Albert Ostman: 'I was kidnapped by a Sasquatch'

Albert Ostman talking about how he was kidnapped in 1924 by a family of Bigfoot on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

In 1924 Albert Ostman claimed that he was kidnapped by a family of sasquatch. Ostman took lie detector tests, was interrogated by a magistrate renowned for making criminals crack under questioning and Ostman NEVER cracked, never goofed up his story and never made a penny from his story. On the contrarym, he was ridiculed, but the man deserves his place in history, as does Roger Patterson and to a lesser degree.

ALBERT OSTMAN'S STORY

I have always followed logging and construction work. This time I had worked over one year on a construction job, and thought a good vacation was in order. B. C. is famous for lost gold mines.

One is supposed to be at the head of Toba Inlet — why not look for this mine and have a vacation at the same time? I took the Union Steamship boat to Lund, B.C. From there I hired an old Indian to take me to the head of Toba Inlet.

This old Indian was a very talkative old gentleman. He told me stories about gold brought out by a white man from this lost mine. This white man was a very heavy drinker — spent his money freely in saloons. But he had no trouble in getting more money. He would be away a few days, then come back with a bag of gold. But one time he went to his mine and never came back. Some people said a Sasquatch had killed him.

At that time I had never heard of Sasquatch. So I asked what kind of an animal he called a Sasquatch. The Indian said, "They have hair all over their bodies, but they are not animals. They are people. Big people living in the mountains. My uncle saw the tracks of one that were two feet long. One old Indian saw one over eight feet tall."

I told the Indian I didn't believe in their old fables about mountain giants. It might have been some thousands of years ago, but not nowadays.

The Indian said: "There may not be many, but they still exist."

We arrived at the head of the inlet about 4:00 p.m. I made camp at the mouth of a creek ...The Indian had supper with me, and I told him to look out for me in about three weeks. I would be camping at the same spot when I came back ...

Next morning I took my rifle with me, but left my equipment at the camp. I decided to look around for some deer trail to lead me up into the mountains. On the way up the inlet I had seen a pass in the mountain that I wanted to go through, to see what was on the other side.

I spent most of the forenoon looking for a trail but found none, except for a hogback running down to the beach. So I swamped out a trail from there, got back to my camp about 3:00 p.m. that afternoon, and made up my pack to be ready in the morning. My equipment consisted of one 30- 30 Winchester rifle, I had a special home-made prospecting pick, axe on one end, pick on the other. I had a leather case for this pick which fastened to my belt, also my sheath knife.

The storekeeper at Lund was co-operative. He gave me some cans for my sugar, salt and matches to keep them dry. My grub consisted mostly of canned stuff, except for a side of bacon, a bag of beans, four pounds of prunes and six packets of macaroni, cheese, three pounds of pancake flour and six packets of Rye King hard tack, three rolls of snuff, one quart sealer of butter and two one-pound cans of milk. I had two boxes of shells for my rifle.

The storekeeper gave me a biscuit tin. I put a few things in that and cached it under a windfall, so I would have it when I came back here waiting for a boat to bring me out. My sleeping bag I rolled up and tied on top of my pack sack, together with my ground sheet, small frying pan, and one aluminum pot that held about a gallon. As my canned food was used, I would get plenty of empty cans to cook with.

The following morning I had an early breakfast, made up my pack, and started out up this hogback. My pack must have been at least eighty pounds, besides my rifle. After one hour, I had to rest. I kept resting and climbing all that morning. About 2:00 p.m. I came to a flat place below a rock bluff. There was a bunch of willow in one place. I made a wooden spade and started digging for water. About a foot down I got seepings of water, so I decided to camp here for the night, and scout around for the best way to get on from here.

I must have been up to near a thousand feet. There was a most beautiful view over the islands and the Strait — tugboats with log booms, and fishing boats going in all directions. A lovely spot. I spent the following day prospecting round. But no sign of minerals. I found a deer trail leading towards this pass that I had seen on my way up the inlet. The following morning I started out early, while it was cool. It was steep climbing with my heavy pack. After a three hours climb, I was tired and stopped to rest. On the other side of a ravine from where I was resting was a yellow spot below some small trees. I moved over there and started digging for water.

I found a small spring and made a small trough from cedar bark and got a small amount of water, had my lunch and rested here 'till evening ... I made it over the pass late that night.

Now I had downhill and good going, but I was hungry and tired, so I camped at the first bunch of trees I came to ... I was trying to size up the terrain — what direction I would take from here. Towards west would lead to low land and some other inlet, so I decided to go in a northeast direction ... had good going and slight down hill all day. I must have made 10 miles when I came to a small spring and a big black hemlock tree.

