00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:09.000
You have ever heard of Theodor Rousebelt
as President of the United States in one

2
00:00:09.080 --> 00:00:15.000
thousand nine hundred and nine. He' s a well- known character in

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.120
that country. But one thing few
people know is that he also wrote a

4
00:00:19.120 --> 00:00:24.120
book. The book was called something
like The Wild Durness Hunter, the hunter

5
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:32.520
of the wild or the hunter of
the lonely places Go. What you want

6
00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:38.359
to call the book itself. It
would have no greater significance for people who

7
00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:43.600
respect the lives of animals, because
it is a hunting manual, so we

8
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:50.359
would put it aside and not buy
it, except for a very small segment.

9
00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.240
The book was published in one thousand
eight hundred ninety- three and in

10
00:00:56.479 --> 00:01:00.280
the text he would later be President
of the United States. He described a

11
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:07.719
conversation he had with a guy in
an area between Montana and Wyoming, in

12
00:01:07.719 --> 00:01:12.120
the mountain ranges near the Wisdom River. The guy who lived there was a

13
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:19.159
mountain man, almost a trapper hermit
hunter. He wasn' t a guy

14
00:01:19.239 --> 00:01:25.079
who talked a lot, he wasn' t a guy who lied. He

15
00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:30.000
was a guy who lived alone and
practically all he had to tell. It

16
00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:44.560
was a terrible experience. Lived years
ago accounts of the dark side for strange

17
00:01:45.239 --> 00:02:01.840
beings events are inexplicable, diversity,
family, stories that other minds prefer to

18
00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:10.439
ignore. Let me go back in
time. We are in the mountainous area,

19
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.479
in a place that was considered as
the border. The limit of the

20
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:23.319
United States must be one thousand eight
hundred sixty or so and it is an

21
00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:30.639
incredibly rich area in life. There' s no city nearby, there'

22
00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:35.240
s no villages nearby. The only
thing there are are some gambusinos who go

23
00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:39.479
looking for gold in the rivers.
They' re miners, people looking for

24
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.120
gold nuggets in the water of rivers. There are also some hunters who go

25
00:02:45.120 --> 00:02:50.919
up to those remote places to get
fur. They are well marketed in the

26
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:57.159
villages below the mountains. It'
s a cold zone, it' s

27
00:02:57.159 --> 00:03:01.400
a lonely hostile zone. Two hunters
are on their way. One of them

28
00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:07.960
is Carl Bauman, a man in
his late thirties. He is accompanied by

29
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:14.360
another man of his group, who
have settled about twelve kilometers from there,

30
00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:20.000
on the banks of the river.
They' re both cheaters, that is,

31
00:03:20.159 --> 00:03:23.120
people who set traps to hunt beavers. The beaver' s skin is

32
00:03:23.199 --> 00:03:28.840
marketed well, part of the meat
is consumed and with other parts of the

33
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:34.039
beaver they make remedies and lots of
things. The fact is that every once

34
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.680
in a while they go up the
mountain, they look for a stream where

35
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:42.759
they promise that beavers may be present
and set the traps. They stay up

36
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.919
there two or three days, maybe
a little longer, until they have enough

37
00:03:47.039 --> 00:03:53.960
skins and come down to market them. They' re amazingly quiet places.

38
00:03:54.800 --> 00:04:00.520
And yet, the year before,
there had been an incident or terrible.

39
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:09.520
Some gambusinos found the horribly destroyed body
of a hunter the night before. Just

40
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:13.960
the night before, that same group
of gambusinos had met the hunter in their

41
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:19.600
camp and had shared dinner in the
morning. The gambusinos had followed their path,

42
00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:26.600
but in the afternoon they had returned
and what they found was the hunter

43
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:30.680
partially devoured, badly wounded, that
is, the body was badly damaged,

44
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:38.959
His camp was totally destroyed and there
were traces on the floor that were strange.

