Redbone Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 I knew you'd get around to these videos. I am very fond of the narrator, Kelsey Crowe. There is another video about this valley, but it may take me more than a few minutes to find it. Edit: found it... 1
BlackRockBigfoot Posted February 14, 2020 Posted February 14, 2020 This look great at a glance. I will watch them more in depth this evening. Thanks guys!
Patterson-Gimlin Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Thanks for sharing . Both of you .This is a good explanation as to many NA stories of man apes living among them. Outcasts and rogue thought to be cursed tribesman etc. Certainly not large man apes.
Nipissing Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Here is a 1947 article in Maclean's magazine, written by Pierre Berton: https://archive.macleans.ca/article/1947/3/15/valley-of-mystery EDIT: I don't know how well-known Berton is outside of Canada, but if you love to read about the north country, he's a name to know. Edited February 15, 2020 by Nipissing adding blurb about Pierre Berton
Doug Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 I loved those videos! Those people were a lot tougher and more adventurous than I ever was.
Redbone Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 That third video I posted the other night was not the one I was looking for. I thought it was this one, about Frank Graves and Ivan Sanderson, with Kelsey Crowe as the narrator.
NatFoot Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 Great thread. Not watching 35 minute YT vids. Will not read again. Norse already knows how I feel about this crap. 1
Redbone Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 The video I shared yesterday references the October 1974 issue of "Pursuit" magazine, Where Ivan Sanderson writes about the "Dire Wolf" at about 31:30. I have that Pursuit issue (and all others) in PDF format. Note that there is a lot of Sasquatch info in that issue, including a letter from John Green about then recent sightings. Here is that issue: Pursuit October 1974.pdf The article about Thunderbirds is in Pursuit April 1972, mentioned at about 01:03:19. Here is that issue: Pursuit April 1972.pdf Disclaimer: I have not actually read these articles, but likely will do so in the near future.

An NFB short (18:36) from 1962: https://www.nfb.ca/film/nahanni/ This short film focuses on the legend of a lost gold mine and a river in the Northwest Territories that lured men to their doom. Albert Faille, an aging prospector, set out time and again to find hidden gold. His route took him through the wild and awesome land particularly suited to the mood of this Canadian odyssey. It touches briefly on the legends around the area, but its main worth is a glimpse into the forbidding geography of the area, and the difficulties in navigating the river. (also watching a 73-yr old man lug an outboard motor up a mile and quarter portage makes me feel like a soft southern lump)

ShadowBorn Posted February 16, 2020 Moderator Posted February 16, 2020 Thanks for the videos they were very enjoyable. I love listening to folklore and you never know how true it may be. But knowing what I know now I believe that it may all be true.
Kiwakwe Posted February 17, 2020 Posted February 17, 2020 I loved the doc that Mel and Ethel did, watched that a few years ago then read The Headless Valley which was a good read. Wild place! https://www.ainsworthbooks.com/product/11896/The-Headless-Valley-Fiennes-Ranulph Thanks for posting the others all, looks to interesting and Ms Crowe does a nice job.
Airdale Posted March 8, 2020 Posted March 8, 2020 Great video Norse, thanks! I liked the bit of humor suggesting a portage around the 90 meter falls. 1
