in Arkansas March last Mr. Hami while hunting with pi gp drove of cattle ina stat ly pursued by some dj € purpose, they fled by them, that mal bearing the u Tue Winp Man Acarn.—We are credi- 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. Memphis Express. woo mss Oe eer se Krantz, 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 sincé Leonardo da Vinci,” he says; meebo Me alle Found 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 sy auyess0) Ag “UiOUr Jaquiaaoyy ds129 t sem jf SULIE StH “Huyaas SRM | Jey UO AYR) ayqnop va furids @ uo uosdad & ayy sais sen -flau prey oy puw ‘tp1207 pure yowq Huns pis surtiig ‘desys Buraq qry oy, Mullins wants an explana- 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
