It's not weird it's a sad but beautiful story. Thank you for sharing it.

Not weird/ “familiar”

If more people believe something maybe it becomes more real? So I believe in your link to your husband. Hope it just got a little bit more real.

Not weird whatsoever. Hope it's a peaceful calming experience

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your husband sounds like a really great guy. I’m gutted he passed so young. 🌹

Yaaaaaaasssssss!!!!!!

I second that plea!

Yes! And go back to that spot in Alaska where you had your encounter, Les. 👍🏻

@@jammer1962 he can't it was a restricted area I'm pretty sure but that would be awesome

He is wasting time trying to find big foot. They are hidden in a realm we can't see or go into. Sasquatch lives in the spirit world. A higher dimension.

Go to Sylvanic Bigfoot. Les did 3 or 4 shows with Todd. He will show you actual Bigfoot. I hope Les is going to say what he did on those shows. He was a believer.

Going to check that out!

Too true

That's that creepy something is watching you feeling. Felt that outside of manning park..last summer.

I live right outside of Philly and when it's dark at night and I can't see just outside of my driveway I feel like I'm being watched. I can't imagine being out in some real woods.

You've felt that way because of your brain's innate defence against what it can't process. It's natural to be afraid of the dark, because that's where nocturnal predators live. And because we can't see in the dark. Even if you bring light, you're unable to see beyond the light into that surrounding oppressive dark. Where every little sound in that dead silence causes your brain to go on high alert. Every little minute rustle that you'd never hear during the day (usually just a mouse scurrying around your tent), causes that heightened sense of awareness. And yes, even the sound of a moose quietly walking through camp sounds like something ominous if you don't look to see that it's just a moose. Even along a trail. It's not big foot. It's fear. Rational or not, that's how people are wired. For those who are able to transcend that fear, there is no big foot, because there is no irrational need to explain what they can't see. It's no different than a god being a construct to explain what people can't explain simply because they don't have the knowledge. And then myths like this turn into a culture of trying to turn it into reality, because there's another thing people experience: that's the need to feel like they're part of something larger than the rest of society can possibly be aware of. It makes them feel like they know something that only a select few "know", and therefore feel accepted into that niche community. You can accept that and learn that it's literally all in your head, or just keep dwelling in the nonsense. Fortunately, this is a harmless nonsense.

Humans are still afraid of the dark even when they are adults as your comment shows.

Except there were no facts at all. Nor have there ever been, thus a lot of what he says is just down right ignorant.

@@TheRealHaans Are you calling him ignorant for not drawing a conclusion based on what was in this film? The facts are what he did - and the observed results. There were no conclusions.

@@lisagauvin 100% agree

What facts ???

@@JohnMelland , I like to tell people, this, do you think your going to go straight up to a sasquatch and shake his hand, give him food , or even just stand face to face, no. If they come around you, then yes you may see them, the skeptics are people who never seen one before

Les has to do at least one new episode, because he has to go back up that mountain to get his audio recorder that he left behind!

@@hunter35474 I thought his crew picked it up.

@@SoloHiker1 I though he said in the video that he left it on the mountain and would have to go back up to get it.

@@hunter35474 What would be on it? I want to know!

@@rockwellrhodes7703 aw, you’re so cute when you try to sound tough 🦑

Les wasn't running a "Debunking Todd" show. He talked to a bunch of bigfoot "experts," took their advice, and tried to figure things out on his own. Why would you immediately get antagonistic with some random person just to start drama?

@@SnailHatan but... but... he knows gun words and how much elephants weigh

@@rockwellrhodes7703 You seem to know a lot about bath houses.

​@@SnailHatan reality bites 😳

Thanks for sharing that. Be nice if you ever go back -- to take a video camera and document what you saw, where, how, etc. Then, post on UKposts. Everyone be interested.

Amazing story...Thanks for sharing and please do go back and show us what took place that day back 47 plus Yrs ago!

I'm not sure weather less actually believes in bigfoot what I Have watched he says he's a skeptic but he's had some things happen in the woods but I don't think he believes! Go to ( how to hunt.) On UKposts or not you he reads peoples encounters it's up to you

I've gone to grouse hundreds of times growing up in the area, but I'm younger and know grouse as being heavily trafficked and modernized. We're things different back then? Because if so I could definitely picture that being a perfect habitat for a primate looking to remain unknown. But that's an incredible story and being from BC I have heard plenty of Sasquatch stories that I can say came from reliable sources. I would tell people that are skeptics to come up to the Pacific Northwest and tell me how you feel after, has truly untouched wilderness where a whole host of things could be living.

Yeah and also waters wet.

@@snavisTM I see you wearing your pokemon outfit.

@Alex ... Yeah, agree with you ... from your Friends across the Pond ...

@@scentlessapprentice88 cheers 🍻

@@PoeLemic cheers mate! From your mate across the pond 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A whole team should be on that mountain for a month recording everything with drones and infrared. This evidence merits a lot of research

Why? To waste more of his time?

@@dillfunk9479 You don't need all that. All you need is someone with skill and level head just like Les. He's probably the best bigfoot researcher that I have seen.

@@BlakeBlackstone has to be the best, he's not leaning yes its real or no its fake he's leaning lets find out.

@@ssuuppeerrbbooyy Vaush sub spotted, opinion discarded

Even if he's lying , I don't care ......???? WTF , that is a very interesting perspective. And there are a lot of disturbing people with dedicated twisted passions in this world

@@mikeandrews1899 yeah, Les Stroud is completely void of ANY logic. he literally says "what do you got for me?". well, what do we have for Santa Clause? what do we have for Vampires? if Les Stroud takes what someone "has for him" regardless of whether they're lying, then this is an incredibly vulernable mindset to being exploited.

