A video posted on YouTube by the channel Horror Vault has recently caught my attention, and I just had to share it with all of you fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts. The video, titled "True Sasquatch Encounter Horror Stories from 1860 - Secrets Revealed by USA President Roosevelt," delves into historical accounts of Sasquatch encounters, as told by none other than the 26th President of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt.
Roosevelt, known for his bravery, political acumen, and conservation efforts, also had a passion for writing and hunting. In his book, "The Wilderness Hunter," published in 1893, he recounts a chilling conversation with a rugged mountain man named Bowman. Bowman shared his harrowing experience of a Sasquatch encounter in the remote mountains between Montana and Wyoming around 1860.
Bowman and his companion, both seasoned trappers, had heard unsettling rumors before their journey. They proceeded with caution, setting up camp and laying traps along a nearby stream. However, they soon discovered their camp had been ransacked, with large, humanoid tracks indicating an enormous creature had passed through. That night, they heard a pungent, nauseating stench and caught a glimpse of a massive, bipedal silhouette in the darkness.
The following day, the men found unmistakable tracks near their camp and traps, confirming their worst fears. They decided to abandon their expedition, but Bowman's companion never made it back. He was found brutally murdered, with the Sasquatch suspected of the crime.
This story, as well as others shared by indigenous tribes and railway workers, contribute to the Sasquatch legend that has endured for generations. Even today, sightings and encounters continue to be reported, with witnesses describing a massive, hairy, bipedal creature that remains elusive and mysterious.
I highly encourage all of you to watch this captivating video on the Horror Vault channel and share your thoughts with us. Let's continue to explore the unknown together and celebrate our shared belief in the existence of these magnificent creatures.
