I am a survivor of the 'Whilkut' tribe and the 'Chilula' The main surviving family is regarded as the 'Moon' Tribe. Me and my family own the traditional tribal grounds on Redwood Creek. I'm not Super well versed in our 'lore' but here locally it's well known that the Yurok and Hoopa have had beef for many generations. Despite speaking the same language the Hoopa sold us out to the Army, leading to the worst massacre of native Americans on the west coast. (Woodley Island massacre). That being said, my family bridges the hoopa and Yurok. And I can't wait to ask my Aunt who teaches the Yurok language at HSU here in CA about our 'sasquatch' history. Thanks for giving all of us a shout out and keeping a fraction of our culture alive.

[@leviharvey3851]

In 2013, I was walking through the woods in the Appalachian Mountains here in West Virginia. I was 13 years old and doing what I often did, explore. It was a bright summer day, clear weather, and I was walking along the creek bed heading back home. I remember thinking to myself how quiet the woods were at the time. Absolutely no sound of wild life whatsoever which I remember thinking to myself was odd. I continued walking and shortly after I heard a bush shake, a shake that was notably not the wind, a violent shake like a person had had purposely drawn my attention. I remember looking to the left of me where the noise was coming from and at first didn’t notice anything. I kept observing when I heard the bush shake once more and at that point instantly noticed what I initially thought was a bear (we don’t have any brown bears in WV). It was crouched over, with its right hand extended onto the branch that had been shaken, looking directly at me. I’d say it was roughly 40 yards away at the time, plenty close to get a good look. It then stood straight up on 2 legs, pivoted toward the right and into a run (in the same motion). It ran in the opposite direction as I was traveling and you can bet your ass I ran as fast as my little ass could the other way! I can still picture it in my head as an adult. It stood at about 7ft tall, arms extended down past its waist (long arms) and ran upright, like a person, with its elbows bent. It had a long brown (not very dark, almost an orangish/ brown) fur all over it body and when it was running it took long strides. I didn’t feel threatened at the time but it was also something I couldn’t wrap my mind around and had no interest in sticking around to investigate. I would’ve walked right past this thing. It purposely got my attention. I’m obviously a pretty bad story teller, nor do I really expect anyone to believe a word of this because if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes I’d absolutely call me a fruit loop lol.

[@wadstur8429]

I sometimes think about the times when I went hunting by myself on our land in my teens. It was so absolutely quiet once in a while and I think I probably just walked as fast and efficiently as I could and I wasn’t even looking for game birds. Now that some of my old neighbors have seen Mt Lions I would never do that again. I can’t even imagine seeing a Bigfoot. Good thing I’m from central Kansas where no one ever has 😁

[@lore9395]

Lifelong western Washingtonian here. Siwash kind of has 2 meanings depending on whether it's used as a noun or verb. As a noun, it's a pejorative, as in describing an itinerant or homeless individual who sleeps with no roof overhead and in no settled place. As a verb, it means to travel swiftly and lightly and in gathering food or fuel or fishing, it means to expertly and dexterously collect, gather or or fish. Since it was a Salish tradition to tailor one's telling of lore to a given audience this was a very flexible descriptor, as you can imagine. I have no idea what these things were but I recall my parents discussing the hypothetical existence of such creatures when I was about 6 or so. My father's opinion was that people were probably seeing things but best not to take chances, so he generally was armed when he went to inspect the wooded property he owned(inspect=intimidate poachers to get them to leave the property) Dad was a native Bostonian and veteran of 3 wars who really immersed himself in rural PNW culture after moving here in the 50s. As a fan of Joseph Conrad and Ernest Hemingway, it suited his vision of how to live one's life. We lived at the southern tip of a south Puget Sound inlet that was very sparsely populated.

[@blaznskais2048]

1:10:33 I’m starting to wonder if these wild men from the mountains are consistently described as being hairy not necessarily because they themselves are actually hairy but because they are wearing almost full suits of fur. Possibly even using bear hides seeing how many times they are often mistaken for bears. Or even wearing some type of grass or reed cloak like that found with Otzi.

[@RaeCarson]

That's definitely a likelihood. Also very likely is that there's several groups/peoples/species. Although each group/family/tribe haven't yet been identified as separate share some appearance factors or behaviors that are quite alike.

[@pinkgnomie1325]

The similarities could be evidence of some kind of convergent social/anthropological evolution - similar customs developing across societies due to identical habitats and resources.

