I live in North Idaho and found human-like tracks at least my size (13) or bigger in the snow on a remote trail (Harrison Lake, North of Sandpoint) in 2020. It was in June during the summer melt and I didn't think anything of it at the time. Afterall barefoot hiking is a thing, but being as the tracks were going through some thick snow, they'd have to be pretty dedicated. Not only do I wish I took a picture, but that I looked a little closer, because if I remember correctly they were going up the train but not back down. The snow eventually got way too deep to continue without snowshoes and there's no way a human could've hiked through barefoot. . You can choose to believe me or not, but I'll never forget what I saw because it legitimately made me question my beliefs looking back on it

I'm a Vietnam Veteran and every single American enlisted person I ever met knows that the Canadians and Australians are the Very Best allies anyone could ever ask for. I served on a joint American-Canadian base and we loved them because they were completely trustworthy, willing to give their lives for Freedom, and were utterly loyal! Out and thank you again Canadians and Australians.

I'm from the Stoney nakoda tribe. We do have traditions and still speak our native tongue which many other tribe don't speak there language anymore. Our traditions are still strong to this day

Excellent. Warming up to this video with a coffee. Watching from Kelowna British Columbia. Sasquatch people ARE very real. ☕️🇨🇦👍

I've lived in the western foothills of the Alberta Rockies all my life and pretty well know every tree on the Eastern slopes. Plenty of stories abound. I have yet to experience anything that could be even remotely considered sasquatch related. If they do exist, they absolutely have avoided me and that kind of makes me sad lol. My father was working as a prison guard at Nordegg when the Bighorn dam incident occurred. It had a lot of bush savvy, take no s**t kind of men spooked for a long time. My dad would re-tell that story every so often. It's neat to hear it told once again.

I lived in the Hinton for 10 years and I recognize most of these areas in this video . I hunted and worked in these woods ! I’ve even seen the tree structures that they build . I never did have an encounter but I still believe they are out there . Thank you for all your videos ! Much love and respect from Red Deer !🙏✌🏼

True story, and this is in the states, but worth sharing. About 40 years ago I was 10 and my younger sister 8, we had a sighting. We grew up in the rural mountains of Western Pennsylvania and was always exploring the forest. We were headed towards an old orchard which had become almost completely encroached upon by the forest but still had maybe 2 or 3 remaining apple trees. About 50 feet away we froze, because there in front of us we seen what I can only say was a bigfoot. It was picking apples with its it's back to us, I swear on this. It never turned to look at us, or appeared to care we were even there. I've thought about this and figure it seen us, knew we were children and wasn't a threat. Surely it heard our approach as we crunched along on forest floor of leaves and sticks, so what else could it be? Anyways, my young instincts told me not to run. Before us was a large oak probably another 5-10 feet further ahead between us and it. We slowly positioned ourselves as to blocked our view then carefully walked until behind it and hid. To be honest our foolish child minds thought, if we couldn't see it, it couldn't see us, but that's what we did. I have no idea how long we hid, but when I finally peeked it was gone. We never heard it leave, or what direction it went. I was only 10, but I know what we seen. I had seen at least 2 bear before and this was no bear. This had fingered hands and was picking apples, but was only around 6 feet tall. I don't remember anything else except how it was reaching for those apples. A few years ago, curious about reported sightings in Pennsylvania I was pleasantly surprised to learn another, a boy of 13, reported a sighting probably 15 miles away maybe a month later. If I can find site again I'll come back and list it.

In 2018 I was hiking in the Rockies of Western Montana. Everything is quiet and normal, when a feeling of being watched started to develop. Being prior military and police, I lean towards listening to your gut about something. I don't scare easily - not claiming to be Rambo, just saying it takes a lot to get me going. Anyway, the feeling of being watched overcame me so much that I stopped walking, with a large tree to my back, pulled my firearm and started scanning. The next 2 events happened simultaneously, a loud guttural growl came from my left and a large pinecone landed at my feet coming from the direction the sound did. It wasn't human and it wasn't anything native to that area. I have seen - and heard (on occasion tracked and charged) by every species that lives there. People can believe me, or not believe me, but it happened - and no animal in the Rockies throws pinecones.

Thank you, H.P. I believe storytelling is a gift, which you have. Your content is a step above others.

Always well done and this was no exception. It would be great to hear more First Nation stories on the topic.

