Bigfoot Investigator Finds Mysterious Tree Structures at Rattlesnake Point

So, there's this footage floating around YouTube that any serious researcher is going to want to see. The folks over at the Turtle Island Sasquatch channel took a hike out to Rattlesnake Point in Ontario, Canada, and stumbled onto something that has the Bigfoot community buzzing.
For those unfamiliar with the area, Rattlesnake Point sits right on the edge of the Niagara Escarpment, a massive geological feature that stretches all the way from New York through Ontario. It's known for its dramatic cliff faces, rock climbing, and dense forests. Crawford Lake, a spot that has its own history of reported encounters, is connected to this area via a 5-kilometer trail. The escarpment itself has long been considered prime habitat, with its mix of hardwood forests, pine stands, rocky outcroppings, and plenty of caves and caverns.
The channel host was exploring a trail where a sighting had been reported back in 2023. According to the report, an approximately 8-foot-tall Sasquatch was spotted peeking around a large boulder near the cliff edge. The area has only 18 campsites, and the host noted it was nearly empty, which made it the perfect spot to do some daytime scouting before planning a proper night investigation.
What they found is what really got people talking. Tucked off the main trail, down a game trail leading into a pine forest, were multiple teepee-style tree structures. These weren't your average stick piles. We're talking about structures standing roughly 15 to 20 feet tall, constructed from large sticks and branches that were clearly broken at the base rather than cut with saws or axes. The host pointed out that the construction is interesting because it's not weatherproof. Rain and snow can easily get inside, which rules out the idea that these are simple shelters for hikers or teenagers building a fort. The open design suggests something else entirely.
One of the most compelling details is the presence of a large granite boulder in the middle of the pine forest. In Sasquatch research, granite boulders carry significant weight. Many witnesses and researchers have reported these boulders being moved, flipped, or used as markers or scratching posts. The fact that this boulder appeared to be the only one of its kind in the immediate area, seemingly out of place, adds another layer to the story.
The host also pointed out the layout of the land. Behind the teepee structures is a grassy, forested area that would provide excellent daytime cover, while the open marsh nearby (which was dried up at the time) could serve as a feeding ground, especially for deer, which Sasquatch are often reported to hunt. The proximity to the escarpment edge, where game trails likely run along the cliff base, makes this a strategically sound location.
Adding to the atmosphere, the host and their wife heard something unsettling during the hike. A loud whoop or scream that definitely wasn't a bird. It was described as too loud and too prolonged to be anything familiar. Whether it was a vocalization or just the wind and kids playing in the distance, it certainly added to the creepy vibe of the location.
The host plans to return for a proper night investigation before the snow falls, which is when things often get more active in Sasquatch research. Nighttime is when most encounters are reported, and the plan to sit quietly in the area without a fire to avoid drawing attention is a smart approach.
For anyone interested in teepee structures, they've been a recurring piece of evidence in Sasquatch research for decades. Researchers like the late Chris Noël and others have documented similar formations across North America, often in remote, hard-to-access areas. The broken (rather than cut) nature of the wood is a key detail that researchers look for, as it suggests immense strength.
If you're into this kind of thing, the video is worth a watch. The host does a great job of showing the terrain, the structures, and the surrounding evidence while keeping the commentary grounded and observational. It's a solid piece of fieldwork that adds to the growing body of physical evidence being documented by independent researchers.
