Carved into the southeast shoulder of Mount Saint Helens, is a deep and narrow gorge, the name of which is derived from a shocking encounter which was reported to have taken place there in July of 1924. A true struggle between man and beast, which would end up becoming known as the Battle of Ape Canyon.

Can’t wait to listen later tonight! This channel is so good!
Just wanted them (and you) to know I just subscribed to them based off your recommendation! Mr. Ballen for president!! Lol
Man, if you say thia guy is good, then he must be something special cause you are the 🐐
That's a hell of an endorsement.
Thanks for sending me over here. Can't wait to hear it!!!
Mr Ballen, I want to say Thank you for posting a link to this channel. I love stuff like this. In the mid 70's I would listen to "Theater Radio" on a local am station. My parents would put it on for me, I was like 5 or 6.
Also I am a Huge fan of your channel too. Oh, thanks for sharing your paranormal log cabin experience. I knew one day I was going to say Thank you.
"But as settlers continued to push deeper and deeper into the traditional hunting grounds of the indigenous tribes of North America, they would sometimes find that the legends of the people they were encroaching upon had a worrying tendency to push back."
I love this line for its ominous dramatic quality.
The big foot along with the missing 411 topics are some of my favorite materials to watch. Somehow, I think they are interrelated.
Omg I’ve been watching your vids for years
Just dont walk up the staircase...
BTS seems to attract other famous RUclipsrs.. cool! Hi B!
A RUclipsr named Bob Gymlan put this story on my radar years ago when he told this story, and since then I look into it at every chance. Good work and I hope to see more from this channel soon!
Love Bob's stuff! ❤️
Bob is amazing to!!! Baumans Story still scares the crap outa me.
Bob has some great content, and a very talented illustrator. Found him about and month ago and binge watched pretty much every upload. Looking forward to a new vid from him soon! Hope he does some more UFO sightings as well!
best youtuber imo
Bob is awesome
I was a ten year old boy when Mt. Saint Helens erupted in May of 1980, and if there’s one thing that I remember thinking as the immense eruption blanketed the land all around with ash, it was questioning how anything could possibly survive tons and tons of material falling so quickly. Perhaps people haven’t been able to find those creatures any more because they were buried in a North American Pompeii.
@@osakarose5612 gotta dig them out from inches and inches of dirt & ashes
There's stories that the Army was using a Squatch to locate n move clans of theirs to safety. The stories in this region from the time of that blast can get very colorful. There were even infamous sightings of Batsquatch during the eruption that has since been immortalized via a luvly tasting IPA lol.
There is leaked information that some of them survived... But this was kept secret...
It Happened On May 18th, 1980 @ 8:33am, I Watched It Blow Up On Live TV...
Most Of The Area Was Buried Under 20-30 Feet Of Ash & Mud...
They Will NEVER Find Any Bigfoot Bone's There...
I live an hour away from Ape Canyon and I have fly-fished every river and lake in that area. I nearly always fish until too dark to see then head back to the truck. I’ve heard whoops and tree knocking and had rocks thrown into rivers near me but not at all close to me. I think they were always just letting me know they are there, although I didn’t know it at the time. It can be extremely unsettling, to say the very least!
A guy I knew almost 40 years ago told me he experienced the same thing, only it happened in upstate New York.
He and his brothers were fishing in a very remote lake.
He said that they hiked for most of one day getting to it,after parking their van on a dead end dirt road, and camped by the lake the first night.
According to him, his youngest brother woke him and his other two brothers up, because he heard something walking nearby. They didn't hear anything, so they thought it must have been a deer, and went back to sleep, after convincing their youngest brother it wasn't nothing.
The next day they were mainly fishing, and cleaning what they had caught, and towards evening, they started hearing whoops and sounds like someone bashing a tree with a baseball bat.
He said they didn't think anything of it,other than a bunch of rowdy kids were partying somewhere, and weren't aware of he and his brothers being there. It sounded to them like the noise was some distance away, and they couldn't see anything, and after almost an hour it stopped.
Later on after they had been asleep for some time, he said that the knocking and whooping had started again, but had gotten closer and louder, and seemed to be coming from every direction, and they could hear sticks cracking like someone or something, was walking heavily through the forest.
