A recent video posted on YouTube by the channel Creek Devil has caught the attention of Bigfoot enthusiasts. The video, titled "What's LURKING in HUMBOLDT COUNTY's DEEP WOODS?" features a host who claims to be a two-time witness and field researcher with over 40 years of experience.
The video begins with an article from the San Francisco Chronicle, dated October 26, 1958, discussing the discovery of large human-like footprints in Humboldt County, California. The article describes rumors of a "strange creature" on the prowl, with terrified road crews quitting their jobs and intrepid tourists visiting the site of the footprints.
The host then shares his own experiences and insights, describing a "demon-type" sound and a "hulking" figure that he encountered in the woods. He also discusses the history of Bigfoot sightings in Humboldt County, including the famous Patterson-Gimlin film, which was shot in the area in 1967.
As a Bigfoot believer and a curator for Squatchable, I found this video to be both informative and intriguing. The host's personal experiences and knowledge of the subject add depth to the discussion, and the inclusion of historical articles and references to other Bigfoot sightings in the area add context and credibility to the story.
If you're interested in learning more about Bigfoot sightings in Humboldt County, I encourage you to watch the full video and do your own research. Who knows what you might discover lurking in the deep woods of this mysterious region.
