Bigfoot Kills Trapper {Bauman's Story}
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2017
- Theodore Roosevelt's book "The Wilderness Hunter" is 600 pages about life on the frontier. Hidden within it, is a story that Roosevelt believed, about a trapper who got out alive, and a trapper that didn't.
In some random universe there is a Sasquatch on a Bigfoot version of UA-cam discussing the evidence of a possible Bob Gymlan sighting.
That's actually undeniable 👍
@@hanselmansell7555 it's very deniable, watch!
You're wrong.
Lmao
@@hanselmansell7555 if there's alternate universes that is
@@jackrocks8350 statistics and probability math say there is
Fun fact: Roosevelt tends to speak about people in detail, giving reference to who a person is and what his connection was to them, making them easily identifiable as historical individuals. He doesn't do this with Bauman, which has caused a popular theory to be that Roosevelt IS Bauman.
The age lines up, as when Roosevelt wrote the story, his wilderness days were largely behind him. Furthermore, it seems like a good way to get your insane and somewhat embarrassing story out there without sounding like a crazy person yourself.
...Or the much more logical conclusion being that he made up the story.
@@newthrash1221 I don't know what's logical in high level politician putting his reputation at risk for no good reason.
@newthrash1221 dude Bigfoot is real, one ate my ass while camping!
@@WahatoyasLame
Indeed
I imagine that Sasquatch tell stories about Teddy Roosevelt.
but it never met him... it met these two _other_ guys.... one of which told this story to Teddy..... Teddy wasn't there...
I would imagine they hear of the “The Beast Of Testosterone”
"He was an odd creature, with his unique call of 'Bully!'"
Jay Greene I bet it does
Jay Greene brilliant
Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how good of a writer he was?
I was kind of shaky on writing skills until he described how the quiet would "brood" over the forest. That was way cool and facilitated my opinion of his writing skills to increase measurably.
Who knew a president that was 80% testosterone was a good author
Yes! I'm sold on reading more from him.
@@eypick6987 testosterone is a blessing for many reasons. Reasoned thinking and creativity are two.
He was by far one of the most compassionate, creative, and respectable presidents we've ever had. I actually have a few of his books in my collection that I skim through on occasion, usually before a hike or camping trip. They are fantastic reads.
A few chapters before this one Roosevelt is talking about an Indian guide he had hired that nearly refused to go much farther into the mountains because of the “ things on those mountains that will kill me if they catch me alone” . The Indian finally went along but with much fuss and only because he was accompanied by two other men.
So what your saying is that this story has the same creature in this one🤔🧐🤨
@Ken Stanaford what tribe? And what places?
yeah wolves and bears
@Ken Stanaford So going to these places would be like lying to a tribe member? Betrayal essentially.
Does your tribe have stories about these creatures or what they are?
@Ken Stanaford Yes, they have been called many names by different tribes across the land: Chiye tanka, lofa, Omah, siatco,skookum, tsul Kalu. Some speak of them as "wild men", "mountain devils", others speak of them in a positive way, that they are helpers of the people and guardians, and seen spiritually as guides(not just creatures) similar to the bear and the wolf.
About Dennis Martin, here is the video where I first learned of this, I think you have seen it: ua-cam.com/video/jda0-C5awNE/v-deo.html
They mention that a few hours after he disappeared, some other family hiking in the area encountered what looked like a "hairy, shaggy man" descending the slope in a very unnatural looking way with something large slung over his shoulder. Very interesting detail.
People have also tried to link these creatures and their supposed tendency to snatch children to the phenomena known as "The missing 411" where people just vanish in national parks, never to be seen again, though it is still uncertain what is behind it all.
My question to you is, is there any chance or point in trying to establish contact with the creatures? Are they intelligent enough to understand intentions? Are they best left alone?
Surely first nation people have had some attempts with them in the past, there are stories of leaving berries for them outside as an offering.
I was taken by the fact that Roosevelt's writing was so lyrical and easy to listen to, as many writer of his time where over flowery and wordy to the point of nonsensical. Your whole treatment was excellent as usual. Thank you for digging out this story.
Agreed. A good writer does more than present the facts; they illustrate atmosphere, avoid unnecessary embellishment and repetition of details and words. That all adds up to be a real art form and expression of good taste. I try to write good but me no write so good sometimes.
jesse hutchings did you get learnt to right good? Cuz they got schools for that shit.
I believe in you, that was a great explanation!
I am a Welshman living in Japan, and so, I am very unlikely to experience a Sasquatch,,,,However, these are some of the finest videos I have listened to. Just incredible. Thank you.
Why are you living in Japan?

