Hi I have to say that this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. The chilling story of the man who had the wife that was very ill really impressed me due to the fact that you could with his voice and breathing, that he is still affected by this. This is a very well done documentary, thank you to whomever suggested it from Bigfoot Society! Jan
I saw them a couple times as a kid in Alaska. 1st was eating fish out of a small creek. All black. Flash of red in the eyes. We ran and so did it. But it got low. It used its long arms to pull itself under a fallen spruce. It climbed up the opposite embankment. It got up on 2 legs and started running. I stopped to get a look. He had a swimmers build. Broad shoulders that droop. He howled as ran away. 7ft-8ft tall. The 2nd was 4 years later up wolf lake trail. I went off trail at some open meadows toward Government Peak. I saw a brown and grey one walking toward me on the opposite side of a thin cluster of birch and aspens. When it saw me it sprinted to the trees and got low. It looked at me as it reached out and grabbed a tree, then slid out of sight. I heard the branches breaking as it circled behind me. I started moving toward home gingerly. I didn't run until I had some distance. I ran just past the next cluster of trees heading toward another cluster.I spotted him running ahead and watching me as I kept walking to an open spot between the trees. He darted into the trees headed towards me. He popped his had out and popped back in closer. I knew I had to beat him to the bottleneck. I ran a couple hundred yards to the trail. I was hot and tired. I knew if I stopped, I was going to be dinner. I ran for thee miles home past that spot in the creek where the previous one was years earlier. This put a permanent fear of the bush in me. The way they move keeps them hidden. City people laugh because they think they know everything. Forget them. Don't be afraid to tell your story.
Thanks for Your story! I was 1984 in the blue mountains in Australia 🇦🇺 and we could see huge footprints from a Yowie there. Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe! 😎👍🍀💪🐺
Greetings from Slovakia. My son heard uncanny high pitched yelping sounds in a wooded area not too far from where we live, and not recognizing them and feeling as if something was off, made a quick dash home, but not before seeing a large creature light brown and grey in colour moving quickly on 2 legs along the edge of the tree line. Some 2l days later I visited the same spot with him in the hope of finding any footprints or animal kill as he'd clearly been shook up by the incident. It's a strange area as mountain lights and weird things have been seen there. To my amazement there were tracks to be found. While clearly not from a bigfoot but those of a wolf, (Dogman?) 10cm in diameter 18cm in length. Took a series of photos and was able to cast 2 of them. They're huge. Nearby were some torn off tree branches with a girth of about a man's thigh. Upon closer inspection there's a huge tree uprooted and leant between some branches. Strange thing is that this tree is upside down, something that couldn't be done without using a large crane. Took video and pictures of that also. Some 3 years previously a 64 year old woman out picking berries with 3 friends disappeared in classic missing 411 style on a mountain close to the events of above, and was found dead 2 months later in a river some distance away wearing only shoes and socks. Strange things do indeed abound out there. Am going to make further trips to this area this week (and beyond) so wish me luck. Love this channel and am a long term subscriber.
@foxoutfoxing -- Are you sure about the cms?? That isn't huge. These dogmen are roughly 7 feet tall and have prints measured as about 8inches wide and longer in the length. Would love to hear back.
Great documentary! I like hearing the stories from the people who live in the area. I traveled through WV a few years back and it is so rugged and beautiful. I have no doubt Bigfoot could live there undetected.
@@georgeslupski5987 There is Evidence . However you are right there needs to be something ,a body,bones,etc.. But it does not take away the fact that the STM crew does a GREAT job on filmmaking . If you don’t like it ,don’t watch it . Stop being a hater.
Grew up in Summersville, WV. haven’t been back for 30 years. Always played in the woods, never saw anything. Currently live in the Pacific Northwest and still haven’t see anything, but I believe they exist.
Another brilliant episode from the guys at small town monsters, love getting the notification when the next bigfoot show is on, this one was another masterpiece, I love hearing people's encounters and you can tell there telling the truth as it seems when you have seen it once they don't really want to see it again, I couldn't imagine the fear it must put a person in...
My father , when we were in the foot hills , of the Sierra mountains, dredging for gold , on the ; Rubicon River, my father pulled out his 30/30 and gave a few warning shots in the air , because one of these creatures , came rampaging down the mountain at us .I know what is was because their is nothing out their in the pitch dark , at night , coming down a mountain without a flashlite , and was no bear , walking on two legs.
I said! Are they here? Man they're real. Bought $600 of LED 90.2 flashlights 🔦. Yep lit 1 up. 8ft tall and 600 lbs. Heard a lot of sounds. In Massachusetts
Me and my crew, while working for the Idaho DEQ had multiple encounters in the Bitterroot Wilderness. If you're ever unfortunate enough to experience these things, it'll change everything you ever thought was true and certain in your life. I do not wish it on anyone.
@@nadir1378 there were four encounters and it would take too long to describe here. It did come into our camp at night and showed aggression tho only to our cookware. One of my crew mates saw it up close, about 20 yards. He said it looked like an extremely large and hairy man and that it was trying to hide. At first he thought it was a moose or a bear laying down. But when he saw its face, it drove him to want to quit. I'd never seen a person so shaken. The rest of us saw its tracks and we all hear it's scream/ howl. Keep in mind, it followed us for 3 days and nights. Like I said, it's a long story.
Tell your encounters on Sasquatch Chronicles-that channel is probably the best one I've listened to. Wes Germer is respectful, patient, down to earth, and just an all around really nice guy. His show is highly respected.
STM crew - Here's a fistbump on another well done show/story! I appreciated the fact the locals were so involved in this discussion. I have a daughter living near WVU and my other 2 adult kids live within mere miles of WV. I lived there myself for quite a few years couple decades ago... I witnessed on 2 separate occasions a being/ creature that I saw up on a ridge south of Fairmont and I felt like it KNEW I saw it, that I was looking at it. I felt fear, like I had seen an actual monster . I feel like the stories shared here were honest and un-embelished... I have never told my experiences to anyone until now...( the little bit I shared) But I thank you for doing what you all do.. and west Virginia IS wild and wonderful....mixed with some wild and weird as well....I've listened to 1st hand accounts from folks there who have experienced some terrifying encounters there and as forested as WV is....its probably going to continue for some time..... Kirsten ✌️ Minnesota
Thank you Kirsten you said it best, I tried to say pretty much same as you with me living in W va n my Ancestors too from pioneering days since it was Virginia, I feel like this episode resonates with those of us that know the truth
My granddad was born and raised in Buchanan, WVA. When he was 13 or 14 yrs old he had to go to work in the coal mines. His boss had sent him and 3 other miners to a mine that had been shut down months before to retrieve some equipment that had been left there. He said they walked about 75 yards into the entrance and a white Bigfoot came out of the shadows and scared the daylights out of them. They dropped what they'd had in their hands and ran hellbent for leather back to their vehicle. He said it was 7 to 8 foot tall. This was in the mid 1930's. He joined the Army when he turned 16 and after serving until after WWII he moved to south Georgia. He met my grandmother, started his own well drilling business and moved his parents and his youngest siblings to Georgia. They had struggled to make ends meet all of his young life spent in WVA. My great granddad made and ran moonshine up until the time they moved. Granddad only talked about his encounter 3 or 4 times to me. I can't imagine having that experience myself and I hope I never do but there are more and more sightings of Bigfoot in Georgia now.
Thanks for sharing. That's an awesome experience. Totally cool that your granddad was willing to tell you about his experience. No doubt he wanted his family to be aware of the strange things that could be a possible danger when you are out and about.