Regards from Australia. I’ve always been fascinated by the Canadian Rockies and the indigenous peoples of North America. The landscape is completely different to what I’m used to but it seems to have that same soulfulness you find in the Kimberley’s and Pilbara. It’s gods own country. Sometimes bountiful, often harsh, always unforgiving. It gets under your skin and never leaves you.

I worked in the Alberta Rockies a lot and there is no shortage of sasquatch stories. Also, you don’t have to go to the national parks to see our large wildlife. Bear, moose, and elk are a relatively common sight even in the small towns far from the parks.

Dude you are really brilliant at this! Requesting some more stuff from Ontario!

Another fascinating story collection. Perfect for night time. A Big hello from Cambridge UK 🖐️😜 Keep up the great work ! Love the indigenous peoples knowledge and history. Thank you ! ✨⭐🙏⭐✨

This was really well done. Super thorough and interesting. I'm originally from the Kootenay Rockies so it was particularly fascinating. Great work!

you know its going to be stellar when you save it till later tonight in the dark

I am related to some of the men who had the sighting at the Big Horn Damn. These men were ridiculed for the rest of their lives. My brother was a heavy equipment operator working to build the damn as well. He had his own close up experience, but only shared it with close family as not to be disgraced like our other relatives were. There was pictures taken, but have been lost through the years or maybe even thrown away.🙁

I like this form of celebrating Canadian history/cultures. It's not about what American things Canada is not and how the US compares to Canada, it's about what is unique to Canada and its cultures.

Haven’t listened to this yet, but gave it a like because all of your work is stellar!

Thank you again author!!!

Awesome as always. I love hearing those historical accounts from the First Nation's and pioneers. The fact that they had no reason to make up such tales while braving the wilderness in such a mediocre time period makes it all the better. Could you imagine witnessing such things in a time and place where the only real protection you had was a solid log cabin? Those folks showed true bravery and perseverance.

I was just thinking about your channel and here a new video be! Watching from Kootenay lake!

I'm glad I found this channel, it makes me yearn for times of old! When people were few and far between! Thank you!

Wow. Such beautiful scenery in the snow. ❤️

My Mom was keenly interested in big foot. She took me to the theater to see the Roger Patterson film. I would have been 6 years old at the time. In the later part of the 1960's we lived in northern Alberta, and would travel out to the coast of B.C. every year for our summer vacation. I remember this all happening, and Mom took us to many of the places where sightings had occurred. Never saw anything, but it was an adventure.

Love these story's of the Sasquatch people, and the old story's are the best. There are not monsters, they are not apes. Always enjoy your sharing , thank you my friend

This is one of your best ever, Hammerson! Ironically you make your own face as rare as a Sasquatch's in your videos. I sometimes ponder what this great voice of deft expression and extensive research looks like.

I live and work at a resort on beaver mines lake in between Waterton and the crows nest. There is some strange things in these mountains that’s for sure.

You've probably (or definitely-pretty sure I've seen the comments) heard this hundreds of times before, but you're a fantastic story-teller.

Bonjour à toutes et à tous. Même si je n'ai pas compris la totalité (je suis française) j'ai beaucoup apprécié. Les paysages sont grandioses. Les histoires aux sujets de ces rencontres restent exceptionnelles et incroyables. Merci beaucoup.

Thank-you Hammerson. Rob from Calgary.

It's cool how most of these sightings were back in the early to mid 1900's, back before the Continent went through massive growth. I imagine that all of these creatures fled further into the wilderness after seeing Human beings in such a large abundance. The legends and beliefs from certain Indian Tribes that talk about these creatures are scary af, and makes you think that at some point in the past there was a "war" against the 2 different beings. I forget the name of the man who was a French Missionary who wrote his recounts about these legends back in the 1700's or 1800's, but there was a belief among this entire tribe whom he was staying with, that were terrified of going away from a campfire at night by themselves or into the forest alone at night, because of the "Hairy Men" who would steal them, especially the women and children. They said that "you can always smell the Hairy Man when it is close", or something along those lines. I tried looking it up and I can't find anything about it for some reason, except for some website that's behind a paywall, screw that noise.

Please Consider doing more of these Stories, I find a particular interest in this Subject.

I love listening to these stories before I go to sleep ❤️😴

Nicely done! BC is on my bucket list!! Nice job with the narration, Love the pictures, excellent stories!

