Prospectors' Encounter with a Tall, Mysterious Creature in 1924

Have you heard about the chilling encounter near Mount St. Helens in Washington? In July of 1924, five gold prospectors had a harrowing experience that they would never forget. I recently came across a video on YouTube, posted by the channel SINISTERFLIX, that detailed this terrifying event. The men were in a well-known area where they had been working for six years. They had been having a successful week, finding a lot of gold, when suddenly one of them, Fred Beck, started complaining about a terrible toothache. Despite this, the group decided to stay one more day to continue their work. That evening, as they approached their cabin, they noticed a massive footprint on the ground. They initially thought it belonged to a bear, but upon closer inspection, they realized it was too big. One of the men shared a story about seeing a similar track earlier in the week and hearing a strange whistling sound. Fred Beck also remembered hearing the whistling but had thought it was coming from their group. The situation grew even stranger when the men realized they didn't have any water to make soup. Fred and another prospector, Hank, decided to go to the spring to fetch some, but as they walked, Hank suddenly stopped and raised his rifle. He had seen a tall creature covered in hair, peeking out from behind a tree. Hank fired three shots, and the creature began running towards them, emitting a whistling sound. Terrified, Fred and Hank ran back to the cabin and barricaded the door. They recounted their story to the other men, who were shocked and frightened. They sat in the dark, hoping the creature wouldn't return. In the middle of the night, they were awakened by a loud bang against the side of the cabin. Footsteps and whistling could be heard outside, and the men realized that multiple creatures were surrounding the cabin. The creatures began hurling rocks and stones, and the cabin started showing signs of damage. The men sat in the dark for hours, listening to the whistling and footsteps. Suddenly, a large hairy arm reached through a hole in the wall, trying to grab an axe. The creature eventually withdrew its arm after being shot at through the hole. At dawn, the men cautiously opened the door and stepped outside. The ground was littered with rocks, and the walls of the cabin bore deep scratches and dents. Despite the relentless assault, the cabin had held its ground. The video I watched didn't mention any footprints or photos, but I'm sure our readers are aware of the evidence found in the area. I encourage you all to watch the video and share your thoughts with us. It's a chilling reminder of the dangers that can lurk in the woods. Stay safe out there, Squatchable readers, and keep those stories coming!
