TBP Ep:18 Ape Canyon

During the summer of 1924, a daring group of gold prospectors encountered a perplexing situation when they alleged being attacked by towering ape-like creatures hurling massive boulders. According to their account, while venturing through the untamed wilderness, one of the prospectors fired his rifle at one of the creatures, successfully hitting it three times. To their astonishment, the wounded animal tumbled off a cliff, disappearing into an inaccessible canyon. Later on, the ape men allegedly retaliated by bombarding their cabin with enormous stones and leaving behind colossal footprints.
News of this extraordinary tale quickly spread throughout the local community, causing quite a stir. Intrigued by the reports, U.S. Forest Service rangers J.H. Huffman and William Welch took it upon themselves to investigate the matter. Determined to uncover the truth, Huffman and Welch ventured into the supposedly "inaccessible canyon," hoping to find evidence of the mysterious creatures. However, their search yielded no results. In fact, they even demonstrated how the 14-inch-long footprints discovered near the cabin could easily be fabricated, leading them to conclude that the miners themselves had likely placed the large stones to enhance their story.
Despite the rangers' thorough debunking of the prospectors' account, the allure of the tale persisted. "People still wanted to believe" in the existence of these enigmatic creatures. Consequently, the prospectors' story continued to circulate and gain momentum over the years, inspiring new theories and claims of fresh sightings.
