A chilling account of a possible encounter with a Sasquatch in an abandoned tunnel has surfaced on YouTube, and it's left many viewers wondering if the legendary creature could be hiding in subterranean caverns. The video, posted by the YouTube channel S1 E4 • The Subterranean Sasquatch, features an interview with a man who claims to have heard a roar that sounded like a lion while exploring an abandoned tunnel on the Pennsylvania turnpike. The witness, an avid backpacker, was reviewing his maps when he came across a trail that crossed over an abandoned tunnel. Intrigued, he decided to explore the tunnel, which was storing salt at one end. As he and a friend walked along the top of the salt pile, they heard a piece of wood fall, followed by a roar that sounded like a lion. The sound came down the tunnel towards them, causing them to freeze in fear. The witness described the sound as having power and volume, and said that it went right through them. He also mentioned that the tunnel was over a mile long, with a tiny pin prick of light at the other end, indicating that there was a way out on both ends. However, the witness and his friend were puzzled as to why the creature didn't escape through the other end. Speculation about Sasquatch hiding in subterranean caverns and old tunnels is not new to the area. The state of Pennsylvania is littered with caves, with over 1,100 privately mapped caves. The Chestnut Ridge, where the encounter took place, is made up of limestone, one of the best places to find caves. The area is honeycombed with both manmade and natural caves, making it an ideal hiding place for a Sasquatch. The possibility of Sasquatch using caves as a hiding place has been discussed by pioneers in the field, such as John Green. Green hypothesized that Sasquatch may use caves to hide from the forces of nature. And reports such as the Albert Osman account imply a degree of habitation to caves. The witness's account has left many viewers wondering if the Sasquatch could be using the abandoned tunnel as a shelter. The witness himself is convinced that there was nothing else that could've made that type of noise, and that it was too creepy for anything else to be in that tunnel. this video has left me intrigued and excited. The witness's account is chilling, and the possibility of Sasquatch using caves as a hiding place is a fascinating one. I encourage all Bigfoot enthusiasts to watch the video and form their own opinions. Who knows, this encounter could be the key to finally proving the existence of the elusive Sasquatch. Note: The video states that the encounter took place in August 2001, but the exact date is not mentioned in the video. Also, the witness's name is not mentioned in the video, so I have not included it in the article.
