This is part of my heritage. I'm part Choctaw. Proud of it, too. We lived in Oregon on the edge of a forest. I rode a mustang horse I adopted in Nevada. He was afraid of nothing; we'd seen mountain lions in the desert and bears in the forest- no reaction. We were looking for a camping site on a long ride when he began to react to something. His eyes rolled, his muscles went tight- he was terrified. I looked around, trying my best to see what was scaring him. I didn't see whatever it was. A LARGE rock sailed past my head- now I was scared. I still thought it was high school jerks, but quickly changed my mind when the sound of a large tree branch broke the silence. Then I noticed there was no sound- that branch sounded like it was being torn off the tree and it was sent sailing towards us. A stench that to this day filled the air and I turned my horse and we left at full speed. I didn't turn around- there WAS something pursuing us. Look, it wasn't a bear- bears don't throw rocks the size of cantaloupes or tree branches. Bears smell very different. I heard hoots and howls and what sounded like growls behind us. I NEVER went back. Months later, I talked to a Forest Ranger- he said simply, "so they've come down this far have they?" My blood ran cold- he knew what I was talking about. All he said was not to go back into that area and soon there was a bulletin on local news that the area had a "killer bear" and it would be handled. I didn't see it but I KNOW they're there.
Yeah, the ones in the eastern Oregon are a bit more moody than those in the cascade range. I've heard that the ones in the blue mountains are more vocal out of the three bigger groups in Oregon.
@@tman3778 I think the ones in Vancouver are the biggest and most dangerous and like Steve says they don’t want to play marbles with you..I sincerely hope I never run into them
I know a young Native American man who pastors a church in Talihina OK, on the Choctaw reservation. I was visiting there one weekend and asked him about Bigfoot in the area. His response was, "Wayne, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone around here who has not either seen one, or knows someone who has seen one." He was quite serious.
Substance abuse is extremely common on reservations - I'm sure they've seen UFOs, chupacabras, lizard people, visited hollow Earth and seen a couple of elder gods to boot.
@@primesspct2 It’s best to seek out tribal elders of individual tribes to get an accurate portrayal of their oral traditions as not everyone knows or even understands the meaning and context of them and many tribes traditions and mythologies have been appropriated by various persons to promote various agendas and aren’t necessarily accurate or even real. You might encounter “Kushtaka” of the Tlingit as an example of Bigfoot when in reality “Kóoshda Kaa” as it’s actually called is more or less a shapeshifting otter spirit used by our shamans.

Then there is “skookum” from Chinook Jargon which translates to “strong/ powerful” and is used to describe everything from mountains, rivers, bears, to individual people.

