Speaker 11: Hello, Hello, everybody, Welcome back, everything out there. Steve Stocking
Speaker 11: with you here on the Clyde Lewis Round zero Radio network.
Speaker 11: That was the name of that song, Whispers of the
Speaker 11: Wilderness by blues Mavon Chantou's Rusty Lily White thinking about
Speaker 11: wild men in the woods, and that's what we're going
Speaker 11: to be talking about tonight. Joining me once again is
Speaker 11: ghost lore Caathita cat Gray herself. We're going to be
Speaker 11: talking about reports of wild men. I've got something from
Speaker 11: all over, but they seem to be prevalent in the
Speaker 11: Southern United States, especially in the Apple that's just the region.
Speaker 11: But let's bring Catheda on in here and see what
Speaker 11: she has to say to you. Think, how are you doing?
Speaker 11: And I Ghost good to have.
Speaker 1: You with us, pretty good, glad to be back. How
Speaker 1: are you doing good?
Speaker 11: Been been busy with the baby all day?
Speaker 1: Oh? Nothing better though.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And I wouldn't try the experience for anything.
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
Speaker 11: So nice. You know that we're both here with him
Speaker 11: all the time, and I would hate that if I
Speaker 11: had to leave and go to work and stuff like
Speaker 11: that and leave Mama here. And because it takes four
Speaker 11: hands sometimes and sometimes that's not even enough, he's a handful,
Speaker 11: but he's he's getting there. He's good, just a few
Speaker 11: days over two months old and holding his head up good.
Speaker 11: And he'll show you his tongue if you ask him.
Speaker 11: And uh, he laughs and he says hi. The night
Speaker 11: of the show and Henry Nelson came in and I said, hey,
Speaker 11: Henry Nelson, and I was holding holding in my lap
Speaker 11: and he's like hi, So he said, Henry Nelson too.
Speaker 11: He's going to be a show host like his dad,
Speaker 11: a narrator, storyteller.
Speaker 1: Well, I started saying, he is a Stockton so yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, and uh, people are trying to get me, you know,
Speaker 11: because I read to him my makeup stories and tell
Speaker 11: them and stuff. People trying to get me to start
Speaker 11: a channel of bedtime stories, and I may do that.
Speaker 11: I'm thinking about it, so we'll see. I may just
Speaker 11: make it a feature on Insomniac Radio Theater. I just
Speaker 11: played music over there, but radio theater that you know,
Speaker 11: that could include stories. So I already tell stories over
Speaker 11: on Tales Untold. But I've got some stories over there
Speaker 11: that you probably wouldn't want your kids to listen to
Speaker 11: when they're going to bed. It's assist fiction, you know.
Speaker 11: I got stuff about dog men and feral people and
Speaker 11: all that kind of stuff, so probably it wouldn't be
Speaker 11: a good.
Speaker 1: Fit listener discretion ad past.
Speaker 11: Yeah, so what's going on with you there?
Speaker 1: I'm straightening out that audio. I've been working on for
Speaker 1: that one little video. I got tony irons in the fire.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do other videos stuft the same time.
Speaker 1: I got flustered at that one because my equipment wasn't
Speaker 1: up to par exactly. But I sorted that stuff out
Speaker 1: and just about finished with that audio that I had
Speaker 1: you do. Uh, lay it back down and put some
Speaker 1: transitions and stuff in the video and wrap that up.
Speaker 11: Look forward to You had a good start there for
Speaker 11: me too, Me too, waiting for your next effort.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got a few loaded up ready, almost ready
Speaker 1: to go, but right behind that so good deal.
Speaker 11: I can't tonight. I thought we'd talked about wild men
Speaker 11: in the woods, wild men particularly in North America, But
Speaker 11: like I said, some of them are a majority of
Speaker 11: them seem to be in the South, but not all
Speaker 11: of them. But I found several examples here doing research, and.
Speaker 1: It's mostly wild men instead of like wild man that
Speaker 1: we may touch.
Speaker 11: On that they're singular there there it's a wild man,
Speaker 11: but there's yeah men. Does that that makes sense? There's
Speaker 11: more than you know the place. Necessarily.
Speaker 1: Wild man is not feral, but just not crypted, let's say,
Speaker 1: not crypted exactly it's.
Speaker 11: Hard to tell. There's a lot of overlap, there a
Speaker 11: lot of gray areas and stuff. But uh, if you
Speaker 11: go back, I've got a one account that lets me
Speaker 11: go back and look at the old newspapers and stuff background.
Speaker 1: Oh I love doing that and finding strange stories and stuff.
Speaker 11: There's there's all there's stuff back there that've just kind
Speaker 11: of been forgotten about it and that you don't hear
Speaker 11: about anymore. And there's lots of historical counts of wild men,
Speaker 11: and in North America they're all numerous and varied, and
Speaker 11: they appear to not only in the local papers, but
Speaker 11: in the folklore in these areas too. They're usually described
Speaker 11: as large, hairy humanoids inhabiting the wilderness and such. They
Speaker 11: share similarities with creatures like bigfoot of sasquatch, but I
Speaker 11: don't think they're mutually exclusive to each other. Every wild
Speaker 11: man is not a big foot, and every bigfoot is
Speaker 11: not a wild man per se.
Speaker 1: And to me, a wild man is more of a person,
Speaker 1: less of a crypti in or wild man, let's say,
Speaker 1: and wild man I see wild men two words. Is
Speaker 1: you know, more people, not cryptids in For me, wild
Speaker 1: wild man is like one word and more of sabbe
Speaker 1: or sasquatch related. That's my understanding.
Speaker 11: Yeah, And like I said, there are some that there's
Speaker 11: a guy on YouTube South Forest ten. He claims that
Speaker 11: they're they're feral, but that they're bigfoot human hybrids, and
Speaker 11: he claims that that that's what happened to Dennis Martin,
Speaker 11: that they took him and he also cleansed them back
Speaker 11: in the thirties before it was a national park, that
Speaker 11: the government hired some of his family to go in
Speaker 11: there and then these things out. And that's the containment
Speaker 11: theory that you've heard on belief Ale, where some of
Speaker 11: these national parks are put there to keep things in there.
Speaker 11: You know, they're not just for places people enjoy and visit,
Speaker 11: but they keep stuff from this case escaping rather and
Speaker 11: rinking havoc. On the general rural and I guess urban populations.
Speaker 1: I did read a little bit on like I think
Speaker 1: it's the Appalachi Trail. There's people that live up there.
Speaker 1: They're not necessarily feral, but people would suspect that they
Speaker 1: were because you know, they're frightened all of a sudden
Speaker 1: because they see some hairy hill billy. I guess you
Speaker 1: could say in the woods and they don't know what
Speaker 1: to do, and they think it's possibly a feral person.
Speaker 1: They're just mountain folk, hillbilly or rural you know. I mean,
Speaker 1: they don't think it's like living off the grid, you know.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So, but some of those folks prop would be probably
Speaker 1: being labeled as wild men a times now.
Speaker 11: I was on Star Fox Radio on his show over
Speaker 11: there a couple of nights ago, and we were talking
Speaker 11: about dog Man and stuff, and he found some evidence
Speaker 11: where some of those stories, not only dog Man, the
Speaker 11: sasquatch and some of these cryptids, big cats and things
Speaker 11: like that, in some areas, moonshiners had helped propagate those
Speaker 11: stories to keep people away from their moonshine. So I
Speaker 11: don't know, there's a hairy giant that'll get you, there's
Speaker 11: a dog that walks on the tin legs that'll tear
Speaker 11: you up, or even you know, a big bear or
Speaker 11: something like that. One of my relatives had a still
Speaker 11: and he made up a story about a rabid dog.
Speaker 11: And course, you know, you think about that, A rabbit
Speaker 11: dog not going to live that long. So I don't
Speaker 11: know if he had a new rabbit dog, he had
Speaker 11: an old bushel basket rigged up with a rope, had
Speaker 11: a white sheet tied over it, and anybody got too close,
Speaker 11: he'd pull that and they'd think it was a rabid dog.
Speaker 11: Also heard stories over Ventrice County about a headless woman
Speaker 11: that was seen around. But again, this guy was a moonshine.
Speaker 11: He swears up and down though that. Uh, he saw
Speaker 11: it not only once but twice that he and his
Speaker 11: friend they were walking back out of the woods where
Speaker 11: they had their moonshine still, and they sat down on
Speaker 11: a log to rest, and he kind of looked over
Speaker 11: at his friend. He said he'd gone white and his
Speaker 11: eyes were big, and he looked turned around to see
Speaker 11: what he was looking at. There sitting on the other
Speaker 11: end of the log next to him was a woman
Speaker 11: with no head. So they got up and ran out
Speaker 11: of there. And there's still some small they were sapling
Speaker 11: trees at that time, but they bent them over running
Speaker 11: through the woods and they're still growing.
Speaker 1: Roads were straightened out, too.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, just there with.
Speaker 11: A guy named Spade Hicks. He's a legend over there
Speaker 11: as a storyteller. They've made videos and books and things
Speaker 11: that he's in that he's a friend of my dad's
Speaker 11: and he told that for the gospel truth. And and
Speaker 11: then another night he was upstairs. He lived with his mother,
Speaker 11: and he was upstairs and I heard somebody coming up
Speaker 11: the stairs. He thought it was his mother. So the
Speaker 11: light coming up the stairs, she thought it was her
Speaker 11: with an oil lamp or a candle. He looked up
Speaker 11: and it was the same headless woman. So he jumped
Speaker 11: over the covers, covered his head up and started praying
Speaker 11: and stuff. Then when he picked out, it was gone.
Speaker 11: So and he's like, I was stone sober that time. Now,
Speaker 11: the other time he did that, they had been sampling
Speaker 11: the mash. But that time he said that I hadn't
Speaker 11: had a thing to drink. So who knows.
Speaker 1: In an unrelated little footnote side note, Moonshiner's you know
Speaker 1: their their county's finest in hot pursuit after them is
Speaker 1: what led to NASCAR. They would soup up the motors
Speaker 1: to out run the law and had fun doing it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, well that's how the started. Some of those old
Speaker 11: older Junior Johnson, some of those guys, they were like
Speaker 11: thunder Road with Robert Mincham and all that. They ran
Speaker 11: Moonshine and those souped of cars and then they decided, Hey,
Speaker 11: let's take them out to the track and see what
Speaker 11: they could do at a quarter mile oval. And they
Speaker 11: go or may not be maybe more than a quarter mile.
Speaker 11: I don't know. I used I went to the races
Speaker 11: one time in East Tennessee. Went to Atomic Speedway and loud.
Speaker 11: It was very very loud and very very dirty. A
Speaker 11: friend that I went with, he said, wears something that
Speaker 11: you don't mind running and I thought, ah, surely not.
Speaker 11: This was back in the eighties. I wore my acid
Speaker 11: washed jeans and other stuff, and I was filthy when
Speaker 11: I came out there.
Speaker 1: There's little bits of debris, it flies through the fence, rocks.
Speaker 11: And rocks, oil and stuff. I was absolutely I had
Speaker 11: to throw those jeans.
Speaker 1: Away and it was I think I was in Bristol.
Speaker 11: Yeah. Now I've heard that with the big NASCAR runs
Speaker 11: that they're even louder. Into mine called me for one time.
Speaker 11: He's like, guess where I am? And all I heard
Speaker 11: was this noise, and he said, I'm at Bristol.
Speaker 1: Every time a car would go by, zoom zoom, the
Speaker 1: it's like concrete stadium or something outdoors. Everything would vibrate
Speaker 1: and my chest would vibrate. I mean it was very loud.
Speaker 1: It was almost scary loud. You just want to get
Speaker 1: away from that.
Speaker 11: Yeah, like that. Yeah, my favorite party, going to the local.
Speaker 11: They had drag races too, and uh I.
Speaker 1: Liked the I've been a couple of those.
Speaker 11: The what do you call it? The demolition derby, Now
Speaker 11: that was fun. They also had a backwards car race
Speaker 11: that was a lot of fun. Some of those blew
Speaker 11: their engine caught on fire.
