Have you ever read the book “beast in the garden” by Baron Davis? Or “Devolution” by Max brooks? I think they’re a wonderful 1-2 combo. Unless you just do this kind of video bc it’s your job, I think you’d like both of them.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Aiden, as you may have seen, there’s been a horrific murder at a campsite in Big Sky MT, which is about an hour north of west Yellowstone/The West Entrance to The Park. I know you’ll be a good online leader & remember that, while the initial details are going to lead people down a 411 path, the second set of info certainly indicates that human murder is likely the cause. Please help everyone remember that real people are grieving this fine young man, we like ghost stories but are not fanciful in cases like this, & please let people know how horrifying it is to postulate online about monsters when grief is fresh. He was a nice young man, salt of the earth, a local laborer in an economy quickly pushing out blue collar people. He was a helper & a giver. And there may be an axe killer on the loose, which is NOT exciting when it’s local.

[@TheLoreLodge]

@@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory I hadn’t heard about this specific case, could you give me a name?

[@abcdefghijklmno66109]

I'm a hunter. When tracking an animal the gate or stride changes the tracks. The rear paw will often land in the track made by the front paw. This makes the print look like a single track. Coyote tracks are dangerous to follow because when a pack walks they will walk in the same tracks made by the leader. You think you are tracking one but you are following four or five animals. Large tracks, looks bipedal, and couldn't be identified. Sounds like a juvenile bear. Shelter destroyed, threatening sounds, and finally someone died without being eaten. My opinion- they were camped near a bear den. They followed a baby bear tracks and momma bear tried to scare them off. They didn't leave so she killed one that was isolated as a final warning. Then the last trapper packed up and left.

I live in Missoula, MT. I occasionally visit the Big Hole for fishing and the Battlefield there. I was in the National Guard and was activated during the fires of 2020. While hiking through the surrounding mountains there, our wild land firefighter guides would sometimes direct our attention to certain noises throughout the day and were 100% convicted that a Sasquatch was stalking us. We were on the back side of Battle Mountain when we heard the noises, in mostly burnt, but dense dead trees and brush. I think I had myself and 4 or 5 other guys from my unit with me and one or two guides. One day our orders were to patrol the area and watch for any new fires starting (if any). It’s a very quiet forest, you’d be lucky to hear birds on occasion, but maybe that’s because there were active fires only a couple miles away from us. The noises ranged from weird huge thuds and to random snapping of larger than average branches or something similar to that. I always thought that some of the guides were a little odd, they all had an indirect experience with a Sasquatch. Or so they claimed. Some of them had a thousand yard expression on their face when retelling their story, and a few others just refuse to tell theirs at all because they didn’t want to think about it. And the newer guides couldn’t wait to have an experience like that of their own, as if it were a right of passage. Never believed in the idea, but when I took my daughter fishing with me this year I herd the noises again but closer. We went to the Big Hole Battlefield to check out the replica mountain howitzer on the mountain side. I’m a big military history nerd and the Nez Perce war really interests me, from Capt. Rawn and Ft. Missoula to Col. Gibbon’s morning assault on the Nez Perce village, it’s a honey hole of Civil War heroes in a place far from the places like Battle of Pea Ridge or Chattanooga. We’re leaving Montana soon, and my daughter has never been there before so I thought I’d be fun to show her before we leave. I’ve hike the trail from the parking lot to the cannon a handful of times now, but the last time with her was very quiet and odd even for how quiet it can normally be. The hike up was fine but the hike down was flat out spooky. We heard a loud thud that echoed down the mountain, not once but four times and with each time it got louder to the point in which you could feel the vibrations through your shoes. My daughter was clearly nervous and I tried my best to maintain my composure to ensure her that we were okay. Unfortunately though we hadn’t walked through the dense part of the trail leading down yet. Like when I was on fires all I could see through the trees after a while was a heavy collection of dead trees in the distance. To the point where I couldn’t see past them. Towards the “Siege Area” part of the battlefield we began to hear what sounded like inaudible voices. Sounded like someone trying to get the attention of someone else. Just quick a “Hey!” Kind of sound. There were at least 6 other people on the battlefield with us that day. Once my daughter and I were off Battle Mountain I would find out that all of them were at the Village part, a substantial distance away from us across Ruby Creek. I definitely want to go back there again one day, but maybe with bear spray next time.

