Carved into the southeast shoulder of Mount Saint Helens, is a deep and narrow gorge, the name of which is derived from a shocking encounter which was reported to have taken place there in July of 1924. A true struggle between man and beast, which would end up becoming known as the Battle of Ape Canyon.

Great video, as always, you spoil us.
I don't know if you take request, and if you do, if this is a request you would take, butt here goes…
Is there any chance at all you vould do an episode on Liminal spaces in general, and the "Backrooms" specifically?
I mean, technically, it is an urban legend. I just would live to here your take on them.
Seeahtik sound an awful lot like modern russians
I would never trifle with Bigfoot.
there's an ape in the canyon.
This is single handedly the greatest name for a YouTube video I’ve ever seen
How could 400lb creatures not go crashing through that flimsy roof?
Glad to see this hoary old Bigfoot tale get the Bedtime Stories treatment! It's one of the best and most convincing Bigfoot stories.
15:58 "…and it is theorized that the species may have crossed a land bridge as Pangaea separated". Pangaea broke up between 200 and 175 million years ago, between the Triassic and Jurassic periods. Mammals back then were limited to small rat-like creatures, and stayed that way until the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago. The Bering Land Bridge formed during the glacial maximums of the last 2.5 million years. You are getting geological eras mixed up.
Thank you for your hard work! I just found your channel, I recently started my own storytelling channel 'Spooky Mysteries' but YT algorithm is hard on new channels 🙂
I can think of scarier things associated with Mt St Helens.
You know that thing utterly devistated 210 square miles when the entire north face of the mountain blew up with a force equivalent to 26 megatons in 1980 right?
The eruption had a volcanic explosivily index of 5 and is considered the most desaterous erruption in US history.
Secondary effects of the erruption inclued mudslides, mass deforestation and the Ash injected into the atmospher lowered average global temperatures by 0.1 degrees C for over a year!
compared to that i'll take a small skirmish with a bunch of sasquatches any day of the week.
The ash column from the eruption reached as high as 80000 feet and pumice was deposited as far away as oklahoma for crying out loud!
Leave Bigfoot alone! Poor Bigfoot out in the woods foraging for food, minding its own business when it encounters…ugly, dentally impaired, weirdo humans! Poor creature.
Mr. Ballen sent me here.
Make a video of giants in the world, I come from Nunavut Canada and in my childrens book that I read I came across one of mythological creatures that the Inuit believed in, one stood out to me. A white giant with red hair and six fingers that would eat Inuit. And I remember asking myself… why isn’t he brown like an inuk? And after seeing giants across the world the 6 finger red hair thing is common across the globe and that blew me away.
And here’s alittle more for you, I was out smoking and started talking with an old couple of Inuks and the old man tells me he’s from Igloolik and He was out hunting with his son and they see some foot prints in the snow. Human shaped foot prints as long as his gun and he had to widen* well take huge strides to reach the second step. Curiously they decide to follow the tracks, they have a twelve gauge and a 223 with them so they feel capable.
So he and his son go back on their snowmobiles and start following these tracks and almost an hour in the tracks lead to some mountains. And he stops and then his son stops.
He told me “I could feel there is something watching us and it’s evil”
And they turn back but he told his son at the time “we’re running low on fuel we tracked these steps enough”
True story
MrBallen pointed me towards this channel and im so glad he did, please keep this channel alive !
Great story, artwork and narration, as always, gentlemen. I think of the films The Abominable Snowman Of The Himalayas with Peter Cushing and Forrest Tucker and Snow Beast with Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux. There are a lot of stories of these creatures that have persisted for years. Cryptozoologists have placed all manner of surveillance technology all over the areas where a cryptid was discovered.
I guess that area near Mount St. Helen’s no longer exists after the 1980 eruption.
If someone dared me to spend a night in a ranger cabin or lookout tower, I wouldn’t take the bet. Even if I was well armed.
Some things are meant to be left alone.
Wtf. I was already subscribed to this channel. I used to listen to this channel b4 the rona hit. Why am I not subbed to it anymore? Wtf.
Call me sceptical but parts of this tale reminds me of the fictional film What waits below (1984).
bigfoot looks like the undertaker. i'm sorry.
I was frightened to hear these stories in the beginning.. but now it became somewhat an obsession..
Pangea..?
Local youths: "It was a prank by us"
Drunk miners : "No it was interdimensional giants"
Thanks to Mr. Ballen I found this page. These stories are so good. Love the content already
Nice
"Battle of Ape Canyon"- my new hardcore band's name.
If this is true, then why isn't it in CNN.? ? ?
Excellent illustration!
I heard about this incident from a book that was a collection of 3 or 4 Bigfoot related stories in comic form this was the last story in the book, the others involved the yeti skull cap that went missing and a Chinese Bigfoot
Please do stories about train drivers!!
Random note: if anyone has seen cowboys vs aliens (i know not the best movie in the world) the way the aliens in that movie move is how i imagine Bigfoot(s) move.
This wonderful channel is my all-time favorite on YouTube! Anyone who watches their videos will understand why!.. Everything about them is Top HQ & professionally made. 💯
The creative limit of all native lore: it’s a spirit and imitates noises.
If they had twice as many men & weapons, five of the biggest dogs, a mule, bear and two elephants (all trained together), the ape men would had been completely destroyed.
I'm a believer in the possibility of an unknown great ape species. However, anytime Bigfoot gets thrown in with UFO's, aliens or being interdimensional begins with super natural powers, you lose me.
Very probable they were drunk. Five men alone in mountains? Only alcohol could save them from boredom in those times. Also i would like to hear the original story. This one is probably heavily modified.
A case of humans and apes interbred by some old-school wacked out scientist? I think so 🥴 there goes your explanation of Sascwatch
I've got admit that this battle with bigfoot like entertys has me a little skeptical but I tend to believe that the evidence speaks for itself.
I have lived in the UK for my birth to now and the one that has always continued to astound me is ghostly encounter like those in the tower of London or the Hinchingbrooke House.
