Anyone want to hear a story The people mentioned in this video The Michelin family are my family from years ago all dead now obviously My great great grandfather was one of The people that actually seen it but anyway this is not The holestory there's actually alot more what happened like The thing would eat there dogs food and do alot of crazy unbelievable things like humans etc Plus the kid mentioned was my great great great Aunt and yes I have evidence these people were my family
It seems like a very credible sighting, I don't doubt that it happened. Were there ever any similar sightings in the area in later generations?
@@AndrewSmith-rp6ee yes one man I think in The 70's was driving not close to it but at least 2 to 4 hours away give it roughly and seen one at least thats what he thinks I have no idea if its true or not though
@@AndrewSmith-rp6ee another fact that was not mentioned there were than just 1 they were like a human family but more apelike like you hear in other stories and the one mentioned in the video would also always try to lure the kids to it and watch them but they always ran away back to their cabin and told their mom and their dogs would get scared and when they did have their dogs tied up to a post they always barked at them and sometimes scared it back into the woods but like the video mentioned it also forced their dogs into the river
@@myles3856 Amazing, that would be terrifying. I had an encounter in northern Ontario in the '90s. I didn't see it, but could hear it at night near my cabin, very remote area. It was tearing up trees, throwing huge rocks against trees, things that a bear or a person couldn't do, clearly trying to intimidate.
@@AndrewSmith-rp6ee cool
Narrator has a very subtle accent and very calming voice, great delivery and timing... Perfect voice for these stories!
I really want someone to explain something to me. Twice in my life I have met people who have seen these creatures. The first back in about 85 was a lady in her 80s in the Basque region of Spain who described a creature the believed lived in the woods called a "Basajourn" which she had seen as a child. The second was a Cambodian farmer who had had several encounters with something they call a "Tak Tak". Both knew nothing of big foot or its description. Neither had Internet access or had read books yet both were undoubtedly describing the same thing. Both even made the same face when describing the stench. If it's a lie, a complete myth how do people who have no contact with each other all over the globe all through history describe the exact same physical and behavioral characteristics? What are the odds?
Well mate, you seem to have had an interesting life so far!.
@@BitPeko I work in a small library now. It can't get much more tedious I promise you.
Because they are real.
The question is basically rhetorical and a loaded statement, in saying that; most of textbook history is bullshit with an agenda to keep us plugged into there systems. Check out a vid called 'bauple mountain yowie'.
@@danielsvision Will do.
Best channel I’ve found in a long time
The story was interesting.......but in all honesty, the beautiful Bibi sealed the deal on my subscription!! 😉
Lady doing the intro is beyond beautiful 😍😍😍
but cant pronounce Newfoundland worth a crap
Irrespective of how ‘scary’ the stories are, I could listen to this beautiful woman all night and still fall asleep happy. Glad I subscribed. Thanks.
I lived in Hopedale in 1963 which is about 130 miles north of this and never heard these stories. We did have a few run ins with bears. One was a polar bear that surprised the cook when he went out to dump the grease.
What scared us were the natives dogs that were crossbred with wolves.
Oh man! Those by far are a greater risk!
Dorezwolf ate my 140 pds Labrador
If you were in North West River you would have heard it. its old, plus stories of it happening in Sabeskachu area near NWR.
Another excellent contribution to the folklore and history of Canada--second largest country on Earth, but largely unknown--even to its residents.
Another great video. This channel is one of my favorites!
I find the old encounter publications in newspapers and such pretty fascinating as they didn't necessarily have much of an agenda back then,, pretty straight forward folks....
locals also werent as educated as they are now, was frontier living back then (this was before the area joined Canada in 1949) and today has only 30000ish for 113000 square miles (population then was maybe 22k), you lived near your trapline or near where you fished (there are towns along the coast but inland there's a half dozen total, and the one with 10000 people had just started up a half dozen years before). im a Michelin from the area, Traverspine (we say 'travis-pin') is a family trapline, there were many in the area but some are now submerged from when the Churchill Falls Hydro Project happened (i had great uncles lose traplines to it). So these people were mainly mixed settler/indigenous living in homesteads not towns (some cabin areas where people go to recreationally in the area are former homesteads and can have 3-5 cabins there but are really old houses, only get to them by boat or snowmobile today. My dad would trap and work as a heavy equipment operator at the nearby airbase plus summertimes would pack us up to fish atlantic salmon commercially (7 hour ride in a 19 -21 ft open boat on the lake going to the summer home). There can also be a mix of old indigenous stories mixed in.
Lovely host, great story. What's not to like.
