I grew up in the Ozarks and I know Sasquach exist. When you have something 9ft tall with 18 inch footprints looking in your bedroom window you won't forget. Wish I had never seen it. This happened in 1980. There are a lot of sightings in the Ozarks.

There was another child under 8 who claimed a big bear carried him, cupped hand to give water, picked berries kept him warm, much more. One issue this happened in winter when bears are in den. Cup hand for drink. Sheriff refused say anything. There many stories out there about kids somehow lived when should have died, so many miles away.
I would get the kid some blood work. Allegedly, Sasquatches are radioactive, and those who've had close physical contact have gotten a form of blood cancer or another. Their footprints give off radiation and could be detected with Geiger counters... allegedly.
Sasquatch is real. I thought it was BS until three of us were standing 30 yards from one on Mt. Hood in Oregon. I've been shot at and the fear did not compare to seeing this. My son who was 20 at the time and an Air Force vet along with one of his friends from the service all saw this thing. I've heard the stories living in Oregon but seeing one is a whole different ball game. It was terrifying. We did "investigation" over the next year or so. had many weird things happen, but only one visual. It wasn't a bear, moose elk--none of that. It was standing their looking at us along with throwing pine cones and branches our direction. I hope I never have another encounter with them.
@@falstaff59 It is to much to type but I will give you some highlights. Once we had our encounter, it became an obsession for us for almost two years. 1. We set up a fake campsite and placed an audio recorder in the tent, along with some clothes for scent and a light that went off at 1am. This was in the middle of nowhere btw. We left it for two days. We have audio of something on two legs walking up to the tent around 2 am after throwing (sounded like) pebbles at the tent for two hours first. It sounded VERY heavy. We could hear it rubbing the fabric of the tent with it's hands too, along with a few grunts. 2. We flew our drone around and caught what looked like a HUGE sasquatch standing just in the tree line (we didn't see that for months) 3. I live about an hour from our encounter site. One day we spent up there looking around and drove home. After we arrived home a state trooper came to my door and asked me if me and my son enjoyed our day in the woods? WTF? I was confused. My wife was worried because my youngest son wasn't home and thought something was wrong. He just said "I hope you enjoyed your drive in the woods" and left. We got the impression he was saying "we have our eye on you". That was almost more strange then the encounter if you ask me. 4. We were in a meadow once waaaaay back in the woods. We were just standing and talking in the middle of the day and all of the sudden it sounded like a freight train coming thru the woods right at us. Trees breaking and shaking, the popping sound of branches etc. It sounded like it was about to come out of the woods next to us then it went quiet, dead quiet. That was scary. 5. Multiple footprints cast over two years, even a (what we believe) young sasquatch. It looked like a brick with toes. 6. etc. etc. Strange metallic sounds a few times, sounds of car doors closing in the middle of nowhere. Just weird stuff man.
@@PenelopePitstop888 I would say (not a popular opinion) that they interact with people way more and are not as rare as people think. I would say almost 50% of the time we had something weird happen. Not saying it was sasquatch all the time, but if it wasn't, something weird is happening on Mt Hood. I'm not familiar with dogman sightings, but after my encounter I am open to crazy stuff like that. We could "feel" when they were around, it's really strange.
It was only a few years ago 3 or 4, that a little boy went missing and when found, told everyone that the "Bear Man". kept him worm at night, fed him berries and gave him water for 3 or 4 days. Look for it. It was only a few years ago.
Wasnt there a recent case where a 2 yr old got lost in the middle of winter and found alive in a near by briar patch a few days later? The boy said a friendly bear took care of him and kept him warm. He must have been at least 6 today.. i'm no zoologist, but no wild bear will turn down a free kids meal, if you know what i mean..something that reminded the kid of a bear took him, kept him warm, and returned him.
I remember that and was waiting on David from miss 411 to cover that. Don’t think he did. I live just west of charlotte is the only reason I heard about it on the news
Strange that an 8 year old would describe a sasquactch as "warm grass". An 8 year old would easily be able to describe any type of animal better than "warm grass" I could see if she was like 4 or 5 but at 8 they would just say they were in a cave with whatever animal.
That's what I thought too. Children are fascinated by animals and she never even mentioned another being, just straight up said 'warm grass'. Definitely strange.
Except if the creature was only present at night when she wouldn't have any kind of visibility, plus the exhaustion and starvation could have heavily impacted how coherent she would have been hiding in a cave for a week. And honestly. if you passed out in a cave and woke up with warm fur around you and heavy breathing, are you really looking back at whatever it is, or are you going going to close your eyes and go back to sleep (pretending its just a coyote or something) so you don't scare yourself and/or the creature putting yourself at risk. I feel like there are plenty of reasons to question the story, but I can also see why an 8 year old would also potentially not know, or not trust her own memory.
A little girl, wearing minimal clothing, in temperatures that drop at night. She's gone for three days with no food, all alone, and survives. Here's another very real scenario that's eerily similar but with a sadder ending. In the early 2000's a 10 year old boy from South Boston goes to Lincoln, NH on vacation. It's August, meaning the days are very warm and the nights up there are very cool. He got lost walking back from swimming in the nearby Pemigewaset River. Coincidently he was also lost for three days. When his body was found on the third day it was determined he died from hypothermia. Covered in bug bites he had wandered a few miles away from the trail. Both situations are almost the exact same yet one child is completely healthy while the other child loses his life. There's practically no way a child can survive in the deep forest for several days with no food and next to zero clothing for protection. The little girl had to have had some kind of help from something to keep her alive and healthy.
And I cannot believe a black bear sow would shelter a young human. If anything, the child is viewed as food, same as a young fawn. I’ve never witnessed a Sasquatch but there are thousands of stories of encounters with humans to not have some credibility.
I totally agree a similar story happened in Croatan national forest. few years back I lived there and a young boy went missing days later he was found no injuries not dehydrated not starved and told a story about how a bear or bear man gave him food and keep him safe and warm with a fire...
It was probably a man wearing a bear skin coat. Because every intelligent person knows that a giant race of ape-men are not roaming our forests babysitting our kids in caves.
There's a similar story from just a few years ago where a little boy got lost and survived three days and nights in winter and was found close to his house where he went missing. He said the bear kept him warm. Maybe it could've been a bear but occurred in winter when bears were hibernating.
Bears don’t always hibernate, and when they do it doesn’t mean they sleep for months. They are still awake, just on power saving mode. Entirely possible that the beat wasn’t having a good year hunting wise & couldn’t afford to hibernate as it normally would. Look up how common it is for bears not to hibernate, you will be shocked.
