Miners' Epic Night of Defiance Against Bigfoot Creatures in 1924

If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, you've likely heard of the infamous Ape Canyon incident of 1924. But this account, shared by Fred Beck in 1967, offers a fresh perspective on the story. Beck relays the experience of his friend who was present during the incident. The group of miners had been prospecting in the Mount St. Helens area for six years and had encountered large, mysterious tracks in the vicinity. One day, they saw a hairy creature about 100 yards away. The creature was around seven feet tall and had blackish-brown hair. After the sighting, the miners decided to return home the next morning. That night, they were awakened by a tremendous thud against the cabin wall. A creature had reached its arm through the chinking space and seized one of their axes. The attack continued throughout the night, with the creatures pushing against the walls of the cabin and climbing onto the roof. In the morning, one of the miners shot and killed a creature near the edge of Ape Canyon. The group quickly gathered their belongings and left, abandoning about $200 in supplies and equipment. This account differs from other Ape Canyon stories in that it mentions the use of an automobile, a Remington automatic, and a 30-30 Winchester. It also provides more detail about the creatures' behavior during the attack. But what about the science behind the incident? The story raises questions about the sensory capabilities of Bigfoot. How did the creatures know the miners were in the cabin? Did they have a keen sense of smell or hearing? Regardless of the scientific explanations, the Ape Canyon incident remains a fascinating tale in Bigfoot lore. Watch the video for the full account and decide for yourself if you believe the story.
