Two Matching Sasquatch Sightings Reported on Same Ridge

Two encounters, same mountain, same description — and a family that never went back. A video recently surfaced on YouTube from the channel BlackPipeBobsWidow that details not one, but two separate encounters with what the witnesses describe as a tall, dark figure with silver-white shoulders and neck, both happening on the same stretch of mountain road in Montana. The locations, the timing, and the physical descriptions match in ways that are hard to ignore. The first encounter happened in the spring of 2000. A family had parked their truck along a logging road on Kelly's Ridge to hunt for morel mushrooms. The parents and their boys headed into the woods while their 13-year-old daughter stayed behind in the truck, too tired to join. While they were out picking, the girl woke up to what she described as a chopping sound coming from the trees nearby. Thinking her brothers had snuck back to grab their dad's axe — something they'd gotten in trouble for before — she marched into the woods to catch them in the act. But the sound wasn't her brothers. As she got closer, the chopping stopped. She was standing in a grove of large cedars when she caught movement up in one of the trees. What she saw next has stuck with her for over two decades. She describes a massive, black figure with silver-white shoulders and neck that dropped from the tree. It was tall, it was huge, and it took off after her on two legs. She said the sound it made while running sounded like someone pulling the starter cord on a four-wheeler — a rhythmic, mechanical ripping sound. She made it back to the truck, slammed her leg in the door getting inside, and locked herself in. From inside the cab, she watched as the figure paced back and forth at the edge of the tree line, moving fast, almost frantic in its movement. She curled up in a ball on the floor until her family came running back to the truck. She never returned to that mountain. She's nearly 40 now, and according to the storyteller, she still refuses to set foot on Kelly's Ridge. Here's where it gets really interesting. About three years after the daughter's encounter, her father Robert was talking with a tribal elder — someone described as one of the more respected members of the local Native community. When Robert mentioned logging up on Kelly's Ridge, the elder shut the conversation down immediately. He told Robert he'd had a terrifying experience up there himself, probably 10 to 15 years before the daughter's run-in. The elder's story: He had been hunting elk at first light, parked his truck at a switchback, and was walking the road hoping to surprise some elk. As he came around a second switchback, he noticed something crouched in a stand of snowberry bushes at the edge of the road. At first he thought it was a bear, but then he realized it wasn't using its mouth or paws to eat — it was picking the bushes in a way that didn't match any animal he knew. He froze, crouched down, and watched. The figure stood up. He described it as seven or eight feet tall, massive, almost black in color, with silver-white shoulders and neck — the exact same description his daughter would give years later. It turned stiffly to the left, scanned in his direction, then turned back around, crouched down again, and kept eating. The elder backed away in a crouch until he reached the switchback, then ran for his truck and never came back. Two witnesses. Same location. Same creature description. Same silver-white shoulders and neck. Same dark, massive body. Same bipedal movement. And both witnesses were so shaken they refused to return. The silver-white shoulders and neck detail is one that comes up fairly often in witness reports across the country. Researchers have noted it as a recurring feature in sightings, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies regions. Montana's mountainous, heavily forested terrain — especially areas with old logging roads, thick cedar stands, and remote ridges — fits the kind of habitat that gets reported on again and again. What makes this video worth watching isn't just the daughter's encounter, but the corroboration that came years later from someone with no connection to the family, no reason to know about the daughter's story, and no incentive to make anything up. The elder simply didn't want anyone up on that ridge. The storyteller mentions at the end that this was just the first of several incidents the family experienced in those mountains, and that there's more to come. If the channel uploads a follow-up, it's definitely worth keeping an eye out. The video is well worth the watch — the storytelling is calm, detailed, and the kind of grounded delivery that makes the whole thing land harder. Check it out over on the BlackPipeBobsWidow channel.
