The Appalachian Bigfoot Files: Wild Men of the Mountains (New Sasquatch documentary)

The Appalachian Bigfoot Files is a new documentary series by Aleksandar Petakov. Across the Appalachian mountain chain, from Georgia to Maine, stories of hair covered wild men, wooly boogers and ape like creatures have persisted for centuries. This series will explore these various stories, claims, sightings and even hoaxes across the regions that make up the Appalachians. Interviews with local researchers, authors, investigators and witnesses help piece together this fascinating mystery.

I've never seen one, but I have heard them in the Allegheny National Forrest. The "whoop" they make is unmistakable, and cannot be confused with any other native wildlife. The lung capacity they have is just breathtaking.

[@painreaver4016]

No pun intended?! 😂 jk. Thank you for sharing your experience! 😊

[@nickjohnson410]

I think the "wood knocks" that people hear are open mouthed cheek slaps or flicks. It makes the same sound and if your mouth is huge, like a sasquatch, it can make quite a sound. A much more controllable and consistently repeatable sound compared to random sticks, and sure beats carrying around some special wood knock stick all the time.

[@Steelythestacker]

@@nickjohnson410 it's quite possible. I've never heard wood knocks where I was but I heard whoops a couple times.

Extraordinary documentary, the best and with the greatest amount of mature and well-founded reflections on your channel. For my part, from Mexico City, for more than 40 years I have defended the possibility of its existence, encountering much rejection and ridicule from "scientific minds", especially in my radio and television appearances. As I am not a biologist, nor an anthropologist, but a composer and academic, my credentials "do not authorize" me to speak on the subject and I have been left aside. No problem, I continue. Congratulations again, this channel has given me many things that I did not know and provided new reflections. I regret not having published articles on the subject, having had the possibility for 40 years, which could have been helpful in making the subject known in an objective manner. I appreciate your attention. (Sergio Berlioz)

I live in the Appalachians. I see it as foolish to be so self assured. To have everything figured out. Where everything is materialistic and can be seen and touched physically. Claiming to have a modern scientific view and explanation for things. When science itself proves we as humans are limited in our ability to see hear and perceive. The entire natural world as it truly exists. To assume and write off human beings that are biologically identical to us. As being less intelligent and superstitious because they lived before us. Yet we have still standing proof all across the world. In architecture and structures we can't duplicate today with all of our so called advanced wisdom intelligence and technology. Proof that at some point in time due to being conquered or due to cataclysm. We have lost advanced knowledge and knowing. That our science is not complete there are holes and gaps we are clueless about. To speak so confidently about things you can only actually speculate. To not have an awareness that two things can be true and exist simultaneously. Is guaranteed evidence of an arrogant close minded fool.

[@MaryBaxter-k5c]