Speaker 1: I've into one or two monster truck.
Speaker 11: Bigfoot. I ever heard of one called Bigfoot mm hmm.
Speaker 11: Somewhere in North Carolina close to the coast over there.
Speaker 11: I took a ride in that. They had a place
Speaker 11: there where you can buy t shirts and merchandise are
Speaker 11: huge and they had to have a ladder to get
Speaker 11: up in there.
Speaker 1: You've probably heard the one how Gravedigger did I believe?
Speaker 11: I think What did I say? Did I say?
Speaker 1: Which?
Speaker 11: I think grave Digger was the one I wrote in
Speaker 11: I don't remember who I said anyway, but yeah, grave
Speaker 11: Digger was the one.
Speaker 1: What did you say?
Speaker 11: I don't know, I can't.
Speaker 1: My daughter says the same thing. Mom, I just told you.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, I'm getting old. Hunted. You just said it.
Speaker 11: But I'm sixty one, so there you go. But a
Speaker 11: grave digger.
Speaker 1: Was plus a bunch.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm thirty one with thirty years.
Speaker 1: And holding the.
Speaker 11: Great Gravedigger was the one. Well, anyway, we've got we've
Speaker 11: gotten off of me and you both drove a blank
Speaker 11: ran now in the weeds here. But let's get back
Speaker 11: to these wild men.
Speaker 1: Well, we have so much on our minds.
Speaker 11: We kind of got off into the stuff in the
Speaker 11: woods and the moonshiners, and then from there the NASCAR
Speaker 11: and anyway. But there was one particular account that I
Speaker 11: found here that just it's I can't picture this. They
Speaker 11: called it the wild Man of the Woods, and it's
Speaker 11: in the late eighteen hundreds, reports emerged from Caldwell County,
Speaker 11: North Carolina of a giant with a funnel shaped head.
Speaker 11: Now there's I found an illustration, but I don't see
Speaker 11: nothing that looks like a funnel. I don't know what
Speaker 11: they're talking. Funnel shaped head.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming that means cone shaped.
Speaker 11: Cone shaped or inverted funnelers, I don't know, and had
Speaker 11: the long, dark hair covered his body. Miners claimed to
Speaker 11: have seen this figure pounding his chest before disappearing into
Speaker 11: the woods, and there's a picture of it here, but
Speaker 11: it's I guess it's kind of maybe a big foot
Speaker 11: that didn't supposedly also a wow man who knows there's
Speaker 11: some overlap there, but a funnel shaped head and the
Speaker 11: drawing to the companies that doesn't. I don't see anything
Speaker 11: that looks like a funnel. I don't.
Speaker 1: Now there is reports and supposed photo evidence of where
Speaker 1: they have like a cone shaped head and their head
Speaker 1: is like if we're talking about, you know, bigfoot, the
Speaker 1: heads like forward set and almost down on like the shoulders,
Speaker 1: shoulder area, like no neck, but they have a coed head.
Speaker 11: The big foot that I saw in Sasquatch whatever it
Speaker 11: was in Saint Helens, Oregon, it was like that it
Speaker 11: didn't it's had just kind of sat on its shoulders
Speaker 11: there didn't have any discernible neck or anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's one picture I saw that really blew my mind.
Speaker 1: I thought it's very bizarre, and I thought, there's no
Speaker 1: way possible. You know that that is a suit that's
Speaker 1: not a person.
Speaker 11: Well that's what I thought. I thought of somebody like
Speaker 11: wearing a fur coat. But it was wet, but it
Speaker 11: wasn't raining or anything. It looked like it was shiny.
Speaker 11: The fur was shiny, and it was walking this big, wild,
Speaker 11: swinging gate and I thought, I'm going to go out
Speaker 11: there and take a look at that. I was down
Speaker 11: in my driveway and there's about a block or so
Speaker 11: from the main street there. Now, this was in a
Speaker 11: semi rural area, and I saw it under the street
Speaker 11: light there, and I watched it across the street and
Speaker 11: walked in front of stop sign, and I'm going to
Speaker 11: go up there and take a look at that. And
Speaker 11: I heard my granny's voice in my head saying, what
Speaker 11: you better do is get your butt in the house
Speaker 11: and don't go don't.
Speaker 1: Go messing around. Yeah, well, I'll re reiterate what I said.
Speaker 1: They're not. They may be a people, but it didn't
Speaker 1: look like a person as we know, would recognize each
Speaker 1: other as a person, you know, even if they're people.
Speaker 1: There were being eight people, so, but they look very
Speaker 1: different than your typical strictly homo sapien human.
Speaker 11: I went up there the next day where I saw
Speaker 11: it walking front of the stop sign. Now it would
Speaker 11: have been on the sidewalk or I think it's out
Speaker 11: in the road. But I watched it walk in front
Speaker 11: of the stop sign. I went up there. The stop
Speaker 11: sign was a lot higher up on the post than
Speaker 11: I thought it was. I went back to the house
Speaker 11: and got a tape measure. That thing would have had
Speaker 11: to been about eight or nine feet tall.
Speaker 1: This is the middle of.
Speaker 11: The stop side.
Speaker 1: This isn't when you were at the bus stop and
Speaker 1: you runt front of the car.
Speaker 11: No, that story on Portland that was some sort of
Speaker 11: humanoid look or whatever they call it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember that one.
Speaker 11: This was in Saint Helens Organ Halloween Town. Have you
Speaker 11: ever seen those Disney movies. That's where it was shot
Speaker 11: and filmed, and the whole town takes over for the
Speaker 11: month of October. They really have Halloween. If there in
Speaker 11: the Marnie from the movie is Halloween Town? Movies? Is
Speaker 11: the Grand Marshall, the Halloween Parade. It's a big to
Speaker 11: do in Saint Helen's.
Speaker 1: Well. As you know, a lot of people call me cat,
Speaker 1: so I figured i'd throw this one out there. Legend
Speaker 1: of the wampus Cat.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The wampus cat is a creature deeply embedded in a
Speaker 1: pleatic folklore, often portrayed as a half woman and half
Speaker 1: cat entity. It's said to stop the woods at nights,
Speaker 1: seeking vengeance or wondering lost. Various accounts describe it is
Speaker 1: emitting a haunting scream that echoes through the mountains. Legend
Speaker 1: says as a cautionary tale, warning against straying too far
Speaker 1: from safety and the consequences of crossing boundaries. So don't
Speaker 1: stray too far from home. Cat might get you. Half cat,
Speaker 1: half woman.
Speaker 11: And it's got that walks on forward, and it has
Speaker 11: two more can claw you with or something like that.
Speaker 11: I covered it in the video one time, the Legends
Speaker 11: of the Appalachian Trail. But I found another one here.
Speaker 11: This is This sounds like somebody that went fair. Uh,
Speaker 11: Thomas Foley. This one even has a name. In eighteen
Speaker 11: seventy one, a wild man that's in quotes was captured
Speaker 11: near Morgantown, West Virginia. He is described as being covered
Speaker 11: in rags and resembling a gorilla. He claimed his name
Speaker 11: was Thomas Foley, an irishman who had fled to the wilderness.
Speaker 11: After being captured and clothed, he escaped back into the
Speaker 11: mountains and that that's all I can find out about him. Slick,
Speaker 11: whatn't maybe he just wanted to let's see if this
Speaker 11: I found something. This is I don't know where this
Speaker 11: is from. I found a newspaper article.
Speaker 1: I've got a similar Okay, you may be wild man.
Speaker 11: After desperate fight, Warden Finton captured a wild man single
Speaker 11: handed in the timber near Empworth Park at nine o'clock
Speaker 11: this morning. A skirmish in the brush between the unknown
Speaker 11: and the warden resulted in the overpower of the former.
Speaker 11: He is now in the County jail. A little before
Speaker 11: nine o'clock, al Blair telephoned the warden that a wildman
Speaker 11: was hiding under the Union Pacific Bridge west of the prison.
Speaker 11: The man had left his hiding but was tracked into
Speaker 11: the timber in a pile of brush. The warden discovered
Speaker 11: this man. As the warden appeared, the wild man made
Speaker 11: a lunge with a long club. Warden Fenton pulled his
Speaker 11: gun and ordered the manda surrender. A search of the
Speaker 11: pockets indicate the wil's man name was Mont, His hair
Speaker 11: was tazzled, his shirt was torn, and as general appearance
Speaker 11: was that of a wildman. He made no statement and
Speaker 11: put up a vigorous resistance. He was first taken to
Speaker 11: the asylum. It was stated that he had been an
Speaker 11: inmate there, but was released some four months ago. The
Speaker 11: warden brought the man to town and turned him over
Speaker 11: to Sheriff Hires. He is believed to be the man
Speaker 11: having entered a home in Omaha and threatened a woman
Speaker 11: and her children by pulling a gun on them. He
Speaker 11: is said to be a dope fate. Quote. The man
Speaker 11: is crazy and dangerous end quote, said the warden after
Speaker 11: his experience of the early morning. Mont is about thirty
Speaker 11: years old. And I see that doesn't That doesn't sound
Speaker 11: like my idea of a while man. That's just some
Speaker 11: crazy person in the woods. Of course, who's to say, yeah,
Speaker 11: you got another one there?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I could find my notes here. It was one
Speaker 1: kind of about propaganda I had told you about. I'll
Speaker 1: just skip it for now, but yeah, I do have
Speaker 1: another one here. Okay, Now there's some you know in
Speaker 1: Tennessee too. I wanted to talk about. Let's see if
Speaker 1: I can find one of those. If I can, you
Speaker 1: were talking about the one in Kentucky, I believe nineteen hundred, Okay,
Speaker 1: the wild Man of the Woods. In the early nineteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: a man was said to inhabit the forest of Kentucky,
Speaker 1: with reports of a large hairy figure stealing livestock and
Speaker 1: invading capture. So that may be the very one that
Speaker 1: they were after, one.
Speaker 11: In North Carolina and one in West Virginia. So there,
Speaker 11: now it's Kentucky, and I think I saw that one
Speaker 11: somewhere about him.
Speaker 1: There's the hairy Man of the Appalachia Trail. Hikers along
Speaker 1: the Appalachian Trail have often shared tales of encounters with
Speaker 1: wild man like With a wild man like figure descriptions very,
Speaker 1: but many recount a large hairy creature watching them from
Speaker 1: a distance or making strange noises that night. One hiker
Speaker 1: describes seeing hulking, lurking shadows dart between the trees, causing
Speaker 1: a sense of dread. These stories high out they allure
Speaker 1: and fear of the wilderness, suggesting that nature still holds
Speaker 1: many secrets.
Speaker 11: Found another one here Bennington, Vermont. The wild Man that's
Speaker 11: not too far from where I'm at. In the spring
Speaker 11: of eighteen sixty seven, a wild man was repeatedly cited
Speaker 11: around Bennington, Vermont. He was said to lurk in the
Speaker 11: forest during the day and roam at night, often following
Speaker 11: women and peeking into their windows. I don't know, that
Speaker 11: must just be a peeping tom. But some of these,
Speaker 11: I mean, they're just so scant information on it. Don't
Speaker 11: really know. It's just a little blurb in the paper
Speaker 11: there and go ahead, you got another one.
Speaker 1: Yeah you. I don't hear this too much, but I
Speaker 1: have heard of it. I guarantee you. Of the moon
Speaker 1: eight people, oh yeah, I.
Speaker 11: Talked to I've had in one of my Appalachian Trail videos.
Speaker 11: The Yeah, what do you got about them?
Speaker 1: Cherokee folklore speaks of the Moonlight people, described as small
Speaker 1: pillbeings with large eyes that could see in the dark.
Speaker 1: According to legend, they lived in caves and where and
Speaker 1: were sorry known to be shy, avoiding contact with humans.
Speaker 1: The story suggests a deep connection between the land and
Speaker 1: its original inhabitants, reflecting themes of coexistence in the supernatural
Speaker 1: presence believed to inhabit the mountains.
