Bigfoot Bodies Removed After 1980 Mt. St. Helens Eruption

A previous post dug a bit into the idea that the local bigfoot that lived around Mt. St. Helens might have may have been killed in the 1980 eruption, well a thread on FaceBook took it a bit further, with information about multiple reports of sightings of bigfoot bodies being removed by those reacting to the disaster.

“The Government is Hiding Dead Bigfoot Bodies!!”

The first account is from Who’s Watching You?: An Exploration of the Bigfoot Phenomenon in the Pacific Northwest by Linda Coil Suchy.

…was placed in charge of one pile of dead animals in particular. The pile was covered and no one was allowed to come near it. Armed U.S. National Guard personnel were guarding this pile. On the day that they were going to move this group of bodies, [Bradshaw] was standing very close to the pile and was told to keep his mouth closed about what we was to witness.

When the tarps were removed, he was amazed to see that the bodies were those of sasquatch. Some badly burned, and some not. They were placed in a large net and lifted into the back of a truck, which was then tarped over.

Freedom on Information Acts were filed to see if there was an official report, the response was quite predictable and uninformative.

“there were no documented reports of big foot [sic] or sasquatch carcasses and there were no projects to attempt to locate and/or recover any bodies.”

Another report, also from the same book claims a man in Spokane saw a large, double rotor helicopter (most likely an Army Chinook) fly overhead at between 100 to 150 feet. The helecopter was carrying a cargo net that contained at least three dead Bigfoot bodies. The bodies were described as hairy, grey ash coated arms and legs.

Well that is weird.

    1. Seriously, stop. You are ridiculous. Even the story itself talks about a few people and there is no way an 11-year-old was anywhere near Mt. St. Helens wilderness, especially right after it blew. This is why people will never take mysteries like this seriously.

    2. What else do you remember? Can you give specific details to add to the story?

      As for the skeptics, ignore them… They are more interested in bloviating rather than listening without judgement.

    3. Okay all you doubters! I was in on the early reports and personally saw the body of a dead, badly burned bigfoot. My world changed a bunch with that sighting for I was a non-believer before.

      They’re real folks!

    1. So Heath, Do you mean to tell the world that you are one of those people who hasn’t EVER had an experience with the Sabé people? Bigfoot is really a name that a totally uneducated person would spout out of his cake hole!

      1. The only way most people can believe, is to actually see for themselves, but seeing isn’t always about believing. For those with faith, we walk by faith and not by sight. Bigfoot is real and has been covered up by the government, along with many other things that actually exist.

  1. Now don’t be so quick to discredit someone. It was the military and a few government agencies. That were helping them. There was a temporary camp set up … They took one around different areas. Starting the second day afterwards. The one they had. Took them to different areas around the mountains and some ares in the forests. He would make a few calls. After the second place he took them one came out. It was taken out and had its injuries taken care of . The fourth place there was an answer back. So they went to it. It was surverly injured. It talked to the other one. And it you he’d the injured one and walked away. A soldier shot it. And then they went to other locations. There were like five total. Out of many more that did not make it. And thus came from three sources. That live in different States. All had the same story. Each one had other things that they remembered. Because they had different roles. At the temp. camp. So explain that !?!???
    So believe this man does not know every inch of our world. Like they think they do. The stories are out there. You just have to look and then listen to them.
    I am open minded.. and I listen to every detail. And you can tell and weed out the bullshit. And there is a lot of it out there.
    From what I am gathering it is an intelligent over size bye pedal age.
    There is a guy that is living out in the Northwest. That has footage and when you see the video. You will see why I think it is a large ape that survived. The big extinction just like we did..
    We built under ground living spaces.
    And it looks like they did the same thing.

    1. nice comment. Check out Steve on YouTube and send this in please. Look up the facts by how to hunt.com he tells these stories for people who don’t want to tell them after they have them because of the ridicule they receive. He would love as much detail as possible and a copy of that video if you can get it.

    2. I REMEMBER SEEING A LEGIT REAL DOCUMENTARY WHEN A PART LIKE FIVE MINUTS LONG SAID EXACTLY WHAT YOU SAID, HE SAID A SASQUATCH LOOKING ANIMAL WAS SPEAKING WITH A MILITARY GENERAL DUDE OR SOMETHING TO A OFFICIAL AND HE WAS HURT BUT COULD SPEAK ENGLISH THE BIGFOOT WAS NICE RESPECTFUL IT WAS WORRIED ABOUT IT’S FAMILY THEN THEY CAME OUT THE WILDERNESS AND THEY ALL GOT INTO A VAN AND THEY DROVE OFF, BUT YES THUS IS TRUE, I SEEN THE NEWS MY SELF THE SHOW DOCUMENTARY,

      1. The bigfoot was speaking with a General? The bigfoot was worried about his family? This kind of comment is why everyone doubts peoples stories.