My family has lived the next county over from Buckhannon, WVa, since the 1850s. Yes, there are clans of Bigfoot here and have been for generations. I have had ongoing experiences with them as have several folks in my family going back decades. I think when the weather gets cold in the late fall, they congregate in caves and old abandoned mining tunnels in remote areas where the laurel thickets cover the entries. They don't hibernate in winter but they roam around a lot less. Then they show back up in this area around the first week of April. They are actually quite neighborly but I'm sure there are other types that aren't so nice. Many folks back here know about them but don't share their interactions with outsiders. They don't want to open themselves up to being made fun of.
I'm guessing that they age just like everything else and turn gray/white when they're old. I've never seen one yet in WV, but I have seen three UFOs. Most people around here have seen something unexplainable in the woods that they don't like talking about due to public ridicule.
He must have seen an old one. I believe they go grey and white just like us when they're old. I live in WV and would like to see one someday, I have seen three UFOs though.
I come from just south of McDowell county, across into Virginia. Never in all my years growing up did I encounter anything in the woods and no one told any stories about these things. My Pop always said they only exist in the Pac NW. So oddly enough 30 years later I had an encounter in WA. Now I see reports all the time from back home in VA, even one near my hometown. I always wish my father was still alive to hear about them. He grew up in a holler himself and had all sorts of scary stories to tell us when we were kids. I think he would be surprised to know sasquatches are in the VA mountains too.
One of the things that strikes me when I hear these reports is that the population of these things has to be increasing. I live in central North Carolina just east of Raleigh. I have hunted all over this area. Have hunted all over southern virginia which is only fifty to sixty miles away. And the last couple of years in west virginia. I've never seen anything unusual. Yet I know someone personally just on the west side of Raleigh that has seen these things five or six times, one of which she said was probably ten to eleven feet tall. East of me there is a small town called Littleton and there have been eight or nine sightings in the area. Something is going on.
@@johngarnergarner6724 likely it's also people being more open about having sightings than was often the case in decades past. But yes, sightings seem to be on the rise from what I've seen too. Maybe they're bolder in some areas than others or over time, very likely we're coming into their territories more than we used to with human development spreading more and more into previously wild areas. Suburban sprawl and the like.
@@georgeslupski5987even if they were out “researching” and wanting to see one, if something that big suddenly appeared most people would probably freeze in shock and disbelief. If I had a scary dog growling at me even from a distance I wouldn’t be thinking about a photo of it
@@georgeslupski5987 I had encounter in 86 with another person. No one carried cameras around like they do today, I was in shock, its surreal when you see one. people get scared stiff
There is a guy in Danville Virginia who has said that back in the mid seventees he and a few freinds were riding dirtbikes in the deep woods.He stated that on many occasions they were confronted with a Bigfoot.He said they told their parents but were ignored.He stands by his stories to this day.
Chilling video clip of investigator Russ Jones in the woods, stalked by something big in the woods ! Investigation team encounters something lurking in the woods !
They are out there, me and a friend had a terrifying experience on a canoe trip in Texas back in the early 90's. Still affects me to this day, after that experience neither of us went camping in the woods since.
God bless you sir. I feel your pain. I’m so sorry you had that experience. I’ve seen something, not a Bigfoot, but in the sky… I couldn’t believe it either. I’ve always been a believer of things like Bigfoot, aliens, ghosts, etc. But actually experiencing them and realizing just how small and human you are in comparison to them, it was enough for me to just block it out for a while. We’re no match for these things, even with a gun. And I’m a gun owner, but I truly do believe in your experience.
Spent a few days in WV in 2017 as I was going from one job site to another. I came in thinking it was going to be all hillbillies and stills. There certainly seemed to be a couple of ramshackle, crossroads communities, but not like what my preconceptions had led me to think. I was awe struck by how beautiful the state was. I was "based" in Charleston, but I struck out a couple days just driving state highways and seeing what I could see. I didn't have any cryptid encounters, but I can certainly see how there could be a population of sasquatch in that state.
I admire thoughs who have told they're experience. I still haven't felt ok to tell my experience in 1989 in the forest across the street from our home in Georgia. It's just unbelievable and I know telling it, most wouldn't believe me anyhow. But over the years I've wondered how many locals and Indians have seen for themselves. Forsythe County Georgia in the late 80's still had Sasquatch. It was truly Terrifying.
From listening to others' accounts on Sasquatch Chronicles, many have said that just being able to tell their stories was a huge relief and healing. Tell your story, I think that it will help. You would be surprised how supportive the community is there and at How To Hunt (Steve Isdahl) channel also. You'd also be surprised how many would believe you as well.
I live in Georgia as well. As you know, there are many sighting here in our state. I hope you find it in yourself one day to share your experience. I know myself, as well as many others would not only believe you, but would feel privileged for you to share. Sharing would give you some relief...
Hi Guys , Marie from South Wales UK 🇬🇧 WOW......Another Awesome Episode worth Waiting for .Just Love going on your Adventures and talking to these people who have had Incredible Encounters. Stay Safe Out There 😲😲👣👣👣👣👣❤
West Virginny! Land where I was born. Another great film, Seth. I loved seeing the sights of my childhood. And the stories, of course. I’m looking forward to Part II.
Mark's narrating is great, and it's great to see Seth is interviewing some witnesses again. Alex and Eli's camping trips give a great insight into the various research locations and the terrain types, and they do make very good viewing. But the truth is they are not quite as charismatic or personable in the way they present a video, the way that Seth is for example. That's not intended as a criticism in any way- some people just have that attribute more than others. Tbh none of the camping/research trips are quite so interesting as hearing the people's experiences. Great episode, thank you guys. I do wish you could fit in a few more videos with Seth and Mark.
What a good report I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 there is a similar creature here called the yowie.the only time I’d heard of West Virginia is the John Denver’s song. But these people seem 110 percent honest to me there’s definitely something wandering the hills of West Virginia
West Virginia is a beautiful and rugged state. I grew up there in the 1960’s until 1992 and it was common knowledge of strange beings The Moth Man , The Braxton County monster, and Bigfoot. I have never seen Bigfoot but heard one while backpacking in the Cranberry Glades and saw the Braxton monster while driving back from Morgantown in early November 1985. There are places in some counties that have less than 10 people to the square mile and have not had regular visitors in 40 plus years. Keep up the good work this brought back many memories
I'm from Ontario and don't know much about West Virginia. Looking at the satellite map it's clear why it would be prime bigfoot territory. The amount of hills as seen from above are endless. Amazing landscape.
Great video... I enjoyed hearing from the people that live in the area being focused instead of two guys just visiting. Excellent reinforcement of journaling experiences. Well done Seth.
Thank you for this video!! I'm Native American and usually don't watch B.F. videos all the way through because they don't know what they're talking about!!!! I will say you did your research and I'm impressed!!! Thank you for sharing your work!!!
I just found this site and to say the very least, I'm extremely intrigued. I'm a big city (Los Angeles - San Fernando valley resident) so my surroundings are completely different & the only unusual things here are mostly just how different the many different cultures act & react to any given situation. I look forward to viewing the site again and hearing more accounts & sightings
I'm from the UK and will never see one but if these people have witnessed seeing one then who am I to disbelieve them. I do believe in them. Great documentary.
Beautiful documentary! I live in these same mountains- in western North Carolina. I absolutely loved hearing the personal stories from the people who live in West Virginia 🥰 Thanks so much for this!
