In a video posted on the YouTube channel "Bigfoot Michigan Rob," a fascinating account of a Sasquatch encounter from 1941 is shared. The story comes from Ivan Sanderson's files and was originally published in 1960. The video's creator, Bigfoot Michigan Rob, emphasizes that he doesn't agree with some of the original author's views on indigenous people and encourages viewers to form their own opinions.
The encounter took place in Ruby Creek, a small place in British Columbia, Canada, and involved the Chapman family. George Chapman, who worked on the railroad, lived there with his wife Jeannie and their three children. One sunny, cloudless afternoon, their eldest son, then aged nine, spotted what he thought was a large bear near their home. Upon further inspection, Jeannie Chapman realized it was a massive, hair-covered creature unlike anything they had ever seen.
The creature, which Mrs. Chapman estimated to be around seven and a half feet tall, moved toward their house. She used a blanket to cover her children, fearing the creature might harm them. The Sasquatch did enter the house and rummaged through an outhouse before disappearing into the woods.
George Chapman returned home later and found the woodshed door battered in and enormous humanoid footprints around the property. The family eventually moved out, unable to cope with the unnerving presence of the Sasquatch.
Bigfoot Michigan Rob also shares an intriguing detail about the sound the creature made, which was described as a "strange gurgling whistle." This sound was reportedly heard by the Chapmans and two highly educated white men in California in connection with their own Bigfoot sightings, adding another layer of mystery to the Sasquatch phenomenon.
This video is a captivating addition to the collection of Sasquatch encounters, offering a glimpse into the world of these elusive creatures. To learn more about this encounter and hear the strange sound for yourself, be sure to watch the video on Bigfoot Michigan Rob's YouTube channel.
