Un encuentro con Sasquatch | Relatos del lado oscuro (Podcast)

0:00 You have ever heard of Theodor Rousebelt as President of the United States in one thousand nine hundred and nine. He' s a well- known character in that country. But one thing few people know is that he also wrote a book. The book was called something like The Wild Durness Hunter, the hunter of the wild or the hunter of the lonely places Go. What you want to call the book itself. It would have no greater significance for people who respect the lives of animals, because it is a hunting manual, so we would put it aside and not buy it, except for a very small segment.

0:51 The book was published in one thousand eight hundred ninety- three and in the text he would later be President of the United States. He described a conversation he had with a guy in an area between Montana and Wyoming, in the mountain ranges near the Wisdom River. The guy who lived there was a mountain man, almost a trapper hermit hunter. He wasn' t a guy who talked a lot, he wasn' t a guy who lied. He was a guy who lived alone and practically all he had to tell. It was a terrible experience. Lived years ago accounts of the dark side for strange beings events are inexplicable, diversity, family, stories that other minds prefer to ignore. Let me go back in time. We are in the mountainous area, in a place that was considered as the border. The limit of the United States must be one thousand eight hundred sixty or so and it is an

2:23 incredibly rich area in life. There' s no city nearby, there' s no villages nearby. The only thing there are are some gambusinos who go looking for gold in the rivers. They' re miners, people looking for gold nuggets in the water of rivers. There are also some hunters who go up to those remote places to get fur. They are well marketed in the villages below the mountains. It' s a cold zone, it' s a lonely hostile zone. Two hunters are on their way. One of them is Carl Bauman, a man in his late thirties. He is accompanied by another man of his group, who have settled about twelve kilometers from there, on the banks of the river. They' re both cheaters, that is, people who set traps to hunt beavers. The beaver' s skin is marketed well, part of the meat is consumed and with other parts of the beaver they make remedies and lots of things. The fact is that every once in a while they go up the mountain, they look for a stream where they promise that beavers may be present and set the traps. They stay up there two or three days, maybe a little longer, until they have enough skins and come down to market them. They' re amazingly quiet places.

3:54 And yet, the year before, there had been an incident or terrible. Some gambusinos found the horribly destroyed body of a hunter the night before. Just the night before, that same group of gambusinos had met the hunter in their camp and had shared dinner in the morning. The gambusinos had followed their path, but in the afternoon they had returned and what they found was the hunter partially devoured, badly wounded, that is, the body was badly damaged, His camp was totally destroyed and there were traces on the floor that were strange.

4:39 The two hunters know that and pass very close to the place where it had occurred. They go there and search for a clearing in the forest is a little high about three hundred or four hundred meters from the bank of the stream, so that at night beavers do not smell the smell of smoke and do not notice that there are traps. They get there and place the different gear they have, they hang things, they hang up blankets to sleep and they enable a kind of temporary shelter. They' re people who are used to this. So they don' t have much trouble cutting some woods, setting up a shelter, putting up wood to prepare a bonfire, and then, seeing that there is still daylight, they go to the river to set up the first traps. When night falls, they return to that clearing of the forest where they had left everything tidy and ready for their camp. What they find is that it' s all scattered. Something came up and ripped everything apart, broke the shelter, threw things away, empty in the backpacks.

5:45 He did a irrigator of things. They start lifting everything up to reorder it. One of them lights up some kind of torch and looks at the footprints on the floor. The floor' s a little soft. So you notice unusual footprints. In the meantime, Bauman is picking everything up and settling it back in. When you finish settling all this, your partner tells you why you don' t come and see. You both see some big prints. They have some resemblance to bear prints, but they' re not bear prints. Don' t lose sight of them as hunters. They' re people who live to know what animal they' re following. But the most curious and funny thing is a comment from your friend when he says he' s nice. But this bear walked on two legs. They both laugh a little bit and then they eat something they had. They leave the bonfire on and lie down in this sort of shelter. Basically it' s some kind of wooden roof with two arches in front and there they put the tents and let it drown on at some point in the night. However, Bauman wakes up maybe some noise has made it, wake up, maybe some tread, some branch that breaks something, He has woken up close to the hand, to the riffle that has aside and prepares because I have heard something. But