Speaker 11: Interesting, Yeah, I covered that briefly. There's a there's a
Speaker 11: museum somewhere there that's got a statue. It looks like
Speaker 11: a couple of them, And there's I think they lived
Speaker 11: in caves. There's something not have to go back and
Speaker 11: watch that video. Nicole did a bunch of research on
Speaker 11: it for that video that I made, but our in
Speaker 11: storing stuff.
Speaker 1: Every time I do read.
Speaker 11: That we came out at night or something like that.
Speaker 1: Every time I do see that title, though I don't
Speaker 1: know why, it just makes me recall the story of
Speaker 1: those kids. The I think it's a boy and a girl,
Speaker 1: brother and sister. Were they? I used to get the
Speaker 1: color wrong. They were blue? Blue people or green people?
Speaker 11: Where was this aunt?
Speaker 1: I wanna say Tennessee or Virginia.
Speaker 11: That's sparkling remember the story?
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, they were. I think one maybe passed and
Speaker 1: they didn't speak an English language.
Speaker 11: Was that the green children of wolfut and from the UK?
Speaker 1: I thought they were in the States. Maybe they we're
Speaker 1: some blue I don't know.
Speaker 11: There may be some here too. We'll have to research
Speaker 11: those as well, of people of different colored strange pigment
Speaker 11: skin green blue.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what state it was in, but I
Speaker 1: think I always assumed that it's like maybe some weird
Speaker 1: vitamin deficiency. I know that they was.
Speaker 11: There used to be a picture of a guy that
Speaker 11: was as blue as a smurf, and he'd overdone it
Speaker 11: with a coloidial silver and it turned him blue. That
Speaker 11: was the story anyway, And find that picture on the internet.
Speaker 1: Is that what was in the death clocks? Now? That
Speaker 1: was probably mercury. There's some clocks that were called the
Speaker 1: death clocks, the really ornate, intricate, beautiful clocks. I think
Speaker 1: the poem show that was on television Pound Stars, I
Speaker 1: think they have one in the shop. But I believe
Speaker 1: it's like mercury poisoning or something. The traders of them
Speaker 1: and some of.
Speaker 11: The older clocks with the glow in the dark hands
Speaker 11: had not uranium or the ranium, some geranium or something
Speaker 11: I don't know, that blow in the dark, and the
Speaker 11: women would lick the paint brush that would pain numbers
Speaker 11: and the hands. Is that they ended up a lot
Speaker 11: of weird diseases and cancers and stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like radiation. And yeah, there their.
Speaker 11: Face when I was a kid. You can get in
Speaker 11: the dark and look at it under magnifying glass and
Speaker 11: you can see those little things moving around on there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean if anybody can remember just seeing the
Speaker 1: little strips of the little glow in the dark things
Speaker 1: on the clocks or even on your watch, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: they were They didn't want the paint to get dry.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they would put it in their mouth and
Speaker 1: they thought it was safe. Oh no, it was. It
Speaker 1: was very bad.
Speaker 11: Well, that was like Okris National Laboratory where my dad worked.
Speaker 11: They had a guy that he knew in a room
Speaker 11: dipping with a scoop, and it just so happened that
Speaker 11: this guy didn't react to him. Because you could hold
Speaker 11: up barrillium in the palm of your hand, you could
Speaker 11: go in a room and blow it and great enough
Speaker 11: dust to kill everybody in the room. But this guy,
Speaker 11: they had him are dipping it with a scoop and
Speaker 11: didn't have a breathing apparatus or anything on. But just
Speaker 11: he was one of the fortunate people that it didn't affect.
Speaker 11: There's all kinds of stuff like that. My dad talked
Speaker 11: about when they used a lot of mercury out there
Speaker 11: for stuff that they're working on, talk about sometimes they
Speaker 11: would they would leak, and he said he's waited in
Speaker 11: mercury up over his shoe tops before, but that wasn't
Speaker 11: what got him. He left to be almost eighty two
Speaker 11: years old.
Speaker 1: Do you have us We're here in my notes from
Speaker 1: let's see what's my source here? ABC? News oh See
Speaker 1: February twenty second, twelve. Benjamin Benji Stacey so frightened maternity
Speaker 1: doctors with the color of his skin. It was described
Speaker 1: as blue as Lake Louise. He was rushed just hours
Speaker 1: after his birth in nineteen seventy five. February twenty second,
Speaker 1: twenty twelve was the report. They touched back up on
Speaker 1: it later. Hours after his birth in nineteen seventy five,
Speaker 1: he was rushed through the University of Kentucky Medical Center
Speaker 1: as a transfusion was being ready. The baby's grandmother suggested
Speaker 1: the doctors that he looked like the blue futured blue
Speaker 1: fugitives of Troublesome Creek. Relatives described the boy his grandmother
Speaker 1: blew all over and the bluest woman I'd ever saw.
Speaker 11: Strange.
Speaker 1: It's got to do with genetics. In this case, an
Speaker 1: entire family from isolated Apple that was tinged blue. Their
Speaker 1: ancestral line began six generations earlier with a French orphan,
Speaker 1: Martin Fugut, who settled in eastern Kentucky. Doctors don't see
Speaker 1: much of their rare blood is word today because Mountain
Speaker 1: people have dispersed and the family gene pool is much
Speaker 1: more diverse. That explains that.
Speaker 11: I was just going to search here on blue skinned people. Yeah,
Speaker 11: I talked about the Blue few Gates of Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 11: This is caused position called themo global anemia, which bloody
Speaker 11: carried the hochgen giving the skin of blue tins. The
Speaker 11: condition was caused by a combination of genetic factors and
Speaker 11: inbreeding within the isolated community. While not harmful in itself,
Speaker 11: themo global globalemia can cause other health issues if the
Speaker 11: level and the blood is too high. In the case
Speaker 11: of the Blue Fewgates, the doctor in the nineteen sixties
Speaker 11: was able to treat their condition with methylne blue, which
Speaker 11: helped to restore their skin color to a normal tone.
Speaker 11: Sound like you just painted them. While there are other
Speaker 11: fictional portrayals of blue skinned people, such as the Nova Avatar,
Speaker 11: the Novits are in Avatar, the blue Fugates are the
Speaker 11: most well known in real life example. And you know
Speaker 11: in the Hindu religion or some of those Indian religions,
Speaker 11: some of those deities up here as blue skinned.
Speaker 1: I found that big one word myth. Maybe I had
Speaker 1: it in my head. I swear did methema me and
Speaker 1: mia is a disorder abnormal amount of the thema Goblin
Speaker 1: globlin the form of hemo Goblin. Yeah. Now for the
Speaker 1: Blue People of Troublesome Creek. Now, that was published in
Speaker 1: eighty two, nineteen eighty two by the un City of Danas,
Speaker 1: and the skin is almost purple.
Speaker 11: If everybody wants to read farther about that. There's a
Speaker 11: site called the Collector all one word the collector dot
Speaker 11: com that has an article about the Blue few Gates,
Speaker 11: Kentucky's written by Madison Whipple, who has a BA in
Speaker 11: history of the Spanish minor. It says here, uh, it
Speaker 11: goes into the origin of the family and interesting stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 11: we're just all over the place here. Let's see, let's
Speaker 11: go back in. Oh, that's my place here in my
Speaker 11: wow Man research. I had another let's see. Actually I've
Speaker 11: got several more.
Speaker 1: But yeah, we have a lot.
Speaker 11: This one. I'd covered this and no, that's a different one.
Speaker 11: The Wildman in the Genesee River Valley in New York.
Speaker 11: Back in the eighteen thirties and eighteen forties, excuse me,
Speaker 11: newspapers in Western New York were filled with stories about
Speaker 11: a wildman roaming the Genesee River Valley. The figure was
Speaker 11: often described as incredibly tall and strong, with glowing eyes,
Speaker 11: and was saggerated farms and terrified locals. Some folks believe
Speaker 11: he was a hermit driven mad by isolation, while others
Speaker 11: whispered he was something more inhuman. So again, that glowing eyes,
Speaker 11: I mean, that's not a human thing. People don't have
Speaker 11: that eye shine, but the bigfoot does, and you know
Speaker 11: the animals of the woods have that, So I don't know.
Speaker 11: That was kind of scary. Sounds like a bigfoot. So
Speaker 11: we're kind of getting that overlap again. Are they bigfoot,
Speaker 11: are they men? Or are they both?
Speaker 1: They cross over because you know people's up there out
Speaker 1: in the seeing where they see things wherever they see them,
Speaker 1: the woods or like you saw one on the street. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, if they just need a haircut, they you
Speaker 1: might think it's a big food. It depends on how
Speaker 1: long to be in the mountains.
Speaker 11: I saw one of my neighbors here the other day.
Speaker 11: I had on a wig and a fur coat, and
Speaker 11: I thought I looked like a sasquatch. Well here's another
Speaker 11: one from the Connecticut, New York area. It's called the
Speaker 11: leather Man. Now he's not really a loud man, but
Speaker 11: it's just a weird figure that I covered him in
Speaker 11: my uh I think a dark Tales from Every State
Speaker 11: or something. I'm doing a series of there, and that's
Speaker 11: a really intriguing case. F eighteen hundreds. The leather Man,
Speaker 11: as he was known, wasn't exactly described as hairri er
Speaker 11: eight likee ape like, but he definitely fit the wild
Speaker 11: man archetype. He was a wonder who traveled a three
Speaker 11: hundred and sixty mile loop through Connecticut New York for
Speaker 11: over thirty years. He wore clothes made entirely of pieces
Speaker 11: of leather that he had patched together himself. He's leapt
Speaker 11: in caves and under rock overhangs, and communicated in grunts
Speaker 11: and gestures. No one ever learned his true identity or
Speaker 11: where he came from. And there was you know, back
Speaker 11: in that time period, you had people that just wandered around,
Speaker 11: and hobos and tramps and things like that makes you wonder,
Speaker 11: but not necessarily a wild man, or that sounds more
Speaker 11: like somebody that went fairal but certainly not to be
Speaker 11: confused with a big Foot of some of the other
Speaker 11: wild men we've been talking about. Now I've got one
Speaker 11: more here. This is the first one of these. I've
Speaker 11: come across not a wild man, but a wild woman,
Speaker 11: the wild woman of the San Joaquin Valley in California. Now,
Speaker 11: while most of these stories of wild men stories focus
Speaker 11: on male figures, there are some exceptions, and here's one.
Speaker 11: In the eighteen fifties, California newspapers reported sightings of a
Speaker 11: wild woman living in the San Joaquin Valley. She was
Speaker 11: described as having a long, matted hair, said to be
Speaker 11: incredibly fast and agile. Some accounts claimed she'd been kidnapped
Speaker 11: by Native Americans as a child and raised in the wild.
Speaker 11: So that's don't hear about too many wild women in
Speaker 11: the woods like that. Anyway, if you're talking, you can
Speaker 11: think I can't hear you.
Speaker 1: I'm here. I thought my dog was going to bark,
Speaker 1: so I had muted there. There's one here is from
Speaker 1: spooky Appalachia. It is, uh, the wood Booger of North Georgia.
Speaker 11: Yeah, now boogers. That's kind of a Southern thing there. Uh,
Speaker 11: there's there's wood boogers, and there's rud atches.
Speaker 1: And let's the other nuns. Yeah, all kinds of superstitions.
Speaker 11: Like, yeah, talking about why they contact She's like, it'll
Speaker 11: run at you. But now, according to some research that
Speaker 11: I did when I was because that was gonna be
Speaker 11: the titles as episodes while men and wood boogers, it's
Speaker 11: essentially an Appalachian version of Bigfoot or sasquatch, but not
Speaker 11: in all cases. And it's a colorful term. Thats the
Speaker 11: local dialect and there in the South. But it does
Speaker 11: add a touch of mystery, I add fear to the creature.