        1. The Bigfoot speaking with the General does not surprise me after all they can communicate telepathically so it is no surprise to me that if they can do that they could convey a message in any language.

      2. WHAT! You must be kidding! Those kind of stories don’t help create authenticity regarding Big Foot. Puleeze!

    3. Thank you Samuel for the great information! I believe in Sasquatch! I have seen him/her years ago and it is one early Oct Sunday morning I will never forget!

  2. I WAS LIVING IN TROUT LAKE WA. AT AGE 14. I WAS IN A BOY’S RANCH CALLED SAWTOOTH RANCH OWNED BY DON & CORALEE WARNER. SUNDAY MAY 18, 1980. OUR 3 STORY LOG CABIN SHOOK , WINDOWS RATTLED, IT LOOKED LIKE MT. ADAM’S BLEW UP.
    OUR 40 HEAD OF HORSE’S & PACK MULES TURNED INTO 400 HEAD OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK.
    HUNDREDS OF SEMI’S LOADED W HAY CAME INTO OUR VALLEY. AT THE TIME WE OWNED THE GRASS AIRSTRIP. 4000 SMOKE JUMPER’S CAMPED OUT ON OUR LAND. C-130’S AND CARGO PLANES BLANKED THE SKIES. FOR SCHOOL ON MONDAY WE ALL SAT ON THE BALL FIELD AND WATCHED THE ASH PLUMES AS IT COVERED THE WORLD AND THE AFTER QUAKES. DON AND I PLOWED THE ROAD’S EVERY OTHER DAY.
    I HAVE MORE STORIES TO TELL ANOTHER DAY IF U CONTACT ME !!!!

      1. I was near the national guard tent area and there was a native American talking with the bigfoot and they took him around to look for dead bigfoot in caves and one was alive but in such pain they put her down. The soldiers were debriefed. But what amazes me is the bigfoot was cooperating with the native American and was extremely sad at losing his family.

  3. I know a bunch of bigfoots were killed in the eruption. But how F☆☆☆☆☆ up is that our government chooses to lie to us.That would of been a pretty good chance to come clean.

    1. FYI… Even the Holy Scriptures say, “Don’t throw your pearls before swine, lest they turn and trample you.”

      “Pearls,” are truthful information. Swine, are those who insist they know everything, when actually, they’re dumb as a bunch of rocks. Basically, when you attempt to educate someone who is literally unfamiliar with a topic that you are proficient in, they will fight you every time. They’ll get angry, yell, curse, belittle you & even become very narcissistic towards you. When all you did was quietly & politely make a truthful statement.

      1. ~~sweet answer.
        I’m finding answers to questions , I haven’t asked yet, in Biblical quotes. I “survived” 13 years of Jesuit Cathlolic school.

          1. I’m not sure but after two years of following Steve is Dale on “the facts by how to hunt“ there have been quite a few testimonies of people, who, in the midst of their terrifying encounter, repute, or sent away the Sasquatch “in the name of Jesus“ and the Sasquatch left. There are a few others who have written in claiming that they have contact with Sasquatch, and have been told that they do believe in Jesus. One particular one I remember, said that Sasquatch was mine, speaking to him, and answered very matter-of-factly “of course“. Steve is the wall is as genuine as a man comes, but unfortunately, his videos are not labeled or categorized in a way that we can look up specific ones. If only! It sure would save me a lot of searching because currently I am traveling the US and going to many places where there have been sightings. It sure would help if I Could find some of the videos I remember and hear more details about where some of the places were. For example, right now I am only 2 1/2 to 3 hours from Mount Saint Helens. Wednesday I will be heading there with actually no place planned yet to hike. I know the chances are almost 0 that I will see anything but this curiosity of mine keeps me out in the most beautiful places. We did have one really cool situation in Allegheny national forest and fortunately I was recording. I wish I could share that here, but there’s no way to attach the videos .

        1. Ron Wyatt and his 2 boys found Noah’s ark, and Ark of the Covenant and much more.This is more information that’s covered up like Bigfoot or Sab’e people or whatever name they are given .

      2. It was not a general, it was a linguist speaking to them, I saw the article from the soldier that was sitting next to the Bigfoot in back of the truck

    2. For our government to admit Bigfoot’s exist and in limited numbers would put them on the endangered species list and it would be basically a no-fly zone in there habitats 4 any kind of disruptions which would collapse the Lumber industry in this country this is the main reason why they don’t do it

  4. This whole story is a story. there is no legit documentation or proof or investigation from independent sources for this story.
    This tall tale is being made to look like a documentary from official pages and Muckady muckaroo.

