Tonight, we have a special guest - Timothy Renner, an author and researcher who will share his insights on historical encounters with Bigfoot on the West Coast. About the book: Throughout the years, giant, hairy, manlike creatures have been depicted in popular culture and studied as a fascinating scientific curiosity. These bipedal monsters were given different names, but "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch" became the most commonly used terms since the 1950s. However, people have been seeing and documenting these creatures long before these terms were introduced. Old newspaper accounts have reported encounters with "wild men", "gorillas", "ape-men", and "hairy giants". These creatures were known for their unearthly howls and leaving mysterious footprints behind. People have consistently described their appearance and behavior from the earliest newspaper articles to modern reports, proving that Bigfoot sightings have been happening for as long as we have been keeping records. This volume is a collection of newspaper articles from California, Oregon, and Washington dating from the 1850s through the 1920s. It features tales of giant gorillas roaming wild in the California hills, hairy giants haunting Oregon, and wild men attacking women in Washington. The book includes articles about a gorilla-like creature killed by hunters who described its appearance in great detail, a wild man who visited the campus of a major university on several occasions, and a strange dreamlike tale of a young man abducted by a hairy biped and taken to its underground lair.