My mother and father were from WV and we would go back to visit family all of the time during summer, my Granny lived up a holler in Wayne WV so it was surrounded by hills and as a kid you could always hear these Sasquatch yelling or calling one another, but we were so used to it because the couple hundred acres had been in my Granny’s family from ancestors down to her. We just didn’t really know what type of animal it was. Ok so now that I’ve given a background I’ll tell you how my mother and a finally saw two of these things out of the window of the kitchen in basically Granny’s backyard coming down from the hill, my mother had moved back down there to care for my granny, well there was a baby or juvenile, it was smaller and so I think it was probably the mom, they both had dark hair and were walking around bipedal looking for something, neither one of us could figure out WTH they were. We just kept watching them and both of us dumbfounded. We could clearly tell they weren’t black bears even though WV has hundreds of them. They didn’t have a muzzle like a bear and the fact that they were walking on their feet like humans just blew our mind. Not one time did Bigfoot cross our minds until actually just last year after watching these shows and listening to podcasts did it finally hit me what we saw. Now just a few years after my mother and I saw these, my husband and I had something roar or growl at us from across the little roadway when we were getting out of the car that scared me so bad I literally ran up across the bridge way into my granny’s house and didn’t even look back to see where my husband was 😂 it went right through my body and in my mind it sounded like a damn gorilla or monkey, and I seriously thought something had escaped from a zoo. 😂 neither one of us could figure out what it was and searched and searched different animal sounds and couldn’t find it anywhere until like I said we both actually started listening to all of these podcasts, heard those Sierra sounds, etc. We did not believe in Bigfoot and always laughed about it. As a kid I thought they lived in California and no way did they live anywhere else. My mother passed away in 2013 and we only go when I can to visit her grave along with the grandparents. Otherwise we just don’t visit and haven’t since before my mother died. I’m sure that these things still live there, but I definitely don’t want to go check it out after realizing what they were. Oh and I forgot to say that when that baby and the big one saw us looking at them it was almost like they disappeared in front of our eyes 😮 we both looked at each other and said where’d they go? 😂 from where we were standing the big one would have had to have been around 7 feet because I could tell from where they were in the yard and the little one was about 3-4 ft high. From the window to where they were was about 150 ft I’m so glad we honestly didn’t know WTH they were because I probably would have died from shock. Lol
Fascinating and fact. I can't go into the details however, whilst I was serving with my unit in the British military, myself and a small team were were tasked with tracking an individual in the deep forests of Washington state. We were expert trackers and we did find the individual . All I can say is that it was something that we had never seen or come across before a female. That individual was taken by helicopter to a non disclosed location. Black helicopter no markings. We then flew back to our base in the UK. Subscribed. 🗡️🇬🇧🇺🇲🗡️
These things are literally everywhere. I lived in Valdese NC in late 89 early 90 at the bottom of a mountain right next to I-40. These things would pace you in the woods. Break branches behind the house. Jump on and run across the roof. Beat on the walls. Went on for months until we moved. Never really felt threatened. They just didn't mind letting us know they were there.
Having seen one of these creatures, the absolute hardest thing to convey, is the sheer size. You can’t fathom it, unless you see it…the absolute mass, the body mass of these things is something that is impossible to get across in a description. It just is.
I live in the mountains of southwest Virginia, one of the old words the ol timy people used was the word that daniel boone use when he said he had killed one of these bigfoots, he called it a yahoo , i have heard some of the old mountain people say when talking about someone, that yahoo over at dads house, or some yahoo came by and tried to sell his dog, . I didn't know where that word came from until i heard it used by Daniel Boone who said one of his regrets was killing one of those Yahoo's
My experience with the word yahoo , among people in that region, particularly old timey language that gets passed along - is to refer to a wayward, misbehaving, a little crazy type person, but a person. Not a Sasquatch.
This is the kind of video content I love! Sure, the field investigating trips are good too, but give me interviews with witnesses, historians, and retellings of old accounts and newspaper articles. It's important these old encounters get brought into the modern media so as not to be lost to time.
Excellent documentary. It is hard for me to stay focused on one thing when watching videos. But you guys always keep my attention. With big eyes and anticipation. I'm in the PNW (33tears) but i grew up in the South. I have to say @20:00 this man's recollections of his experiences had me on the edge of my seat. When you talked about if you roll down the hills in your county, I laughed so hard. I grew up in the woods in the South. In the winter, it stays very green in the PNW. Not so much in the woods back home. Very different. Of all the stories that I've heard, what I hear, is they choose you... THE FEAR of the folks that experience it but choose to track it, is the proof to me. It lures you. Keep searching. If possible please refrain from killing them. I saw a vidro from 8 years ago (different channel) the guy said he killed one and left it. he said he had remorse but will kill one again. To me, that's not remorse. You can't call something to be "like a man," then contemplate murdering it. Trapping, getting video proof, fingerprint analysis, hair samples, some type of DNA, then, you will have proof. (I hope to meet you guys next time you are in the PNW. I'm hooked! @smalltownmonters )
Each first hand account, no matter how intense, gets us believers one step closer to piecing together this puzzle. Someday, mankind will be able to complete the puzzle and get the complete picture.
My buddy and I heard an unexplainable growl that came from above us on the Spring Cave trail in Colorado. It came from above us on short cliff that had a very dense shrub oak border. Only 1 0f 3 possible things could have made it. Mountain Lion, Black Bear or Bigfoot. After walking the rest of the trail back to back with a loaded pistol and got home. There were no recorded sounds of Bear or Lion that mimicked this growl. The closest I have come is in one of Todd Standings videos. There was a growl like that. Gutteral. Almost like and old boat motor that you could feel and hear the rumble from 30ft away
51:45 thank you for saying this. When I became a West Virginian almost 30 years ago it was by choice for all the reasons you mention but especially the people. It doesn’t matter if you’re having dinner at a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ restaurant or stop at a small gas station in the middle of nowhere, by and large the people are very kind. There’s just an incredible positive energy in the state. This energy is maintained through an ancient, Central European, Christo-Pagan ceremony held every spring. At the end of the day long event an effigy of Winter, in the form of a sculpture of an old man hanged by his neck, is solemnly paraded down the singular street (lit only by candlelight) to its end and is thrown into a massive fire as the as the celebrants dance and sing and play large drums. There are old beings here. Incalculably old. It makes sense- the Appalachian mountains are the oldest in the world. And at one point were larger than the Himalayas are today. Here’s an illustration of how old they are: the mountain tops we have today are sections of the valleys we had hundreds of millions of years ago. Those beings are super-ancient. They’ve been here the whole time. They’ve seen all of it. And when they let you see them, there’s a reason. You’ll only see them, if you see them at all, a couple days before the ceremony. During this time people will carry bags of copper shavings or copper BBs everywhere they go, especially at night. If confronted by an old one, you can open the bag and swing it toward them, causing the shavings or BBs to arc toward them. They’ll stop where they are and have to pick them all up and put them in the bag they were in. Now you’ve got plenty of time to run. But don’t go back that way. This time there will be two. One to pick up the copper bits and one who will be picking bits of you out its gaping maw. Hope to see you real soon!
You never forget the most traumatic event of your life. Mine was 10 years old rolled over in bed and looking in my window is a 9 foot tall Sasquatch. The Ozarks have lots of sightings. It's not good when children learn monsters exist.
Live in northern Pa.Seen things and heard things here also. Lifelong resident. Seen a deer hauled up a tree 30 ft. in the air,Found piles of bones over the years.
