Gotta point out the obvious. Hammerson most definitely, at least in my opinion, takes the podium here on the Tube when it comes to American/Canadian Early mythologies and traditional beliefs. The Depth of research and incredible attention to detail is almost too much to absorb. No other researchers present knowledge with such detail. Just a wealth of knowledge.
I'm from southern VA. Grew up and lived there most of my life. When I was 2 years old, I was in my car seat in my mother's vehicle while she stood nearby in my grandma's driveway talking to her. She says that all of a sudden, the car rolled backwards into a ditch. She immediately assumed I released the parking brake but when she asked me what happened, I told her a monkey had crawled into the car and released the brake. Gives me chills now after hearing these stories...
Hammerson is one of a couple of folks in all of the RU-vid channels I'm aware of, that I would make the effort, and be excited to meet and chat at length with. There's just no bummers in his work. I'm ridiculously picky about Western era, Fur Trade, and cryptid topics. Who else even does this ? Come to think of it. makes my head hurt to know how much research and focus it takes to accomplish this. Gratitude and respect sir. You need anything in our mysterious and beautiful Four Corners area, well, like the Man said, "Im your Huckleberry".
Especially such a young guy. He sounds like a millenial, or even gen z. You dont see many zoomers making detailed presentations on canadian history for fun.
@@curtisyue182the zoomers are bewitched with slave.mental programming put in the media.but they could have potential if released and given a better enviormental.
On a sidenote, the older I get I realize how many mountain ranges there are in this country that I’ve never heard of. We have a small mountain range a couple hours for me that I hiking, and that has it completely own sort of environment and vibe and ecosystem, and it makes me think of how many completely unique and beautiful places there are in this country. We need to stop building and keep preserving these places
Keep building because people keep spitting out tons of babies. I'm all for the population lowering in numbers, look at India and China. Conditions get worse as population rises
@@johnhance5868don't buy into that "the world is over populated" BS. Bill Gates and the rest of the goon squad wants you to think that... I don't trust Elon Musk as far as I can throw him, but he straight up says that the world isn't over populated, the rate at which we reproduce has actually gone done in recent years. The entire world's population could, theoretically, fit into Texas at the same population density as New York City. Don't let the scum of the earth fool you. Think for yourself and question the narrative.
This is a well researched and interesting documentary. I checked with an Ahtna friend from my university days in Fairbanks, and she has indeed heard stories about monkey sightings in the Mentasta Mountains, some from the 1990s. I also recommended this video to her.
When i was in Asia i saw many temples that had huge murals on all the corridors depicting monkeymen at war with the population. All over i saw the painted murals depicting war scenes! Hideous looking men with tails at war with asian men. I even saw one or two monkeymen that had swords on their sides! But the regular men were all armed. In vietnam there were reports of men with tails throwing rocks at the marines in one location. So i dont doubt at all about the existence of such creatures. They apear to be well documented in other countries.
In my tribe's area we have tails of small long tailed men about the size of a seven year old child who sometimes take children it's interesting to note that the Blackfoot and crow both killed the long tailed men by setting fire to their burrow houses in the cliffs
Great to hear you relate a story from the Copper River! Elders from Mentasta and Chistochina still share the “monkey people” story you mention. But, they don’t seem to think that they are still around.
As just an aside, the Upper Tanana and Upper Copper River Ahtna have intermarried for a long time. There are many cousins between the two groups. So it’s not surprising that they have story’s with similar “monkey people”stories.
@@johnnyh-pay5843 That makes a lot of sense. One creepy quote from the book 'Tatl'ahwt'aenn Nenn', which I did not include in the video since it conflicts with some other versions of the legend, says, "I have heard it said that the Cet'aenn, locally referred to as the 'monkey people', come out at night, sit on the mountainsides, and watch over the lowlands."
@@HammersonPeters this makes sense. My encounters were during night hours. And the tracks we saw were in the morning and fresh not more than a couple hours
i live in scugog, born and raised.. i live on the lake.. there is definitely weird stuff lurking around here at night, everyone around here knows about it.. ive seen unexplainable animals around the lake myself.
Interestingly, there is a Native American tale about a tribe of giant cannibals who were also finally eliminated when a group of warriors managed to locate their dwelling and plug it with organic material that they then set alight.