Semper Fi Brother, I am mixed Eastern Band Cherokee and an enroller member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw and Scotts Irish. I have heard this story before from my papaw. I have had an experience night hunting coyotes. I did multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as an Infantry Rifleman, so I have some issues with sleep at night so I spend alot of nights running the woods and hunting at night. I have run into black bear, bobcats, mountain lions, but this night I was up on a hill over looking a field that hadn't been planted yet, still to early of spring to plant that field butts up s thick woods with a creek that ran through it. I did some rabbit cries calls and started scanning the tree line with the red light on top of my rifle scope looking for eyes to pop up in the tree line. This night I just heard what sounded like trees getting broke over not just branches breaking but actual trees pushed over it was getting closer and I was expecting to see a pregnant doe to pop out of the tree line but what I saw as as I scanned back down that tree line was huge shoulders and moving quick my scope was just full of a big dark furry things and moving fast. I was in shock trying to understand what I was seeing. I knew immediately it was no bear because the muscle tone was to clear and to human like to second guess. Before he took off back into the tree line I was saw these huge shoulders through my scope and I remember his shoulders were just over top of this knot on a tree so I could go back to measure for reference. I went back the next morning trying to make sense of what I saw and this things shoulders were at least 94 inches. 7 foot 10 inches. I know what I saw, and let me tell you, I used to night hunt or fish every night alone and not think a thing about it. Since this happened I have been out night hunting but twice and both those were with a group of at 5 or 6 Buddies with us. I don't tell many people be I am known to be pretty good in the woods and I help people teach wounded deer or help guide deer hunts and don't want to ruin my reputation as a hunter and tracker. But I know what I saw and I wish I would not have
Here’s an idea for a video: the Giants of Lovelock Cave. Stories tell of local Native Americans going to war against a race of vicious cannibalistic giants that lived in nearby caves. This would be a perfect video on your channel, bro!
@@Gruntvc ...That would be the Nephilim-Human hybrids. Like the one killed and recovered in Afghanistan. The Rephaim, far more human than alien (angel).
Choctaw army vet here from Haskell county, stones throw away from leflore county line. We have many bigfoot tales and signs here in Oklahoma, especially up in the Ouachita mountains and Kiamichi, in a town called Talihina. Thats the halfway point of our nation. Ive seen some things in the Talimena area..
Thank you guys for the replies, I've been thinking about sending them in. It isn't necessarily about "war" but they are primarily about camping. I even have a story about my own backyard! I live on several acres by the lake, surrounded by dense woods and hills.
My Great Great Grandmother was a full blooded Choctaw. When I was about 6 years old she spoke of this but I can't remember what she called it. She knew the English language but would speak broken English. She told that her older sister by 17 years lost 2 of her children to this Big Hairy Man as she called it. She would speak of her lost family from time to time. I just wish I could speak with her today to dig into her story.
I'm Cado, My Mammaw told me they would SA women and if they had a baby from that it didn't want to talk, and when it was 6 or7 it would run off..... I don't know if that meant it died or was killed or "they" took it! My Mamaw was the Medicine woman for the area and heard most to all of what happened within 10 miles of us, so I believed her!
VNV67 my guy this took place in the 1800 no way ur grandma’s sister lived in the 1800’s unless she is gifted with magic or she is still alive and 200 years old. Stop making stuff up for fame
@@LolAmith It says my great grandmother and should have been great great grandmother. So you may now stop with you comments. And I am 77 years old so you do the math if your pea brain is capable of such a task.
My grandfather Walter Amos,full blood choctaw and WW2 vet,raised me most of my life in McAlester Oklahoma where i still live, he passed away two years ago,he was 96...my middle name is in choctaw its "Akallo Poloma" it translates to "strong bow" pronounced (Uh-cool-luh Puh-loma) proud of my chata heritage and my name,i will give my children choctaw names when i have them one day...also loved the video and thank you for showing natives the spotlight
There’s a drink called Strongbow, cider, it’ll give you headaches. Bigfoot? Big load of bollocks more like. Them injuns been smokin too much wacky baccy and eatin too many magic mushrooms.
I am of Cherokee descent and spent time with a Choctaw elder when growing up. This story is of a war with the Gugwe not the Shampe as the Choctaw called the Bigfoot. The story correctly told is the evil Gugwe which means face eater had attacked the Choctaw and they found a slaughter field just like here, but couldn't defeat the Gugwe. So their elders told the younger warriors to kill a Shampe and bring it's body to the slaughter ground of the Gugwe. The warriors were able to do this and were chased by the Shampe until they reached the slaughter ground they dropped the body and the Shampe and Gugwe fought and the Shampe defeated the Gugwe. They did this because they said the Shampe kept them safe from the Gugwe in times past. So they provoked the Shampe into a battle with the Gugwe and achieved success.
Knowing how folklore works, the facts that there are no accounts of anything remotely this traumatic to the Choctaw community in the mid-19th Century, and nothing to suggest that Joshua LeFlore died in any kind of combat, let alone against cryptids, is not a problem for me. Folklore often happened "a few generations ago" and has a habit of latching onto famous members of the community some time after the last people who might actually remember those people have died. I suspect that if this actually occurred at all, it was probably in Mississippi, and involved completely different people, and weapons. Your story tends to dear that out.
Very strategic way of handling a very dangerous problem. I live in North Alabama and I wondered if they had stories of seeing these type creatures before moving to the west?
Yes exactly. Bigfoot is a good being. He is a protector of the land. He is good to who are good and "bad" to those who are bad. Bigfoot is to be respected.
I knew there was something off when the narrator said they had sharp teeth like a predator, also the story you told was very similar to the story of the 'siege of lockette ranch" but that was bigfoot vs dogman.
My grandfather was born, in 1897 on the Choctaw Nation Indian territory. He told me this story around the time the Patterson- Gimbal film came out. I was raised in the Pacific Northwest, graduating high school and college with a Forestry Major and Geology Minor. Ask anyone who spent a lot of time in the woods about 75% will have a story to tell about tree knocks, whistles, howls, and the stence. If they trust you, they will relate their experience. Although, the actual percentage is much higher. Most of these don't like to think about it, much less talk about it. They are real and extremely elusive.
I'm a member of the Chickasaw tribe but I'm also part Choctaw on my father's side. The two tribes are pretty close to each other in Oklahoma. It's great to hear these stories.
then I can't be the only one who had an issue with european colonialists being blamed for the near extinction of your people instead of americans , he kept talking abt european soldiers and european weapons instead of "american" colonialists, yes ik americans are pretty much immigrant british people but at the time they were more or less their own people not europeans
Hello from Ireland to my Choctaw friends and brothers.We in Ireland still remember your nation's kind help in our time of need when we suffered in 1847 or Black 47 during the potato famine, when you sent donations to buy food even though you yourselves were suffering on the trail of tears.If I had it my way the Choctaw nation would be granted Irish citizenship for this help, as we both know suffering. Unfortunately,we can't help you on this one, as we don't have any legends of Big Foot [Feet?] here in Ireland.Banshees, Water Spirits[Kelpies], Ghosts, Leprechauns, the odd large Black Dog, and the "Quare Fellah"[The devil] show up once in a while, but nothing like big foot. Chi pisa la chiq
I’m from Talihina. We’re over the mountain from poteau. My mom lives in Tuskahoma (pushmataha county) about 5 miles from The Choctaw Museum (the real capitol). I heard of these stories all my life and I’m a believer. I’ve experienced some unexplained phenomenons in the Honobia mountains (south of talihina) myself. A bigfoot festival is held there every year. Something or things are in them hills. Some relatives of mine have a story, years ago a little girl was in her room at night. She screamed in terror, her father ran in and asked what was wrong. She said somebody was looking in my window so he said draw me a picture of what that somebody looked like. He looked at the picture and grab his gun, he went outside. He shot it, the next day he went to where he shot but it was gone. A trucker was driving that night and he locked up his brakes, he said he seen two creatures (Bigfoots) carrying one that looked dead across the road. That turned out to be the one the father had shot.
Your daughter is scared of a potential danger looking through her window and you have her draw a picture first? "Babygirl, we might be in danger, but go ahead and take 10 minutes to draw a picture. I'm gonna strip down and clean my gun while you do that."
@@ryanhummel7714 not my story or my daughter dumb nuts. Literally says years ago. The story took place in like the 80s maybe later, maybe sooner. If you had any sense you’d know that a story can change through the years with different people telling it unless it’s written down. I’m just telling it how it was told to me. Keyboard warriors will always have something to say. Smh. 🤡
My BFF from 1st grade to HS graduation, was half Cherokee. She spent every summer and major holidays with her Dad in NC. She was extremely proud of her heritage. She always told me that her Dad and other family members, would warn her about where she walked, especially around dusk. She was adamant of "something the elders warned about but wouldn't discuss ". She unfortunately passed away following graduation. I am almost 70 yo and still remember her stories after her time with the Cherokee. May she rest quietly and greet me with happiness and tears of joy.
Absolutely chilling. I watch both, but I'll be honest, i prefer Wartime Stories over Bedtime stories. Your delivery is both impersonal yet very immersive and emotionally-rousing.
Actually, in 1846 an ancestor of a friend of mine in Southern California testified in an affidavit stating that he had encountered a female Sasquatch who wandered into his farm yard, went to the well and got herself a drink, and just sat for a bit before leaving. These Bigfoot are referred to in sixty different native American languages. Now I live in the Pacific Northwest and yes, they've been here longer than that the local First Nation people can remember.
They may have been there, even untill quite recently but I'd guess they were reduced to mostly small inbred bands by 1900 at the latest. Most likely all died by now.
@@eliasdskill5008 I agree it's unlikely but most of that country isn't terribly accessible. If illegal growers can hide out there without the tourists impacting them much a small number of small groups may still do so too. Unfortunately they were probably pushed to the margins even out there when modern humans came in and I mean native Americans, 15,000 or more years ago. There range and numbers could only have reduced since. Whatever might be left running around to find (IF anything) is going to be the Bigfoot equivalent of Deliverance.
Im Navajo and one time i heard a story from an old Salish man he told me a long time ago That his tribe get into a war with Stone Giants They were men not animals that covered themselves in clay that clay would harden so no arrow or spear would penetrate their skin They were Cannibalistic and killing people The old salish told me they had to burn the forest down to kill those things
Makes me think of the Man-Eating giants/big foot of Lovelock Cave. They were massive, red-headed, viciously warlike, monsters that preyed upon the tribes and peoples of the area. After suffering under their constant murderous raids, the tribe(s) put together a huge war-party and pursued the monsters to this cave where the giants incorrectly thought they could evade and hide inside the cave long enough until the war-party would just give up and leave. Instead, the fed-up warriors blockaded the entrance so that there would be no chance of the monsters escaping, stacked large amounts of burnable fuel that would create massive amounts of thick smoke around the former entrance. Upon lighting this they sat down and waited as they listened to the monstrous wheezing and coughing from inside loudly begin, and patiently they kept their vigils until the last horrible gasp for air turned into a death rattle that signaled their reign of terror finally coming to its end.
I still don’t believe these stories. Not a single bone. If natives took down giants or big foot the bones would be an absolute treasure to them. Which then would have most likely been stolen by settlers, which then would have ended up in a museum. I just don’t believe it.
I know of a story that is similar in theme, and occurred not too long ago. The town of Portlock, Alaska was abandoned in 1950 or 1951 after the residents came under attack by something similar to Bigfoot/Sasquatch. I forget the local name for it. The record for the town's existence and abandonment is pretty good - you can see the site of the town on Google Maps in satellite images, the USPS had a post office there that they closed after everybody left, etc. People who have gone back to check things out also report seeing things moving in the tree line. Surprisingly, there's no record of any government investigation. This was the 1950s, you'd think the US government or at least an Alaska state agency would have wondered why the population of an entire town suddenly decided to move.
I’m a member of the Choctaw and we have a ton of stories like this one of my favorite is the story of the story of the Nalusa Falaya it is a shadow monster that lurks at the edge of the light and depending on who is telling the story it either takes you away or it would poses you and make you do evil things
I have just heard this story at this moment, and suddenly I feel both unsettled understood about the suspicious feeling I get whenever my pets stare at a shadowed corner for longer than they should.
@@TimeCircleBlue I know how you feel my grandma told me this story when I was little it took me longer than I’d like to admit to go into a dark room or out in the dark lol
Actually I want to know more about this one. Mainly because of certain events my family experiences as farmers. Since then it seems the family has gone mad if they hadn't been already
@@honorableundead2273 hello I’m not one of the tribal story tellers, so I don’t know much more than what my grandma would tell me, what I do know is that it is described as a humanoid with the head of a coyote, it has glowing yellow eyes, it is usually described as being darker than the darkness around it and is usually found in the darkest part of the forest, just at the edge of the light waiting for someone foolish enough to wonder away from the safety of the light, it will also lure people away into the darkness by mimicking, the sound of a crying child, it’s voice is described as a whisper.
I grew up around the mowah-choctaw back in alabama, i even asked about this once. Wish i could say something cool, but the old lady responsible for telling us choctaw stories just laughed patted my head and sent me on my way
I would unfortunately advise rather than asking, knowing or experienceing. Those who don't know will never be told. Then instead of directly talking about it, beat around the bush. It's how I talk about any secret topics on various reservations. If they don't have the right medicine or experience with a certain people then they aren't to be trusted. Nobody who truly knows wants the unworthy to hijack and steal power. I get the most details that way but it's less exciting and feels more like I'm counting cards in Black Jack. Just kind of how it always goes on this continent. 😉 ...It's important to remember that indigenous peoples of Oklahoma more than likely are there because of American foreign/domestic policies such as The Trail of Tears and other forced relocation strategies. The people living here for 200 or so years may very well be as clueless as the European settlers in such a case. European religion and culture are more similar in such cases than most would realize. Often times it's Christians who say to never bring up the name of certain demons so as not to pro/invoke them. Many times this is the case with 'cryptids' and other super natural types of creatures in North American religion and lore. So even if you're allowed 'inside' it still may not be discussed for safety/superstition. That's the concept this creator missed out on explaining how much of history is lost. There is lost history. Some things though, we just don't talk about.
@@sneakyviewing4391I am Indian from India ( himalayas. Yetis etc.) and we have many lost truths not being shared which is a problem because people are going missing in national parks missing 411 Indians.and native Americans aren't helping by keeping things to themselves .. it's effing frustrating
Of course that's the response you got. If there was any truth/stories it died off with the native genocide while the remaining indigenous were sent to reeducation camps. What we know for fact is the Smithsonian made it a habit to collect giant human skeletons in the 19th and 20th century.
Don't forget about those reeducation camps the indigenous had to attend after the G***cide. Also don't forget the Smithsonian was working overtime collecting large human bones in the 19th and 20th century.
I was at a Bigfoot museum somewhere in California, I think Santa Cruz, and the guy who owned the building told me and my family some stories visitors had told. One I that I remember (the only one I remember, as I was 8 or 9 at the time) was about Bigfoot eating one of their chickens. The person the story came from said they had gone to check on their chickens in the morning. (checking the food, collecting eggs, etc.) When they got into the coop, they had found the skeleton of one of the chickens picked clean, and all the feathers were neatly laid out forming a circle around the skeleton. Apparently all the other chickens were just sitting there, frozen, staring at the skeleton. I don’t remember if the door to the coop had signs of a break in or anything, and there may be some other details I forgot (it was 6-7 years ago), but that’s the gist of it. Edit: I have a feeling someone is gonna ask this, but the contents of the museum was mostly just plaster track molds, and some statues. I think it was mostly just a gift shop and a little stop just for fun. Edit 2: just went on google earth. It’s called the Bigfoot Discovery Museum, and is not mostly a gift shop. Mostly just plaster molds, statues, newspaper articles, and skulls.
weird af. just watched a finding bigfoot episode where a guy said he killed a snake and buried it, and the next morning it was dug up and stretched out pointing at his door.
i grew up in the choctaw nation in oklahoma, and had many friends who were apart of choctaw families and such and i remember one of them at a family dinner started to tell how they have encountered a reak big foot in their backyard said how he saw it stalking him or something. Bigfoot is very popular in the 3 towns i grew up in and bigfoot was a major part of my life. Trying to hunt him with a .22 rifle at age 9 with my younger brother
I grew up in the Blue Ridge of VA where they were called 'wild people'. We were told as kids to stay away from them , that it was bad luck to shoot at one, and that they would seek revenge even many years later.