Bob Gymlan you have a real talent. Great writing and narrating!!!
"Abandoned everything but his rifle" sounds about right.
Sounds about American to me lel
Very eerie story. You can imagine the terror that Baumann must have felt returning to camp to find his dead friend, and then realizing he was all alone out there...with whatever that "thing" was.
Roosevelt was a no-nonsense man, by the time he'd met Baumann. He'd lost both his mother and his wife, which was the reason that drove him to the Dakota Badlands. He was on a cathartic journey; and had he suspected Baumann of lying, he definitely would have called him out on it.
Excellent comment regarding Roosevelt and his cathartic journey in the Badlands, Mick Psyphon. Thank you.
@faultroy how upset can you be to reply to a comment made a year ago. yikes.
@@skepsisrollins1711 lol
@faultroy
Try learning a bit about Theodore Roosevelt's life, before you make an idiotic statement like that. You'll be less likely to come out looking like a complete jackass.
Start with his book: The Wilderness Hunter. After that, just spend some time researching him at a library... or better yet... an actual Archive. Don't waste your time being a keyboard warrior trying to do it all on the internet, because most of the juicy stuff isn't on the net.
This story is true because all the past stories from Russia and Himalayan regions say the same that this thing was not a friendly creature. Nowadays Yeti make a cup of tea somewhere and meet people.
Roosevelt also once told a story about hunting out West with a companion and one night they heard unearthly howls and growls. Roosevelt said he never heard anything like it before and he was an avid outdoors man and was quite familiar with the animals of the forests. He said it was "chilling" and that the creature was obviously quite large to make such a sound. He and his companion stayed up all night watching for the creature but he never saw what was making the horrible noises. Pretty creepy.
"That bear has been walking on two legs"
God Damn is that ominous!
Kenneth Satria
Bears DO walk on two legs.
@@newthrash1221 yup occasionally they injure the front paws and only walk on 2 legs.
They actually do that more often than thought.
Next thing you know the bears will discover fire.
Famous last words
I listen to this over and over again. You are a great story teller. You don’t have to convince your listeners of anything or try to lay out any fact based arguments. Just give them a great story. The story telling is the convincing part.
Teddy was a pretty effective writer. Funny how some of our most memorable presidents have distinctly unique personalities. Love them or hate them, they are certainly different from the average people who enter politics. My big brother, who was a Boy Scout, positively worshiped TR.
The 2 men should have stuck together. The animal was waiting for them to split up.
Captain obvious strikes again
"The animal"
You’re a little bit late
nuclearjanitors Humans are also animals.
Idk I feel like a Bigfoot could take two dudes at once. People claim they shake off gunshots and are still able to run away after taking a riffle shot to the head/hip/chest. Idk what to think. I want them to be real because it’s super interesting but we need some video or a body.
QUESTION: Did Rosevelt hear this story before or AFTER he signed the National Parks into affect??? Wonder if he knew about Bigfoot and decided to protect it or keep people away???
jessica kiefer very interesting thought
From what I know of TR's life history, he was out west decades before he acquired Presidential powers. I can only thank him for saving so much of the nation's natural beauty from human exploitation. He was a man ahead of his time in many ways.
Exactly
???? People in other continents also damage their environments.
Trump has passed laws to open these same parks to destruction by men .Teddy did a lit if good things.
I first read about this story 40 years ago when I was a kid. It scared me then, it scares me now. Thx for posting.
I read this in the 1970s at about 10 years old. Way too young. I almost gave myself a heart attack when I went into the woods.
Dave Burton You don't look even forty , a you sure lol.
I’m trying to remember where I first read this. I think it was in outdoor life but can’t remember for sure.
Faye Martin Why? Mrs you need to come down to earth and smell the coffee, taste the acid , brew some magic mushrooms , later wave to BF go for a walk with some beer while smoking cannibis go deeper into the woods see a bear and stop and just stare, your senses are on overdrive wave to another BF watch another bear light another joint get the flask out drink some Mushy's light another joint head back to camp all while tripping find a footprint stare at it until someone says come on drink a beer have a leak watch the flask like a hawk BC the last of the mushrooms are in that make it back to camp your bird looks shagable smile get a hug sit down and say saw two BFs and bears footprints then hear where are yous look around say that's jims voice that's what camping is all about not dreaming of been a pop star at 60 live the lift live BF .