45
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.240
The two hunters know that and pass
very close to the place where it

46
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.000
had occurred. They go there and
search for a clearing in the forest is

47
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:51.720
a little high about three hundred or
four hundred meters from the bank of the

48
00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:59.680
stream, so that at night beavers
do not smell the smell of smoke and

49
00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:04.560
do not notice that there are traps. They get there and place the different

50
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:10.279
gear they have, they hang things, they hang up blankets to sleep and

51
00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:14.480
they enable a kind of temporary shelter. They' re people who are used

52
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:16.120
to this. So they don'
t have much trouble cutting some woods,

53
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:21.399
setting up a shelter, putting up
wood to prepare a bonfire, and then,

54
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:27.079
seeing that there is still daylight,
they go to the river to set

55
00:05:27.079 --> 00:05:31.279
up the first traps. When night
falls, they return to that clearing of

56
00:05:31.399 --> 00:05:36.120
the forest where they had left everything
tidy and ready for their camp. What

57
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:41.360
they find is that it' s
all scattered. Something came up and ripped

58
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:44.759
everything apart, broke the shelter,
threw things away, empty in the backpacks.

59
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:50.120
He did a irrigator of things.
They start lifting everything up to reorder

60
00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:59.079
it. One of them lights up
some kind of torch and looks at the

61
00:05:59.079 --> 00:06:02.800
footprints on the floor. The floor' s a little soft. So you

62
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:09.879
notice unusual footprints. In the meantime, Bauman is picking everything up and settling

63
00:06:09.879 --> 00:06:13.439
it back in. When you finish
settling all this, your partner tells you

64
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:18.160
why you don' t come and
see. You both see some big prints.

65
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:23.959
They have some resemblance to bear prints, but they' re not bear

66
00:06:23.959 --> 00:06:26.600
prints. Don' t lose sight
of them as hunters. They' re

67
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.879
people who live to know what animal
they' re following. But the most

68
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.000
curious and funny thing is a comment
from your friend when he says he'

69
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:41.199
s nice. But this bear walked
on two legs. They both laugh a

70
00:06:41.240 --> 00:06:46.279
little bit and then they eat something
they had. They leave the bonfire on

71
00:06:46.279 --> 00:06:53.399
and lie down in this sort of
shelter. Basically it' s some kind

72
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:58.680
of wooden roof with two arches in
front and there they put the tents and

73
00:06:59.160 --> 00:07:04.000
let it drown on at some point
in the night. However, Bauman wakes

74
00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:11.120
up maybe some noise has made it, wake up, maybe some tread,

75
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:15.959
some branch that breaks something, He
has woken up close to the hand,

76
00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.759
to the riffle that has aside and
prepares because I have heard something. But

77
00:07:19.040 --> 00:07:24.759
what draws his attention the most is
not the sound, but the penetrating and

78
00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:30.399
disgusting smell that reigns in the environment. It' s not a rotten smell

79
00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:34.680
or a dead animal. It'
s a nasty smell, it' s

80
00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:40.720
a dirty smell. Bitter. It
reminds you of some smells of animal urine

81
00:07:40.759 --> 00:07:45.920
you' ve ever felt, but
I' ve never heard anything so intense

82
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.879
and so annoying. It incorporates sleeps
on the floor. They only have one

83
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:53.600
blanket, and on top of this, they have a little bit of it

84
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:58.240
with the rifle in their hand and
at that moment, with the little light

85
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:01.120
that is still left of the campfire
that are practically ns rbones. See how

86
00:08:01.560 --> 00:08:07.600
in front of his shelter there is
a silhouette of a huge creature. It

87
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.000
might look like a human being.
If it weren' t, because it

88
00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.600
' s too big, you can' t tell details. It' s

89
00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:18.040
nighttime. I' ve been waking
up and look at this thing that'

90
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:18.160
s getting closer to where the two
of them are. No doubt about it,

91
00:08:20.439 --> 00:08:26.160
shoots that thing running out his partner
wakes up and while they are awake,