    1. I share your same opinion and here is something to support it: washingtonbigfoot.com/2017/06/30/bigfoot-bodies-removed-after-1980-mt-st-helens-eruption/ you will need to cut and paste. Facebook has gotten after me for posting links.

    2. It is amusing how some people have their head inserted so far up their own ass they just babble to babble !

      Hey muckaroo , SMDH….

      Did u know the governor of the state of Washington officially made Bigfoot a protected species ?

      Hmmm.. yes the governor in 1970 !
      Look it up I believe his name is Dan Evans !

      Not only did he make Bigfoot a protected species he also went as far as to make Bigfoot Washington’s official state mobster .
      True story , for those of u unable to grasp what I said we also have a state bird , flower , tree etc.

      Soooo… idk when a governor actually makes Bigfoot a protected species …
      plus u can look it up and find the document online , kinda really points to duhhhh…

      Sorry couldn’t help myself !
      Besides everybody who is like this muckaroo research the ole video from the 60’s with a (proven) female Bigfoot in California …

      Everybody has gave it their best shot to debunk this video , and guess what …

      Well eating crow probably goes down a bit easier with ranch maybe !

      Nobody could debunk said video !
      One group even took an athlete & very methodically did their best to see if the athlete could even mimick the walk in a controlled environment !
      Without the monkey suit even … shocker he couldn’t even come close !

      Besides all the other evidence that came from every time a group would try & disprove the video !
      For example you can clearly see it’s a female Bigfoot , u can see jaw movement , muscles flexing , all sorts of good stuff !

      Don’t forget now this video was shot in the 60’s which several costume designers have all stepped out stating there just wasn’t a monkey suit at that time where u would see jaw movement , muscles flexing etc .
      Yes the video has been taking down to frame by frame …

      Yet , still , not one person has came close to even being able to say the video is fake !

      Just fools online talking out the side of their necks !

      Before commenting , maybe gain some knowledge first , just a thought …
      it would definitely help people like this muckaroo fella …. get the muck off his shoe and wherever else he keeps it , & not appear so ignorant !

      Knowledge is power !

  5. If you think for one minute your government does not lie to you on a daily basis you clearly need to get out more, read a little more and maybe do some research on many subjects.
    Think about this, with cell phones and cameras you can find many things you would not believe unless you see it, so just because you did not see it does not mean it could not have happened.

  6. I was in Kitchener British Columbia in Canada the morning of the eruption, we woke up that day to what we thought for a minute was snow covering the ground, trees and cars, which was impossible since it was end of May and warm weather, it was in fact all the ash from the eruption and it continued falling for hours if not a couple days after the fact, it was absolutely surreal and at the time the flow of news was slow back then, no internet or 24 hour news channels. We only had 3 channels back then and we had no idea where the ash was coming from till we heard it on the radio. Still own a little bit of the ash I saved in a jar.

  7. BTW tons of Bigfoot sightings in the Creston and Kitchener BC area especially back in the 1980s not long after the Mt St Helen’s eruption. I remember for years after word people would say that the St Helens eruption sent a lot of the Sasquatch from Washington up into British Columbia to escape the damaged environment and all the ash everywhere. Back in the 80s too crossing the USA/Canada border in the forests was easy nobody watched liked they do now and even at the border crossing if you drove across enough to go shopping the US and Canada border guards would just wave you through because they got to know you over time, a much simpler and better time and a much better time back then for the Bigfoots too.

  8. I’ve been seeing (and photographing) what looks to be 2, possibly 3 different sized bare footprints right outside and around the forested side of my house for the last couple of weeks, I live on the far northern tip of oregon in a residential area backed by woods. I personally feel in my soul that these people exist (yes, I believe they are relatives of ours). Does anybody have suggestions on who I might contact to discuss this with? I havent a lot of knowledge in this area, no more than most, but am compelled to pusue this with some serious about the Sasquatch people. Thank you for reading and in advance for any suggestions.

    Yours, M.F.

    1. Go to YouTube and search up Steve. He runs the facts by how to hunt.com on there. He tells stories people send to him so they don’t get ridiculed telling them. He would love pics.

    2. I suggest you bring the subject up with your neighbors and see what they think before I’d look for information from outside outside sources.

    3. Dateline Feb 2023: Search Youtube.com for “David Paulides Bigfoot 101 Class 1”. There are now approx 16 Classes (1-16) and each are about 1 hour long. These are free classes about “bigfoot” by David Paulides, an ex-cop, missing persons and bigfoot and UFO researcher. He’s very thorough and mostly gives just the facts. A good learning experience!