It's quite the site to see one of these beings, and let me tell you theirs far , far more too them and far more out there than what the governments want us to know about without doubt we have been lied too on a massive scale. If anyone ever encounters one of them show the greatest of respect to them and they will show it in kind.

This has to the forth video I've been in the area .

I sincerely and truly appreciate your efforts to bring our Canadian History blended together with Sasquatch History …. Thank you so very much. !

I have the luxury of working in Banff, Canmore, and Lake Louise. Truly blessed

I’ve lived in the Shuswap all my life and have heard lots of stories of Sasquatch and even UFO’s coming down into the mountain valleys. While I always keep it in the back of my mind I have never had my own experience but something still makes me believe.

Thank you for the wonderful stories and gorgeous scenery. They are always a pleasure. I live in the Colorado Rockies in the USA and never saw sasquatch but I sincerely hope it's a real creature.

Excellent narration! Stunning scenery.

This was fantastic!... I'm lucky to have stumbled across this!

You are a great storyteller and a great curator of stories and traditions. Good work. Thank you.

You should really make a podcast! Love your voice and the way you talk. Perfect for creepy stories for a scared chicken like me! :) (in case you have a podcast, pls lemme know)

Love this channel. Thanks hammerson. I appreciate hearing tales that come from the same place i do. We dont get alot of that in western canada. Been almost everywhere you talk about

Messin' with the 'Squatch. Oh, Yeah!!

Yesssss!

I love your narration and your stories, thank you!

Yes! New Sasquatch stories. Appreciate this.

from northern Saskatchewan and mid October is the time to bull moose hunt so that’s what I was doing, it gets dark around 7:30 in the evening so we are playing the moose caller turning it off and listening for a hour or two than we hear a whoop kinda like a owl but a completely different tone!! so we played the moose caller again to move around to get warm, 10-15 minutes go by listening in the dead silent night and all of a sudden not to far behind our camp we hear that whoop again so we turn our spotlight on and what ever it was went running bc we heard every step it took breaking branches, woke up the next morning and went to look if it could’ve been a moose grunting at us but not a single track!! strange I tell you out of how many years people haven’t caught one on camera but only it’s genuine sound after I came home I was watching this movie called the 411 missing I believe and at the end this guy in California in the 90’s was camping and recorded audio of a supposedly Bigfoot and right when the sound came on I knew instantly it was a Bigfoot I instantly got the chills and goosebumps

Well done. Great to hear the tribes talk about the big fella.

So very good to hear @Pickle Juice that you and your tribe have held tightly onto your traditions and continue to use your native language!! I'd love to to be able to spend time with your elders and have the honour to be allowed to learn much from them!! Always have wished for this! I'm a British army veteran who uses studies of sasquatch as therapy to help me in my struggles with PTSD and all the other negative darkness which war has sadly left me with! Godbless you and your family!! Basse

You are really batting it out of the park lately with uploads. Thank you

I did a bunch of survey work around Lundbrek, one forester had a interesting story of a family of squatch playing drums

This is the video I was really hoping you'd make. Thank you... I really enjoyed it.

This video is awesome! So much great information in here. I have definitely been to some of these spots doing my Sasquatch research.Mostly in the Nordegg and area.I know exactly where some of these spots are. I’ve been to the Big Horn Dam spot 3 times. I have no doubt one was seen on that day.

This made me so happy to see in my feed! Thankyou Hammerson

It always amazes me when people insist they are a great ape or an animal. Anyone who has ever had a close observation says they are a people. Even DNA evidence says human from the mother, unknown father. That is what intrigues me the most.

The mystery track seems to fit another cryptid, the Dogman. Although I doubt of the "Dogman's" existence. Perhaps both are true. Bigfoot I can believe, though I never want to see one for myself. Thank you Hammerson, I found this particular episode to be my favorite this year. Please continue. All the best.

I have spent a great deal of time along the macgregor river as far up as kitchi creek, i can tell you with absolute certainty that sasquatch lives there at least part of the year.

Hammerson, your detailed research never fails to amaze! Thank you for your commitment to excellence.

Great video Sir 👍 💯👍 not all great sasquatche videos have to have rampaging sasquatches to be awesome 👍💯👍

I THANK you for your time. Good job kid. your work is very important for all of us. We the people .

It's too bad you didnt get a shot of the ridge above the North Saskatchewan at Bighorn Dam, you were right there. I've camped in that area many times. Never had a sighting, but many many strange experiences. Pretty sure I found a structure out there too. Great video, and very informative. Thank you for your continuing hard work!