Speaker 11: Here's what people typically say about the wood burger. It's
Speaker 11: a tall, hairy ape like often with here we go again,
Speaker 11: glowing red eyes, habitats and deep woods, mountains areas, often
Speaker 11: near caves or rocky outcroppings. It's a very elusive, mostly nocturnal,
Speaker 11: sometimes mischievous or even aggressive uh that produces loud house
Speaker 11: screams and wood knocks. Again, sounds like a bigfoot, and
Speaker 11: it's particularly associated with the Appalachian regions of Virginia, North Carolina,
Speaker 11: and West Virginia. In fact, the town of Norton, Virginia,
Speaker 11: has even declared itself a wood Booger Sanctuary. They have
Speaker 11: a large wood booger statue and even host an annual
Speaker 11: wood Booger festival. How much wood would a wood burger
Speaker 11: will I'm trying to do something there. How much wood
Speaker 11: would a wood booger booger? If a wood booger good
Speaker 11: booger would there? You go?
Speaker 1: There you go? You got it? You got it out?
Speaker 11: I get it anyway.
Speaker 1: This account is of a wood booger, which is, you know,
Speaker 1: just another name for something spooky, mostly bigfoot, but you
Speaker 1: know it could be a wild man. It's the south
Speaker 1: west Virginia area, notably in Norton City and Wise County.
Speaker 1: According to a newspaper from the Old Posts on November
Speaker 1: twenty fourth, eighteen ninety two, the creature was given the
Speaker 1: name Woodbooger after the Boogieman, because it was rumored to
Speaker 1: carry off children who wandered off into the woods. Not
Speaker 1: If you go to Norton, Virginia these days, you'll see
Speaker 1: many attractions featuring the Woodbooger monster, including a restaurant called
Speaker 1: the Woodbooger Grill and a statue located in the Flag
Speaker 1: Rock Recreation Area. You can also go on a wood
Speaker 1: Booger guided search HAC and there's even a Woodburger festival.
Speaker 11: Yeah, it was that the one in Norton, Virginia that
Speaker 11: I was. I think we covered in North Georgia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, there's little more to it.
Speaker 11: Yeah, wood are not as rare in some places.
Speaker 1: This TV show that created a lot of the popularity
Speaker 1: found it.
Speaker 11: In the Mountain Monsters. I think they talked about.
Speaker 1: The wood funding finding Bigfoot. They did an episode in
Speaker 1: the area from Wise County. The video is referred to
Speaker 1: as the Beast of Gum Chewing Gum. The Beast of
Speaker 1: Gum heell. A man was riding an ATV through a
Speaker 1: river back in two thousand and nine when the creature
Speaker 1: walked out in front of him. He stopped and pointed
Speaker 1: as it walked slowly away. He claimed in the video
Speaker 1: description that it is the second time he had seen
Speaker 1: the creature. The show also noted that there weren't a
Speaker 1: lot of known reports of sidings in the area, but
Speaker 1: while calling a town hall meeting, it was discovered that
Speaker 1: many people had encounters that were not officially documented, so
Speaker 1: that area became a little hot bed.
Speaker 11: I guess, yeah, let's see, I had another one here.
Speaker 11: It seems like the wrong The wild Man of Crowley's Ridge,
Speaker 11: which was in Arkansas in the early nineteen hundreds. A
Speaker 11: series of strange encounters were reported around Crowley's Ridge in
Speaker 11: Arkansas might be Crowley's Ridge One or the other. People
Speaker 11: describe seeing a large, hairy creature, again with glowing red
Speaker 11: eyes that would let out terrifying screams. This wild man
Speaker 11: was blamed for livestock mutilations and even attacks on people.
Speaker 11: Some suggested it was a gorilla escape from a traveling circus.
Speaker 11: I've heard those excuses before, while others believed it was
Speaker 11: a creature that is unknown to science aka Bigfoot or
Speaker 11: sasqua or what do you want to call it.
Speaker 1: There was a mountain man in Virginia in the nineteen fifties.
Speaker 1: Stories circulated about a mountain man living in the remote
Speaker 1: areas of Virginia. He was described as scruffy and elusive.
Speaker 1: He was known to forage for food and avoid human contact.
Speaker 1: Look was reported seeing strange currences. So they also had
Speaker 1: missing list talk they found my serious footprints. This figure
Speaker 1: symbolizes tension between the civilization and wild as well as
Speaker 1: a lure of leaving off the grid. I may have
Speaker 1: read that already, but it was also tied into another
Speaker 1: one here from Virginia. M I should have marked that
Speaker 1: one off.
Speaker 11: Yeah, some of these that I found. It was kind
Speaker 11: of mixed in together, they'd have a wild man report
Speaker 11: and then a big foot report.
Speaker 1: Okay, here it is what you got there, the hairy
Speaker 1: beasts of Now. I don't know how you say this.
Speaker 1: Monta Ga Gaelia Gaela Gaelia m o n o n
Speaker 1: g a h e l A Mona Gaya National Forest
Speaker 1: in West Virginia. In the late nineteen eighties, visitors to
Speaker 1: the national forests reported encounters with a large, hairy creature
Speaker 1: that seemed to move silently through the trees. Witnesses noted
Speaker 1: it's enormous size and the unsettling feeling of being watched.
Speaker 1: Some hikers claim to have heard deep growls and branches
Speaker 1: snapping in the distance. These encounters contributed to the ongoing, ongoing,
Speaker 1: ongoing lure of wild men in the region, highlighting it's
Speaker 1: the lure of the untamed wilderness.
Speaker 11: Monongohela.
Speaker 1: There we go. Thank you.
Speaker 11: I knew, I knew how to say it, but I
Speaker 11: had to see it before I could say it. But yeah,
Speaker 11: Longa Haela is. I've been closer there with George Washington
Speaker 11: Jeffson National Forest, which is just south of there, but
Speaker 11: I had I heard the tree knocks and the yips
Speaker 11: and the owls and stuff. When I was in the
Speaker 11: Jefferson National Forest and something through rocks at me. I
Speaker 11: think it is a big foot. I don't think to
Speaker 11: scare me. I think it's trying to warm me. There
Speaker 11: was probably a bear or a big cat, because I
Speaker 11: was in there about two o'clock in the morning hiking,
Speaker 11: and probably something that I didn't want to run into
Speaker 11: out there, and the big voot was trying to get
Speaker 11: me to turn around and go the other way. That's
Speaker 11: that's my story and I'm sticking to it. That's what
Speaker 11: I did, and it quit throwing rocks at me.
Speaker 1: So did we cover the backwoods Booger of Tennessee yet?
Speaker 1: I don't think that's familiar. In the nineteen eighties, a
Speaker 1: series of encounters were reported in rural Tennessee of a
Speaker 1: creature referred to as the backwoods Booger. Descriptions varied, but
Speaker 1: many witnesses claimed it was a large, hairy fear that
Speaker 1: would raid gardens and trash cans. Some residents reported hearing
Speaker 1: a chilling hell at night, which added to the sense
Speaker 1: of anees for sure. These accounts illustrate ongoing belief in
Speaker 1: while man among local communities and their connection to nature.
Speaker 1: Now that sounds familiar. I may have read that one already,
Speaker 1: So to make up for wasting time on that, I
Speaker 1: will say this. I haven't conferred with the person to
Speaker 1: I hadn't planned on mentioning it on here, but so
Speaker 1: I'm not going to say their name. But something was
Speaker 1: saw in my own yard just four or five nights ago,
Speaker 1: massive humanoid shadow an irritated grunt and it sounded like
Speaker 1: a beat on its chest like uh, you know, like
Speaker 1: it's just pretty mad, and turned the shadow.
Speaker 11: Sure you wasn't what the ghost there?
Speaker 1: Oh, that was my mom's. But the shadow that was seen,
Speaker 1: he couldn't see the figure, just the shadow, and it
Speaker 1: walked away, and you could he could hear the leaves
Speaker 1: and stuff. He said that you could hear like when
Speaker 1: it went under the branches. It was so tall that
Speaker 1: it was hitting the branches and all the dew was
Speaker 1: dropping down like a rain shower. He could hear just
Speaker 1: the rain, like rain the do coming off the tree
Speaker 1: limbs and stuff. He said it had to be ten
Speaker 1: foot tall. And I overheard this conversation the next next day,
Speaker 1: like why didn't you tell me about the time I
Speaker 1: was saying that they said I didn't tell her about it.
Speaker 1: I'd be said, I'm not going out there at dark.
Speaker 1: I wish you had told me this yesterday. I could have,
Speaker 1: you know, or before dark today, I could have went
Speaker 1: out looked, you know, But there's nothing out there. There's
Speaker 1: too much leaf cover. And I was hoping maybe some
Speaker 1: odd tough of hair or something, but no, I'm not
Speaker 1: going out there thout some sort of dog.
Speaker 11: Did they alert to it or some day or out there.
Speaker 1: I usually don't take them around back. A lot of
Speaker 1: times in the summer it's pitch black out there, like
Speaker 1: just in a cave a mile on a ground black.
Speaker 1: But now right now, where there's no leaves on the trees,
Speaker 1: there's some houses and street lights and stuff up on
Speaker 1: the hillside that shine completely down through here through the trees.
Speaker 1: And whatever he heard was down here in the backyard
Speaker 1: and was going up towards their house. So the strange
Speaker 1: thing is, how big was that down here where it's
Speaker 1: casting the shadow? It wasn't up there casting a shadow
Speaker 1: down to make it look larger. Plus the tree branches
Speaker 1: were being hit because of the rain and down, so
Speaker 1: you know, little details like that I find pretty credible.
Speaker 11: So yeah, those little tells like that, and then it
Speaker 11: gives them.
Speaker 1: And they were pretty spooked. I mean, they didn't want
Speaker 1: to talk about it. But he talked to a fellow friend.
Speaker 1: Uh maybe he has a story. Maybe they confided in
Speaker 1: each other. I don't know. But he didn't know how
Speaker 1: to tell me or what to tell me. You know.
Speaker 1: I was like, are you serious, gun amacum, huh. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've had some strange things happened around this little place.
Speaker 11: Yeah, let's see here. I found another one here at
Speaker 11: the Wildman of the Navidad or Novedad River in Texas.
Speaker 11: In the eighteen thirties, or ports service of a wildman
Speaker 11: living along the Navadad River in Texas. He was described
Speaker 11: as immensely strong, covered in hair, and capable of leaping
Speaker 11: incredible distances. One of the things whispered that it was
Speaker 11: he was some type of man monkey unknown to science
Speaker 11: about red eyeshine. But there you go.
Speaker 1: Have you heard of the woods devil of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 11: I don't think it's on my list. Let's hear about it.
Speaker 1: I haven't heard of this one either. In the early
Speaker 1: two thousands, residents near the Allegheny Mountains reported sightings of
Speaker 1: a woods devil, described as a large, shaggy creature that
Speaker 1: resembled a wild man. Reports included sightings of it moving
Speaker 1: stealthily through the trees, often at night, with witnesses claiming
Speaker 1: to hear strange vocalizations. The woods devil became a modern
Speaker 1: embodiment of Apalachri folklore. It reflects fears and mysteries inherent
Speaker 1: in rural life. You know, I guess just another story
Speaker 1: about behave after dark. You know, like your granny would say,
Speaker 1: you're getting your book back in the house.
Speaker 11: I mind to tell you there's I haint never hollering there.
Speaker 11: You go be quiet after it got dark. Don't don't
Speaker 11: get out. If you had like a street light or
Speaker 11: sometime there, don't get out of the streetlight, or if
Speaker 11: you had the blood lights or whatever driveway and the
Speaker 11: outdoor lights, don't get beyond where that light shine. And
Speaker 11: I'm still that way to this day.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, the woods seem to breathe a little
Speaker 1: deeper and come a little more alive. Not even though
Speaker 1: it's like it can be a lot less. It can
Speaker 1: be quieter unless you hear something freaky like a big
Speaker 1: foot or a wild man in your woods. I'd rather
Speaker 1: hear you know, all the live stock were the wildlife.
Speaker 1: Whatever's in the woods in the daytime, anytime, even though
Speaker 1: it's annoying little wood hens.
Speaker 11: Dark and in the dark.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Yeah, beasts are nocturnal and they like to get out
Speaker 11: and me lay cattle and chickens and things like that
Speaker 11: after dark.
Speaker 1: Oh it's like that phrase. I know you like it,
Speaker 1: but I like it too, something to the nature of
Speaker 1: be careful of peering into the darkness or fear what
Speaker 1: may be staring back at you. I forget who who's
Speaker 1: quoted that.