@@stanw909 it’s strange but can happen. There’s plenty stories of bears having very strong paternal instincts. As they are animals they run off of instinct, it seen a helpless child & decided to help when instinct kicked in. There’s also bears that only eat fruit ( weird I know) … so it might not have even been one that regularly hunted meat, it may have been more fond of foraging for berries anyway. The wee boy is very lucky, but that doesn’t mean that it’s automatically an impossible story. Honestly do a quick search for other stories like this, you’ll be surprised at how many times there’s been proof of bears doing similar to what’s described here.
Ever seen the video of the bear saving the bird from the pond? Or the one that puts the traffic cone back upright? Definitely more going on with bears than we think some times. I often wonder if some are much smarter than others like with dogs.
@deerichardz well how swollen? She could have scratches for anything. Walking or being carried through brush. Maybe she walked some, but either way, it sounds way more than she could've handled by herself.
Now, it should be noted that Katherine, who of course was 8 at the time of her 6-day disappearance, was also a "city girl" [Kanas City] at the time of the incident. It was her first visit to the mountains and was reported to have had no knowledge of woods lore. When she was found (this was in the area known as the Devil's Den) she was found in a mountain cave deep in the woods. She was found by Porter Chadwick, who was a university student from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She told the papers that after a few days she lost track of time and said she often dangled her feet in the cold water (as they ached from her constant walking); and it was around the water that she found the berries that became the food she ate until she was found.
I was born and raised about 45 minutes from Devil’s Den. I couldn’t even guess how many times I’ve been there since it was all of our favorite hiking spot. I’ve lived in Colorado for about six years now, and I e hiked a lot hear too. There is some gnarly ass terrain in the park ESPECIALLY near the caves. Not saying it was a Squatch lol, but I can’t imagine a small kid traveling like that there.
The most likely scenario is a man wearing a bear skin coat brought her there. Because Sus-Squatch is a fairy tale mythological creature which doesn't exist.
I hope Bigfoot is real, but my daughter is 8 years old, and “warm grass” is the interpretation a 3 year old would give if they encountered a big foot. An 8 yr old would likely think it’s a bear or Bigfoot. Kids are aware of these things
People need to realize this happens and keep your kids close in the wild. They seem curious about us especially our children. If I saw a cute little baby bigfoot I’d wanna take him home just like they do us 😂
A man from a rural dairy farm in the Mexican state of Jalisco claimed he saw the illusive Mexican grizzly bear drinking water from a creek in 2020 while isolated from the pandemic in his ranch in the upper elevations of the sierra madre specifically in the municipality of Mascota
The Throne🚽👑 I hate to bug you on the Throne, but you're not in this stall alone. don't bother standing on the seat, the crabs in here can jump 6 feet. you might think that's pretty high... try the next stall, the *******s fly!
At 8 years old you speak and think in full thoughts and sentences and you certainly know the difference between a living creature and "warm grass" which is a description a 2 year old might use.
Idk if bigfoot is real. I do know all of the animals noises here in michigan. A couple years ago, me and 4 other guys were tracking a deer at night through a cedar swamp when we heard what only sounded like a large ape howl from super low to high pitch for about 10 secs. It shook our bodies, and was by far the loudest animal I've ever heard in the woods. Don't know what it was because we didn't see it. But we know whatever it was sounded huge. We found the deer the next day with its back legs missing. No teeth marks.
Many moonshiners and drug dealers will play loud scary noises in the hope people won't come near their camps. I can't say for sure that is the correct explanation but it's a possibility.
A RUclipsr Mike Jones aka Garand Thumb tells a story about interacting with a mountain man when he was a sere instructor . so it sounds very believable to me that a mountain man saw her and saved her.
I've met at least one mountain man while out hunting, the guy had lost his family in a car accident, and just wanted to escape society. He'd been out in the Cascades for over 15 years, barely interacting with people.
i have never met a real mountain man per se, but in West Texas you’ll encounter occasionally similar types where, it’s like a ranch owner who is alone without a family. Or divorced or something who knows. And all he does is live alone and ranch the land and does not really care about anything else or, you know who knows, was too hurt by his personal loss of relationships to start over again. I suppose more like an independent, gruff, loner type, but not a “real” mountain man in the way yall are sharing yall’s stories. But anyway, when I met people like that in West Texas areas, I was always fascinated, perplexed, and afraid. And slightly jealous too.
There's no mileage in just trying to poke fun at Bigfoot claims. When I was younger, a good friend told me of a story an older relative - I think it was an uncle of his who worked in the forest in Washington State somewhere - told him about once seeing a very large hairy animal literally run up a big tree. I think it was in the late 1980's. Not like a bear, he had seen that a number of times - but like competitive loggers, or lumberjacks do, but faster. This tree was 20 meters plus tall and it took this thing about 5 seconds to get almost to the top of it. Not ending there, after a minute or so, when he moved toward the tree to get a better look, this thing rapidly dropped down 3 or 4 branches, then still fairly high up the tree, jumped to the ground and literally hit the ground running. It went on all fours like an ape for 2 or 3 strides, then stood upright like a man and sprinted off into the forest - and this thing was huge. He then said he stood there absolutely dumbstruck, and said to himself "it wasn't a bear, It wasn't a man - I think I might have just seen a Sasquatch".
Bro please bring back the extinct or alive game and please Peter ask Forrest about the Pink Headed Duck which is found in Eastern India and Northern Mayanmar. Last seen 1949 still not declared extinct. Please ask Forrest about this duck. It's fascinating. Btw love the pods. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Hearing those stories of like, lionesses stealing and keeping baby gazelles for a while after losing a child or whatever makes me think an animal might’ve just taken her and she got found before it realised it wasn’t a bear or got over it and ate her
@@Larry-n4n lionesses have been seen keeping baby gazelles, they seem to adopt a maternal role and I’ve heard people say it’s a response to losing cubs, but they don’t keep them for too long, it either gets away or gets eaten
@@Larry-n4nit's true. Look it up. A male lion ended up killing the baby. Apparently the Lioness did this a couple of times. Don't be too quick to laugh.
Sus-Squatch can be categorized in the same vein as The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. A giant Otter being responsible is actually a more likely scenario.
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 No, a magical rabbit that goes around the world once a year delivering candy, and a fairy that collects the missing teeth of all the children in the world, is not comparable to a giant monkey in the woods.
