392 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,760 something? Was he being drawn to some point 393 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,320 telepathically? More of this weird, weird 394 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:37,240 behavior that often takes place around these points of 395 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,560 separation that Politis is always talking about goes on 396 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,880 down here. He says he jumped over two or 397 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,560 three large crevices and evidently was going like the 398 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,360 devil. When Carter's tracks reached the 399 00:22:49,360 --> 00:22:53,160 precipitous sides have 8 Canyon, the structures were amazed to 400 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,200 see that Carter had been in such a hurry that he went right down 401 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,840 the steep Canyon walls. But they did not find him at the 402 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:02,680 bottom of the Canyon as he expected. 403 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,040 So imagine this guy flying off the side of this mountain at 404 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:10,120 high speed, but there's no body. We come the Canyon one end to 405 00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,520 the other for five days. Sometimes there were as many as 406 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,800 75 persons in the search party, but no sign of Carter or his 407 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,480 equipment was found, Lee said. After two weeks, the church was 408 00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:24,200 called off. Lee, who has lived in the 409 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,280 Northwest most of his life, recalls there are about 25 410 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,600 different reports of people attacked by ape like men in the 411 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,480 Saint Helens and Cascade areas over a 20 year period. 412 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,160 One was a group of Boy Scouts from Centralia. 413 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,720 He said. Couldn't we check on that story? 414 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:45,760 As near as he could remember, several of the boys who were 415 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,160 taken off the mountain were hysterical after being attacked 416 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,480 by mountain devils. Director Dick Whitney of the 417 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:56,120 original Boy Scouts office in Olympia, WA promised to look for 418 00:23:56,120 --> 00:23:58,800 a record of the incident. To our surprise, he called back 419 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,080 to say that he had located the name of the leader and the troop 420 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,480 involved in the incident. It was a troop under the late 421 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,400 Scout Master Peace from Centralia. 422 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,960 He said that's spelled P/E ASE when he promised to have Peace's 423 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,840 son, who works for the state of Washington, call the Journal as 424 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,400 soon as he returns from vacation. 425 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,680 I'm not seeing any follow up here. 426 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,960 Miners, Scouts, Mountaineers and most recently, an editor of 427 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,160 other reliable Portland residents. 428 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,160 The list of persons who have seen the Harry Apes at Mount 429 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:34,240 Saint Helens is very impressive. This, of course, is the Longview 430 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,320 Times dated 1963. It says, wow. 431 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,720 And then it's got a 1924 says that Prospector shot and killed 432 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,720 Bigfoot Nape Canyon that I believe was the one we just 433 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,080 talked about. And, well, the Bigfoot was shot 434 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,080 in the head, but no body, of course, was ever recovered. 435 00:24:49,560 --> 00:24:51,880 Yeah, back to this missing hiker, though. 436 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,480 This is so puzzling to me, and it's such a strange case. 437 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,040 It reminds me so much of the ones that Dave Plitus talks 438 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,240 about where people are going on this group outing and then for 439 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,760 some inexplicable reason, a person decides that, hey, I'm 440 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,560 going to do this or I'm going to do that. 441 00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,760 Almost like they're being called away and they give some kind of 442 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:12,800 feeble excuse and they take off. And at this point of separation, 443 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,840 and then sometimes they track them to the, it's almost like 444 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,680 they just disappear into thin air. 445 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,760 Well, in this one here, he kind of did if he just really skis 446 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,360 off the edge of this Canyon. But then you would expect to 447 00:25:23,360 --> 00:25:25,120 find the body at the bottom of the Canyon. 448 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,120 Like they said, they searched for five days, found nothing and 449 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:32,000 at the same time of this whole backdrop, this area, we have 450 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,920 multiple reports of what we would call now today, Bigfoot. 451 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,800 Very, very strange things indeed. 452 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:41,440 Some really cool different sightings and stories 453 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,040 surrounding the whole Bigfoot legend out there in and around 454 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,680 Mount Saint Helen. Fitting clear back from 1924 455 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,160 through the 50s after the eruption period and then with 456 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:57,240 these bones that were found what early 2010, 2015 with these 457 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,280 human like bite impressions out of them. 458 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,480 Lots of cool evidence for Bigfoot in Washington state. 459 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,920 Until next time, this is UFO warning over and out.
