Something or someone is braiding horse's manes, tails, and American flags. It's not the wind, and Harriet McFeely tells us why in one of the more epic Bigfoot-related stories we've ever heard. You won't want to miss this one! - Zábava
In a world full of social media 30 sec digital nonsense, it refreshing to listen to someone tell an actual story that's interesting.. call me old-fashioned but i could listen to Harriet all day ☺️👣
And I bet she could talk the whole day too!
@@beeb6809I had a smile on my face bc of her ability to tell a long story short ( lol ) but the comment about it being nice to hear a story told . I chuckled and 1,000 % agreed .. she's something special and I have a feeling Sabe feels the same , after all they blessed her with a book and means to keep a business going .. GOD BLESS, n Harriett You're a hoot ! good job
What a wonderful lady and interesting flag phenomenon with our bf friends showing their braiding skills.
We have had the privilege of meeting Harriet and going to her museum. When we arrived she said she knew we were coming. She asked where we were from and she said that the river we live near was a place where bigfoot lives. She is a true piece of Americana. Was a fun afternoon to spend with Harriet and hear her stories.
This story takes Sasquatch mystery to a whole new level. This topic is incredibly intriguing!!
You said it! InInInTriGuing!!!
I think she's wonderful, I love and admire a fellow weirdo 😂 Weirdos unite!!
I ❤ H !
We are good, aren’t we?
Some !
I still ❤ H !
My husband’s grandmother had four boys that all went to World War II and they all came back home. That was quite a miracle. Jack Emmott, Hewitt Emmott, Donald Emmott, and Robert Emmott.
Wow!! American heroes!
They would be his uncles. What in the hell does that have to do with this video?
If you watch the whole video Harriett talks about the American Flag and men who served in WW2.
@@jeffcoker734 It takes her a while, but she gets the point that she is now collecting the flags that these heroes have given her...and they are braided.
God blessed them. Heros!
One of my teachers always said. When someone says something is weird or someone is weird it just means they don’t understand that subject or person. The unknown is usually feared. But those that understand more are never offended by being called weird, because they know ignorance is bliss and that this world is more frightening if they knew the truth. Celebrate the weirdo’s because they carry more then you’ll ever know. Thank you Harriett for sharing your stories and knowledge.
What a great storyteller! She tells a story the way my Aunt did, captivating till the end.
Lovely story from a lovely woman, with all the modern technology it’s still heart warming to hear a story told so well, we have lost this art of words written and spoken and we have lost also the patience to listen intently to one another
I think we’ve become better writers because electronics make it easier.
Braiding horses is common in the Brazilian countryside, it's attributed to a trickster sort of one-legged spirit from the forest called Saci
It’s horse rubbing their necks and the mane gets twisted. I’ve seen it many times.
@@sidilicious11 I grew up around horses and saw some knots like that but never braids...and that would not make sense for the tails. It is interesting that Canada has a lot of folk tales about fairies that braid horses tails as well. I'm not saying it is bigfoot, I just think it is interesting.
There are encounters of Sasquatches breeding with cows but who really knows. Maybe it's a way for them to control the horses. The Earth and universe is so mysterious.
The ramifications of this story are manifold regarding the Sasquatch people, and what they do to relate to us humans. The flag braiding seems done in honor. The horse braiding, shared reverence for the horse? I believe First Nations people would have more meaningful opinions than mine on the "meaning". Their triune braid knowledge of the Sasquatch was revelatory to me. In the least, braiding is obviously a Sasquatch sign of respect.
Harriet has a good memory with much information, a great storyteller and a "people" person. A lover of Sasquatch it seems: She's a jewel. Thank you for finding and interviewing her here. People like her and others you interview, there is perhaps nowhere else such would be available to the public. I doubt corporate media would produce what you do here. Thank You!!!
Not to sidestep the interviewee but the content has revealed new levels of understanding for me of the Sasquatch people that is incredible, amazing, etc. The timing of the braiding events is just one example. The 1917 U.S. Capital flag braiding was three years into World War 1 which ended a year later. The braided flag that Harriet now has, it was flown on Veterans Days and Memorial Days. Sasquatch honoring U.S. citizens having been killed in war fighting for their country seems obvious and sincere.