@@timmyshore3755 Thanks for the reply and stating the obvious :-) I didn’t say anything about proof, but it does add to the content above and support strange happenings. When you hear things in the woods that you have never heard it makes you think about what may be on the other end of that noise in the woods. Or what might be flanking you in the laurel but not showing itself.. just saying odd noises and behavior. Proof? no, I already know the truth. Cheers
The area of Tater Knobb fire tower in the Daniel Boone National Forest where I had a experience as a kid is now off limits under penalty of the law. The whole forest open except that one little 4 acre area.
In this video at the beginning,time(3:05-3:08)there is a cloaking sasquatches , move up the trunk of the tree in the center of the screen,untill you spot his face, ther rest of this body will be more visiable. The branches are in front of him camouflageing him to the tree bark . .Also at time(3:10-3:16) center screen and right of the tree trunk there is a other sqsauatch ,he moves behind the tree to hide from the camera panning the forest. You can see him move, its quick.. watch a few tim s !! Check it out and let me know what you think! Love your videos😊😊 tamara from maine 😊
The first thing I establish when investigating a new area .. is to let them know that I know they are there. Things can get pretty sporty after that. Til they know you know ... they wont normally break the barrier of acknowledgement between our species.
in NC I was out with my pappy hiking and one time he got real quiet and I turned around and his eyes were as big as Aunt Bessies dinner plates, I looked but didn't see anything...all my pappy could say was...'I saw what I saw' and I said what..what?! he then told me he saw the mountain man...bigfoot, and he kept repeating 'I saw what I saw'. Crazy!
That was terrifiying Dee I am so glad you are safe. The worst creatures we can encounter in the woods are not cryptids or the paranormal but humans with malicious intent. Please do what ever you can to stay safe, be personally armed in something you know how to use as it is easy for a person to take a wepon off you if you are not confident with it, take someone with you or at least a big dog and be careful what you wear as it can be easily seen if it is bright or a colour not normally seen in the surrounds you are in, camouflage and dark clothing would be better although this goes against wearing bright clothes to be seen if you get lost or injured and like others have said here try not to go alone and remember to take your inhaler as your coughing will give you away. Never panic stay in control of your emotions very hard to do I know but we'll worth practising. I don't mean to sound bossy but I am concerned for your safety as are others. Please be careful Dee we would all hate for anything bad happen to you. ❤
It's possible that what we hear in the woods may not always be what we think it is. We are collecting audio data for review because although we may hear owls or coyotes, coyotes typically wouldn't stay behind the house for hours. Owls typically won't walk through the woods in the same vicinity as a tree fall in the middle of the night. Our Ep. 004 confirms something large is in the area. Hoping to hear from folks hearing similar things. If you add up what is factually known about Bigfoot, it would likely be less than 1% of what there is still left to learn. So I think we shouldn't think about things we think we know, but things that seem unusual or even improbable to move the ball on the subject. Thank you.
We didn't discovered the Gorillaz teal 1847 no telling how long it has been around I believe we have no idea how much s*** is out there the discovery new animals every day pretty much have you ever seen a sea dragon I don't know exact name of this one but it's like like 150 colors translucent after I seen that all bets are off man it could be anything out there😮😅
They have found new races of people hiding out there does not stop never stops if you keep looking you going to keep finding it that's just all to it😅😊🎉
Definitely enjoyed this i raised my kids in WV ive heard the howl and talked to a few people that have ran into Bigfoot so i could totally relate to this episode! Wanted to mention not to long ago a lady was telling me about a big black i call it " hell hound " but she said bigger than a dog or wolf that ate her puppies and chickens? There are many areas in WV that are perfect hide outs for the unknown. We still have a place in Whitesville that is a dead coal town and they are building a new 4 wheeler trail through here i imagine a lot of new stories will come out of this trail as its so isolated
Who were Bigfoot's mother and father? Brothers and sisters. Such a childish story that adults I know are so ignorant that they believe them Yet anta Claus is not real. LOL! There is a ton of money to make on ignorance.
This is the most real talk about what goes on in W va and Sasqutch encounters that I ever have heard ! I lived n hunted fished and practically stayed in the woods I had my own encounters some exactly what this guy has seen so I know he is telling the truth ! if a average man told that he saw one n word got outside of his house he would lose all credibility in all his county n he would become the laughing stock of the county even though they know people in their family seen their own or knew of someone credible that seen one , the people would never forget
THIS! THIS is what STM needs _more_ of: people’s stories/accounts/experiences. Less lore and aimlessly walking in the woods.
💯 best interview I’ve seen on this channel! 🎉
Oh I want to do a Documentary about that land before I die! For sure!
Watch Sasquatch Theory! Miguel interviews some awesome folks.
Sasquatch Chronicles
How to hunt has the best sasquatch channel on the planet.
Hi I have to say that this is one of the best documentaries I have ever seen. The chilling story of the man who had the wife that was very ill really impressed me due to the fact that you could with his voice and breathing, that he is still affected by this. This is a very well done documentary, thank you to whomever suggested it from Bigfoot Society!

Great episode, honored to be included on another stm production. Best crew around.
This is one of the very best and most believable Bigfoot Documentories I have ever seen! Great work everybody!
The Spanish settlers were the first in the new world America 🌎
I saw them a couple times as a kid in Alaska. 1st was eating fish out of a small creek. All black. Flash of red in the eyes. We ran and so did it. But it got low. It used its long arms to pull itself under a fallen spruce. It climbed up the opposite embankment. It got up on 2 legs and started running. I stopped to get a look. He had a swimmers build. Broad shoulders that droop. He howled as ran away. 7ft-8ft tall. The 2nd was 4 years later up wolf lake trail. I went off trail at some open meadows toward Government Peak. I saw a brown and grey one walking toward me on the opposite side of a thin cluster of birch and aspens. When it saw me it sprinted to the trees and got low. It looked at me as it reached out and grabbed a tree, then slid out of sight. I heard the branches breaking as it circled behind me. I started moving toward home gingerly. I didn't run until I had some distance. I ran just past the next cluster of trees heading toward another cluster.I spotted him running ahead and watching me as I kept walking to an open spot between the trees. He darted into the trees headed towards me. He popped his had out and popped back in closer. I knew I had to beat him to the bottleneck. I ran a couple hundred yards to the trail. I was hot and tired. I knew if I stopped, I was going to be dinner. I ran for thee miles home past that spot in the creek where the previous one was years earlier. This put a permanent fear of the bush in me. The way they move keeps them hidden. City people laugh because they think they know everything. Forget them. Don't be afraid to tell your story.
Thanks for Your story! I was 1984 in the blue mountains in Australia 🇦🇺 and we could see huge footprints from a Yowie there. Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe! 😎👍🍀💪🐺
You think the Squatch was just curious about you?I was thinking if it wanted to eat you he could catch you pretty quickly!
@@michaellinkroum4803 I was thinking the same thing. As if it was playing peekaboo. No way a human is out running something that literally hop trees.
@@michaellinkroum4803perhaps initially curious but from a bunch of witness accounts, a lot of times they work up their nerve to attack.
@joshaklese4969 Washtelo. What's your Nation? You speak truth. I had an experience while visiting Lakota relations in NC.
Hoka He
Just being honest but this is your best episode in a long time 🔥
What I love are the stories! This is a great video!
This was really interesting. These documentaries are getting better and better!
Much better in the new format i love em
Documentaries. LOL! Time to get past kindergarten. LOL!
Greetings from Slovakia. My son heard uncanny high pitched yelping sounds in a wooded area not too far from where we live, and not recognizing them and feeling as if something was off, made a quick dash home, but not before seeing a large creature light brown and grey in colour moving quickly on 2 legs along the edge of the tree line. Some 2l days later I visited the same spot with him in the hope of finding any footprints or animal kill as he'd clearly been shook up by the incident.
