Bigfoot: Sightings and Experiences in The 1800s 

Hey all, something completely different today but after reading the comments of the video I made on Casey Hathaway, I thought that there may be enough people who'd enjoy a break and a look at something different. We will be back to covering disappearances in the next video, and I already have a few in mind that I'd like to cover. I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on Bigfoot in general and if you make it far enough, your thoughts on the Casey update aswell so please do share them

"What did he look like?" "Well he wasn't wearing a hat, chief" 😂😂

This channel has evolved into a premium channel! The research you do on each subject alone puts you ahead of your peers! Combined with actually putting your sources in the description box and not using the same footage as other channels! Awesome work!

I live in Spokane, WA mentioned in one of the stories. There is a lake near by called Skookum a native word associated with Bigfoot.

Oh my god the idea of Casey running into a random furry in the woods is absolutely hilarious.

"Watch out for that guy, he breaks big sticks. Definatly big foot" Guy that lived in the woods by himself 150 years ago

"Subject is hatless! Repeat, hatless!"

in 411 disappearances, people often disappear close to wild berries, and the story of the wildman who love to eats berries kinda link those 2 things together

The first scientific description of a gorilla was in 1847, and some species (as we know them today) not discovered until late 1902. So calling them “gorilla” in the 1800’s America is unlikely. So “wild man” would be how they would best describe it.

Something that's important to remember (hi, I'm a history nerd) is that newspapers back in the 1800s and earlier were just as affected by the inability to really fact check things as the people reading them. They could post whatever wild stories they wanted, because there would be no way to verify or disprove said stories. Entire tall tales of ships sinking that never existed, vicious monsters, disappearances, etc were all printed in that time. Often the papers printing these stories knew full well they were false, but they drew in readers and produced no repercussions, so much of the information you can find in papers regarding these things is wholly false. That being said, just to clarify, I'm not a disbeliever or believer of bigfoot. It's just something worth thinking about.

I live in West Virginia and I've got no doubt that Sasquatch could live here,even thrive here! Plenty of back woods to stay hidden,plenty of wild game,berries,mushrooms,roots to eat. Basically the perfect habitat..😏

Bigfoot stuff usually makes me roll my eyes becasuse it usually the same thing over and over, but this was a refreshing take! Very interesting hearing stories from the 1800s. Very well done, thank you!

Canada, and Alaska. There are dozens of sightings each month; each week during the warmer months. Most of them are around 8 feet.

"His height considerably exceeded 6 foot" that statement makes the chief out to be quite a bit taller than 6ft

What's even more troublesome is that we still debate their existence.

Patagonia means 'Land of the Big Feet' and apparently dates back to the mid-1500s when the Portuguese explorers arrived and encountered the Big Feet people who were a race of very tall wild humans, averaging 7 to 9 feet tall. They had very large feet and went barefoot but clothed themselves with furs. The Portuguese traded with them for a time but apparently they were almost extinct already and eventually they stopped coming around, maybe out of caution or maybe the last of them died. When the Portuguese asked the native (normal-sized) people about the Big Feet, the natives said the Big Feet were the original inhabitants of the land and used to be more numerous in times past, but it was difficult for them to survive since the climate had changed and the Big Feet needed a lot of food.

Great hearing back from you Adam!!.. Thanks for the updates and scrolling through our comments.. Take care & stay safe. 🦅

Hi Adam! I have been a subscriber for a very long time, but never have commented as I watch your channel from my tv (no option there for typing). Anyway, I wanted to tell you that this presentation you've done is remarkable! Really enjoyed this one. I enjoy all the videos you do, but this one really struck me. Thank you for all of your research and the time you put into getting this information out. Have a great day and I look forward to all of your videos. Thank you....

The way your sat in that chair in the thumbnail makes it look like your sporting a pretty impressive mullet.

That bigfoot statue had the most glorious hairdo I have ever seen! lol

I wanna say that its extremely unlikely it was a furry because fursuits can cost from hundreds to a couple thousand dollars and NOBODY would go out into the woods in one

4:49 “that bear has been walking on 2 legs” Imagine how scary or creepy that would be to hear

God bless you an everyone else who reads this!