Love how your content can stay grounded while exploring this stuff - there’s so much we’ll never know past and present. The world is still very big…especially for an Aussie.

This account is reminiscent of the battles that the Paiute tribe in Nevada have had and passed down orally regarding fighting red headed giants. These giants would raid the Paiute settlements at night stealing anyone they could to cannibalize. After a lengthy period of fighting this conflict reached its culmination in Lovelock cave in Nevada. The Paiutes had chased the last of these giants into this cave and lit fires at the mouth of the cave to suffocate the giants. I can't imagine with all of the challenges to surviving day to day and then to have to deal with "Monsters" like this. These were definitely tough people.
I live in a town valled Greenwood, in Leflore County, MS Greenwood Leflore was my great great great grandfathers arch enemy. Lol Greenwood wanted the Choctaws to be more white, and Mushulatubee was the last full blood chief in MS at the time of removal.

Mushulartubbee led his people to Oklahoma on the trail of tears.

Imagine that... Hearing an old story I haven't heard in forever. My big granny was Choctaw, full blood. She told me this story when she still spoke English. But that was when I was about three years old. The last time she told me about it, she spoke in Choctaw. Still remember her telling me to keep my eyes open and not to follow the sounds in the woods. Wrong time for my first night trip into the woods with the big kids. Made it about a hundred yards. When I got scared, I had to run back to the porch by myself. Glad there was a full moon that night,lmao
Too bad this is a fictional story that was loosely based off the equally fictional movie of Bone Tomahawk. The story told in this video doesn't date back farther than 2015.
Bone Tomahawk, man was that movie brutal to watch. I bet the people behind the predator movie Prey got their idea from this story of bigfoot vs Choctaw. @@Eidolon1andOnly
On the west coast, in California in the northern bay area, the Pomo natives have a similar story about creatures known as "wallopers." The legends are real enough to this day that I don't know anyone who would go walking through those woods.
Bc it’s fiction. Even if some people did go missing, they were taken into slavery. Perhaps there’s some feral rapist cannibals, like the film the Hills have Eyes. I’d be more surprised if that never happened, given the amount of psychos and serial killers there are. Human cannibalism is a real thing, naturally in olden days without electricity and flashlights, things get exaggerated and embellished by Chinese whispers.
Well that took the air out of the story Good story though , But it doesn’t mean they don’t exist thanks for keeping it honest but if you ever do find out let us know thanks
I couldn't stop watching and listening, it was so riveting! My twin brother back in the 80's may have had a bigfoot encounter at an apartment complex in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He had gotten home from work and parked his car. As he exited his vehicle he was accosted by a horribly putrid stench coming from the vicinity of the dumpster, used by the apartment residents, and set back into a wooded area. He assumed it was rotten meat that had been tossed into the dumpster, when suddenly there was tremendous pounding from the woods behind the dumpster, that was so powerful that he described it like Clydesdale horses beating the ground in unison. In terror, he fled to the 3rd floor apartment he and his wife shared. He then called the police. They came out and scanned the woods with a spotlight but didn't see anything.
I watched the Roy videos again yesterday, today a new one, how nice! Edit: I love that you took the natives for this story, they had alot to tell and there are so few stories for the amount of (mysterious) history of the native americans. Edit 2: Get well soon with your voice

