A man who spent two days alone 28 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,920 on an island after capsizing his canoe says he had a terrifying 29 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,840 encounter with the mythical creature. 30 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,200 And in the NDBTS Tilcho region, he's not the first. 31 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,960 On July 17th, after boating hours from Waty to the most 32 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,600 northern tip of Lac La Mantra, 42 year old Tony Willa spotted 33 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,440 some garbage in the water ahead of him, a plastic bag bobbing in 34 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,440 the waves. Willa slowly brought the boat up 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,120 beside it. He reached to get it, but just 36 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:11,039 as he did, a wave rocked the boat and he fell over the side 37 00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,160 and into the frigid water. This guy's being a Good 38 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,120 Samaritan, picking up trash out of the lake ends up falling into 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,080 this frigid water. He struggled to pull himself up 40 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,840 back into the boat, but his clothes, heavy with the weight 41 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,760 of the water, kept pulling him down. 42 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,320 He grabbed a plastic bag of supplies and began the long 43 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,920 tiring swim to shore. Now I'll tell you I've I've been 44 00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:36,680 up north, not that far up north, but just imagine being out there 45 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,120 in this lake in the wilderness by yourself and this cold water 46 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,960 in the middle of that lake which swimming for the nearest island. 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,760 Wow. I managed to swim to an island 48 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,880 at the point at the end of the point, William told to be CBC 49 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,920 and told Cho in his ill life hospital room last week. 50 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,760 He says that's when he encountered the Bush man. 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,800 All of a sudden there was a big man standing beside me. 52 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,160 He said he must have walked away because I heard some branches 53 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,640 breaking through the bushes. I packed up my clothes in a 54 00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:05,880 white bag and ready myself to leave. 55 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,840 Will you swim away from the island and would spend another 56 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 48 hours alone in the wilderness? 57 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,640 So for crying out loud, this guy swim onto this island and then 58 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:19,400 swim to another island. Unbelievable. 59 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,760 He was rescued by RCMP and Canadian military. 60 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,320 He would tell the story of his encounter with the Bushmen. 61 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,320 To whoever to whoever would listen. 62 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,280 Not enough to be tossed out of your boat and swimming to an 63 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,240 island and then I guess from the island on onto the mainland, but 64 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520 to have encountered Bigfoot along the way. 65 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:44,360 For many in the Tilcher region, the presence of Bushmen are not 66 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:48,560 a as they're known in in the Tilcho language is a reality 67 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,720 that goes back thousands of years. 68 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,000 The terrifying human like creature are known for stealing 69 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:58,400 people from Bush camps. Tilcho columnist Jon Bezo 70 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,600 described them in 2010 in NWT News N. 71 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,720 Generally they are silent and for the unfortunate few who have 72 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,560 seen them, these symptoms can be experienced. 73 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,240 The back of the neck will tingle. 74 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,520 Skin will break into goosebumps, unstoppable shivers. 75 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,880 The heart beats faster, accompanied by shortness of 76 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,839 breath. As I wrote, Tilcho elder Michael 77 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:23,480 Lewis Ribesca learned about the not a when he was a boy living 78 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,800 in the Bush with his parents. I got the story from my grandma 79 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,840 because my grandma lived in the Bush all the time, Ribesca says. 80 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,720 Veska says that the Tilcho, the Tilcho people and not a have 81 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,600 lived in the same region since time immemorial. 82 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,520 He says not a look just like human beings and even wear 83 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,280 modern clothes. Now that's a new one. 84 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,000 Imagine that, a Bigfoot dressed in modern clothes. 85 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,720 But he says not a have powerful magic. 86 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,640 They alert people toward them and steal them, never to be seen 87 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,480 again. There's even stories of not a 88 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,520 stealing moose and Caribou carcasses. 89 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520 Rebecca says. When he was little, his 90 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,840 grandmother told him a story about one of his relatives who 91 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:10,320 encountered A not A and was never seen again. 