92
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.639
the smell is very noticeable. They
both realize it, but they also

93
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:37.879
begin to hear sounds, sounds that
might look like a grunt, a deep

94
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.080
cry of throat, among the barking. It' s very strange. It

95
00:08:41.120 --> 00:08:48.440
' s all very strange. The
next morning they' re going to find

96
00:08:48.519 --> 00:08:50.759
the traps and on their way to
the creek. They realize the prints are

97
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:58.279
there. The footprints become much more
evident now near the bank of the stream,

98
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.360
where the ground is even softer and
definitely not of worried bear. Both

99
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:09.639
trappers realize that this is not ultimately
a bear and that it also walks upright.

100
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.360
Bauman sees these tracks, tells the
steps, and realizes it' s

101
00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.399
a big thing, but he walks
upright on two legs. They work the

102
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:28.759
rest of the day and in the
afternoon they return to camp. Again they

103
00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.759
find it, made, a disaster. Everything is watered here and there they

104
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:37.840
pick up everything again, but it
takes longer to pick up what they begin

105
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.879
to hear. Sounds that peculiar crack
noise, a branch that breaks. It

106
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:48.399
' s very notorious. Something big
is stepping on the vegetation and you hear

107
00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.039
the creak, but then you hear
a sort of grunt in the vegetation,

108
00:09:54.200 --> 00:09:58.120
in the darkness. Suddenly one hears
the grunt and one hears how he walks,

109
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.879
but then one hears this sound that
seems to be a bark, but

110
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.279
at the same time it is very
deep. And then that scream. It

111
00:10:07.399 --> 00:10:11.759
' s a sound like there'
s someone, a big man screaming very

112
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:16.279
loudly cracks the nerves of the bravest. It' s something that terrifies me.

113
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:18.639
It' s a scary thing to
do. Bauman and his friend are

114
00:10:18.639 --> 00:10:24.320
hunters. They' ve practically slept
their lives in the open field, but

115
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:26.240
they' ve never heard this before. Can you tell the sound of a

116
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:31.320
bear? They know the sound of
a puma from some animal there. This

117
00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:39.559
isn' t worried. They remain
almost all night awake and the sound surrounds

118
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:46.159
them for the moment they realize that
there on the side of the vegetation,

119
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.279
something has moved and they can distinguish
the eyes that shine in the heat of

120
00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:52.799
the fire, but it does not
come near, but it is watching them.

121
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:56.519
Whatever it is is there and it' s watching them and maybe it

122
00:10:56.519 --> 00:11:01.679
' s not one, but several. They spend the whole night like this.

123
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:07.480
Eventually, Bauman would claim to have
fired a shot to alert, to

124
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:13.679
chase away the sound scares at dawn. Both men are very frightened and decide

125
00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:18.480
to set up camp and retire.
They' re headed for the creek where

126
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.759
they get some traps back. They
return to the camp and while they are

127
00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:26.480
packing, Bauman realizes that three traps
are missing, he is going to pick

128
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:33.519
them up, in which his colleague
finishes picking up the bags and mounting them

129
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:39.919
to take them. Baumancia walks into
the vegetation. Keep listening to crack all

130
00:11:39.039 --> 00:11:43.519
of a sudden. Some grass that
breaks, some branch that breaks. It

131
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.919
is a very nervous thing that makes
Bauman nervous, who arrives at the stream,

132
00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:52.159
rushes, picks up the traps and
returns to the place just to realize

133
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:58.600
something. Your friend is dead.
All things are irrigated everywhere. But he

134
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.720
' s tying her up that his
friend has been vicious, kind of angry.

135
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.240
Whatever it is, he attacked him, not only bit him and ate

136
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.919
him like a bear would have.
The bear would have killed his friend,

137
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.000
seriously wounded him, and taken him
away to eat him in his den.

