Episode description

In this episode of Sasquatch Tracks, the team takes a deep dive into the enigma of Sasquatch kidnappings, with a look at the most well-known cases involving alleged abductions by relict hominoids. We also examine traditional beliefs among Indigenous American groups regarding such incidents, and the possible anthropological and biological factors behind stories of those who were kidnapped by Sasquatch. 

At the heart of our discussion is the odd tale of Albert Ostman, a Swedish-born immigrant who in the 1920s, while camping near Toba Inlet, British Columbia, claimed he was kidnapped by Sasquatch "people". Recalling the events of his strange encounter, over the years Ostman gave very detailed descriptions of his alleged captors during the strange ordeal. In our discussion, the team examines Ostman's story, the evidence that supports it, as well as questions that raise a few concerns, and compare Ostman's narrative to the stories of others who claimed to have been kidnapped by Sasquatch.