Then, all of the noise abruptly stopped, and he said that was somehow the worst thing, and they could feel that they were being watched by something that they couldn't see.
They didn't get anymore sleep that night, so when the sun started coming up, he said that they packed up all of their stuff, and hiked the trail back to their van, looking over their shoulders often , because they had the feeling that they were being closely watched all the way.
So im from Oklahoma, had two bizzare experiences EVER and I will NEVER forget it. The 1st experience was when I was teenager, my dad took us to see one of his lontime friends who live in the middle of the woods in Muskogee, long story short his house was seated ontop a hill surrounded by woods. That season it rained a lot in April and when we got out the car to explore me and my sister, we immediately noticed his two german shepherds acting strange. We followed them down the hill and there were these huge big foot imprints in the mud! We thought it was odd but never did it cross our minds bigfoot because my dads friend was a big Italian man and we figured he just decided to walk barefoot one day outside his house (he never walks barefoot we later learned). At the end of the day nothing happend UNTIL, I walked back to the car and as I sat there waiting for my sister and dad to return to the car, I looked over my shoulder towards some bushes and there! I froze, almost passed out, the hairs from the back of my neck stood up, my heart was racing because a man like beast or gorilla looking thig was looking straight at me! I never took my eyes off it! As I sat there on shock staring at it, it pixelated infront me and vanished!!! Disappeared!!!!! Then my mind was so confused!!!!! I was like did I just see what I think I saw!????
Never again did I experince a bigfoot sighting but my second experience was not a bigfoot but another cryptid and one I absolutely did not believe in until I saw it cross the road 3 years ago, yes recently! Dogman. Im starting to believe these creatures are in fact interdimensional because theres no way!!!!!!
Lol come on these things aren't real, why haven't we ever found hard proof? There are no large primates endemic to north America never have been.
@@DavidGarcia-oi5nt Its possible that we have found evidence but for what ever reason our government or the people behind the proof is keeping it a secret for what ever reasons. I could argue that the mountain gorilla was considered a cryptid too until fairly recently that it was discovered. Also bear bones are never found easily on the ground either I mean the natural elements can decompose anything fairly quick.
@@TrollBot. a very long winded set of lies.
Bob Gymlan told this story. And now you guys are telling it. Phenomenal work!
The opening artwork is inspired from his video, too.
Underrated channel
Excellent, as per your usual guys! 👏🙌👍👍
Yes, these beings exist, I've seen them 4 times as a kid. Twice in a moving vehicle (my dad was driving both times, & he liked to put the cruise control on at 70 mph), & twice within 15 - 20 feet from me, while I was blackberry picking on the side of a highway when I'm was 13.
The 1st time we were driving in northern California, coming from our home in Southern Oregon a small town called Klamath Falls, we were going to Susanville CA. It was big (to my 10 year old eyes it seemed like it was at 12 feet tall), it was running from the side of the road & jumped across the left lane into the middle then jumped again to the other side of the embankment, it never slowed down or looked at us, he (I've always thought that it was a he) had long dark brown hair not fur.
The next time, I think that we were near Redding CA on the I-5, going towards highway 97 back home to Southern Oregon. This time it was a smaller one with reddish-brown hair (it didn't look like fur but more like human hair), & it was a female because she had breasts, she looked to be about 5'5 - 5'7-ish, she ran across the road & went down the embankment, I was in the back with my younger siblings (who were asleep, it was past midnight), & dad was driving, & mom was in the passenger seat sleeping also, I quickly turned & looked out the back window, & I saw a little one - maybe 3-4 feet tall, with dark brown hair, it ran across the road following the other one (quite possibly it's mama) it stopped at the side of the road & looked at us as we drove away, & then it ran down the embankment too.
lucky you
Those are amazing experiences, thank you so much for sharing. :)
Interesting
Such a good episode. Love stuff to do with Bigfoot. But for me, the highlight was that waterfall scene. Just wow. Like a moving oil painting. Loved it, and would love to get it as a background for my desktop!
