- 4:36Speaker 1: forth here. If I'm fumbling around, it's nothing new, right, okay,
- 4:41Speaker 1: And I got dentnis here, So let's get this show
- 4:43Speaker 1: on the road. Dating back from the early eighteen hundreds
- 4:47Speaker 1: through the early nineteen hundreds, throughout the United States and
- 4:51Speaker 1: all over North America, newspapers in almost every single city
- 4:56Speaker 1: ran articles about wild men. These are strange, feral, human
- 5:01Speaker 1: like creatures that seemed to be covered in fur or hair.
- 5:07Speaker 1: They were nearly always naked or nude. I say naked
- 5:13Speaker 1: or nearly nude. They had hair on them and maybe leaves,
- 5:16Speaker 1: I don't know, like Adam and Eve kind of stuff,
- 5:19Speaker 1: but they were usually nude. They had a bad temper,
- 5:23Speaker 1: and you didn't want to get near them. Okay, they
- 5:26Speaker 1: weren't pleasant. They weren't pleasant. Now, the wild men actually
- 5:30Speaker 1: fall into about three categories. Okay, they have been categorized.
- 5:34Speaker 1: And I knew that there was, you know, like the
- 5:36Speaker 1: Neanderthal type, there could be feral humans. So we talked
- 5:39Speaker 1: about this with Nick Silvester a couple of weeks ago,
- 5:42Speaker 1: because I was asking if the feral humans that had
- 5:44Speaker 1: been seen in the experience in the Smoky Mountains could
- 5:48Speaker 1: actually be Neanderthals or some kind of a wildman, and
- 5:52Speaker 1: he was like, Oh, he just really can't categorize them
- 5:54Speaker 1: because there's so many different types of humans, humanoids, primitive
- 6:00Speaker 1: man still, you know, living all in the Appalachian Mountains
- 6:04Speaker 1: and all over. So let's go over before I bringing
- 6:06Speaker 1: us up. There are three types. I want to go
- 6:08Speaker 1: over them with you guys today. There's large, hairy, bipedal
- 6:12Speaker 1: humanoids that we would probably classify as a bigfoot, like
- 6:16Speaker 1: a type for Sasquatch. If you'll remember, I was given
- 6:21Speaker 1: that remote viewing target of Paul Bunyan, the man that
- 6:25Speaker 1: Paul Bunyon is based off of. I do believe that
- 6:27Speaker 1: was a type for Sasquatch. A big, a big dude
- 6:31Speaker 1: looks like a human.
- 6:32Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:33Speaker 1: So then the second type are feral humans.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:36Speaker 1: They can use tools, they're usually violent if caught. They
- 6:41Speaker 1: speak like a gibberish, they don't speak English usually, and
- 6:46Speaker 1: they're usually deemed to be completely insane by our human
- 6:52Speaker 1: standards okay, like societal spit it out societal standards. They're
- 7:00Speaker 1: deemed and sane. Now that's going to be important for
- 7:02Speaker 1: what we discussed later today. Now, in the third categorized
- 7:07Speaker 1: or category are lost hominids, which are neither a man
- 7:11Speaker 1: nor a beast. They're kind of more like a caveman. Okay,
- 7:17Speaker 1: kind of like a caveman, but they're not quite as
- 7:19Speaker 1: elusive as a bigfoot. They have some human like characteristics,
- 7:24Speaker 1: like they use clubs, tools, and fire. Okay, so kind
- 7:29Speaker 1: of cave managed there, that's what I envision here. So
- 7:33Speaker 1: we're going to really dive into these. Also, I saw
- 7:35Speaker 1: Aaron in the chat. Aaron Kane is in the chat today.
- 7:39Speaker 1: Thank you Erin for sending me the information on the
- 7:42Speaker 1: Georgia wild Man. We're going to be discussing that today.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I meant to send you an email before the show,
- 7:48Speaker 1: and I forgot, but I see you in here, so
- 7:49Speaker 1: thank goodness, so erin, thank you so much. I'll give
- 7:53Speaker 1: you credit when we get to that story today. So
- 7:56Speaker 1: we're going to talk about the historical reports today. There
- 8:00Speaker 1: is potentially one of the strangest wild man stories ever
- 8:03Speaker 1: told that we're going to discuss. That's what Aaron sent
- 8:06Speaker 1: to me. Here she is, I see, Okay, Aaron's in here.
- 8:10Speaker 1: It's about it an encounter with an eight foot tall
- 8:13Speaker 1: wild man in North Georgia. He is in Fannin County.
- 8:16Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I've in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
- 8:20Speaker 1: And this wild man was said and known to kidnap
- 8:24Speaker 1: women and children. And it was seen with a dwarf
- 8:28Speaker 1: in a bull. Okay, so an unlikely trio. An unlikely trio.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Now I do have doctor Dennis Carrol here in the
- 8:37Speaker 1: chat with me today, or not a chat. He's probably
- 8:41Speaker 1: in the chat too.
- 8:41Speaker 2: Who knows.
- 8:42Speaker 1: He's in the studio with me today. And he has
- 8:45Speaker 1: over forty years experience in the field of the paranormal.
- 8:47Speaker 1: He studied research and investigated many aspects pertaining to the
- 8:50Speaker 1: paranormal and the supernatural with his own experiences. And he's
- 8:54Speaker 1: a researcher investigator of the occult and the supernatural. You
- 8:58Speaker 1: can find him on his YouTube channel Hunting the Shadows.
- 9:00Speaker 1: He does have a show tonight, so y'all be sure
- 9:03Speaker 1: to check him out at nine pm Eastern. Please help me.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Welcome to the show our good friend doctor Dennis Carol.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Hey, Dennis, you know, the wild man is very interesting
- 9:15Speaker 2: to me because in between haircuts, I sometimes get mistaken
- 9:19Speaker 2: for him. But it is a very interesting subject and
- 9:24Speaker 2: it goes far back deep into folklore, and that's, you know,
- 9:28Speaker 2: one of my specialties. Spoke his folklore definitely is very interesting.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I've been called a wild woman before. Okay,
- 9:38Speaker 1: so I just you know, I try to shave and stuff,
- 9:41Speaker 1: so y'all don't see my true nature of being as
- 9:44Speaker 1: hairy as I could be. I guess, so, I know,
- 9:47Speaker 1: I'm kidding, kidding, but yeah, this is this is a
- 9:52Speaker 1: fascinating topic. I've talked about wild men before, Okay, Well,
- 9:56Speaker 1: they come up. They've come up throughout the years that
- 9:59Speaker 1: we've been here on a and doing shows, but I
- 10:01Speaker 1: have never really dived into the different categories of them.
- 10:07Speaker 1: I've been given remote viewing targets of suspected bigfoots and
- 10:10Speaker 1: I do believe there have turned out to be wild men,
- 10:13Speaker 1: you know, And I think there's kind of a blurred
- 10:15Speaker 1: line a little bit between some of these wild men
- 10:17Speaker 1: and some of the giants and maybe even what maybe
- 10:20Speaker 1: even some of the giant skeletons that have been found
- 10:23Speaker 1: all over the United States.
- 10:25Speaker 2: That's a that's a fascinating thing about it, Jessica. There
- 10:28Speaker 2: is sort of a magical, a magic tie into these things.
- 10:32Speaker 2: But if you go back into the Teutonic times in
- 10:35Speaker 2: Germany and the Saxons and all that, you'll see you'll
- 10:39Speaker 2: see him depict it on their shields and their coats
- 10:42Speaker 2: of arms.
- 10:43Speaker 3: Uh.
- 10:44Speaker 2: That's that's a good representation out there. The wild Man's
- 10:47Speaker 2: thought to be sort of also a spirit of nature
- 10:52Speaker 2: in that respect. He's very much ties into the green
- 10:56Speaker 2: Man and the the the personage of the green Man
- 11:01Speaker 2: that you see around Christmas time. He's got the beard
- 11:05Speaker 2: and the holly wreath on his head and all that.
- 11:08Speaker 2: All of this ties into the wild man, and some
- 11:12Speaker 2: of it is connected to Odin, the chief god of
- 11:16Speaker 2: the Norse. He was kind of like the wild man.
- 11:19Speaker 2: He was sort of like the long hair and he
- 11:22Speaker 2: dressed in furs and he had a long beard and
- 11:25Speaker 2: all that that's the way he would be seen among
- 11:27Speaker 2: humans sometimes. So a lot of this has a lot
- 11:30Speaker 2: of very old tie into folklore, and I think, and
- 11:35Speaker 2: this is my own opinion, that this may be a
- 11:40Speaker 2: I call it an echo of history to the fact
- 11:44Speaker 2: that the humans once encountered neantrathals and stuff like that,
- 11:50Speaker 2: and that has that has continued in our memory. I
- 11:54Speaker 2: saw a racial memory that we have and that's why
- 11:57Speaker 2: it's so deep in our folklore and so many stories
- 12:01Speaker 2: are told about it.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Well, I know, back in the eighteen hundreds there were
- 12:05Speaker 1: a ton of newspaper articles that described wild men that
- 12:09Speaker 1: were found that were attacking, especially women and children. They
- 12:14Speaker 1: seem to have a fascination with kidnapping women and children,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and so that was in the newspapers quite a bit,
- 12:20Speaker 1: and so people did not take kindly to these wild
- 12:22Speaker 1: men because they were a threat. They seemed to be
- 12:27Speaker 1: kind of like savage, I guess you could call it.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Yeah, they were very uncivilized. They were sort of anti
- 12:33Speaker 2: civil or anti social to that extent, and they thought
- 12:37Speaker 2: that someone liked that. And there have been many cases
- 12:42Speaker 2: back in time and history of people who were raised
- 12:45Speaker 2: in the wild by animals like wolves. You know, you
- 12:48Speaker 2: remember Romulus and Remus and all this other stuff that
- 12:52Speaker 2: went on, and that's where they get the ifdeal for
- 12:55Speaker 2: tars and that these wild people were feral people. Sometimes
- 13:00Speaker 2: they would try to bring them back and assimilate them
- 13:02Speaker 2: back into civilization and it wouldn't work, you know, it
- 13:06Speaker 2: didn't work. I think there was one in Russia. I
- 13:08Speaker 2: can't remember what her name was. She was a Russian
- 13:11Speaker 2: lady and they found her in the wild and they've
- 13:15Speaker 2: tried to civilize her and maringer back into society, and
- 13:18Speaker 2: it went very badly wrong, and she ended up going
- 13:21Speaker 2: back to the wild. That was where she was happiest.
