Guest Transformer Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) iislandgirl You might be interested to know that the common name for this type of creature had its own name on Vancouver Island long before the term Sasquatch was coined on the main land in the mid 1920s. That name was the "Mowgli". You will find many old press stories and such referring to wild man sightings as the Mowgli. That name was slowly forgotten as the term Sasquatch became popular by the non native people all across BC. Thomas Steenburg Are you not aware that the name "Mowgli" is a fictitious name about a fictitious character invented by Rudyard Kipling in the 1890's in his "Jungle Book" series? "Mowgli" is the name of a little boy who was raised by wolves in the stories and they are very famous stories and quite a few movies have been made of them. It is not surprising that enterprising reporters tried to cash in on the "Jungle Book" popularity that was in vogue for such a long time in the British Empire. What I am surprised at is that someone would think that the name "Mowgli" had anything at all to do with the sasquatch or bigfoot phenomenon. Furthermore, Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting, based Cub Scouting on a story in Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book called "Mowgli's Brothers". Cub Scouts know it as "The Story of Akela and Mowgli". The words "Law of the Pack," "Akela," "Wolf Cub," "Grand Howl," "den," and "pack" all come from the "Jungle Book" series. http://www.knowledgerush.com/kr/encyclopedia/Mowgli/ Edited October 22, 2012 by Transformer
