The fact that this story involves a dude named Hank Hill is the best part for me.

I am an adult. I am 38 years old. I laughed uncontrollably at "Big Fussy"

As a Pacific Northwesterner and a fellow Bigfoot I can honestly say yes. We're definitely stalking the Loggers up here.

Every time someone mentions Giants I half expect Wendigoon to make a cameo appearance.

I am an adult. I am 26 years old. I am not grown. 😂😂😂

I'm gonna say definitely, I live In Port Angeles (born and raised) and I've heard a few stories from old loggers out in Joyce and I've seen and heard a few things that has me convinced. The woods can be a very strange place

My dad is a timber faller and has worked all over California since the mid 80s. He was raised in rural Montana, the eldest of 13, and very Christian. He doesn't believe in the paranormal or evolution, but he believes the Bigfoot exists. He has a few stories of encountering something in the woods, and he didn't believe it was Bigfoot until the Camp Sierra tapes (if I'm remembering correctly) came out and he heard the howling, or calls as my dad puts it. He said he had heard those same calls before, deep out in the mountains only a few times. He's spent a majority of the last 5 decades in the woods, and he's not a bullshitter. Makes me a bit more inclined to believe this stuff, but also I like the stories for what they are. Edit: My dad moved to California in the 80s but he would drive down from Montana with some of his brothers to fall trees during the winter, and one of those winters he heard the "calls" with my uncles. Then the camp Sierra Tapes came out and he said the sounds were exactly the same.

“He’s the anti-Jazzman of New Orleans” is perfect sentence.

a lore lodge upload is the only thing that gets me through the week

Another Port Angeles, Washington resident here🙋🏼‍♂️ All I know is that I grew up solo hiking the San Francisco Bay Area for 30 years. Up here I refuse to go out on trail alone. Even with proper gear and properly armed. Even my dog, a white and beige pit bull, acts like he knows he’s being watched. Up here it’s well understood that something’s out there.

This was a welcome addition of content to feed my bigfoot addiction when I've already binged all of Bob Gymlan's videos twice over

"mountain dew" actually refers to the condensate outside the apparatus that would commonly have pollen in it that was still collected and sold. It was smokey and lightly greenish.

Ya'll should be posting episode bibliographies. Not just to further legitimize your work, but to encourage peer research and review. Great work overall.

I hiked Mt st Helen's solo a few years ago with a 2am start and that trek through the forest to treeline was the scariest forest I've ever been in. Complete silence and complete blackness and trunks rising into the dark. I thought I ran into bigfoot after seeing eyes behind me from behind a tree, but it was just an elk😂

For part 2, please find some older Washington loggers, especially ones that cleaned up St Helens.

The Bob Gymlan RU-vid channel has a *GREAT* video on the Ape Canyon Incident.

Aidan bros, idk if you'll see this but if you do. I highly recommend 'Astonishing Legends' 6-part breakdown of the Patterson Gimlin film and all the misinformation surrounding it. It's extremely thorough

Jane Goodall believed the Patterson creature to be a real sasquatch. That's good enough for me.

I was a 10 year old, in my optometrist's office, when I saw an ARGOSY Magazine with Patterson's photo. My interest in cryptos started there, and remain. I lived and still live in Oregon. 1967 or '68.

Preemptive like added

I’m gonna need you to do a deep dive on the Munns Report. And point out that he’s the only one who was in the special effects industry at the time to weigh in. He shows frame by frame examples of muscle movement.

I was a little kid when I first saw this footage. It was a great show called In Search Of. Leonard Nemoy was the narrator, it was my first exposure to the unknown things in the world. It was a great show.

