<p>What were the strange, hair-covered "whistlers" encountered by ancient Chinese woodsmen? What about the eerie, chest-beating "monsters" described in the legends of Indigenous Americans? And what can be made of strange tales of "wild men" encountered in various parts of the world throughout the Middle Ages? Could these early accounts actually represent records of historical hominoids that have been recorded throughout time? </p> <p>If Sasquatch exists in the modern world, then these enigmatic relict hominoids must have also existed alongside humankind since the dawn of modern homo sapiens. If so, where are the historical accounts that describe such creatures? A sticking point for many skeptics, the presumed absence of humanlike creatures in the historic record has become a point often used in arguments to demonstrate that no such creatures exist. </p> <p>In this episode of Sasquatch Tracks, the team takes a deep dive into observations of "historical hominoids" with a look at ancient accounts of what may be relict hominoids from around the world. From early times to the present, the team offers a fascinating exploration of the history behind this enduring mystery. </p> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks">Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.</a></p> <p><a href="mailto:[email protected]">Got a news tip or story to share?

<p>In this installment, after the team opens with a discussion about new legislation in California that seeks to make Bigfoot the official state cryptid, we are joined by researcher Jeff Carpenter, who discusses his experiences covering more than 20 years of research into the Sasquatch (Bigfoot) legend as well as local history/legends from the WNC mountains.</p> <p>Jeff grew up learning outdoor craft of hunting and tracking from his father, Earvin Carpenter. He is a descendant of some of the earliest settlers of the Western North Carolina mountains, including his grandfather, Harley Carpenter who was one of the first mountain people written about in the well-known Foxfire book series on Appalachian Mountain Living. Jeff is currently a Field Investigator for the Bigfoot Research Organization which interviews witness reports as well as documenting them for further study. He is also a member of the East Coast Expeditions Group, Kentucky Bigfoot Organization and the Co-Founder of the Appalachian Sasquatch Research Project. </p> <p>Jeff has presented his research findings during presentations he has given in North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio, as well as being a guest speaker on numerous podcasts. He made an appearance in the Small Town Monsters documentary movie titled “ On the Trail of Bigfoot: The Ancients”, which can be seen on YouTube and Amazon Prime, as well as other streaming channels. Jeff is the former Director of the Jackson County Parks and Recreation Department where heworked for 32 years and is now retired.

<p>In this episode of Sasquatch Tracks, the team takes a deep dive into the enigma of Sasquatch kidnappings, with a look at the most well-known cases involving alleged abductions by relict hominoids. We also examine traditional beliefs among Indigenous American groups regarding such incidents, and the possible anthropological and biological factors behind stories of those who were kidnapped by Sasquatch. </p> <p>At the heart of our discussion is the odd tale of Albert Ostman, a Swedish-born immigrant who in the 1920s, while camping near Toba Inlet, British Columbia, claimed he was kidnapped by Sasquatch "people". Recalling the events of his strange encounter, over the years Ostman gave very detailed descriptions of his alleged captors during the strange ordeal. In our discussion, the team examines Ostman's story, the evidence that supports it, as well as questions that raise a few concerns, and compare Ostman's narrative to the stories of others who claimed to have been kidnapped by Sasquatch. </p> <p><strong>Stories and other links discussed in this episode: </strong></p> <ul> <li><a href= "https://sasquatchalberta.com/classic-encounters/albert-ostmans-abduction/"> Albert Ostman's story of being kidnapped by Sasquatch</a></li> </ul> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks">Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.</a></p> <p><a href="mailto:[email protected]">Got a news tip or story to share?