Dave Burton Bauman should have been arrested for murder. He clearly made up this fanciful tale to cover up his killing of his trapping partner. Partner probably stole money from him and in a rage Bauman killed that man.
Interesting that Roosevelt described the woods as "silent" after the attack, which is a phenomenon what is often reported when Bigfoots are present--no birds, animals, insects or frogs are heard. Of course it might have simply been a literary device to describe the overwhelming darkness.
@1:46 Just want to point out that Teddy Roosevelt has a section in his book titled 'Killing black bear with a knife'.
Damn.
Unmitigated Disaster did he stab it in his "bigfoot "
You better start with 30-30
Why would a black bear have a knife?
We had every so often a President with BIG BRASS ONES! Trump's another in that line... speaks his true mind does what he feels is right. Popular or not ..
@@muttomaki1 I carry a large knife when beaver trapping, mostly for cutting brush, but I've stabbed beavers with it. I wish the video was still on my channel.
awesome story and very well told! my grandfather was one of these frontier people. he was the son of a german brewer in milwaukee and ran away from home at the age of 12 and spent some time as a hobo in the southwest. in the winter the crow indians picked him up starving and he lived with them until 18. he later became an ethnologist and indian mythology expert, reemigrated back to germany in the 20s and published and amazing collection fo indian fairy tales as they were told around the campfires. this story could be right out of his book ;-) his name was hans rudolph rieder. cheers from berlin! florian
My sons great great grandfather was in the rough riders as a native scout
You mean your great grandfather?
@@taylordakoda67 no theyre obviously referring to the other parents relative. So his wife's grandfather not his. That's why he said his son is related not himself.
Didn't know DMX was so old
My wife’s great grandfather was in the Rough Riders, Flagstaff, AZ.
@@IronCavalier cool, my wife's boyfriend sold his prosthetic leg on Craigslist
For a long time many bigfoot stories sounded rather silly to me, but you really tell only the most compelling stories, and have brought me back to seeing how interesting and plausible the idea of such a creature is
Why couldn’t their be something in the forest. The mountain gorilla was considered native myth until discovered by explorers in the 1880’s.
Discovered lol
@@mikehewitt2146 perhaps "verified" would've been a better choice?
to the original point, as overdeveloped as parts of our country are or are becoming, there still a great many places that can still be fairly described as "wilderness"
most people can't really conceive how much nature still hasn't been disturbed yet
@@Viking_Luchador There are large areas in the US that people simply have no access to due to terrain and how wild it is. Plus you have federally-protected game lands to boot.
@@filthycasual8187 yes, that is the general gist of what I was saying. And federal land isn't really a "no-go" zone, just no hunting or commercial enterprises.
@@Viking_Luchador Yeah but my point was that these game lands exist alongside the aforementioned impassable terrain, and, at least in my home state of Pennsylvania, are all pretty heavily forested. There's plenty of habitat to be had in the USA and so it's not hard to believe for anyone with critical thinking skills that there *could* be a surviving, thriving population of bipedal hominids living in the wild eras of the country.
One of the more seemingly realistic Bigfoot tales that I have ever heard. It has been played out in several movies over the years. There is a great version of Bauman's tale in "Sasquatch: The Legend of Bigfoot", as well as a great adaptation of the fiasco at Ape Canyon, near Mount St.Helen's.
i'm not even particularly invested in bigfoot speculation but i love your videos so much

Bigfoot is real
One of the most well written wood beastie stories of all time! It really captures the remoteness of the wilds up in the remote mountains and the dread of a stalking and unknown 'thing '. Scared the pants off me when I was a little kid and I guess it still does. Thanks Bob. A tale well told!
You had me at: "Roosevelt was the first green president. Before they ruined it for us."
Beowulf and grendel spring to mind. It doesn't always be good to ignore the old tails. Many things have an element of truth