Speaker 11: His knee chair. When you peer into the abyss, the
Speaker 11: abyss also appears into you.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 11: And that's a caution against looking into things that are
Speaker 11: too dark, because you're going to attract the dark back
Speaker 11: to you.
Speaker 1: I have one here that is from Beach Mountain in
Speaker 1: North Carolina, the wild Man of Beach County, North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Throughout the nineteen eighties, report surface from Beach Mountain of
Speaker 1: a wild man seen scavenging in the woods. Witnesses describe
Speaker 1: him as tall and rugged, with an with unkempt hair
Speaker 1: and animal skins for clothing. Campers recounted eerie knights filled
Speaker 1: with strange noises and rustling in the underbrush, leading to
Speaker 1: many leading many to believe that they were being watched.
Speaker 1: This figure became a local legend and brought up primal fears.
Speaker 1: You know, people were very afraid of that one.
Speaker 11: That sounds more like a feral human, our actual wild man,
Speaker 11: more so than a sasquatch or Bigfoot.
Speaker 1: There's a swamp man as well, this one we go
Speaker 1: to Virginia, swamp Man of the Great Dismal Swamp. In
Speaker 1: the nineteen nineties, residents near the Great Dismal Swamp began
Speaker 1: sharing stories of a swamp man, a feral figure who
Speaker 1: was said to inhabit the marshy areas. Descriptions picked at
Speaker 1: him as dirty, with long hair and a wild demeanor.
Speaker 1: Loc was claimed he would appear at the edges of
Speaker 1: the swamp, often at dusk, frightening those who ventured too close.
Speaker 1: He lurked mysteriously in the shadows after you know, after that.
Speaker 11: Great Dismal Swamp, some war soldiers that marched in there
Speaker 11: and never came back out. And Cisco's got some stories
Speaker 11: about that place that she'd encountered going do there. I
Speaker 11: think that's where she saw her baby Bigfoot too, was
Speaker 11: near the Great Dismal Swamp and where something crawled out
Speaker 11: the swamp and got under their car.
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to talk about this one while,
Speaker 1: and then I'll sort my stuff out while you share
Speaker 1: what I've got to work some stuff off here so
Speaker 1: we don't repeat it again here. The Beast of Bald Mountain,
Speaker 1: North Carolina. In the nineteen seventies, reas Dance near Bald
Speaker 1: Mountain reported sightings of a large, hairy creature that would
Speaker 1: run the forest that night. Descriptions included glowing eyes and
Speaker 1: a powerful, powerful build, often accompanied by unsettling groulse. Locals
Speaker 1: claimed it would steal live stock and leave behind large footprints,
Speaker 1: igniting a wave of fear and fascination in the community,
Speaker 1: and The tales of the Beasts of Bod Mountain reflect
Speaker 1: region's deep connection to its wilderness and mists that arise
Speaker 1: from encounters with the.
Speaker 11: Unknown spooky stuff.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, I mean that one big garden crowd.
Speaker 11: You don't hear them going after capitalists so much. I
Speaker 11: wonder if that was just you know, the thing back then,
Speaker 11: or if you just don't hear about it nowadays. I
Speaker 11: mean people still have cows and stuff. You think if
Speaker 11: they ever stolen eight cows or any of livestock, they
Speaker 11: still would.
Speaker 1: I don't really hear about a lot of livestock. I
Speaker 1: do hear. There's a guy I'll watch on YouTube people
Speaker 1: send in their bigfoot savvey sasquatch buttings, encounters that one
Speaker 1: was a few of the random things that's considered we will,
Speaker 1: let's say, or cryptid or UFO. But he reads their
Speaker 1: emails and stuff, and I hear a lot of people
Speaker 1: still claiming that their chickens will be taken. Another YouTuber claimed,
Speaker 1: I think it was like thirteen hogs were killed over
Speaker 1: a period of a week or two. Something just slaughtered
Speaker 1: every one of them, and I think some of them
Speaker 1: were missing. You know, they've been a bad pun here.
Speaker 1: But I guess if it was Bigfoot, they were living
Speaker 1: a high the hog.
Speaker 11: Yeah, a kid. Something was killing their chickens and it
Speaker 11: would uh uh he said, almost looked like your typical
Speaker 11: vampire bite. They would have two uh thang marks, but
Speaker 11: it wasn't in its neck but in the top of
Speaker 11: its head, and they'd be drained of blood. So something
Speaker 11: was sucking the blood out of their chickens. Instead of
Speaker 11: a super cabra with a goat sucker. I guess they
Speaker 11: had a chicken sucker, a polo cabrao cabra. But they
Speaker 11: said they killed the skunk not too long after this
Speaker 11: start happening, and the chickens stopped being found with all
Speaker 11: the blood during that of them. But I never heard
Speaker 11: of a skunk doing anything like that, but they that's
Speaker 11: what they marked it up to. Strange.
Speaker 1: Well, that's just another bad pun here. That's just foul
Speaker 1: all the way around. That skunk would.
Speaker 11: Have a foul odor and then chicken barnyard foul. Ye,
Speaker 11: I've got another one.
Speaker 1: Here, totally funny. I'm just I'm just silly.
Speaker 11: Park. We've got the wild Man of the Wisconsin Woods.
Speaker 11: In the late eighteen, hundreds of newspapers in Wisconsin reported
Speaker 11: a series of encounters with the wild men, described as
Speaker 11: being over seven feet tall, covered in hair, and possessing
Speaker 11: incredible strengths. He was often blamed here you go, missing livestock,
Speaker 11: strange noises in the night, and some even claimed he
Speaker 11: could mimic human speech. Now, I've heard that that there's
Speaker 11: some of these sasquatch and save people that can talk.
Speaker 11: Have you ever heard some of Darryl Denton's stories that
Speaker 11: are feet.
Speaker 1: I was reading something today or yesterday, Lakota sue, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking that's the native American language he was taught as
Speaker 1: a boy. Forgive me if I'm saying that wrong. That
Speaker 1: he says. The family he'd befriended and stuff for four
Speaker 1: years understand even understands that language. And I've heard you know,
Speaker 1: of course, everybody's heard of mine speak. The typical silence
Speaker 1: in the woods. If things get silence, predators usually not
Speaker 1: something's up, pray that they're predator around you, not the predator,
Speaker 1: but the predator is around, and the praise laying low.
Speaker 1: And but now sometimes birds will act up to alert
Speaker 1: others that there's something around. And then the smell, the
Speaker 1: fast smells that come with the territory. Now some people
Speaker 1: claim to have seen things that they didn't counter or
Speaker 1: experience any smell mine speak, or any silence of the woods,
Speaker 1: but just had a visual and nothing else. But now
Speaker 1: a lot of people say that they even hunters the
Speaker 1: whole shebang, you know, all that all the latter smells.
Speaker 11: Yeah, swoops, hollers. Another one there in pentrist County, there
Speaker 11: was a guy that had cut his leg with a
Speaker 11: chainsaw pretty bad, and they called an ambulance for him.
Speaker 11: He lived on a farm like way off in one direction. Well,
Speaker 11: when the ambulance came up that old gravel road, the
Speaker 11: guy that lived on the other side of his farm,
Speaker 11: on the other side of him, out in the woods,
Speaker 11: there was something started hollering back, kind of mocking or
Speaker 11: mimicking that ambulance. But he said it was an animal
Speaker 11: making that sound. So that sounds like a big foot
Speaker 11: or something.
Speaker 1: I've heard stories where they mimic birds, and what the
Speaker 1: odd thing was that stuck out I think, I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is one of Scott Carpenters stories, or
Speaker 1: if it was somebody relating a story to him and
Speaker 1: he was telling it. But the odd thing was they
Speaker 1: recognized the type of bird or something and they're like,
Speaker 1: wait a minute, it's dark. Yeah, and it does sound
Speaker 1: kind of funny. So they suspected that something was out
Speaker 1: there mimicking this bird and he or if it was
Speaker 1: when in.
Speaker 11: The house people of voices that you would know. I
Speaker 11: heard stories of people hearing voices calling to him from
Speaker 11: in the woods or out of caves. Even that sounded
Speaker 11: like either somebody they knew, a family member that has
Speaker 11: passed on, And one guy even heard himself calling to
Speaker 11: himself to come into the cave. If I hear any
Speaker 11: voice trying to get me to come in a cave,
Speaker 11: I'm running the other direction.
Speaker 1: That's something that could be almost like a doppelganger or
Speaker 1: m sounds like you or something. Hey. There's also claims
Speaker 1: of baby crowds too. They try to lure They think
Speaker 1: women are trying to be lured in or.
Speaker 11: Something of their Yeah, I know, that's just human nature.
Speaker 11: You hear a baby cry in distress, you want to
Speaker 11: go see if you can help it, or something that
Speaker 11: something luring you to your doom, has that knowledge. I
Speaker 11: found another one here. There are not wild men, but
Speaker 11: it's just it's strange, and I'd like to mention it
Speaker 11: since we're talking about the Appalachian Mountains and some of
Speaker 11: this the mountain devils of North Carolina. Now, these creatures
Speaker 11: said in habits of the Appalachian Mountains are the cry
Speaker 11: described as small, hairy humanoids with glowing red eyes. They're
Speaker 11: often blame for unexplained noises, missing objects, and a general
Speaker 11: sense of unease in the mountains. Some believe they are
Speaker 11: related to Cherokee legends of mischievous little people. Mischievous little people.
Speaker 11: So that's that's kind of like mini feet or something.
Speaker 11: There those tiny hairy humanoids who glowing red eyes. It's
Speaker 11: not it's not a human. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a hermit of Harlan County in Kentucky. In
Speaker 1: the eighties, reports merged of a hermit living in the
Speaker 1: woods of Harlan County. Described as a man with long
Speaker 1: a long beard and tightltered clothing. He was said to
Speaker 1: live in a makeshift shelter and scavenge for food. Witnesses
Speaker 1: claimed to see him from a distance, often at twilight,
Speaker 1: and some recounted eriie encounters where he would watch them silently. So, yeah,
Speaker 1: just some some man just sitting up there. Yeah, another
Speaker 1: peeping tom.
Speaker 11: Something like that. We in friends took the guy to
Speaker 11: worked with had a four whole drive pickup truck and
Speaker 11: we took it up a power cut, you know, just
Speaker 11: there wasn't even a road there is even less than
Speaker 11: like a logging road or something. It was just where
Speaker 11: they had cut through the brush to build these high tension,
Speaker 11: high power lines. And we drove way way way, way,
Speaker 11: way way, back out in the woods and just parked
Speaker 11: out there, and off in the distance just you know,
Speaker 11: maybe twenty five thirty feet away, saw the glow of
Speaker 11: a cigarette and there was I mean, we were miles
Speaker 11: and miles miles from civilization. So we turned around and
Speaker 11: got out of there. But they weren't supposed to be
Speaker 11: We weren't supposed to be up there. Somebody up there
Speaker 11: smoking a cigarette. We didn't want to catch us up
Speaker 11: there and murder us or something. So there's some starnge
Speaker 11: things out there. And you've heard my story about the
Speaker 11: time I was walking home Halloween night, for instance, smart
Speaker 11: glowing cigarette coming down the road, and I thought it
Speaker 11: was oh, that somebody smoking a cigarette. But then when
Speaker 11: it got up to me, I could just see the cigarette.
Speaker 11: There was nobody. There wasn't even a shadow or ghost
Speaker 11: or anything. Just a lit cigarette went right by me
Speaker 11: and went on down the road. I watched it go outside.
Speaker 11: Now that road dead ended used to dead end into
Speaker 11: the river until they backed up. The river may melt
Speaker 11: me all lake, but a lot of people had drowned
Speaker 11: in that body of water. Something as a ghost and
Speaker 11: somebody came back for one more cigarette on Halloween night,
Speaker 11: but I never forget that. That scared the but Jesus
Speaker 11: out of it. I ran the rest of the way
Speaker 11: home after the pair of parousis broke. Well, let's take
Speaker 11: a little break here. I've got to play a commercial
Speaker 11: and then we'll hear a little bit of music from
Speaker 11: Lee G and we'll be back in about five minutes.