- 13:24Speaker 2: That that was where she was. She was used to.
- 13:27Speaker 2: You take somebody or something like that out of where
- 13:30Speaker 2: their atmosphere that they raised in the very precepts and everything,
- 13:37Speaker 2: and you put them in a whole different new world,
- 13:39Speaker 2: you're gonna have a bad reaction. And I think they
- 13:43Speaker 2: very badly and went wrong with the fact that they
- 13:45Speaker 2: thought they could put some of these people in asylums
- 13:47Speaker 2: and that would straighten them out, well, that would civilize
- 13:51Speaker 2: them or whatever the situation. And they were going about
- 13:55Speaker 2: it all in all the wrong ways, definitely.
- 14:00Speaker 1: But that's so interesting that you said that, because I
- 14:02Speaker 1: am going to be bringing up some accounts of some
- 14:05Speaker 1: of these wild men who were caught and put into
- 14:08Speaker 1: mental asylums, insane asylums, and you know, and I'm gonna
- 14:12Speaker 1: make this connection today because I think it's really interesting
- 14:14Speaker 1: because we were just I've talked about the mud flood
- 14:18Speaker 1: you know, I had doctor John Stamey on. We talked
- 14:20Speaker 1: about the mud floods and all these asylums and the
- 14:22Speaker 1: human the potential human resets, and how a lot of people,
- 14:26Speaker 1: I mean like a gigantic, huge amount of people were
- 14:29Speaker 1: put into these asylums that seemed to be repurposed castles. Okay,
- 14:34Speaker 1: so this is all kind of melding together. But they
- 14:39Speaker 1: were also not only putting potentially political dissidents and people
- 14:43Speaker 1: who weren't going along with the program into these asylums
- 14:46Speaker 1: and potentially given them lobotomies. And you know, there are
- 14:49Speaker 1: probably really some insane people in there too.
- 14:52Speaker 2: The wild men, too, kind of goes with the fact,
- 14:56Speaker 2: Yesica at all through time and that's just not a
- 14:59Speaker 2: thing in our modern time. It goes back in history science,
- 15:03Speaker 2: certain elements of science. They've tried to cover things up
- 15:06Speaker 2: or tried to change things to the way they want
- 15:08Speaker 2: it to be. It is part of their control over society,
- 15:13Speaker 2: and that's what it's all about. And like you said,
- 15:15Speaker 2: with what doctor Stampy said about, you know, the mud
- 15:19Speaker 2: floods and all these other things, they tried to cover
- 15:21Speaker 2: this stuff up or try to bury it, you know,
- 15:25Speaker 2: in that way because it doesn't fit what they want
- 15:31Speaker 2: to establish us control over us in many ways. And
- 15:35Speaker 2: I think that even goes to not just events that
- 15:39Speaker 2: have happened or even for civilization, but for individuals as well.
- 15:43Speaker 2: If you don't back in those days especially, and so
- 15:47Speaker 2: we're a little more leanient today than we once weren't.
- 15:50Speaker 2: But back in those days, if you didn't fit in
- 15:52Speaker 2: the mood, if you didn't fit into a certain thing
- 15:55Speaker 2: criteria they thought you should be in, they would do
- 15:59Speaker 2: anything rightly to change that. And then then to change
- 16:04Speaker 2: that's the way it went.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they would. And uh And okay, let's let's
- 16:13Speaker 1: talk a little bit about how popular these things were, okay,
- 16:17Speaker 1: because I can find a lot of newspaper articles on
- 16:21Speaker 1: wild men in the news, Okay, a lot, and people were,
- 16:25Speaker 1: like I mentioned earlier, they're really obsessed, kind of obsessed
- 16:28Speaker 1: with with wild men, and people wonder why, like what
- 16:32Speaker 1: was going on. Were there's just a ton of wild men? Uh,
- 16:34Speaker 1: well they were. It seems like there were a lot
- 16:36Speaker 1: of wild men, Okay, but people were finding they love
- 16:41Speaker 1: to go to like their main one of their highest forms.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Let me spit all this out. Having hard time putting
- 16:46Speaker 1: getting my words out today.
- 16:49Speaker 3: Uh.
- 16:49Speaker 1: They love going to the circus, okay, like traveling circus,
- 16:52Speaker 1: right and uh and this actually connects to some of
- 16:55Speaker 1: the other topics we've discussed on the channel. But they
- 16:58Speaker 1: love to go to the circus. And whenever the fair
- 17:00Speaker 1: would come into town, the circus would come into town,
- 17:03Speaker 1: like Varnum and Bailey's or PT. Varnum's Circus, they would
- 17:06Speaker 1: have something that they called like a side show, and
- 17:09Speaker 1: so they had people that were in these side shows
- 17:12Speaker 1: or humanoids or just strange people with strange characteristics. They
- 17:17Speaker 1: used to have what was like the fat lady stuff
- 17:21Speaker 1: what they call today's just like normal human you know,
- 17:23Speaker 1: but back then they had the bearded lady. They had
- 17:26Speaker 1: people that could stick knives down their throats and swords.
- 17:29Speaker 1: But they also had the hairy mint, the beastly men
- 17:33Speaker 1: and women at some of these events, and so they
- 17:37Speaker 1: would some would say they tried to catch these wild
- 17:41Speaker 1: men to put them in the circus. And now, and
- 17:44Speaker 1: you did mention earlier Xena, I think Xena was her name.
- 17:47Speaker 1: She was the Russian.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Likedertal or something just like a freak of nature, and
- 17:54Speaker 2: they thought people would pay money and to see stuff
- 17:57Speaker 2: like that, you know, and it was something strong and
- 18:00Speaker 2: eye of ordinary. I remember as a kid going to
- 18:03Speaker 2: the Fars and you probably remember this too. It went
- 18:07Speaker 2: on for many years until just recently. You had what
- 18:10Speaker 2: were called freak shows you had and some of these
- 18:14Speaker 2: were just people putting on because it was like, you know,
- 18:17Speaker 2: a nail head, he could drive nails in his head
- 18:20Speaker 2: and the different types of things you do. But then
- 18:22Speaker 2: you had some people born like this or had these
- 18:26Speaker 2: type of things going on that they were exhibited. I remember.
- 18:30Speaker 2: The most popular ones were definitely the doll face boy.
- 18:35Speaker 2: I know if you remember that, the doll face they
- 18:38Speaker 2: called him because he had long hair and all that,
- 18:40Speaker 2: and he didn't really look like a dog. He just
- 18:42Speaker 2: looked like somebody with a lot of hair. But that
- 18:46Speaker 2: was the way he was exhibited. Is the doll face boy,
- 18:49Speaker 2: and you had all these different freak sures. They were
- 18:51Speaker 2: making a lot of money on these things, okay, and
- 18:57Speaker 2: that was the showmanship back then. Of course, we yeah,
- 19:00Speaker 2: we live in a different age now we looked a
- 19:03Speaker 2: little bit slightly different upon these things. But once upon
- 19:06Speaker 2: the time, these we were, like they said, freaks of nature.
- 19:09Speaker 2: They thought this was something people would definitely pay to see,
- 19:13Speaker 2: something out of the ordinary, absolutely no matter what. And
- 19:17Speaker 2: I think that goes with the wildest so called wild
- 19:21Speaker 2: man fused they're back in back in like the eighteen
- 19:24Speaker 2: hundreds and all that few to come up with someone
- 19:26Speaker 2: like that, they would end it up in a freak
- 19:27Speaker 2: show very quickly because they could make some money on it.
- 19:32Speaker 1: Oh yeah, if they could be teamed enough to get
- 19:34Speaker 1: into a or I guess they just had to put
- 19:36Speaker 1: them in a cage. I mean, it just sounds it
- 19:38Speaker 1: sounds terrible.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Now.
- 19:39Speaker 1: The last picture I showed are two fellas, I think
- 19:42Speaker 1: the maybe brothers out of Mexico who are actually in
- 19:46Speaker 1: the circus. You know, they're sure they get paid. Okay,
- 19:49Speaker 1: they probably weren't forced to be in the circus, but
- 19:52Speaker 1: you know they were in the I think it's called
- 19:54Speaker 1: the Mexican International Circus. That's what that was. And that
- 19:58Speaker 1: does remind me of the where Wolf Springs train crash
- 20:02Speaker 1: back in back in the day, where it said that
- 20:06Speaker 1: you know, the train crashed, the circus performers escaped or
- 20:11Speaker 1: got out of the train, and the only two, it
- 20:14Speaker 1: was called specimens that escaped were the two wolfmen.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Here's the interesting thing, and I've done tons of research,
- 20:21Speaker 2: you know, over the years, and I've been doing this
- 20:24Speaker 2: for over half a century now, and what fascinates me
- 20:28Speaker 2: is that from town to town and in different time periods,
- 20:32Speaker 2: you have the same things. You have reports of wild
- 20:34Speaker 2: men and then you have also werewolf reports going on.
- 20:38Speaker 2: You have these different Almost every small, regular sized city
- 20:43Speaker 2: had these reports. I mean, I live in the town
- 20:45Speaker 2: right now that had a werewolf back in the werewolf
- 20:49Speaker 2: siding back in the forties. Okay, that made that made news,
- 20:53Speaker 2: that made the news. It was on newsreel. I have
- 20:56Speaker 2: to show it to you. Sometimes. Very interesting anyway, you
- 21:00Speaker 2: have this going from town to town. You have wareworf shidings,
- 21:03Speaker 2: you have wild men shidings, you have the witch sightings,
- 21:08Speaker 2: and all these different things that would have fascinated people,
- 21:12Speaker 2: that would have been great stuff for the newspaper articles
- 21:15Speaker 2: because they were always looking for something to keep their
- 21:19Speaker 2: circulation going and to keep their to keep the money
- 21:23Speaker 2: coming in. And as you could tell a story about
- 21:25Speaker 2: a wild man or a werewolf or an ape. Well,
- 21:28Speaker 2: there's a lot of stories about devil monkeys that people
- 21:31Speaker 2: are saying, we need to do a show on that.
