Hello, fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts!
We stumbled upon a fascinating video on YouTube that tells a heartwarming tale of friendship between a man and a young Bigfoot. The story is set in a small logging town in southern Oregon back in 1908. The video was shared by the YouTube channel Bigfoot Lovers, and we think you'll want to check it out!
The video features Walter Hensley, a simple man who built a cabin deep in the forest at the foot of the mountains. After an accident left him unable to work on the railroad, he chose a quiet life in the woods. One cold morning in September, Walter found bear-like footprints near a creek, but they were unlike any he had ever seen.
These tracks were wide and deep, with toes spread out more than normal, and they seemed too big for a bear but too small for a man. Walter felt a strange mix of wonder and caution. That night, he heard a soft, whimpering cry like a child crying alone in the woods.
Walter started leaving food near a tree stump for the mysterious creature. Every morning, the food was gone, and the soft crying returned each night. One morning, Walter saw the young Bigfoot for the first time. It was thin, covered in dark fur, and looked young, maybe 4 feet tall.
Walter felt a deep sense of connection with the creature and decided to help it. Over the next few days, Walter left more food and fresh water for the young Bigfoot. After a few nights, the creature started to trust Walter more and stayed nearby.
As the weeks passed, Walter and the young Bigfoot grew closer. The creature began to trust Walter more, and it would come out of the trees to eat and sometimes sit quietly nearby, watching Walter work. Walter noticed the creature was still very thin and weak, but each day it seemed a little stronger.
One cold morning, Walter found the creature shivering near his cabin. Walter gathered some dry leaves and built a small bed near the fire. He wrapped the creature gently with an old blanket and stayed close until it stopped trembling. That day, Walter knew the creature needed more than food and shelter. It needed warmth and care.
Walter spent his days chopping extra wood and stacking it near the cabin. At night, he kept the fire burning bright to keep the cold away. The young Bigfoot stayed close, sometimes curling up near the fire, sometimes hiding in the shadows. Walter talked to it softly, telling stories from his life about the railroad, the city, and the quiet forest he loved.
Though the creature did not speak, Walter felt it listened. One evening, while Walter was fixing his trap, he heard a strange noise. It was a low, soft growl coming from the woods. Walter froze. He knew the forest held dangerous wolves, bears, and hunters. He looked toward the trees and saw two glowing eyes staring back. The young Bigfoot stood beside Walter, alert and tense.
Suddenly, a large wolf stepped into the clearing, growling fiercely. Walter held his breath. The young creature growled back louder, this time standing between Walter and the wolf. The wolf snarled, but backed away slowly, disappearing into the darkness. Walter exhaled, relieved. He realized the creature was protecting him now.
It was no longer weak or helpless. It was growing strong. Walter smiled quietly. He knew they had formed a bond that went beyond words. In this wild, quiet forest, two unlikely friends watched over each other. Walter was no longer alone, and the young Bigfoot was no longer hungry or scared.
Winter was coming fast. The air grew colder each day, and snow dusted the mountain tops. Walter knew the young Bigfoot needed shelter to survive the harsh months ahead. He worked harder than ever, chopping wood and gathering extra food. His cabin, small and humble, became a safe place for them both.
One snowy evening, as the wind howled outside, Walter found the young creature shivering by the door. Its fur was thin in places, and it looked tired from the cold. Walter carried it inside, set it near the fire, and wrapped it in a thick wool blanket. He fed it warm stew and sat close to keep it company.
Days passed like this, with Walter caring for the creature as if it were his own child. He kept watch through long nights, listening for sounds outside and making sure the fire stayed strong. The young Bigfoot slowly grew stronger. Its eyes, once dull with hunger, now shone with life. It even began to play softly with twigs and leaves near the cabin, as if learning the ways of the forest.
Walter felt proud and grateful. He had never expected to find a friend like this in the deep woods. But as the snow melted and spring returned, Walter knew the time would come to say goodbye. The young Bigfoot belonged in the wild, not inside a cabin. Walter promised himself he would help it survive until then, and when the time was right, he would let it go free.
For now, they had each other. Two souls brought together by chance and kindness, living quietly in the heart of the forest. As spring blossomed, the forest came alive with color and sound. Birds sang, flowers bloomed, and the air smelled fresh and clean. Walter noticed the young Bigfoot growing stronger each day. Its fur was thick and healthy now, and it moved with more confidence.
One afternoon, Walter took some fresh berries to the clearing where he first met the creature. The young Bigfoot was waiting there, sitting quietly among the trees. Walter sat down nearby and smiled. He knew the time was coming to say goodbye. But before that day, something unexpected happened.