Seeing a bigfoot less than 10 feet away made me a believer. I know every animal in the woods..grew up as a boyscout and a woodsmen. I did not mistake a known animal for bigfoot. Its easy sitting on a couch after looking in a mirror for three hours making sure your beard is trimmed and your jeans are just the right tightness to ridicule someones story. Now in this case, its probably more like people's interpretation of this story. It does seem like an 8 year old could remember more details. That makes me believe she suffered some kind of trauma. And although this story is obviously not evidence of bigfoot, i wouldn't ridicule someone's interpretation unless i had a better explanation. Maybe you three could come up with a better explanation if you got off the couch and did something more than run your mouths for a living. Forest Gump had more interesting conversations and more experiences than the three of you combined and i think his IQ was 70.
If youve lived in the far northwest your whole life, even as for south as mt hood and Bend Oregon it is so hard to find someone who dosnt believe or knows someone whoes been in direct contact one way or another
I’m in northern Michigan and from just watching a few good Sasquatch channels and getting familiar with what to look for, Heck it didn’t take to long to find four different areas in a 12 mile radius and WOW I THINK THERE HERE, but I invested in night vision goggles and a powerful pair of binoculars and see the Big Fella Sitting On A Pine Tree Branch, Didn’t get a photo but did of a Dog Man because in my journey I’ve came to the conclusion that if you find one you’ll find the other one, not far behind “ AND THATS FACT BELIEVE OR NOT”
The one guy blows off Sasquatch and has no logical explanation. Spend more time on the reservation. A black bear is going to scoop up a girl and carry her??😂😂
There are hundreds of stories similar to this . In this case an 8 year old is smart enough to know the difference between warm grass and hair. If it was a Bigfoot she probably would have said it was a giant hairy creature, man, or animal, not grass.
What, the hundreds of years of encounters, from the incredible to the mundane, the various videos that clearly show something moving in such ways, it's impossible for human to replicate. The fact the proportions were way off a human and impossible to replicate with a suit with animatronics that would cost millions and still look fake. The fact native tribes say they are real, and have been a part of their oral history for centuries. The many sound recordings available that have been analysed. We are going to ignore all that and decide from this one story. To people that already know, these discussions are pointless and decades behind.
no. you may not be tripping. But you are definitely giving into an internal, personal bias that causes you to actually want to believe that someone is telling the truth. A bias which, unfortunately, you may not be aware of, that you acting on or making decisions on things without truely being in touch with your own internal bias. And welp, I personally believe that proves you are a good ole regular human person. Because sometimes it is hard to admit our internal biases toward such things. And it is also true that sometimes, a human (the sasaquatch storyteller) can believe their own lie soooooooo hard that they indeed will actually convince their own self that it is true. These are documented psychological phenomenons by the real, practicing psychiatrists and doctors. Fascinating to study! Though I am not a psychologist nor a doctor, I suppose I obligated to say
@@nozrepnot that deep dude, sometimes people just sound like they are telling the truth, plus you can’t bullshit a bullshitter😂 anyways you can say the same for you if that’s the case, you may not want Sasquatch to exist bc it’s an eerie thought but that doesn’t mean he ain’t real
Rely a bear? Yeah I guess I could see a black bear, however any other bear would have more than likely had a good meal and no one would have ever seen her again.i think it was a Sasquatch 😮
I spend a lot of time in Nature hunting and hiking. They are real. I don't know if there Paranormal or what, but something is out there. I've talked to plenty of hunters who think the same thing.
Not unreal for it to still be a moonshiner in the 40's, Forest ran into one in the middle of the Ozarks looking for the howler what like 10 years ago? Warm grass could've been it's hound dog
I live in russellville Arkansas and north of my hometown there’s always been crazy noises while we have been riding four wheelers/ side by sides in the ozarks.
I'm part Eskimo. I use to have a lot of great aunts and uncles in Alaska, they were grew up in the wilderness. This is 1 time I will disagree with Forest from what I was taught. Bears and wolves are killing machines, especially wolves. All of my older relatives have bear and wolf stories that personally happened to them. I totally disagree that a bear would take care of a child. I also disagree with a coyote taking care of a child as well. I'm a farmer, I know what they do, they kill everything they can. The more of them that are together, the bigger the prey. I'm not saying it was bigfoot but I'm pretty sure Vegas would give better odds on bigfoot taking care of a lost child then a bear, wolf or coyote finding a lost child and taking care of it. Also how could a bear, coyote, wolf or anything else scoop up a child and carry it? And for that distance? I mean a bear is strong as hell, but how could it scoop up a kid, carry it like that 30 mi through awful ground and the child not be scratched all to hell from the claws?
I think it's time to recognize bigfoot for what it truly is, a piece of modern American folklore, and examine it from that lense and not as a real animal. Because let's be honest, bigfoot is not nor has it ever been real in the sense there's a undiscovered hominid in the North American wilderness that not only has gone undetected for decades, but somehow enough to survive a climate no primate has been able to with just how they evolved. I do think bigfoot is worth discussing and understanding as a piece of modern mythology, and what it says about how humans are naturally drawn to the wild, and whatever may dwell inside.
The only reason I think there’s a chance Bigfoot exists is because Jane Goodall said Bigfoot could exist. Also for me it’s just hard to explain thousands of sightings just in the past 10 years to all be mistaken identity or a hoax because even if one of those sightings was real then that means Bigfoot exists. Idk tho I haven’t seen it so I don’t believe it
yes I agree with but that is just exactly the problem. Yours is a theory. Theirs is also a theory. No proof exists either way beyond tantalizing “possibilities” that get sensationalized and turned into books and tv shows. And, we ALL get entertained! And unfortunately, it seems, most of us on either side of the theory are unwilling to say that it is all just for fun and entertainment and unproven theory.
Neither Van Alst nor his daughter had much to say when they first met, with the mother looking on. They embraced and later she told some of her experiences. I The child had been missing since iMonday when she lost her way returning from a creek to their park cabin. "I just couldn't find it," she said. She spent her first night "laying in the grass" and subsequent nights in caves, eating wild berries and drinking water from pools.