[@victory8928]

I don’t what to say to the two who commented below this post but you both missed the point of discussion. These wild hairy men could have just been wearing furs and were mistook to be naked due to that and the situations they were seen in. Just saying it is just as likely to be a different species is a tad odd cause what is more likely a group of people wearing bear skins and being mistaken for something else due to those furs or a new species we don’t have fossil evidence for and which were described as people by these people. Now you could go ‘oh convergent evolution’, humans evolved in Africa not the Americas and Africa at the time especially where hominids first originate from a rapidly changing land and very unique environment. To think than another primate group would evolve to appear like people despite living in too different habitats only for both to co-exist and we don’t have evidence that can’t be ruled out as just people is odd especially cause these ‘things’ were clearly closely related to people if you think that the kidnapping stories are related unless you are saying that the stories of these women having children with the wild men are not credible while the stories of them kidnapping these women are credible. Now you can go ‘well giant salamanders’ they are oddballs in terms of that, you don’t see a chimpanzee-human hybrid despite how closely related we are to chimps. People have tried. It doesn’t work so how would two even more distantly related primates even produce young? Unless you claim that there is a new species in the mountains and wild people living in these areas as well which at that point requires good evidence which we don’t have.

[@amypanddirtytoo1926]

I'm Irish and Lakota, sometimes two different meanings actually mean the same thing at their core. Kind of like the Chinese language, where the character has a literal translation, but that's not what it means. Like the character for "the void", it is the literal translation for "the void" but it actually means "effortless way of living/living with no struggles". Two separate meanings or descriptions can both be right at the same time.

[@Wynneception]

I personally think the most logical explanations for a lot of these stories is that they record historical encounters with different ethnic groups and details get distorted over time, especially when the stories get written down by non-Natives. “This group of people were all tall compared to us” very easily mutates into “this was a race of giants”. “These people were hairy compared to us” easily mutates into “these people were ape-like in appearance”. Similarly it’s entirely plausible that a group with which there was historical animosity and warfare gets recast as a group of cannibalistic murderers. But we know for a fact that oral histories can record information from thousands of years ago. It’s not strange at all to think that encounters with ethnic groups would get recorded as part of that historical memory

[@blaznskais2048]

I’m starting to become more and more convinced that something akin to this theory is the most plausible. Oral history always reminds me of fishermen tails. With each retelling the fish usually gets bigger and more monstrous until it’s something akin to Nessie more than the 6 in trout it originally was.

[@stemdeckesupreme164]

Until you see something in the woods. I wish I hadn't. I've been trying to remember it more but I actually break down when I talk about it, there is this fear that wells up. It was so still and it just backed away slowly, but I just remembered pure jetblack fur. I dont know if I could make out a face. Just pure darkness in the shape of a large figure with straight black hair all over. But it stared at me and it does something to me when I think about it. Gets me crying and panicking. This was actually challenging to type out.

[@Stroggoii]

Problem with this theory is we have written accounts of barbarification and it never really works like this. The vikings are blood drinking savages, the huns were cannibals, the mongols ate their horses. Exaggerated details to make the ingroup moral and the outgroup vile are common through history and engrain disinformation into our culture. But they're still people we clearly recognize because defeating or surviving them is a source of ingroup pride.

Re: “just because you’re part of a culture doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to know all the details” in addition to that people from different cultures are also well aware what other people want to hear. Just because you’re from a culture doesn’t mean you won’t make up stories to get cryptozoologists to pay you money. Not claiming that has happened in either of these specific instances you mention here but it is one factor that makes asking people alive today about Bigfoot much less reliable. It’s not that you won’t encounter people telling the truth but people today are aware of the pop culture around it and are aware people will give them money if they say they encountered it

[@beastshawnee]

Super true. Also be aware that there are still Natives who think it’s a big joke to fool pale people or scare them or just gross them out. I remember one powwow where my older young adult friend would always find some blonde girl to flirt with, bring her back to camp and offer her some of the stew I had been cooking- telling her it was dog meat! He always told us kids to tell these blondes the food rule “It’s very rude to refuse food so you can’t refuse it- You have to try it or they’ll get very mad! “ hahahaa then some girls would freak out while others would bravely sip at a spoonful! Then we let them in on the joke. This one guy I knew- like an uncle- he would laugh all the time about taking money from gullible people and seriously tell us the stories he made up just to trick people! He was clearly worse because he was a bit of a con artist- but he could tell a story that anyone would believe. He didn’t actually grow up In his tribe or family- he was a foster kid type and adopted out to pale families. He knew nothing of history and tribal stories firsthand! But for $15 he’d make you think he did!

The hypnosis and paralysis aspect is something that appears in modern bigfoot stories as well. A lot of times the witness reports feeling dizzy, confused, exhausted and sometimes acting in ways that they could not explain during or after the bigfoot sighting. It is interesting because I doubt that the people writing these stories would've gone through all the work to research these indian legends before posting their bigfoot story online. A bigfoot youtuber named Bob Gymlan theorized that these effects might be caused by the strong foul smell that often accompanies the bigfoot in these stories. I remember he cited some examples about how apes could make certain smells based on how they're feeling and these smells could have certain effects on other animals I believe.