Speaker 11: So Cathedra, where where are we?
Speaker 7: Mm?
Speaker 1: There was one I was going to touch based on
Speaker 1: let me see if I can get right back to
Speaker 1: that real quick.
Speaker 11: All right, need a minute, I can go with another one.
Speaker 11: Or if you've got that one and I've got a
Speaker 11: short one here. There weren't many wild women, but here's
Speaker 11: another one, The Old White Woman of the Ozarks. This legend,
Speaker 11: originating in the Ozark Mountains, tells of a wild woman
Speaker 11: with long flowing white hair who roams the hills. Some
Speaker 11: say she's a ghost, others a witch, and still others
Speaker 11: believe she's a faero human who were treated into the wilderness.
Speaker 11: She's often blamed for strange occurrences and unsettling encounters in
Speaker 11: the Ozarks. That doesn't go into any detail what those
Speaker 11: strange occurrences and unsettling encounters are. But yeah, if I
Speaker 11: come across a white haired old woman in the woods,
Speaker 11: you know I'm going to get out of there.
Speaker 1: I do have one about a feral child. Okay, In
Speaker 1: West Virginia in the nineteen seventies, a boy was found
Speaker 1: living in the woods of West Virginia, reportedly having lived
Speaker 1: alone for several years. Described as wild and unkempt, he
Speaker 1: was said to exhibit animal like behaviors, such as foraging
Speaker 1: and communicating through grunts. His discovery raised questions about humans
Speaker 1: adaptability and the boundaries of civilization. Kind of reminds me
Speaker 1: of she begin to folk glorified men.
Speaker 11: What was that saying? Kind of like Mowguli in the
Speaker 11: Jungle Book? Did you think about that? It was a
Speaker 11: child that had been living in the woods. Did he
Speaker 11: forge for food?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 11: How did he feed himself? And all that? So many
Speaker 11: unanswered questions.
Speaker 1: There out there for several years it appeared I'm camped
Speaker 1: forging for food and good grunting for communication. So I
Speaker 1: don't know how he.
Speaker 11: Was, but sure he's a pharok children similar to that
Speaker 11: now Harryman of Virgos Swamp, which is in Minnesota. This
Speaker 11: legend originating from the Ojibwe people to use here we
Speaker 11: go large harry creature that was in the swamps of
Speaker 11: northern Minnesota. Harry Mann has said to be mischievous and
Speaker 11: sometimes dangerous, known for playing tricks on travelers and occasionally
Speaker 11: even attacking those who wanted too close to his territory.
Speaker 1: There is a Hermit of Blue Ridge from the nineteen forties.
Speaker 1: The story captured the imagination of locals. It is described
Speaker 1: as a gaunt's figure. He was known to scavenge for
Speaker 1: food and rarely interacted with the townsfolk. Some claimed he
Speaker 1: had chosen solitude after a tragic clause, while others believed
Speaker 1: he possessed supernatural knowledge of the woods.
Speaker 2: Where was that.
Speaker 1: Hermit of Blue Ridge from the forties Blee Ridge Mountains.
Speaker 11: We'll see what else I've got here, so I don't.
Speaker 11: From the French Canadian area, the Googu or the Gaugau
Speaker 11: g o U g o u boogeyman like figure from
Speaker 11: French Canadian folklore is often used to frighten children into behaving.
Speaker 11: The Gaugau is described as a hairy, monstrous creature that
Speaker 11: lurks in the shadows, waiting to snatch up disobedient children. Well,
Speaker 11: he's strictly not a wild man. He does share the
Speaker 11: element of the uncanny and a fear of the untamed.
Speaker 1: I have another one here, the green Man of Clarksburg,
Speaker 1: again from West Virginia. All right, that states like Tennessee,
Speaker 1: they have it all just about. In the nineteen sixties,
Speaker 1: Clarksburg residents began reporting sightings of the green skin figure
Speaker 1: lurking in the woods, described as they disheveled and covered
Speaker 1: in what appeared to be mouse or plant material. The
Speaker 1: green Man became a figure of urban legion. People claimed
Speaker 1: he would appear near the city's outskirts, often during foggy nights.
Speaker 1: The green Man's legend reflects fears of what lies beyond
Speaker 1: civilization and the mysteries of the natural world. Never heard
Speaker 1: of that one, the green It reminds me of the
Speaker 1: swamp thing, obviously, the green Man of Clarksburg.
Speaker 11: I've heard some similar to that, but not in that area.
Speaker 11: We'll see, and it's like that whole wild man archetype.
Speaker 11: It can be a wide creatures wear walls and shape
Speaker 11: saisters to monsters, boogeymen, bigfoot, and I think a lot
Speaker 11: of that whatever figure they've seen locally. It's just a
Speaker 11: reflection of that local cultures, anxieties, beliefs, and their relationship
Speaker 11: with the natural world, and of the people who are
Speaker 11: telling the stories there.
Speaker 1: Now, this one is very similar to when I read
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago. I don't think I read this
Speaker 1: one though, The wild Man of Jackson County, West Virginia
Speaker 1: from nineteen seventy five. And if I have read this one,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I've been trying to mark them office ago,
Speaker 1: but I may have forgot one or two. He's reported
Speaker 1: seeing reports of seeing a wild man living on the
Speaker 1: outskirts of properties. The man's was ascribed as scruffy, wild hair,
Speaker 1: clothes made of animal skins. Witnesses claimed he would rummage
Speaker 1: through their garbage and vanished into the woods before anyone
Speaker 1: could approach. Uh, the wild Man of Jackson County, West Virginia.
Speaker 1: I've read one a few minutes ago that was very similar.
Speaker 11: Approve Virginia and Virginia and Kentucky, tennessee occasionally here else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a cluster of them. And then you get
Speaker 1: good report from DESI there's Pennsylvania. We've all heard the monster.
Speaker 11: This one is a it's not necessarily a wild Man,
Speaker 11: but similar it's the Renovo Wolfman from Pennsylvania. That legend
Speaker 11: originated in the late eighteen hundreds and it tells of
Speaker 11: a wolf like creature that terrorized the town of Renovo, Pennsylvania.
Speaker 11: This wolf man was described here we go again, a large,
Speaker 11: hairy humanoid with glowing red eyes and a terrifying howl.
Speaker 11: I believe it was a werewolf. Well, others thought it
Speaker 11: was some type of unknown primate. And then there's other
Speaker 11: creatures out here. And we talked about the folk monster,
Speaker 11: which also known as the Boggy Creek Monster, you know,
Speaker 11: the type of Bigfoot, famous cryptid film in the seventies
Speaker 11: and low budget horror legend of Boggy Creek Loveland frog Man.
Speaker 11: So it's there's all kinds of Cisco says, there's all
Speaker 11: kinds of crap out there. Oh yeah, dober demon, I
Speaker 11: come across the Wampas Cat. That's which we talked about earlier.
Speaker 11: I had that in my notes here too.
Speaker 1: How about the Beast of Big Sandy, of the Big
Speaker 1: Sandy West Virginia and Kentucky borders Big.
Speaker 11: Sandy and Kentucky. Let's hear about that one. I'm not
Speaker 11: familiar with that one.
Speaker 1: During the nineteen fifties, residence near the Big Sandy River
Speaker 1: reported sightings of a large, hairy creature that seemed to
Speaker 1: run the area, described as having a het of a
Speaker 1: for seven feet. It was said to have a deep
Speaker 1: guttural sound or groul and sounds. Farmers reported missing livestock
Speaker 1: and strange footprints near their barns, leading to community panic.
Speaker 1: The showcases legends how legends can arise from real events.
Speaker 1: So you know what in all legends or fable, you know,
Speaker 1: there's usually some basis of truth.
Speaker 11: So yeah, I think there's a nugget of truth in there.
Speaker 11: It's kind of like remember in school when you played
Speaker 11: the telephone game. One person starts whispers to the person
Speaker 11: next to them, it's passed all along.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you get to the last kid to get to
Speaker 1: the end.
Speaker 11: Totally different story, but I think that's what happens. Because
Speaker 11: my mom grew up around the Caves Cobert and the Smokies.
Speaker 11: My dad grew up on the Cumberland Platau in Middle Tennessee,
Speaker 11: ventest County, Jamestown, that area that he would talk about
Speaker 11: here in some of the same stories that my mom
Speaker 11: heard growing up, and he was six years older than her,
Speaker 11: but in that area, and then you know, shit heard
Speaker 11: it in that area. So I think people when they
Speaker 11: repeat those stories, tell those tall tales and legends and stuff,
Speaker 11: if they don't know where it is, or rather than
Speaker 11: have to explain to the person they're telling me to,
Speaker 11: oh you know, you go over here and you go
Speaker 11: around there, they just update it with a local or
Speaker 11: you know, something local to them so people knows where
Speaker 11: it is. That's my guess on that I mentioned launch
Speaker 11: like the crying woman, there's a cry Baby bridge. There's
Speaker 11: one of those. Yeah, every little community throughout the South.
Speaker 1: Yeah, or a bridge where someone can't cross or they
Speaker 1: disappear like headlights will disappear before they cross the bridge.
Speaker 11: Or the vanishing hitchhiker type. Or I heard stories of
Speaker 11: where if you're riding a horse or motorcycle, there's certain
Speaker 11: areas where it feels like somebody gets on behind you.
Speaker 11: I wouldn't like that. There's one in Rockland Tendency called
Speaker 11: Scout Hollow for a bunch of boy scouts around and
Speaker 11: I've heard that one that if you go through there
Speaker 11: on some sort of conveyance a bike or a motorcycle
Speaker 11: or some animal that you ride it feels like something
Speaker 11: gets on behind you. That's just creepy.
Speaker 1: I've heard you recently. I believe mention Flatwood's monster because
Speaker 1: I remember I was in the chat and I remember
Speaker 1: saying how I thought maybe the guy it was like
Speaker 1: a town prankster, and I thought maybe he was behind it.
Speaker 1: But it was reported I don't think he was in
Speaker 1: the area at the time, so there went that idea.
Speaker 1: Of course he wasn't in the area at the time,
Speaker 1: but if he was a prankster, surely he would have
Speaker 1: told somebody. But that's never come out. But story has
Speaker 1: it that on September twelfth, nineteen fifty two, in flat Woods,
Speaker 1: West Virginia, a group of boys reported seeing a strange,
Speaker 1: glowing figure emerged from the woods. Witnesses descripted creature as
Speaker 1: tile with a green body and a head shaped like
Speaker 1: a spade. Witnesses claimed it emitted a foul odor and
Speaker 1: had large glowing eyes. This incident not only sparked local folklore,
Speaker 1: but also contributed to the broader discussion of UFOs and
Speaker 1: extraterrestrial life, blending supernatural with the unexplained.
Speaker 11: Yeah, I don't know what those people saw that night.
Speaker 11: But something I've had the pastors that I have out
Speaker 11: here frequently, they think it was some kind of a
Speaker 11: nepht all, an angel or a demon or something like that.
Speaker 11: But and that thing is scary looking when you see it.
Speaker 1: It looks and it was kind of roboticlock too, wouldn't
Speaker 1: it Or.
Speaker 11: Yeah, there's something about metallic having to do with it.
Speaker 11: I don't know, but it's it's like that I would
Speaker 11: soil myself.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was like UFO a UFOs or an alien
Speaker 1: races AI robot version one point zero. I guess I'm
Speaker 1: not sure. You never know.
Speaker 11: Whatever it was, it was the depiction they drew over
Speaker 11: there was especially Friday. It did have that It's like
Speaker 11: it had the ace of Spades looking thing up behind
Speaker 11: its head. It looked like it was wearing a metallic
Speaker 11: dress or something. I don't know. I don't even want
Speaker 11: to think about it. See what else I've got here now,
Speaker 11: as long as we're covering just beasts, and you know,
Speaker 11: there's a beast of Bray Road in Wisconsin that was
Speaker 11: herst reported back in the eighties in the rural area
Speaker 11: around Elkhorn, Wisconsin, and it's often described as a large,
Speaker 11: hairy bipedal canine with glowing red eyes. Some said it's
Speaker 11: maybe a dog man, and it's been blamed again for
Speaker 11: nuvous livestock killings and terrifying passers by.