My U.S. government doesn't even admit the Sasquatch people exist but yet the Sasquatch people themselves honor our fallen citizen-soldiers! Like the First Nations people, their land was taken in order to form the U.S. nation: They yet honor U.S. fallen veterans. Such seems an example of why the First Nations people use Sasquatch/ Sabe to teach respect and honesty in their Teachings of the Seven Grandfathers.
There's more I want to know about how the Sasquatch people want and do relate to we humans. Harriet wonderfully wove that braided story of great information - honoring pun intended 😁
They do admit it now! If you go to the national Park service website, they have a whole page on Sasquatch and how they have not admitted their existence due to wanting to respect their privacy. I believe that is an admission…
@Seeking treasures. Forgive me, but how do you know, that Sabe people honors your dead soldiers??.. you make no sense!
Don't forget they have been living in these Lands wayyyy! Before any humans! And they have seen the horrors of white man did to natives!
Maybe the flag braids is just a way to say...DON'T FORGET THIS IS OUR LAND TOO!! 😁
@@chalillo2268The dead soldiers are not my solders, they are people who sacrificed their lives for their family, friends and nation. I completely agree that Sasquatch has seen how horrible humanity can be to humanity. I also agree that they are reminding our nation that they too live here.
I don't think I am the only one it makes sense to that Sasquatch takes a higher road than humanity does when it comes to respect for life.
@@skr8674 I could not find anything like that at US National Parks. At US Forest Service I did find a seeming admission of existence and concern for them - Loss of space threatening North American Sasquatch: www.fs.usda.gov/features/loss-space-threatening-north-american-sasquatch
Very enjoyable interview with such an engaging character. Lovely Lady!
I agree with others. I must be an "old soul". But i've ALWAYS appreciated elderly folks telling me their stories. It's a part of history they are describing. And it may take them a long time in getting to the climax or moral if their is one. But it's so worth listening to every part of it until they are finished. Because of the various inflections of their voices in certain parts when they are conveying it. You can tell how much it means to them. Well done.
Excellent job Miss Harriet.Thank you
Such a beautiful story and person. the Sasquatch people obviously want to remind us that they are sharing the nation and the land and want to show that they are part of the history. I hope we will find a way to reconcile. May be they feel it is time to all come together. Sasquatch seem to love connecting with people and communities emanating a feeling of love, respect and peace. Love to Harriet ! hope to meet you one day,
Not the ones in Alaska! 😂😂😂
How do you reach this conclusion?
@@digger9970 Depending on which site you visit you hear some stories about BF who show no malice toward people and are compatible. Then other sites have terrifying stories but with no physical harm. I think they know your intentions and according to your reactions is what you get back from them. I'm guessing Nomura listens to more good stories than not and comes to this understanding. Just a guess but I'm with her. Give peace and harmony a chance. Enough of killing one another.
After 15 minutes of the story. I thought where is this going?. So great full I have patience cuz it was worth the listen.🧨🧨
One of the best programs! So interesting! I want to plan a trip to this museum.
Yes, please do! It's an astounding place, and Harriett would love to see you! It's in Hastings, Nebraska, not far from Grand Island, about 20 miles off Interstate 80.
Fascinating story, patiently told. Enjoyed that.
Glad you enjoyed it
You guys just keep delivering. Good job!
Thank you- but it’s the witnesses that deliver! There are so many stories to share!
@@aflashofbigfoot True, but if it wasn't for you guys, how would we know!
This was the most fascinating interview. I am so glad that I watched it. The Forest People are reaching out to us! ❤
What a beautiful story!!
This sweet lady has had me mesmerized with her story! Perfect person to be telling a story 😊 I got chills when I heard the 1917 story! Crazy
We totally agree!
Wow! I haven’t even viewed yet but I’m smashing the like button!
Now that’s what I’m talking about! In a “ flash” , the “beauty” returns!
Your amazing, i share!
Thank you!
This is amazing. Harriet, thank you so much. I was captivated beyond belief. Bless you...a glimpse into other dimensions!
Wow that was very interesting . Thanks Harriet & thanks A flash of beauty . ❤️ The channel .keep up the great work. Subscribed & thumbs up from Australia 👍
I really like and appreciate these interviews that all of the different people give in this series!