Maybe if they called him by his real name, he’d be more friendly.

Great presentation Adam. Myself, I’ve done a lot of research into the Bigfoot phenomena, and it really depends on your interpretation of events. In the early cases people described what they witnessed expressively as they saw them in that era. Today there is overwhelming evidence that Sasquatch is a real phenomenon but for some reason is being covered up. There is only one person I can trust on this, and that is Steve on his RU-vid channel, howtohunt. There are other great sources like MountainBeast Mysteries, and Justin’s Channel is just as inspirational. Keep safe everyone.

“Give me some grass” Lol. Have you ever watched ( The Last of the Dogmen) ? About a tribe of Native Americans hiding and surviving in the Catskills mountains. Kinda like Cherokee N.C. That was established by Cherokee who escaped from the Trail of Tears.I wonder if he was talking about something else when he was asking for grass. Love the new look of the channel.🎯👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. On a side note, my family and I went to see the Brown Mountain Lights last week. They don’t come close to what my friend and I saw...but are truly freaky. Well , I commented before finishing. In the movie,( Last of the Dogmen) the Native American caught in the movie is called Jacko. 🤷🏼‍♂️. Oh crap, great ending.🎯

Just wanted to say that I think your channel is great, I binge watch all the videos since I discovered your channel. Very informative, detailed, interesting information and respectful, considering the stuff you talk about. Keep up the good work Adam. All the best x

Adam, if you want to understand what's really happening with this topic, look no further than Steve Isdahl. He's got a site called How to hunt, he's a Canadien who's just brought out his first book on the topic called the day Bigfoot became real for me. He's also mates with Dave Polides, and together they're trying to bring to the publics attention these beings are real, and exist in every Nation on Earth.

I like this format Adam!! It's a nice mix between your old videos and your new ones. Feels more personal this way. As always I respect the amount of research and time you put into your videos. Very impressive! Keep up the great work!

I rarely watch content on Bigfoot but I'm glad this popped up. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's a great overview. Thanks, man!

💫 Happy 2nd anniversary! (Oct 31). 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈 CONGRATULATIONS! 🎊🎈🌟🎊🎈🌟🎊🎈🌟 It's amazing how much you've accomplished and evolved in 2 years and how your channel has grown. You do such great work and you're also a lovely person. Keep up the good work. 🌬🌬🙏💕✌🏻 EDIT: ...and thanks for what you do and for all the interesting stories. 👍

“Place the under their skins without waking them “. That’s interesting in that I’ve thought about that only is was a more recent disappearance. If they covered them they too would be cloaked from anyone, i think this story has some cred to it.

I am an avid hiker and I had a Bigfoot encounter. I am 99% certain they exist. I say this because I must acknowledge that there is a slight possibility that it was the largest man I've ever seen dressed in a very elaborate and expressive Hollywood grade costume. Not only did I see this being, I heard and felt it's footsteps as it strided away. I was close enough that we literally locked eyes just before it left. My adrenaline was through the roof. I have come to the conclusion that these beings are not of this world. I believe they travel here on literal vacation. Using modes of travel beyond our comprehension. Mayby even transdimentional. I'm not sure how I know, but they have no bad intentions. I work in physics and this is the first time I have stated this in public. The only person I ever told before this was my mother, out of fear of repercussions with my work.

Dude I am glad I found you... you are bloody Awesome💯💯💯 New Subbie❤️🇦🇺

Teddy Roosevelt was an unusual man by any standards. He was an avid hunter, conservationist, prolific writer, and he also created the very first national park in the US. What most people don't know is that he may have been among the very first mix martial artist. He boxed, wrestle, trained in Judo and Jiujitsu; he was also the holder of the very first US brown belt in Judo awarded to him by Yoshiaki (Yoshitsugu) Yamashita who not only introduced Judo to the US, but taught Judo at the US Naval Academy. Roosevelt was a man who did not tolerate fakes and would not hesitate to call them so to their face. That he would be so convinced of the veracity of Bauman's story to include it in his book is a testimony of how convincing Bauman was.

