In a recent video from the YouTube channel Squatch America, hosts Scott and Hannah explore the fascinating tale of the Ape Canyon Attack, one of the most legendary Bigfoot encounters in history. The video features guest Mark Marcel, who led the rediscovery of the Ape Canyon cabin site.
The Ape Canyon Attack occurred in July 1924, when a group of five gold prospectors led by Fred Beck were mining deep in the wilderness near Mount St. Helens. According to their account, they had been noticing large footprints around their cabin for days. One of them reportedly shot at a massive hairy creature near the canyon that night, and their cabin came under siege. The miners claimed that several large apik creatures began hurling rocks at their cabin, pounding on the walls and roof, and even trying to break in. The attack lasted through the night, with the men firing their rifles to keep the creatures at bay. By morning, the creatures had vanished and the miners wasted no time escaping the canyon.
The incident remains one of the most debated encounters in Sasquatch history. Was it an overactive imagination, a bear encounter, or real evidence of a Bigfoot attack? That's what Squatch America aims to explore in this video.
Mark Marcel, the guest on the show, led the rediscovery of the Ape Canyon cabin site and has a deep passion for the subject. During the video, he shares his thoughts on the incident and his own experiences with Bigfoot.
I am always excited to see new videos and perspectives on the subject of Bigfoot. The Ape Canyon Attack is a fascinating tale, and Mark Marcel's insights add an extra layer of intrigue.
