Mining Crew's Encounter with a Giant Sasquatch in BC's Above Creek Watershed

A few weeks ago, I came across a fascinating video on YouTube that I just had to share with the Squatchable community. The video, posted by the channel Interesting Facts About World, tells the story of a group of gold miners working in Northern BC in the late 1920s. According to the video, the miners stumbled upon a shocking discovery while digging for gold. As they cleared away some rocks and dirt, they uncovered a large, hairy humanoid creature lying on its back, partially buried in the ground. The creature was about eight feet tall, with long arms and legs, a massive chest, and a flat ape-like face. Its fur was dark brown, matted with blood and dirt, and it had no clothes or tools, except for a crude necklace made of animal bones and teeth. The miners were stunned and terrified by the sight of the creature. They wondered if it was alive or dead and what had killed it. They also wondered if there were more of its kind nearby, watching them from the shadows. Determined to document their discovery, the miners took some photos of the creature with their camera, measured its height and weight, and took some samples of its fur and blood for further analysis. They planned to report their finding to the authorities and the media, hoping to get some recognition and reward for their discovery. However, before they could do that, they encountered another problem. As they were loading their equipment and supplies onto their wagon, they heard a loud growl from the woods behind them. They turned around and saw two more Sasquatches emerging from the trees, running towards them with angry expressions on their faces. The miners realized that they had disturbed the burial site of the creature, and that its kin had come to avenge it. They grabbed their rifles and shotguns and opened fire at the approaching beasts. A fierce battle ensued, with bullets and claws flying in all directions. The miners fought bravely, but they were outnumbered and outmatched by the strength and speed of the Sasquatches. In the end, only one miner survived the encounter. He managed to escape on his horse, leaving behind his comrades and his camera. He rode as fast as he could to the nearest town, where he told his story to anyone who would listen. He also showed them the samples he had taken from the creature as proof of his claim. However, his story was met with skepticism and ridicule by most people. They accused him of lying or being insane and dismissed his evidence as fake or inconclusive. They said that he had either killed a bear or a human being or that he had staged the whole thing with some costumes and props. They refused to believe that such a creature as Sasquatch existed, let alone that he had found one. The only person who believed him was Richard Wright, a historian and researcher who specialized in the history of Chinese Canadian miners in British Columbia. He had been studying the life and legacy of Abao, one of the most successful and influential Chinese Canadian gold miners in the Caribou region, and had also been interested in the legends and sightings of Sasquatch in British Columbia for many years. Wright contacted the survivor and interviewed him in detail about his experience. He also examined his samples and photos, which he found to be authentic and convincing. He concluded that the survivor had indeed encountered a real Sasquatch family in About Creek Watershed and that he had made one of the most important discoveries in history. Wright wrote a book about his findings, titled "Bigfoot: The Northern BC Gold Mining Crew's Deceased Specimen of 1920." He published it in 1923, hoping to share his knowledge and evidence with the world. He also hoped to inspire more research and exploration into the mystery of Sasquatch. However, his book was largely ignored or rejected by the mainstream media and academia. They accused him of being a fraud or a fanatic and dismissed his book as fiction or fantasy. They said that he had either fabricated or manipulated his data and sources or that he had fallen victim to a hoax or a prank. They refused to accept that such a creature as Sasquatch existed, let alone that he had proven it. Despite this opposition and criticism, Wright remained steadfast in his belief and conviction. He continued to study and write about Sasquatch, as well as other aspects of Chinese Canadian history and culture. He also continued to support and collaborate with other Sasquatch researchers and enthusiasts who appreciated and respected his work. Wright died in 1956 at