Always happy to see this channel upload thanks

Very good voice for narrating stories thank you !!!!

That horse like Whinney / Laugh has been heard and reported multiple times. Interesting to hear no doubt.

As usual, great program. I needed this distraction today.

I appreciate you and these videos. Keep'em coming sir. You're a gentlemen and a Scholar. Good day.

Totally enjoyed the video, Thanks for sharing.

Sick bro I will one day go there

Great work on this one Hammerson! Tis a fascinating subject! :)

I live in Alberta right by these mountians. There is something extremely spooky about them at night. It feels like youre being watched at all times.

That was a gooder!

My new favorite series, Bigfoot videos from you. Thanks brother!

Wooooo! Come on! You spoil us Hammerson, thank you!

Love your stories!

Love hearing these tellings of encounters with Sasquatch. I have had my fair share of Sasquatch encounters in the PNW and let me tell you this . They are real .

stellar work once again my man. cheers from the okanagan valley

Always excellent work here it inspiring.

Sorry if anyone else has already mentioned this but I don't think the story of the skeletal cannibal giant was about a Sasquatch/Sabeh person. It sounds like it's a Wentigo. Also wanted to request the narrator doesn't say the Dinè word for Skinwalker. That word does not need to be publicly known or repeated out loud. Even just thinking about them is dangerous. Some may say they don't exist. Even if they may not exist I believe Egregores do and that's not something you want to manifest into your reality! And if unfortunately you *have* gotten their attention use cedarwood crosses, cedarwood incense (you can use it's ash to sprinkle in your windows and doorsteps). Additionally you can also use a small fresh branch to asperge or shake holy water or prayer water within your house on anything considered a spiritual "threshold" (doors, windows, fireplaces, mirrors, etc) and at the 4 compass points of your property whilst praying for protection in whatever belief system you follow. Psalm 91 is pretty effective! Be sure once you've first gathered all cedarwood materials you thank the spirit of the cedar tree and ask it to protect you, your family and your property and bring peace to all of those. This is a form of consecration and vitally important to making sure this works. These defensive methods should work for probably all Cryptids and paranormal activity. Hope this is helpful for some folks out there. Generally people who are drawn to videos like this have either had an experience with them or put themselves at risk of having an experience and no one addresses how we can protect ourselves. I hope more content creators in the paranormal niche will address this in the future! PS: If you can't find cedarwood crosses take two twigs (ask the tree before you take them!) and lay one down horizontally and the other on top of it vertically and wrap red yarn or thread around the center in the shape of an X and tie it off once the cross feels stable. I use a hot glue gun to secure the twigs before I start wrapping the yarn. Those in Europe who don't have access to cedarwood may use Rowan wood and berries in just the same way. You can use dried leaves and berries as a smudging incense as well.

Hello, thank you for the video and I find it very interesting. However, I am Siksika (Blackfoot) and I been alway taught that a way to understand your culture and history is through your legends. Legends of the land tells us not only the significance and connectedness to it but also, how long the people have been on the land. So, in my understanding of legends, Blackfoot and Kootenay (Ktunaxa) have been neighbors as long as time and therefore know the land and it's inhabitants. The Shuswap and Stonies are recent newcomers.

you do such great work man thank you

Nice work. and i'm glad your switching up the background music more often . Thanks Hammerson

Another outstanding episode!

The water is actually "Aquamarine", it's beautiful. I'm accustomed to a sorta green-brown, as I live in the Delta, West Tennessee, by the Mississippi River. Next door, Arkansas has the clear water, they have Rock reather than Mud. Love that state.

Wonderful as always! 💙

Love a new video when I least expect it.

I've been to cootney lake when I was a kid it's absolutely breathtaking

I see I’m pretty far behind on watching your current videos. This is working out great! I’m at work and have been having a hard time finding something to listen to that was holding my interest. Thank you for the work you do! It’s most excellent!!!

Most beautiful of mountains 😊😊

0:32 ", or to shred the powder at Fernie" this dude knows what he's talking about! 🤘

YESSSSS THANK YOUUUUU HAMMERSON!!!!

Yessss exactly what i needed tonight!

Great stories as well as narration.

Hey howdy hey y’all from Northeast Florida.

I'm very picky and I enjoyed this.

I listen to these stories every night to fall asleep. It takes about 7 to 10 minutes 😴

Amazing, video and amazing channel. Keep up the great work.
