bly informed by a gentleman of this city,
that the “wild man” has been seen again
in the swamps of Arkansas. He derived
his information from two gentlemen, who
were out hunting, and approached as near
astwenty paces to him. His appearance
was so frightful that they did not attempt to
approach nearer. He is described by them
as being avout 7 feet 2 inches high, and cov-
ered completely with black hair, interspers-
ed now and then withgray. Thestory or
the representations of him as last seen, pub-
lished in some of our papers, they pronounce
untrue. He has noclaws to his hands and
feet, nor is he eight or nine feet high: still
he would be a curiosity worth seeing. We
understand itis the intention of some of our
citizens to capture hit if possible. In the
way of shows, he would be the * wild
mare, " with the ‘ hippodrome ” thrown in.

eer seKrantz, at the opposite
pole, became interested in
__ Bigfoot in 1969 when a dep-
uty sheriff related a sighting.
“It sounded very solid. I
wanted it to be true, but L
didn‘t think it was. It would
be nice, but...”
He became convinced,
however, when John Green,
a journalist turned politician
in British Columbia, dragged
him off to Bossburg, Wash.,
to see over 1,000 footprints
ascribed to a crippled Big-
foot.: They were photo
graphed and plaster-cast, as
supposed Bigfoot prints fre-
‘quently are, and Krantz re-
constructed the anatomy of
the foot, which strongly re-
sembled a club foot.
He decided the prints
couldn’t have been faked. “‘It
would have taken a brilliant
anatomist with a very inven-
tive -mind and we haven‘t
had one of those around

meebo Me alleFound Bigfoot tracks
Bryant has found his own Bigfoot tracks, hundreds
of miles from the Rocky Mountains.
“T found them in McComb, Miss.,” he says. “I made
some plaster footprints from them.”
Bryant also found hair samples he says belonged to
a Sasquatch in McComb as well as near Bunkie. He
had the samples analyzed by a laboratory and an
expert in California, all determining that the hair
does not belong toa human.
“The hair samples I found near Bunkie matched
those I found in McComb,” Bryant says. “They have
the same genetic make-up. It’s not human hair
because it doesn’t absorb water like human hair. It’s
not round and straight like a human hair. It's bigger,
and it curls into the body when it gets wet, protecting
the body.”
Bryant's personal glimpse of Bigfoot also came in
McComb. He was standing in a field with a friend
when he saw three of the creatures staring back him.
The creatures appeared to be large stumps, but
Bryant could discern heads and shoulders.
“I wasn’t close enough to see their faces, and they
didn’t move,” he says. “They're so elusive and enig-
matic that you have to be on your toes to understand
what you're seeing. They come out just before dark,
and if they see you, they won't move. Oh, they're
smart — they're very smart.”YPUARUTELODS

tion for the thing he saw sev-
eral years ago, standing on
two legs and looking back at
him from the woods with
glowing eyes.
“T froze,” he said. “I just
couldn’t believe it. And it just
casually turned to the left,
walked into the woods and it
met up with like three others,
*cause we could hear three
different locations a little bit
further in, converging. And at
that point I was like OK, that
solidified the belief in me that
they’re really real and they’re
out here.”
Meyer has been a Bigfoot
hunter all his life, without
knowing. After his dad died,
his mom told him his father
had a secret, lifelong belief in
Sasquatch.
“She said, ‘That's part of
the reason the entire time you
were growing up, you guys
were out in the woods all the
time,’” Meyer explained. “I
said, ‘I thought we were just
out hunting and fishing,
*cause I grew up out in the
woods.’ She’s like, ‘No, he
always knew there was some-
thing else out there, but he
really didn’t say anything
about it to anyone.’ B