The bulging muscle on the thigh is interesting and has been talked about in countless documentary’s , not to mention most people agree if it was faked that Gimlin wasn’t in on it, which begs the question would you get in a monkey suit and walk in front of a guy that has a loaded high power rifle aimed at you ? Would anyone? Not knowing for sure that he wasn’t gonna pull the trigger . I’ve always thought that was something over looked by most

I LOVE this channel. The intros, the research, the Aidens, the thoroughness, the hilarity. I'm 38 seconds in and couldnt help but comment love and support. Thank you guys ❤

Liquor-induced fewer dreams? That is an outrage. Don't those canadian bootleggers know it's a felony to supply alcohol to miners?

Born and raised on Vancouver Island, BC. One night in Tofino, (west coast) at a cabin in the woods. I was on the porch. Something screamed/roared at me from behind the trees. It was so loud, like nothing I've ever heard before. Immediately got chills to the bone. Ran inside and locked the door. (I'm an outdoor person) never been scared of a noise from the woods in my life. I still get a chill talking about it. Don't know what it was, but my guess was sasquatch.

You CAN see the shoulder blades and hips move under the skin, especially in the early frames once they are stabilized. The hair on the ribs and thighs are worn away from the arms swinging, details like that are fascinating. "Patty" is BIG, the girth of it, the unique walk with it's slightly arched back with flexible knees, coned head, thick short neck, all need to be recognized. The William Roe Account of Bigfoot describes a slow retreat once startled.

I live in Humboldt, there's definitely something up here.

23:33 The reporter takes a good look at the footprint and writes down in his note pad “FOOTPRINT IS 3” DEEP three inches is quite admirable you know”

On the subject of the patterson film, i’m a bigfoot believer but i never looked into that film spasifically so i can’t say if i believe in it or not, HOWEVER it seems extremely odd to me that if it is a suit that they’d bother to put breasts on it. As in there isn’t a single gorilla suit out there with breasts, i doubt the ”motification” the guy did to his design if he did was to put breasts on it, and i doubt a single man would willingly wear it to begin with. Not to mention the extra cost of breasts for? What? That fact makes it plausable to me…

This is INSANELY comprehensive! I live in the Redding area, I was even on the front page of the "Record Searchlight" when I was a kid and I've always been fascinated by Bigfoot lore. I'm very scientifically minded so I write off a lot of Bigfoot info as hogwash but never have I heard such a comprehensive and well done deep dive into everything Bigfoot, you deserve kudos, big time.

Bad sponsor. Aura, for me at least, has been useless. Every single data broker required an additional field of verification to prove I'm who I say I am and want the data removed. The additional field is completely blank, and not even Customer Service is willing to tell me what is required. No information I could think of passes. So literally not a single data broker in possession of my data has removed it through Aura.

The Ape Canyon Incident is an amazing name to be sure, but my favorite named event is still "The Second Defenestration of Prague." It just tells a story, you know?

Im not going to lie, as someone from port angeles, every time he said Sequim as "see-quim" i died a little inside, for future parts aiden the town is pronounced S'quim, the e is silent

I like your longer episodes much more than the half hour ones simply because I feel like you get so far into the topic you need that long to properly and to my satisfaction, lol. No really you need that long to truly explain your findings. I really enjoy your content and your investigative skills.

Your the only channel that isnt making b roll bigfoot docs atm ... hiking through the woods talking to random ppl no the facts tild in sotry form i have been missing thia for the last 10 years it use to be easy to find this kind of content

The film has been analyzed by many many people. I still haven’t seen a suit that has been that convincing. An expert of old cameras did a test with the exact same camera that was used back then determined that the Patty creature was approximately 7 foot 4 inches tall. This was also backed up by another expert after comparing Patty to the species of trees in the area.

I've been missing the Lives because of my new work assignment, but I can still catch the videos. Good work, as always, Aiden & Aiden.