New subscriber here, and I absolutely love this channel! I am a staunch skeptic of all things paranormal and supernatural, but also love to see or hear about the stories and accounts of alleged encounters with the creatures of folklore and mythology from various cultures and traditions. Though I am a skeptic, I am an open minded skeptic and I am not arrogant enough to believe that I know everything about the reality of this universe and its possible for things to exist that defy explanation. I would love to be proven wrong and for the stories to be true at least to some extent! This channel is so much better than most. The topic of every video is researched and sourced very well. I appreciate the work that goes into such a complex subject and the way the events are presented with as m corroborating evidence possible.

[@FaithAndRepentance]

6:54 sounds viking to me , not sure where this is located but evidence throughout the West has been found along rivers ❤ exciting. Bedtime now but I'll will have to return to this an do a little digging. Thanks for the video ❤

[@northernbackwoodsman263]

Excellent just found these, but always a good listen.

[@humanitiestheproblem]

John T Reeds account makes me think of how in the past anytime a group of ppl wanted to justify violence towards another group, they would minimize them with accusations to make them seem subhuman or inferior as a means of public and historical acceptance of said intended treatment and or actions.

You need to do a video on the Australian Yowie. I can't be the only Aussie around this channel.

I was told that my Native American side of my family were considered "Siwash" which I learned a few years back is the "N" word of the Native American culture in general so probably best to refrain from using it too much, Aiden. Just an FYI! Lol!! Prior to that I thought it meant "mut" like an Indian that had several different tribes in its blood, which we do, especially when combined with my Scottish and Irish heritage, hence the blonde hair, which is why I don't typically talk about my Native American side, despite being very proud of it. Anyway, there ya go. Lol!!

[@Athlynne]

Anyone else laugh/choke on their tea at Aidan's "You know, like meth" line?

[@cutepuppy123456789]

On the last bit, From stories told to me by my fiancé, a man born and raised in Southern Appalachia, " Creatures up in the mountains" who "mimic bird calls and voices" which " lure you out", is an ingrained fear in him since early childhood just from existing in the area and while he doesn't talk of Wendigos for the common fear that saying that name in the foothills could bring it to you even if he does not really believe in the mythos of it, will not talk at all of the accounts he's heard of and had with creatures he really means in the foothills himself. I would definitely watch a new video discussing the mythos of the area throughout history.

[@CoopersDescent]

I wonder in the red haired giants story was exaggerated, and it was actually Vikings. In Heavener Oklahoma, there’s rune stones and other markings found there. Maybe they had traveled even further. They had smaller hand held torches that would look like fire from the fingers. Another story from Heavener was coal miners deep down were digging for coal and found a wall. They said it was large, and as smooth as glass. Another strange story in eastern Oklahoma a farmer was digging and found a giant porcelain floor. There was newspaper articles about it, but not a whole lot online.

[@Mark-nh2hs]

I often wonder if many of the bigfoot stories told by Native Americans are derogatory terms for rival Tribes or tribes they were unsure off who just appeared there or been there all the time but never integrated. Over the years people have missed/forgot the original context and created the mythology that is bigfoot?

[@wolflover1888]

There seems to be a few of similarities to the brothers grimm "robber bridegroom" story at about 18 minutes in

[@theriveroftruth]

on the bit of wendigos being able to mimic voices- YES, they can use it as a way of baiting prey, what i can remember from the research i did in undergrad, the closer they sounded the further away they were? and the further they sounded, the more danger you were in. i could totally be wrong, but i know for certain they could mimic voices

[@denaparalee]

Sawis means Silent or Quiet in Nez Perce which is also a language the Big People speak

[@GaylJDodds]

My Native American side is from Washington and I was raised believing it meant "mut" or a combination of tribes that weren't typically accepted by other tribes, like the outcasts. But then a couple Indian friends of mine I knew a couple years ago said Siwash was the "N" word for the Skokimish tribes so I'm interested to know if you know anything about that? I'd love to be wrong so please let me know. Thank you!!

[@denaparalee]

@@GaylJDodds Our tribes don’t have derogatory words like mutt/outcast to describe people. A slow minded person is the closest description to the “N word.” But it’s not meant to be disrespectful.

[@GaylJDodds]

Good to know! Thank you!!

[@benjaminsmith3843]

"Keeper of the forest" is literally translated as "az erdő őrzője" in Hungarian. It would more likely be translated as simply "erdőőr" if you wanted something a native speaker would actually say.

[@balazsvarga1823]

The proper one is erdész which is equivalent to park ranger.

