In Texas,
Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana, anecdotes about huge, hairy, apelike
creatures said to dwell in the deep woods and, occasionally, near the
peripheries of rural communities, have accumulated for centuries. Many of these
accounts were related by highly reliable and trustworthy individuals, people
who had nothing to gain by telling their stories.
Indeed, in many
cases, these witnesses became the subjects of much ridicule, even among close
friends and relatives. To the present day, most witnesses hesitate to share
their incredible stories of seeing this strange, undocumented animal. Their
reticence should come as no surprise given the treatment of the subject by the
mass media and some mainstream scientists.
