9. Another man was kidnapped by Bigfoot in British Columbia, this time in 1928

Although Bigfoot is celebrated in Native American culture, its people are not immune to attack by the creatures, as Muchalat Harry found out in 1928. Harry, a member of the Nootka Tribe, was a seasoned trapper who spent much of his time alone in the great outdoors. Camping near the Conuma River that autumn, Harry woke up to find himself (like Ostman) carried off in his sleeping bag, clad only in his woolen underwear. After three miles, his hairy kidnapper threw him to the ground, where he found himself surrounded by no fewer than 20 Sasquatches!

Harry founds himself in an area full of human bones, and thus feared he was destined to be eaten. However, the Sasquatches seemed more interested in his underwear, and after pulling at them for most of the day, they lost interest and simply walked off. Harry ran 12 miles to his canoe, and rowed the 45 miles home for his life – still just in his knickers. He was found in his canoe, unconscious. During his three week convalescence his hair apparently turned bright white. Unsurprisingly, Harry never returned to the woods again, according to the priest who nursed him.