As one very bright man says, "We are a species with amnesia", as there is so much that we have lost in terms of knowledge and wisdom and perhaps that loss includes the range of our perception regarding our senses. How very little of a range of the scales of sight and sound that we humans are able to perceive has always amazed me. It is almost impossible for me to think that we were not created much more perfectly than the beings that we have become today...not only in a physical sense, but also mentally and spiritually speaking as well. Or is it that our species still possesses more advanced or more precise abilities, but due to circumstamces beyond our control - such as worldwide cataclysyms, occasional societal/social resets by the supposed powers that be, or perhaps even a potential genetic factor like the possibility that the further down the genetic line you go, the more one's abilities degenerate - that we as human beings really still have it all, but due to these possible recurring factors, we have lost the ability to use - or the ability to know how to use - these now seemingly advanced abilities? Or in other words, that we are a species who really does suffer from amnesia? One cannot deny the fact that a specific blood type has a higher number of people who are in touch with what we today refer to as a '6th sense'. That factor certainly is not by chance. All I can say is the one thing I am sure of, and that is believing the absolutely absurd idea that 90+% of our DNA is "junk" eventually results in the absurdity becoming factual. There exists a group who does not want us learning the truth. To counter that problem & to defeat their tireless and extensive efforts, there must also exist a group who has both the will and the dogged determination to rediscover that truth. Here are the factors that I have found in my extensive research that are reported by the people who I perceive to be truthful in their sharing of their encounters, visual or not, with this creature I call bigfoot: -The people sense an overwhelming & almost indescribable feeling of fear or dread before any physical encounter occurs. They KNOW that the beings are present well before any of their other 5 senses perceive the being's presence. They have not yet seen nor heard nor smelled them, yet a very heavy, inescapable & overwhelming feeling of dread & fear envelops them which alerts them of the presence of these beings. -Dealing solely with the group of witnesses who are avid, lifelong hunters...they are always armed. They are well versed in how to mpst effectively and correctly use their weapons. They are accustomed to taking the lives of animals for sport or for food/survival purposes, yet ALMOST EVERY SINGLE ONE says the exact same thing: those who have not had a close range physical run in say, "I don't think I could shoot one." -or- "I don't want to have to shoot one." -or- "I would only shoot one if it came down to being a matter of life or death/him or me". Those are very telling statements coming from people who hunt & kill animals for sport. Think about it. The hunters who HAVE had a close range physical sighting, including well armed hunters who have been terrified by & physically chased out of the woods by these creatures ALL say "I could not shoot it. Its face looked too humanlike. It didnt have a face like any monkey or ape. It had a face like ours." -Much less reported by this same group but still worth mentioning is the fact that they were frozen or their movements paralyzed upon making direct eye contact with one of these creatures. I think this would occur more often but often times these hunters either know better than to make direct eye contact or they immediately vacate the premesis and never look back. -the creatures' ability to move swiftly and effortlessly through thick underbrush and huge briar patches that hunters say any other wild animal (clearly we arent talking about any animal here, folks) would easily get hung up in and unable to free itself. Given the description of their hair which is my next bulletpoint, one would assume that these creatures would get easily snagged and hung up in any thick briar patch, yet they apparently make an unhindered beeline straight through and out the other side never getting hung or snagged. -the description of their hair is often reported to be "not like a bear or dog". And the phrase " more like matted dreadlocks" is often used. Quite often. Add this to its traits that make it seem more human than animal along with it being bipedal & its humanlike face & facial features. - Somehow, and I think this is key to determining their true nature, these creatures can move through thick woods silently - without creating the first crunch of a leaf or crack of a limb in areas that even the movement of a bird on the ground would produce some audible noise that would alert any hunter to its presence. How is that possible when at other times they can be heard seemingly fumbling through the same woods? It isnt that once these creatures sense a human presence that they become much more careful not to make noise because it doesnt matter how careful one is, a noise is going to be produced by movement by anything moving. So what...do these things float just above the ground? No. Do they only halfway exist in our realm and half in another unseen reality? I dont think so. Is this some ability that their species has developed over thousands of years? Perhaps, although given the details that I have gathered & having spent much of my childhood playing in the woods, I dont know how any creature - eapecially one of auch great size and weight - could perfect the ability to move silently through or over that kind of terrain, no matter how much they practiced doing so. So how DO they do this? I have ideas, but no answers. -These creatures, although their howls shake the insides of human beings and their stomps cause the ground under people's feet to physically vibrate, are strongly opposed to are are easily angered by loud noises. -It is my opinion that when they interact with human beings that they are toying or playing with them. They COULD easily rip their limbs off. They COULD effortlessly kill them. Yet they don't. It is as if their throwing of rocks and snapping of limbs is their toying with people, or perhaps trying to scare them enough so that the person vacates the territory of the creature. -They tend to not want to be seen. Being heard is commonplace & something they dont mind. Being seen seems to be a different story. I am leaning toward the idea that perhaps they have the ability to make themselves invisible. Seriously. I cant count the number of times I have heard someone say " the brush was just too thick" or "they were completely covered by the thick brush". I want to reply "yeah, that was your perception" or "thats what you thought" because just like nothing this big & heacy could possibly move through the woods without any aound being produced, nothing this big and heavy can hide completely behind any brush pile no matter how large the pile is. Also while supposedly being completely consealed behind these brush piles, tbe witnesses report hearing the creature moving around and often report seeing the brush moving, but yet they fail to catch even a glimpse of the creature? The more I hear, the more becoming invisible makes more sense. This would also account for the lack of photos or videos of these beings. Just sayin'. Perhaps instead of invisibility (remember our small range of sight!) the creatures have an ability to shift back & forth between realms like between the spiritual world and the physical? I dont know. Just throwing ideas out there. - just like these creatures dont always produce a strong foul odor, they also dont always telecommunicate with people. Why is that? Do only older adults have this ability? Or do only some humans have the ability to receive or perceive this communication? Or is it something else? I dont know. There is no question that these beings exist. They are always there. They are always present. I dont think that they travel ling distances. I dont think that they hibernate. I dont think that they ever even wander outside the area that they inhabit. I think they are always present. Always watching and observing our behavior. Whether or not they choose to make their presence known is the question...and why....what prevents them from producing any noise or from being visible to some people but not to others? It is not fear. These creatures always have the upperhand and I think that theu very well know that. We enter their territory, not vice versa although that is what we arrogant humans perceive. How do they remain so elusive? And why? I have a recurring thought that jist like the idea of the existence of these creatures are to some people, to some this will seem preposterous, but just hear me out: could these creatures be the physical product of some type of witchcraft or black magick? Could they be some sort of golem? Could they have been born into existence long ago by American Indiams who needed some defense against the cannibalistic giants who were stealing and eating their women and children? Again, just my thoughts. My inclinations are that nothing is impossible & that there is so much that we do not understand about our own reality/realm. Thats all.

