In the world of the unknown, there are countless stories of mysterious creatures lurking in the shadows of the wilderness. One such tale comes to us from the Antelope Mountains of California, where in 1879, two hunters had an encounter that they would never forget.
William Shigon and his friend Mr. Gore were out duck hunting when they stumbled upon something far more intriguing than their feathered targets. As they made their way back to the ranch, they took a shortcut through the wildest part of the Antelope range of the mountains. The trail they were on was rough and treacherous, but as they carefully made their way along the edge of a chasm, they heard a strange animalistic noise coming from a cliff behind them.
Turning to investigate, the men were shocked to see a large, hairy, man-like creature running towards them with incredible speed. Mr. Gore, thinking it was an animal, took a shot and wounded the creature in the arm. With a scream of pain, the creature stopped, grabbed its arm, and turned to charge towards the hunters.
As both men's guns were now empty, they dropped everything and ran for their lives, afraid to test their physical strength against the mysterious being. They ran until they could go no further, thinking they had outrun the creature.
When the men told their story, they insisted that the creature resembled a man in general appearance but was wild-eyed and very fierce in its disposition. Some tried to explain the creature as being a young man, a lunatic who had escaped from his keepers in California and made it to the mountains where he continued to avoid recapture. Others, however, described the creature as having long, hairy arms, resembling a full-grown gorilla, and emitting strange loud cries and screams.
The creature was never identified or caught, leaving its true nature a mystery to this day. While the story doesn't directly involve Bigfoot, it's a fascinating glimpse into the world of unknown creatures that roam our wilderness.