Just discovered your channel & subscribed. You had me at “Bigfoot” can’t wait to watch your other content. 😊❤

I suspect you have already found his works, but I am compelled to direct your attention to Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum, Professor of Anatomy & Anthropology at Idaho State University. From his ISU blurb, " He is author of Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science (Tom Doherty Publishers), which explores his and other scientists’ evaluations of the contemporary evidence, and also affords deference to tribal people’s traditional knowledge of this subject." Addendum: I wrote this before watching, because I'm an excitable idiot. :)

There’s a RU-vid video with an interview with MK Davis called “the bloody truth”. he was able to track down some original parts of the original Patterson film from Pattersons wife. In the video I just stated Davis shows an enlarged still of patty’s face that is so clear you can see all the features of the face, individual hairs all over even eye lashes and if you look close you can even make out the pupil of the eye. Check out that video, MK Davis has done so much work to find as much of the original footage as possible and has gotten the best quality and it really shows how it can’t be a suit and if it was I doubt they could make a costume that good even today.

I just discovered this guy. Darn he's freaking awesome! Keep it up.

I am so happy about an upload, I'm really sick rn and it makes me happy to have a new video to watch

y’all should consider citing your sources in some way. i’ve seen some video essayists flash their citations on the screen for a couple seconds, then leave a full bibliography in the description. maybe that would work here

I feel like I'm gonna have to thank this channel in my bachelor's thesis. It gets much easier to transcribe 14th century charters when you have a cool guy talking in your ear about bigfoot.

Just found your channel. Checking it out. Love your precious pup. You got me with his face. Enjoying it so far. Will watch many more. Subscribing and hitting that like button. Thanks for sharing.

Ah, my belief in it actually comes from listening to a bunch of calls to police where people on the line suddenly realize what they’re looking at isn’t human.

I heard a theory about why Patty was so calm and not running away. Some think it was trying to distract humans away from her offspring she haad hidden before the camera was rolling. But who knows, ive heard and read of most sightings that they are calm to begin with and have never really run away unless provoked. Who knows though.

Thank you for this fact filled program. The minutes flew by and the end music took me by surprise. If all the people who said they were in on the Patterson hoax really were, we could have a convection.

i am SUPER glad u guys are covering this topic! The fact that bigfoot mania only started in the 20th century when the native people would have a much better understanding of the lands and what was out there always bothered me. I know your gonna cover their stories and what they have seen and experience, and im all for it! Can't wait to see more from this series!

The little comedy gags you guys do are absolute gold

Kind of wild that Hank Hill and Bertrand Russell were knocking about the South West like that.

At 21:30 you say just because they weren't anthropologists you weren't going to trust their opinion. I can tell you I've known some people with maybe an 8th grade education that could tell you what animal made a specific track, how much that animal approximately weighed, at what pace the animal was moving, how long had it been since the animal made the track, and if said animal was wounded or not, along with some other bits of information I'm sure I' be left out. Someone doesn't need a piece of paper to weigh intelligence.

Absolutely dying over Mountain Devils, and especially Bigfussy, thanks Aidan 😂 You could do so many more episodes on PNW Bigfoot, and I very much hope you do. I live just outside of the Olympic National Forest. There are strange things out there. These woods are weird, man.

😂 best opening ever. Been watching your channel for over a year and love it. Finally trued your coffee and both me and my roommate agree it is the smoothest coffee ever. Love it!

