The Hairy Man

August 5, 2008

–No, the Hairy Man is not a guy in desperate need of a back waxing, but rather a Native American Bigfoot analogue dating back in their art and descriptions for a thousand years.  Sightings and reported destruction have occurred in Canada.

Native American sentiments are positive towards the Hairy Man, who is seen as being a benign protector dangerous only if crossed or opposed.  Very cool are associated myths that humans and animals once shared communicative capabilities, circumstances which ended when man began to think of himself as better than the animals…

The Grassman Cometh…

June 24, 2008

Bigfoot is known by many names dependent on the region; Sasquatch, Yeti, even the Skunk Ape.  In Ohio, MonsterQuest reports that he is known as The Grassman. No, he isn’t a pot smoker, and he does show some variations from the usual Bigfoot traits, such as a habit of building “nests” on the forest floor.  These nests are crafted so well that two researchers trying to duplicate one could make only a pitiful simulation.  Other Bigfoot traits seem almost universally reported; e.g., the bad odor and the abundant hair.

I profess a weakness for the JackLinks “Messing With Sasquatch” commercial series in which Bigfoot is portrayed sympathetically as more sinned against than sinning, and gets his revenge on his tormentors!
