In a heart-stopping discovery, a YouTube video titled "They saw a Bigfoot fighting a grizzly bear | true story animated" from the channel Outland, has left the Bigfoot community buzzing with excitement. This captivating animation takes us back to 1938, deep in the wilds of British Columbia, Canada, where the Chahalis River carves through rugged mountains and dense timberlands.
The video recounts a chilling encounter experienced by Jimmy Craneback, a seasoned hunter from the Chahalis Native Reserve, and his companions. After a fruitless day tracking game in the mountains, they stumbled upon a scene that would forever change their lives.
At first, they thought they were witnessing two bears tearing each other apart. But as they stood by a fallen log 20 yards off, they tried to make sense of what they were seeing. One was a bear, the other was harder to make out. The creatures thrashed, locked in a brutal dance of strength. Their grunts and snarls filled the air. Bones crunched as they collided, tumbling dangerously close to the river's edge.
The hunters raised their rifles, eager to claim such a massive game before it was lost to the current. But then a sound unlike any animal froze their trigger fingers. A bellow, almost human, tore from one of the beasts. In that moment, they knew this was no bear. It was a Sasquatch, the elusive giant of native lore, a wild man of the mountains.
After the initial shock wore off and some deliberation among the men, they made their decision. They would help the Sasquatch. Whether it was as a result of a long-forgotten instinctual pact with a fellow primate or a healthy fear of ancient tribal legends revolving around these wild men of the forest is unknown. Accounts of how the men assisted in this battle remain vague.
For 10 ferocious minutes, the battle raged. The forest was staged for this ancient clash. Then, with a surge of raw power, the Sasquatch saw the bear's throat in its massive arms. The bear gasped, paws flailing, eyes bulging, and with one sharp grunt, the wild man finished it, flinging the carcass to the forest floor. The woods fell silent. But what took place that day, vivid, unshakable, lingered on. A testament to the mystery still stalking the wilds of the Chahalis.