The story & her story has changed several times! The fact is it's just a story as there was very little in the way of facts apart from where she was found. There was NO evidence of a bigfoot or any hominid for that matter that was actually gathered to be tested. They have just assumed that since she made it that far being 8 that it was down to someone or something else. There have been many similar stories with young children who have actually just got there on their own & have said so. So just because she was where she was is absolutely no proof it was anything other than her making it on her own with a lot of luck! Sorry to burst bubbles but this is like saying my dog died so god is real! Utter proofless nonsense.
when people give first hand testimony - you cant just dismiss it. esoteric stuff isn't provable - you cant repeat it. the only way to tell - is sit in front of her - and read her body language for tells. there's a tonne of evidence for bigfoot - I'm surprised these guys arent all over the stuff that's in the public domain. The ape lady, the one that lives with them, swears people she trusts have said they've seen, large hairy hoomans. if jane goodall is saying it, there's no bigger expert.
It's funny how so many people dismiss everything about this topic, yet will condemn endless tragedy on you for not accepting their religious persuasions 👽
There is a fact based story in the One Step Beyond series that is similar. A missing boy was found up on a ridge claiming a giant friend put him there. The segment is called Night Of The Kill. It came out in 1959.
Missing Enigma RUclips channel documented several cases of “Bears that take children” you’ll be surprised by the amount of children that said bears took them and feed them berries and carried them far away.
@@StonersRabbitHolePeople have told stories of seeing visions of the Virgin Mary in the sky for thousands of years and I believe that's complete horseshit as well. Bigfoot is a campfire story. And until we actually find a Bigfoot, living or dead, it is VERY easy to dismiss it's existence.
There was that story about 5 years back about a little three-year-old boy in North Carolina that got lost in the woods for a couple days and claimed he was kept safe by a bear. But since he was only three, and three-year-olds can be quite imaginative, it is difficult to know if this is something this little boy just imagined or misdescribed, or if he really was hanging out with a bear. When I was little, we would go camping in Washington state a lot and there were lots of black bears, and one time two little older cubs were peeking out from the edge of the forest at us while we were sitting around the campfire ready to roast marshmallows. I was not only not afraid of them, I cheerfully pointed and said, look there's two little bears over there, and I was sort of secretly hoping they'd come hang out with us. My parents had other plans though. They got up and started yelling and waving their arms, and then they scurried off into the woods. Shortly after that we heard pots and pans being banged down the campground and learned other campers met their mother--which is what my parents were most worried about. But if it was a young adolescent or sow, smaller ones can be quite friendly and not as aggressive, so maybe let the girl sleep next to it, although I find that sort of hard to believe.
I live near devil's den, grew up hiking there...I'm genuinely surprised there are absolutely 0 local news stations from the state of arkansas that covered this story. You can find tons of articles online sure, but none from the local news....
@@oldmanballer5088 yo we hAve something called newspapers and such. Beyond that local legends. I literally grew up going to devil's den and never once heard a Bigfoot story relating to it. Even if it was the 40s, in a boring state like Arkansas don't you think they would want to tell the stories? I don't think it's a real story at all.
@@oldmanballer5088 I am and nothing is remotely local. Literally the only newspaper from that time is from Pennsylvania. Not Arkansas. Not a single Arkansas news company has reported this story in the decades since it has happened. Why is that
Yall either work for gov. To try n cover them up or just in denial..they exist .you can believe that and bet your life on it bro ... Forrest bro .if you'd open your mind and go to a known experience spot and just open your mind and they will show you they're proof...
LOL I find the likelihood of a sow black bear mothering a child completely absurd. Mother black bears are protective of their cubs. The child would have died. Not to mention this kid would have known what a bear was, and rapidly left the cave.
Look for the footage of a Calgary family making a pitstop and miraculously stumble onto a BF. 6 yr old daughter could be heard saying "that is not a human" multiple times. 6 yr old girls don't talk like unless they were coached by a parent. The same thing is happening here.
This is an absolutely fascinating story. I've heard it a few times. Oh and quit telling people how beautiful the Ozarks are. Let em think it's Branson and Hillbilly. Let's keep it mysterious.
5:22 The 'warm grass', statement was fabricated by Paulides. During questionning the girl, she stated that it was warmer sleeping on the grass outside, than inside the cave, which she reluctantly had to do since it rained for a few days. If you would have bothered to look, there is an interview in a publication, with the 'adult' Katherine. She explains several things, including that she just basically got lost looking for the cabin, after she almost drowned. To this day, she detests blackberries, the berry that helped keep her alive. Don't believe anything labeled '411'.
She may have not known what was even happening to her. Obviously she didn't make the trek on her own. She probably didn't know what a Bigfoot is? I live in the Ozarks and have seen 3 since I have been here. Plenty of forests and caves all around.
Look at how well bears in captivity can mother orphan animals of a different species… it definitely was a bear that helped that little girl if the story is real. That time had a lot more fake stories than now though, everything so hard to prove & we have little evidence that’s water tight under a skeptics analysis.
No wild animal would " cuddle " a child. That's not plausible at all. Have you guys even been in the woods? We have Bigfoot in southern Indiana and I truly wish that we did not.
Have you guys heard of Dave paulides? There are hundreds of cases exactly like this one. Children found with clothes on backwards and way further than they could have walked.you explain it any other way.
It was 8 miles and 3,000. feet in elevation. They found her no worse for wear she was gone for like 10 days or so. It was pure happenstance they even found her. If it was a bear it would have killed her.
Saw a story on RUclips if a snake called el Diablo in central America seen by soldiers and know by the natives. They estimated it to be 75 feet long and saw it swallow a cow and eat other men. Would love to see the guys talk about this
I feel as if she did get lost in the forest. The parents say it was just a moment but how do we know it wasn't hours because they were drinking or whatever. Maybe when she said the "warm grass" she really did mean she found an open spot in the forest that was getting a lot of sunlight and she literally layed in the warm grass to dry/warm up. Then she just ended up in a cave and because there was a massive search she was found
@@fredbrackely A small child would if they get turned around in the trees. I'm not familiar with the terrain but I'm sure it was difficult. She got there somehow and if she didn't remember any people abducting her then I'd say she just got lost. It had a happy ending but I'm sure if a large enough search didn't happen she wouldn't have lasted a couple more days
I grew up in the Ozarks and I know Sasquach exist. When you have something 9ft tall with 18 inch footprints looking in your bedroom window you won't forget. Wish I had never seen it. This happened in 1980. There are a lot of sightings in the Ozarks.

Cup hand for drink. Sheriff refused say anything. There many stories out there about kids somehow lived when should have died, so many miles away.

You talk like bigfoot, or at-least you write like 1...
