A recent video posted on the YouTube channel Cryptid Wilderness Research has caught the attention of the Bigfoot community, and for good reason. The video, titled "Podcast 4, Port Chatham, and Alaska Bigfoot discussion," delves into the fascinating history of Port Chatham and Port Lock, a location on the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska with a reputation for intense Sasquatch activity. The video is hosted by Daniel Becker, joined by co-hosts Matt Slater and Paul from Anchorage, Alaska. They discuss the history of Port Chatham and Port Lock, which was founded in 1786 by Captain Portlock of the British Royal Navy. The area was originally a fur trading post, but in the early 1900s, a fishing fleet moved in and set up a large fish cannery. However, it was the native tribes of the area who first reported encounters with a creature they called the "ntino," a hairy man-beast. According to the video, sightings of the creature were reported by people from the village of Port Lock, who claimed to have seen it in the woods and down by the water. The general fear caused by these sightings led to a vast majority of the population leaving the town. The second time this happened was in the 1930s, when people went into the woods to hunt moose or sheep and never returned. Bodies were found that were horribly mutilated, not in a way that a bear would attack a human. The video also touches on the difficulty of getting to Port Chatham and Port Lock, as it requires permission from a Native corporation to go ashore and a two to three hour boat trip from Homer. Despite the challenges, the Kenai Peninsula is known as a hot spot for Bigfoot activity, with particularly aggressive Sasquatch reported in the area. I found this video to be incredibly informative and fascinating. The history of Port Chatham and Port Lock, and the intense Sasquatch activity in the area, is something that I was not aware of before watching this video. I highly recommend checking it out for yourself and learning more about this intriguing location.