I am so excited about this video! I actually have a Devil Monkey encounter story myself, and I've been waiting for someone to do a new video about it. Thank you, and I would be happy to relate my own story if you'd like.
Not a Canadian story but one that might have a Canadian connection. In 1954, my mother (10 years before my birth) was the last person known to have seen the "waitoreke", the elusive otter-like creature, reported as inhabiting the waterways in Southland, New Zealand, at the southernmost part of the South Island. She saw it while fishing under the Clifden Bridge, on the Waiau River, about 10 kilometres north of the small logging town of Tuatapere. It swam from the northern river bank, across to the Tuatapere side of the river. She said it was not a dog, cat, rat or any other animal she had seen before. It was as big as a large cat, its fur was sleek and it swam on its back with it's paws resting on its belly. The problem is that New Zealand is not supposed to have otters. We are only supposed to have three native land mammals, stranded in New Zealand when it split from Australia many, many millions of years ago: a native bat, and two types of seals. ALL other mammals were brought to New Zealand by humans. So where did this animal, seen by early European explorers in the mid-19th Century, and described to them by the native Maori, come from? Gavin MacKenzie in his book "1420: the Year China Discovered the World" suggested the otters came from a Chinese exploration fleet that either carried otters from Asia or picked them up from the the nortwestern American coast. Personally, I think it more likely that otters escaped, or were released from, American or British sealing or whaling ships that came to New Zealand, in the 1790s. Less than 80 kilometres from Clifden, at the mouth of the Aparima River, further east along the Southland coast, is the former whaling station of Riverton, founded in 1830, the first European settlement in the South Island, but visited since the 1790s. Sealers were dropped off around the nearby Fiordland and southern coasts to hunt seals, especially fur seals, for their hides. In some cases, the sealers were stranded in their camps for years at a time, killing and skinning thousands of seals until rescued by returning, or other, sealing or whaling ships. In fact, in the fiords of Fiordland (the south western part of the South Island), it is still possible to find mossy stockpiles of sealskins that were stashed in coastal caves 220 years ago.
i feel like we're missing something big concerning the ancient russo-alaskan land bridge. we keep discovering so much more and older signs of native american civilization than what is suggested by the current understanding of a short and tenuos ice passage between the continents. not to mention it wasn't understood until recently that despite ancient ice age conditions covering most of canada with glaciers there was a distinct unglaciated passage connecting Alaska though the yukon down to the lower 48 states and the rest of the Americas. also people like the inuit, middle American native tribes, and more than a few ancient meso/south american tribes talk of mysterious ancient people that predated them like the dorset people, the mound builders at poverty point, and the founders of cities like tiwanaku. having stomped around the prince william sound and the copper river valley many a time since i have family living on the coast there; during alot of spring and summer the area absolutely resembles the misty mountain valleys primatologists like dian fossey describe where they studied congo mountain gorillas.
Our Elders stand firm as they always have that we we placed here on Turtle Island. Literally born here. Not across an ice bridge, though some people may have migrated during this time. But not the Anishinaabek.
@@Firstthunder i couldn't and wouldn't argue against that. the better our scientific methods of detecting the past get the stranger our picture of pre European america gets. we seem to have a pretty clear picture of what took place in europe and asia but it becomes confused and contradictory when we apply the same methods to the americas. current archaeology suggests humans that look like us with our capacity for intelligence have existed for at least 180,000 years. we only have written history to account for the last 10,000 of those years. so much could've happened that we'll never know about especially when we were only one of the 3 distinct human species living on the planet (the other 2 being the neanderthals and denisovans). i hope I'll live long enough to see some of these mysteries get unraveled.
Others are calling it Ancient Sun worshipper's pyramid builders which traveled wih reefboats on the currents to and from indo europe, african,asian regions, Heyerdahl were in on the idea but he passed before he could make more " tie more knots on the rope of history" about it. He said The Bearded Gods about them. Some names with similar desriptions Quetzalqoatl, Kukulkan,Kontiki Viracocha,Ra. It looks like when the Bronzeage collapsed so started their collapse also.