Here you go, dude, www.bedtime-stories.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Waterfall.webm
As luck would have it, a good friend of the channel already requested it as a desktop background, so knock yourself out 🙂

Is it just me or are the drawings becoming more detailed?
Absolutely splendid. I love the black and white paintings with the rare splash of color to highlight details, making even a mundane taillight seem eerie.
Something to point out between the versions put forth between Bedtime Stories and Bob Gimlin's accounts of this story:
1. Beck's account was not fully recorded until 1967 by his son Roger who informed that the story was embellished from what was originally recorded. And even then, Fred Beck never referred to the creatures as 'gorillas' or apes, but rather Moutain devils as he was a spiritualist who believed them to be spirits hostile to his group.
2. It was Marion Sr, not Beck, who shot at the supposed Saquatch-like creature, but newspapers after would claim Beck shot and killed one of the creatures. Also, Beck never claimed he had killed any of the creatures, and even Marion doubted he had hit the beast with his shot. Roger reported that Fred and Marion were alone when this encounter took place, though.
3. Beck and his company had actually been to the supposed area where the incident took place in 1922, and they had found tracks pertaining to the creatures during that venture in the dirt near their cabin, so they were already aware that something lived in that vicinity which put the fear of God in them.
4. Beck allegedly told his companions not to talk about the encounter to anyone, but their story was out within 24 hours of arriving in Kelso. Despite this, none of the team ever actually went back to the site of the attack, so the newspapers groups dubbed several different sites as 'Ape Canyon' and even posed several 'actors' to stand in for Beck's team, with pictures and everything.
Take what you will from both versions, however, they are both informative and interesting to look into.
I’ve just posted on this as well, Beck also said that he was wasn’t knocked unconscious at any time and that the roof was never stoved in.
You can actually hear an audio reading of Beck’s book in full on RUclips by searching ‘I fought the apemen of Mt. St. Helen’s.’
@@The_ZeroLine That's the thing, so many of the mysteries the channel presents oftentimes come across various conflicting resources. Sometimes as a writer, you need to pull together the best possible script in order for story to do well.
Back when we covered The Boys from Yuba City, I had barely heard of that case and found very few news articles about the subject, but went and did the best I could. Nowadays you find a lot of video content on the case but back then there wasn't so much attention paid to the subject and a lot of people even today leave comments about how they'd never heard of the case.
@@The_ZeroLine Actually Nick, we don't change or embellish stories at all. We just take the info we find online and present it as we find it. If there are alternate versions to the story, we usually say so. I have to be honest, in this case I wasn't aware of any of the points mentioned above by Red and it just goes to show how the original accounts can become distorted by years of telling and retelling. Otherwise known as the "Chinese Whisper" effect.
@@RedFawcett Red!!! Long time no speak! How are you, good sir?
@@BedtimeStoriesChannel Am doing well. Survived a bout with Covid, working as a software developer these days. Haven't written anything in a while, man those were the days.
I live in Kelso Wa and it's such a mysterious place people don't know a whole lot about the storys of supernatural events on and around Mount Saint Helens is shocking and every now and then you hear of someone just disappearing with no trace.
I'll never forget when it blew. We stayed at our friends house and thought her over weight sister had fallen out of her bed that Sunday morning. I felt bad when we figured out the cause of the boom. We were north of Seattle and still heard and felt the eruption vividly. Seven yrs old and will never forget it!
I’m a Washington boy too. Moved to Tennessee because that state sucks
I live across the river in Longview WA and you aren't exaggerating. There have been bigfoot tracks and sightings in places that can barely be considered 'outside of town.' I find it amusing that so many write these sightings off as hoaxes or misindentification and just don't believe they exist. You see a 9 foot Ape man run across a rural road in 3 steps on two legs and stare at you like you just pissed in his corn flakes, it's a pretty good chance you aren't looking at a black bear or some clown in a costume.
