In a recent video from the YouTube channel KoR Live!, hosts Jer and Cass discuss the topic of Bigfoot activity in the area surrounding Mount St. Helens in Washington state. The duo touches on various accounts and incidents that have occurred in the region, including the Ape Canyon incident of 1924.
During their conversation, they bring up an article from oregonlive.com that provides a different perspective on the Ape Canyon incident. This account comes from the townspeople who were notified after the incident, rather than from Fred Beck, one of the prospectors involved.
According to the article, a group of gold prospectors, including Fred Beck, Gabe Leder, John Peterson, Marion Smith, and Smith's son Roy, encountered "gorilla men" while they were hunting for gold. These creatures were described as seven feet tall, covered in long black hair, and having four-inch-long ears that stuck straight up. Witnesses also mentioned that the animals had four toes and weighed around 400 pounds or more.
Jer and Cass discuss the discrepancies between this account and Fred Beck's version of the story, noting that the townspeople's descriptions of the creatures' ears and feet differ from Beck's account. They also touch on the investigation by the US Forest Service, which concluded that the large stones near the cabin were most likely placed there by the miners themselves.
Throughout the video, Jer and Cass remain respectful of the various perspectives and opinions surrounding the Ape Canyon incident and Bigfoot sightings in general. As curators of this content, they encourage viewers to watch the video and draw their own conclusions.
