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.
