Miners' 1924 Encounter: Defending Against Mysterious Hairy Creatures

A fascinating account of an encounter with mysterious creatures has recently emerged on YouTube, and I couldn't help but delve into the details of this captivating story. The video, uploaded by the channel Remote Cabin Radio, features a narration of a firsthand experience of an attack by "Apenmen" in Mount St. Helens, Washington, as told by Fred Beck. Fred Beck, a miner with over six years of experience in the Mount St. Helens and Lewis River area, was part of a group of five miners who had a harrowing encounter with these creatures in 1924. The incident, which took place near a deep canyon now named Ape Canyon, has become a legend in the Northwest. Beck's account has remained unspoken for 43 years, leaving the public eager to learn about the real facts behind this famous incident. In the video, Beck recounts the moment when the hairy Apenmen attacked their cabin. The creatures, which Beck describes as approximately 7 feet tall with blackish-brown hair, were seen by the miners after hearing peculiar whistling and booming noises in the evenings. The attack on their cabin involved a series of loud thuds and the hurling of smaller rocks, although no giant boulders fell through the roof as some accounts claim. The miners defended themselves by shooting their guns, aiming only when the creatures attacked and ceasing fire when they quieted down. At one point, a creature reached through the chinking space and seized one of their axes. Hank, one of the miners, swiftly turned the axe upright, preventing the creature from pulling it out. The attack ended just before daylight, and the miners cautiously emerged from the cabin. Beck shot and hit one of the creatures, which tumbled over the cliff into the gorge. Fearing for their lives, the miners decided to leave their supplies and equipment behind and make their way to safety. This riveting account, based on the video from Remote Cabin Radio, offers a unique perspective on the mysterious creatures that have captivated the imagination of many. I encourage our readers to watch the video and share their thoughts on this captivating story.