This was a lovely campsite, I spent two days here just resting and prospecting. The first night here I shot a small deer...

(Two days later) ... I found an exceptionally good campsite. It was two good-sized cypress trees growing close together and near a rock wall with a nice spring just below these trees. I intended to make this my permanent camp. I cut lots of brush for my bed between these trees. I rigged up a pole from this rock wall to hang my packsack on, and I arranged some flat rocks for my fireplace for cooking. I had a really classy setup... And that is when things began to happen.

I am a heavy sleeper, not much disturbs me after I go to sleep, especially on a good bed like I had now.

Next morning I noticed things had been disturbed during the night. But nothing missing I could see. I roasted my grouse on a stick for breakfast...

That night I filled up the magazine of my rifle. I still had one full box of 20 shells and six shells in my coat pocket. That night I laid my rifle under the edge of my sleeping bag. I thought a porcupine had visited me the night before and porkies like leather, so I put my shoes in the bottom of my sleeping bag.

Next morning my pack sack had been emptied out. Some one had turned the sack upside down. It was still hanging on the pole from the shoulder straps as i had hung it up. Then I noticed one half-pound package of prunes was missing. Also my pancake flour was missing, but my salt bag was not touched. Porkies always look for salt, so I decided it must be something else than porkies. I looked for tracks but found none. I did not think it was a bear, they always tear up and make a mess of things. I kept close to camp these days in case this visitor would come back.

I climbed up on a big rock where I had a good view of the camp, but nothing showed up. I was hoping it would be a porky, so I would get a good porky stew. These visits had now been going on for three nights...

This night it was cloudy and looked like it might rain. I took special notice of how everything was arranged. I closed my pack sack, I did not undress, I only took off my shoes, put them in the bottom of my sleeping bag. I drove my prospecting pick into one of the cypress trees so I could reach it from my bed. I also put the rifle alongside me, inside my sleeping bag. I fully intended to stay awake all night to find out who my visitor was, but I must have fallen asleep.

I was awakened by something picking me up. I was half asleep and at first I did not remember where I was. As I began to get my wits together, I remembered I was on this prospecting trip, and in my sleeping bag.

My first thought was — it must be a snow slide, but there was no snow around my camp. Then it felt like I was tossed on horseback, but I could feel whoever it was, was walking.

I tried to reason out what kind of animal this could be. I tried to get at my sheath knife, and cut my way out, but I was in an almost sitting position, and the knife was under me. I could not get hold of it, but the rifle was in front of me, I had a good hold of that, and had no intention to let go of it. At times I could feel my packsack touching me, and could feel the cans in the sack touching my back.

After what seemed like an hour, I could feel we were going up a steep hill. I could feel myself rise for every step. What was carrying me was breathing hard and sometimes gave a slight cough. Now, I knew this must be one of the mountain Sasquatch giants the Indian told me about.

I was in a very uncomfortable position — unable to move. I was sitting on my feet, and one of the boots in the bottom of the bag was crossways with the hobnail sole up across my foot. It hurt me terribly, but I could not move.

It was very hot inside. It was lucky for me this fellow's hand was not big enough to close up the whole bag when he picked me up — there was a small opening at the top, otherwise I would have choked to death.

Now he was going downhill. I could feel myself touching the ground at times and at one time he dragged me behind him and I could feel he was below me. Then he seemed to get on level ground and was going at a trot for a long time. By this time, I had cramps in my legs, the pain was terrible. I was wishing he would get to his destination soon. I could not stand this type of transportation much longer.

Now he was going uphill again. It did not hurt me so bad. I tried to estimate distance and directions. As near as I could guess we were about three hours travelling. I had no idea when he started as I was asleep when he picked me up.

Finally he stopped and let me down. Then he dropped my packsack, I could hear the cans rattle. Then I heard chatter — some kind of talk I did not understand. The ground was sloping so when he let go of my sleeping bag, I rolled downhill. I got my head out, and got some air. I tried to straighten my legs and crawl out, but my legs were numb.

It was still dark, I could not see what my captors looked like. I tried to massage my legs to get some life in them, and get my shoes on. I could hear now it was at least four of them, they were standing around me, and continuously chattering. I had never heard of Sasquatch before the Indian told me about them. But I knew I was right among them.

But how to get away from them, that was another question? I got to see the outline of them now, as it began to get lighter, though the sky was cloudy, and it looked like rain, in fact there was a slight sprinkle.