@@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski European leadership has purposefully hidden all the true history of the west. Columbus didn't discover North America. Because they were in South America 1500 years ago! How could they possibly miss it? Second Mongolian history and the tartars history goes way back. Mongolia has a written history that goes back 140,000 years. And there is another people group that has a history nearly double that. And during my travels in Asia i saw in their Buddhist temples large murals. All depicting wars with the "monkeymen" hideous looking men with tails. Mongolians being nomads. And look like all native Americans north and south so closely resemble these ancient people groups that I personally wouldn't doubt that they are all descendants of the Mongolian people! Even in Genesis the first bit where it says God says "let US make man in OUR own image. This was the creation of ancient peoples. Then it goes on to say that "God all by himself formed Adam out of the dust of the earth. " thus creating a breed of men and making him a living soul. Gave him a job to do to. The serpent in the garden that tempted Eve? A simple way to hide adult content in a family reading. Another man tempted her and she gave birth to Cain. A corrupted seed. Not pure. Adam and Eve only go back about 13,000 years. When I visited a Canadian costal village of Bella Coola i spoke with the natives and asked them what that nam meant? They said about 10,000 years ago the waters of the ocean rose up and the people anchored their canoes to the tops of the mountains and then they broke loose! The flood of Noah.the name Bella Coola means , place of broken Anchorage. The mountains there are like 6,000 ft high at least if not more.
I've seen a snow monkey while hunting in west Texas, called the game warden and they were super nice and sent folks out to look into it. Never found the monkey but they told me about the sanctuary at Dilly which was about 50 miles down the road from where I was. Apparently it's fine if you shoot them but you are supposed to call the warden afterwards if you ever see one. Wardens words were something like "those little bastards ain't supposed to be here we want you to kill em on site, they're like hogs with thumbs and herpes". Not sure how correct he was about the herpes thing but apparently they are pretty good at pissing off farmers and wrecking stuff.
One of the very few channels where I hit the like button before I've even started watching 😁 I just know it's gonna be good! And a crazy synchronicity: I've never heard a discussion of New world monkeys versus old world monkeys before... until somebody brought it up yesterday! Now I'm watching this. Weird. 😊
I've seen a picture of the Devil Monkey holding a white dog that went missing. The photo was taken by a photographer above a high cliff. He even bumped into the couple searching for their dog but at the time had no clue, on till he got home and looked at his photo and saw the Devil Monkey standing between trees. It's crazy that the government just allow us to freely camp without any warning signs.
@@deliajones9541 I know, why isn't the Government putting up warning signs. People with children need to know. This phenomenon or dark secret has me flabbergasted.
I have a book called “Tales of the Iroquois” and I thought it was very strange that they had a word for “monkey” considering there aren’t any monkeys anywhere near here. How would they know what a monkey is?
There are tales of bands of devil baboons that terrorized ranchers in South Texas. Around 1900 its said the armed ranchers got together & put a gunfire end to them once and for all.
Could easily have been a species of mountain baboon adapted to the area. A species we have no idea existed because they didn't get lucky and leave behind a fossil or other record. There are probably millions of animals and maybe even societies that developed, flourished, then passed away without any member of the group having a death that was conducive to fossil formation. Fossil formation is a rare thing, even harder than rolling a natural 20.
The Grattons you refence are my step grandparents and I had NEVER heard that story in my life but also interesting to me how to correlates to a sighting I had on Mount Seymour in the 1990s
Fantastic Hammerson! I have never heard any of these stories. the bait worked and I got the new audiobook Vol III and one I somehow missed Mysteries of Canada Vol II so keep up the excellent work. I like these long format videos and I listen to it while driving or working on the farm many times over.
Back '88 I was in college, small town. In SE Okla.there are some large areas undeveloped. I know where I hunt the closest house is around 10 miles. Well there was a guy in our dorm that shot a monkey over Christmas break while squirrel hunting. We went to the library and could never find any monkey that matched his. I might add this is choctaw country and it was not a baboon
@@johnbell1396 I knew the guy and seen polaroid pics. I was a little aggravated by how the situation was handled. I can't remember all the details, according to other guys this was not unusual for that area and at the time we believed it was an escape . I believe the main draw for wildlife here is plant diversity, 200 different plants to the acre in places.
