inches across. Someone with six toes! Prospectors near Eureka, Nevada, discovered the bones of a giant foot and foreleg in July 1877. The leg measured thirty-nine inches from knee to ankle, according to the local newspapers. What has happened to all these bones and relics? Some are packed away in the basements of local museums. Most have moved, generation after generation, from living rooms to barns to garbage dumps. Since science does not believe in giants, scientists are naturally not very interested in giant human bones. No one can estimate how many hundreds or thousands of these finds have been made over the years. The written records are sparse, and thousands of old newspapers and files must be sifted before we can fully assemble the complete story of the giants. In 1896-97 scores of mysterious airships appeared suddenly in the skies all over the United States. The newspapers for the period were filled with incredible stories of the objects and their peculiar occupants. One of the most amazing of these tales appeared in the Saginaw, Michigan Courier- Herald (April 16, 1897). It seems that at 4:30 A.M. on Wednesday morning, April 14, a strange flying contraption landed in a field near Howard City, Michigan, and a naked giant stepped from it. ”He is about nine and a half feet tall,” the report stated, ”and his talk, while musical, is not talk at all, but seems to be a repetition of bellowing. One of the farmers who was somewhat braver, attempted to go near him, and got a kick that will last him for some time, having got his hip broken. Great excitement prevails here, and lots of people are flocking here from Morley and Howard City to view the strange being at a distance, as no one dares to go near. He seems to be trying to talk to people.” There were no follow-up stories on this alleged incident. Have our giants taken to the air? Was a gentleman from Patagonia swooped up by a flying machine and deposited in Michigan in 1897? The report mentioned that piles of furry animal pelts were seen on board the object, and Michigan in April might have been unpleasantly warm to a Patagonian used to the climate of the Antarctic Circle.
SEVEN THE HAIRY ONES Another kind of giant has seemingly always existed with us on this planet. He is shaped like a human being but is covered with hair and prefers to live in the quiet, thinly populated forests of Canada. However, he is something of a vagabond and has frequently been seen all over the United States. Like most of our other monsters, he has the uncanny ability to disappear into thin air as soon as the posses begin to close in. The natives of the far-off Himalayas are also very familiar with this creature and long ago named it the Metoh-Kangmi which means ”the evil-smelling man of the snows.” The British explorers took liberties with this phrase and dubbed the animal the Abominable Snowman. ABSM for short. There is now considerable evidence that the ABSM actually exists. What is more, there seem to be several different types running rampant. They come in all sizes, ranging from stout three-footers to giant hair-covered beasties ten feet tall. Some of them seem to be directly related to unidentified flying objects. Others could be actual descendants of the prehistoric Neanderthal man. Like Hugh Troy's rhinoceros, they are fond of scattering their giant footprints around the countryside, leaving behind very little evidence of any other kind. In the redwood forests of California they have earned the nickname ”Big Foot.” The first published reference to the Himalayan ABSM appeared in 1899, in a book titled Among the Himalayas by Major L. A. Waddell. He stated matter-of-factly that he had come across some giant man-like tracks in the tiny kingdom of Sikkim in 1887. Successive expeditions to those mountains reported regularly encountering similar tracks and, in several instances, large hair-covered personages. Generations of Type B scientists, huddled comfortably amid their books on Ivy League campuses, scoffed at the reports and presented a wide range of speculations. It was only a bear or an ape, they announced periodically, and one group of scholars concluded that the tracks were spread by naked Yogis wandering about the mountains in the sub-zero temperatures. Three years before Major Waddell found those footprints in Sikkim, an actual ABSM-type creature was reportedly captured in Canada. According to the Daily British Colonist (July 3, 1884), a group of railroad workmen digging a tunnel outside of Yale, British Columbia, came upon what appeared at first to be a man sleeping on the tracks. It proved to be a hairy ”half man, half beast” which was captured alive after a five-minute chase. ”Jacko,” as he was named by his captors, was four feet seven inches tall and weighed 127 pounds. ”He has long, black, strong hair and resembles a human being with one exception: his entire body, excepting his hands (or paws) and feet are covered with glossy hair one inch long,” the account stated. ”His fore arm is much longer than a man's fore arm...” What happened to ”Jacko” is not known. As recently as 1946, a Canadian reporter interviewed an elderly gentleman in Lytton, British Columbia, who claimed he had seen it. Others, including Mr. Alexander Caulfield Anderson of the Hudson's Bay Company, claimed to have encountered these animals as early as 1864. The definitive work Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come To Life by Ivan T. Sanderson delves into these early reports in detail and notes the many Indian legends and myths revolving around these creatures in North America. There are several old Indian tales about women being abducted by the ABSM and even having children by them. We might also mention that many other cultures have produced identical stories. Scholars may one day discover that man has frequently crossbred with these hairy beings throughout history. The Bible makes particular mention of this. In Genesis (25: 19-34) Esau was described as being born ”red, all over like a hairy garment.” Early European literature contains numerous references to the ”Wild Men of the Woods” who were supposed to have existed hidden away in the dense forests of England, France, Germany, and many other countries. They were described as tall, hair-covered men of remarkable agility, able to leap vast distances and out-run ordinary men. In Irish folklore, according to The Bestiary, these Homines