I now had circulation in my legs, but my left foot was very sore on top where it had been resting on my hobnail boots. I got my boots out from the sleeping bag and tried to stand up. I found that I was wobbly on my feet, but I had a good hold of my rifle.

I asked, "What you fellows want with me?" Only some more chatter.

It was getting lighter now, and I could see them quite clearly. I could make out forms of four people. Two big and two little ones. They were all covered with hair and no clothes on at all.

I could now make out mountains all around me. I looked at my watch. It was 4:25 a.m. It was getting lighter now and I could see the people clearly.

They look like a family, old man, old lady and two young ones, a boy and a girl. The boy and the girl seem to be scared of me. The old lady did not seem too pleased about what the old man dragged home. But the old man was waving his arms and telling them all what he had in mind. They all left me then.

I had my compass and my prospecting glass on strings around my neck. The compass in my lefthand shirt pocket and my glass in my right hand pocket. 1 tried to reason our location, and where I was. I could see now that I was in a small valley or basin about eight or ten acres, surrounded by high mountains, on the southeast side there was a V-shaped opening about eight feet wide at the bottom and about twenty feet high at the highest point — that must be the way I came in. But how will I get out? The old man was now sitting near this opening.

I moved my belongings up close to the west wall. There were two small cypress trees there, and this will do for a shelter for the time being. Until I find out what these people want with me, and how to get away from here. I emptied out my packsack to see what I had left in the line of food. All my canned meat and vegetables were intact and I had one can of coffee. Also three small cans of milk — two packages of Rye King hard tack and my butter sealer half full of butter. But my prunes and macaroni were missing. Also my full box of shells for my rifle. I had my sheath knife but my prospecting pick was missing and my can of matches. I only had my safety box full and that held only about a dozen matches. That did not worry me — I can always start a fire with my prospecting glass when the sun is shining, if I got dry wood. I wanted hot coffee, but I had no wood, also nothing around here that looked like wood. I had a good look over the valley from where I was — but the boy and girl were always watching me from behind some juniper bush. I decided there must be some water around here. The ground was leaning towards the opening in the wall. There must be water at the upper end of this valley, there is green grass and moss along the bottom.

All my utensils were left behind. I opened my coffee tin and emptied the coffee in a dishtowel and tied it with the metal strip from the can. I took my rifle and the can and went looking for water. Right at the head under a cliff there was a lovely spring that disappeared underground. I got a drink, and a full can of water. When I got back the young boy was looking over my belongings, but did not touch anything. On my way back I noticed where these people were sleeping. On the east side wall of this valley was a shelf in the mountain side, with overhanging rock, looking something like a big undercut in a big tree about 10 feet deep and 30 feet wide. The floor was covered with lots of dry moss, and they had some kind of blankets woven of narrow strips of cedar bark, packed with dry moss. They looked very practical and warm — with no need of washing.

The first day not much happened. I had to eat my food cold. The young fellow was coming nearer me, and seemed curious about me. My one snuff box was empty, so I relied it toward him. When he saw it coming, he sprang up quick as a cat, and grabbed it. He went over to his sister and showed her. They found out how to open and close it — they spent a long time playing with it — then he trotted over to the old man and showed him. They had a long chatter.

Next morning, I made up my mind to leave this place — if I had to shoot my way out. I could not stay much longer, I had only enough grub to last me till I got back to Toba Inlet. I did not know the direction but I would go down hill and I would come out near civilization some place. I rolled up my sleeping bag, put that inside my pack sack — packed the few cans I had — swung the sack on my back, injected the shell in the barrel of my rifle and started for the opening in the wall. The old man got up, held up his hands as though he would push me back.

I pointed to the opening. I wanted to go out. But he stood there pushing towards me — and said something that sounded like "Soka, soka." I backed up to about sixty feet. I did not want to be too close, I thought, if I had to shoot my way out. A 30-30 might not have much effect on this fellow, it might make him mad. I only had six shells so I decided to wait. There must be a better way than killing him, in order to get out from here. I went back to my campsite to figure out some other way to get out.

I could make friends with the young fellow or the girl, they might help me. If I only could talk to them. Then I thought of a fellow who saved himself from a mad bull by blinding him with snuff in his eyes. But how will I get near enough to this fellow to put snuff in his eyes? So I decided next time I give the young fellow my snuff box to leave a few grains of snuff in it. He might give the old man a taste of it.