@@lordgrunwalder1607 well it was 34 years ago so if I remember it was not very big maybe 2' tall and he shot it out of a tree. It had a long tail and it was the color of a brown squirrel. I can't remember his last name or I would try to find him. When hammer said choctaw nation I remember this story. Their capitol is around clayton,Okla. Maybe 10 miles away is honabia which is where they have a bigfoot festival. I personally in my 40 years of running around in these parts have ever seen anything that is not explainable but I have seen some cool stuff
Let me guess,nobody thought to take any pictures of this mysterious monkey right?What a surprise!!!There is never any proof,or if there is,its a blurry mess.I will give an example,in the 80's i hunted and trapped alot ,something i am not proud of as i have grown older.I caught a red tail hawk in a foot trap baited with deer heart.Before releasing it,i took a polaroid.I still have the polaroid camera,as well as the photo.The point is,most hunters have some type of device to document what they harvest.Its just what alot of outdoorsman do,especially something as unusual as say a monkey in a tree in oklahoma,or a hawk caught in a foot trap.
I live in West Virginia,right on the Ohio River. I'm pretty sure a Puckwegie chased me off the riverbank,outta my favorite fishin spot 😬 and I've heard stories of people having sightings of Devil Monkeys here! 😕
There's a real crazy Puckwedgie video with these guys around a fire pit, 8 saw it years ago but can't find it again. You can totally see the Puckwedgie running away behind these guys, they never saw it at the time
@@misguidedangel6550 GASP!! Yea,it was sooo funny how I kept coming across all this information on the Little People,after my incident 😏 Most people I tell this account to,always thinks it was a Sasquatch..how people think they can use infrasound,to make you uncomfortable,or make you scared,or even make you sick. I might have agreed,if it weren't for finding the teensy tiny little footprints. 😉
@@misguidedangel6550 man,I keep thinkin about your message,and picturing that video in my mind..Oooo I really wanna see it. If you happen upon it again,send the link..😀 if you would 👍
I never told anyone about a my sighting of a single footprint at the edge of a river and steep embankment. My brother and i dredged for gold deep in the mountains of Northern California years ago. We had many strange encounters we dont talk about them folks will think you're crazy ya know. But we have seen several Bigfoot through out the years and one thing that haunted us.... a single 3 towed footprint with claw print at the base of small drop off onto the sand or gravels of a river. We had been hearing strange noises at night thinking there was a wild hog in the area at first. But quickly realizing we were way to high up and the steep rocky area was just not possible. So we ruled that out. The large claws...... we then thought deformed bear. We looked around for other prints and couldnt find any. We didn't stick around long because we could tell it was only a few hours old at most. And it was in an extremely difficult place to access. We never told anyone. But I remember how troubled we were. The print was so clear and nothing else around it was disturbed.
@@mgwgeneral6467 Yikes!! I love hearing of strange incidents or encounters(especially when they're not happening to me)🤣 That's super interesting!! Got any guesses of what might have stepped in that spot?? 😏
I JUST discovered your channel, and I must say I am very impressed by the quality of work you have done! I haven't heard of these stories, and the manner you present them is amazing! Keep up the great work, so glad I found your channel, and I look forward to your future content!
That story of how they have killed those “monkeys”, is REALLY REALLY similar to an indigenous story of Malesia/Bengala zone. I can’t remember clearly the exact spot but its very interesting that similarity!
Not the first time folklore/myths from totally separate cultures from other parts of the globe seem to describe the same/similar being or event, the more you study them the more common ground you find between them.
Makes sense, seeing as "smoke them out their den and clubber them over the head once they leave their safe home" is one of the oldest hunting techniques of humankind. It just works so well, that undoubtedly every human culture on earth that had prey/predators living underground or in caves did this at some point or another,
Yes, but the similarity, was not just the way they dispatched them but was, that they where killing another group of “wild cousins” of the jungle. Some sort of unknown hominids.
@@grisharotov9735 I think just about ANYONE would ever read Ivan T. Sanderson's ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN; LEGEND COME TO LIFE is familiar with thrse reports.