Little Casey from my State NC there’s a video of the story on YT
Sasquatch is real. I thought it was BS until three of us were standing 30 yards from one on Mt. Hood in Oregon. I've been shot at and the fear did not compare to seeing this. My son who was 20 at the time and an Air Force vet along with one of his friends from the service all saw this thing. I've heard the stories living in Oregon but seeing one is a whole different ball game. It was terrifying. We did "investigation" over the next year or so. had many weird things happen, but only one visual. It wasn't a bear, moose elk--none of that. It was standing their looking at us along with throwing pine cones and branches our direction. I hope I never have another encounter with them.
Scary, yes!😱
What events occurred during your investigation? If you don't mind me asking...
Seems like they can kinda attach to some ppl who encounter them, or is it the Dogman that does that?
@@falstaff59 It is to much to type but I will give you some highlights. Once we had our encounter, it became an obsession for us for almost two years.
1. We set up a fake campsite and placed an audio recorder in the tent, along with some clothes for scent and a light that went off at 1am. This was in the middle of nowhere btw. We left it for two days. We have audio of something on two legs walking up to the tent around 2 am after throwing (sounded like) pebbles at the tent for two hours first. It sounded VERY heavy. We could hear it rubbing the fabric of the tent with it's hands too, along with a few grunts.
2. We flew our drone around and caught what looked like a HUGE sasquatch standing just in the tree line (we didn't see that for months)
3. I live about an hour from our encounter site. One day we spent up there looking around and drove home. After we arrived home a state trooper came to my door and asked me if me and my son enjoyed our day in the woods? WTF? I was confused. My wife was worried because my youngest son wasn't home and thought something was wrong. He just said "I hope you enjoyed your drive in the woods" and left. We got the impression he was saying "we have our eye on you". That was almost more strange then the encounter if you ask me.
4. We were in a meadow once waaaaay back in the woods. We were just standing and talking in the middle of the day and all of the sudden it sounded like a freight train coming thru the woods right at us. Trees breaking and shaking, the popping sound of branches etc. It sounded like it was about to come out of the woods next to us then it went quiet, dead quiet. That was scary.
5. Multiple footprints cast over two years, even a (what we believe) young sasquatch. It looked like a brick with toes.
6. etc. etc. Strange metallic sounds a few times, sounds of car doors closing in the middle of nowhere. Just weird stuff man.
@@PenelopePitstop888 I would say (not a popular opinion) that they interact with people way more and are not as rare as people think. I would say almost 50% of the time we had something weird happen. Not saying it was sasquatch all the time, but if it wasn't, something weird is happening on Mt Hood. I'm not familiar with dogman sightings, but after my encounter I am open to crazy stuff like that. We could "feel" when they were around, it's really strange.
It was only a few years ago 3 or 4, that a little boy went missing and when found, told everyone that the "Bear Man". kept him worm at night, fed him berries and gave him water for 3 or 4 days. Look for it. It was only a few years ago.
I remember that happening, I’m sure it was a woman walking her dog that heard him whimpering and crying.

@@lemarch57 ?????
@@freddog4490 Sorry, was late when I replied and was being lazy. Yes, the young boy’s name was Casey Anthony.
The key is keeping worm
Wasnt there a recent case where a 2 yr old got lost in the middle of winter and found alive in a near by briar patch a few days later? The boy said a friendly bear took care of him and kept him warm.
He must have been at least 6 today.. i'm no zoologist, but no wild bear will turn down a free kids meal, if you know what i mean..something that reminded the kid of a bear took him, kept him warm, and returned him.
That happened in eastern NC. It was very cold at the time it happened.
I remember that and was waiting on David from miss 411 to cover that. Don’t think he did. I live just west of charlotte is the only reason I heard about it on the news
@@ben7111 I think he did, but I don't remember what episode. But thinkerthunker did as well.
Yeah. It was a mountain man wearing an animal fur coat. There are no friendly bears and their damn sure isn't any SUS-Squatch.
Middle of winter? I am no zoologist but isn't that prime hibernation time for bears?
Strange that an 8 year old would describe a sasquactch as "warm grass". An 8 year old would easily be able to describe any type of animal better than "warm grass" I could see if she was like 4 or 5 but at 8 they would just say they were in a cave with whatever animal.
That's what I thought too. Children are fascinated by animals and she never even mentioned another being, just straight up said 'warm grass'. Definitely strange.
Who knows what she told her parents prob not a good idea to say i saw sasquatch in the 40s
Except if the creature was only present at night when she wouldn't have any kind of visibility, plus the exhaustion and starvation could have heavily impacted how coherent she would have been hiding in a cave for a week. And honestly. if you passed out in a cave and woke up with warm fur around you and heavy breathing, are you really looking back at whatever it is, or are you going going to close your eyes and go back to sleep (pretending its just a coyote or something) so you don't scare yourself and/or the creature putting yourself at risk. I feel like there are plenty of reasons to question the story, but I can also see why an 8 year old would also potentially not know, or not trust her own memory.
My daughter's 2 she would say to your face scary monster
Lol, just how fucking stupid would you have to be to think a bear is going to keep the lil girl warm? A bear, coyote would of had a nice lil meal.
An 8 year old girl knows the difference between grass and a giant ape man.
as well as a Bear.
Right shes not 2 lol
or you can't fix stupid lol
True. She's too young to be poetic about it.
So then what could of been the warm grass? What’s the alternative if it’s not an Sasquatch
A little girl, wearing minimal clothing, in temperatures that drop at night. She's gone for three days with no food, all alone, and survives. Here's another very real scenario that's eerily similar but with a sadder ending. In the early 2000's a 10 year old boy from South Boston goes to Lincoln, NH on vacation. It's August, meaning the days are very warm and the nights up there are very cool. He got lost walking back from swimming in the nearby Pemigewaset River. Coincidently he was also lost for three days. When his body was found on the third day it was determined he died from hypothermia. Covered in bug bites he had wandered a few miles away from the trail. Both situations are almost the exact same yet one child is completely healthy while the other child loses his life. There's practically no way a child can survive in the deep forest for several days with no food and next to zero clothing for protection. The little girl had to have had some kind of help from something to keep her alive and healthy.
💯
3 days no food is 100% survivable, its not fun but dont factor that in, water not so much. I do believe in the ol 'foot though
And I cannot believe a black bear sow would shelter a young human. If anything, the child is viewed as food, same as a young fawn. I’ve never witnessed a Sasquatch but there are thousands of stories of encounters with humans to not have some credibility.
