“That Thing Out There Is Not A Man” | Official Music Video | #DarkWeirdness

March 2, 2026 Weird Darkness MUSIC

In 1924, gold prospector Albert Ostman headed into the Canadian wilderness hunting treasure — and claimed something else hunted him instead. “That Thing Out There Is Not a Man” retells his bizarre first-hand account of being carried off in his sleeping bag by a Sasquatch and held for six days by what he described as a Bigfoot family, before escaping by tricking the dominant male into swallowing a full tin of snuff. No blurry photos, no campfire legends — just one terrified man, a .30-30 rifle, and a story that’s either survival horror at its rawest… or the wildest tall tale ever told. Read the true story here: https://weirddarkness.com/bigfootkidnappings/
All songs are released to major streaming platforms and music apps such as Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, and most other services worldwide.



In 1924, a gold prospector named Albert Ostman went into the Canadian wilderness chasing lost treasure. Instead, something else found him. “That Thing Out There Is Not a Man” is a retelling of one of the strangest first-hand Bigfoot encounter stories ever recorded — a claim that a Sasquatch picked up a fully grown man in his sleeping bag and carried him for three hours into a hidden mountain basin. No blurry photos. No second-hand rumors. Just a terrified prospector, a .30-30 rifle, and a tin of Copenhagen snuff that may have saved his life. According to Ostman, he was held for six days by what appeared to be a Sasquatch family — an old man, an old woman, and two juveniles — before he escaped by tricking the dominant male into swallowing an entire box of snuff. What followed? Chaos, squealing, and a desperate downhill sprint toward civilization. This song takes his account and cranks it to eleven — turning survival horror into driving guitars, pounding drums, and a chorus that refuses to leave your head: “That thing out there is not a man…” Was Albert Ostman telling the truth? Was he delirious? Or did something in those mountains really carry him away in the night? You decide.