Interesting. I had not come across the Alaska/Yukon native stories about monkey like creatures. Because the stories are very similar from tribe to tribe I suspect they share a common origin. It would be interesting to go back to the caves from the first story and apply current archeological techniques on a new dig.
Why is it impossible? We have snow monkeys in japan,, take advantage of hot springs!!!! Possible they have hot spots like this in Canada's mountains????!!
There are stories of gold prospectors and others going missing in the Yukon, later their remains being found missing their heads Authorities could find no explanation.
Monkeys in Canada….make the existence of Sasquatch sound perfectly more plausible, somehow. Idk why but I just can’t picture a monkey in the vast Canadian wilderness. Thank you for the posting. Enjoyed the info
We have mountain lions… would you ever picture lions in Canada… plus the monkey could have adapted to climate, they would be small though, thick fur. Just don’t know what they would eat in Canadian wilderness.
There are some higher altitude monkeys in India, and of course the famous monkeys in Japan that survive the cold soaking in hot springs. So now Canada has reports of monkey, Sasquatch and Dogman and the tail-less Werewolf. What next?
@@TheBaBaTV from this video, I'd guess it hunts the other animals that live in the area. If its smart enough to hunt in human encampments and not get caught, I'd think it could take deer, coyotes and probably lots of smaller animals like squirrels, possums, raccoons etcetera. What did human primates eat before we became farmers?
Hammerson, if you would like to learn more about encounters and/or sightings of these creatures in the US, please contact me and I can point you in the right direction. The Hmong people have a lot of stories of encounters with these creatures throughout the jungles Laos while hunting. We call it Phim Nyuj Vais, a Laotian word.
Trudeau was not elected. Nobody in this world gets elected. Everyone in "power" is pre-selected. Democracy is a farce. Only nature is real, enjoy nature.
Dude. They weren't one legged monsters, they bounce on TAILS!! No hopping. Even Pliny and Alexander encountered them. Monopods, Kui, Unipods. From Nordic to Chinese lore. Convergent evolution with a new world monkey species? Lemurs? This is something.
I have to say this one is one of your best videos yet. I think I have watched it over 20 times now. It's just so interesting. The music is perfect for it and the writing is perfect. Just a great informative and entertaining video. I even like the way you pointed out the belief of rafting monkeys Like they could survive for months at sea with no water and little food. Great job on the video. I just wanted to say thank you
@@lordgrunwalder1607 well my dad went around the ridge to run the deer towards me I had my 50 caliber black powder clinched in my hands and here it come running down the hill I was so startled I forgot I was even holding my gun and here it came down the mountain and then it hit the creek at the bottom and almost just disappeared I'm not saying evaporated I just mean it got out of there quick it was as big as me the long black bushy tail and the long muzzle are still in my mind
in the end of the 1990s i was going from quebec city to montreal and somewher near Trois-Rivieres on the north side on the road near a big bog, sitting on it's hunches was the same devil monkey you describe with the face of a baboon, long tail of the same color all the time he was motionles basking in the warm spring sun at the end of april. i had slowed the car so as to better see him. two passengers were with me and i called their attention on the strange sight. they saw the same animal i did.then i asked them if they wanted me to stop the car so that i would back up a little to see the beast again. they were unanymously against it.
Thank you. This is my first time visiting here. I enjoyed it so much that I sat glued in front of the screen getting closer at some points to the very end. I am going to watch all of your videos Thanks for sharing Love and Peace
Wow the battle of the Cet'aeni sounded insane!!! I've always thought situations like that led to the antihalation of most wonky species, Humans don't like to feel threatened, it's easier to just wipe out w/e is bothering us lol.
In late summer of 2019 I was camping in Ontario, north most part of Algonquin Parc. Our group of four had a late night visitor. Tall, with long thin arms. 7 feet tall with a strange primate body shape, covered in shaggy hair. It ran away once we yelled at it.
In the 1970's Miami had monkeys, but they were pretty much centralized in the undeveloped areas. I know because I used to see them, but we kept our distance. Believable information considering the monkeys in Miami. Thanks
Monkeys in Florida are invasive species, at least there was two incidents in past decades that started the proliferation of monkeys in the wilderness of Florida. One was bc a wealthy gentleman wanted to build a wildlife preservation and sort of zoo in a patch of land like an island in the everglades thinking monkeys could not swim but they did and as soon they were release spread beyond the reserve. The other incident is believe to have happen in a lab where test monkeys scape.