I totally agree a similar story happened in Croatan national forest. few years back I lived there and a young boy went missing days later he was found no injuries not dehydrated not starved and told a story about how a bear or bear man gave him food and keep him safe and warm with a fire...
It was probably a man wearing a bear skin coat. Because every intelligent person knows that a giant race of ape-men are not roaming our forests babysitting our kids in caves.
There's a similar story from just a few years ago where a little boy got lost and survived three days and nights in winter and was found close to his house where he went missing. He said the bear kept him warm. Maybe it could've been a bear but occurred in winter when bears were hibernating.
Bears don’t always hibernate, and when they do it doesn’t mean they sleep for months. They are still awake, just on power saving mode.
Entirely possible that the beat wasn’t having a good year hunting wise & couldn’t afford to hibernate as it normally would.
Look up how common it is for bears not to hibernate, you will be shocked.
@@lewis6916 Not a good year hunting but doesn't eat a four year old boy ?
@@stanw909 it’s strange but can happen. There’s plenty stories of bears having very strong paternal instincts. As they are animals they run off of instinct, it seen a helpless child & decided to help when instinct kicked in. There’s also bears that only eat fruit ( weird I know) … so it might not have even been one that regularly hunted meat, it may have been more fond of foraging for berries anyway.
The wee boy is very lucky, but that doesn’t mean that it’s automatically an impossible story. Honestly do a quick search for other stories like this, you’ll be surprised at how many times there’s been proof of bears doing similar to what’s described here.
Ever seen the video of the bear saving the bird from the pond? Or the one that puts the traffic cone back upright? Definitely more going on with bears than we think some times. I often wonder if some are much smarter than others like with dogs.
Casey Hathaway
She had to have help traveling that terrain. No chance she walks that far by herself.
Logically is it was most likely a kidnapping and the kid just couldn’t process it.
Maybe the black bear gave her a ride on its back to the cave. Either that or it was a Sasquatch.
When she was found, she had scratches and swollen feet. She walked it.
@deerichardz well how swollen? She could have scratches for anything. Walking or being carried through brush. Maybe she walked some, but either way, it sounds way more than she could've handled by herself.

@@deadpoetz7beat me to it
No, it was his sketchy cousin methman
Now, it should be noted that Katherine, who of course was 8 at the time of her 6-day disappearance, was also a "city girl" [Kanas City] at the time of the incident. It was her first visit to the mountains and was reported to have had no knowledge of woods lore. When she was found (this was in the area known as the Devil's Den) she was found in a mountain cave deep in the woods. She was found by Porter Chadwick, who was a university student from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. She told the papers that after a few days she lost track of time and said she often dangled her feet in the cold water (as they ached from her constant walking); and it was around the water that she found the berries that became the food she ate until she was found.
The whole black bear theory is absolutely rediculous. The only thing a black bear is likely to do is eat her alive.
Exactly
I was born and raised about 45 minutes from Devil’s Den. I couldn’t even guess how many times I’ve been there since it was all of our favorite hiking spot. I’ve lived in Colorado for about six years now, and I e hiked a lot hear too. There is some gnarly ass terrain in the park ESPECIALLY near the caves. Not saying it was a Squatch lol, but I can’t imagine a small kid traveling like that there.
Especially barefoot with all that limestone around.
The most likely scenario is a man wearing a bear skin coat brought her there. Because Sus-Squatch is a fairy tale mythological creature which doesn't exist.
Bro… there was not a black bear taking care of an 8 year old girl in a cave 😂
She would be dinner. Black bears are aggressive and not nlce.😮
It could've been a man wearing a bear skin fur coat. It certainly wasn't Bigfoot which is a fake campfire story creature.
I could be warm grass cause some animal slept there!... City boys!, jeesh!
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 that's right. it was her uncle fester "taking care" of her. this is the deep south, right? lol
@@lonniebrunner483 Black bears are not aggressive, but they most definitely would have eaten a child.
I hope Bigfoot is real, but my daughter is 8 years old, and “warm grass” is the interpretation a 3 year old would give if they encountered a big foot. An 8 yr old would likely think it’s a bear or Bigfoot. Kids are aware of these things
There are a couple of stories of children being lost in the woods and being found being taken care of by female bears completely unharmed.
People need to realize this happens and keep your kids close in the wild. They seem curious about us especially our children. If I saw a cute little baby bigfoot I’d wanna take him home just like they do us 😂

Idk if bigfoot is real. I do know all of the animals noises here in michigan. A couple years ago, me and 4 other guys were tracking a deer at night through a cedar swamp when we heard what only sounded like a large ape howl from super low to high pitch for about 10 secs. It shook our bodies, and was by far the loudest animal I've ever heard in the woods. Don't know what it was because we didn't see it. But we know whatever it was sounded huge. We found the deer the next day with its back legs missing. No teeth marks.
Wtf
It was probably an Elk. When territorial and mating, they sound like a T-Rex. True story
Many moonshiners and drug dealers will play loud scary noises in the hope people won't come near their camps.
I can't say for sure that is the correct explanation but it's a possibility.

A RUclipsr Mike Jones aka Garand Thumb tells a story about interacting with a mountain man when he was a sere instructor . so it sounds very believable to me that a mountain man saw her and saved her.
I've met at least one mountain man while out hunting, the guy had lost his family in a car accident, and just wanted to escape society. He'd been out in the Cascades for over 15 years, barely interacting with people.
i have never met a real mountain man per se, but in West Texas you’ll encounter occasionally similar types where, it’s like a ranch owner who is alone without a family. Or divorced or something who knows. And all he does is live alone and ranch the land and does not really care about anything else or, you know who knows, was too hurt by his personal loss of relationships to start over again. I suppose more like an independent, gruff, loner type, but not a “real” mountain man in the way yall are sharing yall’s stories. But anyway, when I met people like that in West Texas areas, I was always fascinated, perplexed, and afraid. And slightly jealous too.
@@nozrephey what area in West Texas are you referring to please? I ran across a man in between Midland and Odessa that lived out in the mesquites.
