The Ape Canyon Bigfoot attacks are one of the most famous Cryptozoological events. The encounter happened in 1924, two miles east of Mt. St. Helens, in a canyon now dubbed Ape Canyon. Five miners were asleep in their cabin the night that it happened. They awoke abruptly to crashing noises, seemingly out of nowhere, as rocks began pelting the building. The Sasquatch-like beings they encountered were said to be at least seven feet tall, covering in black/brown hair. The miners stirred from their beds, took up their rifles, and began firing into the directions the rocks were coming from. One of the miners, Fred Beck, claimed to have hit an attacking Bigfoot as he fired his rifle.

“It was not long before I saw one of the apelike creatures, standing about eighty yards away near the edge of Ape Canyon. I shot three times, and it toppled over the cliff, down into the gorge, some four hundred feet below.”

The miners fled soon after the attack resolved, not bothering to pack their equipment or supplies. All they took were items they could carry on their backs.

Im kinda surprised I've never heard of this before, I did a little research on it, it's an interesting read. Thank you for posting it.

I would like to find this place and see what I could dig up

I've seen several reenactments of this event. I wish Bigfoot was real. It would be really interesting. I just think the possibility is close to 0.

There are Bigfoot sightings on 2 farms touching mine. There's lots of Bigfoot sightings in my area. I see black bears here fairly often. For some reason, many people see a bear and immediately jump to thinking they saw Bigfoot, even when the behavior they describe seeing is bear like.