It's a strange area as mountain lights and weird things have been seen there. To my amazement there were tracks to be found. While clearly not from a bigfoot but those of a wolf, (Dogman?) 10cm in diameter 18cm in length. Took a series of photos and was able to cast 2 of them. They're huge. Nearby were some torn off tree branches with a girth of about a man's thigh. Upon closer inspection there's a huge tree uprooted and leant between some branches. Strange thing is that this tree is upside down, something that couldn't be done without using a large crane. Took video and pictures of that also.
Some 3 years previously a 64 year old woman out picking berries with 3 friends disappeared in classic missing 411 style on a mountain close to the events of above, and was found dead 2 months later in a river some distance away wearing only shoes and socks.
Strange things do indeed abound out there. Am going to make further trips to this area this week (and beyond) so wish me luck.
Love this channel and am a long term subscriber.
Greetings from Praha, Vysehrad.................
Howdy friend ❤️🇺🇸💙
Be safe, let us know you made it back and what you found
Thank you for your comment. The Hairy man is everywhere it seems, which is logical. Be safe over there. Thanks
@foxoutfoxing -- Are you sure about the cms?? That isn't huge. These dogmen are roughly 7 feet tall and have prints measured as about 8inches wide and longer in the length. Would love to hear back.
This is the best sasquach video I have watched to date. Measured and analytical, without sensationlism.
Spent some time working a pipeline in WV, those hills are no joke. Operating heavy equipment we never had an encounter, but it's beautiful country.
For real.
Great documentary! I like hearing the stories from the people who live in the area. I traveled through WV a few years back and it is so rugged and beautiful. I have no doubt Bigfoot could live there undetected.
This channel wins hands down for believable bigfoot anecdotes 🏆

Another GRAND SLAM by Seth & the STM crew !! One day soon ,I can see STM getting many Oscars for BEST DOCUMENTARY!!
How about evidemce b4 we give an Oscar
@@georgeslupski5987 There is Evidence . However you are right there needs to be something ,a body,bones,etc.. But it does not take away the fact that the STM crew does a GREAT job on filmmaking . If you don’t like it ,don’t watch it . Stop being a hater.
I live in Summersville, WV. There have been many encounters/sightings in Nicholas and Braxton counties. I enjoyed this very much.
Yeah, I am in Braxton, hear these dad gone things alot.
Grew up in Summersville, WV. haven’t been back for 30 years. Always played in the woods, never saw anything. Currently live in the Pacific Northwest and still haven’t see anything, but I believe they exist.
I lived in Clay for 30 years.. None of us never saw anything. My family goes back 7 generations in central WV.
@@mikeandrews1899 Yes, we were there when it was still Virginia before it became WV in 1863.
George seems like the type of guy i could knock a couple of beers down and listen to his stories all day 👍🏾💯🇺🇲
Another brilliant episode from the guys at small town monsters, love getting the notification when the next bigfoot show is on, this one was another masterpiece, I love hearing people's encounters and you can tell there telling the truth as it seems when you have seen it once they don't really want to see it again, I couldn't imagine the fear it must put a person in...
I really don’t think these big boys are as rare as they seem to think.
Krista, you hit the nail on the head.
These encounters are basically anytown USA.
My father , when we were in the foot hills , of the Sierra mountains, dredging for gold , on the ; Rubicon River, my father pulled out his 30/30 and gave a few warning shots in the air , because one of these creatures , came rampaging down the mountain at us .I know what is was because their is nothing out their in the pitch dark , at night , coming down a mountain without a flashlite , and was no bear , walking on two legs.
I said! Are they here? Man they're real. Bought $600 of LED 90.2 flashlights 🔦. Yep lit 1 up. 8ft tall and 600 lbs. Heard a lot of sounds. In Massachusetts
My grandfather saw on two in the Sierra s near the town of strawberry
It is migration time.
@@jamesguralski5156 oh yeah were im from mass
@@jamesguralski5156 better yet you like mushrooms... lol got you
Me and my crew, while working for the Idaho DEQ had multiple encounters in the Bitterroot Wilderness. If you're ever unfortunate enough to experience these things, it'll change everything you ever thought was true and certain in your life. I do not wish it on anyone.
Can you please share details of the encounter and what they looked like?
@@nadir1378 there were four encounters and it would take too long to describe here. It did come into our camp at night and showed aggression tho only to our cookware. One of my crew mates saw it up close, about 20 yards. He said it looked like an extremely large and hairy man and that it was trying to hide. At first he thought it was a moose or a bear laying down. But when he saw its face, it drove him to want to quit. I'd never seen a person so shaken. The rest of us saw its tracks and we all hear it's scream/ howl. Keep in mind, it followed us for 3 days and nights. Like I said, it's a long story.
I don’t want to ever see a Sasquatch either.
Go on Sasquatch chronicles bro and tell ya story
Tell your encounters on Sasquatch Chronicles-that channel is probably the best one I've listened to. Wes Germer is respectful, patient, down to earth, and just an all around really nice guy. His show is highly respected.
STM crew -
Here's a fistbump on another well done show/story! I appreciated the fact the locals were so involved in this discussion. I have a daughter living near WVU and my other 2 adult kids live within mere miles of WV. I lived there myself for quite a few years couple decades ago...
I witnessed on 2 separate occasions a being/ creature that I saw up on a ridge south of Fairmont and I felt like it KNEW I saw it, that I was looking at it.
I felt fear, like I had seen an actual monster .
I feel like the stories shared here were honest and un-embelished...
I have never told my experiences to anyone until now...( the little bit I shared)
But I thank you for doing what you all do.. and west Virginia IS wild and wonderful....mixed with some wild and weird as well....I've listened to 1st hand accounts from folks there who have experienced some terrifying encounters there and as forested as WV is....its probably going to continue for some time.....
Kirsten ✌️ Minnesota
Thank you Kirsten you said it best, I tried to say pretty much same as you with me living in W va n my Ancestors too from pioneering days since it was Virginia, I feel like this episode resonates with those of us that know the truth
Man this guy's story and his reaction reminds of my experience here in Texas! Well done sir!
What part of Texas? I’m from South Texas on the Gulf Coast Corpus Christi to be exact.
@@angelgarza9114 North Texas up about 30 from the Red River.
My granddad was born and raised in Buchanan, WVA. When he was 13 or 14 yrs old he had to go to work in the coal mines. His boss had sent him and 3 other miners to a mine that had been shut down months before to retrieve some equipment that had been left there. He said they walked about 75 yards into the entrance and a white Bigfoot came out of the shadows and scared the daylights out of them. They dropped what they'd had in their hands and ran hellbent for leather back to their vehicle. He said it was 7 to 8 foot tall. This was in the mid 1930's. He joined the Army when he turned 16 and after serving until after WWII he moved to south Georgia. He met my grandmother, started his own well drilling business and moved his parents and his youngest siblings to Georgia. They had struggled to make ends meet all of his young life spent in WVA. My great granddad made and ran moonshine up until the time they moved. Granddad only talked about his encounter 3 or 4 times to me. I can't imagine having that experience myself and I hope I never do but there are more and more sightings of Bigfoot in Georgia now.
Thanks for sharing. That's an awesome experience. Totally cool that your granddad was willing to tell you about his experience.
No doubt he wanted his family to be aware of the strange things that could be a possible danger when you are out and about.
@@Mjg503 thank you!