This particular one that Ms. Harriet is sharing has kept me fascinated and eager to hear more!! Absolutely a gem!! Thank You Ms.Harriet! Thank You to everyone wo has contributed to all of the videos in the A FLASH of BEAUTY Series! Simply excellent!! 😊👌💯
This is what makes America great. A more beautiful lady is seldom seen. God Bless you and your like- minded from Norway
Harriet! You sure know how to capture an audience!God willing, I will visit your museum one day!
I love the detail in this story what an amazing detective she is.
Love that you took the time to tell this story, thank you, i love how strong you are.
Oh what a story! Love her… Harriet did such a good job telling it. That horse braid.. never seen one like that. Two and one in the middle. I didn’t want this vid to end. More please!😊
Thank you…
For those negative comments.. 🥱👎
That is an excellent telling of something that happened that was just hiding in plain sight and has been done before , Lord you can't make this stuff up LOL
Fantastic documentation of American history!! Thank you Harriett and AFOB team!
Great interview! I love this lady.
Wow. Speechless. It took awhile, and I wondered where she was going with the story, and then BOOM.
“When you have 54 people in town, everyone is your cousin” -Harriett 😂
Great story. Was wondering how the flag and little town tied into all this, but like a good story teller, Harriett gives lots of context and drops the shocking moment at the right time.
The lost art of "spinning yarn". Refreshing & delightful story telling. Thank you.😊
I thoroughly enjoy the content on this channel. Thank you.
I could hear Harriett speak all day long as this subject is so fascinating, I have dozens of photos of braided horses from 3 diferent countries in south west Europe were I do my research.
Spain and Portugal?
@@boa1793 and France
What a great story. Thank you.
Interesting, reminds me of the braid on Patty's hair 😮
Wow!! What a fascinating story, told by an amazing story teller. Thank you Flash of Beauty and Harriett!
MK Davis discusses Patty possibly having braids in one of his videos.
This beautiful woman is a amazing blessing to her
Harriett is a gem! And what a story! Wow!
She doesn’t seem weird to me
Me either
The Sabe, our neighbors, have their own meanings and opinions of what the Horse and Flag represents that they are sharing with us. The strength and weight of braids, loops and knots are just more glyphs that we can figure out, maybe duo meanings in the messages. This is their home too, and may take Meml Day and Horses to Heart. What do you think the number 3, the trinity, represents to you or to them? Why do we or they honor the death of soldiers? What does the Horse represent to them and to us? Maybe Horse is symbolic for Power. Braiding can be symbolic for Uniting. The Loop, the Circle of Life. The heavy knots maybe to weigh down the flag to prohibit it from flying in the wind, and why. Some people maybe have forgotten the true meaning of these things and that War is not the answer and maybe the way a lot of huemans honor the flag or the country or our planet isn't either. I don't think they meant disrespect. Gives us a chance at something substantial to think about.
When David Paulides did a serious look and study of the famous Patterson/Gimli film at Bluff Creek. He went through various filters that made it possible to see things in greater detail. He then points out that the crest or top part of her head wasn't from her skull being conical. Under a certain filter color you can plainly see she's wearing a braid.
So I absolutely believe sasquatch is braiding horses as practice for themselves. And I bet its being done by 99% female sasquatch.
There are some photos of a Sasquatch in Russia that have a small braid with a piece of colored fabric in it
Very cool watch!!
A flash of beauty is such a awesome podcast. Every episode is like you discovered a hidden treasure. A horse to many Native Americans is a very special animal. I started my bigfoot interest thinking nothing more than some type of ape. To a untrained eye these knots would be nothing more than a mess but each knot signifies a path to bind. A horse to most predators are food, for a sasquatch they would probably make a good meal. But they braid a living hair and the significance is everything. They have to be able to see the past and future and maybe transcend dimensions. I dont know what to think about braiding a flag because they are not just some simple ape doing some remedial work for temporary entertainment. These mean something these tell our future. Such a great story
What an awesome story by Harriet she's a great story teller.❤
In Europe they call those elf locks because according to folklore the little people rode and played with the horses at night.
Here in England, when horses manes seem to have been braided out of nowhere its often said its fairies or wisps. But theyre never ever as tight as some of these!
I love the music of this channel and the pacing.