hi I am a resident of Indiana about 30 minutes away from Indianapolis. This story is true and I will try my absolute hardest to answer any questions with specific details. This all happened between June 2022 and September 2022. I know the June part because I have a video of my drunk friend Kyle at the place where this happened promising to raid a Kona ice truck with me the next day, I do lean more towards September though because I remember it being kind of cold and one of the last times we were gonna be able to go out there that year. my friends Sy and Kyle were fishing at a parks river that was connected to Geist and invited me and my buddy Cody out to fish with them around 8:30pm. we both weren't too keen on fishing but we went just to chill because we all generally got along well. when we first arrived they came up and said hi to us and gave a brief explanation of how the nights been so far. the gist was "the fishing was shit but the times were good." they also causally mentioned in a joking manner that they heard movement around them and Kyle said something along the lines "don't worry Sam ill take it on with my bareeee handdssss" now its been 2 years but I'm like 99% sure he said some cocky remark along those lines. Kyles the type of guy to say some shit like that. we all brushed it off and thought it was funny and ended up hanging around the campfire for a while. now some notable things that happened between now and when I first saw it were. we did throw a dead battery from a light we had into the fire to see what would happen idk if battery's make you see crazy shit but yk we did it. I don't think it explains us all seeing the same thing even if it had some effect on us. 2 Sy drank a beer and so did Kyle but not me and Cody we both are sober people. 3 we didn't catch any fish which was kind of lame. at around 10pm we all were kind of ready to go home because of how dark it had gotten and how bad the fishing was. We were about to start packing. now this park has a small trail and at the end of it is a big open lake. I thought "hey before we leave for good we might as well walk to the lake and see it then walk back to the cars" everyone generally thought this was a good idea and we were gonna start walking once packed. they were about 80% done packing when I decided I'm gonna start ahead of them a little bit so I walked about 300 feet down the trail until I saw some huge white thing move from the right side of the path to the left side pretty far down the trail. this honestly scared the shit out of me but I had no flashlight and in all honesty I though to myself "hey that seemed creepy as fuck but it might have been a deer and I might just be fucking crazy" so I walked back to the group and since I was 2 years younger than sy and Kyle I didn't wanna mention it less I get called a pussy, which was pretty much a death sentence for my ego since at the time I was a sophomore. after they finished packing we all got ready to walk and got a little further down on the trail than I did on my own. and then with a flashlight shined down the trail we saw it. now this being 2 years ago I don't remember everything but here some stuff I do 100% know I saw. It walked on all fours. its joints didn't move when it walked, I had no fur only pale skin. it was thin and you could see its spine protruding from its back the same way you can see someone's ribs when they're mal nourished, and it had a short neck with an unidentifiable face, it probably stood about 5-6ft. it walked very fast from one side to the other and genuinely felt "evil" I just called Kyle explained this post and asked him to do his best to describe it to me, the only thing that differed in his decryption was it stood on two legs and was a little taller. after calling Kyle I called sy and had him do the same. He gave a much deeper description. it walked on four legs but came up once and stood on the back two "it was kind of like the front two legs were arms that it could also walk on." he said the creature was long. said the joints didn't move. he also said it had no feet kind of a nub which I 100% remember and agree with, Skin looked like it was stretched over its body to the point you could see bones. "like wearing a shirt that's way to small" after we saw it we all stood in baffled, frozen in fear. I asked "we all saw that right" and everyone said yes, Cody was behind us so he didn't see the full thing but 100% agrees he saw a flash of white and agrees it happened we immediately turned around and started back to the cars me and sy were behind looking at where we saw it, Kyle and Cody were looking forward leading us back to where we parked. once we got out of the wooded trail sy said he saw it for a second watching us leave stating "it must have gone into the woods about 30 feet and kept pace with us as we left." I remember getting into my car scared as fuck our immediate was that we must haver seen a skinwalker but I'm not so sure after all this time. we all 100% believe in what we saw and after bringing it up to Cody, Kyle, and Sy we know what happened happened. I live about 6-7 minutes away from where this happened and am honestly terrified that one day ill see it again. I'm posting this in a few subreddits looking for answers and thoughts on it and ill be here to answer any questions you have. thank you for reading my account of the story.

I have to ask if it's possible to correct the transcripts/captions of your videos. My wife is deaf and native American on her mom's side and I really want to share your videos with her but I can't because of the errors in both the captioning and the transcripts of your videos. I know she is likely not the only person who would benefit from accurate captioning/transcripts as even myself with an auditory processing disorder find myself not catching things or being unable to figure out terminology to search to further my own knowledge because searching things like the people that call themselves "O" would be the worst kind of hell and I can't hear what you are saying properly. As a fellow historian I absolutely love the commitment to historical accuracy and the fact you are willing to search for primary sources and also disclose when sources may not be completely solid. I just wish your work was more accessible. I know the captioning being changed a few years back has been it's own kind of hell but I don't know if the transcripts are at least able to be edited so I wanted to reach out and ask to see if that at least could be updated. I really appreciate your videos and hope to be able to share them freely without knowing that sections will be unaccessible to those that have to rely on captions and transcripts.

