Albert Ostman

Well, there is a couple of stories.

One of, oh, Albert Ostman.

Whoa.

Up in Canada.

Another fact to take into consideration is how many reports of people being abducted by Bigfoot we've come across in the years we've been bringing things like this to you on this channel, and even more so just in researching for this video alone.

For example, there's a man named Albert Ostman who claims that in 1924, he was out camping and was abducted by a Bigfoot while asleep in his sleeping bag.

Albert claimed the creature grabbed him, sleeping bag and all, and carried him off as he slept.

According to his version of events, he was on vacation at Toba Inland, British Columbia, Canada and camping in some very rugged and dense wilderness.

Being that it was still pitch black outside and even if he did have a flashlight handy he would have been reluctant to use it, he could only make out some shapes and sounds.

none of which were in the least bit familiar to him.

He saw the outlined but distinct shapes of several large humanoid creatures and could hear them chattering to each other in some sort of unintelligible language not recognized by Albert Ostman.

He did immediately make the connection from what he was seeing, hearing and overall experiencing that he was now in the company of a semi-large family of the hairy hominid creatures he was warned about at the beginning of his trip by his guide.

Okay.

Albert Ostman.

So this happened in British Columbia, Canada.

Um, and this report came from...

Yes, in 1957.

So here's the account.

Swedish-born prospector Albert Ostman was camping deep in the British Columbia wilderness when he noticed minor items disappearing from his camp each night.

Okay.

So for Sasquatches, like, how scary would it be if they started like, okay, gathering herds, not herds, packs of coyotes, you know? [laughs] Then like wielding them as, as like, uh, warriors or bears or something like that.

I guess this kind of thing would give, you know, a certain interpretation to the Albert Ostman story.

If that story is true, then maybe it was one of these instances of like, "Oh, hey, look at this little cute thing.

I'm sure the wife and kids will enjoy this."

Yeah.

They, you never want a pet...

Be- number one, they could shoot at you like Albert Ostman did at the Sasquatches.

Um, but you know, like, the, I think in, in our case, we're talking about raccoons as pets.

And the only exam- like, the best example I can give right now for people that have haven't seen it, it's called, it's one of the episodes of Bigfoot Beyond the Trail that Alexander Petakov did, which was the venture into Toba Inlet.

And this is, the, Toba Inlet is where Albert Ostman claims that he was abducted by Sasquatch.

And Alex-

Right

And it took, it always takes me right back to 1968, uh, when we lived on the Puyallup river and, and it kind of helps sometimes to reexamine things.

So, uh, In the light of re-examining things, we talked about, in the midweek show, for those who listened to it, the Albert Ostman story.

And Tom and I had done a bunch of research on sleeping bags.

And aside from the fact that Rene DeHinden told me the story he felt was made up because the details kept changing year after year, and not just the details, there were major portions of the story, but because Osterman himself, when asked by John Green, stated that he wouldn't testify to the details of the story.

Another fact to take into consideration is how many reports of people being abducted by Bigfoot we've come across in the years we've been bringing things like this to you on this channel, and even more so just in researching for this video alone.

For example, there's a man named Albert Ostman who claims that in 1924 he was out camping and was abducted by a Bigfoot while asleep in his sleeping bag.

Albert claimed the creature grabbed him, sleeping bag and all, and carried him off as he slept.

According to his version of events, he was on vacation at Toba Inlet, British Columbia, Canada, and camping in some very rugged and dense wilderness.

He too was on a sort of quest, as he had gone to this particular area in order to try and find an alleged long-lost gold mine he was convinced was located in the general vicinity of where he set up his camp.

He had what he described as an Indian guide with him, and this guide allegedly informed him that the last person to have found this mysterious gold mine had in fact been abducted and killed by a Sasquatch and that he needed to be extra careful and keep his guard up.

According to Albert, this was the first time he had ever even heard of such a creature, and he didn't believe in the legend at all.

He basically chalked it up to crazy old native folklore.

Anyway, I think it would be tough for them to continue to survive if they were really spread out.

Yeah, well, and let's throw in, remember we talked about Albert Ostman.

He was the guy in Teddy Roosevelt's book, I believe.

And apparently when he was abducted by Bigfoot, he was forced

Yeah.

But I, it's, it, your, your encounter is very, it, it's a nice line between the, uh, you know, terrifying, earth-shattering, the Bigfoot came out and, you know, abducted me like Albert Ostman.

It, it-

Oh, yeah