[@hangsolow216]

Wow

[@retriever19golden55]

Even without the weirdness you experienced, I'd imagine that battlefield was pretty affecting. Among others on both sides, Lt. Bradley died there, a man who was one of the first to come upon the sight of Custer and his dead troopers. Bradley wrote his account of Gibbon's expedition there; it's still available, and he was a gifted author. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to continue his journal after they arrived at Little Big Horn, and he was killed at Big Hole soon after, so we don't have his account of what he saw. He was also a student of Montana history; a shame he died so young and we don't have further writings from him.

Sounds like a highly territorial Wildman (Sasquatch). 1 Walks upright . 2 Very large. 3 Strong odor stinch smell. 4. Powerful enough to break a mans neck. There are other accounts of Wildmen (Sasquatch) killing humans by ripping their heads off. 5. Seems to stay away from fire. Hardest part of the story for me to believe that they split up after everything they had experienced. It's kind of like what you see in most horror movies.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

To be fair, horror movie tropes sometimes just happen IRL, the Maneating Lions of Tsavo is a true story full of what we'd consider horror movie clichés, but the book writen to recount the story was written before horror movies were even a thing. Seriously, it's got a ton of the classics: the monster ominously announcing it's presence with load roars one night to ratchet up the tension, bit being silent on others to enable a shocking surprise death, the trap that works, only for the beast to escape, the hero has the Lion in his sights, but the gun misfires letting it get away, the scene where the dying beast gets back up from being shot to try to score one last kill only to be put down by one more shot, and a ton of others I'm probably forgetting...

[@braddeyoung8701]

@RipOffProductionsLLC I know the story it does seem fantastic. The best part was when they hired a professional hunter, and he was immediately attacked when he got off the train by one of the lions.

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

@braddeyoung8701 Oh yes, that's another good one. Stories like Tsavo make you understand why we have legends and myths of monsters and demons that dwell in the dark. After all, imagine how much worse such interactions with predators were in times before guns, or even farther back in the times before metallurgy, or even farther into the age long forgotten when fire was still a barely understood art... Suddenly, our stone age ancestors hunting megafauna to extinction everywhere they went feels a lot more justified.

Hiya, I'm of the Saawanooki people (part of the Algonquin people) and I have a little correction to add to your information about the Wendigo. The term actually isn't applied to just anyone who consumes human flesh; and eating human flesh wouldn't cause you to become Wendigo in every case. it's a very specific word used to describe a very specifictype of being. There was something referred to as "Wendigo Sickness" which could cause bouts of cannibalistic insanity to a human, but wouldn't always end up with them becoming a Wendigo or even treated as such. It's also not entirely true that if someone was suspected/found out about being a Wendigo that they would be hunted and executed; rather, we had methods and good medicine to help revert them, though this wasn't always successful. It involved getting it to drink heated fat, usually from a bear. Ironically, we even have several stories that depict humans (adults and children) encountering them and, rather than acting on the fear and horror they felt after encountering it, they chose to approach it with love and kindness and would call it father or mother, and act as though it truly was, despite how scared they were of it. Over time, the being's heart softened and warmed, and it viewed them as its family to protect, which would later lead to opportunities to get it to drink the melted bear fat so its heart could be thawed and it could be "cured". However, we kind of also have like...a couple "species variants" of the Wendigo, if that makes sense? Some are viewed as purely cursed beings, others are viewed as something human yet not, divine yet not, alive yet not. It's hard to explain. You did great with the other bits of it though! Getting accurate information on these kind of things as a non-native can be really difficult, especially since most of the information available on the surface is often wrong or missing a lot of info, so hopefully this helped

When camping in an area with bears, it's advised to put your food in a bag and hang it up a tree, because it's better if a bear climbs up and gets it, than to have said bear climb into your tent and wake you in the middle of the night by standing on top of you, looking for food. Assuming they did something like that and simply didn't mention it in the story, the bear would be walking on its hind legs trying to reach the food. And cats are known for being quite well versed in putting their rear legs exactly into the footprint of the front legs, thus making footprints that appear to be bipedal.

It's the "wild romp of glee" part that gets me, that's not very animalistic, but more the kind of thing a madman would do after killing a person. Or perhaps a vengeful bigfoot? Who's to say it's NOT two separate creatures? The first gets shot and wanders off to die, only for its companion to come back for vengeance. All in all, it makes sense that Teddy would assume Mountain Lion. It is a very 'rational' answer, far more than a wildman or bigfoot.

Kind of hard to see at night even with a torch. There's absolutely no background light in the mountains. Especially back then

If you believe the creatures we crush beneath our feet affect our future then maybe thats why God has abandoned us.

[@stephanybrown3226]

@@snowfox94 it's a joke based on theory of time travel. Some think if we made it possible to physically go back in time changing something would alter your time because of the butterfly effect. This is just all in fun not serious fam.