[@lospereye]

I liked Ella’s part of the video best. I want to hear her takes more

[@Lenape_Lady]

The Inuit have stories of the Tornit. Hominins but not humans. Hairier, stronger and slightly bigger than normal humans. But shy and kept to themselves. They shared the same hunting grounds. Tornits were incapable of building kayaks like the Inuit. They had a fight with the Tornits over them stealing a kayak and chased them off into the wide reaches of Alaska. The stories have been told for thousands of years. So what I believe is that Homo sapiens weren’t the only Hominins to cross the Bering Land Bridge. I believe the Neanderthals came too. And the stories of the Tornits are the genetic memory of interacting with them. Think of it, Neanderthals were most likely hairier and stronger than Homo sapiens and yet didn’t have the brain case space for a brain as large as ours…so they wouldn’t be able to build the kayaks. We did interbreed with them. We even interbred with the Denisovans. I think all the stories of Bigfoot/sasquatch/hairy men/wild men are the genetic memory of our cousins…hominins…but not quite human.

[@stargatis]

Yes some think the 130,000 year old mastodon kill in CA was Neanderthal or another hominid besides sapiens

[@remnantoftheeye5580]

Tornits if or inspired by Norsemen.

[@Aquanios08]

Of all your episode’s endings, this is my favorite one 💕

[@catsnads01]

Excellent work, much appreciated. Looking forward to the next installment!

[@AdmiralJT]

Always love the intros, always love the history segmants, and return ovee and over for the main course lore ❤

[@Adam_First]

Great video missing persons work is vital and folklore and history make this channel a favorite

[@adrianserna5581]

Great video sorry it took so long to watch it schools kept me way to busy

[@idiosyncraticmushroom3030]

1:00:49 Gwich'in is pronounced in the IPA as /kʷɪtʃʼɪn/ so you're not far off. The key difference is that ch' symbol, which is pronounced like our ch but ejective, meaning it is pronounced with a glottalic egressive airstream. I can't entirely explain very well how to produce this sound, but the best way I can describe it is the sound is thrown from the mouth as the throat is abruptly closed. Ejective consonants are all over Na-Dene languages, as well as other Native American and worldwide indigenous languages. Definitely some of the hardest sounds to pronounce, though. Hopes this helps!

[@SurferGirl.o7.o3-cn3vt]

Thnx 4 Sharing... I enjoyed todays live stream 🤗 Smiles

[@CoperliteConsumer]

"and from that day on the world knew us as "bad mfers" also everyone clapped"

Thank you for the great work as always, Aiden! Best boy

[@syntheticat-3]

15:48 he really pspsps'd those people into the afterlife, huh

[@alexandreagodlove1541]

FINALLY A NEW VIDEO! ive found your channel and been binging just WAITING for a new video and then its a video from my home state! Yeeee

[@jordanlampshire1400]

You guys should visit The Biggoot Museum in Nebraska. I've been wanting to go, but it's a few hour drive, and I don't have the money for gas lol

[@johnlewis1830]

It ain't over till the Husky sings...... "Husky screams in background" Oh well, videos over. Doggos knows best.

[@asiatravel2010]

As someone that has supported both your own channel as well as Hammerson Peters, I really think if you are going to use someone else's content you should not only make mention of them momentarily in your video, but also post a link to their channel in the description (much like you would place citations in the footnotes of a scholarly article). Hammerson is a very good guy, I personally contributed recently when he fell on hard times. I am sure he would be very grateful for you sending viewers his way, it would not cannibalise your own viewer base but more likely so cement it. Be the good guy, I love your work and would love to see everyone in this field grow together.

[@TheLoreLodge]

I can add it in to the description!

[@NanaBren]

Hi Aidens, I had fun watching your video today. Of course I can’t resist commenting on comments. 😂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and research. 🧐 It’s always a pleasure to discuss cryptids. ❤

[@Deaducation]

I can tell you how to say, keeper of fire, or keeper of the flame in Potawatomi because that’s literally translation of the name of my people.

[@Ranpone]

Learning about the Paiute is really nice! I’m Southern Sierra Miwok on my mother’s side and due to some historical events, the elderly people in my family weren’t always very nice about them. I did get to learn some history of the paiute since I got my undergrad degree in history and took a few indigenous history classes for it. I do think it’s fascinating that almost everyone has their own bigfoot. Ours is Üli and he roams Yosemite ☺️

[@alexandermacdonald6412]

Great channel love your content. Thanks. Lummi is pronounced LUMM -ME

You guys are one of the few good ones doing stuff like this. Also Missing Enigma!❤😂😂

[@JDM-is-my-name]

As I have very little idea about how big a foot is without looking it, the sentence, "footsteps were about 3 feet" feels so weird, haha I imagine it's roughly three people feet, but it's still a fun concept

[@CountryRaven54k]

Excited for this! Keep up the good work! :))