7:19 what draws his attention the most is not the sound, but the penetrating and disgusting smell that reigns in the environment. It' s not a rotten smell or a dead animal. It' s a nasty smell, it' s a dirty smell. Bitter. It reminds you of some smells of animal urine you' ve ever felt, but I' ve never heard anything so intense and so annoying. It incorporates sleeps on the floor. They only have one blanket, and on top of this, they have a little bit of it with the rifle in their hand and at that moment, with the little light that is still left of the campfire that are practically ns rbones. See how in front of his shelter there is a silhouette of a huge creature. It might look like a human being. If it weren' t, because it ' s too big, you can' t tell details. It' s nighttime. I' ve been waking up and look at this thing that' s getting closer to where the two of them are. No doubt about it, shoots that thing running out his partner wakes up and while they are awake, the smell is very noticeable. They both realize it, but they also begin to hear sounds, sounds that might look like a grunt, a deep cry of throat, among the barking. It' s very strange. It ' s all very strange. The next morning they' re going to find the traps and on their way to the creek. They realize the prints are

8:50 there. The footprints become much more evident now near the bank of the stream, where the ground is even softer and definitely not of worried bear. Both trappers realize that this is not ultimately a bear and that it also walks upright. Bauman sees these tracks, tells the steps, and realizes it' s a big thing, but he walks upright on two legs. They work the rest of the day and in the afternoon they return to camp. Again they find it, made, a disaster. Everything is watered here and there they pick up everything again, but it takes longer to pick up what they begin to hear. Sounds that peculiar crack noise, a branch that breaks. It ' s very notorious. Something big is stepping on the vegetation and you hear the creak, but then you hear a sort of grunt in the vegetation, in the darkness. Suddenly one hears the grunt and one hears how he walks, but then one hears this sound that seems to be a bark, but at the same time it is very deep. And then that scream. It ' s a sound like there' s someone, a big man screaming very loudly cracks the nerves of the bravest. It' s something that terrifies me.

10:16 It' s a scary thing to do. Bauman and his friend are hunters. They' ve practically slept their lives in the open field, but they' ve never heard this before. Can you tell the sound of a bear? They know the sound of a puma from some animal there. This isn' t worried. They remain almost all night awake and the sound surrounds them for the moment they realize that there on the side of the vegetation, something has moved and they can distinguish the eyes that shine in the heat of the fire, but it does not come near, but it is watching them. Whatever it is is there and it' s watching them and maybe it ' s not one, but several. They spend the whole night like this.

11:01 Eventually, Bauman would claim to have fired a shot to alert, to chase away the sound scares at dawn. Both men are very frightened and decide to set up camp and retire. They' re headed for the creek where they get some traps back. They return to the camp and while they are packing, Bauman realizes that three traps are missing, he is going to pick them up, in which his colleague finishes picking up the bags and mounting them to take them. Baumancia walks into the vegetation. Keep listening to crack all of a sudden. Some grass that breaks, some branch that breaks. It is a very nervous thing that makes Bauman nervous, who arrives at the stream, rushes, picks up the traps and returns to the place just to realize something. Your friend is dead. All things are irrigated everywhere. But he ' s tying her up that his friend has been vicious, kind of angry.

12:03 Whatever it is, he attacked him, not only bit him and ate him like a bear would have. The bear would have killed his friend, seriously wounded him, and taken him away to eat him in his den. This didn' t, this attacked him, hit him, tossed him, broke him almost in half and finally killed him with a certain bite at his neck, but a very large bite and yet it wasn' t a bite that he would have ripped off. It was something he' d never seen before. The body was hot and noticeable, as everywhere there are these weird footprints that go and come the attack had been very strong. Bauman descends abandoning everything. Years later in a conversation with that hunter, Feodor Rosebalt would tell him the story. He wasn' t a man of many words. According to reports, Bauman would probably die a few years later. He was an older man, but what he was talking about he was saying it with all the conviction that he was telling the truth. In turn, Roosevelt' s cold would talk about it in his book of one thousand eight hundred ninety- three, in the hunter of the wild Wilderness Hunter, claiming that he had not been a witness, but that that man looked reliable. Neither Roosevelt nor

13:33 Bauman gave that name. What is a fact is that in Bauman' s story there had been two attacks, the first one a year before he had killed the hunter, and the second one of his friend. It' s funny. They didn' t know, but a few miles from there, in the same mountain range on the Canadian side, in the British Columbia region, that creature had a name on the British Columbia side. The natives of the region, the native inhabitants, were known as the chehalis. The She Hali tribe knew these creatures and called them sasketz. That was the way they defined him, and this amounted to calling him the wild man or the hairy man. In general he has assimilated himself as the wild man. They knew these creatures existed and had deep respect for them. In local mythology and in legends given by oral tradition, the spirit of the Saskets Mountains was spoken of.

