Developer's Chilling Bigfoot Encounter at Mount St. Helens - Reported to Police

A chilling account of a possible Bigfoot encounter has been shared on the YouTube channel Whispers in the Dark, and it's a must-watch for any Squatchable reader. The video, titled "APE CANYON TERROR: MY TRUE BIGFOOT NIGHTMARE," tells the story of a solo hiker's terrifying experience near Mount St. Helens in Washington. The hiker, who is a software developer from Seattle, decided to take a break from screens and go on a weekend camping trip to Ape Canyon. He had heard the local legend of apelike creatures attacking a group of miners in 1924, but he didn't believe in monsters or mythical creatures. That all changed after his harrowing experience. At first, the hiker noticed small, strange things - broken branches in odd patterns, stacked stones, and an abnormal silence in the forest. But it wasn't until he saw the large footprints, approximately 18 inches long with five distinct toes, that he began to feel truly uneasy. He took pictures and noticed that the footprints were too large to be human, but not like any animal tracks he had ever seen before. As the hiker continued on his journey, he felt like he was being followed and heard strange sounds coming from the surrounding forest. That night, he heard vocalizations that were neither fully animal nor human, and he knew he wasn't dealing with ordinary predators. Suddenly, something slammed against the side of his tent, shaking the whole structure. He heard heavy breathing right next to the tent and saw a huge hand pressed against the outside, with five distinct fingers. In that moment, he turned on his flashlight and saw three huge figures at the edge of the clearing. They were over 7 feet tall, covered in dark fur, and moved in a strangely upright way. The hiker described their eyes as reflecting an ancient and wild intelligence. He realized he wasn't dealing with ordinary predators, but with something intelligent and curious. He grabbed his bear spray and ran down the trail, with the figures following him but always staying in the shadows. The hiker eventually made it back to his car, shaken and traumatized by the experience. He went to the nearest police station and shared his story with the sheriff, who told him that he wasn't the first person to report encounters like this in the region. This video is a must-watch for any Bigfoot believer. The hiker's account is chilling and compelling, and it's a reminder that the world is full of mysteries and wonders.