- 21:33Speaker 2: Sometimes that's a fascinating money devil monkeys in a while. Anyway,
- 21:39Speaker 2: you have all these different things that pop up from
- 21:41Speaker 2: town to town very long. Whether I'm not gonna say
- 21:44Speaker 2: a little small hamlets there were just a couple of
- 21:47Speaker 2: store buildings. I'm talking about the more the bigger size
- 21:51Speaker 2: to towns you had this because they were also in
- 21:55Speaker 2: the circuit of these circuses and fads that would come through,
- 21:59Speaker 2: the shows that would come through, and that's how they
- 22:02Speaker 2: made money. But they keep theirself going time time, And
- 22:07Speaker 2: I can see why they were doing it because, like
- 22:09Speaker 2: I said, it's sold newspapers. That was a big thing
- 22:12Speaker 2: back in the day. That's how you got your news. Newspaper.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Now you don't you already ever see the most newspapers
- 22:18Speaker 2: are electronic now okay, but then that was the thing
- 22:22Speaker 2: you stood on SIDEWALKI sold of stuff. You talked about
- 22:24Speaker 2: it while men that you saw, uh, weird things that
- 22:29Speaker 2: happened to me that was that makes sense when you
- 22:34Speaker 2: think about it, And no wonder if beach popping up.
- 22:36Speaker 2: And I have read so many, I may hundreds of
- 22:39Speaker 2: accounts of these things being seen in different towns across
- 22:43Speaker 2: the South, especially and around the Appalachian Mountains. This was
- 22:47Speaker 2: very prevalent, Yes.
- 22:50Speaker 1: But I thought it was mostly over the South, Okay,
- 22:53Speaker 1: because I hear about all of the local wildman reports
- 22:57Speaker 1: from Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Florida. Florida has a
- 23:01Speaker 1: really famous one, South Carolina has Alabama the wild man. Okay,
- 23:07Speaker 1: so I thought it was mostly the South. But when
- 23:09Speaker 1: I started researching this, I'm finding reports in Washington, Okay,
- 23:15Speaker 1: all over the West coast. Actually. Now I found something
- 23:18Speaker 1: really interesting too, is that you know, when I was
- 23:21Speaker 1: talking about the different categories of the wild men, one
- 23:25Speaker 1: of the categories includes feral humans who are basically humans
- 23:31Speaker 1: who are deemed to be insane. Okay, now there's a
- 23:34Speaker 1: really interesting case out of Washington, and I'll go ahead
- 23:38Speaker 1: and talk about that. First. I was going to talk
- 23:39Speaker 1: about it last.
- 23:40Speaker 2: But let's talk.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and talk about it. Because this was
- 23:44Speaker 1: a man Okay, he actually let me find his name here. Okay,
- 23:51Speaker 1: I have I'm sorry, usually have my usually have my
- 23:55Speaker 1: notes printed out. I'm having to scroll. Okay. So this
- 23:58Speaker 1: is from the wild Men of Why New Nucci, Why
- 24:03Speaker 1: New Nucci. I think that's how you say that before
- 24:06Speaker 1: I go further on. And thank Mareen, thank you for you,
- 24:08Speaker 1: for you, and Gus from you and Gus for that supersticker.
- 24:11Speaker 1: I appreciate that very much. Yes, y'all hit the light button, please,
- 24:14Speaker 1: thank you. So okay, so this was actually back in
- 24:18Speaker 1: nineteen nineteen thirteen, the early nineteen hundreds. Actually there was
- 24:23Speaker 1: a man. Let me pull his picture up. He was
- 24:27Speaker 1: born a human boy. Okay. So this guy was actually
- 24:31Speaker 1: born a human and I have pictures of him with
- 24:35Speaker 1: his family. Okay, this is him.
- 24:39Speaker 2: Take this off.
- 24:40Speaker 1: So he is actually the little boy third from left, okay,
- 24:44Speaker 1: the little boy in the bat on the back row.
- 24:46Speaker 1: He was born human, okay, obviously. And and so what
- 24:53Speaker 1: is his name, John Torna or torn Now? What was
- 24:57Speaker 1: his name, John Tornew? And he was among the local loggers.
- 25:03Speaker 1: He was a nightmare figure for children in the area
- 25:06Speaker 1: as well. They called him the cougar man. And this
- 25:10Speaker 1: guy at some point went off into the woods. He
- 25:13Speaker 1: started living secluded in the woods in a cabin, a
- 25:17Speaker 1: little shanty cabin. He started he lost his mind, according
- 25:21Speaker 1: to what some people said, he lost his mind. He
- 25:23Speaker 1: was actually he lived off of eating bullfrogs, they said.
- 25:29Speaker 1: And and people were very curious about this guy because
- 25:34Speaker 1: he had a wild man's face, they says. They called
- 25:36Speaker 1: him the wild man. He lived out in the woods.
- 25:38Speaker 1: I mean, he started off a sane human, okay, an
- 25:41Speaker 1: actual sane person. And he was known to have like
- 25:46Speaker 1: a shaggy beard. He didn't really take care of himself,
- 25:48Speaker 1: and he lived on he lived off the land basically. Okay,
- 25:51Speaker 1: he lived off the land. Now he was unliving. People apparently,
- 25:58Speaker 1: including two of his nephews. He ended up unliving. Let
- 26:01Speaker 1: me see if I can show some of these pictures here.
- 26:04Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm I mean this is when Okay,
- 26:08Speaker 1: I'm only show him that that's him in the middle.
- 26:10Speaker 1: He's been unlived, Okay, so I'm only going to show
- 26:12Speaker 1: this for just a second. Those are some of the
- 26:14Speaker 1: men that did eventually find this man. This guy had
- 26:17Speaker 1: gone on unliving spreeze or something and have been burying
- 26:20Speaker 1: bodies out in the woods. And so they ended up
- 26:24Speaker 1: chasing him down and unliving him after he had unlived
- 26:28Speaker 1: his two nephews. Okay, nonetheless, he was known as a
- 26:33Speaker 1: wild man. They call him the wild man, and so
- 26:36Speaker 1: I did want to point that out that it's not
- 26:38Speaker 1: just all like bigfoot tight wildman. When people are referring
- 26:41Speaker 1: to wildman from the early nineteen hundreds and the eighteen hundreds.
- 26:44Speaker 2: If due to some mental illness you definitely had this
- 26:47Speaker 2: kind of turn of mind and you went out into
- 26:50Speaker 2: the forest and lived like an animal, people would look
- 26:54Speaker 2: upon that very distinctly as some of the type of
- 26:57Speaker 2: mental illness, and there would mean there might be definitely
- 27:00Speaker 2: mental illness involved in some of that, you know, definitely,
- 27:05Speaker 2: but they were unfortunately going about treating it the wrong
- 27:08Speaker 2: way other than what we would do nowadays in that situation.
- 27:12Speaker 2: But you know, Jessica, now to time, there's been a
- 27:15Speaker 2: lot of rumors of feral people, you know, being we've
- 27:19Speaker 2: we've done shows about that being seen out in especially
- 27:23Speaker 2: the appellations and different areas of the wilderness. That's not
- 27:28Speaker 2: only in this country. That's this is a worldwide thing, Okay.
- 27:32Speaker 2: It goes into many different countries, just like the Wildlanders.
- 27:37Speaker 2: And here's the interesting thing about the Wildland. There are
- 27:40Speaker 2: stories and rumors that for many years there were pockets
- 27:44Speaker 2: of Neanderthals left in the forest that the people would
- 27:50Speaker 2: encounter these people, these things, these beings, and that was
- 27:54Speaker 2: where the wild Man's story actually supposedly originated. And I
- 27:59Speaker 2: think this truth in that because, like I said earlier,
- 28:02Speaker 2: it's a lit of like a racial memory for us
- 28:05Speaker 2: that these things are still in our folklore, in our culture,
- 28:09Speaker 2: that we've encountered them without a doubt. Some of these
- 28:13Speaker 2: people might be sort of I would call it, how
- 28:17Speaker 2: the Neanderthal complex. That would be sort of another turn
- 28:22Speaker 2: to go this way to become faraoh like that. You know,
- 28:26Speaker 2: there's doesn't an explanation for that. Okay.
- 28:29Speaker 1: So when this gentleman passed away, they took him into
- 28:34Speaker 1: and they took him into town, and it was such
- 28:36Speaker 1: a fascinating thing because people wanted to see what this
- 28:38Speaker 1: man looked like because they heard that when he was unalive,
- 28:41Speaker 1: that he looked more like a gorilla than he looked
- 28:44Speaker 1: like a human, is what they said. They literally said,
- 28:47Speaker 1: he looked more like a gorilla. Let me see, I'm
- 28:51Speaker 1: trying to find he said. They fired the man who
- 28:53Speaker 1: unlived and fired seven times at what he described as
- 28:56Speaker 1: a large bearded head, more gorilla than human, his thirty
- 29:00Speaker 1: thirty rifle bullets clipping him like bark off in large
- 29:03Speaker 1: chunks around the outlaw as Torneaud fired back. Okay, So
- 29:07Speaker 1: the man who had gotten a gunfight with some people
- 29:09Speaker 1: that were bounty hunters that were trying to find him.
- 29:12Speaker 1: Now I also know about bounty hunters that were sent
- 29:14Speaker 1: out back then to hunt down the Okeefanokie giants as well.
- 29:19Speaker 1: So bounty hunters were kind of a thing back then
- 29:22Speaker 1: that were sent out to hunt down these wild men
- 29:24Speaker 1: and these giants.
- 29:26Speaker 2: It would be very interesting to see if you had
- 29:28Speaker 2: some kind of neandath all DNA going on there with that. Absolutely,
- 29:33Speaker 2: but to go that completely wild and zvero, they consider
- 29:37Speaker 2: that to be a very dislike a freak of nature.
- 29:41Speaker 2: And they didn't. They did. They would deal with it
- 29:43Speaker 2: by like hunting these people down and unlighting them definitely,
- 29:48Speaker 2: because like I said before, if you didn't fit in
- 29:51Speaker 2: their mode, you didn't fit in with their civilization. There
- 29:55Speaker 2: was no room left for you, you know, in that respect,
- 29:58Speaker 2: and that's kind of sad that they wouldn't went about
- 30:01Speaker 2: it this way. But uh yeah, I can kind of
- 30:04Speaker 2: see their point of view too, because here were these
- 30:08Speaker 2: ones that were human beings and no longer act like humans,
- 30:12Speaker 2: and they're dangerous, they're killing people. Maybe they're doing these things,
- 30:16Speaker 2: they're stealing livestock and all that. I can see their
- 30:20Speaker 2: point of view too. You know, if you had to
- 30:22Speaker 2: do something about that, and you had to, you know,
- 30:24Speaker 2: it was a problem that had to be taken care of.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Oh that's a really good point, hey, Dan.
