The Hominid of Many NamesThis is a featured page

This page will go into depth about the history and folklore dating back as far as the early 1500's and delving into the many names that these creatures have been given by so many cultures.I have decided and have been convinced by my own expierences that they most definetly exist.I will include the many names and countries that these creatures have either been seen or have been listed in the lore and legends.


Lets start out with the Chinese Yeren or Wildman.The first recorded sighting of this creature was in the mid 1500's.Many people have reported seeing the creatures through out China.Although they are reported to be smaller in stature than it's american cousin they do have the large feet and are very agile also.If these creatures do not exist and they are suppose to be figments of our imagination,explain why there are recorded sightins dating back as far as my research has indicated.The Yeren is only one of the many creatures documented and sighted all over the world.
In Vietnam the creature is called Ngu-oi-rang {forest man} also called forest people.They are also smaller in stature than the American Bigfoot,the average height of these creatures is 6ft tall.They range in color from black to brown.The only Date that I can find in reference to the first encounter with one of these creatures only goes back to 1969.

The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is an apelike cryptid said to inhabit the Himalayan region of Nepal and Tibet. The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region, and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the late 1800s.
The scientific community largely regards the Yeti as a legend, given the lack of evidence, yet it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology. The Yeti can be considered a parallel to the Bigfoot legend of North America.

Ebu Gogo is a human-like creature (or race of creatures) that appears in the mythology of the people of the island of Flores, Indonesia, of similar form to the leprechaun or elf. These "little people" are said to be about one meter tall, their passion fruit sized head covered in hair, pot-bellied, and with ears that stick out. They are held to walk somewhat awkwardly and are often said to be "murmuring" in what is assumed to be their own language. It is also said by the islanders that the Ebu Gogo can repeat what is said to them in parrot-like fashion.
In one language of central Flores the name means "grandmother who eats meat" (or possibly "grandmother glutton") from the words ebu "grandmother" and gogo "(s)he who eats meat".

The HIBAGON is described as a black creature with white hands and large white feet, standing about five feet tall. Sightings have been reported in forested, mountainous areas of the country. It has been reported in the forests around Mount Hiba in Hiroshima Prefecture and has been said to resemble a gorilla.

The Almos is another creature related to our Bigfoot.It is smaller in stature also ranging from 5ft to 6ft tall.The first recorded report of these creatures dates back to 1430.Hans Schiltberger reported his own personal oberservation of these creatures in the 15th century.That is nearly 600yrs ago.

The barmanou (or barmanu) is said to be a bipedal primate living in the mountainous region of Afghanistan and Pakistan. Sightings have been reported by shepherds living in the mountains. The zoologist Dr. Jordi Magraner, a Spaniard living in France, researched the barmanu extensively. He was murdered in Pakistan in 2002.

Am Fear Liath Mòr (also known as The Big Grey Man of Ben MacDhui or simply The Greyman) is the name of a presence or creature which is said to haunt the summit and passes of Ben MacDhui, the highest peak of the Cairngorms and the second highest peak in Scotland. It has been described as an extremely tall figure covered with short hair, or as an unseen presence that causes uneasy feelings in people who climb the mountain. There is little evidence of the existence of this creature besides various sightings and a few photographs of unusual footprints

Kapre (related to the Agta in the Visayan dialect) is a Philippine mythical creature that could be characterized as a tree demon, but with more human characteristics. It is described as being a tall (7 to 9 ft), brown, hairy male with a beard


A malevolent creature from Northeast Anatolian Turkish and Bulgarian folklore. The Karakoncolos is a variety of the bogeyman - merely troublesome and rather harmless, but sometimes truly evil. It has thick hairy fur like the Sasquatch. The name probably comes from the Greek Kalikantzaros.

Orang Mawas or Mawas (also known as the Orang Dalam) is a hominid cryptid reported to inhabit the jungle of Johor in Malaysia. It is described as being about 10 ft (2.4-3 m) tall, bipedal and covered in black fur, and has been reported feeding on fish and raiding orchards.Reported sightings date back to the 1870.


Orang Pendek (Indonesian for "short person") is the most common name given to a cryptid, or unconfirmed animal, that reportedly inhabits remote, mountainous forests on the island of Sumatra.
The animal has allegedly been seen and documented for at least one hundred years by forest tribes, local villagers, Dutch colonists, and Western scientists and travelers.

Yowie is the modern generic, and somewhat affectionate, term for an unidentified hominid reputed to lurk in the Australian wilderness. It is an Australian cryptid similar to the Himalayan Yeti and the North American Bigfoot.Reports of Yowie-type creatures are common in the legends and stories of Australian Aboriginal tribes, particularly those of the eastern states of Australia. The mid to late 19th Century saw a wealth of sightings, most describing a large, gorilla-like creature (albeit usually bipedal), which lived in remote mountainous or forested regions.


Old Yellow Top was reported to be a 7 ft (~2.1 m) Sasquatch-like creature that was sighted several times around the town of Cobalt, Ontario, Canada. Descriptions of the creature by eye witnesses closely resemble that of a Sasquatch; however, it has a blonde patch of hair on its head and a light-coloured mane, which is what has given it its name.
Alleged sightings have taken place over a 64 year period, with the first reported sighting in September of 1906.

The Wendigo of the Eastern US (also Windigo, Weendigo, Windago, Windiga, Witiko, Wihtikow, and numerous other variants) is a mythical creature appearing in the mythology of the Algonquin people. It is a malevolent cannibalistic spirit into which humans could transform, or which could possess humans. Those who indulged in cannibalism were at particular risk, and the legend appears to have reinforced this practice as taboo.The first reported case was in the early 1800's.