But the question is, in what direction will I go, if I should get out? I must have been near 25 miles northeast of Toba Inlet when I was kidnapped. This fellow must have travelled at least 25 miles in the three hours he carried me. If he went west we would be near salt water — same thing if he went south — therefore he must have gone northeast. If I then keep going south and over two mountains, I must hit salt water someplace between Lund and Vancouver.

The following day I did not see the old lady till about 4:00 p.m. She came home with her arms full of grass and twigs and of all kinds of spruce and hemlock as well as some kind of nuts that grow in the ground. I have seen lots of them on Vancouver Island. The young fellow went up the mountain to the east every day, he could climb better than a mountain goat. He picked some kind of grass with long sweet roots. He gave me some one day — they tasted very sweet. I gave him another snuff box with about a teaspoon of snuff in it. He tasted it, then went to the old man — he licked it with his tongue. They had a long chat. I made a dipper from a milk can. I made many dippers — you can use them for pots too — you cut two slits near the top of any can — then cut a limb from any small tree — cut down back of the limb down the stem of the tree — then taper the part you cut from the stem. Then cut a hole in the tapered part, slide the tapered part in the slit you have made in the can, and you have a good handle on your can. I threw one over to the young fellow, that was playing near my camp, he picked it up and looked at it then he went to the old man and showed it to him. They had a long chatter. Then he came to me, pointed at the dipper then at his sister. I could see that he wanted one for her too. I had other peas and carrots, so I made one for his sister. He was standing only eight feet away from me. When I had made the dipper, I dipped it in water and drank from it, he was very pleased, almost smiled at me. Then I took a chew of snuff, smacked my lips, said that's good.

The young fellow pointed to the old man, said something that sounded like "Ook." I got the idea that the old man liked snuff, and the young fellow wanted a box for the old man. I shook my head. I motioned with my hands for the old man to come to me. I do not think the young fellow understood what I meant. He went to his sister and gave her the dipper I made for her. They did not come near me again that day. I had now been here six days, but I was sure I was making progress. If only I could get the old man to come over to me, get him to eat a full box of snuff that would kill him for sure, and that way kill himself, I wouldn't be guilty of murder.

The old lady was a meek old thing. The young fellow was by this time quite friendly. The girl would not hurt anybody. Her chest was flat like a boy's — no development like young ladies. I am sure if I could get the old man out of the way I could easily have brought this girl out with me to civilization. But what good would that have been? I would have to keep her in a cage for public display. I don't think we have any right to force our way of life on other people, and I don't think they would like it. (The noise and racket in a modern city they would not like any more than I do.)

The young fellow might have been between 11-18 years old and about seven feet tall and might weight about 300 lbs. His chest would be 50-55 inches, his waist about 36-38 inches. He had wide jaws, narrow forehead, that slanted upward round at the back about four or five inches higher than the forehead. The hair on their heads was about six inches long. The hair on the rest of their body was short and thick in places. The women's hair on the forehead had an upward turn like some women have — they call it bangs, among women's hair-do's. Nowadays the old lady could have been anything between 40-70 years old. She was over seven feet tall. She would be about 500-600 pounds.

She had very wide hips, and a goose-like walk. She was not built for beauty or speed. Some of those lovable brassieres and uplifts would have been a great improvement on her looks and her figure. The man's eyeteeth were longer than the rest of the teeth, but not long enough to be called tusks. The old man must have been near eight feet tall. Big barrel chest and big hump on his back — powerful shoulders, his biceps on upper arm were enormous and tapered down to his elbows. His forearms were longer than common people have, but well proportioned. His hands were wide, the palm was long and broad, and hollow like a scoop. His fingers were short in proportion to the rest of his hand. His fingernails were like chisels. The only place they had no hair was inside their hands and the soles of their feet and upper part of the nose and eyelids. I never did see their ears, they were covered with hair hanging over them.

If the old man were to wear a collar it would have to be at least 30 inches. I have no idea what size shoes they would need. I was watching the young fellow's foot one day when he was sitting down. The soles of his feet seemed to be padded like a dog's foot, and the big toe was longer than the rest and very strong. In mountain climbing all he needed was footing for his big toe. They were very agile. To sit down they turned their knees out and came straight down. To rise they came straight up without help of hands or arms. I don't think this valley was their permanent home. I think they move from place to place, as food is available in different localities. They might eat meat, but I never saw them eat meat, or do any cooking.