I want it on the record: You are the only creator, whose videos I can watch repeatedly, this is my 3rd or 4th watch of this video... In order to actually absorb the information.

[@TeganWelsch-Rainek]

Since the 1960s, the San Luis Valley in Colorado has seen mysterious animal mutilations, mainly involving cattle with precise cuts, missing organs, and no blood. The unexplained nature of these incidents has fueled speculation about natural causes, government testing, or extraterrestrial activity. I would love for you to look into it.

[@Princess_Celestia_]

They aren't unexplained, woo peddlers just don't like the explanation. When a cow gets scared, it negatively effects it's immune system. The cow will get very sick and die. A cow that's healthy one day can get spooked, catch pneumonia and be dead 24 hours later. When it's got no heartbeat, it won't bleed from any external wounds giving the appearances of being drained of blood. Insects come along and attack the softest parts of the animal's exterior, the eyes, mouth, nose and anus to get at the soft tissue under the thick hide. As the body dries out, the hide gets taught and those wounds caused by the insects stretch out giving the appearance of being caused by precise cuts from surgical instruments with no blood. My gramps has been raising cattle since the 1920's and still does it today. I've personally seen this very thing happen multiple times. Nothing mysterious about it when you know why and how it happens. Oh, and the ranchers who report these "cattle mutilations" and claim they don't know what causes it, they're lying. They know exactly what causes it and they're just screwing with people for fun.

This is pretty awesome, I elk hunt in the Steel Creek National Forest right next to Wisdom MT, and often I can see Wisdom while hunting, and go there often to eat while out there. It's a beautiful view from the mountains.

When I've heard the story, never read it directly from Teddy, I've always heard the story mentioning Baumann's Teutonic upbringing as influencing the story to be fantastical like you mentioned with elves briefly.

[@bobboau7364]

Oh look! The type of content I subscribed for!

[@andreweden9405]

Bauman's account via Teddy Roosevelt is literally among the very first things I ever read as a kid. My grandparents had this book in their living room called "Unexplained Mysteries" or something to that effect. That story aroused my imagination like nothing else, and it left a permanent impression on my mind. I think it was a Dogman.

[@Sa-ih6il]

Ahh, yes, one of the classics

[@mapcogasstation9021]

His Ranch was in between Watford city and Medora North Dakota. Just finished a season as a park ranger there. Never had any spooky things happen there in 6 months.

[@scarecrowheaux]

'the path had an evil reputation' was the literary hook that got me

[@vimerveilles]

There's something special about these guys who narrate scary stories of monsters and missing people in the wilderness, then have fan meetups that are essentially camping trips.... in those same wilderness areas.

Hey y'all, I'm in Benson NC, USA, and we have trail cam pics of 3 black bears hanging out in the woods behind my single-wide, 50 yards out. I'm from the suburbs of Detroit. Friggin' exciting! We clap the intro to Car Wash when we go outside now.

I like the idea Bauman exaggerated the story and it was a combo bear and mountain lion attack

Great presentation They never disappoint

[@Jiggashmu]

By far, your best opening line 👏

[@Machinist-jz5zy]

I dont think the wendigo is completely off the table. Hear me out. Bauman said two things that stick out to me. Firstly, he called out while approaching camp, and two The other trappers body was still warm when he discovered it. Be it supernatural or not, it seems possible that a wendigo could have killed the trapper a few minutes before Bauman arrived, but then heard him calling out as he approached camp. Knowing Bauman would be armed, the wendigo conceals it's self near by. Bauman finds the dead trapper before it can strike, and now his guard is up. He relinquishes all of his gear and takes off down the trail, leaving the dead trapper behind, and the wendigo, who has already almost been shot by this man once. Takes the meal its already killed and let's Bauman go.

[@victory8928]

Makes sense to me, though a wedigo wouldn’t fear bullets (you need to burn its heart or just burn it to death to kill it, you can dismember it though prior to burning) it would fear the axe more

[@Princess_Celestia_]

Wendigo are described as being evil spirits that possesses the bodies of humans that have eaten another human ergo it's footprints would be human sized, ergo it can't possibly be a wendigo. In all due likelihood, it was bear that rummaged their camp and the hunting partner was killed by a cat just moments before the other hunter returned which startled the cat enough to make it run off and hide.

Ive heard of animals (specifically cats) taking their steps with front paws then placing their rears in the initial prints, i believe this is done to minimize possible noise while anticipating food

[@michaelwarenycia7588]

Cat tracks would be obviously way smaller though. Plus the mountain lion would probably eat its prey.