Over the years I've had a couple horses that would get their manes braided quite tightly. Show sheen would always help me get the knots out. I always figured it was from wind and getting small sticks and briars in it. One filly I had, her tail was like a club. My dad worked on her for weeks getting it combed out.
My grueling, yet successful, chemical engineering career involving scientific cause-and-effect analysis on a daily basis for decades does NOTHING for me when it comes to this rock-hard braiding of horse hair and US flags. I am speechless. Gobsmacked. Dumbfounded. Brought to tears, even. WHAT THE ---- ?! You see, I am proud to be in the bigfoot knower camp. I've seen one. And I am very much up-to-date on the quantum physics/paranormal discussions going on with your group and others (Morehead, Franzoni, among many others) at the "high levels of the bigfoot phenomenon". Will I live long enough to learn about what you guys figure out on so many enigmas wrapped inside the ultimate earthly enigma? I certainly hope so. Guy L.
This is a much nicer story about why the bigfoot braid the horse's main.
Greetings from France! You guys are doing an amazing job with these testimonies and interviews. This is the third of your documentaries that I watch and I must say that I'm amazed by this one and his flag mistery that , Imquite sure, a few people know about. So thanks lot. A lot to think about...
yall are gonna hate me probably for saying this, but something tells me the male bigfoots are having, well, "relations" with these horses, and just winding chunks of their manes around while they do their "business".
I have heard this on a podcast years ago.
Same here....heard it too....maybe young males BF....also i believe they might be drinking their milk since like 90% are female horses....also remember hearing that a common factor was they had recently given birth. They can hold the braided loop on the mane and hold the mares leg/cannon bone/fetlock and feed while they keep it in place...just a theory....
It's my life's purpose to travel to the American northwest - they are pulling me there. And this is one place I will be sure to put in my itinerary!
This is actually in Hastings, Nebraska - stop in on your way up to the Northwest!
Where you from?...
I recall Arla and Thom Cantrall discussing Arabian horses being braided on their podcast. This was maybe close to15 years ago?
I also remember hearing somthing about Mares having their mane braided. Don't remember who was talking about it but they said it was bigfoot doing it. I think i remember another common thing is that they had recently given birth. On the show i also remember hearing them say that there was a possibility lewd acts were being done to these mares. No one seems to bring it up here in the comment section.
I read an account or two of that happening, too.
@@SaabAholic i also believe the might be drinking their milk...with one hand they can hold the loop braided on the mane...with the other hold the leg/cannon bone/fetlock and suckle on it's own.
@@SaabAholic Yup...I aslo think the BF might be drinking their milk.....they can use the braided loop on the mane to hold with one hand and the other hold the mares leg/cannon bone/fetlock and feed.....never know .
❤❤❤ I learned about a new aspect of Bigfoot’s art and spirituality.
🤠🤙🏼🇺🇸 What an amazing story!
Actually, native Americans claim, especially those from Canada, that the "little people" do this braiding.
Which could be true. Someone is doing it! It's not the wind. Harriett shows that. I truly wonder what the meaning behind it is.
Wow! That is a great story!!
What a hot ticket Harriet is! And what FABULOUS information she has to share! Jill said in a recent live that nothing surprises her anymore, and I'm the same way -- but this?!? The flag thing? I'm gobsmacked. What a great video. Much respect!
I've seen similar flag braids in New England. I always thought it was wind storms that caused it.
What what a great story an a dear sweet lady
Id never heard of the mane braiding before, I wonder what spiritual connection there is between the horses that doesn't exist between non domesticated animals e.g animals they eat as food in the forest ,because technically horses would make a nice meal for a Sasquatch . I personally think that horses are very special animals, maybe other animals do to ? Very interesting and something else to add to the mysterious sasquatch stories
Maybe they pray to the horse before they kill it like the natives do. It’s what we do when we say grace.
They are a tribe that evolved spiritually where as our tribe relied on technology to progress💫there is much that we need to learn from them💫thank you for the Lesson Boaz💫as above so below & on earth as it is in Heaven💚💚💚
I like that question, interesting.💫💙💫

@@Merkabah_Ascension we are two different beings. But our souls are the same. They can teach us things that we never knew, we never knew. Like physics. Thanks for your lessons Boaz💚🙊💚👽💚
@@chrisnichols9876 I agree, there are so many things we have et to understand. Thank you for sharing your story, I appreciate it!💜✨🗝🧬🔎🕯⏳
Wow! That’s amazing!!