My family has lived the next county over from Buckhannon, WVa, since the 1850s. Yes, there are clans of Bigfoot here and have been for generations. I have had ongoing experiences with them as have several folks in my family going back decades. I think when the weather gets cold in the late fall, they congregate in caves and old abandoned mining tunnels in remote areas where the laurel thickets cover the entries. They don't hibernate in winter but they roam around a lot less. Then they show back up in this area around the first week of April. They are actually quite neighborly but I'm sure there are other types that aren't so nice. Many folks back here know about them but don't share their interactions with outsiders. They don't want to open themselves up to being made fun of.
I'm guessing that they age just like everything else and turn gray/white when they're old. I've never seen one yet in WV, but I have seen three UFOs. Most people around here have seen something unexplainable in the woods that they don't like talking about due to public ridicule.
He must have seen an old one. I believe they go grey and white just like us when they're old. I live in WV and would like to see one someday, I have seen three UFOs though.
I come from just south of McDowell county, across into Virginia. Never in all my years growing up did I encounter anything in the woods and no one told any stories about these things. My Pop always said they only exist in the Pac NW. So oddly enough 30 years later I had an encounter in WA. Now I see reports all the time from back home in VA, even one near my hometown. I always wish my father was still alive to hear about them. He grew up in a holler himself and had all sorts of scary stories to tell us when we were kids. I think he would be surprised to know sasquatches are in the VA mountains too.
One of the things that strikes me when I hear these reports is that the population of these things has to be increasing. I live in central North Carolina just east of Raleigh. I have hunted all over this area. Have hunted all over southern virginia which is only fifty to sixty miles away. And the last couple of years in west virginia. I've never seen anything unusual. Yet I know someone personally just on the west side of Raleigh that has seen these things five or six times, one of which she said was probably ten to eleven feet tall. East of me there is a small town called Littleton and there have been eight or nine sightings in the area. Something is going on.
@@johngarnergarner6724 likely it's also people being more open about having sightings than was often the case in decades past. But yes, sightings seem to be on the rise from what I've seen too. Maybe they're bolder in some areas than others or over time, very likely we're coming into their territories more than we used to with human development spreading more and more into previously wild areas. Suburban sprawl and the like.
And where are the pics? U own a cellphone correct? Not trying to be a jerk but everyone has "an encounter" and nobody has evidence
@@georgeslupski5987even if they were out “researching” and wanting to see one, if something that big suddenly appeared most people would probably freeze in shock and disbelief. If I had a scary dog growling at me even from a distance I wouldn’t be thinking about a photo of it
@@georgeslupski5987 I had encounter in 86 with another person. No one carried cameras around like they do today, I was in shock, its surreal when you see one.
people get scared stiff
There is a guy in Danville Virginia who has said that back in the mid seventees he and a few freinds were riding dirtbikes in the deep woods.He stated that on many occasions they were confronted with a Bigfoot.He said they told their parents but were ignored.He stands by his stories to this day.
Chilling video clip of investigator Russ Jones in the woods, stalked by something big in the woods ! Investigation team encounters something lurking in the woods !
They are out there, me and a friend had a terrifying experience on a canoe trip in Texas back in the early 90's. Still affects me to this day, after that experience neither of us went camping in the woods since.
Was the bj good or bad. LOL! "Squeak like a pig" Ned Ready. LOL! Deliver us all from Tennessee. (TVA)
Gotta watch this again....they've detailed some awesome encounters....definitely film worthy
God bless you sir. I feel your pain. I’m so sorry you had that experience. I’ve seen something, not a Bigfoot, but in the sky… I couldn’t believe it either. I’ve always been a believer of things like Bigfoot, aliens, ghosts, etc. But actually experiencing them and realizing just how small and human you are in comparison to them, it was enough for me to just block it out for a while. We’re no match for these things, even with a gun. And I’m a gun owner, but I truly do believe in your experience.
One of the best videos of yours I've seen in a long time. Great work! 💙
Spent a few days in WV in 2017 as I was going from one job site to another. I came in thinking it was going to be all hillbillies and stills. There certainly seemed to be a couple of ramshackle, crossroads communities, but not like what my preconceptions had led me to think. I was awe struck by how beautiful the state was. I was "based" in Charleston, but I struck out a couple days just driving state highways and seeing what I could see. I didn't have any cryptid encounters, but I can certainly see how there could be a population of sasquatch in that state.
Very good program. My heart goes out to the gentleman with the wife who was ill. He exudes integrity. ❤ ❤❤ genuine
I admire thoughs who have told they're experience. I still haven't felt ok to tell my experience in 1989 in the forest across the street from our home in Georgia. It's just unbelievable and I know telling it, most wouldn't believe me anyhow. But over the years I've wondered how many locals and Indians have seen for themselves. Forsythe County Georgia in the late 80's still had Sasquatch. It was truly Terrifying.
From listening to others' accounts on Sasquatch Chronicles, many have said that just being able to tell their stories was a huge relief and healing. Tell your story, I think that it will help. You would be surprised how supportive the community is there and at How To Hunt (Steve Isdahl) channel also. You'd also be surprised how many would believe you as well.
I live in Georgia as well. As you know, there are many sighting here in our state. I hope you find it in yourself one day to share your experience. I know myself, as well as many others would not only believe you, but would feel privileged for you to share. Sharing would give you some relief...
Credit where it is due! The Sasquatch in the thumbnail is awesome and probably a great representation of what the face may actually look like.
Hi Guys , Marie from South Wales UK 🇬🇧
WOW......Another Awesome Episode worth Waiting for .Just Love going on your Adventures and talking to these people who have had Incredible Encounters. Stay Safe Out There 😲😲👣👣👣👣👣❤
West Virginny! Land where I was born. Another great film, Seth. I loved seeing the sights of my childhood. And the stories, of course. I’m looking forward to Part II.
One of the best interviews and real testimony you can hear
Mark's narrating is great, and it's great to see Seth is interviewing some witnesses again.
Alex and Eli's camping trips give a great insight into the various research locations and the terrain types, and they do make very good viewing.
But the truth is they are not quite as charismatic or personable in the way they present a video, the way that Seth is for example.
That's not intended as a criticism in any way- some people just have that attribute more than others.
Tbh none of the camping/research trips are quite so interesting as hearing the people's experiences.
Great episode, thank you guys. I do wish you could fit in a few more videos with Seth and Mark.
What a good report I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 there is a similar creature here called the yowie.the only time I’d heard of West Virginia is the John Denver’s song. But these people seem 110 percent honest to me there’s definitely something wandering the hills of West Virginia
West Virginia is a beautiful and rugged state. I grew up there in the 1960’s until 1992 and it was common knowledge of strange beings The Moth Man , The Braxton County monster, and Bigfoot. I have never seen Bigfoot but heard one while backpacking in the Cranberry Glades and saw the Braxton monster while driving back from Morgantown in early November 1985. There are places in some counties that have less than 10 people to the square mile and have not had regular visitors in 40 plus years. Keep up the good work this brought back many memories
Production quality is amazing
They are coming around , because they are just as curious as you are of them.
I'm from Ontario and don't know much about West Virginia. Looking at the satellite map it's clear why it would be prime bigfoot territory. The amount of hills as seen from above are endless. Amazing landscape.
Exceptional documentary! One of your best! Nice balance of great cinematography and credible interviews.
Great video... I enjoyed hearing from the people that live in the area being focused instead of two guys just visiting. Excellent reinforcement of journaling experiences. Well done Seth.
Thank you for this video!! I'm Native American and usually don't watch B.F. videos all the way through because they don't know what they're talking about!!!! I will say you did your research and I'm impressed!!! Thank you for sharing your work!!!