Do you realize that right across the state line from where this took place in Miller County, Arkansas is where the Fouke Monster (aka Boggy Creek Monster, aka Skunk Ape) had been reported for decades not just there but all over South Arkansas, North Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma and East Texas. Made into a popular docudrama in the 1970s called “The Legend of Boggy Creek.” I live in the region and have heard stories over the years. I’ve visited Fouke, AR twice and those people believe it. Musician Lyle Blackburn has done a lot of more recent research on the subject. The Choctaw also lived in northeast Louisiana and southeast Arkansas as well.
I am a native of NW Louisiana I have spent 64 years living 56 miles from Fouke and roaming these woods along the Red and Sabine rivers. Family was here for 200 years, I can tell you from experience these things exist.
@@intelex691 I live in northeast Louisiana not far from the Arkansas line east of the Quachita River. I have heard stories from various ordinary down to earth people first and second hand. I know, as few people do (because so many live in urban environments), just how much raw untamed wilderness there is that is rarely set foot on by man.
They are out there, my mothers family had seen them in the Sabine River basin near where toledo bend is now for hundreds of years. I saw 1 for the first time in the early 70s in NW La just a mile or so from the exact location near the Texas state line where the GCBRO claim to have shot and wounded 1 in Feb 2002
@@Jerry000g I don’t doubt you saw something. Nature is a bigger thing than we think it is. Wildlife $ Fisheries claim constantly there are no panther in Louisiana, but people see them all the time. You ever see the 1976 movie “Creature From Black Lake”? A fictional movie but based on the boggy creek monster. Low budget but very well done and spooky for atmosphere and cinematography. Filmed and takes place in Oil City and Caddo Lake. The producer and director is from Mansfield and Shreveport area. You can find a cleaned up HD version for free on youtube or just about any streaming service.
I've worked alongside a nunber of Choctaw people as an archaeologist and have met many Choctaw in my lifetime and career. They're good-hearted, friendly, and proud people who are strong in their cultural heritage and steadfast in their identity. They're a culture of people I personally, a guy of European American heritage, have learned a number of things from. I have the utmost respect for them as a First Nations people and want them to thrive. Videos like this are great.
This was in my opinion an absolute masterclass in story telling! The pacing, the voice acting, the music, and the visuals all culminated in what i think is your best video yet! Keep it up
Yaaaaaaay! So glad you have some help to lighten your workload! The artwork was amazing! I could tell it wasn't your work, (which is always spectacular!) but I was really impressed. Looking forward to seeing him bring the stories to life in the future! The writing for the story was equally stunning! Looks like you've got a great team going! Congrats! 🎉😊
I appreciate your diction, clear voice and excellent pronunciation!!! You have no idea how much more relaxing it is to listen/watch when there are no jarring mispronunciations, strange hesitations and uneven pacing!! This is wonderful!! New Subscriber!! Glad to be here!!
Filipinos and Native American share similar beliefs. I was born in a US Naval base in the Philippines , subic to be precise and grew up there and stationed many parts of Asia. I am half Filipino and white. O boy do I have many stories to share during my childhood and my time as a serviceman . Regarding witchcraft, aswang aka shape shifters /skin walkers, ghost etc.... now I am based in Dallas TX, chowtaw is 1 hour away from ME
Why don’t you get some actual real tangible physical evidence then? Smoke enough wacky baccy, take magic mushrooms and get drunk and you’ll see leprechauns riding flying pink unicorns.
After hearing many stories of men frantically fighting groups of bigfoot with their guns making hardly a dent, hearing that one guy just fkn ended one with a knife??? Dude had some BALLS. I know the bigfoot was already wounded but a wounded bigfoot is still a damn bigfoot 😅 I tip my cap to that guy. Fantastic video, by the way!!!!
Great video.Compelling to watch.Delightful artwork semi animated making it exquisite.I have heard of this account before. If I’m not mistaken this actually happened.Good to see the attempt at the end to tie up loose ends,and establish fact from fiction.Easy to watch and listen to so enjoyable almost addictive.
As an Archaeologist, I wish more people knew about the 1527 Narváez Expedition where lost and shipwrecked Spaniards landed in Florida and were taken as slaves. Only 4 men survived. Those of which were sold and resold and escaped as slaves, eventually walking almost the entire Gulf Coast region in order to make it to Mexico City. One of the best tales of American exploration, because they saw the continent as is, without massive destruction and depopulation yet from disease.
At the scene where the Choctaw discover the remains of their stolen relatives, I think you meant "gluttonous flies" (as in greedy and gorging themselves) rather than "glutinous flies" (which would be flies having a slimy, gloopy consistency). Just thought I should mention this. Great video! As always! I love these stories.
@@juliehealingleaf6211 Hey, you would be surprised at clueless some people out there are. Someone might genuinely watch this and start using "glutinous" instead of "gluttonous", and there is a distinct chance it would be someone whose mother-tongue is English as well. Teenagers these days hardly read, and many can hardly write.
It is possible that they could be both. Flies are gluttonous by nature, but if in the midst of feeding upon a large pile of rotting flesh and feces, they could also have that upon their bodies. Just a thought.
I was constantly checking my timeline to see if wartime stories had uploaded a video ? Mr Ballen, Bedtime Stories and Wartime stories are the best youtube channels.
I first read of this account in Lyle Blackburn's book Beyond Boggy Creek, which is worth buying for monster fans. I never did think I'd see it adapted to YT by you folks. It's a fine piece of work and I enjoyed seeing it.
Finally, another viewer that made the Fouke Monster connection. The Legend of Boggy Creek. I have been to Fouke twice and have Blackburn’s book and people have been seeing this animal for decades in North Louisiana, South Arkansas and East Texas and Louisiana. The wild wooded wilderness in this region is vast.
Just wanna say from a fellow Marine, your channel is awesome dude! It's really well produced and i can tell you really put a lot of passion into these videos, I love them. Rah!
Outstanding episode - edge of the seat storytelling and wonderful artwork, just as expected on Wartime Stories. Out of all cryptids, Bigfoot is easily the most plausible IMHO. I hope your recovery goes well - take things easy. I had dreadful fatigue after having Covid - wouldn't wish it on anyone.
My buddy lives in these mountains and has major issues with the Sabe people on the daily, they steal his bales of hay and do alot of other strange stuff. He's a veteran of war and is a no bs dude. These stories of these war are very much true and still happen present day
Awesome story telling . Not to mention the story illustration and voice changes to give the viewer a much better visualization of the story being told. Great job definitely see this channel getting more views and subs , it's well deserved to say the least
It's been a long time, and I'm a bit vague on details, but one time a guy pulled out a map of California. He looked for all the places on the map named after Sasquatch, mostly named because of sightings, encounters, and other "incidents", and plotted them. What he discovered amazed him. There was a line that followed the tops of the mountain ridges; that is, there was a _trail_ along the tops of the mountains that basically followed all the place names. IOW, Sasquatch tend to travel along the mountain tops. Not saying they aren't seen other places, just that they've been seen so much along the higher reaches, that places up there are _named_ after them.
Wow!! This was an amazing video!! Artwork and narration are 5 star! Luke and everyone at Wartime Stories work so hard and come up with incredible content!! Thank you again, this is absolutely great!!👍👍✊
I saw one not 40 miles from this location in the kiamichi mountains of pushmataha county. It was green eyed and not aggressive at all. It liked fruits, berries , deer corn and oats. The hair was not matted but groomed nice shiny black hair with blueish black skin. Flat wide nose with big wide lips. They were very nice and gifted me several thing as well as antlers. If you wondered too close they would snap branches in warning but never howled or got aggressive. It was an enlightening 3 months that I spent studying them. I will be back there soon to continue my research, I cant wait…
Like different species or types of wolves, I think there are different species of "bigfoots." The stories are oral history, not just legends. There are far too many historical stories for me not to believe it.
I used to have land in Leflore county Oklahoma. One night while I was camping I swear one ran right by my tent. The footsteps were very heavy sounding on the rock. There is no doubt in my mind it was something running on two legs. I always thought bigfoot may be out there, but after my experience I have no doubts whatsoever. It's not something you ever want to run into in the woods I'll tell you that much.
This was a great rendition of the encounters. Great voice. Made me subscribe. Thanks. You are so right the Artwork for this is amazing and chilling at times.
If bigfoots did/do exist it would make sense that there were/are different species that have different behaviours. Another great episode. Thank you sir🫡
This is part of my heritage. I'm part Choctaw. Proud of it, too. We lived in Oregon on the edge of a forest. I rode a mustang horse I adopted in Nevada. He was afraid of nothing; we'd seen mountain lions in the desert and bears in the forest- no reaction. We were looking for a camping site on a long ride when he began to react to something. His eyes rolled, his muscles went tight- he was terrified. I looked around, trying my best to see what was scaring him. I didn't see whatever it was. A LARGE rock sailed past my head- now I was scared. I still thought it was high school jerks, but quickly changed my mind when the sound of a large tree branch broke the silence. Then I noticed there was no sound- that branch sounded like it was being torn off the tree and it was sent sailing towards us. A stench that to this day filled the air and I turned my horse and we left at full speed. I didn't turn around- there WAS something pursuing us. Look, it wasn't a bear- bears don't throw rocks the size of cantaloupes or tree branches. Bears smell very different. I heard hoots and howls and what sounded like growls behind us. I NEVER went back. Months later, I talked to a Forest Ranger- he said simply, "so they've come down this far have they?" My blood ran cold- he knew what I was talking about. All he said was not to go back into that area and soon there was a bulletin on local news that the area had a "killer bear" and it would be handled. I didn't see it but I KNOW they're there.
What town in Oregon was this near?
Great story... sounds like a really good horse.
They are known for throwing everything from pebbles to boulders depending upon their mood..
Yeah, the ones in the eastern Oregon are a bit more moody than those in the cascade range. I've heard that the ones in the blue mountains are more vocal out of the three bigger groups in Oregon.
@@tman3778 I think the ones in Vancouver are the biggest and most dangerous and like Steve says they don’t want to play marbles with you..I sincerely hope I never run into them
I know a young Native American man who pastors a church in Talihina OK, on the Choctaw reservation. I was visiting there one weekend and asked him about Bigfoot in the area. His response was, "Wayne, you would be hard-pressed to find anyone around here who has not either seen one, or knows someone who has seen one." He was quite serious.
BC and alaska communities also have history dating back over a thousand years
Substance abuse is extremely common on reservations - I'm sure they've seen UFOs, chupacabras, lizard people, visited hollow Earth and seen a couple of elder gods to boot.
@@gordonmorris751 I would like to hear more of those. That would be very interesting.
@@primesspct2 It’s best to seek out tribal elders of individual tribes to get an accurate portrayal of their oral traditions as not everyone knows or even understands the meaning and context of them and many tribes traditions and mythologies have been appropriated by various persons to promote various agendas and aren’t necessarily accurate or even real.
You might encounter “Kushtaka” of the Tlingit as an example of Bigfoot when in reality “Kóoshda Kaa” as it’s actually called is more or less a shapeshifting otter spirit used by our shamans. There’s a bit more to the story than that but in a nut shell it’s a supernatural entity(s) that can take on the form of numerous things, including driftwood logs, which our shamans possess.
Then there’s the Gagit of the Haida which is not Bigfoot as bogfooters claim, a Gagit, so,e times described to be a wild like state is actually a psychological/ spiritual state of being that survivors of traumatic experiences like drowning or brain damage sometimes experience and who can recover from but sometimes sadly don’t, so basically it’s a way to describe psychosis or ptsd.
Then there is “skookum” from Chinook Jargon which translates to “strong/ powerful” and is used to describe everything from mountains, rivers, bears, to individual people. Basically it’s like saying they’re badass.
Some tribes do have legitimate traditions of what could be described as a Bigfoot like creature, others are open to broad interpretation, and some don’t have stories of Bigfoot at all, so back to my original point, if you want an accurate account of native stories it’s best to go to the source, tribal elders.