@@tense99 as much as I believe in sasquatch but dude when those bears start waddling on two legs I gotta double take and wonder if it could be what people are seeing and I bet for some that's their Harry.
and I really do believe in bigfoot, comes from knowing people with personal encounters and being in the Oregon woods makes you realize that it could sustain them. but I believe there's plenty of people trying to get attention in false stories which removes credibility
@@tense99 Most people write it off as bs because nobody has (at least to my knowledge) found anything other then footprints and blurry footage. Bodies or bones should’ve been found by now.
i have fond memories of camping with my dad and his forest ranger buddies, this was one of the stories they would tell around the camp fires. i also have my own encounter with the creatures
Hope they were nicer to you than them. X_x
I always love stories like this: Bigfoot, Thunderbirds, Mermaids, Mothman, Lochness Monster and other cryptids.
More like this please.
Check out Hammerson Peters channel. He goes in depth on historical accounts cryptids and the paranormal. A lot of obscure 19th century bigfoot accounts from settlers and Native Americans I'd never heard of.
Abnormal Investigation , that's awesome channel u should check it out.
Thunderbirds are a favorite , sadly very few accounts.
Check out the Beyond Creepy channel, he has quite a few of those and other paranormal true stories. It’s one of my favorite paranormal channels.
....And rake, BEK, wendigo too
If there’s a better story telling format on the internet I’ve not heard it. The intriguing voice , the set up of the narrative , the research , the art : it all just flows like butter and honey . These are such a work of art I could listen to them over and over even aware of how the story ends . The whole journey is an experience . Thank you and double thank you for these gold nuggets!
Mr.Ballen is also a very good story teller.
The Why files.
Mr.Ballen goes deep into detail on stories. If you can put up with hands flailing around at each word he says, its really good 😊. Some true stories, some true crime or paranormal. His ape canyon story is much better imo..
Mr. Ballen is the king of storytelling on RUclips, but I’ve been enjoying this channel recently.
Guys I can't tell you enough how absolutely BRILLIANT your channel is.. been subbed for a few years now and have watched and actually rewatched your whole playlist.. just can't get enough of that amazing artwork and storytelling.
I agree!
My third or fourth time watching this episode.
So well written and narrated.
One of the coolest things about this story is the site being found years later. Now who really knows if all the details Beck claimed actually happened. Either from the other experiences in his book, or all the details of the encounter. We will never truly know, just as Ostman and Rowe, Ruby Creek, Cowopalis and Bauman....
I was in the area on Friday hiking Mt Saint Helens, a beautiful area. Highly recommended, especially from the South approach.
FANTASTIC!! I’m from Seattle, totally loved this. I witnessed the Mt. St. Helens explosion of 1980. There are stories of park rangers taking away Sasquatch that were killed in the blast...
THANK YOU for your fantastic artwork, storytelling and all the research that goes into each story. Labors of love.
Clyde Lewis had a former news media guy from Seattle, who was talking about that. Some national guard soldiers found the upper torso of what they thought was a large man, who looked like he had tremendous upper body strength.
All of the hair had been burned off of it.
I also heard stories like that from the military men of that time that were in the area.
One of my favorite classic Bigfoot stories. I love how you told it, and the artwork is top knotch
Always a favorite story of mine. Classic case.
I'll never forget when it blew. We stayed at our friends house and thought her over weight sister had fallen out of her bed that Sunday morning. I felt bad when we figured out the cause of the boom. We were north of Seattle and still heard and felt the eruption vividly. Seven yrs old and will never forget it!
WE CANT GET ENOUGH OF BEDTIME STORIES!!!!! These type of stories are amazing!
That’s tonight sorted! I’ve listened to every single episode some more than once! Nothin better than putting earphone in and letting your imagination paint the story you’re hearing! Love it!
The wilderness episodes are by far my favorite. Nothing beats the atmosphere.
One of my top three favorite Bigfoot scary stories. The others being the Cowman of Copalis Beach and this unnamed one about a Bigfoot terrorizing a family in Texas for over a year.
If anyone's interested, Bob Gymlan has made videos about all three, plus a lot of others.
I was gonna say that as well. Bob does good work.
A bigfoot in Texas? Really?
@@rydz656 They're half Jinn so they can be anywhere on Earth
@@rydz656 I tend to be extremely skeptical of Bigfoot claims from anywhere outside of the PNW myself: I want to keep our regional legend to ourselves, but the story definitely passes the smell test.
