In the world of the mysterious and unexplained, there are countless stories of encounters with creatures that defy explanation. One such account comes from the YouTube channel Orc Soup For The Dragon Soul, in a video titled "A Sasquatch encounter in New York. Stranger than Fiction."
The video tells the tale of Peter Thomas, who in 1895, decided to take a leisurely ride on a remote stretch of road under the summer moon. However, his peaceful ride was interrupted when a wild-eyed man or ape-like creature sprang from the bushes and stood in the road ahead. Thomas described the creature as being seven feet tall, with long and hairy arms, and uttering a raucous and inarticulate cry. The creature then proceeded to grab and twist the neck of one of Thomas' horses and dragged it off into the darkness.
The story doesn't end there, as later that day, local Farmer John Cook reported that he shot at and struck a ferocious ape-like being, which then came at him and threw him to the ground. Cook described the creature as standing about seven feet tall, entirely nude, covered with black hair, with a long beard and with teeth which projected from its mouth like fangs.
This encounter is documented in the book "Bigfoot Encounters in New York and New England: Documented Evidence Stranger Than Fiction" by Robert E Bartholomew and his brother Paul B Bartholomew. The book contains countless tales of Bigfoot encounters, but this one stood out to the video's creator.
The video also touches on the debate that arose as to whether it was humane or even legal to hunt down such a creature. The incident sparked a debate as to whether it was Humane or even legal to hunt down such a creature. A party was organized to hunt down and slay the creature, but the question arose whether they had the right to kill a "wild man" as they were calling it back in 1895.
It's interesting to note that the term "wild man" was used in the past to describe unknown hairy humanoid creatures, which is a term that is still used today. This shows that the concept of Bigfoot or Sasquatch has been around for a long time and that people have been reporting encounters with these creatures for centuries.
In addition to the Bigfoot encounter, the video also touches on the topic of the debate over the legality and ethics of hunting down and killing such a creature. This is an important topic to consider, as it raises questions about the treatment of unknown and potentially endangered species.
