Family Finds Suspected Bigfoot Tracks While Berry Picking on Ancestral Land

There's something really special about this footage that came across recently, and honestly, it's the kind of content that reminds me why I love digging through YouTube for hidden gems. A family out in what they call Wineberry Holler is sharing their property, their history, and some pretty compelling evidence that something tall and hairy is sharing the land with them.
The video starts innocently enough with a mom and her little one picking wineberries. For anyone unfamiliar, wineberries are these invasive but delicious berries that look like raspberries but have a tangier, almost wine-like taste. They're native to Asia but have spread throughout parts of North America, especially in the Appalachian region. The family mentions the berries didn't do well this year due to weird weather, but also notes something has been getting to them before they can. And here's where it gets interesting, they openly list the culprits as birds, bears, and Sasquatch. Not even a hesitation. That's the kind of coexistence mindset you don't see often enough.
Then the footage gets into the really good stuff. The mom points out trees that have been stacked in a peculiar way, something that has always fascinated researchers. Tree stacking, sometimes called "tree structures" or "tree nests," has been reported in Sasquatch hotspots for decades. The family also shows an area where something has clearly been pushing through, knocking things down in ways that don't match typical bear or deer behavior.
But the highlight? The footprints. She finds what she identifies as a Sasquatch track, and the details she points out are textbook. A rounded heel, no claw marks, and distinct toe impressions. She even finds a smaller print that she calls a "little Sasquatch track," which is fascinating because juvenile Sasquatch tracks are rarely documented. The rounded heel is a key identifier that researchers often cite when distinguishing Sasquatch tracks from bear tracks, since bears have a more elongated heel pad and prominent claws.
There's also a moment where she finds scat full of berries and jokes it could be bear or Sasquatch. Either way, something with a taste for wineberries is definitely frequenting the area.
What really makes this footage stand out though is the family cemetery segment. This isn't just Sasquatch country, it's ancestral land. The family shares their pioneer history, tracing back to figures like Lieutenant Daniel III Shumate and a Reverend Duncan who apparently helped found the Free Will Baptist movement in the area. The gravestones are beautiful and ancient, with inscriptions like "A tender mother and faithful friend." It's a powerful reminder that these mountains hold deep human history alongside whatever else might be walking through them.
The family's philosophy is refreshing. They leave the thickets near the spring alone because that's "their area." They don't want to take from the Sasquatch's territory. That kind of respect and boundary-setting is something more researchers should pay attention to.
If you haven't seen this one yet, do yourself a favor and check it out. The combination of footprint evidence, tree structures, family history, and that genuine Appalachian mountain atmosphere makes it worth every minute.