There's no mileage in just trying to poke fun at Bigfoot claims. When I was younger, a good friend told me of a story an older relative - I think it was an uncle of his who worked in the forest in Washington State somewhere - told him about once seeing a very large hairy animal literally run up a big tree. I think it was in the late 1980's. Not like a bear, he had seen that a number of times - but like competitive loggers, or lumberjacks do, but faster. This tree was 20 meters plus tall and it took this thing about 5 seconds to get almost to the top of it. Not ending there, after a minute or so, when he moved toward the tree to get a better look, this thing rapidly dropped down 3 or 4 branches, then still fairly high up the tree, jumped to the ground and literally hit the ground running. It went on all fours like an ape for 2 or 3 strides, then stood upright like a man and sprinted off into the forest - and this thing was huge. He then said he stood there absolutely dumbstruck, and said to himself "it wasn't a bear, It wasn't a man - I think I might have just seen a Sasquatch".

Hearing those stories of like, lionesses stealing and keeping baby gazelles for a while after losing a child or whatever makes me think an animal might’ve just taken her and she got found before it realised it wasn’t a bear or got over it and ate her

Seeing a bigfoot less than 10 feet away made me a believer. I know every animal in the woods..grew up as a boyscout and a woodsmen. I did not mistake a known animal for bigfoot. Its easy sitting on a couch after looking in a mirror for three hours making sure your beard is trimmed and your jeans are just the right tightness to ridicule someones story. Now in this case, its probably more like people's interpretation of this story. It does seem like an 8 year old could remember more details. That makes me believe she suffered some kind of trauma. And although this story is obviously not evidence of bigfoot, i wouldn't ridicule someone's interpretation unless i had a better explanation. Maybe you three could come up with a better explanation if you got off the couch and did something more than run your mouths for a living. Forest Gump had more interesting conversations and more experiences than the three of you combined and i think his IQ was 70.

There are hundreds of stories similar to this . In this case an 8 year old is smart enough to know the difference between warm grass and hair. If it was a Bigfoot she probably would have said it was a giant hairy creature, man, or animal, not grass.
There are always mountain men out there that live off grid. Probably what happened.
What, the hundreds of years of encounters, from the incredible to the mundane, the various videos that clearly show something moving in such ways, it's impossible for human to replicate. The fact the proportions were way off a human and impossible to replicate with a suit with animatronics that would cost millions and still look fake. The fact native tribes say they are real, and have been a part of their oral history for centuries. The many sound recordings available that have been analysed. We are going to ignore all that and decide from this one story. To people that already know, these discussions are pointless and decades behind.
I swear there are some guests on the Sasquatch Chronicles podcast that I’m convinced are telling the truth about their encounters. Am I tripping?
no. you may not be tripping. But you are definitely giving into an internal, personal bias that causes you to actually want to believe that someone is telling the truth. A bias which, unfortunately, you may not be aware of, that you acting on or making decisions on things without truely being in touch with your own internal bias. And welp, I personally believe that proves you are a good ole regular human person. Because sometimes it is hard to admit our internal biases toward such things. And it is also true that sometimes, a human (the sasaquatch storyteller) can believe their own lie soooooooo hard that they indeed will actually convince their own self that it is true. These are documented psychological phenomenons by the real, practicing psychiatrists and doctors. Fascinating to study! Though I am not a psychologist nor a doctor, I suppose I obligated to say
@@nozrepnot that deep dude, sometimes people just sound like they are telling the truth, plus you can’t bullshit a bullshitter😂 anyways you can say the same for you if that’s the case, you may not want Sasquatch to exist bc it’s an eerie thought but that doesn’t mean he ain’t real

I live in russellville Arkansas and north of my hometown there’s always been crazy noises while we have been riding four wheelers/ side by sides in the ozarks.
Elk among other animals make scary noises.
I'm part Eskimo. I use to have a lot of great aunts and uncles in Alaska, they were grew up in the wilderness. This is 1 time I will disagree with Forest from what I was taught. Bears and wolves are killing machines, especially wolves. All of my older relatives have bear and wolf stories that personally happened to them. I totally disagree that a bear would take care of a child. I also disagree with a coyote taking care of a child as well. I'm a farmer, I know what they do, they kill everything they can. The more of them that are together, the bigger the prey. I'm not saying it was bigfoot but I'm pretty sure Vegas would give better odds on bigfoot taking care of a lost child then a bear, wolf or coyote finding a lost child and taking care of it. Also how could a bear, coyote, wolf or anything else scoop up a child and carry it? And for that distance? I mean a bear is strong as hell, but how could it scoop up a kid, carry it like that 30 mi through awful ground and the child not be scratched all to hell from the claws?
I think it's time to recognize bigfoot for what it truly is, a piece of modern American folklore, and examine it from that lense and not as a real animal. Because let's be honest, bigfoot is not nor has it ever been real in the sense there's a undiscovered hominid in the North American wilderness that not only has gone undetected for decades, but somehow enough to survive a climate no primate has been able to with just how they evolved.
I do think bigfoot is worth discussing and understanding as a piece of modern mythology, and what it says about how humans are naturally drawn to the wild, and whatever may dwell inside.
Who doesn't already recognize it like that?

Bigfoot gave me stickers for my bike when i was7...joking aside...they exist....
They exist because you say so. Sure bud..
The story & her story has changed several times! The fact is it's just a story as there was very little in the way of facts apart from where she was found. There was NO evidence of a bigfoot or any hominid for that matter that was actually gathered to be tested. They have just assumed that since she made it that far being 8 that it was down to someone or something else. There have been many similar stories with young children who have actually just got there on their own & have said so. So just because she was where she was is absolutely no proof it was anything other than her making it on her own with a lot of luck! Sorry to burst bubbles but this is like saying my dog died so god is real! Utter proofless nonsense.
when people give first hand testimony - you cant just dismiss it. esoteric stuff isn't provable - you cant repeat it. the only way to tell - is sit in front of her - and read her body language for tells. there's a tonne of evidence for bigfoot - I'm surprised these guys arent all over the stuff that's in the public domain.

nice interview but the idea the bear cuddled up cracked me up. bears are actually known to eat their own young lol
There is a fact based story in the One Step Beyond series that is similar. A missing boy was found up on a ridge claiming a giant friend put him there. The segment is called Night Of The Kill. It came out in 1959.
Missing Enigma RUclips channel documented several cases of “Bears that take children” you’ll be surprised by the amount of children that said bears took them and feed them berries and carried them far away.
Mountain men wearing animal fur coats is the most likely scenario.
A black bear cuddling with and feeding an 8 yesr old girl is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard.not eating her ok but thats it.
An 8 years old wouldn't refer to an animal as "warm grass". They know enough to differentiate both.
To completely dismiss the idea of bigfoot being real at some stage in history is ignorance.
why?