Frosty Ghost thats an odd way to view the story. It does end with a dragon right?
Tales, not tails
@@jacobfreeman5444 no its definitely tails, not tales
@@mahoykabusk Ah, I see. Well, I guess an old tail would be a thing to not ignore. Wouldn't want to step on it and piss the creature off.
I just found your channel recently. I’ve been watching them in reverse of how you put them out, expecting them to get perpetually worse so at the end when you’ve uploaded a new video it will be a breath of fresh air. So far, you’ve set the bar to high from the get go. They’re all exquisite.
Probably about the 10th time I've watched this but your work is amazing and Informative and I just can't say enough great things about all your content. Thank you for all your hard work.✌️💯

Bob G., you are indeed a valuable contributor to UA-cam! Keep yup the good work!
Your videos are outstanding and bring to light many cases that are rarely, if ever, spoken about. Genius work. Bully!
This story never ceases to give me chills. Great context and background.
I've heard this story several times but you are the master story teller
Thanks for this. As a kid, I loved this scary story in Bigfoot books but never heard the full version. Having now heard it as a skeptical adult, there are several assumptions - through literary license or what Roosevelt was told - about what happened during the killing (creature sneaked up quietly from behind, pulled head back, etc) that sound like they were taken at face value by Roosevelt.
When you spend enough time with animals and tracking them, the footprints really can tell a story; and Bauman no doubt had many footprints to read.
Another superb video. Thank you; hopefully , you realize how much we appreciate the time and effort you put into your productions!
Pam Purple Rose thanks Pam.
Over 5 years since I found this, I still love to return to listen to it. It’s so interesting to hear tales like this from before the time of cryptid sensationalism. Thanks as always.
Won-ton are what you get in a Chinese soup.
Wanton (pronounced as WANT-EN) is a word that describes frivolous disrespect or disregard for the possessions or property of others.
Great fricking story!
BULLY!
And I always thought wontons were those bipedal creatures that Luke Skywalker rode and was stuffed in by Han Solo in the ice planet of Hoth.
Ikr. Said it more than once that way, too. That was totally bothering me. lol
I wondered if anyone else heard that and though on Chinese takeout
It bothers me too, but I figure it is just a regional dialect. Can be surprising how two native speakers can pronounce the same words very differently.
Armando is right. The story is a good one but every time the narrator said "Wanton,....like...'wawn..tawn', it bothered me. It is pronounced 'want.....en'. The emphasis is on the first syllable. However....I enjoyed the story.
Knowing the area where this took place extremely well, the descriptions of the forests aren't at all dramatic or exaggerated. Thechuge mountain that creates the small valley and drainage where they were is named Black Mountain with good cause.
BULLY MAN...Great Story Indeed. For any camp...with a fire. Many Thanks Bob.
Tom Panetti BULLY!
Thanks Tom

