A fascinating video recently caught my eye on YouTube, and I knew I had to share it with my fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts. The video, posted by the YouTube channel Hammerson Peters, delves into an intriguing tale of a wildman sighting on Valdez Island, British Columbia, in 1905.
The story begins with the Pitcock family, who lived in a remote homestead on Valdez Island. One chilly evening in mid-October, they were startled by a ghastly face in their kitchen window. The face was covered in black hair, with only a small portion of skin visible. The figure let out a diabolical scream and vanished, leaving the family shaken and puzzled.
Determined to uncover the truth, the Pitcock men searched the area and discovered large footprints beneath the window. The family heard more screams during the night and spotted naked footprints along the creek the next day. The following night, the men caught a glimpse of a tall, naked man covered in long hair and a face that matched the description from the previous night. The creature cried, "Don't shoot!" before disappearing into the bush.
The video also explores a theory about the wildman's origin, shared by lumber baron Mike King. King claimed that a large ship carrying a gorilla cargo had wrecked on Vancouver Island around 1877. The gorilla escaped and was believed to have fathered the wildman seen by the Pitcocks.
While I can't verify the authenticity of this tale, I find it captivating and worthy of discussion among our fellow Bigfoot believers. The video offers a unique perspective on the wildman phenomenon and raises questions about the true nature of these elusive creatures.
I encourage you all to watch the video and share your thoughts on this fascinating story. Is it possible that the Valdez Island wildman is a descendant of an escaped gorilla? Or could it be a Sasquatch, adapting to its surroundings and evading human contact?
Let's keep the conversation going and continue to explore the mysteries that surround us. Happy squatching!