Mr. Ballen says this channel is good, so I automatically subscribed!
I love stories where sound effects are used so effectively. It really enhances the experience xx
I remember a slightly different version of the battle of ape canyon. The men went to get water at twilight, spotted something across the river and one of them shot at it, missing. Then the group of five apemen shouted at them and threw stones, chasing them back to the cabin.
The other change was when the one reached in to grab at them, it blindly snatched a bag and tossed it out of the cabin before then grabbing a firewood axe and trying to leverage it out of the hole at which point it was shot with a pistol.
The rest after that was the same except it mentioned there was also constant yelling so no one was able to fall asleep.
Then in the aftermath examination the stones scattered around the cabin were still there and some naysayers tried to claim it was an avalanche that terrified them into hallucinating.
Okay, I really have to ask where this version of the Ape Canyon story comes from. There's several details that are at variance with everything I've read over forty years. For instance, rocks actually smashing through the roof, one of the apes trying to climb inside, etc. Beck did say he shot one of the creatures and sent it tumbling into a ravine, but when it was spotted it was in woods and the thing kept peeking at him from behind the trees, obviously stalking him. He thought there was a second one, but wasn't sure - if there was it kept in hiding after the first one was shot. Far different from the dramatic meeting of five men and four bigfoot on a mountain trail.
The rocks thrown down onto the cabin were thrown by a bunch of high school kids messing around - those guys got scared and fell victim to mass hysteria, it happens.
One reached its hairy ape arm in as well. I'm a Washinngtonian, 509 to be exact. I love my state for the abundance of these stories
@@pietropes1322 lol right.
@@pietropes1322 The High School kids story doesn't account for when the men saw the creatures face to face and then took shots at them before retreating into the Cabin
You mean to tell me that these High School kids insisted on pranking what they claimed to be drunkards despite the fact these same drunkards were taking shots at them?? From when they saw them during the day all the way to throwing rocks at them into the cabin? No, that makes less sense then claiming hairy ape men attacked them. They would have stopped messing around the moment one of them got shot at
I’ve been looking forward to this channel covering this story. As always amazing work! One thing I noted is this version seems different from the story I heard/read about over the years. First, from what I remember it was just two of the miners who initially encountered a sasquatch watching them from behind a tree, when they went to a spring to get water. They shot at it but they missed and it just ran away. Then the following night the attack occurred. From my memory no rocks fell through the roof and the hole in the cabin was only large enough for an arm to fit through so the creature wasn’t able to swat the son but instead tried to grab the ax. I don’t remember Beck getting knocked out as again I’ve never heard rocks coming through the roof. After the attack ended before dawn, they sneak out and see one creature watching them by the cliff and they shoot at it, hitting it and causing it to tumble down the cliff. The last thing, is that the group swore not to tell the story to anyone for fear of nobody believing them, but one of them (I believe it was Beck) broke that promise. Fred Beck has a book about his experience as well. Now I want to clarify that I’m not saying their version is wrong. I highly respect and love this channel and never would say anything negatively about them. Just noted that it was a little different from the version I know.
I agree with you. I’d always heard the version just as you said. When I heard the creatures reached in but didn’t grab the axe I wondered whaaat? But I love this channel too and it’s just not that important. The main point of the story is the same. Just minor details. Good job making note of the differences!
I really enjoyed your program tonight, and it made me stop and wonder when people say, it's a small world. Well, may-be so, until you meet up with a Big Foot or Sasquatch or even an alien life form. The world may-be smaller than you think, and may get smaller yet as time goes by, may-be to the point of human extinction with our furry friends inheriting all the earth. This story gives me some uneasy feelings...............it's a story with food for thought! GREAT WORK, Bedtime Stories, sleep well, because we may not wake up ever again. Signed, Greg the Egg.
You give the greenies too much credit. If humanity went extinct, this ball of “living rock” (An oxymoron right up there with “Military Intelligence” if you ask me) would die with us. It’d be nothing but radioactive dust floating around the sun.
@@TheAKgunner so if the planetary virus that which is modern humans went extinct, the planet would cease to maintain life? I'm quite sure mother Earth would take a breathe of fresh air n keep on keeping on... Why would u think otherwise? Because ur eyes wouldn't be there to see it? Lol
@@matthewkurapka1426 I’m not as vain as you, greenie.
