Yowie Sightings in 1909: A Tale of Two Cities

In a recent video from the YouTube channel "Where's My Yowie," Jamie brings to light an intriguing newspaper report from 1909 about a Yowie sighting in Hargraves, New South Wales. The article, published in the Bathurst Daily Argus, tells of strange noises heard in the area, which locals attributed to a bird known as the "dog bird." However, a more startling explanation emerged when a minor named Shaw investigated a sound he heard among the parts. Shaw reported seeing a "hairy man" with a very small face, standing nearly six feet tall and covered in long, wide hair. The creature was said to have jumped over a five-foot fence like a bird and disappeared into the darkness. This account is particularly interesting because it occurred just a week after another Yowie sighting at Maitland Bar, where strange noises and a creature covered in long white hair were reported. Hargraves is only about 4.5 kilometers from Maitland Bar, making it plausible that the same Yowie could have been responsible for both sightings. Alternatively, it's possible that a tribe of white Yowies could be inhabiting the area. What makes this story even more fascinating is the description of the creature's small face and its ability to clear a five-foot fence with ease. This suggests that the Yowie is a powerful and agile creature, capable of moving quickly and quietly through the dense Australian bushland. As Bigfoot believers, it's always exciting to come across new accounts of Yowie sightings, especially ones that are over a century old. These stories not only provide us with valuable insights into the behavior and appearance of these elusive creatures, but they also serve as a reminder that Yowies have likely been a part of Australian folklore for centuries.

Who knows, maybe one day we'll have definitive proof of the existence of Yowies, but until then, we can only rely on the accounts of those who have been lucky enough to encounter these mysterious creatures.
