In a chilling tale of a different kind of Bigfoot encounter, the YouTube channel 10th Legion Pictures brings us a video titled "The Bigfoot War of 1855 - Paranormal History." This video explores the story of a group of Choctaw and Anglo farmers in what is now Laflor County, Oklahoma, who were experiencing terrifying events in 1855. At first, the thieves were stealing crops and livestock, but things took a dark turn when women and children started disappearing. A posse of 30 Choctaw men, led by Joshua Laflor, set out to hunt down the abductors. What they found instead was a horrifying scene of women and children's bodies in various stages of decomposition, and three enraged Sasquatches. The posse engaged in a fierce battle with the creatures, resulting in the death of two Sasquatches and the injury of a third, which was later dispatched by Robert Tubby. The men gathered the remains of the unfortunate women and children and buried them, while the Sasquatch bodies were burned on a bonfire. While the story may seem too shocking to be true, Bigfoot researcher Jim King believes it is based on an event that took place in Kiowa territory, where apelike creatures were attracted to the scent of menstruating women in a special Tepee. The Kiowa leadership put together a group of warriors to hunt down the kidnappers, who tracked them back to their lair and killed their entire family unit. Whether entirely fictional or not, the story of the Four County Bigfoot War suggests the long-standing presence of a massive hairy aplike being in the area. This belief predates the emergence of Bigfoot in American culture and is held by numerous Native American tribes throughout North America. I find this video fascinating and encourage our readers to watch it for themselves. The story of the Bigfoot War of 1855 is a chilling reminder of the mysterious and sometimes terrifying nature of the Sasquatch.