This is an excellent channel. I find myself watching videos that I've already watched because they're so interesting and well done. I learn something new with every viewing. I'm going to get some of your books. I bet they are great. They would be great audio books if you do the reading.
Love your work Hammerson..... Please never stop...
Another stellar telling of a classic Sasquatch story...Keep it up Brother....Well done Sir...
Awesome stuff just wish it was more and longer lol. Thanks so much for all your doing
0:47 at the time Labrador was a part of The Dominion Of Newfoundland, it was two more years before we would join Canada. Also im from the town where the footage of 0:00 - 0:06 comes from. As well, the family name Michelin (im one from the area you're discussing in the video, Traverspine (locals pronounce it 'travis-pin', btw) is pronounced as you hear it in any of the Michelin Tire advertisements. Traverspine was a family trapping area, as the main profession was fur trapping as opposed to fishing, although some would do both and sometimes have summer and winter homes for the two seasons (Hudson's Bay Company started my hometown of North West River as Ft Smith before the territory was signed to Great Britain from The French in the Treaty Of Paris. the Michelin family that i belong to came as voyageurs years before from what is now Trois Rivieres Quebec.
I enjoyed the story, butt that woman at the end was quite delightful. 🥰💋💕
@nick sweeney how could they be?
Sounds like a good area for more investigations - great program - thanks.
Oooh! The lady in opening has a wonderful speaking voice! Really hope to see more of her.
me too !
Great stuff, I New a family used to live there early 70’s they had the same issues with this creature coming around there cabin and kids and there still alive today and friends of mine
Just gonna come out and say BiBi Lucille , you are amazingly beautiful. ♡
Canadian explorer Adam Shoalts has a new book on this: The Whisper on the Night Wind: The True History of a Wilderness Legend.
Great read, and they camped at the remote Traverspine. A two story house is still standing, long abandoned. (there's a photo in the book)
Thankyou very much Bibi ! and you are a very beautiful young señorita
We need more channels like this! Or daily videos!! Or BOTH!!
Thank you, really enjoyed this.
Could you have Bibi Lucille narrate all the time?😍😍😍😍
What a beautiful young lady! Love the accent.
Another great video!
Toonijuk were probably Vikings
Interesting🤔 Good thinking
I had the same thought
Surviving Neanderthals or Denisovans.
I've watched a UFO land
By my house. But no big foot encounters yet.
Chestnut ridge is close to me.
Yep Stan GORDON was at my property
Pennsylvania is the epicenter of weirdness.
Loved the story
Quite a tale, but I ain't havin' Nunavut!
Icy what you did there!
Wow! Bibi is a knockout!
Bowhunter here.. I believe people when they say they saw something but the biologist in me kinda wonders.. How could a large primate have enough quality food in a landscape where trees dont grow over 10 feet and there is so little biomass compared to a tropical forest..
If a Polar bear and Black bear and large Walruses, Moose and Reindeer find enough food in those barren landscapes why couldn't a large primate? Your logic doesn't make sense.
@@fonhollohan2908 All those animals manufacture their own ascorbic acid.. Show me one primate who lives above 45 degrees North. The Japanese Maquakes are the only primate I know that can handle winter but they are small and wouldn't require the 5000-6000 calories a day, a bigfoot would.. So yeah, my logic is pretty sound..
@@Skelstoolbox You think they could have evolved to become similar to bears?
@@BitPeko No primate can hibernate and even the bears that do, it's still no more than 100 days or so. If you've ever flown over Labrador, it's very scant and sparse with the tree cover. You could spot a bigfoot against the snow cover from a mile away in the air..
@@Skelstoolbox thanks for the quick answer.
There go my hopes for the existence of that primate lol.
I'm South American I have never been to Canada, I just like to watch about North American Folklore.
Dang Sasquatch outwitting all those Newfies.
😂 😂
With it's hands tied behind it's back as well.
Correction: Labradorians....and it sounded like they killed it lol. Carry on
@@sherrygood1048 If your on the East coast and a gorilla outsmarted you than you are a NEWFIE! Its in the Canadian constitution.
Thank you for the video, I love your voice.
Cant be a coincidence that all natives from north America have stories of giant.
I agree with everyone commenting on Bibi as she is a very gorgeous presenter. Having viewed a large number of videos on the subject, and listening to many more (every channel calls their audio recordings as video for unknown reasons) I think I like this format as it seems to combine good content with smooth flow, starting smartly with beautiful eyes that grab every viewer's attention.
Even wiser to do was incorporate an exit shot of their pretty young lady to once again catch the viewer's attention.
Aspiring careerists in becoming CZcams creators and influencers should take note and follow along to see how quickly they grow their channel.
