vivienOh, um, look at that! It's October 1st already... for about two more hours. Oops!
So this year I am doing the 31 Monsters of Halloween. Do not expect long posts. There will be cutting and pasting (which I will link and italicize!). However, there will also be interesting facts about all kinds of monsters!
We'll start off with the Wild Man of the Navidad.
The Wild Man of the Navidad (or the Wild Woman of the Navidad) is believed to be one of the first sightings of Bigfoot in Texas.
It was first widely reported in 1837 throughout the early settlements along the Navidad River bottoms, circa the modern-day town of Sublime, Texas, in Lavaca County. Slaves along the Navidad called it "The Thing that Comes," for, though no one saw it, there was always evidence that Something had come. On moonlit nights from as early as 1836, people would find food missing from their cabins, even though an intruder would have had to step over sleeping dogs to reach it.
Bigfoot stories come from all over. Nearly every region has a variation of a bigfoot or Lake Man or wild thing. Anyone know of one from where they live?