@nozrep to completely dissmiss something that's been talked about for hundreds of years if not thousands is pretty ignorant.
@@StonersRabbitHolePeople have told stories of seeing visions of the Virgin Mary in the sky for thousands of years and I believe that's complete horseshit as well. Bigfoot is a campfire story. And until we actually find a Bigfoot, living or dead, it is VERY easy to dismiss it's existence.
waaay too much grown men wiggling their feet together in this video!!!!!! 😖🦶
There was that story about 5 years back about a little three-year-old boy in North Carolina that got lost in the woods for a couple days and claimed he was kept safe by a bear. But since he was only three, and three-year-olds can be quite imaginative, it is difficult to know if this is something this little boy just imagined or misdescribed, or if he really was hanging out with a bear. When I was little, we would go camping in Washington state a lot and there were lots of black bears, and one time two little older cubs were peeking out from the edge of the forest at us while we were sitting around the campfire ready to roast marshmallows. I was not only not afraid of them, I cheerfully pointed and said, look there's two little bears over there, and I was sort of secretly hoping they'd come hang out with us. My parents had other plans though. They got up and started yelling and waving their arms, and then they scurried off into the woods. Shortly after that we heard pots and pans being banged down the campground and learned other campers met their mother--which is what my parents were most worried about. But if it was a young adolescent or sow, smaller ones can be quite friendly and not as aggressive, so maybe let the girl sleep next to it, although I find that sort of hard to believe.
I live near devil's den, grew up hiking there...I'm genuinely surprised there are absolutely 0 local news stations from the state of arkansas that covered this story. You can find tons of articles online sure, but none from the local news....
Rigged
It happened in 1946 so I doubt it would be on tv
@@oldmanballer5088 yo we hAve something called newspapers and such. Beyond that local legends. I literally grew up going to devil's den and never once heard a Bigfoot story relating to it. Even if it was the 40s, in a boring state like Arkansas don't you think they would want to tell the stories? I don't think it's a real story at all.
@@TheLilKon yeah search the story first thing it brings up is. Newspaper articles even have one with a picture of her and dad
@@oldmanballer5088 I am and nothing is remotely local. Literally the only newspaper from that time is from Pennsylvania. Not Arkansas. Not a single Arkansas news company has reported this story in the decades since it has happened. Why is that
Yall either work for gov. To try n cover them up or just in denial..they exist .you can believe that and bet your life on it bro ... Forrest bro .if you'd open your mind and go to a known experience spot and just open your mind and they will show you they're proof...
LOL I find the likelihood of a sow black bear mothering a child completely absurd. Mother black bears are protective of their cubs. The child would have died. Not to mention this kid would have known what a bear was, and rapidly left the cave.
Ok but that's a more likely scenario than an imaginary creature such as "Bigfoot" having any involvement.
Look for the footage of a Calgary family making a pitstop and miraculously stumble onto a BF. 6 yr old daughter could be heard saying "that is not a human" multiple times. 6 yr old girls don't talk like unless they were coached by a parent. The same thing is happening here.
There was another claim of a bear taking care of a young boy not sure if you’ve talked about it
This is an absolutely fascinating story. I've heard it a few times. Oh and quit telling people how beautiful the Ozarks are. Let em think it's Branson and Hillbilly. Let's keep it mysterious.
David palaudies missing 411 and Sasquatch chronicles podcast is a must for all three of you.
5:22 The 'warm grass', statement was fabricated by Paulides. During questionning the girl, she stated that it was warmer sleeping on the grass outside, than inside the cave, which she reluctantly had to do since it rained for a few days. If you would have bothered to look, there is an interview in a publication, with the 'adult' Katherine. She explains several things, including that she just basically got lost looking for the cabin, after she almost drowned. To this day, she detests blackberries, the berry that helped keep her alive. Don't believe anything labeled '411'.
I know about Dennis Martin
Calling BS On the "Black Bear" Theory Because of the Fresh drinking water being there for "Her to Drink" ..
Calling BS on the "Bigfoot" theory because Bigfoot doesn't exist.
No 8 year old would describe a furry animal as “warm grass.” 8 years olds know what animals are and can tell the difference between animals and grass.
She may have not known what was even happening to her. Obviously she didn't make the trek on her own. She probably didn't know what a Bigfoot is? I live in the Ozarks and have seen 3 since I have been here. Plenty of forests and caves all around.
Look at how well bears in captivity can mother orphan animals of a different species… it definitely was a bear that helped that little girl if the story is real.
That time had a lot more fake stories than now though, everything so hard to prove & we have little evidence that’s water tight under a skeptics analysis.
Everyone keeps forgetting/ignoring the 30 miles 😂😂
Sasquaaaaatch you and Tenacious D are real
Turned around and she was gone! But left out the part were they hiked down the mountain and oops that our story and stick too it ....
No wild animal would " cuddle " a child.
That's not plausible at all.
Have you guys even been in the woods?
We have Bigfoot in southern Indiana and I truly wish that we did not.
Hi, I'm also from Southern Indiana and was wondering if you know of any stories from the area.
Have you guys heard of Dave paulides? There are hundreds of cases exactly like this one. Children found with clothes on backwards and way further than they could have walked.you explain it any other way.
I know of no documented instance where a bear nurtured a human child. That's a ridiculous notion.
It was 8 miles and 3,000. feet in elevation. They found her no worse for wear she was gone for like 10 days or so. It was pure happenstance they even found her. If it was a bear it would have killed her.
Saw a story on RUclips if a snake called el Diablo in central America seen by soldiers and know by the natives. They estimated it to be 75 feet long and saw it swallow a cow and eat other men. Would love to see the guys talk about this
I feel as if she did get lost in the forest. The parents say it was just a moment but how do we know it wasn't hours because they were drinking or whatever. Maybe when she said the "warm grass" she really did mean she found an open spot in the forest that was getting a lot of sunlight and she literally layed in the warm grass to dry/warm up. Then she just ended up in a cave and because there was a massive search she was found
You don't go from swimming and having fun in the river to a 30 mile mountain hike.
@@fredbrackely A small child would if they get turned around in the trees. I'm not familiar with the terrain but I'm sure it was difficult. She got there somehow and if she didn't remember any people abducting her then I'd say she just got lost. It had a happy ending but I'm sure if a large enough search didn't happen she wouldn't have lasted a couple more days
All I know is that a mythological giant ape man definitely did not play a role in any of this.