- 30:31Speaker 1: Dan says that when domestic pigs returned to the wild,
- 30:34Speaker 1: they transformed into wild boars. Maybe it's like that, a
- 30:37Speaker 1: primal transformation.
- 30:39Speaker 2: They become very dangerous when that happens. I think there
- 30:43Speaker 2: was a story about a guy that had a large
- 30:47Speaker 2: hog and he got out of his pen and went wild,
- 30:51Speaker 2: and uh it actually grew tusk like a boer out
- 30:56Speaker 2: in the wild and would attack people to get killed
- 30:58Speaker 2: a couple of children. And they finally hunted this thing
- 31:03Speaker 2: down and killed it. But it had once been a
- 31:06Speaker 2: domestic swine.
- 31:09Speaker 1: Oh I have not heard of that before. That's wild
- 31:12Speaker 1: I didn't even know that they would go back to
- 31:14Speaker 1: I mean, I guess you have to just assume that
- 31:17Speaker 1: people would animals would go back to being more wild
- 31:21Speaker 1: when they have to take care of themselves. Domestication as
- 31:24Speaker 1: a hell of a thing, right.
- 31:26Speaker 2: So I saw I saw a film the other day.
- 31:28Speaker 2: I wish you could have send it I live syndity
- 31:31Speaker 2: if I can find it again. And it was a
- 31:33Speaker 2: group of bears in the wild that they took video
- 31:37Speaker 2: of this and in the middlem was a big husky
- 31:40Speaker 2: dog living he is actually he I think the dog
- 31:45Speaker 2: thinks he's a bear, okay, because he's falling along and
- 31:48Speaker 2: living with them, eating with them and everything. It's wild.
- 31:52Speaker 2: But he had some domesticated dog that went wild and
- 31:56Speaker 2: became part of the bear clan.
- 31:59Speaker 1: I know. I think that was from some drone footage
- 32:01Speaker 1: from a family. They had lost their dog and they
- 32:03Speaker 1: couldn't find him, and he had been gone for a
- 32:05Speaker 1: while and they just found him running wild with some
- 32:08Speaker 1: wild bears. So he was living his best life. Yeah,
- 32:12Speaker 1: he can't can't be mad at it, I guess as
- 32:15Speaker 1: long as they're getting along. So wow, I wonder, I
- 32:18Speaker 1: wonder what drones have done to keep you know, scared
- 32:22Speaker 1: of out of out of coming out of hiding and stuff.
- 32:26Speaker 1: Everybody's got drums out in the woods.
- 32:27Speaker 2: Now. My own personal story on that is my father
- 32:31Speaker 2: once years ago when he was when he was little,
- 32:34Speaker 2: they moved from one farm to another that he lived on,
- 32:38Speaker 2: and this dog got left behind and he went back
- 32:40Speaker 2: a year later to get his dog, find his dog,
- 32:43Speaker 2: and he did find it, but he had gone wild
- 32:46Speaker 2: and he and would not come back with him again.
- 32:48Speaker 2: So if you give an animal that chance, sometimes they
- 32:52Speaker 2: will definitely go Pharaoh, they'll go back to the sort
- 32:55Speaker 2: of go back to their wild nature. On that, and
- 32:59Speaker 2: I can see where people would do the same thing
- 33:03Speaker 2: in certain circumstances. You know, if we dropped you out
- 33:07Speaker 2: in the middle of the Oregon forest alone with just
- 33:10Speaker 2: maybe an a who knows what kind of Jessica Jones
- 33:14Speaker 2: would turn out from that, you might be very fair
- 33:16Speaker 2: when we found you again.
- 33:18Speaker 1: No, that's my second nature, man, I would I would
- 33:21Speaker 1: thrive out there like that.
- 33:24Speaker 2: You have to do what you got to do.
- 33:27Speaker 1: I'm prepared. I'm prepared. It would it would kind of
- 33:31Speaker 1: suck after you know, a week. Well, I don't know
- 33:33Speaker 1: you've ever seen that show Alone. There's a show called Alone,
- 33:36Speaker 1: and I don't know if they're still ared or not,
- 33:38Speaker 1: but I love that show. And it's where they would
- 33:41Speaker 1: actually take people by a helicopter, I believe, and they
- 33:44Speaker 1: would drop them off in the middle of these desolate
- 33:47Speaker 1: like desolate areas to survive and it's like, whoever stayed
- 33:51Speaker 1: out there the longest? One?
- 33:54Speaker 2: Ash youly, that is preferred training in some of the military,
- 34:00Speaker 2: you know, the Navy, seals and stuff like that. They
- 34:04Speaker 2: trained that way. That's the way they train, and they
- 34:06Speaker 2: will like drop you for like two or three weeks
- 34:08Speaker 2: out in the middle of nowhere with a knife. Yeah,
- 34:12Speaker 2: and that's it. You know, you got you gotta build
- 34:14Speaker 2: your own fires and do all these other things. It
- 34:17Speaker 2: toughens you up and it puts you in that frame
- 34:20Speaker 2: of mind to survive, and that is what you need.
- 34:25Speaker 2: That is the edge that you always need in a
- 34:28Speaker 2: lot of different situations, especially when it comes to military
- 34:32Speaker 2: situations of life or death.
- 34:34Speaker 1: You know, then said he'd learned to run on all fours.
- 34:38Speaker 1: Now that's a little freaky. It's crazy watching people run
- 34:41Speaker 1: on all fours. That's that's really weird. Now, I would
- 34:44Speaker 1: be great out there during the daytime. Now at night
- 34:46Speaker 1: out there by myself, it would be a whole other ballgame,
- 34:49Speaker 1: knowing what I know, knowing all the creatures that are
- 34:52Speaker 1: out there, and not having a weapon. I mean, if
- 34:55Speaker 1: you have to have a weapon, I'd make a weapon.
- 34:57Speaker 1: I'd make weapons. Okay, that's not an issue. But yeah,
- 35:01Speaker 1: my preferred method of protection would be a pew pew. Okay.
- 35:05Speaker 1: So anyways, I digress. This is let me go to
- 35:09Speaker 1: some of these wildman reports, because there's a lot of them,
- 35:12Speaker 1: and I think these are really significant, and so I
- 35:15Speaker 1: just wanted to kind of go down the list of
- 35:17Speaker 1: a few of these. Let's start off in North Carolina.
- 35:20Speaker 1: I was talking to my friend Amanda this morning. She
- 35:22Speaker 1: lives in North Carolina. So let's start in North Carolina.
- 35:24Speaker 1: Eighteen seventy seven. A party of gold miners. Of course
- 35:28Speaker 1: they're gold miners, because Bigfoots love gold and gold mines.
- 35:32Speaker 1: They were traveling through the Globe Valley in Caldwell County,
- 35:36Speaker 1: North Carolina. They described what they thought was a wild man,
- 35:41Speaker 1: although he was only forty yards from that wild man.
- 35:46Speaker 1: One miner claimed that it was a peculiar, peculiar specimen
- 35:51Speaker 1: of humanity appeared to be a giant about six foot five,
- 35:55Speaker 1: with a funnel shaped head and two inch long dark
- 35:58Speaker 1: hair covering his body. When he spotted the miners, he
- 36:02Speaker 1: pounded on his chest like Tarzan by the way, before
- 36:06Speaker 1: turning and bounding off into the woods with the speed
- 36:09Speaker 1: of a deer. The party tracked him with gunstrong into
- 36:12Speaker 1: a cave deep in the mountains, where they found bones
- 36:15Speaker 1: of many animals scattered around, indicating that he had lived
- 36:18Speaker 1: there for quite a while. Now, they said that it was,
- 36:23Speaker 1: you know, super similar to hundreds of other reports from
- 36:28Speaker 1: the southeast. Let's just say the southeast right now, because
- 36:31Speaker 1: we're kind of focusing on the Southeast, especially following the
- 36:35Speaker 1: Civil War. Now, I would assume that the Civil War
- 36:38Speaker 1: probably stirred up a lot of wildlife. I guess with
- 36:43Speaker 1: all the shooting and all the cannons going off and
- 36:46Speaker 1: all the fire, it had to put everything into it chizzy.
- 36:48Speaker 1: So maybe that's why there were a lot of wild
- 36:51Speaker 1: man reports after the Civil War. Dnis, would you would
- 36:53Speaker 1: you agree with that?
- 36:55Speaker 2: Yes? Matter of fact, there's been a lot of reports
- 36:58Speaker 2: from the Civil War. Directly after the Civil War people
- 37:02Speaker 2: actually going faraleh, going into the woods and living off
- 37:04Speaker 2: the land. Here's the interesting thing about that, since we've
- 37:09Speaker 2: mentioned mental illness earlier, the war can affect you. War
- 37:13Speaker 2: can affect you in mentally in many different ways. And
- 37:17Speaker 2: I think some of these guys might have been suffering from,
- 37:20Speaker 2: you know, shell shock and stuff like that. Traumas that
- 37:24Speaker 2: they went through change them and turn them into these things.
- 37:28Speaker 2: You know, it's very interesting. This whole thing is very ancient.
- 37:33Speaker 2: He goes way way way back. Look at the Look
- 37:36Speaker 2: at the biblical story of King nebuk and Azar. He
- 37:40Speaker 2: was turned into an animal by God for seven years.
- 37:43Speaker 2: He lived like an animal out in the forest, seven
- 37:47Speaker 2: years before he got back in his right mind. Again.
- 37:51Speaker 2: This thing has gone on, I think, I think this
- 37:53Speaker 2: can be some kind of sometimes I'm not saying every time,
- 37:56Speaker 2: but sometimes a definite mental illness thing going on here.
