A chilling tale of terror and the unknown has emerged from the abandoned coastal fishing town of Port Chatham, also known as Portlock, on the southern Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. The town, which dates back to the 18th century, was once a bustling settlement for Russian fur traders, Native fur hunters, American fishermen, and miners. However, in the 1930s, the town began to decline and was eventually abandoned by 1949 due to mysterious disappearances, unsolved murders, and haunting encounters in the forests and coastal areas surrounding the village.
The video from the YouTube channel Wild Assault, titled "When Bigfoot Terrorized Alaska," delves into the dark history of Port Chatham and the unexplained events that have haunted the area for centuries. The video suggests that the cause of the disappearances and murders may be a demonic entity or a supernatural Bigfoot with extraordinary powers.
The legends of large humanoid creatures known as the Ntino or Kushtaka have long been a part of the indigenous people's history on the Kenai Peninsula. These creatures are believed to wander in the dark wilderness of the peninsula and are described as large and hairy, possessing human-like features, and often with red eyes. Some accounts even mention their fishy or musty smell. The Kushtaka is believed to be intelligent and spiritual, capable of mimicking human language and acting as a patron for the region's wildlife.
One of the most intriguing pieces of evidence presented in the video is the inverted trees found in the area. Two Cedars, weighing nearly 1,000 LB, stand inverted, each driven 7 to 8 ft into the ground with roots facing the sky. The local legend is clear about what they believe is responsible for marking their territory in this way.
The video also touches on the darker tales and legends of the Dena and Athabascan people, which speak of nocturnal attacks on villages and settlements by ghostly creatures. These entities are said to steal livestock and, in some stories, even women or children.
The story of Port Chatham as a western settlement began in the late 19th century, and by 1900, a cannery was built, and the settlement grew slowly along the rugged southern coast of the Kenai Peninsula. However, in the early 1930s, terror began to grip the woods and coastlines around Port Chatham as the locals began to recall the old native legends seriously. Reports of large bipedal creatures observed in the forests or along the shores of the region were not uncommon, and it wasn't until the early 1930s that terror began to grip the woods and coastlines around Port Chatham as the locals began to recall the old native legends.
The video is a fascinating look into the mysterious and chilling history of Port Chatham and the possible existence of a supernatural Bigfoot or demonic entity. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in the unknown and the unexplained. Be sure to check out the full video on Wild Assault's YouTube channel and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
