Anyone in the family ever see anything like this?

Not that I am aware off, but people down there have talked about something they call "The Wildman" for as long as I can remember. As a kid I took that to mean some outback hermit type guy, but apparently it's more Bigfootish than human. One of the counties west of this latest sighting has, or at least use to have, an annual Wildman Festival.

Monstrous creature ‘turned its head and looked straight at our car,’ Kentucky woman says

This occurred not far from where my Dad was born and raised. I still have relatives in the area.

Huh. My wife's family is from further south by Pineville.

If you wanted to hide something like a bigfoot, Appalachia would handle it just fine.

Note, I can't speak for Duke's area, but from Harlan on south through TN*, at least, don't go up into the hills unless you know someone from the area, and then preferably with them escorting you. It's a dumb thing that can get you hurt. The people don't take kindly to strangers. At all.

*or damn near *anywhere* in West Virginia

My dad is from West Virginia. When we went there to visit family when I was a kid, it took us an additional hour or so to stop by all the gathering places to let people know the strange car was his and not to burgle the car or shoot at the occupants.

My wife's family is from SE Kentucky and we still own some property there. We have to check in at a couple of places if we're staying in town or going up into the hills the next day for word to get around. If we're just visiting the property, we have to park down the hill from our renter and I have to stay in the car while she goes up to let Arkay know it's "Archie's daughter." He's never come out of the house without his shotgun. Nice fella, though. He cans us walnuts every autumn.

I've said it often in life - not sure if here, though: I have walked through the south side of Chicago in a 3-piece suit with a similarly attired friend and my wife-to-be wearing a business dress. We felt just fine doing it. None of us would *ever* do that above 1500' elevation in Appalachia.

In the US, rural hill folk are probably the closest you can get to how family clans and tribes functioned in antiquity. If you can become accepted, they'll do nearly anything to protect you; if you're an outsider, you're a de facto enemy and will be treated as such. The old stories about hill folk shooting government agents in the early to mid part of the 20th century are not hyperbole.

I've just moved to a more rural area here and doubt whether I'll ever be accepted.As you say if your not a friend or relative you are considered an enemy.It's strange behaviour to me,growing up in Sydney.

(A song sung around campfires, etc.)

This land is my land
This land ain't your land
This here's a shotgun
I have in my hand
If you don't get off
I'll blow your head off
This land is private property.

:eek:

Its like my old boss who keeps bees,every year or two he introduces a new queen to the hive,if not they become overly aggressive due to inbreeding.I really believe some if not all bigfoot sightings are wild people coming from close breeding and living in wild situations.Feral pigs here revert back to their wild ancestors and become hairy with bigger tusks within one generation,why not humans?
