New York 1910 - Wild Man Poaching Eggs on Long Island

Search Alabama newspapers for stories about wild men, find stories about wild man in every state BUT Alabama. Published in The Huntsville (AL) Times on November 18, 1910. -
I don't have any answers. It's certainly interesting to consider though. It's another thing that we can only confirm with species verification, in turn leading to verifiable DNA (from an actual body, whether living or dead, rather than hair or EDNA that nobody saw being left at the scene). In turn this would confirm the level of proximity to homo sapiens, at which point discussions regarding 'human' rights vs animal conservation, cannibalism, possible interbreeding etc can potentially be settled.

It's interesting and suspicious that most kidnapping reports are a century or more of age. I did read one from an anthropologist who studied the Koyukon natives in Alaska and who interviewed a Koyukon man who claimed that a female "woodsman" followed him around for days before finally rushing him. He claimed to kill it with his knife. He believed that it brought him bad luck in life later, and that she wanted to "make love to him". I have to wonder how the sudden technological explosion has impressed sasquatches. Native Americans no longer shoot bows and arrows. For the past 150 years (not long, really) they shoot pretty powerful rifles like the European invaders. That might have changed some sasquatch habits............. I understand. I don't much think about the weeds at this point unless it's brought up. But sometimes, after discussions like this, I tend to accept some basic common sense likelihoods. Good point. I wasn't clear. If a Sasquatch eats a homo sapien, is it a cannibal? I really can't say except to ask another question: If a Neanderthal ate a Cro Magnan, was it cannibalistic? I ask that because I believe that sasquatches are a human species.

Fair enough. I was thinking more about recent reports rather than historical, nearing 100 yrs old, but I should have been more clear - there may be more recent ones that I haven't come across. I agree to a degree. If they exist, there's a chance they could be cannibal sometimes. But assuming that they exist, assuming that they are cannibals and assuming that they are responsible for disappearances that can be explained by mundane, proven existence, is too much for me. I guess I need to see something in these stories that cannot be explained by natural occurrences before considering the unproven. Another point that occurs to me that isn't necessarily relevant to this discussion is - 'what would you consider 'cannibal' for a sasquatch? Chimps eating chimps - cannibal. Humans eating humans - cannibal. Sasquatch theoretically eating humans? Not so clear, given that a cannibal is an animal that consumes the flesh of it's own species.

Howdy all.....some new pics, some interesting impressions, especially the 4th one, and maybe belongs on another forum lol, Dogman, anyone find these? The next 2, I've showed the Cattails in this area over the years, good hairyman snacks, first pic shows after day one of the July floods & then a few days later after a massive flood wave tore through and totally removed the Cattails, amazing power! The last 3 pics, I have showed this small spring fed pool many times, and a good place to find prints, especially during the summer as it stays full, however I have noticed since last Spring there's always a strong musky odor when I go down there, a strange stick structure forming an 'A' as you go down there, and a trail leading away to a thicket area.....and no I ain't going down there, heard a weird growl a few times so no thanks.

Yes, it does. No, that isn't accurate at all. Sasquatches stealing women and children is an old story among the aboriginal people. The story of Muchalat Harry, an indigenous man of the same era as Ostman, also exists. I'm not going to deny that sasquatches are cannibals or not, because I don't know, but chimps and Homo sapiens are (and Neanderthals accused of) ............sometimes. Therefore, I would speculate that if sasquatches exist, they might be cannibals............sometimes. But the kidnappings might happen for other reasons. Ostman himself (I believe) opined that he may have been brought as a suitor for the young female.

Ostman - seems a very far fetched story and not really in line with many if any reports of sasquatch (if they were cannibals, why not eat him but rather sort of befriend him and share his snuff?) Schleyer - I hate to go there again, but is there any evidence for the 'pants standing up, bones in them, but the clothes untouched' narrative other than the thoroughly unreliable Paulides? Genuine question, not trying to be awkward, I've done a bit of research and found only reports (from before the M411 books came out) providing details that make no mention that such bones were found and that specifically state that the pants were ripped and torn. I'm genuinely looking for cases where there's something to them without Paulides' embellishments but they seem very thin on the ground. For instance, the Schleyer case seems to be a case of natural death followed by scavengers, unusual sure, but it happens. It surely depends on how much of the military and agencies' time and how much of the government's trillions are directed towards the pursuit of confirming the existence of Bigfoot. If they directed all their resources towards finding bigfoot, we'd no doubt have a definitive answer in short order, one way or another. However, it probably suits them to leave things as they are, in which case, they wouldn't direct resources that way. I'm not sure if the government would involve themselves in trying to establish the existence of any animal anyway, other than potentially providing research grants (which seem, on the state and federal level, available more for study of already established animals rather than establishing the existence of new species). As I've mentioned before, I don't think anyone could consider the government to 'know' conclusively of bigfoot's existence without a body anyway, in much the same way as science wouldn't consider the species proven without one. pictures, thermals, footprints, anecdotal evidence from individual government employees etc could easily be dismissed as insufficiently conclusive in the same way as they currently are by science generally. I'm not saying that I'm concrete in any of the above opinions, I'm very willing to be proven wrong, how else do we learn and progress. But the above is where I've landed based on my current knowledge and consideration.

Did you catch my post somewhere on the forum about the drone flying above my driveway? It was the electric coop flying a lidar drone, collecting pics on vegetation in the right-of-way and easements. I'm really glad I didn't shoot it down (the impulse to do so was strong.........I guess I'm addicted to wing shooting doves too much ). I followed it to the operator and talked to him. It was a very expensive looking drone, and bigger than my impression of it while it was flying. -

Yes. I'm pretty sure they've only just scratched the surface with civilizational archaeology though most of the planet. In the Amazon, they're just beginning to find stuff. -

My Daddy grew up in the Louisiana bayou country during the Depression era. He told me that they would take a pirogue into the bayou to catch something to eat, and they would visit with people who lived out there. They spoke their own language, which was a mixture of French, Indian, Spanish, and English. They didn't come out of there. They were semi-feral. We have individuals (not so much tribes) like that in Alaska today. They avoid humanity like the plague. In the U.S., yes. Not so much in the Arctic, the Amazon Basin, or other such areas of the planet. -

What makes you think there would be a response? The best way to deal with it is ignore it. If it doesn't present an acute problem, why respond at all? As JKH indicates, there are still a number of tribes that exist but are "undocumented". A friend from grade school is elected chief of such a "tribe". They recognize themselves and that's about the end of the story. -

What happens when childhood memories of strange creatures in the woods come rushing back — and they turn out to be real? In this chilling episode of Bigfoot Society, we bring you eyewitness encounters from Georgia, Tennessee, Illinois, New Mexico, and even the Canadian wilderness. You’ll hear from a man who saw a Sasquatch take five massive steps across a football field in Rex, Georgia — and remembers a time when Clayton County was the “Bigfoot capital of the world.” A mother in Tipton County, Tennessee recounts terrifying stories of shredded tents, missing campers, government response teams, and blood trails that disappear into the forest. You’ll meet a Girl Scout who saw Bigfoot vanish in the woods of Orland Hills, and a man whose father — a trucker — saw a creature with fur and a jacket tapping on his door in the middle of the night. These aren’t legends. They’re firsthand accounts. And they may change what you think you know about Sasquatch. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

The historical response was to eliminate them, yet tribes without treaties remain, with varying success.