Just like here in Ontario Canada the ministry of natural resources tells you there are No Cougars here in Ontario. Yet driving home from work in a rural area of Northern Ontario I saw one. I didn't even know what I saw until I went on the Ministry's website of descriptions of wild cats. And Bam the only description of what I saw was a cougar which according the the ministry, there aren't any here. Guess no one told the Cougar he didn't exist there.

People in the southern region known as "Appalachia" claim dominance over the pronunciation and get very offended that others pronounce it differently (as evidenced by some of the comments on this video) but in reality there are different ways of pronouncing it. Where I live in the northern Appalachians (New Hampshire) we say "Appalachian" differently than they do down south but they'll insist that they're right and you're wrong Just a matter of semantics. -Aleks

[@DaveDeck-to8im]

I have heard them in The Shawnee National Forest in Southeast Ohio and in the Daniel Boone National Forest and Red River Gorge areas in KENTUCKY!!!

[@PatDe-zj4et]

I seen a large cougar in Hampshire County West Virginia about 20 years ago

[@seanburgess7002]

My papaw used to see em when he'd go ginseng. And about 15 years ago I was sitting on my forewheeler and looked up the bank about 30 yards seened one crouched down looking at me.

[@MichaelKirbyMusic86]

Small world on here, I've lived in Springfield / Hampshire Co for 38 years, more so lake Ferndale by Levels

[@grios62gr]

There still is Eastern Mountain Lions around, they been spotted in the Adirondack Mountain, and the Catskill Mountains, there been kills by Cougars and found many tracks, let a lone being seen by folks in the general area, the same that they say no Elks in upstate NY but i seen them myself in the Catskill Mountain range.

[@elitelandscapeslifestories]

Actually these mountains, as most, are full of magic

[@fly_speck_cafe]

If there's a Sasquatch in the woods and nobody sees it, does it really exist?

[@SmallTownMonsters]

That's a great quote!

[@fly_speck_cafe]

@@SmallTownMonsters thank you

[@donnyrankin8330]

They're not apes. They resemble humans in the face. No ape bones have ever been found in North America.

[@thomas-i5o7h]

So, as there are different types or breeds of cats and dogs, is it possible that there are variations in the Bigfoot populations ?

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

Wonder how many Appalachian Bigfoots have been washed out of the mountains in the past couple of weeks?

[@Bigsexy611]

I said the same thing

[@randyhuggins6480]

their cougars still in those mountains my family in WV have a video of a female with kits and sightings in multiple counties

[@patiencekosko7095]

They are black panthers and they have always been in Appalachia. The locals have always said this. But they are not out to prove anything they don't care if you believe them of not

[@Bigsexy611]

I saw a black panther in north Georgia it looked like a dove ermine pincher with a long tail I was bear hunting when I saw it and if you ask any game wardens they tell you that it doesn’t exist but I’ve seen it

[@rypted2849]

Funny these people make statements that seem somewhat like they do no research on these creatures because they make statements like you would have seen creatures such as these hundreds of years or thousands of years ago if they existed and we have so do your research, there are images of these creatures thousands of years ago in art.

[@PhyllisBennettNana]

I also wonder if they found any Sasquatch bodies!! Im sincere, i d love to if they survived and or if they are ok?36 more hours!!

[@joshualonghi8313]

i think it like why have they not ppl say well u dont bear bodies any hard core hunter will tell you they have come across a bear or 2 dead in the woods and if u want to find them u can go into the thickest places and find them...that is why i think there has to be way more to them then flesh and blood based on the places they are seen

[@Bigsexy611]

I’ve hunted here in Georgia and Parts of North Carolina for bear the season is in now in north Georgia I can say I’ve never seen a dead bear in nature from old age and I’ve never found any skeleton and here in north Georgia our black bears are all over the mountains and valleys I’ve heard some chilling sounds in the woods I used to go hunting before the sun was rising but I don’t go in until I can see what I am dealing with

[@davidpeace823]

I don't know what they're trying to talk about in the beginning of this video but. I saw sasquatch and I know what it was . It was no bear or someone in a suite. I saw I heard it I smelled it all in the Daniel boone national forest in Kentucky

[@ragnew7411]

Why not Google earth hasn't changed in the last 3 years in my area just 20 minutes north of whiteface mt in ny

[@PorchHonkey]