- 38:00Speaker 2: That these people have been to trauma or something that
- 38:03Speaker 2: has really changed their mind. I know my great great
- 38:06Speaker 2: great great grandfather, who fought into the Civil War, was
- 38:09Speaker 2: never the same after that. He was actually held in
- 38:13Speaker 2: a Yankee prison in Elmira and New York, where they
- 38:17Speaker 2: said that it was very inhumane conditions course to all
- 38:20Speaker 2: the prison prisoners back in there, North or South they
- 38:23Speaker 2: were terrible places. And when he got out, he actually
- 38:27Speaker 2: had another family up in ther that he had and
- 38:31Speaker 2: then years years later came back to the family in
- 38:34Speaker 2: the South that he had and they thought he was
- 38:37Speaker 2: dead all that time. They thought he was unalive by
- 38:40Speaker 2: the Civil War, but he was alive anyway. That's what
- 38:44Speaker 2: the war can do to you mentally, you know. And
- 38:47Speaker 2: that happened right after the Civil War. A lot of
- 38:49Speaker 2: people had problems like that, and some of them went
- 38:53Speaker 2: to the wild definitely.
- 38:56Speaker 1: Oh yeah, and this is this is terrible to but
- 39:00Speaker 1: you know it was. My great great grandfathers were in
- 39:04Speaker 1: the Civil War as well, and one of them, when
- 39:07Speaker 1: he finally made it home, he had scarring all over
- 39:11Speaker 1: his body on it from his head to his toes
- 39:13Speaker 1: where they were all starved nearly to death, and so
- 39:16Speaker 1: some of the men tried to eat him. They were
- 39:19Speaker 1: all trying to eat each other like cannibalism because they
- 39:21Speaker 1: had no food, and so he had scars all over
- 39:24Speaker 1: his body from that.
- 39:25Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 39:26Speaker 1: So okay, well, speaking of the Civil War, I have
- 39:29Speaker 1: a really good wild man story from the Civil War
- 39:32Speaker 1: in eighteen seventy one. Now this I believe this is
- 39:35Speaker 1: in Tennessee Okay, Tennessee. I was just up there at
- 39:39Speaker 1: the squatch out not too long ago. It says the
- 39:42Speaker 1: wild Man was rounded up by a squad of citizens
- 39:45Speaker 1: near Morgantown. Oh, this is West Virginia, actually West Virginia.
- 39:49Speaker 1: Described as half man, half beast, covered in rags with long,
- 39:53Speaker 1: brushy hair, giving him the appearance of a gorilla more
- 39:56Speaker 1: than a human being. The wild man said his name
- 39:59Speaker 1: was Thomas Foley, a native of Ireland. Bully had lived
- 40:03Speaker 1: in Connecticut for some years before fleeing for the wilds
- 40:05Speaker 1: of West Virginia, where he had been for only two years.
- 40:08Speaker 1: After one of the squad leaders brought him home and
- 40:10Speaker 1: dressed him in nice clothes, he took an opportunity to
- 40:13Speaker 1: escape and bolted into the mountains, tearing off his clothes
- 40:16Speaker 1: as he ran. The wild Man, who supposedly captured five
- 40:20Speaker 1: members of Braxton's Brag's Confederate Army in Tennessee, was reported
- 40:24Speaker 1: to be one Bill Payton, who refused to join the
- 40:27Speaker 1: Confederate Army and took to the hills to flee the
- 40:30Speaker 1: home Guard. Okay, so they sound like gorillas, but they
- 40:35Speaker 1: are humans. Okay, so it is. It seems as though
- 40:39Speaker 1: they lost their minds.
- 40:44Speaker 2: I think the one reason why that you hear a
- 40:47Speaker 2: lot about Harryman is it called and there used to
- 40:50Speaker 2: be a very interesting stories to tell kids about that
- 40:52Speaker 2: call about Wiley and the Harryman. I think the interesting
- 40:56Speaker 2: thing about a me and call. I don't think some
- 40:58Speaker 2: of these may have been covered with human hair. I
- 41:00Speaker 2: think a lot of these guys were wearing animal skins,
- 41:04Speaker 2: and that might have made them look more like gorillas,
- 41:07Speaker 2: you know, like they had a lot of hair all
- 41:09Speaker 2: over their bodies and all that. Because animal skins, that's
- 41:13Speaker 2: the number one available clothes out in the while. Okay,
- 41:16Speaker 2: you can't dress with fig leaves and all that. It's
- 41:18Speaker 2: not a live long. You got to have some kind
- 41:20Speaker 2: of covering. And that's why we all we don't walk
- 41:23Speaker 2: around naked. Okay. It's not because we would blush about
- 41:28Speaker 2: it or we would find that uncomfortable, which we bother
- 41:30Speaker 2: would definitely, but we wear clothes to protect our bodies. Okay.
- 41:37Speaker 2: Your number one organ of your body is not your heart,
- 41:40Speaker 2: by the way, it's your skin, which covers your whole body,
- 41:44Speaker 2: and it needs to be protected from the coal, from
- 41:47Speaker 2: the weather, from scratches and all that. You know, that's
- 41:50Speaker 2: why we wear heavy clothing and stuff. And when we
- 41:54Speaker 2: go out in the woods, we run in the briars
- 41:56Speaker 2: with thorns. It's a rough thing. Okay, you need clothes
- 42:01Speaker 2: and you you the number one thing that you would
- 42:04Speaker 2: find in the wild would definitely be animal skins, and
- 42:07Speaker 2: that's what you would close yourself with. And I think
- 42:10Speaker 2: a lot of these wild guys get depicted that way,
- 42:12Speaker 2: you know, they they and I think there may be
- 42:15Speaker 2: some misunderstanding on that part. I believe some of them
- 42:18Speaker 2: are just wearing animal skins and they're not gorilla looking
- 42:22Speaker 2: like things.
- 42:23Speaker 3: Uh.
- 42:24Speaker 2: That would be definitely what feral people would do without that. Yes. Wow.
- 42:31Speaker 1: Aaron has an interesting comment here because we just covered
- 42:35Speaker 1: the Chickamauga Old Green Eyes with our friend Greg Smith,
- 42:38Speaker 1: who came on the show a couple a few weeks ago,
- 42:41Speaker 1: and and she says, there is a report of Indians
- 42:45Speaker 1: neander Thal Lloyd and the Lloyd couple in Chickamauga, that's
- 42:51Speaker 1: where Old Green Eyes is and the woman did walk
- 42:53Speaker 1: on all fours, but most likely this was a function
- 42:56Speaker 1: of the terrain in northwest Georgia. Oh okay, oh my gosh,
- 43:01Speaker 1: that's wild. I'll have to have to look into that
- 43:04Speaker 1: a little bit more. Aaron, You've got some good info. Okay,
- 43:06Speaker 1: good intel. I appreciate it. And not too far from
- 43:10Speaker 1: there where we're talking about the kind of East Tennessee
- 43:12Speaker 1: area too. I mean that's Chickamaug is right there at Chattanooga, Tennessee.
- 43:16Speaker 1: And I have another account from eighteen ninety six.
- 43:20Speaker 2: Oh yes, Old Green Eyes to be demonic in many ways,
- 43:25Speaker 2: I think so. I think these are drawn to battle
- 43:29Speaker 2: fields and places that did like that and all that.
- 43:32Speaker 2: I think that's got a lot to do with it.
- 43:34Speaker 2: But there are also other reports of other strange things
- 43:37Speaker 2: being seen around man, not just Old Green Eyes. There's
- 43:40Speaker 2: some other stuff going on around the Chickamauga area. Definitely,
- 43:45Speaker 2: we'll make some good interesting research it does.
- 43:49Speaker 1: I can't wait to get up there and do some research.
- 43:51Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna go out and do some research
- 43:53Speaker 1: with Greg and his people up there. Okay, So in
- 43:58Speaker 1: eighteen ninety.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Six, as you to take certain spiritual precautions when you
- 44:03Speaker 2: do that, because it sounds very demonic to mean.
- 44:08Speaker 1: I will, I will. I will consult with you, Dennis,
- 44:11Speaker 1: Okay before I go up there, I promise, thank you. Okay,
- 44:15Speaker 1: All right. So in eighteen ninety six, Forest and Stream
- 44:17Speaker 1: published a sketch The wild Man of Chiliwee, a gruffalo
- 44:22Speaker 1: type creature with talon like fingernails and toenails, tusks instead
- 44:26Speaker 1: of teeth, and hair, and a beard to his waist.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Four hunters encountered the naked man in the forests of
- 44:34Speaker 1: East Tennessee, and after following him back to where he lived,
- 44:38Speaker 1: they attempted to seize him and haul him back to Cleveland, Tennessee,
- 44:41Speaker 1: but the man used his brute strength to overpower the
- 44:44Speaker 1: men and run. A posse later returned for the wild man,
- 44:47Speaker 1: captured him, and sent him to the Insane Asylum, where,
- 44:51Speaker 1: according to the report, he now reposes in comfort.
- 44:55Speaker 2: That sounds very Neanderthal to me, that sounds very much
- 44:59Speaker 2: like not of the Anderthal. Uh. You know that would
- 45:03Speaker 2: be interesting, Jessica, wonder about that. There might be pockets
- 45:06Speaker 2: of Neanderthals. They still exist in our world, and very
- 45:10Speaker 2: far out. You know a lot of areas of virgin falls.
- 45:14Speaker 2: We have never set foot in some of these places,
- 45:16Speaker 2: especially in Oregon and Washington. Places like that, certain parts
- 45:20Speaker 2: of California that no man or woman has ever been in. Uh.
- 45:24Speaker 2: There could be anything out there, and what if there
- 45:26Speaker 2: are some remaining pockets of Neanderthals out there. That's fascinating
- 45:31Speaker 2: to think about it.
- 45:32Speaker 1: Yes, it's it's really quite disturbing actually when you think
- 45:36Speaker 1: about it. But okay, let's see. So they mentioned Cleveland, Tennessee.
- 45:42Speaker 1: Now I believe Cleveland is the same area where this
- 45:46Speaker 1: it is. It's a Cleveland Banner, Okay. So Aaron sent
- 45:48Speaker 1: me this what we're about to talk about right now,
- 45:51Speaker 1: And now I did some digging. I was trying to
- 45:53Speaker 1: find the actual article online. I couldn't find it, but
- 45:56Speaker 1: I did find that this, this Cleveland Banner does exists. Okay,
- 46:01Speaker 1: this newspaper. They've been around since the eighteen fifties I believe, okay,
- 46:05Speaker 1: or maybe even before that. And so this is this
- 46:09Speaker 1: is just like, this has nothing to do with what
- 46:11Speaker 1: we're talking about today, but I did want to pull
- 46:13Speaker 1: it up. They I think they went into business in
- 46:16Speaker 1: eighteen forty, eighteen fifty something like that. And they did
- 46:19Speaker 1: report on wild men. I'm sure they did. They're in
- 46:22Speaker 1: East Tennessee. I couldn't find the exact article online, though,
- 46:25Speaker 1: But let me tell you what what Aaron. Let me
- 46:29Speaker 1: let me recite what Aaron sent me. Okay, So Aaron said,
- 46:33Speaker 1: so there's this.