I'm definitely a Bigfoot believer, but I saw an interesting documentary where it was proven that bears can cause tracks that look like giant human footprints if they're walking in a certain way, so I'm a little more skeptical of accounts of just big footprints. Also, just an interesting sidenote: if a hog escapes its pen into the wild, it will begin growing fur and tusks within a year. So maybe Bigfoot is just a man who made a choice.

This was so entertaining! I really needed a good laugh and you were perfect. The very thought of hatless Germans eating grass is more than I can take in. LOL

Anyone listening on headphones thought he said “fairies” instead of “furries” and got really confused? Just me? Ok 👌🏻

I really like your take on Bigfoot, different from the usually fare. I appreciate it ❤️

"He wasn't wearing a hat." "He looked like a German." lol Thank you this is a terrific video. Subscribed and looking forward to more.

I've been a huge fan of this channel for a while now but I was wondering what you could possibly do a video on possible aliens in the woods like sightings or encounters. Thank you please stay safe brother

Love the thumbnail, u look like a Viking with long hair, lol. Love your work Adam.

I think this is the first time I see you on camera man, that's cool

More Top Mysteries goodies. So excited to watch this right now :D

Can you imagine that there were once forests so massive and dense that one could travel through them for months without ever seeing the light of day.

Hehe, I'm loving the little peeks into your personality that were getting, you're adorable 🖤

"Give me some grass."

Jacko was portrayed in the movie Last of the Dogmen as a wild indian boy.

Man I'm glued to this channel, your stuff is so good!

I'm Quileute Native. Grew up on our land in the PNW of WA state in the Olympics. We have the largest untouched rain forest in the inland US, called the Hoh River Rainforest. This area in particular is very VERY remote. Only one hwy in and out going to Clallam County and often get snowed in every year. Skookum is a Salish word, the Tlinglet, Chimikum and Inuit people (among more perhaps) inhabit from the top of California all the way up to Alaska on the coast. Our art (Haida), and even our clan names are specifically named after known animals, the Quileute are the wolf clan just like in Twilight unfortunately, but our sister tribe was the frog clan, etc etc. Our art extended to our lodge homes and totum poles, and we have many MANY animals depicted. But what none of us have...is a large hairy man at all...big feet or not. We only depicted real animals that we saw and shared our lands with. We have many MANY stories all of you can look at on our websites, we try hard to codify them all and have them available. We call them Raven Tales, in light of that our ancestors believed a Raven came to us all and shape-shifting us into the humans we are now. If more proof is needed...look up Mount Saint Helen's and research as much as you can about it. When it blew, it was massive enough to kill off an entire species of bird, and killed millions of other animals from mice to humans. The ash cloud from it, can still be seen from space floating in our atmosphere. It created a huge crator lake (now named that) and large lahars that dumped inp the columbia river. Many locals helped with clean up, but not one Sasquatch. Not one big foot, not one big hairy primate at all was ever found dead. Anyways....Sasquatch, Skookum, Quiklack, and other names of big wild men...exist only in our stories. Our ancestors, like now, liked a good story as much as you and I! And PS....my people were very tall. Chief Se'talile (Seattle) was over 6 ft. We lived off of the Sea. Salmon and other omega 3 fatty diets created a large difference than the plains natives everyone always pictures

I am subscribed to a couple of channels like this one. But yes! I agree with everyone else. You have the best info and you can definitely tell you do your homework. ALSO…. your the only one I see ACTUALLY taking/responding to these comments! Your awesome man. Looooooove your accent!! So dreamy 🥰

Was just seeing the case of the boy, and now we getting a more close analysis on the Big Foot creature.

Your work is superb my friend. Cool set btw. I have been a Bigfoot enthusiast since I was a boy. I am a believer but I also would love to witness discernible proof. I do not support harming these creatures. I do hope we can learn from them. Cheers from NC!!🍻🙏👍

Theodore Roosevelt also refused to kill a 🐻 on an expedition and with that the term teddy bear came into existence

“He looked like a German” As a Polak this adds another level of fright to the story.

Interesting research. It is unusual to hear new things about this topic but I had never heard one or two of those historical articles. I remain neutral on this topic but have always been fascinated by the sheer number of sightings by different people.

