All About Hairy Trivia Quiz

Answer: Washington

The miners reported that a large group of bigfoot creatures tried breaking into their cabin during the night, apparently to get to the miners. In 1950 a man named Jim Carter was skiing with a group in the area, but left the group on his own to film a documentary. Later, when he didn't return, the rest of the group went looking for him. Following the trail his skis had made, the group couldn't believe the risks that he had taken, making daring jumps that no experienced skiier would have ever attempted.

They surmised the only possible explaination is that Mr. Carter was running from something in an attempt to save his own life. One of the group members stated that he felt as though he had been watched by someone or something since he came into the area. Mr. Carter was never seen again.

In 1980 Ape Canyon was reportedly destroyed by the eruption of Mount St. Helens.
