A chilling encounter with unknown primates on Mount St. Helens has been making waves in the Bigfoot community, and it's easy to see why. The video posted on The Cryptid Vault's YouTube channel, titled "Trapped by Sasquatch," tells the story of five miners who experienced a terrifying night while working in a remote area of the mountain. As the sun set, the miners settled in for the night, unaware of the danger lurking outside. The eerie sounds of the forest filled the air, making them feel as though they were being watched. Suddenly, their cabin was under attack by something large and powerful. Rocks hurled through the air, shattering windows, and something heavy moved on the roof. The miners were trapped, and their only hope was to hold out until dawn. As the sun rose, the creatures outside the cabin abruptly retreated, leaving behind a trail of destruction. The cabin was battered and bruised, and outside, the miners found massive manlike prints far larger than any human could have made. These chilling footprints served as a reminder of the terrifying ordeal they had endured. The Ape Canyon Incident, as it came to be known, remains one of the most baffling and intriguing encounters in Bigfoot lore. The miner's tale, dismissed by some as a hoax or an exaggeration, continues to fuel speculation and debate. Did they truly encounter a group of unknown primates, or was it something else, something born of the darkness and the isolation of the Wilderness?