I think this was probably a stopover place and the plants with sweet roots on the mountain side might have been in season this time of the year. They seem to be most interested in them. The roots have a very sweet and satisfying taste. They always seem to do everything for a reason, wasted no time on anything they did not need. When they were not looking for food, the old man and the old lady were resting, but the boy and the girl were always climbing something or some other exercise. A favorite position was to take hold of his feet with his hands and balance on his rump, then bounce forward. The idea seems to be to see how far he could go without his feet or hands touching the ground. Sometimes he made 20 feet.

But what do they want with me? They must understand I cannot stay here indefinitely. I will soon have to make a break for freedom. Not that I was mistreated in any way. One consolation was that the old man was coming closer each day, and was very interested in my snuff. Watching me when I take a pinch of snuff. He seems to think it useless to only put it inside my lips. One morning after I had my breakfast both the old man and the boy came and sat down only ten feet away from me. This morning I made coffee. I had saved up all dry branches I found and I had some dry moss and I used all the labels from cans to start a fire.

I got my coffee pot boiling and it was strong coffee too, and the aroma from boiling coffee was what brought them over. I was sitting eating hard tack with plenty of butter on, and sipping coffee. And it sure tasted good. I was smacking my lips pretending it was better than it really was. I set the can down that was about half full. I intended to warm it up later. I pulled out a full box of snuff, took a big chew. Before I had time to close the box the old man reached for it. I was afraid he would waste it, and only had two more boxes. So I held on to the box intending him to take a pinch like I had just done. Instead he grabbed the box and emptied it in his mouth. Swallowed it in one gulp. Then he licked the box inside with his tongue.

After a few minutes his eyes began to roll over in his head, he was looking straight up. I could see he was sick. Then he grabbed my coffee can that was quite cold by this time, he emptied that in his mouth, grounds and all. That did no good. He stuck his head between his legs and rolled forwards a few times away from me. Then he began to squeal like a stuck pig. I grabbed my rifle. I said to myself, "This is it. If he comes for me I will shoot him plumb between his eyes." But he started for the spring, he wanted water. I packed my sleeping bag in my pack sack with the few cans I had left. The young fellow ran over to his mother. Then she began to squeal. I started for the opening in the wall — and I just made it. The old lady was right behind me. I fired one shot at the rock over her head.

I guess she had never seen a rifle fired before. She turned and ran inside the wall. I injected another shell in the barrel of my rifle and started downhill, looking back over my shoulder every so often to see if they were coming. I was in a canyon, and good travelling and I made fast time. Must have made three miles in some world record time. I came to a turn in the canyon and I had the sun on my left, that meant I was going south, and the canyon turned west. I decided to climb the ridge ahead of me. I knew that I must have two mountain ridges between me and salt water and by climbing this ridge I would have a good view of this canyon, so I could see if the Sasquatch were coming after me. I had a light pack and was making good time up this hill. I stopped soon after to look back to where I came from, but nobody followed me. As I came over the ridge I could see Mt. Baker, then I knew I was going in the right direction.

I was hungry and tired. I opened my packsack to see what I had to eat. I decided to rest here for a while. I had a good view of the mountain side, and if the old man was coming I had the advantage because I was up above him. To get me he would have to come up a steep hill. And that might not be so easy after stopping a few 30-30 bullets. I had made up my mind this was my last chance, and this would be a fight to the finish ... I rested here for two hours. It was 3:00 p.m. when I started down the mountain side. It was nice going, not too steep and not too much underbrush.

When I got near the bottom, I shot a big blue grouse. She was sitting on a windfall, looking right at me, only a hundred feet away. I shot her neck right off.

I made it down the creek at the bottom of this canyon. I felt I was safe now. I made a fire between two big boulders, roasted the grouse. Next morning when I woke up, I was feeling terrible. My feet were sore from dirty socks. My legs were sore, my stomach was upset from that grouse that I ate the night before. I was not too sure I was going to make it up that mountain. I finally made the top, but it took me six hours to get there. It was cloudy, visibility about a mile.

I knew I had to go down hill. After about two hours I got down to the heavy timber and sat down to rest. I could hear a motor running hard at times, then stop. I listened to this for a while and decided the sound was from a gas donkey. Someone was logging in the neighborhood.

I told them I was a prospector and was lost ... I did not like to tell them I had been kidnapped by a Sasquatch, as if I had told them, they would probably have said, he is crazy too.

The following day I went down from this camp on Salmon Arm Branch of Sechelt Inlet. From there I got the Union Boat back to Vancouver. That was my last prospecting trip, and my only experience with what is known as Sasquatches. I know that in 1924 there were four Sasquatches living, it might be only two now. The old man and the old lady might be dead by this time.