138
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.440
This didn' t, this attacked
him, hit him, tossed him,

139
00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:28.000
broke him almost in half and finally
killed him with a certain bite at his

140
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:33.639
neck, but a very large bite
and yet it wasn' t a bite

141
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.360
that he would have ripped off.
It was something he' d never seen

142
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.799
before. The body was hot and
noticeable, as everywhere there are these weird

143
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.679
footprints that go and come the attack
had been very strong. Bauman descends abandoning

144
00:12:46.799 --> 00:12:58.000
everything. Years later in a conversation
with that hunter, Feodor Rosebalt would tell

145
00:12:58.039 --> 00:13:01.279
him the story. He wasn'
t a man of many words. According

146
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:07.120
to reports, Bauman would probably die
a few years later. He was an

147
00:13:07.159 --> 00:13:13.720
older man, but what he was
talking about he was saying it with all

148
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:16.960
the conviction that he was telling the
truth. In turn, Roosevelt' s

149
00:13:18.080 --> 00:13:20.879
cold would talk about it in his
book of one thousand eight hundred ninety-

150
00:13:22.080 --> 00:13:28.720
three, in the hunter of the
wild Wilderness Hunter, claiming that he had

151
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:33.480
not been a witness, but that
that man looked reliable. Neither Roosevelt nor

152
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.480
Bauman gave that name. What is
a fact is that in Bauman' s

153
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:45.960
story there had been two attacks,
the first one a year before he had

154
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:50.679
killed the hunter, and the second
one of his friend. It' s

155
00:13:50.679 --> 00:13:54.600
funny. They didn' t know, but a few miles from there,

156
00:13:54.679 --> 00:13:58.879
in the same mountain range on the
Canadian side, in the British Columbia region,

157
00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:07.600
that creature had a name on the
British Columbia side. The natives of

158
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:13.200
the region, the native inhabitants,
were known as the chehalis. The She

159
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:20.080
Hali tribe knew these creatures and called
them sasketz. That was the way they

160
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:26.720
defined him, and this amounted to
calling him the wild man or the hairy

161
00:14:26.759 --> 00:14:31.240
man. In general he has assimilated
himself as the wild man. They knew

162
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:37.399
these creatures existed and had deep respect
for them. In local mythology and in

163
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.960
legends given by oral tradition, the
spirit of the Saskets Mountains was spoken of.

164
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:48.799
For them, in their conviction,
it was a creature that dwelt between

165
00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.639
the two kingdoms, the animal kingdom
ran and the spiritual realm. Rituals were

166
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:58.759
performed to honor him and different products
were taken to the woods in a kind

167
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:05.679
of king They had sympathy for him
and within the tribe of the Shehalis there

168
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:13.159
was no mention of any attack there
had been no stories of Shehalice killed by

169
00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:18.159
an attack, but there had been
some peculiar story in which they claimed that,

170
00:15:18.639 --> 00:15:24.039
by mistake, one of these saskets
had taken a Shehalis woman to the

171
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.159
mountain to be her companion and at
the end of time, the woman had

172
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:33.000
returned, that is, she had
not killed her. The word sasketz would

173
00:15:33.879 --> 00:15:43.240
be pronounced by settlers as sasquach and
hence comes the term used to describe a

174
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:50.879
cryptozoological creature, a creature that is
suggested there is an existence, but it

175
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.399
has not been proven. Cryptozoology takes
care of that, of investigating creatures whose

176
00:15:56.759 --> 00:16:02.919
existence is assured to be real,
but there is no definitive proof. And

177
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:07.960
in the case of sasquach, the
evidence is amazing. Since the appearance of

178
00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:12.919
the first reports in one thousand eight
hundred and eighty- four. Up to

179
00:16:12.919 --> 00:16:18.759
a thousand nine hundred and forty-
five had been documented over a thousand and

180
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.320
two hundred encounters. These meetings were
of all kinds, from people who had

181
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:25.399
seen him in the distance, people
who had seen him in his camp,