Semper Fi Brother, I am mixed Eastern Band Cherokee and an enroller member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw and Scotts Irish. I have heard this story before from my papaw. I have had an experience night hunting coyotes. I did multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan as an Infantry Rifleman, so I have some issues with sleep at night so I spend alot of nights running the woods and hunting at night. I have run into black bear, bobcats, mountain lions, but this night I was up on a hill over looking a field that hadn't been planted yet, still to early of spring to plant that field butts up s thick woods with a creek that ran through it. I did some rabbit cries calls and started scanning the tree line with the red light on top of my rifle scope looking for eyes to pop up in the tree line. This night I just heard what sounded like trees getting broke over not just branches breaking but actual trees pushed over it was getting closer and I was expecting to see a pregnant doe to pop out of the tree line but what I saw as as I scanned back down that tree line was huge shoulders and moving quick my scope was just full of a big dark furry things and moving fast. I was in shock trying to understand what I was seeing. I knew immediately it was no bear because the muscle tone was to clear and to human like to second guess. Before he took off back into the tree line I was saw these huge shoulders through my scope and I remember his shoulders were just over top of this knot on a tree so I could go back to measure for reference. I went back the next morning trying to make sense of what I saw and this things shoulders were at least 94 inches. 7 foot 10 inches. I know what I saw, and let me tell you, I used to night hunt or fish every night alone and not think a thing about it. Since this happened I have been out night hunting but twice and both those were with a group of at 5 or 6 Buddies with us. I don't tell many people be I am known to be pretty good in the woods and I help people teach wounded deer or help guide deer hunts and don't want to ruin my reputation as a hunter and tracker. But I know what I saw and I wish I would not have
Amazing. 🙏

Here’s an idea for a video: the Giants of Lovelock Cave. Stories tell of local Native Americans going to war against a race of vicious cannibalistic giants that lived in nearby caves. This would be a perfect video on your channel, bro!
That was just a bunch of Dutch people sheltering in a cave.
@@The_ZeroLine😂
It's weird growing up living in lovelock and reno and barely ever hearing this story lol even going to the caves it's not mentioned
"Cannibalistic giants" you say? Sounds like the stories of the Nephiliam. Interesting how many cultures have stories of these giants.
@@Gruntvc ...That would be the Nephilim-Human hybrids. Like the one killed and recovered in Afghanistan. The Rephaim, far more human than alien (angel).

We cut our hunting trips short if we see them, not for danger.. they just steal
Send them in!
Thank you guys for the replies, I've been thinking about sending them in. It isn't necessarily about "war" but they are primarily about camping. I even have a story about my own backyard! I live on several acres by the lake, surrounded by dense woods and hills.

My Great Great Grandmother was a full blooded Choctaw. When I was about 6 years old she spoke of this but I can't remember what she called it. She knew the English language but would speak broken English. She told that her older sister by 17 years lost 2 of her children to this Big Hairy Man as she called it. She would speak of her lost family from time to time.
I just wish I could speak with her today to dig into her story.
I'm Cado, My Mammaw told me they would SA women and if they had a baby from that it didn't want to talk, and when it was 6 or7 it would run off..... I don't know if that meant it died or was killed or "they" took it! My Mamaw was the Medicine woman for the area and heard most to all of what happened within 10 miles of us, so I believed her!

@YuckFouTube2 yeah this place is known as a speed trap 😅
Out here doing redneck ratchet shit at lake Murray?
Must have had stories to tell !.
I am of Cherokee descent and spent time with a Choctaw elder when growing up. This story is of a war with the Gugwe not the Shampe as the Choctaw called the Bigfoot. The story correctly told is the evil Gugwe which means face eater had attacked the Choctaw and they found a slaughter field just like here, but couldn't defeat the Gugwe. So their elders told the younger warriors to kill a Shampe and bring it's body to the slaughter ground of the Gugwe. The warriors were able to do this and were chased by the Shampe until they reached the slaughter ground they dropped the body and the Shampe and Gugwe fought and the Shampe defeated the Gugwe. They did this because they said the Shampe kept them safe from the Gugwe in times past. So they provoked the Shampe into a battle with the Gugwe and achieved success.
Knowing how folklore works, the facts that there are no accounts of anything remotely this traumatic to the Choctaw community in the mid-19th Century, and nothing to suggest that Joshua LeFlore died in any kind of combat, let alone against cryptids, is not a problem for me.
Folklore often happened "a few generations ago" and has a habit of latching onto famous members of the community some time after the last people who might actually remember those people have died.
I suspect that if this actually occurred at all, it was probably in Mississippi, and involved completely different people, and weapons. Your story tends to dear that out.
Very strategic way of handling a very dangerous problem. I live in North Alabama and I wondered if they had stories of seeing these type creatures before moving to the west?
Yes exactly. Bigfoot is a good being. He is a protector of the land. He is good to who are good and "bad" to those who are bad. Bigfoot is to be respected.
I knew there was something off when the narrator said they had sharp teeth like a predator, also the story you told was very similar to the story of the 'siege of lockette ranch" but that was bigfoot vs dogman.
Sure. They eat people.@@ContessaOrsini
My grandfather was born, in 1897 on the Choctaw Nation Indian territory. He told me this story around the time the Patterson- Gimbal film came out. I was raised in the Pacific Northwest, graduating high school and college with a Forestry Major and Geology Minor. Ask anyone who spent a lot of time in the woods about 75% will have a story to tell about tree knocks, whistles, howls, and the stence. If they trust you, they will relate their experience. Although, the actual percentage is much higher. Most of these don't like to think about it, much less talk about it. They are real and extremely elusive.
so what is your take on why they want to communicate with us?
They probably just want to scare humans out of their forests
Too many ads
How elusive can they be if 75% of those out in the woods allegedly experience them?
Smell like a microwaved diaper, but can never be tracked? I guess no one ever tried a dog?
I'm a member of the Chickasaw tribe but I'm also part Choctaw on my father's side. The two tribes are pretty close to each other in Oklahoma. It's great to hear these stories.

