Bigfoot Attack at Ape Canyon

Ape Canyon, Mt. St Helens

Greg Moorhead, a bigfoot researcher from Texas, posted these amazing photos surrounding the story of "Ape Canyon" and a man named Fred Beck. Check them out:

"In 1924, Fred Beck and three other miners say they were attacked by “apemen” at their mine claim on Mt. St. Helens. The creatures pelted the miners’ cabin with rocks, climbed on the roof, and tried to break through the door. The attack lasted all night. Previously, the men had seen unusual large footprints in the area, and Beck, with another man, had shot at an odd creatures they saw at about 100 yards, and then at 200 yards, taking a total of six shots. It appears the attack on the miners was likely in revenge...possibly one of the shots had found its mark. When the men emerged from the cabin in the morning, Beck saw one of the creatures at about 80 yards away near the edge of what is now Ape Canyon. He took a shot and and the creature toppled into the canyon. The group hastily left the area. Beck and one of the men, Roy Smith later returned with newspaper people and investigators."

Footprints were found, but photographs have not come to light if they were taken.