  2. Wonder if you can contact the members of the BFRO from the Animal Planet to investigate this location. They live for stories like that!

    1. The whole reason I looked up this story was because while watching a marathon on animal planet,they briefly mentioned it. I don't know if it was this particular story because a few came up thru Google but it would be cool for BFRO to investigate.

  3. This is my favorite bigfoot story ever and the most believable. Albert is a great story teller. The part about the boy bigfoot scooting on his butt trying not to touch his hands to the ground doesn't seem like something Albert just made up, its to off the wall but something a youngster might do.

  4. I believe it wholeheartedly as bizarre as it sounds and never tire of reading it. Who could possibly kill one now? And on that note-can you imagine what will happen if by some circumstance you manage to drag a dead one out of the woods- You think the government will like you any more? You will be in deep deep doo doo!

  5. Wonderful story. Very believable with all the detail. It does not sound like he made it up.

    It would make a great movie!

  6. The kidnapping did not take place on Vancouver Island, it took place on the mainland near Toba Inlet, BC. Albert Ostman was telling the truth 110%, he was interviewed and interrogated by A.M. Naismith, a police magistrate, who thought he was telling the truth. Before his death, Ostman signed and affidavit declaring that this encouner was genuine.

  7. Very interesting. Its amazing to see that they comunicate with one another in there own languge. Also hte family structure seems very similar to human family structure with the youngster looking for explanations and approval from his father. Great story . I hope researchers discover this ancient being and shed some light on what they are. Most likely to protect them it is best that they remain undiscovered

  8. Way to descriptive to have been made up.I believe he was telling the truth.

  9. I absolutely agree that this account is way too realistic to have been made up. Everything just adds up to perfectly. I've read many tales of bigfoot encounters over the years and this is definitely one of the most believable if not the most believable. Its absolutely fascinating to hear of their family dynamics and the part about them having some sort of language confirms something I've always wondered about. I'm extremely envious of Mr. Ostman, and while I wouldn't be too pleased about being kidnapped and being held captive by these magnificent beings, I think it would be awe inspiring to have a chance to observe them as he did. I wonder though, why did the "old man" kidnap him and keep him there among them?

  10. I think this guy looks like Grandpa Jones from the old "Hee-Haw" t.v country music show. The bigfeets probably thought that they would catch themselves a famous banjo picker to entertain them around the camp during the evenings. Maybe even get ol' Grandpa to hook up with sissy sasquatch in order to make some baby banjo pickers to entertain em all around the camp for years to come.

  11. Juvenile mountain gorillas play all the time. They roll around, do somersaults, jump off things, play with their feet and generally explore the limitations of their bodies. The account of the juvenile bigfoot doing butt-scooting is humorous and familiar. I have heard many accounts of bigfoot chatter. I wonder if they have an organized language or if it's specific to each family group? There could be hundreds of unique sasquatch languages out there, each on specific to each family.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I agree with the Banjo hypothesis. Many bigfoot researchers agree that the Sasquatch enjoy music.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Banjosquatch is a close relative to the hillbilly. I know because I am a hillbilly and many of my cousins look just like the elusive banjosquatch.

    Rarely seen, highly elusive and scary lookin.

    Will come in to the sound of a party out of curiousity sake.

  14. Someday Albert Ostman's account will be completely validated and I hope I live to see it.

    There are so many smarmy know-it-alls who believe that the sum total of all human knowledge is within their limited databases, and I want to be the first to say, "If you were wrong about Sasquatch then maybe you'll shut your pie holes and quit insisting that you have all the answers about every other mystery."

