Ohio Stories From The Early Days

In the 1800s, the "Wildman" or "Gorilla" ran wild in the Ohio woods.

In late April near Stout, Ohio, a "Wildman" was being seen in the woods. After it allegedly attacked a boy, thirty armed men hunted for the creature. It was described as very tall and "almost naked". And that it could run like a deer. Another witness said the "Wildman" was wearing a pair of tattered pants.

Hmmm. Almost naked. Does that mean it was hairy?  As for the tattered pants, the mind may tell us the creature had to have clothes, that it couldn't be long hair, matted and dirty. Who knows? There is no report that the thirty men ever found the attacker.

What's It Like? - Face To Face With Bigfoot

There's lots of talk in bigfoot group forums and anywhere that bigfoot enthusiasts gather. A question that never fails to come up: What would you do if you came face to face with a bigfoot? or the: What was the first thing you did, said, thought, etc. when you saw it?

Happens all time. It did for me just the other night. I was talking with fellow researcher, blogger and friend Leo. At some point or other in the conversation, Leo said as a joke: "I'm starting to tremble." 

Wildmen of China

We take another trip today into the wild terrain of China to take a look around for the wildman said to reside there.

Reports are rare from China; the political policy of the country may be partly to blame. But we do have records of wild men going back a long way.

Li Yanshow, a 9th Century historian, talked of a band of wild men residing in the forests of Hubei. The 18th Century poet, Yuan Mei, wrote about a creature found in the wild regions of Shanxi province. He called them "monkey-like, yet not monkey-like".

In 1940, Wang Zelin, was a graduate of the biology department of Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. He claimed to have seen a corpse of the creature. He was driving to Tianshui in Gansu Province when he heard gunfire. Driving on a little further, he came upon a group of soldiers standing around a strange body. It appeared to be a female, human-like, about 6'6" tall, and covered with a coat of thick greyish-red hair about 1 1/4 inches long. The hair on its head was about 12" long but the hair on its face, was shorter. The cheekbones were prominent and the lips jutted out.

Real Alien Disclosure

Is it time for full and real alien disclosure? Most would say it is past time. We know that over the past year or so, the government has trickled out a few videos and admitted they were UAPs. But we all know they know much more than they are telling us.

What follows is an email I got from John Mooner and some of his efforts to get full disclosure. If you remember, we have featured some of his research on our website in the past. Here is the email.

Wildman In Kentucky

Before we knew them as Sasquatch or Bigfoot, or even called them gorilla, there were reports of Wildmen in the woods.

Deep Creek, Kentucky - May 1894.  In this rural area, people began reporting that something seemed to be stealing their chickens, eggs, young pigs, lambs and various other food items.

One morning, Eph Boston and his sons saw a creature heading to their barn. It was about 6 1/2 ft. tall, and had clawed feet and cat-like hands. After entering, it then came out running, carrying three chickens. Tom Boston fired at it with his gun, but the creature escaped. They followed it to where it disappeared into a cave.

Oh Wait - There Are More Theories!

Although the Bigfoot-Giganto Theory is the most debated and seems to be the most popular, there are other theories out there to which believers subscribe.

Another theory is the Paranthropus Theory which is similar to the Bigfoot-Giganto Theory.  It states the bigfoot is a descendant of Paranthropus which is a genus of bipedal apes. These apes are said to have evolved in Africa from the Australopithecines. The Australopithecines are the same ancestors that humans are believed to have come from. This theory ties human's past closer to bigfoot's and takes in the bipedal aspect and the similar foot development.

Gigantopithecus Part 2

Most of us in the Community are familiar with the Bigfoot-Giganto Theory. It is based on the belief that bigfoot are surviving relatives of the genus Gigantopithecus and that this creature crossed the Bering Land Bridge into North America and evolved into the modern day bigfoot.

So let's break it down by listing pro and con. 

Three 1960's "Quickies" From Minnesota

Just for the fun of it: Three short encounters from Minnesota from the 1960s. These appeared as "fillers" in various publications and there are few details known.

In fall of 1968 in La Crescent, a man thought he heard one of his friends approaching the duck blind in which he waited. He stood up to caution the guy to be quieter. Instead of his friend, he found himself looking at the middle of a huge,black, hairy chest. He dropped his shotgun, which set off a shot and the tall hairy creature ran off screaming.

Gigantopithecus Part 1

This massive creature existed 9 million years ago to as recent as 100,000 years ago. Teeth and jawbones have been found primarily in China, India and Vietnam. Fossil records indicate it was the largest known primate that ever lived. 9.8 ft tall, 1190 to 1320 lbs. Some disagree asserting that Gigantopithecus was smaller - around 5.7 ft and 400-600 lbs. These size differences can perhaps be explained by looking at the different species.

I got the following report a few days ago and wanted to share it. I'm sure there an many more details about this area that the family could tell us. It also reminded me of a show I did a few years ago on My Crypto World entitled Bigfoot and Outhouses. 

Here is the report

Open Minds Update

I saw a couple of things on FB and in groups I belong to this week. One was a very encouraging post from a friend about a Bigfoot meeting held recently. Several area search groups and teams attended this meeting. And they talked about cooperation with each other and about being open-minded to others'  theories and research methods. It was acknowledged that these are small steps of course. The biggest obstacle: Trust.

Trust. That doesn't come easy at any time. And especially in this day. We've all become Fox Mulder. We trust no one. Not even our own mothers. And probably rightfully so. We see people's research and evidence being "borrowed" all over the world. Even down to a "nobody's" encounter. Their story is taken and with a few little changes, or even sometimes no changes, it is shared again and again as the thief's own encounter. Photographs are grabbed and videos photoshopped to reflect the made up or borrowed story.
