# A Crow Reservation Family Shares Their Chilling Encounters on Sasquatch Theory
There's something deeply compelling about hearing firsthand accounts from people who live on the land, generation after generation, and who carry stories passed down through their families. A recent episode of Sasquatch Theory on YouTube features exactly that kind of testimony. Haywood, a member of the Crow Nation from Pryor, Montana, sits down to share what he and his family have experienced on the vast 2.2 million-acre Crow Indian Reservation — a landscape of mountains, rivers, lakes, and wetlands where the population is sparse and the wilderness runs deep.
What makes this interview stand out isn't just the encounters themselves, but the cultural and spiritual framework surrounding them. Haywood explains that the Crow people hold ceremonies, respect the land and animals, and have long passed down traditions about an ancient race that once inhabited these areas. For him, the experiences aren't just strange events — they're connected to something much older and more profound.
His first encounter happened nearly a decade ago. After returning home from a trip to Red Lodge with a friend, Haywood stepped outside for a cigarette as night fell. That's when he heard it — what sounded like a little girl screaming from the direction of the barn, roughly 50 to 75 yards away. Surrounded by willows, trees, and valleys, the setting couldn't have been more isolated. Drawing on the wisdom of his grandfather and uncles, Haywood resisted panic and went inside to perform a cedar smudging ceremony, moving room to room while praying. His friend, who knew a great deal about Crow culture, woke up and asked if something had happened.
The strange sounds didn't stop there. While sitting outside again, Haywood heard what sounded like twigs breaking in the distance. When he extended his hand from beneath the porch shade, he felt rain — and realized the earlier cracking sounds were likely rain hitting the tin of a car hood. Still, something felt off. He told his friend it might be a warning sign, and they decided to stay in for the night.
When Haywood called his grandparents, older sister, and father to warn them, most didn't seem concerned. But the next morning, everything changed. After praying at the creek with tobacco — a sacred Crow tradition honoring the water and sun — his father arrived in a panic, asking what he had heard. His aunt, a white woman who Haywood says is "more Crow than some Crows," came tearing through the yard in her pickup, desperate to know what had happened.
The family gathered at the barn and discovered something shocking. A massive barbed wire fence surrounding the barn had been pulled approximately 15 to 20 yards, with a deer caught in it. But the most striking detail was the damage to the support poles. These weren't ordinary fence posts — they were six-foot-tall giants, wider in circumference than railroad ties. Whatever had caused the destruction had snapped them clean through, leaving them lying on the ground like broken toothpicks.
The physical evidence alone is enough to make any researcher sit up and pay attention. When something can snap a six-foot pole thicker than a railroad tie like a twig, the usual explanations start to fall away. Combined with the auditory phenomena, the spiritual warnings, and the family's deep connection to the land, this account carries a weight that goes beyond a typical sighting report.
Haywood's story is a powerful reminder that many Indigenous communities across North America have long held knowledge about these beings — knowledge that often gets overlooked in mainstream discourse. The Crow traditions, the cedar smudging, the tobacco offerings, and the warnings passed down from elders all point to a relationship with the unknown that has existed for countless generations.
This is one of those interviews that's worth sitting down and watching in full. The way Haywood describes the events — calmly, respectfully, and with genuine reverence for both the land and the traditions of his people — gives the account a credibility that's hard to dismiss. Sasquatch Theory has a knack for letting witnesses tell their stories without interruption, and this episode is no exception.
Check it out when there's time. It's the kind of report that stays with you long after the video ends.
