Wild men have long been a topic of fascination, and a recent video from The Cryptid Huntress on YouTube delves into the historical reports of these strange, human-like creatures. The video, which I recently came across, explores the three categories that wild men fall into: large hairy bipedal humanoids (similar to Bigfoot), feral humans who use tools and are usually violent, and lost hominids, which are neither man nor beast and have some human-like characteristics.
The video discusses the obsession that people in the 1800s had with wild men, as newspapers in cities across the United States and North America ran articles about these strange creatures. These wild men were described as covered in fur or hair, nearly always naked or nude, and having a bad temper. The video also touches on one of the strangest wild man stories ever told, which involves an encounter with an eight-foot-tall wild man in North Georgia who was known to kidnap women and children and was seen with a dwarf and a bull.
I was particularly intrigued by the discussion of feral humans and lost hominids, as these categories are not as commonly talked about as the large hairy bipedal humanoids that are often associated with Bigfoot. The video also highlights the deep roots that wild men have in folklore, and how they may be an echo of history and a racial memory of humans encountering Neanderthals and other ancient beings.
Dr. Dennis Carroll, who has over 40 years of experience in the field of the paranormal, is interviewed in the video and provides valuable insights into the topic. He discusses the magical tie into wild men and their connection to the Green Man and Odin, the chief god of the Norse.
If you're a Bigfoot enthusiast, this video is definitely worth a watch. It provides a fascinating look into the historical reports of wild men and the different categories they fall into. The video also highlights the deep roots that wild men have in folklore and the potential echoes of history that they may represent.
