When men first began to encounter strange "creatures" in the forests and grasslands, they called them "Wild Men". Experiences with these "Wildmen" occur throughout history. Even talked of in classical and preclassical times.

There was almost a romance to the "wildness" of these men. A wildness that called to the hearts of all men, a freedom of the soul, that releases something inside us even today. In the tales, we are warned of this wildness, as it would overtake us. Consume us. Take us away from civilization.

John Green made many contacts who shared the stories they heard in their areas with him. Two of them for the Vancouver area were Bruce McKelvie and Charles Cates.

Bruce Mckelvie was a journalist and historian, who spent time listening to the stories told by the people in the area. He was known to keep silent if asked to and never told of the secret encounters. Charles Cates, Mayor of North Vancouver, also collected stories of these creatures. Both of these men recorded these tales long before anyone thought to keep any sort of systematic records. Unfortunately, most of what they knew was lost when they died in the late 1950s.

The disappearance of Joan Gay Croft is a haunting mystery that dates back to April 10, 1947. Joan, a four-year-old girl, was last seen in Woodward, Oklahoma, after a devastating F5 tornado struck the town on April 9, 19471. The tornado killed 185 people and injured many others.

There are so many reasons people will give for Britain not being home to any Bigfoot-type creature.

NO FOSSIL BASED EVIDENCE. NO BONES. NO LIVE OR DEAD SPECIMENS. HABITAT.

Hmmm. Those all sound familiar. Let's see, we (well, most of us) will agree that there appears to be a large, hairy man-beast living in North America  and we can list:

One of the most iconic images associated with the Loch Ness Monster is known as the "Surgeon's Photograph." This black-and-white photo was taken by Dr. Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London-based gynecologist, in April 1934. The photograph depicts what appears to be a long neck and head emerging from the waters of Loch Ness in Scotland.

In the annals of American Cryptids, few creatures have captured the public's imagination quite like Bigfoot, the elusive giant said to roam the remote forests of North America. Two figures stand out in the early days of Bigfoot lore: journalists Andrew Genzoli and Betty Allen of the Humboldt Times.