This so very enlightening. I wanted her to maybe tell a story or two about the strange occurrences that were happening in Garrison . But, I guess I'll have to get her book to find out!
Such a good thing people noticed this. Especially her focus & collecting. They've made a solid knot. An open loop. A straight piece. And a braided piece. Sky, earth, man, woman, family? It means something to them special, to repeat it. A symbol. Maybe a sacred image to them?
How in the world do they get the horse 🐴🐎 to stand still while they braid the manes or the tail?
A very interesting phenomenon.
"I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time..." Grampa Simpson
The more I hear and learn about Sabe/Sasquatch the crazier it gets. I learn something new almost daily now.
astonished! thank you for telling the story.
I'm wondering are these wild horses or horses that are sent to pasture for spring and summer months? I find this so interesting, thank you.
Heard of this happening in Helen Georgia. I have a tree with the beginning of a braid in South Carolina
I'd like to hear a book audio reading by Harriet. I know it would miss the pictures, but if she did a video audio the puctures could be put in.
I liked the part in the flag room when Harriet hears clicking noises behind her and turns around.
Amazing :)
Fascinating !
Many thanks.
"Awesome"👍
Harriet awesome stories, Hope you write a BOOK of All your Visitors and Especially the Braiding Travelers around this World 🌎.
She has a kindred soul with astute dedication to a worthy cause of discovery. A mystery to search out. One we are on the pinnacle cuspid of.
We are fortunate to have her and others alike, to include this platform which we may glean a better understanding of. That we are not alone, we do walk among, perhaps the first and last earthlings. Those who shall re-inherit the earth from mankind if we fail to except their existence and change.
Thank you again for what many of us what consider “Discloser.”
On the Sasqauch Chronicles podcast I've heard about these houses hair being braided but never an a American Flag. Gives me something new to think about. Thank you
Lovely.. i read all the comments looking for a native americans wisdom on these braids!! Guess ill check back in a few weeks!! Thanks for capturing this mystery!!
Apparently Sabe were not invited to the festivities and wanted the town to know they need to be n the invite list next time. Obviously letting everyone know "We are here". Forensics could have a field day with those braids. Lovely Ladie! Blessings to her out there in Nebraska.
I wonder if that skull at 11.20 is real? Wow!
Fascinating accounts not least the one of a native man recognising the male - female braid with God in the middle! Frankly I'm not suprised, Sabe clearly have an enviable connection with Divinity from many stories. My take is simple in that Hunuman, lover of Lord Rama 5,000 BC, who had an army of simian like 'men' was doubtless Sabe and also is reported to have had the eight siddhi powers. We see evidence of this in accounts of Sabe or Sasquach the world over exhibiting these abilities.
What a treat this video is!
Gratitude.

💖🙏💫
Im gunna guess… no😂
I zoomed in on it and screen saved it. The big skull! So awesome! Like her! Incredible!
I want to see up close and examine that Sabe cranium!
She has all the proof in that tiny location.
How can one not simply adore her?!
Thank you all!
um ya cmon..im gonna guess another no on the skull being real
@@MikeBrodie-fz6gm The the real thing, Grover K had or someone probably has. Im just hoping it is maybe a replica of a real one. That is still something to behold and would tell us much.
@@archstanton3249 Im sure if grover k or someone had an actual skull the mystery would be solved wouldnt it?govmnt probably only ones that id bet have one
The stripes are braided and the field of stars is intact. Interesting. Found some interesting images when searching flags ruined by weather.
Thanks for sharing Harriett! Fascinating stories, love that you’re owning ‘weirdo’.. me too! 😊 every time I say to myself, ‘now I’ve heard it all’ when it comes to Bigfoot, I get another surprise. In this case, it’s the braids! Never heard they do that but it makes sense.
So wait, the horses stand there and LET sasquatch braid their hair?
Yes, this has me wondering too, because I thought horses were afraid of Sasquatches. Perhaps there is some way they can calm them enough to be able to braid their manes or tails. Does anybody know anything about this?
They..the Sabre..might use infrasound to "stun" or quiet the horses before they begin braiding.