182
00:16:26.159 --> 00:16:32.200
communities who had had encounters with these
creatures. The general description is the same,

183
00:16:33.320 --> 00:16:38.279
a large creature of very covered fur. His body is very covered in

184
00:16:38.320 --> 00:16:44.679
this fur. Fatty. For the
Sasquash of the North, that is,

185
00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:48.840
of the Britis territories, Columbia,
the predominant color is black or coffee,

186
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:53.080
very dark. On the other hand, for the large foot of California,

187
00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:59.399
in the rocky area, the predominant
color scapé. The creature described by the

188
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:04.920
ancient She Halis and the first British
Columbia settlers. It was a creature of

189
00:17:04.960 --> 00:17:10.240
more than two and a half meters, it should weigh at least two hundred

190
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:18.160
and fifty kilos, extremely heavy,
extremely strong, capable of tearing down trees,

191
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:25.960
capable of killing a man if necessary, since it also tends to be

192
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:29.480
particularly resentful. In Bauman' s
particular case, the attack had been caused

193
00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:36.039
by a gunshot. Maybe if Bauman
hadn' t shot him, that creature

194
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.680
would have snooped around and seen something
that caught his attention. But according to

195
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:45.480
she Halis belief, sasquash, or
as they call it saskets, does not

196
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:51.480
eat meat. It' s an
animal that pepenabayas, that eats fruits.

197
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:56.039
Eventually he eats eggs from birds,
but he doesn' t eat meat.

198
00:17:56.559 --> 00:18:00.440
He' s not a predator.
Therefore, the attacks are due to a

199
00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:07.400
burst of Ira made him literally angry. Another characteristic is that, although there

200
00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:14.680
are families, they are not numerous. The description is basically a male,

201
00:18:14.720 --> 00:18:18.079
a female and two young. They
usually live in caverns. They like to

202
00:18:18.119 --> 00:18:23.400
live in caves and the deeper and
safer, the better for them. Shehalis

203
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:30.799
used to look for these caverns to
leave gifts. Gifts were usually some breads,

204
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:37.960
some apples, something that had fruit. With this, the Sasketz was

205
00:18:38.039 --> 00:18:44.880
happy. You may think they are
myths and fantasies. However, if I

206
00:18:44.960 --> 00:18:49.119
were to tell you that in a
newspaper known as El Victorias British colonist,

207
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.440
one of the first newspapers to be
published in Canada, in its 1,

208
00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:02.240
80804 edition, in July, it
recounted an incredible event. Oh, yeah,

209
00:19:03.079 --> 00:19:04.920
I know you' re going to
think it was a fantasy, but

210
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:12.039
well, in that year the news
is that two years ago one of these

211
00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:17.279
beings had been captured. The account
was interesting because, moreover, those who

212
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:22.359
contributed the account were employees of the
railway company, yes, of the rail

213
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.799
Road Express, who claimed that the
year before, two years ago, in

214
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.920
one thousand eight hundred eighty- two, while traveling near tunnel four of the

215
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:37.160
road that goes towards the population of
Yale, British Columbia, they observed something

216
00:19:37.200 --> 00:19:41.839
that caught their attention, because as
they approached the curve of tunnel four of

217
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:48.240
the railway track, they could see
a person who was lying on one side

218
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:51.279
of the track. It caught the
attention of someone dressed in black. It

219
00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:56.799
did not seem to be normal,
so it sounds on the whistle and that

220
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:00.559
thing is incorporated and they realize that
it is not a person, but a

221
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:06.200
kind of cymium, a kind of
totally black gorilla that walks on two legs

222
00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:10.039
and has a human appearance, except
that the arms are a little longer.