Thank you MrBallen this channel is just what I needed when hiking alone for three days.
Mr Ballen recommended...that's how I got here. So yes, thank you Mr Ballen
I lived in Vermont so take it from me, in the forest you're never alone. Don't forget that science has proven reality only acts the way we expect it to when more than one of us watching. 😉
It's always a bit weird when I watch stories about my own backyard. I've lived in SW Washington state my entire life and I learned new things about our regional history here.
Thanks for this video! I first read about this incident in 1980 and have always been fascinated by it! Are you familiar with the Bauman Story, related by Theodore Roosevelt in his book, The Wilderness Hunter?
Great story, once again gang! With your usual well researched stories and the beautifully done artwork. Many thanks, and I hope you continue to come up with more of these amazing stories. Cheers!
Hell yeah, more sasquatch stuff! Keep it coming!!!!!
MrB sent me here, gladly listened & subbed. These are the kind of stories he started with & the kind I prefer. Looking forward to checking out your other vids 👍
Yeah I stopped listening to ballen when it became crime stuff
The art in this was incredible!
Oh YES! I'm so happy! This incident was just BEGGING for an episode on Bedtime Stories!!!

Thanks for sharing.
Giving ballen a thanks for shouting you out cause I’m def here to stay. Absurd top quality content.
One of my favorite channels that I discovered during quarantine. Excellent content!
Here from Mr.Ballen! Excited to listen to more.
Love this channel, amazing content as always! Please do an episode on the Colares UFO flap in Brazil as it was called. Many UFO’s and their occupants were witnessed. The locals called them the ‘Chupa Chupa’ Some residents were actually attacked and left temporarily paralysed and with physical injuries and a form of anemia. It was so significant that the Brazilian airforce had to be sent to the area to investigate and then witnessed the craft themselves. It’s very well documented. The name of the investigation carried out by the Brazilian airforce was operation plate or ‘Operação Prato’ would love to see an episode about this incident on the channel
Brazil has a number of interesting UFO and alien happenings. I wonder why
Very cool to hear a story from my neck of the woods! I myself have heard the "howl" one night. Never really believed in anything supernatural until that. I don't know what to make of it but I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt there is something out there that defies our current understanding of nature. Maybe a seeahtik, maybe something else I'd be willing to accept just about any explanation after hearing that sound that night.
Thanks again BTS. Best there is!
I was basically raised in the deep mountains. Everyone I know has stories of odd shit like that out there. I once heard very similar noises to the famous Sierra recordings from the Missing 411 documentary while camping pretty deep into the wilderness.
We have skookum in my state, they travel through Canada, Washington, and Idaho
Who here from Mr. Ballen?? This guy is like an English accented Mr. Ballen. Mr. Ballen has told many stories about people seeing beings like this in this area, or children disappearing in this area, people being chased by such beings…makes you wonder if it’s these warriors they’re seeing? Great content! Really enjoying it!
11:30 "Running as fast as they could in the direction of Kelso".
Understatement of the century...🤣🤣😂
I've come across these stories several times before but will always watch a Bedtime Stories presentation of any tale. BTS could even take something like The Sound of Music and make it frightening, sinister and eerie. And I would watch it.
Bedtime, your videos are amazing! The detail & drawings shows just how talented you are! This story is crazy if you ever hear it described I came across a word of mouth from a family member & it was truly terrifying.
What a great Sunday... With BTS sharing another video,!
Fascinating. I am a former state park naturalist in kentucky and there is so much more in our state that would be perfect for your channel.
My all time favorite channel! Thank you for all the amazing content you guys put out! So well done 👏
Mine is Beyond Creepy.
In case anyone is interested there is actually a video on RUclips of a 1966 interview were Fred Beck is interviewed about the incident by Roger Patterson the man who filmed Bigfoot
Thank you for this iupload ,this has to be one my Favorite stories .