On one of my comments I was asked to share some of my other experiences so I will share this one which was one of the most interesting and amazing telepathic experiences I’ve had. I was hunting in a remote area just north of Rocky Mountain House in Alberta Canada. It is an area that I know like the back of my hand from hunting, atv’ing, snowmobiling and camping in these areas for most of my life. I was in an area where there were many lease roads that all intertwined for hundreds of square kilometres in a remote area where there are no houses, or even main roads or campgrounds. It’s what we call crown land which no one can own privately but anyone can use for recreational purposes and the only thing is that oilfield companies have paid royalties to the government to drill and put up wells and they have built and maintain the roads themselves as government won’t pay to maintain. Anyways I was out by myself hunting in one area and I was about a 20 minute walk from the truck when I got the feeling of some kind of presence. Not an animal or anything like that but a presence from the non-physical or unseen realm. I stopped and looked around and then I asked what its purpose was. I got a telepathic response that told me to go to this specific lease and park my truck. Walk through a small path and onto the old cut line where at some point a company used for a seismic line. Then it gave me a vivid vision of a spot it told me to walk to and then I will see a white tall buck deer that will come out onto the cut line a short distance in front of me. So I walked back to my truck and then drove the 12-15 kilometres to the lease that I was told to go to, parked my truck and then continued to walk to and down the cut line until I saw the exact spot that I was shown in my vision. As I walked closer I heard a noise in the trees and exactly where I saw in the vision, out walked a white tail buck deer only about 40 yards away. I took a couple more steps as it walked fully onto the cut line and then it saw me and then just stood there. I heard the telepathic voice that I heard earlier tell me that is the deer that was for me and so I shot it and thanked the being for the information. I hunt for food and not for sport or trophy. I feel if I hunted for the other reasons that weren’t for food, that this being would not have made this happen for me. I cannot explain in terms that make sense to most of the people on earth about how this happened and how a significant of an experience this was for me. Knowing that when I was given the information, I was a good walk back to my truck, then had to drive 12-15 kilometres just to get to the lease road, take the time to get my stuff ready to down and dress the deer. Then it was at least a 5-7 minute walk from my truck to the spot on the cut line and then still after all that, the deer came out of the trees and into the cut line for a clear shot. I didn’t think there are enough numbers in this universe to make an accurate guess to the odds of all I had to do to get from the time and point that I got the message and vision and then to the place that I had to get to and it being the exact timing as I was told and shown. So many times I have said that whatever happens at any given moment to anyone, it is not a coincidence or random thing. This is only one out of thousands of instances that I could share but maybe for me it’s significant and anyone else might not see it as significant. Idk but one thing that I tell everyone is trust yourself no matter what the odds seem to be against the norm or what someone or everyone else says and you will always find your way. It may not be the life that your ego filled and brainwashed (by this I mean societal pressure to fit within the box that is considered to be the most current “factual reality”) tells you that life is suppressed to be. But I will promise you that if you let go of that false perception and stop running the rat race and just listen to whatever comes from within, I matter how obscure it might seem, that you will ALWAYS have what you need when you need it, you will be a lot happier and in turn you will eventually be less stressed, scared and you’ll never have another regret in your life. ❤
Great story!!!
She did a great job of proving that the braids were correlated with the previous flag. Also, with the horsetails and the other braids being similar,and the Native explanation but....how do we connect this to Big Foot? It still leaves that mysterious missing link you know? People can go crazy trying to prove it indefinitely. However, my husband saw Big Foot cross the Hwy!
she's amazing !!! I need to donate and visit the museum
Wow just wow. 😮
Thanks!
Thank you!! It's very much appreciated!!
Love this!
Best bed time story ever!!
As a horse owner I know what these are. This is a common condition caused by horses’ rubbing their necks on something and it twists the mane exactly like what’s in the photos (as far as I could see). I’ve seen it many times. I believe in Sasquatch, but I’m pretty skeptical that a horse would let a giant Sasquatch walk up to them and “braid” their manes. I couldn’t see the photo of the tail, unless it’s more than twists, and are actual braids, I don’t buy it.
These are in fact braids. The are tied, not twisted. They're tied very tight. Did you get to the part about the flags. The knots are the exact same and tied with the same strength. Human fingers can't undo these knots. The wind doesn't do this. Rubbing certainly couldn't do this. It's hard to believe but the physical evidence is there.