Love your channel. Thanks By the way there was a sighting by tenino WA a few days ago. Also it's pronounced squim, the E is silent.

Hey Aiden. People of my generation who were in speak very very highly of your uncle. You are doing good work here too. Keep it up!

Well for what it is worth I lived near where the bigfoot prints were seen in 1958. I was 8 years old. A friend of the family who was a logging truck driver told my father and me about these giant human tracks on the log landing. He said whatever it was had picked up a 55 gallon barrel of oil and carried it over to the edge of the landing and threw it off as you could see where it had gouged out a place in the side of the hill where it had hit. He said it was clearly not rolled off. He was perplexed as to what did it as was the rest of the crew. A 55 gallon barrel of oil weighs around 400 pounds.

I really don’t think Patty is a guy in a costume. Too much cake and too stacked in my humble opinny. I’ve seen some recent footage that digitally processed her face and you can actually see a small braid in her hair next to her face. 🤷‍♀️ I may be biased though because I’ve had some Bigfoot experiences myself.

I know this guy doesn't work alone, but I am highly impressed by him and the few episodes I have viewed so far. He's got a high level of intelligent open mindedness for lack of a better descriptive term, made more significant by the fact that he's only 26 and has obviously been delving into this sort of thing for years. I am extremely stingy with my subscribes these days, in a world when we're told to "like and subscribe" every 13 seconds. But this guy's just earned one.

the mountain dew moonshine connection goes deeper than that. The soft drink was invented as a mixer for the hard drink.

My team and I are planning to go Bigfoot hunting next year. I have some leads of recent reports and we are all hoping for the best. Even if we don't see anything wierd or suspicious, it's going to be a great time.

Anyone at that time who could build a monkey suit like that would have made millions in hollywood. Who would make a costume better than any movie made at that time and not cash in is beyond me .

You should throw links to all those other channels into your description. Ain't nobody got time to type stuff! Love your work. Keep doing it.

Washingtonian here, he does this on the reg.

Bigfoot claims he once saw Chuck Norris but nobody believes him.

"The mummies were about 80000 years old" And how did they determine that? Was there a "made in Atlantis in the year 78000 BC" sticker on them?

I appreciate your honesty and integrity

Hey guys, I LOVE the native folklore, I think it adds a lot to these stories

Trey the explainer made a video of native bigfoot. He researched ower a year. Would be great if you get him for the podcast and discuss!!!

Hey, Aidens. I know you guys always like to do the segments about native american lore where necessary and it's some i really appreciate but have you guys ever actually tried to get in touch with tribal representatives when discussing stuff like Bigfoot? I watched a really interesting video recently by Trey the Explainer, he mostly does historical content but also does religion and mythology stuff once in a while, and he recently explored the links that people keep trying to create between Bigfoot and native american myths and stories. The results were pretty interesting but equally interesting was the fact that he actually got in touch with a representative of the Tule River Indian Council, the place where the "Hairy Man" pictograms are. The person in question seemed overall pretty upset at how non natives are misusing their stories and the fact that non natives are pretending like a lot of these stories are anything more than cautionary tales for children and instead something natives actually believe. One of the examples used was the "basket woman", which Bigfoot "enthusiasts" constantly try to use as some sort of proof, which is clearly nothing more than the native version of Baba Yaga, a story they told their children to teach them to be weary of strangers. They were also pretty upset that people keep reproducing their tribal imagery for profit. Beyond that it might be really interesting to look into the things he talked about, he brought up a lot of inconsistencies and outright lies in books and articles that try to link Bigfoot to native stories and legends. Some stuff was really flagrant like an author completely misquoting the original story and then pretending they had gotten it from the native storyteller directly when the guy had been dead since 1909. Sorry if any of this is hard to follow, English is my third language.