Creepy. Well done
My god that girl was amazingly beautiful 😻
That was my grandmother. Her name was Cladys.
i like your channel really peace from france
So much truth but so much criticism
I personally believe it was one of the first sightings of a moose, that was not common in that part of labrador back then and the local people had never seen one, since that time the moose have become more commen, i saw my first one in labrador in 1975.
Great story's, and a pretty girl. What could be better. But always remember never go gently into the good night ✌️
Thank you Hammerson exerlent content as ever .........pls whats happened to your oak island reviews weve not had one for a while.....stay safe and well
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Season 8 is a real let-down, in my opinion. I'm sure the show's decrease in quality due to the virus' impact on the 2020 treasure hunt. Interest in my Oak Island reviews seemed to be plummeting, and so I decided to take a break with the videos for the time being. I might get back into it if things get interesting again.
@@HammersonPeters As a fan of your reviews im a little lost without them as i no longer have the appilty to watch the show but i get your point theres not alot going on this season......Hammerson i love your art for oak island any chance you could give some away!!
@@neilhannay7596 I'd never thought of that. What do you mean, exactly?
@@HammersonPeters some of the illustration you make for your oak island reviews and your takes of the outback are great i myself would love a copy of the "lead cross" and the Knights Templar . I would gladly let them grace my wall. Ive been a follower of your channel for while and seen alot of your illustrations there very good. Maybe you could send me some?
@@neilhannay7596 As a general rule, I don't give away things for free except in promotional giveaways. If you're interested, though, I could upload some of my artwork to a print-on-demand site, and you could order what you like off of there. Would you be interested in something like that?
Since these things are so strong and stealthy, I don't understand why they aren't top of the food chain. It was mentioned that the Toonijuk were hunted by the Inuit...wouldn't the Toonijuk be the hunter?
Bob Gymlan has a good channel also.
That he doe's bro!
Bibi Lucille is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
Oh yeah, great video. 👍
All I can remember is hearing Dream Weaver start playing and everything after is a blank
Charming presenter
Bibi. Wow. Just wow.
Would say they've beer sighted long before 1930s, indigenous have oral tradition for hundreds of yrs describing creature encounters that are chillingly similar.
Majestic place
Awesome video!
Amazing voice u have
Ogopogo! 4:48
Good story
3:26 center lft side of falls is an eyeto the lft is a flat rock with a head sticking out the backin front of that is a eye on the back of a rock
Anyone here from “Mysterious Universe”?
I still say if there were all these versions of larger animals than today's, we shouldn't be any different. Science says no but I say maybe!
Good stuff
Good story, I got most all my binge watching Sasquach answers from TeamSquachinUsa, check out Dr. Johnson and the Zanue led by Zorth, happy bingeing!
That's it!?? The story was just getting good!! ☹️
Dang who’s the babe!?!
Personally, i have no problem accepting this, similar accounts & especially indigenous histories as either containing facts or being actual facts as having an interest in the historical record its obvious to myself that several theoretical narratives, including those related to what & when things existed, that are presented & taught as facts are so far from the recorded data as to make one wonder if so called 'experts' focused entirely upon one field of study lose touch with reality when engaging upon flights of theoretical fancy...
So.... go do a bit of historical reading for yourself. There are so many recorded accounts out there from the days of old. In California there was a pretty good sized mine that was closed down after one of the miners shot and kill one. Afterwards a band of Bigfoot surrounded their cookhouse and pelted it with huge rocks for about 20 minutes! The mine closed and the reason why is in the county records to this day. I believe it was near Jamestown, California. Many many strange things happened throughout the Motherload country.
@@mgwgeneral6467 Eh? I have & more than just a bit thanks, that's why i'm aware of the wealth of material regarding the phenomena & the validity of the accounts.
However, it's clear from your comment you've misunderstood my comment & got hold of the wrong end of the stick....perhaps try reading again.
I was subd but CZcams seemed to unsub me
cha cha cha -- stop.... HAMMER TIME
People sometimes call me a wild man.
What is that music? I know that I've heard that before but I can't place it and it's driving me crazy.
I made all the music myself. You must have heard it in another of my videos.
Good video, but as someone who's a part of the Michelin family, hearing the way he pronounces Michelin is pretty funny lol.
Sorry about that. How is it pronounced?
@@HammersonPeters like the Michelin Tires...not Mitchelin
Seems like you might beable to find stuff i have missed. So was wondering if maybe you can do a video on large snakes Encountered in British Columbia i haven't been able to find much info but appearently there was a Rothschild that was a explorer who went missing exploring The Congo. But shortly before he disappeared did some exploring in the back Mountains of British Columbia and encountered a giant Snake he described as a massive 20-30ft anaconda like Snake. Looking at BC there is a Possibility that creatures like this could exist without us noticing and adding the accounts of missing people and the ammout of unexplored land i feel like there would be allot more legends about such but haven't seen much besides river or lake Serpents.
