#254 Kidnapped by Bigfoot - Abduction of Albert Ostman

The extraterrestrial comedy podcast where we probe an alleged encounter with a family of Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Saggy’s we mean Sassy’s. Yes this is the Sassy Saga Part 3. Albert Ostman went for a holiday at the picturesque and isolated Toba Inlet in British Columbia in 1924. Albert didn’t bank on getting abducted by a tribe of Bigfoot during his holiday though! Albert was held captive for several days but it turns out that Bigfoot like snuff a little too much… Albert kept quiet about his encounter for 24 years before finally coming clean with his story when Albert was in his fifties. Was Albert believable? Alongside that, this case uncovers that Bigfoot wear utility belts… All that and more on this week’s probe.
