  • Theodore Roosevelt's book "The Wilderness Hunter" is 600 pages about life on the frontier. Hidden within it, is a story that Roosevelt believed, about a trapper who got out alive, and a trapper that didn't.

    Fun fact: Roosevelt tends to speak about people in detail, giving reference to who a person is and what his connection was to them, making them easily identifiable as historical individuals. He doesn't do this with Bauman, which has caused a popular theory to be that Roosevelt IS Bauman.
    The age lines up, as when Roosevelt wrote the story, his wilderness days were largely behind him. Furthermore, it seems like a good way to get your insane and somewhat embarrassing story out there without sounding like a crazy person yourself.

    A few chapters before this one Roosevelt is talking about an Indian guide he had hired that nearly refused to go much farther into the mountains because of the “ things on those mountains that will kill me if they catch me alone” . The Indian finally went along but with much fuss and only because he was accompanied by two other men.

    • @kaisalis7895
      @kaisalis7895 4 года назад +5

      @Ken Stanaford Yes, they have been called many names by different tribes across the land: Chiye tanka, lofa, Omah, siatco,skookum, tsul Kalu. Some speak of them as "wild men", "mountain devils", others speak of them in a positive way, that they are helpers of the people and guardians, and seen spiritually as guides(not just creatures) similar to the bear and the wolf.
      About Dennis Martin, here is the video where I first learned of this, I think you have seen it: ruclips.net/video/jda0-C5awNE/видео.html
      They mention that a few hours after he disappeared, some other family hiking in the area encountered what looked like a "hairy, shaggy man" descending the slope in a very unnatural looking way with something large slung over his shoulder. Very interesting detail.
      People have also tried to link these creatures and their supposed tendency to snatch children to the phenomena known as "The missing 411" where people just vanish in national parks, never to be seen again, though it is still uncertain what is behind it all.
      My question to you is, is there any chance or point in trying to establish contact with the creatures? Are they intelligent enough to understand intentions? Are they best left alone?
      Surely first nation people have had some attempts with them in the past, there are stories of leaving berries for them outside as an offering.

    Roosevelt was a no-nonsense man, by the time he'd met Baumann. He'd lost both his mother and his wife, which was the reason that drove him to the Dakota Badlands. He was on a cathartic journey; and had he suspected Baumann of lying, he definitely would have called him out on it.

    Roosevelt also once told a story about hunting out West with a companion and one night they heard unearthly howls and growls. Roosevelt said he never heard anything like it before and he was an avid outdoors man and was quite familiar with the animals of the forests. He said it was "chilling" and that the creature was obviously quite large to make such a sound. He and his companion stayed up all night watching for the creature but he never saw what was making the horrible noises. Pretty creepy.

    One of the more seemingly realistic Bigfoot tales that I have ever heard. It has been played out in several movies over the years. There is a great version of Bauman's tale in "Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot", as well as a great adaptation of the fiasco at Ape Canyon, near Mount St.Helen's.

Neither one is a bragger or given to tall tails. Both men of good repute.

    Mr Bob G...........I want to say thankyou. I've watched all of your videos over the consecutive years ultimately resulting in waiting avidly for your next unbiased reselling of what I believe to be very carefully selected true encounters. I have been researching all manner of cryptic, paranormal and spiritual ideas for as long as I have been able to read. All for completely personal reasons unchanged by any opinions of others and derived from evidence of countless encounters do as to draw my own conclusions based on what I believe to someone's very real experience, not to say that said experience is individually specific to a particular human. As a way of the universe having to use shock or trauma treatment as a way of awakening a soul, obviously this can manifest in many different ways, but I digress.
    Basically your content is awesome, your ability to deduct the important events and noteworthy truths and tell an old story in a current and believable way is a rare skill.
    I know life is busy and the time it must take you to do this Aswell as exist as we all do for now in this reality and the effort that comes with it is worth recognition. I feel compared to many I have listened to and listen to and some I even pay subscriptions for, yours by far is the most alluring and all should take note. I feel your following should be far greater, your ideas considered as important and your uploads worth time and an open mind.
    Just want to basically say it is all appreciated this end and will support with likes and shares and big ups as and wen I can. I lookforward to your future content as and wen your life allows u the time. I am patient, quality over quantity every time. Keep it up, you know it's your thing

