Alaska's Abandoned Village of Portlock: Unraveling Bigfoot Encounters and Mysterious Events

A chilling tale of a community plagued by a mysterious and terrifying creature has recently surfaced on YouTube, and it's a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast. The video, posted by the channel Wild Discovery, tells the heartbreaking story of how an entire town in Alaska was allegedly terrorized by a Bigfoot, driving the residents to abandon their homes and leaving the once-thriving community a desolate ghost town. The video begins by introducing us to Portlock, a small village located near the sea. The village has a long and mysterious history, with settlers attempting to call it home four times over the centuries, only to abandon it each time under mysterious and fearsome circumstances. The earliest recorded explorer to set foot in Portlock was a British captain named Nathaniel Portlock, who arrived in 1785. He and his crew were shocked to find remnants of an old native village, but despite the land's abundance of game and fish, they soon fell ill with a strange sickness accompanied by an overwhelming sense of dread. Six years before Portlock's arrival, a group of Spanish explorers had attempted to settle in the same area, but they too were plagued by the same strange sickness and sense of fear. The Spanish crew began hearing eerie cries coming from the dense forests, and one by one, they gave in to the fear and sickness and fled. The video then delves into the theory that infrasound, a low-frequency soundwave that certain mammals produce, may be the culprit behind the strange occurrences in Portlock. Infrasound can affect humans in unsettling ways, causing nausea, dizziness, and an overwhelming sense of unease. Though inaudible to human ears, its effects can be powerful, disorienting even the most resilient creatures. But the true nature of the predator remains unknown, and those who dared to return to Portlock in the future would face far greater horrors. In 1867, a group of nomadic Suak natives decided to settle in Portlock, but they were soon attacked by what they described as cannibal giants, monstrous beings that descended upon their village with insatiable hunger. The attacks continued night after night, each one more savage than the last, until the villagers were forced to flee. Despite the warnings from their Suak ancestors, another group braved the cursed land in 1921, the nomadic community of ALU. They established a bustling cannery, built a post office, a school, and other essential facilities, aiming to build a true modern town. But the presence of Bigfoot was kept at bay through strict rules, including a nightly curfew, armed guards, and avoiding the fog and dense forests at all costs. However, in 1931, a logger named Andrew Clock ventured into the forest, breaking the unspoken rule to stay near the edges. When he failed to return, a search party was organized, and they found his body in a mangled state, his head crushed by his own sled, and his loyal dogs torn to shreds nearby. The men who found Clock's remains were left speechless, unable to understand the violent display before them. Clock's death was a chilling reminder of the unseen predator lurking in the forest, one whose strength and savagery defied belief. The town was left on edge, and soon after, another resident, Tom Larsson, saw a massive hairy creature standing upright on the beach. Despite seeing the creature's disturbing intelligence, Larsson was left unable to pull the trigger when he aimed his rifle at it. The video is a fascinating and haunting tale of a community plagued by a mysterious and terrifying creature. While the story is certainly tragic, it's also a reminder of the power and strength of Bigfoot, and the importance of respecting the creature and its territory. It's a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast, and a reminder of the importance of taking the legends and warnings of native communities seriously.