Hello from Ireland to my Choctaw friends and brothers.We in Ireland still remember your nation's kind help in our time of need when we suffered in 1847 or Black 47 during the potato famine, when you sent donations to buy food even though you yourselves were suffering on the trail of tears.If I had it my way the Choctaw nation would be granted Irish citizenship for this help, as we both know suffering. Unfortunately,we can't help you on this one, as we don't have any legends of Big Foot [Feet?] here in Ireland.Banshees, Water Spirits[Kelpies], Ghosts, Leprechauns, the odd large Black Dog, and the "Quare Fellah"[The devil] show up once in a while, but nothing like big foot.

I’m from Talihina. We’re over the mountain from poteau. My mom lives in Tuskahoma (pushmataha county) about 5 miles from The Choctaw Museum (the real capitol). I heard of these stories all my life and I’m a believer. I’ve experienced some unexplained phenomenons in the Honobia mountains (south of talihina) myself. A bigfoot festival is held there every year. Something or things are in them hills. Some relatives of mine have a story, years ago a little girl was in her room at night. She screamed in terror, her father ran in and asked what was wrong. She said somebody was looking in my window so he said draw me a picture of what that somebody looked like. He looked at the picture and grab his gun, he went outside. He shot it, the next day he went to where he shot but it was gone. A trucker was driving that night and he locked up his brakes, he said he seen two creatures (Bigfoots) carrying one that looked dead across the road. That turned out to be the one the father had shot.
Your daughter is scared of a potential danger looking through her window and you have her draw a picture first? "Babygirl, we might be in danger, but go ahead and take 10 minutes to draw a picture. I'm gonna strip down and clean my gun while you do that."
@@ryanhummel7714 not my story or my daughter dumb nuts. Literally says years ago. The story took place in like the 80s maybe later, maybe sooner. If you had any sense you’d know that a story can change through the years with different people telling it unless it’s written down. I’m just telling it how it was told to me. Keyboard warriors will always have something to say. Smh. 🤡

My BFF from 1st grade to HS graduation, was half Cherokee. She spent every summer and major holidays with her Dad in NC. She was extremely proud of her heritage. She always told me that her Dad and other family members, would warn her about where she walked, especially around dusk. She was adamant of "something the elders warned about but wouldn't discuss ".
She unfortunately passed away following graduation. I am almost 70 yo and still remember her stories after her time with the Cherokee.
May she rest quietly and greet me with happiness and tears of joy.
Hr stopped being half Cherokee after graduation?

Actually, in 1846 an ancestor of a friend of mine in Southern California testified in an affidavit stating that he had encountered a female Sasquatch who wandered into his farm yard, went to the well and got herself a drink, and just sat for a bit before leaving. These Bigfoot are referred to in sixty different native American languages. Now I live in the Pacific Northwest and yes, they've been here longer than that the local First Nation people can remember.
Ha the pnw has a million tourist all over olympia and the cascades .
They may have been there, even untill quite recently but I'd guess they were reduced to mostly small inbred bands by 1900 at the latest. Most likely all died by now.
@@eliasdskill5008 I agree it's unlikely but most of that country isn't terribly accessible. If illegal growers can hide out there without the tourists impacting them much a small number of small groups may still do so too.
Unfortunately they were probably pushed to the margins even out there when modern humans came in and I mean native Americans, 15,000 or more years ago. There range and numbers could only have reduced since.
Whatever might be left running around to find (IF anything) is going to be the Bigfoot equivalent of Deliverance.

Im Navajo and one time i heard a story from an old Salish man he told me a long time ago
That his tribe get into a war with Stone Giants
They were men not animals that covered themselves in clay that clay would harden so no arrow or spear would penetrate their skin
They were Cannibalistic and killing people
The old salish told me they had to burn the forest down to kill those things
Woah that's interesting.
Makes me think of the Man-Eating giants/big foot of Lovelock Cave. They were massive, red-headed, viciously warlike, monsters that preyed upon the tribes and peoples of the area. After suffering under their constant murderous raids, the tribe(s) put together a huge war-party and pursued the monsters to this cave where the giants incorrectly thought they could evade and hide inside the cave long enough until the war-party would just give up and leave. Instead, the fed-up warriors blockaded the entrance so that there would be no chance of the monsters escaping, stacked large amounts of burnable fuel that would create massive amounts of thick smoke around the former entrance. Upon lighting this they sat down and waited as they listened to the monstrous wheezing and coughing from inside loudly begin, and patiently they kept their vigils until the last horrible gasp for air turned into a death rattle that signaled their reign of terror finally coming to its end.
My great grandmother was a Cherokee Indian. The Cherokee have old stories of red-haired giants as well. Some very creepy.
@@thetruthchannel349Same.
I still don’t believe these stories. Not a single bone. If natives took down giants or big foot the bones would be an absolute treasure to them. Which then would have most likely been stolen by settlers, which then would have ended up in a museum. I just don’t believe it.
It's just a made up story.😂

I know of a story that is similar in theme, and occurred not too long ago. The town of Portlock, Alaska was abandoned in 1950 or 1951 after the residents came under attack by something similar to Bigfoot/Sasquatch. I forget the local name for it.
The record for the town's existence and abandonment is pretty good - you can see the site of the town on Google Maps in satellite images, the USPS had a post office there that they closed after everybody left, etc. People who have gone back to check things out also report seeing things moving in the tree line. Surprisingly, there's no record of any government investigation. This was the 1950s, you'd think the US government or at least an Alaska state agency would have wondered why the population of an entire town suddenly decided to move.
Actually haunted but I think natives warning away from that area I think because Alaska has aliens and my beings and probably Bigfoot..
I believe there's an area that's abandoned in Oregon too. It's like a cavern area in the last person to leave was the post office person.
I’m a member of the Choctaw and we have a ton of stories like this one of my favorite is the story of the story of the Nalusa Falaya it is a shadow monster that lurks at the edge of the light and depending on who is telling the story it either takes you away or it would poses you and make you do evil things
I have just heard this story at this moment, and suddenly I feel both unsettled understood about the suspicious feeling I get whenever my pets stare at a shadowed corner for longer than they should.
@@TimeCircleBlue I know how you feel my grandma told me this story when I was little it took me longer than I’d like to admit to go into a dark room or out in the dark lol
Bigfoot? Big load of bollocks more like.
Them injuns been smokin too much wacky baccy and eatin too many magic mushrooms.
Actually I want to know more about this one. Mainly because of certain events my family experiences as farmers. Since then it seems the family has gone mad if they hadn't been already
@@honorableundead2273 hello I’m not one of the tribal story tellers, so I don’t know much more than what my grandma would tell me, what I do know is that it is described as a humanoid with the head of a coyote, it has glowing yellow eyes, it is usually described as being darker than the darkness around it and is usually found in the darkest part of the forest, just at the edge of the light waiting for someone foolish enough to wonder away from the safety of the light, it will also lure people away into the darkness by mimicking, the sound of a crying child, it’s voice is described as a whisper.
I grew up around the mowah-choctaw back in alabama, i even asked about this once. Wish i could say something cool, but the old lady responsible for telling us choctaw stories just laughed patted my head and sent me on my way
I would unfortunately advise rather than asking, knowing or experienceing. Those who don't know will never be told. Then instead of directly talking about it, beat around the bush. It's how I talk about any secret topics on various reservations. If they don't have the right medicine or experience with a certain people then they aren't to be trusted. Nobody who truly knows wants the unworthy to hijack and steal power. I get the most details that way but it's less exciting and feels more like I'm counting cards in Black Jack. Just kind of how it always goes on this continent. 😉 ...It's important to remember that indigenous peoples of Oklahoma more than likely are there because of American foreign/domestic policies such as The Trail of Tears and other forced relocation strategies. The people living here for 200 or so years may very well be as clueless as the European settlers in such a case. European religion and culture are more similar in such cases than most would realize. Often times it's Christians who say to never bring up the name of certain demons so as not to pro/invoke them. Many times this is the case with 'cryptids' and other super natural types of creatures in North American religion and lore. So even if you're allowed 'inside' it still may not be discussed for safety/superstition. That's the concept this creator missed out on explaining how much of history is lost. There is lost history. Some things though, we just don't talk about.
@@sneakyviewing4391I am Indian from India ( himalayas. Yetis etc.) and we have many lost truths not being shared which is a problem because people are going missing in national parks missing 411
Indians.and native Americans aren't helping by keeping things to themselves
.. it's effing frustrating
Of course that's the response you got. If there was any truth/stories it died off with the native genocide while the remaining indigenous were sent to reeducation camps.
What we know for fact is the Smithsonian made it a habit to collect giant human skeletons in the 19th and 20th century.
Don't forget about those reeducation camps the indigenous had to attend after the G***cide.
Also don't forget the Smithsonian was working overtime collecting large human bones in the 19th and 20th century.
Bigfoot? Big load of bollocks more like.