- 46:35Speaker 2: She sent me this.
- 46:36Speaker 1: She said, this is the weird sighting was never able
- 46:39Speaker 1: to verify this existence of John Harecrow, but David Balllew
- 46:44Speaker 1: Junior was a real person. My interpretation was the first
- 46:47Speaker 1: report was true. The second may not be full and
- 46:51Speaker 1: maybe not fully true, but there maybe bit some pieces
- 46:54Speaker 1: or truth in it. Okay, So let me get into
- 46:56Speaker 1: what we're talking about here. So on May twenty third
- 46:59Speaker 1: of eight, eighteen seventy three, in the Cleveland Banner, that
- 47:03Speaker 1: magazine or that newspaper, which I do believe they've been posting.
- 47:07Speaker 1: They do like three releases a week, Okay, so like
- 47:11Speaker 1: they print three times a week. They've been doing this.
- 47:14Speaker 1: This is eighteen hundreds. They wrote an article called monster
- 47:17Speaker 1: at Large, Okay, and it says somebody wrote in and said,
- 47:21Speaker 1: dear sir, the horrible sight of a hairy man has
- 47:24Speaker 1: been seen in fannin County Georgia, which is actually right
- 47:29Speaker 1: near Chickamauga. It's not too far from all that, but
- 47:31Speaker 1: it's if you're at the very tip of the top
- 47:33Speaker 1: of Georgia, it's the county right dead center in the
- 47:36Speaker 1: middle right by Tennessee, Bannon County, Georgia, is wild and monstrous.
- 47:43Speaker 1: He has been seen in houses carrying off women and children.
- 47:47Speaker 1: He is eight feet high and is covered all over
- 47:50Speaker 1: with black, curly hair. He started from a house lately
- 47:52Speaker 1: with the woman in his arms, but the approach of
- 47:55Speaker 1: two men, she was released. The settlement has alarmed and
- 47:59Speaker 1: pursuit give on horseback. After a hard ride, the monster
- 48:04Speaker 1: was overtaken and a terrible fight ensued in which a
- 48:08Speaker 1: man by the name of John Harecrow was unalived and
- 48:13Speaker 1: a horse had his tail torn off, and the pursuers
- 48:17Speaker 1: were forced to retreat and leave the field. In possession
- 48:21Speaker 1: of the monster. The settlers are arming themselves with guns
- 48:25Speaker 1: and watching for him. He makes his appearance just before
- 48:29Speaker 1: in time of a rain. Okay, so right before it
- 48:32Speaker 1: rains is when he usually comes out, says yours truly,
- 48:35Speaker 1: David below Balllew, Junior, Wolf Creek, Cherokee County, North Carolina,
- 48:40Speaker 1: May thirteenth. All right, So this is interesting because then
- 48:45Speaker 1: the Savannah Morning News, which is in Savannah, Georgia over
- 48:48Speaker 1: on the east coast, put an article in their paper
- 48:52Speaker 1: on June fourth of eighteen seventy three. We copy the
- 48:55Speaker 1: following from the Western press, where it is highly popular.
- 48:58Speaker 1: The wild Man in the Woods has made his annual
- 49:00Speaker 1: appearents once more, and very early he brings this time
- 49:03Speaker 1: in Fannin County, Georgia. He is represented to be eight
- 49:07Speaker 1: feet high, and in a recent fight with some citizens
- 49:10Speaker 1: who attempted to capture him, he killed one of them,
- 49:13Speaker 1: as represented, and tore the tail off a horse. On
- 49:19Speaker 1: June the twelfth of eighteen seventy three, the Cambridge City Tribune,
- 49:22Speaker 1: which is in Indiana, wrote, the wild Man in the
- 49:25Speaker 1: Woods is in Georgia. Now he has got to be
- 49:28Speaker 1: eight feet high and tears out a horse's taill with
- 49:30Speaker 1: one turn of the wrist. Okay, so this was spreading.
- 49:34Speaker 1: This is how new spread, of course, like it does today.
- 49:37Speaker 1: And then in the Cleveland Banner this interesting article came out.
- 49:43Speaker 1: Now this is weird, Dennis, this is so weird, and
- 49:46Speaker 1: I'm going to read this full thing. I think the
- 49:49Speaker 1: audience deserves to hear this one. Okay, it says, dear sir.
- 49:55Speaker 1: This was written in the newspaper The Horrible Sight of
- 49:58Speaker 1: the Hairy Man. Given an account in the the Banner
- 50:00Speaker 1: twenty third Ultimo by D. A. Bellew is creating a
- 50:03Speaker 1: wild excitement in this county, and still more horrible to relate,
- 50:07Speaker 1: there had been seen in company of him a dwarf
- 50:09Speaker 1: man and a large wild bull. The dwarf man is
- 50:13Speaker 1: slightly inclined to be hairy. His eyes look like balls
- 50:16Speaker 1: of fire. He appears to be about five and three
- 50:19Speaker 1: quarters feet high, very lean, and supposed to weigh not
- 50:22Speaker 1: more than thirty six pounds, and breathing. He makes a
- 50:26Speaker 1: small whistling noise through his nose and can be heard
- 50:28Speaker 1: a quarter of a mile. The strange breathing is so
- 50:31Speaker 1: loud as to warn the excited women and children of
- 50:33Speaker 1: his approach in time to hide. The bull is supposed
- 50:36Speaker 1: to weigh over two thousand pounds, is wild and furious,
- 50:39Speaker 1: and can run as fast as a fleet horse. The
- 50:43Speaker 1: monster hairy Man, as Blue informed you, is eight feet
- 50:46Speaker 1: high in about four hundred pounds, and is equal in
- 50:50Speaker 1: speed and strength to the bull. The dwarf and bulls
- 50:53Speaker 1: seem to be under the supreme control of the hairy Man.
- 50:57Speaker 1: The hairy man in the bull have been seen on
- 50:59Speaker 1: the high sunny points the crackers Neck Mountain, ricking each other.
- 51:04Speaker 1: They have also been seen to make several circuits around
- 51:07Speaker 1: the summit of this mountain at a very high speed,
- 51:09Speaker 1: making a noise like a storm of wind, seeming to
- 51:12Speaker 1: be sporting. The hairy man passed through the settlement and
- 51:15Speaker 1: picked up a cast off jewel, which he seemed to
- 51:18Speaker 1: prize very highly, as he was seen fondling and amusing
- 51:22Speaker 1: himself with it. Sounds kind of weird. These monsters seem
- 51:26Speaker 1: to possess supernatural powers. They can gauge, They can cause
- 51:30Speaker 1: ghosts to be seen anywhere in the settlement, making the
- 51:33Speaker 1: most horrible noises ever heard by man. A widow lady
- 51:36Speaker 1: and two lovely daughters have been frightened by those monsters
- 51:39Speaker 1: until they are almost maniacs. The widow and one of
- 51:42Speaker 1: her daughters were mesmerized and carried a half mile from
- 51:46Speaker 1: home in the dead hours of night. They may not
- 51:50Speaker 1: be sensible of their removal and shut and shut up
- 51:53Speaker 1: an old, dilapidated house standing near a dismal swamp. When
- 51:58Speaker 1: they awoke from the mesmeric spell, they heard a thundering
- 52:01Speaker 1: crash come down from above. The roof of the old
- 52:02Speaker 1: house was wrung off, and they heard the strange breathing
- 52:05Speaker 1: of the dwarf man high up in the elements. In
- 52:07Speaker 1: a moment, he came through the house, saying, peace, dear
- 52:09Speaker 1: widow and daughter. I am wire worker and have power
- 52:13Speaker 1: even to move regiments, and am acting under orders of
- 52:17Speaker 1: the Hairy Man. They were there for three hours, dreadful hours,
- 52:21Speaker 1: listening to his incantations. Frantic with fear, they were suddenly
- 52:24Speaker 1: mesmerized and seriously carried to their home. After remaining at home,
- 52:28Speaker 1: they did not know how long they had been there,
- 52:31Speaker 1: the spell was removed, and they heard strange breathing on
- 52:34Speaker 1: top of their chimney, repeated by incantations, and on opening
- 52:39Speaker 1: their eyes was the monster hairy Man with his jewel
- 52:44Speaker 1: the daughter. They just felt like they were put under
- 52:46Speaker 1: a spell. Okay, I mean that is a really strange
- 52:49Speaker 1: story and almost sounds like a creative writing project kind of.
- 52:52Speaker 1: But what is your take on this, Dennis?
- 52:56Speaker 2: Well, Basically, what they're describing here is what is called
- 53:00Speaker 2: in the Appalachian Mountains a conjure man, and the conjure
- 53:03Speaker 2: man can appear in many different ways. He is really
- 53:07Speaker 2: what you would call a wizard or a witch. He
- 53:11Speaker 2: can do different things, and the little dwarf with him
- 53:14Speaker 2: sounds very much like a demon. Familiar that you would
- 53:18Speaker 2: have if you were a witch or wizard, you would
- 53:21Speaker 2: have a familiar demon that would be your little sidekick,
- 53:25Speaker 2: you might say. And in that respect, and the bull,
- 53:28Speaker 2: I think is also a representation of this power that
- 53:33Speaker 2: he has control over animals and people and you hearing
- 53:37Speaker 2: about them doing incantations. All this is a long history
- 53:40Speaker 2: in the appellations about the conjure men. They were feared
- 53:44Speaker 2: by the people, and they were very afraid of these
- 53:48Speaker 2: things because they were sort of like wishes on steroids.
- 53:53Speaker 2: They were very bad guys to deal with. And they
- 53:56Speaker 2: could be a contra man, that could be a conture woman. Okay,
- 53:59Speaker 2: you had both sides of the coin there, but they
- 54:02Speaker 2: could do things extraordinarily more so than your common wish
- 54:08Speaker 2: could do. Okay, And that was the way these people
- 54:11Speaker 2: looked on it. And that is a definitely account of
- 54:14Speaker 2: a conjure man. Now, the conjure man is also described
- 54:19Speaker 2: in two ways. Is having a lot of hair and
- 54:21Speaker 2: a giant He's always big, he's always like eight or
- 54:25Speaker 2: nine foot tall, and he can be hairy, but he
- 54:27Speaker 2: can also be wearing a hairy coat that you can
- 54:31Speaker 2: take off, like a long coat that you can wearing it.
