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.

[@montananerd8244]

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]

@@montananerd8244 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.

[@dilladinbutler5811]

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.

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.

Indeed, if we take Teddy purely on his word that Bauman was a real man who told this story with great sincerity, then his friend was killed by something unusual in those woods. If the theory that Teddy was using Bauman as a pseudonym to distance himself from his own first-hand account of something strange, then it must have been something very strange indeed.

I have grown up and still live in the PNW. For folks here, that aren’t just little latte liberal city people, big foot is very real. Anyone who has spent a good amount or a lot of time deep in the wilderness here in Oregon and Washington has stories regardless of if they lie to themselves about what it was. I’m convinced that big foot isn’t even the only thing stalking our woods. I never seen one myself but we heard a lot of unexplained sounds that now later in life , after hearing other big foot audio recordings I now know that it’s exactly what I was hearing. Deep in the gorge across the Bridge of the Gods way in deep into Stevenson Washington my family had 26 acres plus all the public land connected to it. So as kids my cousins and I spent a ton of time out alone with 4 wheelers and rifles just roaming and camping and being mountain boys. We were on one of the those camping trips into the interior of the property lines and while by our little fire and tents while listening to the music of the wild we heard crunching about 30 yards away in the bush. We yelled out like coyotes and we got back a Sasquatch mumbling howls and sounds I can’t recreate it sounded like another language of some kind

Bauman's account via Teddy Roosevelt is literally among the very first things I ever read as a kid.

[@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.

If the only footprints around his friend, were bipedal, maybe the marks on his neck weren't made by teeth at all. Maybe, they were made by fingernails, or some kind of weapon. It didn't sound like Bauman stuck around long enough, to make a real thorough investigation of them. Can't say I blame him.

[@Agisek]

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.

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

I first read this story a long time ago in one of Peter Green's books, borrowed from the library. It was the first story that I knew of that directly suggested Bigfoot-Sasquatch could be a nasty, violent creature when crossed. Yes, I do think it was a Sasquatch. The creature acted like one, in its behavior, sounds, tracks, and persistent interaction with humans in its chosen territory. There are any number of recorded encounters at Sasquatch Chronicle alone that offer corroborating evidence, absent the murderous sneak attack. Baumann & his partner didn't do what more contemporary humans would have done and flee the area, and their continued presence caused an attack from a creature irate at their trespassing and being shot at. Not that they had worried about such an attack! As the story said, the two men were armed, experienced frontiersmen used to danger, and were more curious than frightened. They had planned to leave because the trapping seemed scarce, not because there was a booger-man in the woods. Live and learn, eh Baumann? I am sure Baumann was not Theodore Roosevelt under a pseudonym. Roosevelt was a rather dauntless man, and a dedicated sportsman who would've dropped any pretense of hunting or trapping lesser game for the chance to bag the strange creature. Instead of firing just once, he would have fired many times, because in Roosevelt's day rifles were no longer cumbersome muzzle-loaders, but repeating rifles which could rapidly fire many shots. Powerful ones too, as Roosevelt owned a Winchester 1876 rifle chambered for the military .45-70 cartridge. Good against anything on two legs or four, possibly even a sasquatch! And even though he was condescending about Baumann's ethnic background, he didn't call Baumann a liar or stupid, merely suggesting that the old ex-trapper might have mistaken the strange creature for another animal, with imagination filling in details afterward. That's a reasonable suggestion, but it doesn't invalidate the creature being a Sasquatch. For potential Lore Lodge follow-ups, I have two suggestions. First, hunt down records of said Baumann! Men tended not to leave much of an individual record on the frontier, but a single headstone or obituary notice would possibly bury (sic) the impersonation story. Secondly, Theodore Roosevelt himself may have had a fleeting encounter with such a creature later on in life. IIIRC after serving as President he went on a hunting trip to the Cascades, and there heard a sound unknown to anyone in his party.

@@TheLoreLodgethe KZbin algorithm seems to like to push weird things sometimes, so my guess is that it’s not that regular viewers aren’t watching, it’s more that your recent videos aren’t getting pushed as much to non-subscribers. Also a lot of people probably don’t watch during the premiere/on the first day or even the first few days. I used to always watch the premieres but now I can’t because I have work ☹️ so now the weekends are my only time to get caught up on KZbin videos and stuff like that, pretty much.