I was at a Bigfoot museum somewhere in California, I think Santa Cruz, and the guy who owned the building told me and my family some stories visitors had told. One I that I remember (the only one I remember, as I was 8 or 9 at the time) was about Bigfoot eating one of their chickens. The person the story came from said they had gone to check on their chickens in the morning. (checking the food, collecting eggs, etc.) When they got into the coop, they had found the skeleton of one of the chickens picked clean, and all the feathers were neatly laid out forming a circle around the skeleton. Apparently all the other chickens were just sitting there, frozen, staring at the skeleton. I don’t remember if the door to the coop had signs of a break in or anything, and there may be some other details I forgot (it was 6-7 years ago), but that’s the gist of it.
Edit: I have a feeling someone is gonna ask this, but the contents of the museum was mostly just plaster track molds, and some statues. I think it was mostly just a gift shop and a little stop just for fun.
Edit 2: just went on google earth. It’s called the Bigfoot Discovery Museum, and is not mostly a gift shop. Mostly just plaster molds, statues, newspaper articles, and skulls.
It's rumored to be in the Santa Cruz mountains and in gualala the Santa Cruz is in Northern California

i grew up in the choctaw nation in oklahoma, and had many friends who were apart of choctaw families and such and i remember one of them at a family dinner started to tell how they have encountered a reak big foot in their backyard said how he saw it stalking him or something. Bigfoot is very popular in the 3 towns i grew up in and bigfoot was a major part of my life. Trying to hunt him with a .22 rifle at age 9 with my younger brother
Yet never heard this particular storg passed down?
I wonder why.
I would probably say it's a good thing that you never found him 😉
I grew up in the Blue Ridge of VA where they were called 'wild people'. We were told as kids to stay away from them , that it was bad luck to shoot at one, and that they would seek revenge even many years later.
What three towns? My dad was Choctaw and grew up around Prague/Stroud Oklahoma and the Choctaw newspaper would print these types of stories.
I grew up around broken bow, hotchtown, and Idable. The story I heard from my friend never went public, he didn’t really tell anyone because he thought people would think he was crazy@@colcommissar23
Love how your content can stay grounded while exploring this stuff - there’s so much we’ll never know past and present.
The world is still very big…especially for an Aussie. I’ve been solo hiking weeks from the nearest trail, people, etc, and I can’t explain some of the noises I’ve heard at night. It’s humbling
This account is reminiscent of the battles that the Paiute tribe in Nevada have had and passed down orally regarding fighting red headed giants. These giants would raid the Paiute settlements at night stealing anyone they could to cannibalize. After a lengthy period of fighting this conflict reached its culmination in Lovelock cave in Nevada. The Paiutes had chased the last of these giants into this cave and lit fires at the mouth of the cave to suffocate the giants. I can't imagine with all of the challenges to surviving day to day and then to have to deal with "Monsters" like this. These were definitely tough people.
You have such an immeasurable gift for storytelling. In my opinion you are quite frankly unmatched! Thank you.
I live in a town valled Greenwood, in Leflore County, MS
Greenwood Leflore was my great great great grandfathers arch enemy. Lol
Greenwood wanted the Choctaws to be more white, and Mushulatubee was the last full blood chief in MS at the time of removal.
Mushulatubbee gets a bad wrap in history, but he very much wanted to continue the traditional ways.
Greenwood Leflore stayed at his massive mansion called Malmaison (his dad was french).
Mushulartubbee led his people to Oklahoma on the trail of tears.

The Dark Magic Marines video has 2 jump scares
Imagine that... Hearing an old story I haven't heard in forever. My big granny was Choctaw, full blood. She told me this story when she still spoke English. But that was when I was about three years old. The last time she told me about it, she spoke in Choctaw. Still remember her telling me to keep my eyes open and not to follow the sounds in the woods. Wrong time for my first night trip into the woods with the big kids. Made it about a hundred yards. When I got scared, I had to run back to the porch by myself. Glad there was a full moon that night,lmao
Man, I honestly had no idea that the Choctaw would have history with Bigfoot.😲 It's so fascinating! I love this!
Too bad this is a fictional story that was loosely based off the equally fictional movie of Bone Tomahawk.
The story told in this video doesn't date back farther than 2015.
Bone Tomahawk, man was that movie brutal to watch. I bet the people behind the predator movie Prey got their idea from this story of bigfoot vs Choctaw. @@Eidolon1andOnly

On the west coast, in California in the northern bay area, the Pomo natives have a similar story about creatures known as "wallopers." The legends are real enough to this day that I don't know anyone who would go walking through those woods.
Which woods?
@@AlexanderOsiasprobably humbolt
@@AlexanderOsiasprobably humbolt I got a kind of a strange feeling while driving through there
Proud Cherokee & Choctaw tribal member here & i never heard of this
Bc it’s fiction. Even if some people did go missing, they were taken into slavery.
Perhaps there’s some feral rapist cannibals, like the film the Hills have Eyes.
I’d be more surprised if that never happened, given the amount of psychos and serial killers there are.
Human cannibalism is a real thing, naturally in olden days without electricity and flashlights, things get exaggerated and embellished by Chinese whispers.
Well that took the air out of the story Good story though , But it doesn’t mean they don’t exist thanks for keeping it honest but if you ever do find out let us know thanks
Because all the old ppl are dead ! So no stories are being told
This is probably the coolest Bigfoot story I've ever heard.
I couldn't stop watching and listening, it was so riveting! My twin brother back in the 80's may have had a bigfoot encounter at an apartment complex in Marlborough, Massachusetts. He had gotten home from work and parked his car. As he exited his vehicle he was accosted by a horribly putrid stench coming from the vicinity of the dumpster, used by the apartment residents, and set back into a wooded area. He assumed it was rotten meat that had been tossed into the dumpster, when suddenly there was tremendous pounding from the woods behind the dumpster, that was so powerful that he described it like Clydesdale horses beating the ground in unison. In terror, he fled to the 3rd floor apartment he and his wife shared. He then called the police. They came out and scanned the woods with a spotlight but didn't see anything.
I watched the Roy videos again yesterday, today a new one, how nice!
Edit: I love that you took the natives for this story, they had alot to tell and there are so few stories for the amount of (mysterious) history of the native americans.
Edit 2: Get well soon with your voice
Ngl I was hoping you were sponsored by Dr. Squatch lmao, woulda been so fitting.
But seriously, I LOVE this channel. Your narration style and voice is so satisfying. I eagerly eat up every video you put out
I’m Choctaw, my grandmother and her brother grew up in an orphanage because their mother died and their father re-married not keeping the children. My grandmother married a white man and had 12 children, my father was proud of his heritage as a Choctaw. I miss him dearly. He taught me to be the hard worker I am today. The only stories I ever heard, the tornadoes he experienced as a child and some stuff he and his brother used to sneak into a cellar to smoke (he never told me, my uncle did…lol)
I like to think of myself as an Indian Princess.
Thanks for listening. 😂😂😂
Many blessings to you my friend!!!
So are you Pocahontas? 🤣