- 54:34Speaker 2: It's sort of like a camel hair coat company anyway,
- 54:38Speaker 2: that is the way he's often described. So what you've
- 54:40Speaker 2: got there is an account of a conjure man.
- 54:45Speaker 1: Oh wow, I see.
- 54:47Speaker 3: I love that.
- 54:47Speaker 1: I've not heard of that before, so that makes total sense.
- 54:51Speaker 1: So this could be this could be some truth. I mean,
- 54:55Speaker 1: like Aaron was saying, there's no you know, one of
- 54:59Speaker 1: those people is as a fictitional, fictitious person potentially, But
- 55:03Speaker 1: what are the odds or what are the chances of
- 55:07Speaker 1: maybe even people back then didn't want their real names
- 55:09Speaker 1: used for things like this, because we're still talking about weird,
- 55:12Speaker 1: supernatural stuff that could really ruin your reputation.
- 55:16Speaker 2: I would think, yeah, they did. There was a time
- 55:20Speaker 2: that you didn't talk about things like this, definitely. I
- 55:22Speaker 2: mean I've had that back and many many years ago,
- 55:25Speaker 2: when I first started in studying all this stuff and
- 55:28Speaker 2: getting involved in it, you didn't talk about things very
- 55:31Speaker 2: much like you do now. It's my while in the
- 55:33Speaker 2: open now, but back in the day, if you talked
- 55:36Speaker 2: about certain subjects like this, they were ready to put
- 55:39Speaker 2: you somewhere because they thought you were definitely mentally off.
- 55:45Speaker 2: And there is to this day and I'm the current
- 55:48Speaker 2: of that unbelief still there. You know, some people will say,
- 55:52Speaker 2: I don't believe in that stuff. I don't believe in
- 55:54Speaker 2: all that stuff. But let me tell you what happened
- 55:55Speaker 2: to me. There is always an element of it where
- 55:59Speaker 2: they do really belie, but they don't only actually admit it.
- 56:03Speaker 2: And that that was very prevailing back in the days,
- 56:06Speaker 2: back in the days when these things like that happened.
- 56:08Speaker 2: And I can see where they were coming from with
- 56:11Speaker 2: that as well. For sure.
- 56:13Speaker 1: Now I do want to speaking of mental hospitals and
- 56:18Speaker 1: insane lunatic asylums and stuff I want to. I think
- 56:22Speaker 1: it's a good time to talk about the O Cheesy
- 56:23Speaker 1: Pond wild Man down in Florida. So the wild Man
- 56:27Speaker 1: of O Cheesy Pond, it's kind of like a they
- 56:29Speaker 1: say it was kind of a I think it was
- 56:31Speaker 1: like a type four sasquatch, like a Neanderthal looking man
- 56:34Speaker 1: covered in thick hair. He was captured in eighteen eighty
- 56:37Speaker 1: four after some farms, like some gardens were raided. So
- 56:43Speaker 1: he was out there taking people's food out of their
- 56:45Speaker 1: gardens and uni unidentifiable and thought to be insane. They
- 56:51Speaker 1: caught him in the pond like he used to go
- 56:53Speaker 1: take baths in the cheesy pond, and I have pictures here.
- 56:59Speaker 1: Let's see this is okay, So here's the actual pond.
- 57:03Speaker 1: It's more like a swamp. Okay, it's so cheesy swamp
- 57:06Speaker 1: in my opinion. I mean, I would not personally go
- 57:08Speaker 1: swimming in that because I know there's alligators down there.
- 57:12Speaker 1: I have swam with alligators before, Oh yeah, but I
- 57:15Speaker 1: wouldn't today if I didn't have to. So there's that.
- 57:20Speaker 1: This oh cheesy pond wild man was actually captured, okay.
- 57:24Speaker 1: I think they caught him while he was in the
- 57:26Speaker 1: pond taking a bath one day, and they took him
- 57:29Speaker 1: to from what I can remember, they took him to
- 57:31Speaker 1: the state capitol in Tallahassee s either Gainesville or Tallahassee,
- 57:36Speaker 1: I think it was Tallahassee and put him in front
- 57:39Speaker 1: of the governor. The governor said, oh, hell no, I
- 57:43Speaker 1: don't want anything to do with this, and shipped him
- 57:46Speaker 1: off to the Florida State Hospital. Now this is actually
- 57:50Speaker 1: in Chattahoochee. Chattahoochee. This is a picture from nineteen thirteen,
- 57:54Speaker 1: which I find this interesting because if you look at
- 57:57Speaker 1: that picture of this old hospital, it looks really old,
- 58:00Speaker 1: but it also looks like it could have been a castle.
- 58:03Speaker 1: All right, I'm just like.
- 58:06Speaker 2: Prisons, and this is where you sent people. You didn't
- 58:09Speaker 2: want to deal with it anymore, no matter what the
- 58:12Speaker 2: situation was. And I think the very famous reporter Nellie
- 58:15Speaker 2: Bly actually did an expo was a on the insane asylum.
- 58:20Speaker 2: She got put in one on purpose to see what
- 58:23Speaker 2: was going on inside and how they were treating people.
- 58:27Speaker 2: And they were horrific conditions in these places. They were
- 58:30Speaker 2: doing things that we would consider torture to people. They
- 58:34Speaker 2: were putting them in the ice baths and then they
- 58:36Speaker 2: would dip them in the hot water and all they
- 58:38Speaker 2: do all these weird things to try to affect them mentally. Supposedly,
- 58:43Speaker 2: they thought this was the only way they could treat
- 58:46Speaker 2: mental instability. These were not just asylums. They were like prisons. Absolutely. Yeah.
- 58:55Speaker 1: It's very sad, and a lot of people were put
- 58:59Speaker 1: in to these mental asylums that probably didn't need to
- 59:04Speaker 1: be there. They really didn't, especially women too. A lot
- 59:07Speaker 1: of men they were tired of their wife, they'd throw
- 59:09Speaker 1: them in the mental institution.
- 59:10Speaker 2: That was the fear that they had to live with
- 59:12Speaker 2: back in those days. I mean, if you were to
- 59:14Speaker 2: say the wrong thing or maybe reach the wrong opinion
- 59:19Speaker 2: or the wrong belief in something like say, oh yeah,
- 59:21Speaker 2: I believe they're wishes or stuff like that. Whatever the
- 59:24Speaker 2: situation is that people took offense to that, that's where
- 59:27Speaker 2: they would stick you. They would think they would put
- 59:29Speaker 2: you in that mental hospital. So you had to live
- 59:32Speaker 2: with that fear if I say the wrong thing, well
- 59:35Speaker 2: I end up in an asylum. You know. That was
- 59:39Speaker 2: just the atmosphere they lived in in those times.
- 59:43Speaker 1: Oh yeah, well you know. Okay, So I'm not sure
- 59:47Speaker 1: that they ever admitted that this was like a bigfoot
- 59:50Speaker 1: or a sasquatch or anything like that. I do have
- 59:53Speaker 1: to say that I have done some research on a
- 59:56Speaker 1: private residence property in Chattahoochee, Florida, where this hospital is
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: right down the road. It was actually the Bridges House. Now,
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: I was asked back then, this was almost ten years ago.
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: It was probably eight or nine years ago when I
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: did this. We were called down to their house to
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: go investigate bigfoot sightings. Okay, they'd had a bigfoot that
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: came up on their back porch and it banged on
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: their window and it yelled and screamed, And they've been
- 1:00:24Speaker 1: having a lot of bigfoot sightings there. Well, they were
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: very private about it back then, and so I was
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: asked not to ever, you know, say their name publicly
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: and stuff. And that was before I ever was public,
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: so you know, I didn't have an issue with that.
- 1:00:38Speaker 1: But since then, they've been on Animal Planet, they've been
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: featured on all sorts of different shows when it comes
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: to bigfoot. The bridges down there, and they had so
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: much activity on their on their property. Actually, we camped
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: out on their in their yard. They have a bunch
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: of acreage out there and they call it the enchanted Forest.
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: Okay.
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: Stacy Brown of renowned bigfooter, who he and his dad
- 1:01:02Speaker 1: had gotten some of the best skunk ape footage down
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: in Florida, got some of it on their property in
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: that same exact location where I had done that research
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: a long time ago down there and got he got
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: some good flear footage, some thermal footage of a skunk
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: ape on their property down there. So but anyways, I'm
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: just I'm only saying that because I've been there. It
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: is an area of extreme high strangeness already, and then
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: they've got the mental you know, the State hospital there.
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: That's where a lot of my research is aiming at. Nowadays,
- 1:01:34Speaker 2: there is a strange connection with bigfoot dog man things
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: like that, with magic or something like that element going
- 1:01:41Speaker 2: on with it. I don't know what that connection is
- 1:01:44Speaker 2: for and why it's there, but it's a fascinating aspect
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: of the research when you get into it. Why are
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: certain things like this connected with powers of nature or
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: dark powers and all this other stuff. There is a
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: definite connection going on it. And also there is a
- 1:02:03Speaker 2: connection to the wild man in that respect too, because
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: he is seen as having a direct part in the
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: power of nature and the darkness of nature. Maybe perhaps
- 1:02:15Speaker 2: that's very interesting to look at and consider the fact
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: that this is not just here and not just in
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: we're in our neighborhood, but this is in Europe and
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: the old and the Old World. All this stuff went on.
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: There was a definite tie in and a lot of
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: this stuff. And here's the thing I got to wonder about, Jessica.
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: When we came here to the New World, we brought
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: a lot of things with us. We brought our ghosts in,
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: our witches and our gobbins and our wild men and
- 1:02:43Speaker 2: all that that came with us. They came over with us. Okay,
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: that's the interesting part of all this culturally wise.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, we did we brought everything with us.
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: Oh gosh.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: You know.