223
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:14.079
Legs are straight. Unlike the micos
you had seen in a circus, it

224
00:20:14.079 --> 00:20:19.599
has straight legs and moves quickly.
When he hears the train whistle, he

225
00:20:19.640 --> 00:20:25.640
hastens to turn away. The people
of the train stop the march and quickly

226
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.359
come down to chase him. They
don' t kill him. In fact,

227
00:20:29.880 --> 00:20:33.559
the persecution ends when that creature receives
a strong stone in the head that

228
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:38.400
immediately knocks him down, picks him
up, ties him up and gets him

229
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.759
on the train and takes him away. The creature was not especially large,

230
00:20:44.799 --> 00:20:51.000
I would say a meter forty,
but it was incredibly strong, able to

231
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.279
break logs that a human could not
have left. I was easily leaving them.

232
00:20:55.319 --> 00:21:00.000
He was affectionately called a yaco and
lived for some time in the house

233
00:21:00.039 --> 00:21:04.319
of the man who had trapped him
in the town of Yalebit, British Columbia.

234
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:07.200
According to what the newspaper said,
in a thousand eight hundred and eighty

235
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.079
- four, that man had taken
care of feeding him with things other than

236
00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:18.240
meat. In the religious pastor of
that place he had warned him not to

237
00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:22.119
give him meat so that he would
not become wild, and some trappers from

238
00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:26.319
the region, probably Chehalis, had
said the same thing that he would not

239
00:21:26.359 --> 00:21:34.279
think of giving him meat because he
would be deranged. That creature had the

240
00:21:34.319 --> 00:21:40.440
palms of his bare hands, had
a very human appearance in his hands,

241
00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:45.920
had a facial expression that changed when
he was with his master or when he

242
00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:48.279
was with strangers love. He was
the man who had captured him and fed

243
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:55.759
him daily, so the creature had
become close as if he were a pet,

244
00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:59.559
but of course much stronger. The
n o n O. It does

245
00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:03.319
not end when that creature, one
good day the man who held him captive

246
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:07.000
leaves, had no subject, was
not bound by anything, and when that

247
00:22:07.000 --> 00:22:12.000
creature simply felt the call of nature
or probably heard the call of his parents,

248
00:22:12.200 --> 00:22:19.680
he took his way and returned to
the mountain. Jaco is believed to

249
00:22:21.759 --> 00:22:26.200
be a young child, probably about
five or six years old, because it

250
00:22:26.599 --> 00:22:32.160
would be equivalent to a Gorilla child, but it is difficult to know.

251
00:22:32.759 --> 00:22:37.640
The news I have told you can
still get a copy today and it is

252
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:41.440
very interesting to read how it details, who were the ones who captured it,

253
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:48.279
how the train was going at the
company. Too much information to be

254
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:56.079
a lie, but if you thought
that all these are stories, ancient legends,

255
00:22:56.240 --> 00:23:02.039
let me tell you that in the
year two thousand twenty- one,

256
00:23:02.319 --> 00:23:07.359
in May, that is, this
year, a few months ago, a

257
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:11.039
young woman from Brittis, Columbia,
had to ask for help to get home.

258
00:23:14.319 --> 00:23:18.319
This girl worked all day and at
night she used to go to the

259
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:23.200
gym, a 24 hour lonely and
quiet gym, stuck on a road her

260
00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:27.079
house a couple of kilometers away.
From there he looked very good walking an

261
00:23:27.119 --> 00:23:33.400
extra exercise, only that there is
a detail all the regions, of a

262
00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:38.680
beautiful forest density, of an incredible
beauty, clear in summer. In winter

263
00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:42.519
it' s crazy, but in
summer it' s beautiful. This girl

264
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:48.680
walks when suddenly next to her something
moves. He doesn' t pay attention

265
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:52.279
to it. There' s a
lot of little animals. The road is

266
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.799
lighted up, it' s all
very well, keep walking, but it

267
00:23:57.880 --> 00:24:00.720
' s 100 meters from the gym. Don' t imagine you' re

268
00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:04.119
halfway there. It' s a
hundred meters away when suddenly that thing moves

269
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.480
and now it crosses in front of
it and that' s when she hits

270
00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.680
it. That' s huge.
He' s an incredibly big creature.