I just found this site and to say the very least, I'm extremely intrigued. I'm a big city (Los Angeles - San Fernando valley resident) so my surroundings are completely different & the only unusual things here are mostly just how different the many different cultures act & react to any given situation. I look forward to viewing the site again and hearing more accounts & sightings
Prepare yourself for grainy video & blurry pictures of things.
Another great video. But I have a question for you. What would you guys do if when your out scouting the area and you come up on one?
There aint no way they don't go out un prepared
I'm from the UK and will never see one but if these people have witnessed seeing one then who am I to disbelieve them. I do believe in them. Great documentary.
Tickle it's toes 😂😂😂
Beautiful documentary! I live in these same mountains- in western North Carolina. I absolutely loved hearing the personal stories from the people who live in West Virginia 🥰 Thanks so much for this!
My mother and father were from WV and we would go back to visit family all of the time during summer, my Granny lived up a holler in Wayne WV so it was surrounded by hills and as a kid you could always hear these Sasquatch yelling or calling one another, but we were so used to it because the couple hundred acres had been in my Granny’s family from ancestors down to her. We just didn’t really know what type of animal it was. Ok so now that I’ve given a background I’ll tell you how my mother and a finally saw two of these things out of the window of the kitchen in basically Granny’s backyard coming down from the hill, my mother had moved back down there to care for my granny, well there was a baby or juvenile, it was smaller and so I think it was probably the mom, they both had dark hair and were walking around bipedal looking for something, neither one of us could figure out WTH they were. We just kept watching them and both of us dumbfounded. We could clearly tell they weren’t black bears even though WV has hundreds of them. They didn’t have a muzzle like a bear and the fact that they were walking on their feet like humans just blew our mind. Not one time did Bigfoot cross our minds until actually just last year after watching these shows and listening to podcasts did it finally hit me what we saw. Now just a few years after my mother and I saw these, my husband and I had something roar or growl at us from across the little roadway when we were getting out of the car that scared me so bad I literally ran up across the bridge way into my granny’s house and didn’t even look back to see where my husband was 😂 it went right through my body and in my mind it sounded like a damn gorilla or monkey, and I seriously thought something had escaped from a zoo. 😂 neither one of us could figure out what it was and searched and searched different animal sounds and couldn’t find it anywhere until like I said we both actually started listening to all of these podcasts, heard those Sierra sounds, etc. We did not believe in Bigfoot and always laughed about it. As a kid I thought they lived in California and no way did they live anywhere else. My mother passed away in 2013 and we only go when I can to visit her grave along with the grandparents. Otherwise we just don’t visit and haven’t since before my mother died. I’m sure that these things still live there, but I definitely don’t want to go check it out after realizing what they were. Oh and I forgot to say that when that baby and the big one saw us looking at them it was almost like they disappeared in front of our eyes 😮 we both looked at each other and said where’d they go? 😂 from where we were standing the big one would have had to have been around 7 feet because I could tell from where they were in the yard and the little one was about 3-4 ft high. From the window to where they were was about 150 ft I’m so glad we honestly didn’t know WTH they were because I probably would have died from shock. Lol
Giving them a name makes them scarier ?
Wow that’s amazing!
Fascinating and fact.
I can't go into the details however, whilst I was serving with my unit in the British military, myself and a small team were were tasked with tracking an individual in the deep forests of Washington state.
We were expert trackers and we did find the individual .
All I can say is that it was something that we had never seen or come across before a female.
That individual was taken by helicopter to a non disclosed location.
Black helicopter no markings.
We then flew back to our base in the UK.

These things are literally everywhere. I lived in Valdese NC in late 89 early 90 at the bottom of a mountain right next to I-40. These things would pace you in the woods. Break branches behind the house. Jump on and run across the roof. Beat on the walls. Went on for months until we moved. Never really felt threatened. They just didn't mind letting us know they were there.
Having seen one of these creatures, the absolute hardest thing to convey, is the sheer size. You can’t fathom it, unless you see it…the absolute mass, the body mass of these things is something that is impossible to get across in a description. It just is.
I was told by a witness who saw one in profile that it's torso was as thick as a bodybuilder wearing a backpack.
Very well done, I enjoyed this.
I live in the mountains of southwest Virginia, one of the old words the ol timy people used was the word that daniel boone use when he said he had killed one of these bigfoots, he called it a yahoo , i have heard some of the old mountain people say when talking about someone, that yahoo over at dads house, or some yahoo came by and tried to sell his dog, . I didn't know where that word came from until i heard it used by Daniel Boone who said one of his regrets was killing one of those Yahoo's
My experience with the word yahoo , among people in that region, particularly old timey language that gets passed along - is to refer to a wayward, misbehaving, a little crazy type person, but a person. Not a Sasquatch.
This is the kind of video content I love! Sure, the field investigating trips are good too, but give me interviews with witnesses, historians, and retellings of old accounts and newspaper articles. It's important these old encounters get brought into the modern media so as not to be lost to time.
Best episode of STM ever and there have been lots of great episodes!
Looking forward to Part II
Thanks for uploading..great content
Great docu-film and can't wait to see the followup in July💪💪💪
Excellent documentary. It is hard for me to stay focused on one thing when watching videos. But you guys always keep my attention. With big eyes and anticipation. I'm in the PNW (33tears) but i grew up in the South. I have to say @20:00 this man's recollections of his experiences had me on the edge of my seat. When you talked about if you roll down the hills in your county, I laughed so hard. I grew up in the woods in the South.
In the winter, it stays very green in the PNW. Not so much in the woods back home. Very different.
Of all the stories that I've heard, what I hear, is they choose you... THE FEAR of the folks that experience it but choose to track it, is the proof to me. It lures you.
Keep searching. If possible please refrain from killing them. I saw a vidro from 8 years ago (different channel) the guy said he killed one and left it. he said he had remorse but will kill one again. To me, that's not remorse. You can't call something to be "like a man," then contemplate murdering it. Trapping, getting video proof, fingerprint analysis, hair samples, some type of DNA, then, you will have proof.
(I hope to meet you guys next time you are in the PNW. I'm hooked! @smalltownmonters )
This is great work. Insightful and atmospheric. Whenever i see film of the forests of WV i just want to get lost in them. 🙏👍✌️
Another fine STM production
Awesome can’t wait ❤
Great stories! I've done drawings on my channel of several of the Bigfoot tribes that live in that area!
@@timmyshore3755 LOL for Warner Bros?
Each first hand account, no matter how intense, gets us believers one step closer to piecing together this puzzle. Someday, mankind will be able to complete the puzzle and get the complete picture.
A sasquatch said he saw me in the woods the other day but no one believed him.
Excellent episode can’t wait for episode 2.
I have been hooked ever since I found this channel!! ❤
My buddy and I heard an unexplainable growl that came from above us on the Spring Cave trail in Colorado. It came from above us on short cliff that had a very dense shrub oak border. Only 1 0f 3 possible things could have made it. Mountain Lion, Black Bear or Bigfoot. After walking the rest of the trail back to back with a loaded pistol and got home. There were no recorded sounds of Bear or Lion that mimicked this growl. The closest I have come is in one of Todd Standings videos. There was a growl like that. Gutteral. Almost like and old boat motor that you could feel and hear the rumble from 30ft away
@q22 that's pretty much every state now
51:45 thank you for saying this.
When I became a West Virginian almost 30 years ago it was by choice for all the reasons you mention but especially the people. It doesn’t matter if you’re having dinner at a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ restaurant or stop at a small gas station in the middle of nowhere, by and large the people are very kind.
