Unraveling Sasquatch History: 1924 British Columbia Encounter

In a recent video from the YouTube channel BIGFOOT! / William Jevning, host William Jevning delves into the fascinating history of the Sasquatch, also known as the Abominable Snowman. The video, titled "BIGFOOT IN HISTORY | Abominable Snowmen Legend Come to Life Chapter 3 | Episode 53," explores the origins of the term "Abominable Snowman" and the various names for the creature throughout different regions and cultures. Jevning reads from the book "Abominable Snowman" by Ivan T. Sanderson, published in 1961, and focuses on chapter 3, "Further Cesquachari." Sanderson discusses the challenges of verifying new stories about the Sasquatch and the importance of considering whether they are simply old stories with new facts. The video also touches on the variations in appearance of the Sasquatch, including length and quality of hair, as well as skin and fur color, which are believed to be related to age and sex. One interesting aspect of the video is the discussion of the name "Sasquatch," which was coined by Mr. Burns in an effort to bring attention to the fact that the same creature is referred to by many different names in a wide area from the Yukon to California. The name is derived from the Salish Amerindian word for wild men of the woods, which may be transliterated as "semi-sok huaim." The video also highlights a fascinating incident alleged to have occurred in the mountains behind Toba Inlet in British Columbia in 1924. The story came to light in 1957 through a letter written to John Green, owner of the Advance published in Agassiz, by a retired prospector and lumberman of Swedish origin named Mr. Albert Osman. The letter describes an encounter with a female Sasquatch, and was written in response to the publication of an affidavit sworn to by Mr. William Rowe concerning his own experiences with a Sasquatch in 1955. Overall, this video is a must-watch for any Bigfoot enthusiast. Not only does it provide a wealth of information about the history and naming of the Sasquatch, but it also highlights the ongoing fascination and mystery surrounding this elusive creature.