Speaker 7: Again.
Speaker 11: Some believe it's werewolf, and others suggest that may be
Speaker 11: some type of unknown cryptid like a dog man or
Speaker 11: something similar. I love the way they have the different
Speaker 11: Man's where they have the lizard Man of Skateboard Swamp.
Speaker 11: They have the Grassman in Ohio. A lot of different
Speaker 11: things like that, the frog Man, have the dover Demon
Speaker 11: up here. I don't know what. I think that was
Speaker 11: a extraterrestrial or something. He's got the Jersey levil whatever
Speaker 11: that thing was winged, biped or the horse like head,
Speaker 11: bat wings and forktail.
Speaker 1: I believe this story is from an old book, I
Speaker 1: think in nineteen fifty two, The wild Man of the Woods,
Speaker 1: the Middle Ages, Sentinels and Mythology. I believe it was.
Speaker 1: But in the eighteen hundreds there was stories of a
Speaker 1: wild man. In eighteen eighty seven, a party of gold
Speaker 1: miners traveling through the Globe Valley in Cockwell County, North Carolina,
Speaker 1: encountered what they described as a wild man. Although they
Speaker 1: although they only got within forty yards of the man.
Speaker 1: One miner claimed that his peculiar specimen of humanity appeared
Speaker 1: to be a giant six foot five sixty five with
Speaker 1: a funnel shaped head.
Speaker 11: Again, that must be what they're talking about, a cone shape.
Speaker 11: That just no. Next, I'd never heard of a funnel
Speaker 11: shaped head before that one I found. And then there
Speaker 11: you found it on something else.
Speaker 1: And this was from a party of gold miners from
Speaker 1: eighteen seventy seven. I don't think that's the same story
Speaker 1: as you were talking about. I don't believe it was.
Speaker 1: But if it was, I mean, here's some more details
Speaker 1: to go along with it. Yeah, two inch long hair
Speaker 1: covering his body. When he spotted the miners, he pounded
Speaker 1: on his chest. I just mentioned that earlier, before turning
Speaker 1: and bounding off into the woods with the speed of
Speaker 1: a deer. The party tracked him with guns drawn to
Speaker 1: a cave deep in the mountains, where they found bones,
Speaker 1: many of many animals scattered about, indicating that he had
Speaker 1: been leaving there for a while. The most amazing thing
Speaker 1: about this story is how similar it was to hundreds
Speaker 1: of other sightings, encounters, and confrontations that supposedly took place
Speaker 1: across the United States following the Civil War. So following
Speaker 1: the Civil War, so after the Civil War, those the
Speaker 1: sights increased.
Speaker 11: Yeah see, I got another one here in this one
Speaker 11: again not a while man, but something from West Virginia
Speaker 11: called the sheep squatch. It's encryptid I reported in the
Speaker 11: mountains regions of West Virginia, described as a large bipedal
Speaker 11: creature with thick wooly fur in a fowl or you
Speaker 11: don't hear about sasquatch or Bigfoot having thick wooly for
Speaker 11: It's often blamed for livestock mutilations and strings occurrences in
Speaker 11: the road areas where it said to Rome. Some believe
Speaker 11: it may be a distant relative of Bigfoot, while others
Speaker 11: think that it could be a completely unique creature.
Speaker 1: Now here, Uh there was. There's one I was trying
Speaker 1: to find. I can't find it yet, but I did
Speaker 1: come across this one before I ever come across the
Speaker 1: one I can't find. I recognize it, so may not
Speaker 1: be too far off of when oats here from it.
Speaker 1: But you've heard of Field and Stream, well, in eighteen
Speaker 1: ninety six, that was Forest and Stream. There was a
Speaker 1: published sketch of the wild Man of ChIL Howie, a
Speaker 1: gruffalo type creature with talon like fingernails and toenails, tusks
Speaker 1: instead of teeth, and hair and beard to his waist.
Speaker 1: Four hunters encountered the naked man little Boy in the
Speaker 1: forest of East Tennessee. After following him back to his lair,
Speaker 1: they attempted to seize him and haul him back to Cleveland,
Speaker 1: but the man used his brute strength to overpower the
Speaker 1: men and run. A polse later returned for the wild Man,
Speaker 1: captured him and send him to a sane and insane asylum, where,
Speaker 1: according to the report, he now reposes in comfort. So
Speaker 1: earlier they caught one and he got away, but this
Speaker 1: one here they caught him in. They took him to
Speaker 1: the insane asylum where he's reposing and comfort now. Well back,
Speaker 1: you know what was what was the year on this one?
Speaker 1: Eighteen ninety six was the date that the Forest and
Speaker 1: Stream published the story.
Speaker 11: No wonder, it was just an object, you know, the times,
Speaker 11: because you know that was when the West was still
Speaker 11: wild and things like that, and it was just you
Speaker 11: don't you know, I mean, you still hear stories about
Speaker 11: feral people in the backwoods of the Appalachis and stuff.
Speaker 11: But I wonder back then it was just there were
Speaker 11: more of them because there was a lot more unclaimed land,
Speaker 11: and America was a wilder place. North America was a
Speaker 11: wilder place.
Speaker 1: There is a report of a wild man of Camas Thomas,
Speaker 1: that was killed by an axe a group of immigrants.
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to kill that one in Idaho in eighteen
Speaker 1: eighty three, after having caught wind of the presence of
Speaker 1: the wild man. In northwestern Nevada, a group of citizens
Speaker 1: led a policy into his camp. Upon seeing the Polsey,
Speaker 1: the infuriated demon a forty year old white man. Earlier
Speaker 1: you spoke of one was in his thirties. This one
Speaker 1: says forty. He took off running towards the horses, but
Speaker 1: members of the Polsey open fire, chasing him back into
Speaker 1: the forest. I guess they didn't get their man.
Speaker 11: And then in Alaska, again not a wild man per se.
Speaker 11: They've got what they called the Alaskan bush man again,
Speaker 11: large hairy humanoid ream's remote wilderness up there, and often
Speaker 11: a company by reports of strange vocalations and unusual footprints,
Speaker 11: some believed to be a relative of big Foot of sasquatch,
Speaker 11: while others suggest that it's something unique different, some sort
Speaker 11: creature that's adapted to the harsh Alaskan environment. And they
Speaker 11: also have the nantanac up there, and it's like an angry,
Speaker 11: big photo. Sasquatches Austin often depicted as a furisome predator
Speaker 11: capable of great strength and speed, and it just serves
Speaker 11: as you know, some of the harsh realities of Alaska
Speaker 11: that took there on the tundra and some of the
Speaker 11: what spaced by those people that call that home. That's
Speaker 11: the thing that they blamed. And there's a place up
Speaker 11: there where something picked up like the front scoop off
Speaker 11: a bulldozer and through it and did some stuff. I
Speaker 11: don't know. There's there's some strange stuff in Alaska. They've
Speaker 11: also got the kushtaka, which is, oh yeah, it's a
Speaker 11: shape shifter that compare is either a human or an otter.
Speaker 11: That's one of those that lures people into the water,
Speaker 11: either sounding like a crying baby like we were talking about,
Speaker 11: or a person in distress and had passed. You're justin
Speaker 11: on he's talking about he's stationed in Alaska. There's a
Speaker 11: lot of weird weird, weird things up there.
Speaker 1: When you just talking about the nontonac montonock, it reminds
Speaker 1: me of that life past incident.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: There there's a race of people or some say other
Speaker 1: things in the woods that live in their very territorial
Speaker 1: that that was the theory that as to what they
Speaker 1: have led to their deaths. You know, they'd ripped the
Speaker 1: tent open from the inside. Some of them were half naked.
Speaker 1: They run out for some apparent reason the mill the night.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's birds of prey or what.
Speaker 1: That one of the ladies was there only one lady,
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Now, a lady was found without her
Speaker 1: tongue and her eyes, and some were found further out
Speaker 1: away from other people, like they just booked it. Something
Speaker 1: really scared those people. I believe. Had it been avalanched,
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, yeah, I've covered that case some.
Speaker 11: Somebody. I never wrote a book about it. I don't
Speaker 11: remember if it was. Oh, I won't speculate, but there's
Speaker 11: injuries were much like.
Speaker 1: A car accident, like a brute force in radiation. I believe.
Speaker 11: I don't believe it was just an avalanche, which is
Speaker 11: the official story. I think maybe Drew Hurst Bensent wrote
Speaker 11: a book about that. I'm not sure, and I found
Speaker 11: another one here before I covered Spearfinger, which is a
Speaker 11: Cherokee legend. Well, there's another from the North Carolina Cherokee
Speaker 11: called the Waia Woman. She's a cambalistic woman who learns
Speaker 11: children into the woods to devour them. And she's depicted
Speaker 11: having long, tangled hand and a horrifying appearance. And uh,
Speaker 11: she kind of serves as a cautionary tale about the
Speaker 11: dangers of wondering too far from the campfire and the
Speaker 11: importance of heating the warnings of elders. So again, that's
Speaker 11: kind of like Granny telling you these stories. And then
Speaker 11: you got the Cataba little people and the Native American
Speaker 11: story about these small human like creatures that live in
Speaker 11: the woods. Maybe the faithfulk often depicting his mischievs and
Speaker 11: sometimes helpful, said to have a deep connection to nature.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that. Maybe Hawaiian maybe wrong on that,
Speaker 1: but they were supposed to be a race of people.
Speaker 1: And you know, you respect the land.
Speaker 11: Ye to the goog which is that that's in michigany
Speaker 11: uh for peninsula. It's again described as a large hairy
Speaker 11: ape like creature with glowing red eyes and a terrifying roar,
Speaker 11: blamed for livestock mulations and strange occurrences in the wilderness
Speaker 11: where it's said to rome. So it looks like everywhere
Speaker 11: you've got some type of bigfoot type creature. And again
Speaker 11: not not a wild man per se, but a while
Speaker 11: something some kind of wild beast. And you know, we
Speaker 11: talked about the folk monster in Arkansas and wind A Go.
Speaker 11: You know, that's one of those that kind of a
Speaker 11: shape shift or whatever has the taste or human flesh. Again, yep, yep.
Speaker 11: Done in the New Louisiana. Also, there's another one up
Speaker 11: on Mount Saint Helens in Washington State called the Batsquatch,
Speaker 11: reported in the eighties, a humanoid body with a bat
Speaker 11: wings and a hairless, gray colored skin, often associated with
Speaker 11: the volcanic activity of the mountain. That's I've been upon
Speaker 11: Mount Saint Helens. That's a strange, strange place up there.
Speaker 11: And then you have not too far from there you
Speaker 11: have Ape Canyon where a bunch of miners were attacked
Speaker 11: all night long in their cabin by what they described
Speaker 11: as wild men throwing rocks. But I think they pretty
Speaker 11: much decided that's the bigfoot Rubu and as roots in
Speaker 11: French and Cajun folklore werewolf like being said to roma
Speaker 11: swamps and by his Louisiana often described it having a
Speaker 11: human body with the head of a wolf for a dog,
Speaker 11: and said to pray on those who break the Catholic
Speaker 11: tradition of lint or engage in other sinful behavior. And
Speaker 11: then up here there's Algonquin legend the ch Chinu. It's
Speaker 11: a cambalistic monster that inhabits the forest up here, often
Speaker 11: depicted it's having a heart advice said to prey on
Speaker 11: humans who wonder too far into its territory. And again
Speaker 11: it's just you know, cautionary tale embodying the dangers of
Speaker 11: the wilderness and the fear of losing one's humanity. So
Speaker 11: there's all over the place. There's actual ones that sound
Speaker 11: like men, like wild men, like pharaoh people, and then
Speaker 11: there's these bigfoot like creatures, and then the dog man.
Speaker 11: I think somehow it's all connected.
Speaker 1: You remember there was the American Horror Stories show out.