Those 35 square miles in Pa. produce a much larger animal on average than those in the southern Appalachians. Some of the largest black bear on the continent (over 800 lbs.) have been harvested from/and make Pa.their home. And I'm not 100%. But I'm fairly certain that the overall population (total est.number of resident bear) sizes increase the farther north you go along the Appalachian chain. But those type of facts are your difference between a conservationist/hunter/trapper/experienced woodsmen and your run of the mill self proclaimed "bigfoot researcher." That (no offense) more often than not. Has spent very little time out in the bush. And the limited time (the majority of B.F. researchershave) spent boots on the ground is almost always done with the sole purpose/focus of investigating bigfoot. I think that it is also important to consider the large majority of these "researchers" have spent little to no time out in the bush prior to their interests in the bigfoot research subject. And in those cases they sometimes get the false impression that they are gaining the knowledge needed to become a competent woodsman. And unfortunately, nothing could be farther from the truth. Trampling through the woods in the middle of the night (or any other time) and whooping over loudspeakers and beating on trees with a camera crew and all sorts of lights isn't in any way going to teach you what you need to know to know your way around the woods, no matter how many hours you spend doing it. And if you want to investigate any living animal that makes the woods it's home. And expect to have any kind of chance at successfully doing so. You need to first obtain a practical knowledge of the woods (it's world). Which takes a willingness to dedicate a lifetime to be done proper. The animal you pursue is the easy part when you do things in the proper order. If you think you can succeed without putting in the work your kidding yourself. Like expecting to figure out how to read and write without first learning the alphabet,that simple. Lastly I would like it to be known that I am not a skeptic and I have had personal experience/slash visual sighting myself after 49 years huntin,trappin,fishing,foraging camping and wild crafting in the Appalachians of N.E. Pa..

[@Offtrailplayer]

Can anyone help me with a list of animals that would have a crazy scream? Ideally ones that live in Maryland. I’m really trying to find something that matches what I heard, the screaming woman in the woods.

[@Hawkeyes75]

Mountain lions, Foxes

[@Tennessee6447]

I've lived in Appalachia all my life, and I can tell everybody FOR SURE that there is NO bipedal unknown humanoids that live in these mountains.

[@mariebrayman2017]

Hahaha, so because you haven't seen one that negates all the THOUSANDS of people that have?? Pphhfftt.

[@LogHewer]

You've personally laid eyes on every cave, hill, hollow, mountain, and trail in all of Appalachia, huh? I'm impressed.

[@GaryBonnell-m9q]

All I can tell you is they exist and no you don't want to see one there's no going back especially if you love being out in the woods forest knowing that there's monsters in the woods is to much for most to handle

[@shaneshelby9348]

Kentucky tn Virginia all have enough woods to hold a big foot even here in Bristol tn

[@dragonleg8700]

[@pacocarlos3994]

Why people dont go back to the video of a massive black wolf chasing a mans dog....that video clip was proven real but people still deny it because they cant handle massive creatures living in our forests

[@suzannewhitsett7516]

this comment is for cliff. now i don't know if you believe in the bible or you don't, one thing is certain it is indeed one of if not the oldest books available, in fact one can say it is actually a combination of books with many different authors that has been compile together as one , because many of books like genesis for example can connect to another book that can be 100s of years apart, personally i think anyone who disregards the bible as merely fiction is a very closed minded person unwilling to think outside the box they have put themselves in, and that is a shame, because they will always be lacking answers and they will never be any closer to the truth as they were from the beginning when they began their research. the truth is these things are mentioned all throughout the bible. which in my opinion is one of if not the only historical books available even to this day. Anyway I'm sure you have heard of the fallen angels and their off spring said to be giants of great strength wealth ect. and were also known for building great cities and was men of renown origin's and set themselves above other people and made themselves kings. they were also very wicked along with many who chose to follow them. so Noah's flood came and many believed that was the end of them myself included, but as it turns out the bible says they were in the days of Naoh and retuned after the days of Noah to current times . the Amorites are one example of one such a tribe when god is speaking to Joshwa god says they were tall as the cedar trees then you have David and goliath. i could go on and on but words are limited and I'm pretty certain your getting the point here. even the woman captured years ago in RUSSIA they thought she was a female yeti and the drunk sickos they had watching her raped her and she had children by these men. theses offspring are still alive today so they agreed to have a dna test done and it came back as she came from a race of ancient people in Africa long thought extinct thousands of years ago. maybe thats why the dna comes back human because they ere. only bigger stronger ect because one parent is a fallen angel, it all fits when you look at this angle. people have been going on that same old worn out and broken off theory that they are a unknown primate and are never over all these years even come close to proving it . don't you think its about time to explore a actual theroy that actually fits together more and more the more you look into it trying to prove its wrong the more you discover even more truth. WHAT does anyone have to loose by looking into what im saying. absolutely nothing to loose but perhaps, just perhaps the truth thats been stairing at everyone all along i know you have heard some witnesses stating they felt pure evil comming off these things, thats because one parent is absolutely evil a fallen angel again it all fits,

[@felipesilva-zw6oi]

And about the picture of sasquatch in Alabama ur something?

[@shaneshelby9348]

Nope these big cats are still here if your in the woods enough

[@jerryrice8507]