  15. Hi to everyone!
    I´ve spent around 25 years of my life in Vancouver, BC and I used to go frequently on 4x4 and hiking trips to many remote places.
    On one weekend in September of 1988 I and my friend who still lives in Vancouver, we decided to spend 2-3 days hiking in the Cascade Mountains near Hope, BC.
    We picked up a logging road up Silver Creek near Hope and drove to the passable end if it just at the border with USA, marauded for a few hours around and then, in late afternoon drove back several miles and set up a camp.
    On the next day after lunch we decided to hike up the ridge on the east side of the Silver Creek logging road. After a few hours of hiking eventually we got up to a very nice view point above tree line and stayed there for some time enjoying the views and pleasant, cloudless weather. The panorama of the mountains was so spectacular that I did not want to go back to the camp down in the valley trying to procrastinate as much as possible.
    Finally my friend said to me: let´s not be silly! We don´t have flashlights!
    That argument convinced me and be started descending. About a half an hour later we entered dry forest made up mostly of not too tall log pine trees.
    My friend shouted at one point: shit, it’s getting dark! Let´s run! So we did!
    He outran me of about 150 yards and at one point I decided to make a shortcut through a little bit denser vegetation.
    I went into it and…suddenly I saw a pile of fresh excrements, still slightly steaming.
    It was rather watery, yellowish-brown in color and the size of it… about 2 feet in diameter.
    My first sought then was: shit! A grizzly bear is around! After stopping for 3 or 4 second I started feeling being watched by someone so I continued running again down the slope as fast as I could!
    At the camp I told my friend about an unusually large grizzly bear shit I saw on the way down.
    His only comment was: it is strange, because bear excrements particularly at this time of the year are almost black and of different in shape…
    Several years later I stopped at the remote Native Reserve at Skookumchuck in the Harrison Lake area and had a conversation with an old Native about the grizzlies and then the Sasquatch. When I told him the story about my encounter in the Cascade Mountains he simply said: It was definitely a Sasquatch! Only once in my life I´ve seen 2 of them also around Hope, but I´ve almost never mentioned about that encounter to other people.
    Have to mention, that living nowadays in Peru and travelling throughout the Amazon I come across stories of an enormous snake like creature over 200 feet long and weighing over 10000 lbs.
    The Native tribes in the jungle call it Yakumama, although officially in Peru it is considered to be just a fantasy…
    Greetings.

  16. The recent DNA test results from Ketchum will conclusively show Ostman's DNA in the sequencing. Ol' Ostman received his freedom from the Bigfeet clan by providing some of his Jack Links for the female yeti on sight at their remote loveshack. Daddy squatch dipped snuff and eagerly watched the entire consumation of the two. Thus the new breed known as Banjosquatch.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I think his story's true, and agree he'll be vindicated eventually. Just like Roger Patterson, Paul Freeman, etc. The beings are a near-human species, and hopefully the coming DNA study results will prove this.

  18. great story, is it true, maybe.

  19. BTW, the plural of 2 or more Bigfoot, is still "Bigfoots" and NOT bigfeet,(s).

  20. wish that oatman brought back some hair or something to prove it

    1. Ol' Ostman let evidence by implanting his seed into the young female bigfoot. Just wait, Ketchum's report will show Ostman's bloodline lives on in the Banjosquatch!!!!

  21. It is such a cool story and why not, the species must be some unknown type of other human. I don't see what else they could be.

    What's interesting about it today, is that it lends support to the Patterson film all those years later as well as a witness video known as Marble Mountain. The padded soles of these beings, now affectively named Ostman Pads, are seen on the Patterson subject.

    Ostman gave some very detailed up close descriptions, staying on the woman, it would appear she resembled the Patterson subject with a gooselike waddle and pendulous breasts.
    He estimated her height about 7 feet tall, that's the calculated height of the Patterson being. Ostman's description of the man, the father of the family, was about 8 feet tall and barrelchested whose back had a hump.
    You'll recognize the same in that Marble video. Putting all this evidence together is quite an eye opener.

  22. There is soo much detail in this story that it would be crazy for someone to think of adding such detail to a story that wasn't real, i believe his story, i don't see a reason for Ostman to lie about his encounter, i have read multiple documented encounters and with this story i can relate and put the puzzle together that he mentioned detail of the female bigfoot which reminded me of the patty female bigfoot, the male Bigfoot's Detail brought many documented encounters posted on the BFRO site such as the hair distribution, developed shoulders, no visible ears, people see this things, this is not a made up story, thousands of encounters & sightings, from different states and countries, IT HAS TO BE REAL!

  23. 'so much deil','it has to be true'. yet in the proceding decades there is not shred od evidence. when they drag peopleof in sleeping bags! lol, utter m=nonsense. we all wnt to believe but not at the expence of sanity. if we follow this line of thinking thloch ness monster exists. ive heard ministers give very detailed account about a dinosaur coming out the wated. facial features, hair roar etc.. even policemn too, so nessie exists too then!

    the guy is a crank. he sat on this story for decades until patty film came out and thought ill cash in the a fanciful story that could be made up in a night.

    why do people believe this when there is not 1 decent photo, dna,body blah blah thres nothing there sadly. i watch from afar in hope im wrong as we would all love a 8ft 600pd reature to walk from myth to reality. BF the only animal with the ability to counteract focus on cameras. bobct.lions, moose etc...are all caught on crystal clear video by people on camera s phones. when it comes to BF we get blob and fuzzy jumpy

  26. The Ostman story definitely true in my book as we have heard chatter,whoops,tree knocking,had things taken from our camp,etc.,etc.,etc.over a ten year period. The list too long to list here and now have the best trail cam photo out there I believe since the Patterson-Gimlin footage, but have not sent it in to anyone yet. This pic is just like you get of a deer or any other wild animal with your trail cam. with just slight blur as creature was easing along. Hoping to get more pics but not likely. These creatures what ever they are have to be highly intelligent as the only way we got this pic was staying out the river bottoms for a month and half after deer season leaving camera hoping batteries would hold up.