92 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,400 They took him. In that case, the not a appeared 93 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,240 suddenly on an island. They used medicine power to push 94 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,320 him into the shore. They did it. 95 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,440 They took him, Robesca says. So we never saw him. 96 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,200 We never heard him again. Some people heard him talking, 97 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,120 screaming help, but nobody can do nothing. 98 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,800 Nearly a century later, Robesca had his own encounter with not 99 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,320 a. While driving toward the Frank 100 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,080 Channel Bridge between Ray and Edzo one morning decades ago, he 101 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,040 says he saw a man standing in the middle of the narrow bridge. 102 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,560 Robesca slowed down as he approached the man, and then all 103 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,120 of a sudden the man jumped over the side. 104 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,160 Robeska hurried out of his vehicle to look over the side to 105 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,720 see if the man was OK, but there was no one there. 106 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,720 I didn't see him. I don't know what happened to 107 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,000 him. Robeska says he's done his best 108 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,200 to collect and pass on storage of not A to the next generation. 109 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,080 He said that as development pushes further north into the 110 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Bush, interactions with Bushmen will only increase. 111 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,080 Now that's a strange one. I guess I really wasn't even 112 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:20,000 aware of this creature was part of the native folklore, this not 113 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960 a. Kind of A twist on Bigfoot 114 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,280 almost I guess you would say. Let's take a look at this next 115 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:26,880 article. I found this ID over at 116 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:32,000 gcbro.com from the files of GCBGCBRO. 117 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,240 It says date on this is 624 O2 time various times. 118 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,120 Location. Fort Simpson, Northwest 119 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,160 Territory, Canada. Rocky terrain observed. 120 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,520 We saw tracks that were moose, so we went up the Bank of the 121 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,040 Creek and started following the tracks. 122 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,440 So we followed it for about an hour when we decided to call for 123 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,480 the moose. We called a couple of times when 124 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,360 we heard a large grunt followed by a deep growl. 125 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,840 Thinking it was a bear, we kept trying to call the moose. 126 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,800 We called for about 1/2 an hour before we gave up and ended up 127 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:10,320 walking back to the boat. We got back but realized that we 128 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,240 were off our trail and far away from the boat. 129 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,680 We started walking along the Bank of the Creek when we saw 130 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,440 the moose on the other side of the Creek. 131 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,800 We stopped and shot the moose. We went to skin it and Johnny 132 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,040 said if the moose was on this side then what made those 133 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,680 noises? I said it must have been a bear. 134 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,080 It started getting dark but we started to skin the moose. 135 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,360 Later that night we were still skinning the moose and loading 136 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,360 it into the jet boat when we started hearing the noises 137 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:43,360 again, this time followed by breaking bushes and snorts into 138 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,040 the air like something was spilling something they liked. 139 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,760 We were a little scared so we got up the rifles ready. 140 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,320 We made our fire bigger and started making a lot of noise 141 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,040 and then the noises stopped. We finished skinning the moose 142 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,680 and then finished loading the moose. 143 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,600 By this time we were just about to leave when I had realized we 144 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,520 forgot to cut off the rack. The sun was coming up and we 145 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,360 heard the noises from where the moose was. 146 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,920 We thought it was a bear, so we grabbed the guns and ran toward 147 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,800 it. When we got there, there wasn't 148 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,560 Bigfoot. He was squatting or picking off 149 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,560 pieces of meat at the remainder of the carcass. 150 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,520 Right then. I swear I almost blanked my 151 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,840 pants. He stood up and he must have 152 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,800 been 8 feet tall. He picked up the head and most 153 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:34,600 of the other remaining things and walked away quickly. 154 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,679 We had run and got the camera, but by the time we got back it 155 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,799 was gone. Oh boy, did you imagine that? 156 00:08:41,799 --> 00:08:44,960 Just coming back there to the side of that moose kill and here 157 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,560 this Bigfoot is just lazily picking away at the kill. 158 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:54,000 It says description of creature, 8 foot tall, really wide, hairy, 159 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,440 black, bottomless eyes. And then it says other people at 160 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,880 Fish and Hunter have said that they have heard things too. 161 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,200 Other note, 2 sets of big footprints. 