Very interesting , reporters back in the day may have embellished some stories to sell Newspapers but there had to be some sort of truth to start with. Have subscribed as I like the way you tell History . From the UK

I always hit the 👍 icon prior to watching! I know the video will be exceptional, with wonderful narration, engaging commentary, thorough research, diligently cited sources and out-of-this-world production value!! Thank you, thank you, thank you @Top Mysteries for dedicating alot of time and effort to your channel...you should be very proud of the content you create! I'm going to go eat some grass now...hehehe! 😉👍👣🏕🔮😳🕵🤔💙🏔🎒👋 ✴✴✴just a quick note: "terra firma" is Latin for "dry land"

I'm just binge watching a bunch of your videos. Very interesting. I know a few people that have seen a family of big foot not far from here.

🤣🤣 your commentary on this was great! I was LOL! "You may cringe and have an aneurism!" Classic. Good video!

Hey mate, me and my misses broke up less than 12 months ago. I just wanted to let you know, that being partially linked to Motörhead and this channel means more than my entire life. Much love from Australia

Love this video bro. Excellent work Adam. I love the humor!

Love your dedication and professionalism to these topics

Wow that was by far my favorite of all your work! The research you did is just on point. I never believed in bigfoot till two summers ago, when my wife and I had an experience in glacier np. The whistle description in e walker letter is all I have to say about that! Also we live in Victoria bc, and bigfoot is a common topic there, I mean in general throughout British columbia, if you are interested further more!

Ahh my favourite topic nice one top mysteries 👍👍👍

You've done deeper research than bigfoot researchers. Good job I love your voice.

Loved this, I think you're getting better and better 😁

Adam is a straight up accented gangster!!!! love your videos my friend your accent is epic as F^$%

Very nicely covered my dear!!

Great vid as always Adam 👍👊🇬🇧

Great video. Idk I how I feel about the whole situation but I love hearing about it.... maybe you could look into the appearance of UFO sightings around the same time of Bigfoot/creature sightings... more than you think line up around the same time and area

This is the best RU-vid video you have ever presented! Bravo!

I have been away for a while but... OMG its your face! Glad to have one to accompany the voice.

We should go into the Appalachian mountains, install EVERYTHING. Night vision cameras, motion detectors, infrared cameras.

Great job with the vid TM, enjoyed it

If you've ever read "eaters of the dead", Jacko (or however you spell it) sounds 90% similar to how the creatures in that book were described, and it is considered to be a firsthand account from a long time ago. Worth looking in to if this stuff interests you.

Our people we're giants...apart from feathers shells, bone & other native ecological species like jade n greenstone - we carved tattoos on our faces! British admiral Captain Cook drew n painted personal art works depicting these people with such features & skill.....tuned in from Aotearo@N.Z👊

Wow the research you do and the empathy and neutrality that you present the information with is amazing. Your videos are awesome 👏

Great Videos , well done 👍

I'm just stuck on you not knowing what terra firma was but apart from that, I found it really interesting hearing the descriptions of people from so long ago, describing incidents that people described in our time. Those whistles and rock-throwing are so very interesting. Didn't we as humans miss out so much by destroying the natives of the land because their ancestors carried so much valuable information from the past. I believe the native Americans about giants from the past, they obviously experienced these things creatures and knew how to avoid them or track them

The Wildman @13:21 just wanted some grass... he just wanted to spark up! No reason to jump him and tie him up! Poor stoner! Even back then we were so misunderstood.

Love the work bruda great for doing my paperwork at the office alone in the dark 👌

I don't think people can actually eat grass,, cows and such have extra stomachs to do so. I just about died laughing listening to the second case... "give me some grass-- uh ok"-- just made my whole week. Too funny.

NEW SUBSCRIBER💯 GREAT WORK👍

I don't know if I believe in Big foot or not but this is what happened to me and my cousin. We live in Northern Michigan in the woods on a paved road. We have several lakes and streams in the area. Lots of wild life. One summer night at around 3:00 am. (both my cousin and I are night owls), My cousin walked out to the mailbox to post a letter and I was in the house. All the windows were open and also the front door. While she was walking back from the mailbox she and I heard a extremely loud, WOOOOOOOOOO! It seemed to get louder and stronger as it went. It lasted about 10 to 15 seconds. My cousin came in the house and said did you hear that? What was that?? I said I did hear it and had no idea what it could be. I have heard a lot of wild animals and can say emphatically that I have never heard that before or since. Big foot?

