Most Bigfoot encounters last seconds: a shadow in the trees, a footprint in the mud, a sound in the dark that makes you run. But the Albert Ostman Bigfoot story is different.

In 1924, Swedish-Canadian prospector Albert Ostman claimed he was kidnapped by a family of Sasquatch in the remote mountains of British Columbia and held captive for six days. Making it one of the strangest Bigfoot encounters ever recorded.

Not just one creature, but an entire Sasquatch family: a towering patriarch, a protective matriarch, and two curious adolescents who treated their human prisoner with both caution and curiosity. Ostman described their diet, social behavior, and how he eventually escaped using nothing but Copenhagen snuff and quick thinking in the wilderness.

The most remarkable part? He kept this Sasquatch story secret for 33 years, until the world finally had a name for the creature he claimed to know up close.

Was Albert Ostman the victim of the most intimate Bigfoot abduction in history? Or did a lonely prospector spin one of the most detailed cryptid hoaxes ever told? Join us as we unpack this classic Sasquatch legend, the Indigenous folklore behind it, and the unanswered question of what might still hide in the deep forests of the Pacific Northwest.

From the misty valleys of Toba Inlet to decades of skeptical investigations, this is the Bigfoot story that refuses to die, and the man who carried an impossible secret until people were finally ready to listen.