    Somewhere in this volume or possibly in his memoirs, Mr. Roosevelt accounted that on one of his journeys into the pacific northwest mountains (possibly this one) he was awakened by " ...a high, lonely, querulous wail, the like of which I've never heard before nor expect ever to hear again. It had a human quality, but was too unearthly and large a sound to have emanated from human lungs and vocal chords" That's paraphrased from memory, but it's close. I think I read the account of it in John Green's amazing book "Sasquatch, The Apes Among Us". If not there, then probably Dr. Loren Coleman's wonderful volume, entitled "Bigfoot!"
    Both of these are excellent reads and contain numerous accounts of human/sasquatch encounters from antiquity to present. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone with an interest in this phenomena.

      Lynda I was only pointing out who was pictured. It is Bigfoot Wallace and I know this from two impeccable sources. The first source is a great-great grand niece of Wallace who is a friend and the second is the Texas Ranger archive. Further, Roosevelt was in the Dakota territory about a thousand miles from where Wallace lived and when Roosevelt was doing his western adventures, 1884-1887, Wallace was in his late 60s so not too mobile and probably home bound. He died in 1889.

    Skeptic or not, Roosevelt found it cloying enough to respect the report of the encounter. And it was important enough for him to include in the tomes. Amazing retelling, thanks bg! p

The earmark is called Bigfoot in the UP of Michigan. However I live in lower Michigan. I had two sightings driving home from work. The one was at 4 AM and the other one was at 1 AM. I got a very good look at both of them because my car headlights was dead on him and the one time I was stopped getting ready to turn on another road he had bright red eyes. And the other one was standing next to a tree. However there is so much more that I can’t explain it all. Thanks for asking

      Until hard evidence is produced, the question is still weather or not they exist. I say that as some one who has gone from "Bigfoot definitely doesn't exist" to "Well I guess Bigfoot could exist" mostly thanks to Bob but nothing has been proven.

    Bob I will tell you a quick little story about my Uncle, he is now 88 years old and I used to hunt with him all the time in my youth, mostly Deer and Elk. One late fall afternoon when I was 16 years old, on a hunt with him, he was about 120 yds to my left and behind me by about 20-30 yds, there was spotty tall brush 5-8 feet tall between us, the wind was coming from exactly his position toward me and he was smoking a cigarette as usual being a chain smoker, when all of a sudden I heard this crashing, smashing, cracking, bush popping Moose or Elk coming through the brush toward me fast, I then saw what it was as it parted the last of the green tall branches of the bushes, I had already frozen and took position behind a small tree and had my gun raised up pointing at the brush, up against my tree, as this very large, very dark haired, massive, upright bipedal creature came crashing through the bush and came directly towards me and passed within 15 feet of my position and did not notice me until he passed me by the exposed side of my tree, turned and growled at me as i think he then smelled me or my gun and reentered the brush directly behind me. There is no doubt it was a male as the plumbing clearly stated. I ran towards my Uncle after I had unfrozen and he came out of the Bush about where the Bigfoot had and yelled at me "What the Hell was that?" he had heard it crashing through the bush but had not seen it, and came towards me, I was as white as a ghost, I was shaking and my mouth was dryer than a popcorn fart, as I tried blurting out what I had seen. He saw my state and knew what I saw was no Moose or Elk and told me it was a Bear, I had been on a Bear hunt the year before with my Dad and told him it was "no goddamned bear". I knew when the Bigfoot came crashing out from the cover of that brush something made it want to move fast, and my Uncle was not walking in that brush because it was too thick, It had to have been the smell of my Uncles cigarette coming directly towards the Bigfoot and me that flushed him out. I have argued with my Uncle over this ever since and told him he would never have a Bigfoot sighting let alone an encounter until he quit smoking, which was really just a ploy on my part to get him to quit, but low and behold he quit smoking at 79 and had his first sighting six months later go figure. So my question Bob is, have you quit smoking? Have a plan, Squatch on, long live the Hairy Clans.

Sometimes when I'm out there I swear I'm being watched when I know that nobody's around and nobody knows where I am at.
      Love Nature, camping, fishing, and hiking, amongst other things, and I would hope that my first encounter would be a pleasant one. Maybe get one of the big lugs to smoke a peace -pipe with me then adopt me and become my Poppa Sass! Lol.
