Unraveling Bigfoot History: Ostman, Boone, and Crockett's Enigmatic Encounters

In a recent video from the YouTube channel Grizzly Is On The Hunt, host Barb Hartmant interviews Russell Easterbrooks, a well-known Bigfoot researcher and author. The two discuss Easterbrooks' book, which delves into the history of Bigfoot sightings and how various events may have impacted their presence. One interesting point Easterbrooks brings up is the effect of the California Gold Rush on Bigfoot sightings. He explains that the large influx of people to the Wilderness Area during the Gold Rush could have had an impact on Bigfoot populations and sightings. He also mentions the Hudson Bay Company and European trappers as another example of a large group of people moving into Wilderness Areas and having sightings. Easterbrooks is currently researching and writing about the Albert Ostman encounter, which took place in British Columbia in 1924. Ostman claimed to have been kidnapped by a Bigfoot and kept in a "box canyon" for several days. Easterbrooks has uncovered new information about this encounter that he plans to include in his book. In addition to discussing his book, Easterbrooks also shares some fascinating historical Bigfoot sightings. He mentions a 1750 newspaper clipping of a Sasquatch being taken on board a ship and brought to England, as well as accounts from Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett. Overall, the video is a fascinating look into the history of Bigfoot sightings and the potential impact of human activity on their populations.
