The Infamous Ape Canyon Incident
In July 1924, a group of five miners experienced a terrifying encounter with multiple large, hair-covered creatures while working near their cabin in Ape Canyon, located on the slopes of Mount St. Helens. After having heard strange sounds and seeing odd footprints, they initially tried to dismiss their fears but soon faced a full-blown attack. On July 10, as the miners were in their cabin, the creatures attacked by throwing rocks and boulders, which terrorized the miners into barricading themselves for the night. The next morning, evidence of their encounter appeared in the form of large footprints and scattered debris around the cabin, solidifying the miners' claims of the bizarre events they had witnessed.