  9. Maya,

    I am a biologist with 15 years experience in addressing the science of bigfoot. Could you send me some of the photos you say you have taken? I know about sasquatch footprints so please contact me.

          1. Maya, John is an expert biologist with over a decade of Bigfoot experience. You’re really going to want to contact him. He is waiting with bated breath for your evidence and testimony, with such unbridled scientific enthusiasm that he does not understand that you don’t know how to contact him. If you click on his name on here, you can find his website, where he is shown on a horse. So you know he means business.

  10. Sasquatch does exist !!! If you doubt go and find him. You might be lucky! Myself im starting a group of seasoned hunters and trappers to try and locate the oklahoma sasquatch.

  11. Be careful who you inform. The government will act like they don’t exist. May even go and destroy them.l witnessed the true existence of them at Ft. Erdwin when we were doing dessert training, 24 infantry out of Ft. Stewart. Advance patrol for the 1/35 FA. I was told it was a Gilly suit but it was 7 to 9 ft tall and moved a tank and then continued down an escartment.The soldiers in the tank appeared out of the terrets wondering what made the tank move. I was discharged some 13 months later. They claimed l had mental problems. No body believed me.l am now 66 and just as sane as the next person….PS What about the giant the soldiers killed in Iraq???

  13. Maybe if we all tried to help each other instead of getting mad and killing each other which makes no sense self gratification right why can’t sasquatch be real I have seen something at Shasta lake 1978 with my cousin not 15 ft. From us it had chased three deer through the brush a doe and fawn came down the hill and stopped on the road 5 feet away from us stopped and looked back up the hill this thing stepped out from the heavy brush and was looking at it’s next meal the doe was waiting for it’s other baby to come down the hill it did right between that things legs it reached down and grabbed it twisted it’s neck and took a bite that’s when I told my cousin it’s time to go he was in shock I had to grab him and pull him come on let’s go we ran back to the cabin this is a fact that thing did not look like a man in any way it stood on two feet on, it’s face was horrible it had two big teeth on it’s lower jaw facing up but it never took it’s eyes off that deer it knew we were there but it wanted that deer,we could have killed it easily it wasn’t there for us it chased that deer and it was going to get it me and DJ never talked about it ever my aunt that lived there at the cabin asked If we seen a ghost she had seen them many times she said they came into her garden and eat her fruit and vegetables never bothered her I understand there general they want to live to

  14. My uncle told me about how he witnessed Elvis tenderly ministering to injured bigfoots, before government helicopters came, the injured Bigfoots had their wounds and burns dressed, and were given glasses of lemonade to quench their thirst.

    Of course, he was nutty as a loon, so maybe he was just telling a tall tale. Because Bigfoots are PRETTY TALL!

    1. You must know that u come across as a very ignorant person !

      You must be the only person who thinks you ever come close to being funny !

      It’s almost sad, how you can actually go through your life with your head stuck so firmly up your ass !

      Instead of share your complete lack of knowledge here & behave so foolishly …why not go to sites that actually cause your brain to have positive interactions & thoughts ?

      Don’t kid yourself, there is not a single person who cares about the negative nonsense you actually post with your name attached .

      NO ONE !

      Good luck at trying to contribute to anything in a positive manner !
      Give it a try, who knows you may even awake a wise side of yourself that can actually say things worth reading !

      Certainly would be better than what you do currently !

  15. My first experience with Bigfoot was in Nov. 1963. Our family always went to Southeastern Oklahoma to visit relatives during the thanksgiving holidays, which, at that time coincided with deer season.
    Dad had bought a ‘63 Chevy station wagon. My mom’s parents were with us. They had lived in McCurtain county Oklahoma in the early 1900’s Grandpa was a timber faller for the Choctaw Lumber Company.
    As we drove North on the road between Rattan and Cloudy, something ran across the road from left to right. It was bipedal and looked to be about the size of my dad, 6’5” tall. It appeared to have grey skin covered by sparse, long black hair.
    As it left the roadbed, it leaped a 5 wire, barbed wire fence, landing in a pasture among cattle. The cattle turned to watch it go by, but did not scatter.
    My Grandpa said, “That thing was runnin’ on its hind legs!”
    My da said, “It didn’t have front
    legs, it was swingin’ arms!”
    When we arrived at our destination, and prepared for bed, my dad told our host about what we’d seen. He seem to take it in stride, and said, “Y’all seen a booger, huh?”
    He was not surprised. He was a timber cruiser for the Choctaw Lumber company. Apparently it was not uncommon to encounter “wood boogers” if you were in the woods a lot.
    It was an experience I will never forget.