First off, EXCELLENT channel! Went back and watched most of your videos (not caught up yet). One thing I noticed (and appreciate a lot) is the consistency in the way your videos are made (if it ain't broke don't fix it). In today's video (published 8/14/22) the picture of the beast holding a boulder over his head with a full moon behind it, would've made an amazing album cover for several metal bands back in the 80's! Thank You for sharing your talent with us!!😁😎
The artwork on this channel never ceases to amaze me. Another great story! Thanks 👍
The description of the Seeahtik at the beginning of the video resembles quite a lot the original predator from the 80's: tall, strong, being able to camouflage, imitate every sound of their prey... Wonders if there were any inspiration taken from this tales for the movies
It could be possible. It depends on if the director/screenwriter grew up in the area. If they did then they probably heard whispers about the Seeahtik in the community which probably in turn inspired them to incorporate elements into the predator.
This was absolutely perfect. The animation, your voice and pacing, the background music, the editing -all of it was SO well done. Excellent work!
The animation makes these stories fun to watch and really helps.
Please do more Sasquatch related videos! It’s fascinating because they 100% exist! P.S. you guys are the best at making these kind of videos. Super fresh looking!
You should check out a channel called Beyond Creepy, that's my favorite.
This is my favorite Bigfoot account. It has all the trappings of a movie that I’m surprised that no one has made one around it yet.
Bedtime Stories is my fave. Followed by Beyond Creepy and Wartime Stories.
MrBallen pointed me towards this channel and im so glad he did, please keep this channel alive !
Another great story. I will have to look back at some of their older ones again because since then a handful of them have been explained away such as a the mass suicide of the Burari family, the Dyatlov Pass incident. The one that really grips me is The Boys From Yuba City. There have been some interesting theories based on what happened and the clues found along the site but there has never been anything conclusive or even an explanation that most can agree on.
Explanations I don’t buy
Always amped up for new vid best story telling and art work in all of youtube 😎🤟
Welcome back, I've missed you this last few weeks. Is this the same Mount Saint Helens which blew it's top a couple of decades or so back? I'd come across this story, in brief form on another site, but you bring it to life very well - particularly loved the animated 'valley with waterfall' scene.
I really enjoy getting to listen to these stories of real people and supernatural things happening around our planet. Keep it up
BedTime Stories!!!!!
Just saw this link from ballen and have to say I'm already impressed 👍😁
They are AMAZING. You gotta listen to their Skinwalker Ranch story
@@MrBallen thank you ballen and thank you for your service
Amazing episode!!! You should look into covering "Baumans Story" as told by Theodore Roosevelt. President, naturalist, avid hunter and author. It's an outright terrifying bigfoot account and 1 I believe is absolutely factual.
In Black Mountain right? Read that in one of Nick Redfern’s book title “Monster Quest”
If it scared teddy then it was the real shit
@@guiramos3733 watch Bob Gymlan....Baumans Story. He's an amazing RUclipsr and story teller.
@@bigstretchdaddy Thank you brother, will do 🫡
@@dilophosaursniper5399 When I first read that story I’m not kidding: it sent chills down my spine
I'm saving this for bedtime but this is probably the best paranormal/Sasquatch encounter ever!
First time listener…awesome story! I wouldn’t have known you existed except Mr. Ballen gave you a shout out and I love his channel….so glad he did can’t wait to check out more of your videos.
Oh wow, you make a story of the legendary and historically true Ape Canyon story! This incident is one of the credible Bigfoot sightings and you finally did it!!!!XD
“Hey, I hear we’re going to Ape Canyon.”
“Yeah, to battle a giant ape. I wish we were going to Candy Apple Canyon instead.”
“Candy Apple Canyon? What do they got there?”
“Apes. But they’re not so big…”
He can talk, he can talk ... I can sing!
This is one of the few stories I've heard of, but not in this detail. Very wonderful!
Oh heck yes! This story is a classic!!!
I've heard this encounter retold, I don't even know how many times, but this is the first time I have heard mention of the Sasquatch actually breaking holes through the cabin. Or of Fred Beck getting hit in the head with a rock, or any rocks making it inside the cabin.
None of that happened, it was a later embellishment.