The idea of being stalked by an unknown creature and then disappearing in the woods without trace is truly nightmare fuel. Especially at night with all the noises that suddenly fall silent.

I listened to a costume expert that worked for Lucas on starwars and said if thats a suit I want to see it because we can't even do that today..Chewbaccas costume idea was taken after bigfoot so why was his costume so bad it was baggy and showed no muscles like paddy

You are completely ignoring the work of Thinker Thunker especially his analysis of body ratios which proves that Patty has non-human proportions. Also,his analysis of Sasquatch sounds which prove they could not have been made by humans. Besides,there are enhanced fragments of the footage where bulging muscles are clearly visible under the skin.

Love the way the channels growing ❤️❤️

Thank you for the timestamp past the ad more RU-vidrs need to do that much love 🙏❤️

The reason why people compare the Patty "suit" to the 1968 planet of the apes is because they were from basically the same time period. You can't compare a suit from 2001 movie to the Patty film of 67, obviously in 2001 technology got much, much better and the suits were more realistic

Big problem with most 'prints', they come from a mind that can't unknow shoe deformed feet.

What an opening 😂 Excellent work

I love your content❤

Whenever I see the Patterson film I think oh that's a guy in a Bigfoot outfit. Walks and moves just like a Human. Just my opinion. 💯🆘🇺🇸

I love the way you cover any given topic, and I'm very excited to see where this series goes

I was waiting for a sasquatch episode. I have seen one so im very interested to hear your perspective and findings.

Looking forward to the rest of the series great job my guy

GOOD MORNING HISTORY TEACHER! LET'S GO. EARS ARE OPEN!!!!!

As someone who sees mnt st Helen’s everyday, there’s some strange things that happen in these woods. Also bjgfoot is a local icon here. A local Indian name for Bigfoot is Boqs btw!

Super excited for this series! I am actually in the post-production phase of bringing Roosevelt's "Goblin Story" to life in audio format. Looking forward to seeing what other wild man/big man lore I had never heard of so that I can sound like an even more insane conspiracy theorist.

ThinkerThunker's analysis of the Pattie film is worth a watch. He isolated frames where the front of the foot pivots upward, indicating a midtarsal break.

Bigfussy 💀

Maybe Bigfeet just want us to teach them how to make cabins. They're tired of sleeping in the bushes, damn it!

I’m from kelso 40 min from Toledo which was mentioned. I’ve heard from old loggers and stories past down from peoples grandpas of Bigfoot being pretty prominent anywhere from mt st Helen’s to Long Beach. Personally never seen or heard anything in my years hunting and camping across the state but I always hope I do. I’ve been interested in Bigfoot since I can remember it’s a big deal over here, keep up the content

The Patterson & Gimlin is still a classic by all right! The Ape Canyon incident is also wonderful video.

I live in the Sierra Nevada's and I have heard and seen things that I can't explain, and my dad talked about some of the stuff he encountered while hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in the 70's and honestly if there were a group of large primates in the woods up here I would not be surprised. I'd also say that the Patterson footage being fake because they were already making a Bigfoot film is a fallacy, wouldn't it make sense that the people looking for it and filming in the area it supposedly exists in would be the ones to film it? Other issues I can understand, but that one has always bothered me. Also as far as I know none of the people calling the footage a fake have successfully duplicated the footage using technology available at the time.

You just brushed over that. Spokesman Hank (E) Hill. This rabbit hole goes deep man.

After watching this, I've learned that being born in October should make me related to Bigfoot with all these October sightings

14:07 "gawd damnit Bobby, those are some odd footprints."

First time being this early. Feels the same
