A Rescue Crew Found a Bigfoot in a Collapsed Mine in 1959 — It Had Kept a Trapped Miner Alive

On September 15th, 1959, a silver mine collapsed on the 1,200-foot level in Idaho's Silver Valley, trapping 23-year-old miner Frank Bertolini behind sixty feet of rock. No food. No light. A broken leg. For three days, the rescue crew heard nothing. The company was ready to seal the drift. Then the knocking started on the air pipe. Three slow, three fast. Every hour, on the hour, for two days. When they finally broke through, Frank was alive. Warm, with water in him, and his leg splinted with knots no doctor had ever seen. And standing at the far end of the tunnel, in the dark, was the thing that had kept him that way. The last line of the rescue foreman's log says the knocking did not come from the survivor. This account comes from Frank's son, who found his father's 41-page handwritten account, a copy of the rescue log, and the steel dinner pail, one side beaten flat.