Fred Beck gave his first hand account to his son in 1967 who wrote it down in a book called ‘I fought the apemen of Mt. St. Helen’s’ - well, I say book but it was more of a pamphlet.
If you search the name on RUclips there is a full audio reading of it, it’s about an hour long.
Fred himself said that the cabin had no windows, that they were asleep when the attack started, they certainly hadn’t prepared for it. The roof never caved in, though some smaller debris did come down the chimney, and, whilst he heard he’d been knocked unconscious that never happened.
Worth a listen 👍🏻
You are the best channel on this platform.
LONG LIVE BEDTIME STORIES...
-From a Chicagoland friend
Have u seen all the other channels?
@@d1user Most of the major ones...who do you think contends with this team's pillars of:
1. novel research/topic selection (see video library)
2. Unparalleled art quality (aside from Bob Gylman's main illustrator)
3. Flawless use of narration, editing, and NOT wasting audience time.
4. Upload Frequency is strong.
So yea, I have seen them. Most. And like I said, B.S. is #1 (maybe co-equal with Dark 5 and Top 5....artwise=B stories)
@@BooksofHighStrangeness stop chatting sht
We love this channel! Unique art style, great stories and an awesome accompaniment book! Always will recommend!
I seen this subject before and I'm glad you're covering it as well. Fascinating story.
Bedtime Stories do you remember when you made the Kenny Veach episode? Because I think I've just come up with a theory that might solve the disappearance and I have a very good about who Lemi Kilmister really is
Every time I hear this story, there seems to be new embellishments to the original account which I first heard over 50 years ago.
When I first read the original account long ago there was a black and white photo of Fred Beck and his appearance reminded me of the character Grandpa on Hee Haw, so if you ever watched Hee Haw and knew who the Grandpa character was, this might give you an idea of what Fred Beck actually looked like.
Just for the record, this account has deviated quite far from the original story.
Yep.
Yeah, I don't remember a hole being smashed through the roof in older tellings
Great video, thanks for the update.
Always excited when a new bedtime stories is released!
I would love to know the truth behind these stories. I use to go fishing on foot through the swamps in central Georgia and I swear I have had close encounters with the skunk ape, and that is after going through every logical explanation, and speaking to the local Fish and Game authorities.
Late, but can you describe your encounter?
People keep asking “is Bigfoot real?”
I ask: Do we REALLY want to find out?
Absolutely, of course. Why wouldn't you want to know?
The obvious answer is no, Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Abominable Snowman isn't real. but it's fun to imagine.
Good point. If there are Sasquatches out there I would give them plenty of space. You probably don’t want to mess with them.
Wouldn't u be curious to know we're not the only surviving humanoid species... I think a primitive nocturnal species could still exist...
i''m from washington and ape canyon is one of my favorite "legends" we have. big hype for this vid!
Great work on this one, guys. Superb!
Another amazing tale from Bedtime Stories!
If you’re thinking about what to cover next, have you ever taken on Mokele-mbembe, or any of the “living dinosaur” stories like the Thunderbird?
I’m born and raised backwoods of St Helens. Over the decades, I have seen WHAT MAY HAVE BEEN a tiny baby Bigfoot and another time I SEEN A Bigfoot well over 9 feet! and Ii semi-seen a 5 1/2 to 6 foot Bigfoot...that my dogs (that hated Bigfoots) chased for almost two miles!
"He said it was just a name...........What he actually means is Ape Canyon is actually a peninsula"
Yet another awesome video, thanks guys :D
Is there an emoticon for a chef's kiss. The artwork and storytelling in this episode is beyond brilliant.
14:10 The YMCA story pushes credulity. Given the role gunfire plays in the tale its odd that the supposed pranksters would persist despite the danger to their lives. Honestly, I'm not sure if the Ape Canyon story should be believed either; I just think Beck and his associates are more likely to be the perpetrators of a hoax than the victims of one. But it's a fun yarn to hear either way.
I guess you could say they were some real “STONERS”
Mrballen sent me here and I'm glad he did...good stuff
I love this channel. I would love for you to narrate more alien-related stories such as the Shag Harbour UFO incident, the Todmorden UFO incident, the Travis Walton abduction and the Betty and Barney Hill abduction.