271
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.000
Walk upright, no doubt, walk
fast and move your arms. He'

272
00:24:18.079 --> 00:24:21.720
s got a bracing movement like he' s a human, but very big.

273
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:26.640
It makes a clear distinction. When
that thing passes under one of the

274
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:30.079
lighting poles, which is covered with
very robust hair, at least two and

275
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:38.680
a half meters, the girl panics
and returns running from there. Ask for

276
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:44.279
a borrowed phone to tell your parents
to please come and get her. This

277
00:24:44.400 --> 00:24:48.039
young woman, after hanging up the
phone, marks the police to report that

278
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:52.000
there' s something out there.
When the chief of police arrives, see

279
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:56.240
what it' s about. He' s not in much trouble. The

280
00:24:56.319 --> 00:24:59.920
girl is accompanied. Her parents are
coming for her. They take her home,

281
00:25:00.400 --> 00:25:04.599
all quiet. But please enter the
night don' t walk around here,

282
00:25:04.759 --> 00:25:11.079
because it' s Sasquash land and
everyone knows that some nights just come

283
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:18.720
down to have a little eye because
they' re curious, but at the

284
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.920
same time they do get scared,
they can become violent. In a thousand

285
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.400
nine hundred and forty- two,
in that same locality, a man tried

286
00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:32.160
to defend himself against a sasquash.
He had the happy idea of taking some

287
00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:37.119
kind of log and trying to hit
him. The creature broke both arms without

288
00:25:37.599 --> 00:25:42.480
much effort. A few years later, in the 1960s, there is a

289
00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:47.880
record of at least two people who
died from Sasquash' s attack. In

290
00:25:47.920 --> 00:25:53.119
both cases they had tried to hunt
the creature. The angry creature began throwing

291
00:25:53.119 --> 00:26:02.920
stones at them to death. So
he' s not a predator. Just

292
00:26:03.799 --> 00:26:18.920
don' t make him angry And
well, after telling you a little bit

293
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.640
about cryptozoology, let me send you
a few greetings. How about first of

294
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:27.119
all? We will greet Sonia Pacheco
and her daughter Maria, Ignacia Leo and

295
00:26:29.119 --> 00:26:33.079
Gerardo, who are in Maryland,
in the United States. Russian Perez is

296
00:26:33.119 --> 00:26:36.880
in Virginia, also in the United
States, and Christopher Lopez is on the

297
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.839
other side of the world, in
Chile, at the opposite end of the

298
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.880
continent, Irving. Antonio Ventura is
in the Dominican Republic, in Santo Domingo,

299
00:26:45.039 --> 00:26:49.599
a beautiful place. Antonio José Camayo
in Popayán, Colombia, must also

300
00:26:49.640 --> 00:26:53.640
be very nice, very full of
vegetation. Cinthia of Zelaya, who listens

301

as a family. Ana Laura Gómez
trinidad greets her father Mr Fernando Gómez,

303
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.279
who always listens to us and if
something is not clear to her, she

304
00:27:07.359 --> 00:27:11.920
returns a little and hears it again. So we sent a big hug to

305
00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:15.519
Don Fernando from us, from the
whole team and from Ana Laura Daniel Estuardo.

306
00:27:17.880 --> 00:27:19.640
He greets his sister, Andra Estuardo, who was the one who recommended

307
00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:25.200
the channel and they both stayed with
us, which gives us great pleasure.

308
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:30.240
We sent a hug to both of
you. White Sea and Gese. Blanca

309
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:34.079
Mar and Jesse is a very knowledgeable
person who has accompanied us for a long

310
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:37.960
time and casually tells us that we
have not greeted him. That' s

311
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:42.119
why, to take off our little
spin, we send a big hug to

312
00:27:42.400 --> 00:27:48.920
Blanca Mar and Jesse and we thank
him for always keeping an eye on us

313
00:27:48.920 --> 00:28:26.200
very good night and rest in peace
