They Saw The Beast | A Shenandoah Sasquatch Encounter You Won’t Believe

Loved listening to Nathan so thank you for putting up his link so I can subscribe to him.

[@cherylknepper8434]

what an awesome story teller he is & such a knowledge of history! This was great to listen to! Thank you!

[@marygatdula2744]

I enjoyed this one. I would have like a little more stories of the Bigfoot experiences, but I still enjoyed hearing some history of the area and the family. He had some interesting theories.

47:05 Bigfoot sighting story (sort of). You're welcome

[@dsbmitchell]

Thank you. I was planning on doing this myself. Funny, because way back at the 30 minute mark is when he is first asked to share about his first encounter. Seems like Nathan wanted to share more about his family than about Hairy Man, which is fine, but I think the title of the episode should be changed.

[@Kidacemindo]

Great episode!! The people with the comments of negativity of not having enough Bigfoot obviously don’t listen? You stated the premise of the episode at the beginning. They really missed the big picture but you hit on the head personally! Keep it up

[@jimieljoseph2322]

Yes sir, agreed. There is much to to be learned from everyone's personal encounters if one pays close attention to the little details that most people either ignore or refuse to accept as 'the important' little issue at the time, that could even save your life.

[@jasonsmith7518]

Sasquatch AKA Bigfoot are not monsters, they are people like humans are, but they're different, especially in their abilities. Sasquatch are like humans; there are good ones and bad ones, but most are good. You hear about the Sasquatches that are 6 -12 feet tall, but most of them are less than 2 feet tall. Here's the twist, Sasquatch can understand English and they can communicate with you via mind speak. What's mind speak you ask? It's when you receive an image or words in your mind that you know didn't come from you. If you ever see a Sasquatch DO NOT shoot at it, because you'll be inviting retribution. Should you encounter one, tell them you mean them no harm and you're only there to get a deer or an elk to feed your family. As a gesture of goodwill, you will leave them the liver, entrails, and maybe a hind quarter. I have had a lot of experiences with the Sasquatch People and they've never hurt me. Please don't think they are an undiscovered ape or a relic hominid because it's nonsense. They are highly evolved, very intelligent, and have abilities that challenge our understanding of science. Again, never point or shoot your gun at one because they can find you anywhere. Please treat them with respect, don't go looking for them, and everything will be okay.

[@firstlast2514]

Yeah but humans can and are the worst kind of monster currently known on this planet. The DNA shows the Sasquatch are hybrid human with something unknown. Then I guarantee they can also be monsters

[@johncopen6029]

This episode was BRUTAL!! Not even kidding!!! This channel use to be actually really good and about Bigfoot I looked forward every Sunday for the new episode but DAMN…..All of us that watch and subscribe we watch to see Bigfoot material, research, witness accounts, investigations but this channel has started either run out of material or lost touch of what people that watch actually want. This was so bad I looked forward to the Ads……. Not trying to be mean but if I wanted to sit for an hour and hear about baskets I would watch KZbin videos about baskets!!!! Seriously Small town monsters needs to take a step back and really look at what they are putting out or as I suspect will be losing ALOT of followers and subscribers…..Will give another episode or so and if it doesn’t change and actually start being about Bigfoot research and related I’m out!!! Just my 2 cents

[@carlosjimenez3152]

I agree with u 100%.

[@MOB469-g4p]

💯 this episode and much of the previous ones were a huge waste of time watching! Fucking lame

[@sulsulautumn]

That and the videos that are literally just documenting camping trips have started to sour me. I get that they need to generate content so they can pay their bills between between their bigger projects, but this isn't the way to do it.

[@MOB469-g4p]

@ agreed 💯. The quality of the content matters

[@kateharris1210]

What I've noticed is that they take a lot of the exact same interviews and put them in different docs, like I'll be watching a "new" doc and I've seen the exact same interviews already. It's like they take the exact same interviews and then use them as filler in later docs. I mean I'm happy to watch anything, and the quality is always good, but some of the content is really repetitive. That's my only complaint.

[@christophercrowder872]

I understand the value of documenting the history of the families and people who live in the areas that are considered Sasquatch habitat. I also understand the value in documenting the personal stories of the people who live "among" the Sasquatch. Having said that, this vid could have benefitted from some extensive editing. Most of it seemed like footage that should be included as a DVD Extra. Ultimately, this felt to me more like a documemtary about the guy than about Sasquatch encounters in the area. Especially since he references another person who shared some of his experiences AND had some of their own. Just my two cents. Still a fan of the channel. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@christophergabler2262]

I see a lot of negative comments. I guess the "Instant Gratification" community were incapable of hearing the underlying message. I personally thoroughly enjoyed the whole episode and the history woven within the story by Nathan.