You will not fine a snake over two feet long in canada. The temperature does not allow for them to grow properly.
Lets play 'English or Australian'
Where is Saku?
Those dang Sassy Squatches!!!
Who is the girl?
😍
Enjoy!
~ 5:13 “Mrs. Michelin stormed out of the house, shotgun in hand [...] she fired a shot at the underbrush and heard a meaty thud” huh, I ain’t never heard shotgun shot make a thud sound when hitting anything, was she using slugs?? How far away was the beast at that point? In order to be able to distinguish between the report of the shotgun and the impact of her munitions, it would have had to have been a shot beyond 20 to 30 yards, and at that range, I don’t think you can hear shotgun pellets hitting “meat” haha. Maybe she had slugs. We can give her the benefit of the doubt. Just seems like an odd detail to add to the story
dunno what to say except im from the area and this was cousins of my dads family, and slugs were kept on hand for defense against bears etc while the man was gone on the traplines. Labrador women many times (back then) looked after the children while the men were on the fur trapping line, and would trade them to the Hudson's Bay Company in North West River. I have family who still fur trap here today, and sell off to North American as the agency handling furs now. many times in the summer the family would relocate to a summer home if their winter one was inland, and the summer home would be a Fishing station (dad's family would go to the coast near Rigolet to fish Atlantic Salmon or Indian Harbour for cod).
Caves and extreme landscape perfect spot to stay secluded from us true believer here and yet again 7 to 71/2 feet tall to many descriptions to all be fake reports
No more about the body she shot ? Surely they looked for the bodybody
Bibi Lucille...she looks familiar...I've seen from something else on CZcams...
Holy crap...I figured it out! She's Lara from 'I AM SOPHIE'!
As a writer and avid CZcams watcher, I just got to say that switching back and forth from different speakers pulls away from the overall effect and presentation of the video imo.
If there is a cause for the switch, story change, mood change etc., then it might possibly work, yet the transitions should be smoother. I am speaking of 'flow' here, without sensitivities to the overall flow, most of the dialog, if not all is lost imo. It ends up being too distracting for the listener which in turn drains the overall effect of the content.
Narrator is AI for sure, anyone who has seen a commercial knows how to pronounce Michelin as well (and im from the area, we pronounce it like the commercials). Also local pronunciation of Traverspine is 'Travis-Pin', and its closer to the Mealy Mountains vs the Torngats which are much further north in Nunatsiavut (Traverspine is in more traditionally Innu lands, The Innu Nation are the local 'indian' nation and some are up into the north around the Torngat mountains).
Did she say Labrador?
I'd like to
The sexiest host i have ever seen! Im in luv...
I really appreciate hammerson's voice in a CZcams world of ego maniacs. I'm glad he likes women, but I can't stand any of their voices that I've heard so far.
I absolutely love ur voice. You could read me the phone book and I would be happy 👍
Your beautiful!
Thanks, Duane. I don't hear that often enough.
@@j74s98 your welcome! Just stating a fact! You should hear it all the time!
We don’t have Inuit in Alaska 🤷♂️. Like Foreal , we have alutiq , Aleut and yu’pik Eskimo’s. No Inuit though.
Inupiaq?
Hammerson Peters that’s not Inuit though. Greenland and Canada have Inuit though.
they are all considered Inuit, same as Greenlanders and Yupik. Im of Nunatsiavut (inuit) in Labrador and extended family to the Mrs Michelin in the story. You just dont say 'inuit' because in Labrador the Inuit speak Inutitut (in Nunavut they speak Inuktitut). But we are the same people but of a different name, as we spread the language changed. Labrador Inuit have two dialects and one has 38 bravarian loan words, and the other is the Rigolet dialect which is pure but barely anyone is left who speaks it.
support the channel hahahaha you have enough ads to do that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will never come here again !!!

@nick sweeney lol !!! No problem Nick You may be Canadian, but just like myself, You have an Irish name and sense of humor!!!☘☘☘
Now that's a hawt visual - I'm very aroused.
best part is locals pronounce it Travis-Pin (im a local, no longer living in the area) and yes, the Mrs Michelin with the shotgun i think was a great aunt of mine.
Get the hell outta here with the science fiction, but the Hostess can stay !!! ☘
This is not science fiction, my mom saw a sasquatch here in the Appalachia where we live.