Been following this mystery for a few years now. If you heard many cases than you guys know that not all are completely similar right? We have people who have fallen from great heights, without the presence of a mountain or other high place in the vicinity. Than we have dead people who have no wounds or anything, found almost like they fell asleep no determined cause of death. Than we have cases were the remains are found, pieces of bones with some clothing for example. Than we have children lost than found who say bears watched over them. These cases although all mysterious have differences right? So that means that there are more people/things behind this. Lets start with people who fell from high above. How can you fall from so high without high ground? Lets get a bit silly but seriously, but i have no other explanation for this. - Aliens took him and than dumped his body from their ship, would explain why they fell from so high without mountains and so on. - Gravitational anomaly, like you know you hike around than bam you are pulled up and than fall to your death. ( We have strange vortexes in the USA thats where the idea came from ) Dead people without wounds no determined cause of death. Now this is a crazy one ( not that any of these are normal ) - There are countless legends of demons, monsters and the like that sucks literally your soul out. Djinn or for example the Hungarian Liderc and many more. They lead you away from civilization than torture you mentally to feed on your fear and despair. ( There are a few recorded phone calls that you can find where you hear the victims suffering, but i dont know if fake or real ) - The body found is not the original one, they took them somewhere and to stop the searching they put a ''clone'' or something like that down to confuse us. Would explain why they dont give the autopsy report out or just limited info. Remains are found many years later, no signs or predation. - Maybe they really got lost and just died because hypothermia and yeah searchers were not so good. I personally think this cant be the case. - Some kind of animal/creature took em deep underground and later dumped the remains outside. ( would explain why the dogs dont find the scent or they do but only in a limited radius ) - They got into a portal and well it ripped them apart, maybe an unstable one or they were on the '' other side '' killed there and later dumped back here. Folded clothing for me looks almost like a ritual thing. Kids kidnapped by bears or lost but a bear took care of them. - Sasquatch or some other human like creature that we still know nothing about. They have empathy and a verry strong one, they feel your emotional state from miles away. You know female Squatch mother instincts scenario. My theory is that if they exist thats why they hate electronics, smashed phones and cameras that are found you know. Why now so many cases and they keep increasing ? Well maybe some weird thing is happening that we know nothing about. Maybe humans are pushing them out of their territory or all the electronics that we build near/in nature is driving them mad. Are we the bad ones here and they are just defending their turf or maybe some yes but others are evil? What do you think guys?

Top mysteries, you ever going on an outdoors expedition? 🤠

Thanks for the upload TM👍 Rob UK

I love these old "wild man" stories. They prove to me that Bigfoot has been here longer than we have.

Good digging, never heard this one!

Best way to avoid big foot, arm your self with a 4khd camera

I love the little giggle pauses :D

why do people dislike? these are great stories with great narration.

Ty for ur Channel I Lv It !!! Great video 👣😇👣

A new favorite channel 🥰☺️👏

"Jacko's" description sounds more like a chimpanzee to me.. And likely, not having the internet at that time, (as you previously state) there's a possibility that the people who captured him had 1, Never actually seen a chimp, 2, didn't know what a chimp looked like or, 3,what a chimp even was.. He could've been brought in from his indigenous country by ship, then attempting transport by train to a destination as a live animal for a personal collection, zoo or a circus then escaped or was released by the captors of they were unfamiliar with their tool usage, intelligence and especially strength and ferocity (when need be). He was described as being 4"tall.. Just seems like a chimpanzee could be the species of Jacko, to be.

Thank you sir for a very interesting video as far as jacko things of great importance has actually been lost and forgot from our past all through out history unfortunately.

Top shelf man. Very fascinating

I love all your work sir!

The narrator repeatedly says if the stories were true, then we would SURELY know that bigfoot were a reality today.... but he himself, who did the research, seemingly is rejecting what was reported, which is EXACTLY why we don't know for sure about bigfoot.