[@Doom2pro]

When you click a video that says sasquash story encounter you expect to see one, not 47 minutes of something unrelated.

[@cecileroy557]

@@Doom2proThat's true - but there was a disclaimer... right at the beginning!

[@kateharris1210]

The problem is the title. People watched expecting to hear an encounter, and instead got a history lesson and basket-making class. At the title had been different, the comments wouldn't be so negative.

It would be so awesome if the national park there, offered, in paid conjunction with Nathan, classes for high school and college kids, to teach them these tradesmen skills..This would keep these traditions alive, and teach a new generation these skills. Maybe even offer an internship for students who want to work using these skills, with the national park and forestry services. What an amazing program and opportunity that would be!

[@Tenskwatawa4U]

Thanks, STM crew. This was absolutely superb! My favorite output of your so far, by a long way. I could listen to Nathan all day. In some ways I feel like I just did. He has a familiar way about him. To me, at least. I grew up in Culpeper and I'm more of less part of his dad's generation. Never really a country boy, but I've always felt at ease when I was there. This is definitely one I'll watch again. Bigfoot in Virginia is real. I've felt their gaze before. When Nathan talked about mountain lions, I thought about all the wildlife "experts" and fish and game folks who will blandly assure you no cougars have existed in the state for, whatever, a century? I know they're wrong. A lot of folks know they're wrong. I've had several Bigfoot experiences of my own, though not a sighting. However, mine all occurred in New Mexico and not in Virginia.

Just a suggestion for the talky talky guy. Go get yourself a still setup and distill yourself some hooch that way youve got fuel for your car" if you have one" or truck, then figure out how much a tavern charges for their drinks. Calculate how much to charge so everybody makes a profit then sell it by the gallon. That being done take some shine out and leave a gift for the wildman. Once youve done all that get a camera, take some pics of the drunk bigfoot/ wildman , whatever it is you got out there and post those so we got "proof" instead of hearsay. Then ill take the time to listen to your stories some more

This was different that what I expected, But honestly this was very amazing to listen to, Also, whats the song at the end?

[@cecileroy557]

I had no idea about family displacement in the Shenandoah Valley! I'm originally from MA. We have a beautiful area of wilderness in the western part of our state which came about due to formation of the Quabbin Reservoir. "The Quabbin Reservoir is the largest inland body of water in Massachusetts, United States, and was built between 1930 and 1939." Five towns were displaced - disappearing forever under the water, but it is a wonderful, natural wild area full of game - and predators!!

[@mikewanders]

Love the Quabbin Reservoir area! Theres moose out there too. Pretty cool

[@mickbragg774]

This conversation actually woke me up from sleep at the 50 minute mark when he said 1927, early 1928, Franklin Roosevelt decided he wanted to build a national park. Then he used the old slogan, car in every garage and a chicken in every pot. Actually in late 27, early 28, Frank Roosevelt was in New York trying to learn mobility from paralysis of polio. In 1929, he decided, from the recommendation of his wife Eleanor, to run for governor of New York, which he won. So why would the governor of NY have anything to do with creating a national park in the state of Virginia? Also, the slogan about cars in garage and chickens in the pot was a line used by the actual president at the time, Herbert Hoover. When i hear someone talking in a way so as to tell historical events and miss the mark so bad it makes me think they're fulla sh t.

[@cecileroy557]

It seems logical that if his great granddad got a loan for $700 to a buy a new property/farm but the government DID NOT BUY their original property - then you would sell the new property and pay off the loan for the property. It is very possible he wouldn't have gotten the full $700 he may have spent on the new property - but there's no way he was stuck with the full $700 debt. Hence - no debt was passed down, as you mentioned.

I like your series talks about Virginia which I love. I think you missed a few things with this piece, first of all those homesteaders that resided where the park is today did not purchase that land themselves they took it from the Native American people who resided and hunted there, they got paid for something they took. The other thing that bothered me was his description of hunting and taking resources from the park to live on , hunting and trapping shouldn’t have been allowed. Another thing is when he described the deer walking up to him, of course it did it sees people in the park all the time you can walk up to just about any of them. This whole idea of living off the land is not new the Native Americans did it successfully for generations now things are different and taking from nature is not beneficial with all the land that has been developed and stripped there has to be a place where nature is safe from people like this. I am grateful these parks are here in Va. it’s one of the things that makes this place special. Bigfoots only home is not in the mountains
