I think the yeti, sasquatch, wild man of the woods, etc. serves a greater purpose in our imagination than it ever could for us in reality.
Not much was mentioned about the 14 wives. Was that an invention of the press at the time?
But the case is not helped by all the idiots out there hunting it and proclaiming to be experts on ”squatchology”. If I was a shy intelligent hominid, I’d certainly hide out from those yahoos. Especially the ones that think there is one in every neighborhood woodlot across the US.
Though I am skeptical and 99% sure there is no sasquatch/yeti/yowie/etc. In actuality, a niggling notion remains with me that we don’t know everything. Perhaps there is an intelligent hominid out there in remote areas intelligent enough to remain hidden, burying it’s dead in secret places and hiding its poo. Maybe I want to believe it. And maybe, just maybe the Patterson film is real; in that case, that is no bear or any other mistaken identification of a known creature.
Torture! Omg. Don’t let me listen to it. Wuss warning for the new Irish.
This was not the first serial killer that fascinated a public, was it? Just the most famous, probably. But there was Burke and Hare, Peter Kürten... Maybe the Beast of Gevaudan, though that was probably an animal...
Vampires, bah! Werewolves, now yer talkin’. Better to run through the forest at night, howling, than sleeping in a dirty box all day and skulking through the shadows at night to find a place to blood.
”Once again, the come out...” Permit me a 12-year-old snigger.
Very interesting, however frequently stopped playing.
I find it difficult to believe that the Hills would have sought out attention at a time when their very marriage was illegal in a large part of the US, and even where it wasn’t, a lot of people would have had difficulty accepting it. In some areas, I think many still wouldn’t, sadly.
Of course it’s all trans rights. Haha
”The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” was purported to be based on real events. The same so-called real events—the acts of one Ed Gein—also inspired ”Psycho”. I guess we get a thrill knowing monsters are real.
Chicks just don’t get history or know how to talk about it. They can be snide. Which these are.
From what I recall of the 1980s movie, the real breaking point for the men was Bligh’s announcement that they were going to try again to pass Cape Horn to get to Jamaica. The men were terrified they would be wrecked and drowned just to further Bligh’s career plans. Hadn’t they lost men on the first attempt?