Yes, Second that suggestion !!!

Right?! It didn’t come off as staged or faked or exxagerated

fake and shouting to make an excuse for such bad footage. typical for every piece of "bigfoot" evidence -.-

What makes u belive the dont exist?

Humans, created nuclear weapons… so as a species, while we may be advanced with technology, we tend to be pretty darn stupid as a species as well. Let alone the fact that most people couldn’t survive more than a week if we suddenly lost all of the technology we use to survive daily now (like food production, water, heat, cooling etc)

@@BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy Not incorrect, but not really relevant to this conversation.

he could do episodes in South Africa on the otang and some in Australia on the Yowies and the Brown Jacks.

Yep, someone commented on the original video but I don't think Les had seen the comment. Sleep paralysis in itself is a pretty strange phenomenon. I told a friend about the experience I had and she was quite unsettled. I guess in Korean culture there is a strong connection between sleep paralysis and the spirit world and she called me a name they have for people who experience it. Had never heard of sleep paralysis before then. That night, had one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Did some googling, decided to not sleep on my back anymore and haven't had an episode since. Scientists now know there is a strong correlation between poor sleep habits and sleep paralysis. Doesn't explain the commonality of the experiences people share. In Korean, the term for sleep paralysis directly translates to "being pressed down by something scary in a dream." Nice little toaster btw.

Licensed Healthcare Provider here: What he is describing is 100% aligned with clinical sleep paralysis… one of the most bizarre and scary things that can happen to a person in a bed, let alone in the wilderness, in Sasquatch / Grizzly country, in pitch black conditions, secluded, on top of a mountain, with no realistic help to be had. 😅

It's also in my experience one of the first steps towards lucid dreaming. First time I experienced it was I 'woke up' and noticed something was different in my room and couldn't move. I said, "Wake up." and 'woke up' and something was still off. I remember feeling panicked and said, "WAKE UP!" and 'woke up' and at that point knew I was still not awake and freaked out and screamed, "WAKE UP!" and then woke for real fairly sweaty. The next time it occurred I said, "Hey I'm dreaming. Well let's have some fun." At this point you can fly (my favorite), fight monsters like Iron man, conjure up different things, go 'hook up' with someone in the 'world'. It starts out very similar to your home, but things are different, and you know right away, "YES I'm lucid dreaming!" It is a real thing and frightening at first. That said, it comes and goes - I do believe it to be a form of hallucination because you still have regular dreams that you don't interact with but ever since I remember almost all my dreams and never have sleep paralysis anymore (did have it prior to this time to time). Other times if I encounter like creatures/bugs or a traumatic dream I just say aloud, "Oh this is a dream" in the dream itself and either go with it or then immediately wake up but not upset/screaming/traumatized like normal people after a nightmare would be. Anyway, it sounds cheesy, but you can easily Google it and read about it. I find it most often happens when I'm VEEEERY tired or haven't slept well recently. Lack of sleep can put you in a bit of a hallucinogenic state anyway.

Man, I always only get paralyzed. Never have those hallucinations. It’s actually more annoying than anything. At least if I was hallucinating something it would be exciting

@@SnailHatan It’s not exciting. Trust me, I understand the mindset of “It cant be so bad im tough ill take it” but the brain does not care about that. It will directly inject terror into you. Once you get out of the hallucination its like “oh ok its fine haha” but during, its not exciting or fun at all. There is no logic or rational thought.

OK then try this- My capture by a herd of Bigfoots years ago was horrific. They took me back to their home-world of Sasquatopia. I was held prisoner there in a zoo. While entering their ufo through the large colourful doorway, I saw that in the next valley over, there was a smaller ufo that the homosexual Sasquatches entered. It had a small brown coloured opening in the back end. Apparently I learned later on, That's how they roll.

I think that's what Todd does. He's had real encounters (likely) but his fervor to convince others led him to make a bunch of hoaxes - his close up footage is of straight up puppets/animatronics.

Once I find somebody is not trustworthy(and that's someone who hoaxes even once, I don't waste mytime with other possible evidence from them. There's so many folks out there why waste time on someone whose capable of purposely misleading.

@@filbertapplebag5663 It's right on his main page. Episode 6 radium springs. Open your eyes before you post something so dumb. Luckily your stupidity is now immortalized, get out of here.

With complete respect to Les, I have to agree somewhat on this point. I have experienced it personally when I was a teenager, and researched it a bit for this reason, and what Les described seems to me like textbook sleep paralysis. It is usually a terrifying experience though, so I'm a bit surprised that Les apparently didn't have the strong sensation of fear and/or a malevolent presence. When I went through it, I hallucinated that chains were rising up from the sides of my bed and holding me down. When I finally completely came to my senses, I leapt out of bed and ran to my parents room. It wasn't until years later when I read about it that I understood what had happened. Whether you know about it or not though, the sense of fear people usually experience during sleep paralysis is very real. Having said all of that, it really has nothing to do with whether or not Bigfoot is real, and I really enjoy this series on the subject.

Olecranon89 yeah I was the same. So in my experience I felt as though it was like waves of gravity hitting me then easing off then hitting me again, I don’t remember if I felt as though a presence was there but I do vaguely remember it could of been the case. It almost kind of felt like hot and cold flushes with the gravity I just know breathing was harder than usual. I thought when I woke I got up and ran to my parents room on the other side of the house but the next thing I remember I was back in bed and I immediately knew it was a dream and the sense of fear disappeared. I made a Snapchat about it instantly the next morning and a mate sent me a message and told me about sleep paralysis, super cool that it was an actual thing, wish I saved the Snapchat tho