Greeting from Ireland. Much love to you and your family.
Do you realize that right across the state line from where this took place in Miller County, Arkansas is where the Fouke Monster (aka Boggy Creek Monster, aka Skunk Ape) had been reported for decades not just there but all over South Arkansas, North Louisiana, southeast Oklahoma and East Texas. Made into a popular docudrama in the 1970s called “The Legend of Boggy Creek.” I live in the region and have heard stories over the years. I’ve visited Fouke, AR twice and those people believe it. Musician Lyle Blackburn has done a lot of more recent research on the subject.
The Choctaw also lived in northeast Louisiana and southeast Arkansas as well.
I am a native of NW Louisiana I have spent 64 years living 56 miles from Fouke and roaming these woods along the Red and Sabine rivers. Family was here for 200 years, I can tell you from experience these things exist.
@@intelex691 I live in northeast Louisiana not far from the Arkansas line east of the Quachita River. I have heard stories from various ordinary down to earth people first and second hand. I know, as few people do (because so many live in urban environments), just how much raw untamed wilderness there is that is rarely set foot on by man.
They are out there, my mothers family had seen them in the Sabine River basin near where toledo bend is now for hundreds of years. I saw 1 for the first time in the early 70s in NW La just a mile or so from the exact location near the Texas state line where the GCBRO claim to have shot and wounded 1 in Feb 2002
@@Jerry000g I don’t doubt you saw something. Nature is a bigger thing than we think it is. Wildlife $ Fisheries claim constantly there are no panther in Louisiana, but people see them all the time.
You ever see the 1976 movie “Creature From Black Lake”? A fictional movie but based on the boggy creek monster. Low budget but very well done and spooky for atmosphere and cinematography. Filmed and takes place in Oil City and Caddo Lake. The producer and director is from Mansfield and Shreveport area. You can find a cleaned up HD version for free on youtube or just about any streaming service.
in florida they are known as skunk apes as well. i think ours are a bit smaller.
I've worked alongside a nunber of Choctaw people as an archaeologist and have met many Choctaw in my lifetime and career. They're good-hearted, friendly, and proud people who are strong in their cultural heritage and steadfast in their identity. They're a culture of people I personally, a guy of European American heritage, have learned a number of things from. I have the utmost respect for them as a First Nations people and want them to thrive.

As an Archaeologist, I wish more people knew about the 1527 Narváez Expedition where lost and shipwrecked Spaniards landed in Florida and were taken as slaves. Only 4 men survived. Those of which were sold and resold and escaped as slaves, eventually walking almost the entire Gulf Coast region in order to make it to Mexico City. One of the best tales of American exploration, because they saw the continent as is, without massive destruction and depopulation yet from disease.
What does this have to do with Bigfoot?

I’m reading this like oh crap this is
sounding pretty good and then…..nothing but disappointment. at least make it relevant 😒
I wish the analysis was more concrete. However, I’m one of those “show me the evidence” people. I await the snarky replies.
At the scene where the Choctaw discover the remains of their stolen relatives, I think you meant "gluttonous flies" (as in greedy and gorging themselves) rather than "glutinous flies" (which would be flies having a slimy, gloopy consistency).
Just thought I should mention this.
Great video! As always! I love these stories.
We speak typo we know what he meant
@@juliehealingleaf6211 Hey, you would be surprised at clueless some people out there are. Someone might genuinely watch this and start using "glutinous" instead of "gluttonous", and there is a distinct chance it would be someone whose mother-tongue is English as well.
Teenagers these days hardly read, and many can hardly write.
It is possible that they could be both. Flies are gluttonous by nature, but if in the midst of feeding upon a large pile of rotting flesh and feces, they could also have that upon their bodies. Just a thought.

I first read of this account in Lyle Blackburn's book Beyond Boggy Creek, which is worth buying for monster fans. I never did think I'd see it adapted to YT by you folks. It's a fine piece of work and I enjoyed seeing it.
Finally, another viewer that made the Fouke Monster connection. The Legend of Boggy Creek. I have been to Fouke twice and have Blackburn’s book and people have been seeing this animal for decades in North Louisiana, South Arkansas and East Texas and Louisiana. The wild wooded wilderness in this region is vast.

It's been a long time, and I'm a bit vague on details, but one time a guy pulled out a map of California. He looked for all the places on the map named after Sasquatch, mostly named because of sightings, encounters, and other "incidents", and plotted them. What he discovered amazed him. There was a line that followed the tops of the mountain ridges; that is, there was a _trail_ along the tops of the mountains that basically followed all the place names. IOW, Sasquatch tend to travel along the mountain tops. Not saying they aren't seen other places, just that they've been seen so much along the higher reaches, that places up there are _named_ after them.
Wow!! This was an amazing video!! Artwork and narration are 5 star! Luke and everyone at Wartime Stories work so hard and come up with incredible content!! Thank you again, this is absolutely great!!👍👍✊

I was JUST thinking i hadn't seen a new post from you in a while, and bam, here it is! Thank you 🙏
Thank you. I've been hoping you would do this story. And I wasn't disappointed
I saw one not 40 miles from this location in the kiamichi mountains of pushmataha county. It was green eyed and not aggressive at all. It liked fruits, berries , deer corn and oats. The hair was not matted but groomed nice shiny black hair with blueish black skin. Flat wide nose with big wide lips. They were very nice and gifted me several thing as well as antlers. If you wondered too close they would snap branches in warning but never howled or got aggressive. It was an enlightening 3 months that I spent studying them. I will be back there soon to continue my research, I cant wait…
Did it have a copper color stripe? There's a family of them that we're friends of some humans so a bit tame.
Like different species or types of wolves, I think there are different species of "bigfoots." The stories are oral history, not just legends. There are far too many historical stories for me not to believe it.
And why haven’t you taken even one photo
Letting us Natives shine! Fuck yeah! 🤘🏽
The People deserve to be known. 🤝

I used to have land in Leflore county Oklahoma. One night while I was camping I swear one ran right by my tent. The footsteps were very heavy sounding on the rock. There is no doubt in my mind it was something running on two legs. I always thought bigfoot may be out there, but after my experience I have no doubts whatsoever. It's not something you ever want to run into in the woods I'll tell you that much.
This was a great rendition of the encounters. Great voice. Made me subscribe. Thanks. You are so right the Artwork for this is amazing and chilling at times.
Great story and I hope you heal up quick and full! Thank you for such interesting content as always!
hell yea brother, this was a great one. I heard of similar stories from the First nation in Canada in Petersons' retelling. very interesting indeed.
You guys at wartime stories are awesome!
Was driving through Oklahoma while listening to this, so perfect! Thanks
If bigfoots did/do exist it would make sense that there were/are different species that have different behaviours. Another great episode. Thank you sir🫡
I think bigfoots STILL exist
Yeah like vegetarian bigfoots (like the ones shown in gta and rdr2) and of course the snow relative the yeti