There’s just an incredible positive energy in the state. This energy is maintained through an ancient, Central European, Christo-Pagan ceremony held every spring. At the end of the day long event an effigy of Winter, in the form of a sculpture of an old man hanged by his neck, is solemnly paraded down the singular street (lit only by candlelight) to its end and is thrown into a massive fire as the as the celebrants dance and sing and play large drums.
There are old beings here. Incalculably old. It makes sense- the Appalachian mountains are the oldest in the world. And at one point were larger than the Himalayas are today. Here’s an illustration of how old they are: the mountain tops we have today are sections of the valleys we had hundreds of millions of years ago. Those beings are super-ancient. They’ve been here the whole time. They’ve seen all of it. And when they let you see them, there’s a reason. You’ll only see them, if you see them at all, a couple days before the ceremony.
During this time people will carry bags of copper shavings or copper BBs everywhere they go, especially at night. If confronted by an old one, you can open the bag and swing it toward them, causing the shavings or BBs to arc toward them. They’ll stop where they are and have to pick them all up and put them in the bag they were in. Now you’ve got plenty of time to run. But don’t go back that way. This time there will be two. One to pick up the copper bits and one who will be picking bits of you out its gaping maw.
Hope to see you real soon!
Honestly I'm a hillbilly who loves to fish and hunt here in central WV and I've never seen a Bigfoot but I really want to though.
You never forget the most traumatic event of your life. Mine was 10 years old rolled over in bed and looking in my window is a 9 foot tall Sasquatch. The Ozarks have lots of sightings. It's not good when children learn monsters exist.
Live in northern Pa.Seen things and heard things here also. Lifelong resident. Seen a deer hauled up a tree 30 ft. in the air,Found piles of bones over the years.
I have had some unnerving experiences on the wv/va boarder. Got some audio as well.
What part of WV?

@@timmyshore3755 Thanks for the reply and stating the obvious :-)
I didn’t say anything about proof, but it does add to the content above and support strange happenings. When you hear things in the woods that you have never heard it makes you think about what may be on the other end of that noise in the woods. Or
what might be flanking you in
the laurel but not showing itself.. just saying odd noises and behavior. Proof? no, I already
know the truth. Cheers
These creatures can turn into spirit form, that's why none are found dead...and none are killed...
The area of Tater Knobb fire tower in the Daniel Boone National Forest where I had a experience as a kid is now off limits under penalty of the law. The whole forest open except that one little 4 acre area.
Up here in ; Lake placid ; Ny.They are here.
Take pictures then!
22:53 wow... that is an awesome account from a very intelligent man that knows what he's talking about.
Welcome to the club of no return! Once you know, you know. Scariest thing 😨 ever
In this video at the beginning,time(3:05-3:08)there is a cloaking sasquatches , move up the trunk of the tree in the center of the screen,untill you spot his face, ther rest of this body will be more visiable. The branches are in front of him camouflageing him to the tree bark . .Also at time(3:10-3:16) center screen and right of the tree trunk there is a other sqsauatch ,he moves behind the tree to hide from the camera panning the forest. You can see him move, its quick.. watch a few tim s !! Check it out and let me know what you think! Love your videos😊😊 tamara from maine 😊
This is a great video....absolutely captivating...
Thank you for sharing
🏆🤗🙏🇺🇲
The first thing I establish when investigating a new area .. is to let them know that I know they are there. Things can get pretty sporty after that. Til they know you know ... they wont normally break the barrier of acknowledgement between our species.
One of my favorite episodes! 👍👍👍
Very good show, I love the encounters, researchers not so much. I live in WNC, many encounters here also.
Nice to see a neighbor here, I'm from WNC myself not far from Boone👋
@@kes9612 Not far from you, outside of Spruce pine!
I loved this documentary. Great job
The best story I've heard so far. Believable
So far. LOL! I have some very good snake oil for you. LOL! Cures cancer and erectile dysfunction. LOL! Any more foolishness?
in NC I was out with my pappy hiking and one time he got real quiet and I turned around and his eyes were as big as Aunt Bessies dinner plates, I looked but didn't see anything...all my pappy could say was...'I saw what I saw' and I said what..what?! he then told me he saw the mountain man...bigfoot, and he kept repeating 'I saw what I saw'. Crazy!
That was terrifiying Dee I am so glad you are safe. The worst creatures we can encounter in the woods are not cryptids or the paranormal but humans with malicious intent. Please do what ever you can to stay safe, be personally armed in something you know how to use as it is easy for a person to take a wepon off you if you are not confident with it, take someone with you or at least a big dog and be careful what you wear as it can be easily seen if it is bright or a colour not normally seen in the surrounds you are in, camouflage and dark clothing would be better although this goes against wearing bright clothes to be seen if you get lost or injured and like others have said here try not to go alone and remember to take your inhaler as your coughing will give you away. Never panic stay in control of your emotions very hard to do I know but we'll worth practising. I don't mean to sound bossy but I am concerned for your safety as are others. Please be careful Dee we would all hate for anything bad happen to you. ❤
Grabs popcorn 🍿 😅
Great Channel and Love the Content. I personally had an encounter years ago. I do believe.
McDowell County, west virginia? I live in kanawha county, charleston.
Oh my goodness can't wait
It's possible that what we hear in the woods may not always be what we think it is. We are collecting audio data for review because although we may hear owls or coyotes, coyotes typically wouldn't stay behind the house for hours. Owls typically won't walk through the woods in the same vicinity as a tree fall in the middle of the night. Our Ep. 004 confirms something large is in the area. Hoping to hear from folks hearing similar things. If you add up what is factually known about Bigfoot, it would likely be less than 1% of what there is still left to learn. So I think we shouldn't think about things we think we know, but things that seem unusual or even improbable to move the ball on the subject. Thank you.
We didn't discovered the Gorillaz teal 1847 no telling how long it has been around I believe we have no idea how much s*** is out there the discovery new animals every day pretty much have you ever seen a sea dragon I don't know exact name of this one but it's like like 150 colors translucent after I seen that all bets are off man it could be anything out there😮😅
They have found new races of people hiding out there does not stop never stops if you keep looking you going to keep finding it that's just all to it😅😊🎉
Good video. The question is how many people see things but have not spoken about it. ?
Another excellent video. Great job!!
Definitely enjoyed this i raised my kids in WV ive heard the howl and talked to a few people that have ran into Bigfoot so i could totally relate to this episode!
Wanted to mention not to long ago a lady was telling me about a big black i call it " hell hound " but she said bigger than a dog or wolf that ate her puppies and chickens? There are many areas in WV that are perfect hide outs for the unknown.
We still have a place in Whitesville that is a dead coal town and they are building a new 4 wheeler trail through here i imagine a lot of new stories will come out of this trail as its so isolated
Who were Bigfoot's mother and father? Brothers and sisters. Such a childish story that adults I know are so ignorant that they believe them Yet anta Claus is not real. LOL! There is a ton of money to make on ignorance.
This is the most real talk about what goes on in W va and Sasqutch encounters that I ever have heard ! I lived n hunted fished and practically stayed in the woods I had my own encounters some exactly what this guy has seen so I know he is telling the truth ! if a average man told that he saw one n word got outside of his house he would lose all credibility in all his county n he would become the laughing stock of the county even though they know people in their family seen their own or knew of someone credible that seen one , the people would never forget
Great Documentary guys!!!
It's called a mockumentary, because it mocks ignorant people and their silly beliefs.
Beautifully filmed and thought provoking - thank you STM Team 🐺🐾👍