Speaker 11: American Horror listener stories over a missing persons mysteries. I've
Speaker 11: got Nikki, I can't remember her last name. She's a
Speaker 11: friend of mine Facebook, and she sent me her story
Speaker 11: of a thing she encountered. It was kind of like
Speaker 11: a dog man. This was in Louisiana, but it was
Speaker 11: more of a like a Nubis from Egyptian focals. She said,
Speaker 11: that's what it looked like. It was in her room.
Speaker 1: She the one that went to Mount Shasta all by herself. No,
Speaker 1: that's kay Love, Okay, okay Love. Yeah, I couldn't remember
Speaker 1: the first name. I remember the last name.
Speaker 11: To have her on this show. She's got an awesome story.
Speaker 1: Man, that's a tough gal to brave it out there
Speaker 1: by herself, like she did have no weapon or that's
Speaker 1: a trooper and just felt the call.
Speaker 11: Quit her job, got all of her camping equipment in
Speaker 11: her car, took off and lived on the slopes of
Speaker 11: Mount Shasta for I think it's five months or something.
Speaker 1: That's how strong that urge was. It's like drawing her in,
Speaker 1: pulling her in.
Speaker 11: She didn't call them big Foot the Sasquad. She called
Speaker 11: them the tree people. But she had experiences with them.
Speaker 11: She had experiences with us.
Speaker 1: Brought lots and kinds of stuff.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 11: Interesting, Now I've got that over on my I wonder
Speaker 11: if that's all missing persons and mysteries over on Tales Untold.
Speaker 11: But I've got that at least one interview, whether I've
Speaker 11: interviewed her twice, but I've got it on one handle
Speaker 11: or the other on YouTube, and I've got a song spreaker.
Speaker 1: But there was a story that ranked true that was
Speaker 1: played out on the American Horror Story TV show, but
Speaker 1: the one that ranked true in the episode, it was
Speaker 1: called feral Uh. It's where a family of three goes
Speaker 1: camping in California's Kerrent River Canyon National Park. During the
Speaker 1: fishing trip, the couple's three year old son goes missing.
Speaker 1: Ten years later, the divorced couple returns to the area
Speaker 1: and the last their effort to find their son, only
Speaker 1: to learn the truth about is terrifying, terrifying truth about
Speaker 1: his disappearance. But it was thought to maybe have been
Speaker 1: feral humans.
Speaker 11: The person who wrote the script, they drew some things
Speaker 11: from the the actual Dennis Martin disappeared. I mean it
Speaker 11: didn't totally copy it.
Speaker 1: It's adapted from you know, folklore, religion. But yeah, there
Speaker 1: was a report. Well you could probably recite this better
Speaker 1: than I could, because that affected you as a young child.
Speaker 1: You were worried about him. You would make him sandwiches
Speaker 1: and take out in.
Speaker 11: The woods, leaving chips and stuff in which I thought
Speaker 11: maybe because you know, we didn't live that far from
Speaker 11: the smoke. He's about an hour, but that was an
Speaker 11: hour by car. And I just remember, you know, my
Speaker 11: little five year old mind thinking I maybe wonder down here.
Speaker 1: And yeah, it was about your agge. Twudn't he?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 11: I was five going on six and he was six
Speaker 11: going on seven, if I remember correctly. Yeah, that was
Speaker 11: father's that nineteen sixty nine. I remember that.
Speaker 1: But the strange thing about that, I mean they also
Speaker 1: run into a family of Martin's who also had a
Speaker 1: son named Dennis or was that one of the father's names. Uh?
Speaker 11: Those dad Dennis is a kid in Dennis's granddad who
Speaker 11: was I think Williams Senior, Bill Sr.
Speaker 1: And they missed.
Speaker 11: Had their kids up there.
Speaker 1: What are the odds they thought that maybe some kind
Speaker 1: of conspiracy or but they I don't think they found
Speaker 1: any connections about why somebody.
Speaker 11: Concerned that it wasn't just coincidence that there's a rumors
Speaker 11: that you know, that his dad gave him to some
Speaker 11: of those people that they were distant family that who knows,
Speaker 11: but it's been so long and there's there are no answers.
Speaker 11: But something happened, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: One thing that they definitely wanted to keep hush hush
Speaker 1: was that count is what like a mile or three
Speaker 1: miles away? Yeah, the key somebody heard, Yeah, I heard
Speaker 1: a yale like a kid scream and they look hurdling scream,
Speaker 1: look up and on the mountain side, looked like.
Speaker 11: At first they thought it was a bear, and then
Speaker 11: they said it was a rugged man with something red
Speaker 11: over his shoulder running up the holler there.
Speaker 1: Well Dennis big and brown, Yeah, yep, I mean I
Speaker 1: think Dennis may have been where was he wearing a
Speaker 1: red jacket? I mean they noted that that stuck out
Speaker 1: to them. They heard that shrill streak and something big
Speaker 1: and large and brown.
Speaker 11: And Dwight McCarter, who was the laid tracker on that case.
Speaker 11: He's retired now at park right now. Yes, he talked
Speaker 11: about there being wild men in the park, the paras
Speaker 11: are big foot anything. He just you know, there are
Speaker 11: people that liked their privacy and lived off grid and stuff.
Speaker 11: But he's mentioned wild men kind of alluded to it.
Speaker 1: I'm sure they. You know, they have stories to tell
Speaker 1: people tell them stories. Now, that'd be something that'd be
Speaker 1: a good source if somebody could find one that would
Speaker 1: confide in on. Don't you think Steve make a good
Speaker 1: book out of that? Oh goodness, all.
Speaker 11: Kinds of stories that guy on YouTube South Forest and
Speaker 11: listened to his explanation of the dance marking case, it
Speaker 11: will truly chill you.
Speaker 1: Now, there was a guy who felt pretty guilty about
Speaker 1: things through the years of believe and I think he
Speaker 1: took his own life.
Speaker 11: Yeah, that was the FBI agent that was in charge
Speaker 11: of it. There's a nightclub there on Kingston Pike and
Speaker 11: Maxale that he went into on the dance floor and
Speaker 11: took himself out.
Speaker 1: Now you're familiar familiar with Cade's Cove and the smoke Ees, Gatlinburg, Pigeonford, Severeble.
Speaker 1: There's legends that feral humans live in the mountains in
Speaker 1: that part of East Tennessee as well, and they're cannibalistic.
Speaker 11: Yeah, my book about the Smokies, I've got a chapter
Speaker 11: called of wild men and feral Humans.
Speaker 1: Some say, yes, it's just a legend, but not everybody
Speaker 1: agrees with that.
Speaker 11: Well, you never know. Again, those legends, they all have
Speaker 11: a nugget of truth in him. And I'm just looking
Speaker 11: at stuff. In the UK. You know, they got the
Speaker 11: green Man, who's sort of a wild man and more
Speaker 11: of a nature spirit. It's often depicted as a face
Speaker 11: surrounded by leaves, and he represents the cycle of growth
Speaker 11: and rebirth. You see him carved in a lot of
Speaker 11: churches and old buildings in the UK. But I know
Speaker 11: of a building in Kentucky that has the green Man
Speaker 11: carved on it. But see what else do we find
Speaker 11: over there? Herne the Hunter, spectral figure associated with Windsor
Speaker 11: Forest in the Great Park, often is depicted as a
Speaker 11: ghostly hunter with antlers riding a black horse. And I
Speaker 11: suppose that he was a huntsman who hanged himself from
Speaker 11: an oak tree and spirit of the forest. The wild
Speaker 11: Man of Orford. That legend tells the wild Man captured
Speaker 11: in the nets of fishermen off the coast of Orford
Speaker 11: at Suffolk in the twelfth century. Creature to describe being
Speaker 11: covered in hair, having a human like form but with
Speaker 11: a strange fish like diet. I camp him captive for
Speaker 11: some time, but eventually escaped back into the sea. So
Speaker 11: that's the first one I've heard of it that came
Speaker 11: out of the water and not the woods.
Speaker 1: I'll see if I can't look to my notes here
Speaker 1: in a minute and find it, but that one. But
Speaker 1: I have one if I can find it from I
Speaker 1: think China too.
Speaker 11: You've got Gillydoo from Scotland Scottish folklore, a guardian of
Speaker 11: the forest. He's often depicted as a small hairy man
Speaker 11: dressed in leaves and moss. That's kind of the one
Speaker 11: that you talked about earlier, but this is the Scottish
Speaker 11: version of it. He said to be kind and helpful
Speaker 11: to the lost children, guiding them back to safely.
Speaker 1: And then well there is there's reports of that too.
Speaker 1: Kids will go missing and then when they are found
Speaker 1: they say, like the big harry man kept me warm,
Speaker 1: or he fed me berries.
Speaker 11: Video like children save by bears, And I think, I mean,
Speaker 11: a bear is not going to cudd little kid berries
Speaker 11: and stuff. I think the kids are so small that
Speaker 11: that the one kid said it was a big shaggy
Speaker 11: doggie or something. I think it was some kind of
Speaker 11: big footsy squatch creature. In about all those cases.
Speaker 1: Well, now I was talking about Gallinburg and Pigeon Forge
Speaker 1: in East Tennessee. It's you know, probably an hour a
Speaker 1: half to two hours for me here leave. What sparked
Speaker 1: legend of that is. I believe it's in the sixties.
Speaker 1: A six year old boy went missing in the area
Speaker 1: and is remembered it. You know, maybe feral people took him.
Speaker 1: That's what sparked a lot of those legends. Here's the
Speaker 1: notes on it, traced back to the story.
Speaker 11: People saw him up on a cliff or something, peeking
Speaker 11: over the edge. They don't know how he got up there.
Speaker 1: And I've heard stories in some of the in laws
Speaker 1: and family I have they were camping and they saw
Speaker 1: a big hairy something or other and way up on
Speaker 1: a cliff and it's throwing rocks and sticks down at him.
Speaker 1: Just stood there, just get flinging stuff at him. And
Speaker 1: they got spooped and took off and they looked.
Speaker 11: Back and it was gone, strange. Well, you could see
Speaker 11: that we're almost out of time here. You got one
Speaker 11: last case you want to throw at us?
Speaker 1: There, I will see if I can't find that.
Speaker 11: While you're doing that, I've got one here. The brown
Speaker 11: Man of the Mirrors in Scotland, solitary figure from Scottish folklore,
Speaker 11: considered a garden of the moorlands. Now he's often depicted
Speaker 11: as a hairy, dwarf like creature with the brown complexion. Again,
Speaker 11: not a wild man, but some kind of manlike being
Speaker 11: that lives in the wisdowlth of this one. You though,
Speaker 11: he's a protector of the national world. He's seen his
Speaker 11: mischievous and even dangerous sometimes. So that's a bit of
Speaker 11: strangeness there from Scotland.
Speaker 1: Well, while I'm looking for that one stealed, there is
Speaker 1: a wild man of the pine barrens in New Jersey,
Speaker 1: wild man being uh noted in the Appalachian regions. They
Speaker 1: inhabit dense forests and then around there in New Jersey too,
Speaker 1: So they are far and wide. Seems like every little
Speaker 1: cluster of woods may have something in there.
Speaker 11: State Forest, National Park. They're out there. What do you think?
Speaker 11: I look forward to your comments on this. Do you
Speaker 11: think they're feral humans out there? Do you think they're
Speaker 11: wild men still in the woods? What about these accounts
Speaker 11: from the eighteen hundreds Was it just different times back then?
Speaker 11: Are they still out there just driven deeper into the forest.
Speaker 11: That's going to wrap it up for this episode of
Speaker 11: Everything out There. Thanks to my guest ghost Lore aka
Speaker 11: Cathia cat Ray for helping me out here tonight.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for having me on against Evehis.
Speaker 11: Always a pleasure to play us out here. Going to
Speaker 11: play Rusty Lily White's Whispers of the Wilderness again, which
Speaker 11: she's given me her kind permission to use. And it's
Speaker 11: about wild men in the forest on behalf of a
Speaker 11: ghost Lore Catheda and myself wish everybody a good night,
Speaker 11: the pleasant tomorrow. Take care of yourself, behind yourselves and
Speaker 11: each other. Tell your animals we said hello. We'll see