Probably listened to this two dozen times now, still my favourite story of yours!
Well done indeed! And Roosevelt's writing was nothing short of fine poetry.
The moment I see something you've done I have to listen to it. You have such a naturally mysterious voice all these accounts are all the better for it. I had heard Roosevelt was an avid outdoorsman and about all the national parks and monuments he had established and had wondered what his opinion had been of these creatures. I had no idea about this experience he had recorded. Thank you Bob for bring yet another interesting experience to our attention.
LeAnn Cottman ive searched many other bigfoot experts and bob is the only one i listen too. everyone else is just trying to hard and has no where near the intellgents bob has... if you know of anyone let me know
LeAnn Cottman this mans voice is a product of generations of men who saught to find out mysteries and answers to questions nobody else wants to figure out..they passée their mysteries on down to this guy who seriously does an excellent job in every aspect of making this video..amazing work..when your family has studied the paranormal for generations your voice will probably be creepy but a good creepy 😀✌
I have met two people who have encountered a large bipedal ape like creature one of them is family the other one a co-worker. The encounters we're years and miles apart. Neither one is a bragger or given to tall tails. Both men of good repute. When they told thear stories I was a skeptic but in both cases you could see fear on their faces as they were describing the creatures that they saw. I believe them.
Tracy Dillon do tell
Where about?
Tracy Dillon are you sure they are not tall tails?
Tracy Dillon I saw big-squat walking a chupacabra on a leash
Donovan "purple haze"---- actually I was yielding to Tracy Dillon 's higher intellect, if Traci spells it tails,who am I to correct him?!?
I have copies of all of Roosevelt's hunting and safari books. I will have to look this short story up. Nice presentation and narration. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this content Bob great story!
You do a great job telling this story and I found it very interesting, happily subscribed now :)
This account sounds like it's in southwestern Montana, I lived in the Bitterroot Valley and often took trips into the Big Hole valley just east of the Bitterroot to a small town there called Wisdom, right on the Wise River.
So called because when Lewis and Clark ventured through that Valley in 1805, they called the valley wise because of the wisdom of President Jefferson in acquiring the land via the Louisiana Purchase.
Great story. This gylman guy has a great voice for reading . gets me everytime . makes you feel like your there with the characters.
Very enjoyable listen of a well presented story.
I’ve heard and seen several Squaches. It’s a common thing where I live. If I don’t sleep well I will go outside and listen to him. I’ve nicknamed him Ruckus. He’s something else.
Very cool. Can you tell us more about your encounters?
@@highwaydaytime7669 I’ve been screamed at twice and it shook my ribs. It’s hard to explain that scream. Old bears den of Bigfoot did my story four years ago. The earmark is called Bigfoot in the UP of Michigan. However I live in lower Michigan. I had two sightings driving home from work. The one was at 4 AM and the other one was at 1 AM. I got a very good look at both of them because my car headlights was dead on him and the one time I was stopped getting ready to turn on another road he had bright red eyes. And the other one was standing next to a tree. However there is so much more that I can’t explain it all. Thanks for asking

Bob Gymlan Now I know why he wanted to jump 😂😂
Dàithí Ó Nualláin whys that?
Well done Bob! A wealth of information about the American wilderness during the waning years of the frontier resides in Roosevelt's writings. Though one would have to consider him a privileged individual, the man did experience wilderness firsthand. Moreover, he liked and respected the frontier denizens. We are fortunate that he traveled widely among their company, listened intently to campfire tales and preserved the stories for us in objective and smoothly flowing prose.
Roosevelt discusses "Liver-Eatin' Johnson" in one of his books--might even have been "The Wilderness Hunter"--though I can't remember which one as it has been about thirty-five years since last my read.
He related several of the prevailing myths about Johnson's acquisition of the nickname and evidenced the same credulity tempered by healthy skepticism as portrayed in the story you read for us. Theodore Roosevelt's candidate for the most credible source of John Johnson's "Liver-Eatin'" moniker--and I also tend to accept it as the most-likely true version--was that Johnson, at the conclusion of a battle* with Indians, went out and "finished off" one of his enemy with a large knife. In the process, Johnson opened the man's body significantly, carved out a hunk of the liver and held it aloft while shouting back to his fellow combatants something akin to: "Anyone hungry for some liver?"
In short, Johnson came by his infamy, in part, through a bravado act of rough and dark mountain-man humor! Although cannibalism for survival, ritualistic or perverse purposes was not unknown on the 19th Century frontier, I doubt that Johnson actually consumed the livers of his vanquished foes as so many have contended over the decades. The incident related by Roosevelt certainly rings true to my ears.
Fredrick Remington also wrote contemporaneously of his own western adventures. If you haven't already read some his work, you might want to checkout "Pony Tracks."
* If I recall correctly, Roosevelt indicated that it was The First Battle of Adobe Walls; but I could not verify Johnson's presence there with limited online searching this morning.
Great story Bob Gymlan. I don't know how this one slipped by me. Your work is so enjoyed. Thank you so much.
Somewhere in this volume or possibly in his memoirs, Mr. Roosevelt accounted that on one of his journeys into the pacific northwest mountains (possibly this one) he was awakened by " ...a high, lonely, querulous wail, the like of which I've never heard before nor expect ever to hear again. It had a human quality, but was too unearthly and large a sound to have emanated from human lungs and vocal chords" That's paraphrased from memory, but it's close. I think I read the account of it in John Green's amazing book "Sasquatch, The Apes Among Us". If not there, then probably Dr. Loren Coleman's wonderful volume, entitled "Bigfoot!"
Both of these are excellent reads and contain numerous accounts of human/sasquatch encounters from antiquity to present. I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone with an interest in this phenomena.
Btw, great video Mr. G, thanks for the upload.
Alan Post where were tracks mentioned? He was talking about a wailing sound.

