Every once in a while, a movie or a TV show or something comes about that posits, what if the national parks are home to clans of feral cannibal people? And you know what? Maybe they're not too far off.
Aidan MattisHOST
1:30
There are actually a considerable number of documented stories of people encountering wild men, feral people, hairy people, Bigfoot.
Aidan MattisHOST
1:38
And when it comes to the missing 411 phenomenon, there are quite a few people who believe that these feral humans could be responsible for some of these disappearances.
Aidan MattisHOST
1:46
For example, Eloise Lindsay, who was hiking the Appalachian Trail in the 1980s, claimed that she was chased off the trail for 12 days deep into the forests, only to be rescued by a hunter.
Aidan MattisHOST
3:34
Now back to the feral people at hand.
Aidan MattisHOST
3:36
Others have countered the claims of lack of evidence with the fact that a lot of the times missing people are never found.
Aidan MattisHOST
3:41
So if we can't find people that we know existed, how likely is it that we're gonna find people that are evading our knowledge of their existence entirely? And then another part of the problem here is the indelicate handling of the idea of wild men and rural populations in pop culture and in media.
Aidan MattisHOST
3:58
Often, low-income folks in areas like Appalachia will be painted as feral or inbred, you know, hillbillies, that kind of thing, when, for the most part, a lot of those people are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
AllieHOST
32:46
I agree.
AllieHOST
32:46
I think it's so much scarier than a giant, hairy wild man because presumably you could see or smell or hear the wild man before he comes up and gets you.
AllieHOST
32:57
But in the case of the man-eating stone, the stories are that somebody is hunting in the woods, or somebody is hiking through the woods, and they need to stop to rest for a moment, so they climb on top of this big boulder and then before they can react, it just swallows them whole.
AllieHOST
33:17
And the different illustrations that I've seen that go along with this story are super scary.

Like, if she would've wandered off the trail and got, died from exposure or whatever, we would've found more evidence of that somehow.
Nat StrawnHOST
52:47
That's what I think.
AllieHOST
52:47
So do we think that she could've been murdered by another Wild Man or by McDowell or by whoever murdered, um, John Harber?
Nat StrawnHOST
52:59
Yeah.
Riley BrayHOST
36:34
Yeah.
Michael McMillianHOST
36:35
But there weren't a lot of Wild Men stories that talked about them being ape-like.
Michael McMillianHOST
36:42
They just said big, hairy Wild Men.
Michael McMillianHOST
36:45
So we don't know really how many strictly fall into what we would now call Bigfoot category.
Michael McMillianHOST
36:53
But these stories did exist.

CharlesHOST