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: I actually had an article that I can show that
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: didn't come out of the newspaper, and I did mention
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: the West Virginia incident where those I think it was
- 1:03:04Speaker 1: some of the Civil War soldiers had Oh no, this
- 1:03:08Speaker 1: is a different one. Actually, this is where the Okay,
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: so I haven't gone over this one yet. The wild
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: man attacks a train. All right, Now, let me find
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: my notes on this. Sorry, I usually have my notes
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: in my hand. So this is another really interesting one
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: because there were a ton of witnesses to this. And
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: here it is from nineteen oh five. Okay, March third,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: nineteen oh five. This is from the Daily Telegram newspaper
- 1:03:34Speaker 1: based out of Clarksburg, West Virginia. It reported that passenger
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: trains coming through opah Kiska, a small community in Mongola.
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: We'll like Mongolia. Okay, it's a county up there, Like,
- 1:03:49Speaker 1: that's not the word, though, located on the Mono Galila
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: River between Fairmont. Fairmont and Morgantown, were being attacked by
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: a wild After one man was arrested, the attacks continued.
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: So they blamed it on a human, all right, and
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: they arrested him. The attacks continued, scaring both trained personnel
- 1:04:10Speaker 1: and passengers so badly they refused to go after the
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: wild man themselves. And so I will read this article
- 1:04:17Speaker 1: real quick. It says the Daily Telegram, the citizens of
- 1:04:21Speaker 1: mon Mono Gogglia County are thoroughly aroused over the strange
- 1:04:27Speaker 1: and murderous actions of a man in that county, whose
- 1:04:30Speaker 1: identity has not been established so far, and whose capture
- 1:04:33Speaker 1: seems a remote possibility unless the state authorities organize a
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: posse and force him to surrender. Only a few days ago,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: as chronicled, a man was seen standing on the track
- 1:04:45Speaker 1: in front of the passenger train near Morgantown. He was
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: violently waving his hands. The train did not stop, and
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: he was compelled to step aside to save himself. As
- 1:04:54Speaker 1: the train was passing, he fired several shots at it. Later,
- 1:04:58Speaker 1: a fellow lynch was a had suspected of the deed
- 1:05:01Speaker 1: and is yet held. But after his arrests, the matter
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: of trying to hold up passenger trains continued, and Thursday
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: afternoon at opah Kaiseki, as the passenger train was coming
- 1:05:12Speaker 1: towards Fairmont, a strange looking man stoned it. The train
- 1:05:16Speaker 1: stopped after having run him, and the brakeman went back
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: to arrest the fellow, but as he approached him, the
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: fellow showed fight, and the trainmen grew so nervous over
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: the man's strange appearance that he returned to the train.
- 1:05:29Speaker 1: By the time he boarded the train, it had started again,
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: and the brakeman called upon the passengers to volunteer to
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: go with him to capture this giant. As he was
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: at least six feet tall in ward a beard all
- 1:05:40Speaker 1: over his face which looked more like a mass of
- 1:05:42Speaker 1: bristles than whiskers. The passengers were not sufficiently alarmed over
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: the attempt made by the fellow on their lives to
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: organize themselves into a posse and pursue him. And that's it, okay,
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: So that's odd okay? Or they it might user. Did
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: they see that this willd men fired a gun? Hey,
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: they said that he fired a gun, So let me
- 1:06:05Speaker 1: see he's got weapons. It's probably not a bigfoot.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: No, that was definitely not a big foot. I don't
- 1:06:12Speaker 2: think that. But there have been reports. I was thinking
- 1:06:15Speaker 2: about this while you were reading that there have been
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: reports of bigfoots actually attacking camps, actually attacking tribes of
- 1:06:24Speaker 2: Indigenous people. There was like, I think the some of
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: the indigenous people had or with bigfoots for a while.
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: They finally came to peaceable terms onn't it. But anything
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: like that would probably attack something like a train, definitely.
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: But that doesn't sound like Bigfoot. It sounds more like
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: a Neanderthal type kind of a guy. And there again
- 1:06:47Speaker 2: I have to wonder about the Neanderthal connection with some
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: of this stuff and why this is happening. And you know,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: I think a lot of this made and I'm not
- 1:06:57Speaker 2: going to get into that today, but a lot of
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: this I think may reflect back to the nephelim that
- 1:07:02Speaker 2: we've talked about before and all that that there's still
- 1:07:05Speaker 2: that element in this world, whether it's the DNA wive
- 1:07:09Speaker 2: or whatever, that this keeps popping up town after time,
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: especially when it comes to giants and stuff like that.
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: And why are these things always bigger? When they talk
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: about these things, they're like they're always big, they're giants.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: They're more intimidating that way. You know what did you
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: run up against Jessica and it was a giant? It
- 1:07:30Speaker 2: was really very good. Huh. And it may look kind
- 1:07:34Speaker 2: of big you if you're scared of it. Definitely, it's
- 1:07:36Speaker 2: gonna look bigger than you normally would. But I think
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: a lot of these people that run into these things
- 1:07:43Speaker 2: exaggerated some of this. Okay, we got to look at
- 1:07:46Speaker 2: that point too. There may be a little bit of
- 1:07:49Speaker 2: an exaggeration on some of this stuff, but that still
- 1:07:52Speaker 2: doesn't bury the fact that they ran into something out
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: of the ordinary, something very unusual, and that's not what
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: they're trying to get across to you. You know, that's
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: a fascinating part of all this that there is that
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: connection with I think there is a connection with Bigfoot
- 1:08:13Speaker 2: in some of this stuff, not all of it. I
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: think there's some definite differences in some other stuff on
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: this absolutely, Oh yeah, there is.
- 1:08:22Speaker 1: I'm just finding that there's a lot more what I
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: thought we're all going to be type for sasquatches, Neanderthal
- 1:08:27Speaker 1: like humans are actually just like feral humans or people
- 1:08:30Speaker 1: that have a lot of mental insanity going on.
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: Uh.
- 1:08:34Speaker 1: Edgar has an interesting point. He says, not all kidnapped
- 1:08:38Speaker 1: people get away absorbing people into their wild people clans. Wow,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: that's that's interesting too. You know, they're not just or them.
- 1:08:51Speaker 1: I know, I was gonna say, they're not just eating
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: all these people and and I'm I'm sure some of
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: the people do get eaten, probably, But you know, this
- 1:09:00Speaker 1: also brings us down the route of like the missing
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: four one one phenomenon, and where all these missing people
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: are going from these in these clusters in these national
- 1:09:08Speaker 1: parks and you know, could could be these.
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: I think the dangerous element of all this when you
- 1:09:16Speaker 2: go to the national parks especially, you better keep your
- 1:09:19Speaker 2: head on a swive little. Definitely, there's some some wild
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: stuff going on, and you got to ask yourself one
- 1:09:25Speaker 2: very important question, why are these people disappearing in those
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: certain areas that are all out of the way from
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: civilization and all that. What's going on with that? And
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: who is doing something? What is behind that? That's that's
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: the main question we got to ask about, the full one,
- 1:09:42Speaker 2: you know, the the the the catalyst of it all.
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: What's happening here? What's hunting the human rings out there?
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: You know?
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, hey, Kenny's Kenny's in the chat today Star Fox.
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: What's up, Kenny? He's with the North American dog Man Project.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Uh and uh, and he and I do shows every
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: other week together. So he says, it's odd the only
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: modern day man could use bows and throw things. The
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: Neanderthals weren't able to use bows or throw things. They
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: used close close warfare to take down mammoths and such. Yeah,
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: you know, it's just like second nature to throw stuff,
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: right or like, I don't know, my hands go up
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: when somebody gets in my face.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: Definitely. Yeah, ancient man was not stupid, and they knew
- 1:10:25Speaker 2: how to do things. Yeah, because they survive. That was
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: the thing. They were survivalists. They were supreme survivalists. Okay,
- 1:10:34Speaker 2: they were doing things you and I wouldn't dream of doing,
- 1:10:37Speaker 2: but they that was their life, without doubt.
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it was Oh my gosh, this has been a
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: fascinating discussion today, Dennis. This went way beyond my expectations
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: because I'm just I'm fascinated by this and uh and
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: there and I really wanted to highlight about how popular
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: wild men were back in the eighteen hundreds, in the
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: early nineteen hundreds, I mean, it was a nationwide phenomenon
- 1:11:04Speaker 1: and everybody wanted to see a wild man a lot
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: of people did.
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: Another aspect of going back. When you go back there
- 1:11:12Speaker 2: the old newspaper accounts and stuff like this, another big
- 1:11:15Speaker 2: thing that they reported on. Would not want to do
- 1:11:18Speaker 2: a show on this. Sometimes airships they were talking abouts
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: when there were no such things. I like that. What
- 1:11:28Speaker 2: was going on with that? You hear a ton of
- 1:11:30Speaker 2: accounts of airships being seen back in those days. I know.
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: Well, and that's where we get into the old pictures
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: that looked like the skies have been erased and stuff.
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: I mean, that's a whole other topic. And yeah, I
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: definitely plan on doing a show on airships one day soon.
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: And because that's that's another It's just another part of
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: uncovering our hidden history. That's all this is. And all
- 1:11:56Speaker 1: these things are kind of connecting. One thing connects to
- 1:11:58Speaker 1: the next. Aaron says. The best confirmation is the reports
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: where they've captured or unlive to wild Man. The descriptions
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: are much less fantastical and more reliable for really commented research. Yes,
- 1:12:12Speaker 1: I think it's fantastic. There's so many different articles.
- 1:12:16Speaker 2: What strikes me as strange is the detail in these reports.
- 1:12:21Speaker 2: They were very detailed. They didn't this coss over it.
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: They gave you some very interesting details. When you dig
- 1:12:26Speaker 2: into this stuff, that's the fascinating part. You get some
- 1:12:29Speaker 2: clues on some of that, definitely. And that's another thing
- 1:12:34Speaker 2: that we have researched back in those days, or the
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: sightings of thunderbirds and the killing paradiactyls and stuff like that,
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: and taking pictures all of them, and the pictures. I
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: wanna tell you something. And here's what I find out more.
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: And this is like another show for another time too,
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: But here's something that strikes me as strange. Just skin.
- 1:12:53Speaker 2: I know there is a researcher. You've run into this too.
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: We are coming upon history, history that's been erased.
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: Yeah, it has been you know what, and people like
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: Jim Via Okay, thank you, Dan. I've actually met Jim Okay.
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: He was He spoke the first bigfoot conference that I
- 1:13:14Speaker 1: ever went to, right when I first started bigfooting. He