Hey Bob, I've been listening to the audio book for The Wilderness Hunter, and I came across another reference to possible Sasquatch. This one, while not being a direct encounter by Teddy himself, but hearing them while traveling through the mountains of Montana with an old hunter and a native, who was wary about "little, bad Indians who would kill him, if they caught him alone, especially at night". He even acknowledges that the sounds in the area were strange. I couldn't tell you what page(s) it is, but it's chapter 8 in the audio book.
The native I would guess would be either Sioux or Crow; for both sects would say those things about the other, the enmity between the Crow and Sioux was long and deep, and this hunter, being his age, may very well have had dealings with Crow or Sioux. But it is also possible he is talking about some form of Sasquatch too.
Stories are well done! Thanks for giving it everyone to enjoy!

Most bigfoot stories tend to have the creature passive, more interested in avoiding human contact. Although, there are a few accounts of bigfoot being aggressive and territorial. I for one believe Bauman's story and Roosevelt's retelling of it.
Robert Ricobaldi most likely had rabies or something
Robert Ricobaldi Roosevelt was only picking at bauman hoping were the killing happened there would be more, seemingly Roosevelt never killed any and moved on back to Africa to slaughter prime beasts.

I think it was because this was a time period before there were many men with guns in the territory. It must've been hit the first night they shot at it and was angry and wanted to kill the dangerous intruders in its neck of the woods.
Candice's Choice no such thing as Bigfoot
This story has intrigued me for several years now. It just feels so different from what is usually told...
your channel is getting me through this blizzard, love it!!

Bob, you should repost this video with some of that incredible illustration your illustrators are capable of. Love it.
I always enjoy your stories. Your an excellent narrator.
Mr Bob G...........I want to say thankyou. I've watched all of your videos over the consecutive years ultimately resulting in waiting avidly for your next unbiased reselling of what I believe to be very carefully selected true encounters. I have been researching all manner of cryptic, paranormal and spiritual ideas for as long as I have been able to read. All for completely personal reasons unchanged by any opinions of others and derived from evidence of countless encounters do as to draw my own conclusions based on what I believe to someone's very real experience, not to say that said experience is individually specific to a particular human. As a way of the universe having to use shock or trauma treatment as a way of awakening a soul, obviously this can manifest in many different ways, but I digress.
Basically your content is awesome, your ability to deduct the important events and noteworthy truths and tell an old story in a current and believable way is a rare skill.
I know life is busy and the time it must take you to do this Aswell as exist as we all do for now in this reality and the effort that comes with it is worth recognition. I feel compared to many I have listened to and listen to and some I even pay subscriptions for, yours by far is the most alluring and all should take note. I feel your following should be far greater, your ideas considered as important and your uploads worth time and an open mind.
Just want to basically say it is all appreciated this end and will support with likes and shares and big ups as and wen I can. I lookforward to your future content as and wen your life allows u the time. I am patient, quality over quantity every time. Keep it up, you know it's your thing

Great videos, I'm 42 years old and have been reading and researching Bigfoot since I was 5 when I found a book in my schools library. Keep up the good work my freind...
Bob I remember this story from many years ago thank you for bringing it back😎
Another great video
Keep up the great work
The old mountain man pictured here is Bigfoot Wallace, a Texas Ranger.
If I was an outlaw, I'd give up once I found out that hard as nails looking Ranger was coming after me.
Yes, i was about to post that myself, and was scrolling back to be sure i hadn't already posted it .. i've listened to this story a couple of times..
Karate fighter
Lynda I was only pointing out who was pictured. It is Bigfoot Wallace and I know this from two impeccable sources. The first source is a great-great grand niece of Wallace who is a friend and the second is the Texas Ranger archive. Further, Roosevelt was in the Dakota territory about a thousand miles from where Wallace lived and when Roosevelt was doing his western adventures, 1884-1887, Wallace was in his late 60s so not too mobile and probably home bound. He died in 1889.
Finally I have heard the Bauman story! Thank you!
Love your channel Bob. Another great vid here.