162 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,640 One was about 16 inches and the other was about 12 inches. 163 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,640 So it sounds like there was more than one of these Bigfoot. 164 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,240 They're just kind of checking out this kill once these guys 165 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,360 had had left it and that is really something this one take a 166 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,760 look at this next one. I'll finish up with this article 167 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,840 here I found at spectacularnwt.com. 168 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,280 It's got a just a really cool picture of this mountain here 169 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,480 kind of displaying just how remote beautiful this place is. 170 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,240 The Northwest Territories Valley of the Headless Man is steeped 171 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,000 and Lauren legend, it says, and the title of the article is The 172 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,320 Haunting History of this Canadian National Park. 173 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Dark mountain Spears Pierce the fog against the steely sky, 174 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,240 making Nahanni National Park more akin to Mordor than Canada. 175 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:55,200 The park can only be accessed by boat or or float plane by 176 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:59,000 intrepid travelers seeking to conquer the Rapids of the Nani 177 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,800 River or summit the formidable Cirque of the Unclimbables. 178 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,520 It's impenetrable forests and mountains may be the primary 179 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:11,120 reason Anani sees limited visitors, but perhaps it is also 180 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,360 because the park is shrouded in the Cobb legends befitting of 181 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,920 its menacing landscape. The supernatural lore has earned 182 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,000 Nahani the moniker the Valley of the Headless Men, and many 183 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,560 believe this UNESCO World Heritage Site to be haunted. 184 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,280 Sounds like the perfect place for Bigfoot to me. 185 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,400 Men vanished in that country and down the river, They say it's a 186 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,440 damn good country to keep clear of. 187 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:40,800 When British writer and explorer Raymond Patterson set out to the 188 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,960 Nahanni region from Fort Smith in 1927, he received an an 189 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,600 ominous piece of advice, according to Neil Hartling in 190 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,560 his book Nahanni River of Gold, River of Dreams. 191 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,960 Men vanished in that country and down the river. 192 00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,600 They say it's a damn good country to keep clear of. 193 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,800 Lured by reports of gold in the area, brothers Frank and Willie 194 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:08,760 McLeod journeyed from Edmonton, AB to the Nahanni region in 19 O 195 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,320 4. Traveling with primitive gear, 196 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,480 they traversed hundreds of kilometers by train, boat and 197 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,080 foot during a numbingly cold winter until they reached Gold 198 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,920 Creek. Their efforts were rewarded that 199 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,400 year and they returned to their home in Fort Leard with gold in 200 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,600 hand. However, not satisfied, their 201 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,040 brothers made a second expedition into the Nahanni 202 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,520 range in 19 O 5. They never returned. 203 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,160 Nothing was heard from Frank and Willie until brother Charlie 204 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,880 MacLeod LED a search in the park in 19 O 8, where he discovered 2 205 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,880 skeletons at their camp on the river's edge in a vast valley. 206 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,800 Their heads had been severed and one man lay with his arms 207 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,640 outstretched toward his gun. The blankets were thrown across 208 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,880 their brothers as if they had leaped suddenly from the bed. 209 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,240 Report reports from that day forward, the valley has been 210 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,040 known as Dead Man Valley and the Creek called Headless Creek. 211 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,360 Lots of scary stuff kind of goes along with these Native American 212 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,320 legends there of these creatures, these Bigfoot like 213 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,360 creatures actually killing people. 214 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,920 This is weird. It wasn't just the McLeod 215 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,320 brothers who died or went missing in the park in the early 216 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,120 20th century. A Scottish engineer had been 217 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,680 traveling with them and was never seen again, and Yukon 218 00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:30,880 prospector Martin Jorgeson met a similar fate in 1917. 