14:43 For them, in their conviction, it was a creature that dwelt between the two kingdoms, the animal kingdom ran and the spiritual realm. Rituals were performed to honor him and different products were taken to the woods in a kind of king They had sympathy for him and within the tribe of the Shehalis there was no mention of any attack there had been no stories of Shehalice killed by an attack, but there had been some peculiar story in which they claimed that, by mistake, one of these saskets had taken a Shehalis woman to the mountain to be her companion and at the end of time, the woman had returned, that is, she had not killed her. The word sasketz would be pronounced by settlers as sasquach and hence comes the term used to describe a cryptozoological creature, a creature that is suggested there is an existence, but it has not been proven. Cryptozoology takes care of that, of investigating creatures whose existence is assured to be real, but there is no definitive proof. And in the case of sasquach, the evidence is amazing. Since the appearance of the first reports in one thousand eight hundred and eighty- four. Up to a thousand nine hundred and forty- five had been documented over a thousand and

16:18 two hundred encounters. These meetings were of all kinds, from people who had seen him in the distance, people who had seen him in his camp, communities who had had encounters with these creatures. The general description is the same, a large creature of very covered fur. His body is very covered in this fur. Fatty. For the Sasquash of the North, that is, of the Britis territories, Columbia, the predominant color is black or coffee, very dark. On the other hand, for the large foot of California, in the rocky area, the predominant color scapé. The creature described by the ancient She Halis and the first British Columbia settlers. It was a creature of more than two and a half meters, it should weigh at least two hundred and fifty kilos, extremely heavy, extremely strong, capable of tearing down trees, capable of killing a man if necessary, since it also tends to be particularly resentful. In Bauman' s particular case, the attack had been caused by a gunshot. Maybe if Bauman hadn' t shot him, that creature would have snooped around and seen something that caught his attention. But according to she Halis belief, sasquash, or as they call it saskets, does not eat meat. It' s an animal that pepenabayas, that eats fruits.

17:51 Eventually he eats eggs from birds, but he doesn' t eat meat. He' s not a predator. Therefore, the attacks are due to a burst of Ira made him literally angry. Another characteristic is that, although there are families, they are not numerous. The description is basically a male, a female and two young. They usually live in caverns. They like to live in caves and the deeper and safer, the better for them. Shehalis used to look for these caverns to leave gifts. Gifts were usually some breads, some apples, something that had fruit. With this, the Sasketz was happy. You may think they are myths and fantasies. However, if I were to tell you that in a newspaper known as El Victorias British colonist, one of the first newspapers to be published in Canada, in its 1, 80804 edition, in July, it recounted an incredible event. Oh, yeah, I know you' re going to think it was a fantasy, but well, in that year the news is that two years ago one of these beings had been captured. The account was interesting because, moreover, those who contributed the account were employees of the railway company, yes, of the rail

19:22 Road Express, who claimed that the year before, two years ago, in one thousand eight hundred eighty- two, while traveling near tunnel four of the road that goes towards the population of Yale, British Columbia, they observed something that caught their attention, because as they approached the curve of tunnel four of the railway track, they could see a person who was lying on one side of the track. It caught the attention of someone dressed in black. It did not seem to be normal, so it sounds on the whistle and that thing is incorporated and they realize that it is not a person, but a kind of cymium, a kind of totally black gorilla that walks on two legs and has a human appearance, except that the arms are a little longer.

20:10 Legs are straight. Unlike the micos you had seen in a circus, it has straight legs and moves quickly. When he hears the train whistle, he hastens to turn away. The people of the train stop the march and quickly come down to chase him. They don' t kill him. In fact, the persecution ends when that creature receives a strong stone in the head that immediately knocks him down, picks him up, ties him up and gets him on the train and takes him away. The creature was not especially large, I would say a meter forty, but it was incredibly strong, able to break logs that a human could not have left. I was easily leaving them.

