When it became painfully obvious that wasn&#8217;t going to happen, he enacted various counter measures. This included the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smoot%E2%80%93Hawley_Tariff_Act\">Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930<\/a> designed to raise U.S. tariffs on imported goods to protect American industries. Unfortunately, it backfired by sparking international trade retaliation. This worsened the growing global depression. Hoover promoted public works to combat unemployment, most notably the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hoover_Dam\">Hoover Dam<\/a>, which began construction in 1931. In 1932 he created the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reconstruction_Finance_Corporation\">Reconstruction Finance Corporation<\/a> to provide emergency loans to banks, railroads, and other institutions. Ultimately, none of these corrective measures were enough to reverse The Great Depression.<\/p>\n<h2>Herbert Hoover And The Sasquatch<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162020\" src=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Herbert-Hoover-Bigfoot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Herbert-Hoover-Bigfoot.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Herbert-Hoover-Bigfoot-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Herbert-Hoover-Bigfoot-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Herbert was born on August 10, 1874, within rural Iowa. After both of Herbert&#8217;s parents died, he was sent to Oregon to live with his uncle in 1885 at the age of 11. It was there he had a run in with a <a href=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/bigfoot\/\">Bigfoot<\/a> while roaming about the dense mysterious forests of the great <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Northwestern_United_States\">Northwest<\/a>. The hairy beast abruptly whisked little Herbie away to the hidden stronghold of the Sasquatch people. Among them lived Native American tribes who had been hiding from the US Government and violent frontiersmen since the mid-1800&#8217;s. It seems one of the Native families had recently suffered the death of a child and they presented Hoover as a replacement.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, that didn&#8217;t work out and young Hoover was returned after three days. His story of witnessing multiple Sasquatch families and Indian tribes living in their traditional ancient ways was dismissed as the active imagination of youth. It was strongly suggested he never speak of such things ever again for fear of being branded a kook! Sometime after his Presidency a disillusioned Hoover headed back to the forests of Oregon to find Bigfoot and the Native tribes. Plausibly looking for some meaning to life and guidance on what to do next. He was unable to locate them. With the aid of paranormal experts Herbert tried one more time near the end of his long life as he hoped they could help him with his health maladies. No contact with the paranormal was achieved.<\/p>\n<h2>Hoover&#8217;s Humanitarian Efforts<\/h2>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_162030\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162030\" style=\"width: 341px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Life-Herbert-Hoover-Presidential-Chronicles-ebook\/dp\/B0DJK58ZKR?crid=39LLBA4FTPSUA&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.xpJCfvkeW4bVdaHadZrPHg6x1VGBg6QE74EPGp1eZV7qL6Uq5hlWcYjnQXX0pe6oQuYkLtkdv2Uwju4EoYcpx2VYVD1l72WwJOG_0n-pZxKBM2-YE-yL0Gn6rocYrymiJnRSE2CllQKW14yoh0aYDLbFZri2vQr06iGA-QwWsAx6dYGrJkIfvOw0hekvSBPc3hhInmwSaJtfMftGCkLjsR4O-d_jfg6BZGRaovsfAiv198U6bnlNR4IVlIJr0eTOqvZxzUvs6wAdWB5DuMyr4z-mjJ5ZfNEWwI8JIHCCVm8.BmIU-NuU50j49JSecajqzCplvW-aBUHGEx5mKwwzTnM&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=herbert+hoover&amp;qid=1744760612&amp;sprefix=herbert+hoove%2Caps%2C285&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&amp;psc=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mystic-investigations-20&amp;linkId=b53a3e8decbd72d9bc11fea33cc75e64&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-162030\" src=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HOOVER-BOOK.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"341\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HOOVER-BOOK.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HOOVER-BOOK-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HOOVER-BOOK-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/HOOVER-BOOK-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 341px) 100vw, 341px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162030\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">[Amazon Ad]<\/figcaption><\/figure>His mostly positive experience with Bigfoot and natural Natives most likely influenced him to reform the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bureau_of_Indian_Affairs\">Bureau of Indian Affairs<\/a> (BIA) during his presidency. Under Hoover the BIA was reorganized to improve its administrative process by reducing corruption and inefficiency. They aimed to limit exploitation of Native Americans, promote better education, healthcare, and economic development on reservations. His brush with the supernatural also caused him to quietly direct secret factions of the US Government to investigate the existence of the elusive Bigfoot long before it came into the public consciousness.<\/p>\n<h2>The Paranormal Presidency?<\/h2>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_162033\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-162033\" style=\"width: 358px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BNT968PX?_encoding=UTF8&amp;pd_rd_i=B0BNT968PX&amp;qid=1744760861&amp;pd_rd_w=2Kol0&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.8591358d-1345-4efd-9d50-5bd4e69cd942%3Aamzn1.sym.8591358d-1345-4efd-9d50-5bd4e69cd942&amp;pf_rd_p=8591358d-1345-4efd-9d50-5bd4e69cd942&amp;pf_rd_r=NZE25JE8MV81AQA6G75R&amp;pd_rd_wg=CHdf5&amp;pd_rd_r=476d5ce8-3e0b-4b10-b0f5-0982480bb96a&amp;pd_rd_plhdr=t&amp;th=1&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=mystic-investigations-20&amp;linkId=2f1da867fcd5594145b6c3a33fc1f5e8&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-162033\" src=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bigfoot-Thinker-Statue.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"785\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bigfoot-Thinker-Statue.jpg 684w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bigfoot-Thinker-Statue-137x300.jpg 137w, https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Bigfoot-Thinker-Statue-467x1024.jpg 467w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-162033\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bigfoot Sasquatch Thinker Statue [Amazon Ad]<\/figcaption><\/figure>Upon becoming President, he was shocked by the true extent of paranormal activity on Earth!

The only thing he directly dealt with were the occasional <a href=\"https:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/white-house\/\">ghosts haunting the White House<\/a>. Mostly, a secret department of seasoned ghost whisperers kept things under control. This is something every President has dealt with since at least the Mid-1800&#8217;s.