219 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,000 He had sent news from home that he had struck at Rich in the 220 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,800 area. Not long after, his decapitated 221 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,320 skeleton was found outside his cabin, which had been burned to 222 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:44,400 the ground, spawning rumors of headhunters in the valley in 223 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160 Canadian newspapers. Numerous other reports from 224 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,160 Royal Canadian Mounted Police confirmed similar deaths, and a 225 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,480 good number of people have simply vanished without a trace 226 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,960 after setting foot in the park. Around the same time in the 227 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,920 park's history, a series of unexplained plane crashes earned 228 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,680 in expansive mountains. The name? 229 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,240 The funeral Range, which borders in ominous Hells Gate Rapids. 230 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,680 This is one of these things, you know, these places with these 231 00:13:12,680 --> 00:13:15,040 strange names, I think there's something to it. 232 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,880 And I've heard David Plides talk about this, places where you 233 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,760 have the name of the devil or Hells or this this case, Funeral 234 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,000 range, Hells, Gate Rapids. I think these places often time 235 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,960 earn those names, they aren't just given to them haphazardly. 236 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,720 These seemingly supernatural deaths are only part of the 237 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,600 mystery that Nahanni National Park has steeped in since the 238 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,440 first Denny people settled there 10,000 years ago. 239 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,640 The lore of hidden tropical gardens, mythical creatures and 240 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,720 spirits hiding in the parks, Hot Springs and tufa mounds 241 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,800 abounded. I once heard a deco chief tell 242 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,560 stories of an ancient giant of Gahantha, which is now known as 243 00:13:54,560 --> 00:13:57,960 Rabbit Kettle Hot Springs, who would cook his food in the 244 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,080 springs, says Joel Hilbert, owner of Nahanni Wild. 245 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,680 Whether giants from the park or not, the Hot Springs do hold 246 00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:08,200 spatial cultural significance for the Deco, who leave 247 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,680 offerings like tobacco at the springs for good luck. 248 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,640 It's said if the springs are full, it's an auspicious sign. 249 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:18,560 Later in the 19th century, UFO sightings and other strange 250 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,480 lights were reported in the park, and to this day, fringe 251 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,960 bloggers obsessed with cryptids recount stories of Amphibia Day, 252 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:31,680 a predator bear dog hybrid that went extinct in the Ileocene 253 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,520 period, prowling the valley, as well as signs of Bigfoot 254 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,040 activity and forbidden parts of the park. 255 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:42,520 Certain areas within Nahanni are closed to visitors because of 256 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,160 their sensitive ecosystems or cultural significance for the 257 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,640 indigenous deny people. But some say the restrictions 258 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,040 are as much about containing the park's supernatural forces as 259 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,840 they are about keeping people out. 260 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,960 That's interesting. People will protect the legend 261 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,840 even if they've never seen it. While the headless deaths have 262 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,120 all been confirmed by police reports and attributed to less 263 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,400 mystical causes. The greed and rivalry that 264 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,720 marked the Gold Rush era, as well as her brutal, dangerous 265 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,400 reality of isolation in the wilderness, the Lord simply 266 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,720 remains part of the Nahani National Parks mystery and 267 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,040 allure. What is real, though, is the 268 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,360 park's sacred mythological presence in the collective 269 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,520 Canadian psyche, which may work to help protect the area from 270 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,320 further mining and environmental exploitation. 271 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,240 People will protect the legend even if they've never seen it, 272 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,320 notes Harling, who's also the founder of Nahani River 273 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,600 Adventures in his book. These Haunting, otherworldly 274 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,720 accounts also serve as an allegory for the terrifying void 275 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,160 that is nature itself. The fear of the unknown in a 276 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,600 wild, uncharted land is part of the siren song that explorers 277 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:56,240 will always answer. This is definitely very remote, 278 00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:00,640 and it does seem like exactly the kind of place you would see 279 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,240 a Bigfoot or possibly any of these other cryptids to talk 280 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,280 about. Pretty cool stuff. 281 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,160 Yeah, it's so far away. I thought there would be more 282 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,800 readily available Bigfoot reports coming out of the 283 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,760 Northwest Territory. But I think this place is just 284 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,160 so isolated and so sparsely populated that the stories that 285 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:20,680 you're going to hear there are going to be on the ground. 286 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:23,760 Until next time. This is UFO warning over and 287 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:24,080 out.