20:55 He was affectionately called a yaco and lived for some time in the house of the man who had trapped him in the town of Yalebit, British Columbia. According to what the newspaper said, in a thousand eight hundred and eighty - four, that man had taken care of feeding him with things other than meat. In the religious pastor of that place he had warned him not to give him meat so that he would not become wild, and some trappers from the region, probably Chehalis, had said the same thing that he would not think of giving him meat because he would be deranged. That creature had the palms of his bare hands, had a very human appearance in his hands, had a facial expression that changed when he was with his master or when he was with strangers love. He was the man who had captured him and fed him daily, so the creature had become close as if he were a pet, but of course much stronger. The n o n O. It does not end when that creature, one good day the man who held him captive leaves, had no subject, was not bound by anything, and when that creature simply felt the call of nature or probably heard the call of his parents, he took his way and returned to the mountain. Jaco is believed to be a young child, probably about five or six years old, because it

22:26 would be equivalent to a Gorilla child, but it is difficult to know. The news I have told you can still get a copy today and it is very interesting to read how it details, who were the ones who captured it, how the train was going at the company. Too much information to be a lie, but if you thought that all these are stories, ancient legends, let me tell you that in the year two thousand twenty- one, in May, that is, this year, a few months ago, a young woman from Brittis, Columbia, had to ask for help to get home.

23:14 This girl worked all day and at night she used to go to the gym, a 24 hour lonely and quiet gym, stuck on a road her house a couple of kilometers away. From there he looked very good walking an extra exercise, only that there is a detail all the regions, of a beautiful forest density, of an incredible beauty, clear in summer. In winter it' s crazy, but in summer it' s beautiful. This girl walks when suddenly next to her something moves. He doesn' t pay attention to it. There' s a lot of little animals. The road is lighted up, it' s all very well, keep walking, but it ' s 100 meters from the gym. Don' t imagine you' re halfway there. It' s a hundred meters away when suddenly that thing moves and now it crosses in front of it and that' s when she hits it. That' s huge. He' s an incredibly big creature.

24:12 Walk upright, no doubt, walk fast and move your arms. He' s got a bracing movement like he' s a human, but very big. It makes a clear distinction. When that thing passes under one of the lighting poles, which is covered with very robust hair, at least two and a half meters, the girl panics and returns running from there. Ask for a borrowed phone to tell your parents to please come and get her. This young woman, after hanging up the phone, marks the police to report that there' s something out there. When the chief of police arrives, see what it' s about. He' s not in much trouble. The girl is accompanied. Her parents are coming for her. They take her home, all quiet. But please enter the night don' t walk around here, because it' s Sasquash land and everyone knows that some nights just come down to have a little eye because they' re curious, but at the same time they do get scared, they can become violent. In a thousand nine hundred and forty- two, in that same locality, a man tried to defend himself against a sasquash. He had the happy idea of taking some kind of log and trying to hit him. The creature broke both arms without much effort. A few years later, in the 1960s, there is a record of at least two people who died from Sasquash' s attack. In

25:47 both cases they had tried to hunt the creature. The angry creature began throwing stones at them to death. So he' s not a predator. Just don' t make him angry And well, after telling you a little bit about cryptozoology, let me send you a few greetings. How about first of all? We will greet Sonia Pacheco and her daughter Maria, Ignacia Leo and Gerardo, who are in Maryland, in the United States. Russian Perez is in Virginia, also in the United States, and Christopher Lopez is on the other side of the world, in Chile, at the opposite end of the continent, Irving. Antonio Ventura is in the Dominican Republic, in Santo Domingo, a beautiful place. Antonio José Camayo in Popayán, Colombia, must also be very nice, very full of vegetation. Cinthia of Zelaya, who listens to us with her husband and daughter. Thank you so much for joining us as a family. Ana Laura Gómez trinidad greets her father Mr Fernando Gómez, who always listens to us and if something is not clear to her, she returns a little and hears it again. So we sent a big hug to Don Fernando from us, from the whole team and from Ana Laura Daniel Estuardo.

27:17 He greets his sister, Andra Estuardo, who was the one who recommended the channel and they both stayed with us, which gives us great pleasure. We sent a hug to both of you. White Sea and Gese. Blanca Mar and Jesse is a very knowledgeable person who has accompanied us for a long time and casually tells us that we have not greeted him. That' s why, to take off our little spin, we send a big hug to Blanca Mar and Jesse and we thank him for always keeping an eye on us very good night and rest in peace or R R R
