Bigfoot Sighting, 1924 Mount St. Helens Fred Beck Story, Gold Miner

Clip from an old docudrama film that was called 'Sasquatch'.

Nothing ruins a wilderness trip like begin attacked by a band of menacing ape-men, but that's just what Fred Beck and four of fellow his gold miners claim happened to them on a prospecting job in Mount St. Helens in the summer of 1924. According to Beck, the men had just settled down to sleep for the night when they were awakened by an attack on their cabin. Someone — or something — was pounding the roof with rocks and trying to tear down their humble yet sturdy abode. Shocked, they grabbed their rifles and began shooting at the intruders.

The fighting continued all night long, so the story goes, but none of the men were seriously hurt. By morning, an eerie quiet had entered the camp and as the men cautiously exited the cabin, they saw an ape-man in the distance. They shot at the beast several times and it finally fell over the cliff into the canyon. It was the only one of their attackers they would see.

The men packed their belongings in a hurry — leaving most things behind — and made their way home, promising each other not to speak of the incident to anyone. Alas, the story was leaked and within a few weeks it was picked up by the local newspaper, which dubbed the beasts the "Ape-Men of Mount St. Helens."

Imagine that these miners were armed with Bushmaster M4A3 assault rifles inside the cabin.....this tale would have a much different ending....So you Bigfeet like throwing rocks....Ratat-tata-tat

We wouldn't have to watch so many ButchyKid films

Susanmarieable - This movie is available as part of a three-part movie set. Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot (this movie), Snowbeast (low-budget made-for-TV movie from the 70's), and Snow Creature (REALLY bad b-movie) but this is a fun set. Search for Sasquatch Horror Collection (1977). It's available on Amazon but it's ridiculously over-priced.

I heard bigfoot raped all of the men....one gave birth to a bigfootman, a hyrbid bigfoot that spawned the more elusive bigfoots of today.

@Astraldragon1 Legend is the key word there: old stories. Made up shit. The image of bigfoot is white man's: Suttles found that one or two tribes in BC had anything resembling this imagery. The rest were something else.

[Astraldragon1]

@cochranexyz Fake Tracks today can not explain stories that go back among the indian's since they came  to North America. and Early Explorers. long before the people who claim to start the Bigfoot legend were even born.

@Astraldragon1 WOW NO SHIT THAT THE POINT I WAS MAKING BEFORE YOU TRY TO ARGUE WITH ME MOTHERFUCKER!

[Astraldragon1]

@MRKILLYOURSELF2 , It tells you the Native American's have more respect for the land and the creatures living there Bigfoot , bear, moose ,Wolf or any of Mother Nature's creatures.. Then the White men do. that's what it tells you.