    1. ye great story but id imagine it was just that, A STORY sadly\! im guessing the purpose of the abduction was to learn something of mankind! why did he take 200 years to snatch one and hasnt done it since. well not a credible one anyway{presaumably if one BF had this desire hundreds would follow]. hmm!!!?

  28. People do go missing in wilderness areas & who knows where they all end up? I believe if there are others who've had an experience similar to this, they would likely keep it to themselves & not go public for fear of personal ridicule. Not wanting to draw attention to these creatures if they were peaceful might also be considered by many, as it would possibly endanger them & their way of life. Maybe this Bigfoot was a bit of a maverick daredevil in kidnapping a Human. Most apparently avoid Humans or appear highly cautious, although they do seem very inquisitive coming into camps & throwing stones, etc. So perhaps curiosity got the better of this one?

    They are definitely real creatures as far as I'm concerned. The experts who analysed the Patterson footage agreed it was 100% the real deal, presenting highly convincing arguments & evidence. This applies to the area of track experts too, & how difficult it is to fake a footprint with the correct indentations of natural feet & gait movements. I'm in Australia & we have numerous sighting accounts from all over the country as well. The Aboriginies know them as the Yowie.

  34. I was taken to meet Ostman by John Green when I was up there for the showing of the P/G film to scientists. I asked him what their fingernails looked like. He said they were sort of a metallic bronze color. I heard later from someone else that some tribe's name for these creatures translates as "those with the bronze fingernails." I don't think I was ever told what tribe or what native word.

  37. On a legal basis, big foot exists. On a Biblical basis big foot exists. In a court of law one or two witnesses will do, the Bible says in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall all things be established. Now there are a lot of liars and hoaxes out there for sure but there but you can feel when a story is real not just by the unique details the situation or when there are more than one witness and they have no reason to make up a story. When your concience tells you it is the real deal, trust your intuition. The fossil record supports finding huge skeletons. Do some research, it is all available. Look up giant skeletons.

  51. u got to love all these old[very old] bf/bs stories. why do these things happen decades ago. same as p/g film, that's held up as the best evidence [snigger] of a ape man in north America. yet in the digital age we get squat but shaky grainy nothing films or outright hoaxes.
    the most ardent believer has to ask themselves why is there no HD film of one yet. rolling out the p/g film or this is cringworthy, imo [although I know m a troll/loser/prick etc....]
    where is the film in quality camera surely the same film of an ambling creature with side/back view is more than co incidence. if ths lemur/human/ape/hybrid is real why is there nothing but a 45 yer old film taken by 2 chancers. not to mention the obvious facts. there were 3 people of tht expedidtion. they filmed p n g so cleary there was a 3rd person.thats never been answered. why did he draw a female squatch a year before hen film the eat creature. I've heard people say he was drawing ostmans description. ridicules. why would such an elusive creature walkout in the only open ground for miles around in daylight when it could walk into the woods to its left at any time. dumb hoax

    I guess people need these type of mysterious in their lives, nessie, chubracabra etc etc..all without any scientific proof or decent evidence. eyewitness account cannot be counted .if it ws the world is full of lizard people/aliens/crypto's of every description etc etc.

    I don't get the rabid belief some of u have. when I ask for links to the evidence im called all kinds of things ,ever so bravely from your PC's or pointed to p/g film. it would be interesting to see the people who actually post on here. I can imagine that quite easily

    imagine there are thousands of 10ft 700pd ape men n their families living undetected for ever in North America is a stretch for me. crazy

  68. So is it safe to say Bigfoot doesn't like the smell or taste of cigarettes? Have to wonder how many smokers vs non-smokers go missing, or get attacked? And while I'm on the subject of 'this vs that' any statistics on Bible believers vs non-Bible believers end up missing or attacked by Bigfoot, or the like? (Dogman). Just something to wonder about I guess.