Between Hammerson Peters and Bob Gymlan both have the most well researched and thought out cryptid videos on YT ! Just wish Mr Gymlan had double the content he has is my only complaint of his work ! Keep up the absolutely mind blowing videos and the information gifted to us masses therein
I tell you I am from Maine midcoast area and in my 48 yrs we have had a handful of encounters with what people would call sasquatch/BF and it's not only completely amazing but it holds you to a feeling that not only overcomes the body and mind but the soul as well and that's no joke.... it's a overwhelming flood of emotions and I mean a FLOOD OF EMOTIONS from pure stun to fright to utter incoherent of inability to comprehend and filter of what's happening.
Too many people are seeing and reporting what they saw with amazing similarity - from all over North America and other countries. Many get PTSD and need to check in with a therapist who can help them get relief from the stuck traumatic memory. Scoffing and rejection from "normals" they try to tell only makes it worse.
In the late 90s-early 2000s we used to hear stories of monkeys in the forests of Ontario at camp. As convincing as it was, I always dismissed it until I saw this video. Not saying it was true, but clearly there's something more to these stories
Absolutely fascinating and nothing short of excellent! Hammerson Peters has done yet again. I was not even aware of this cryptozoological entity until fairly recently with the missing in Alaska series.
I just gotta say awesome videos may I suggest the eponigamoq a giant sturgeon like fish that people mistake for a small island when sunbathing black to dark gray with red eyes and whiskers in lake Ontario and Erie I believe to be a giant lost breed of sturgeon there's next to no info other than local natives I've only seen it in one book about Canadian monsters years ago after looking into what we witnessed fishing a small island submerged and swam under our boat and was way bigger then the common sturgeon like a short bus swimming under us
When i was a kid we heard old timers say that sturgeon in the Northern California delta got huge! One a guy caught using a tree sapling for his anchor point hooked a 1500 pounder and went and got his horses to pull it from the water. Several folks told us this story so there could be something to it.
@@mgwgeneral6467 I can verify I have actually heard this story before from a friend and also said in California so mabe its a genetic thing I just would love more awnsers they do get big but I've never seen one similar
This is amazing, it made me wonder if the legend is actualy describing rival tribes, a tall humanoid creature with hairy boddy and naked face… you know inuit hunters cover their boddy with thick fur coats and only keep their face naked, and its known that the northern tribes are taller than southern ones, so what if the legend of tall humanoid creature with naked face actualy indeed about a human, but its later mistranslated into a creature story?
Well after you spent a lot of your time out in the mountains hiking around like i do hunting gold metal detecting and dredging. You will eventually come across something strange. There are lots of things out there and there are reasons why governments cover up stuff like. Bones from the Giants. And big guy sightings.they even go so far as to sanction off lands and make them off limits to people. Why? They are protecting something. I know city folk will never understand. But every year there are still thousands of new species of all other types of life being found on this earth. There is plenty of documentation on Bigfoots existence. From mines that closed down because of them (2that i know of in California) to president Teddy Roosevelt's diary from a hunting trip. But there are lots of folks who have seen them but are reluctant to speak about it. And who could blame them when so many ignorant folk will only poke fun at them.
@@mgwgeneral6467 And cloning genetic underground Lab inventions that need to be tested out above ground, and things that survived the last deluge, some of which were also genetically engineered, and maybe also planetary drop outs or drop ins both of recent and ancient origin, and perhaps also some purportedly extinct life forms. And you know Life does also have its non corporeal sentients and non sentients. Did I leave anything out? Fellas, it's a zoo and maybe best we leave it to a few to keep things in check and go about cleaning up our own messes.
Re: Kushtaka It's more likely that the T'lingits named the Otterman such because of shared behavior with otters, and not because they had tails. i/e Feeding on fish and mollusks from the river using their hands.
Great video, love the music in the background…. I do believe there a strange creatures that do exist, most people will not talk about it. Monkeys around the world, seem to be intelligent, sneaky and little trouble makers. That said, I can imagine a 6 foot Monkey with the same attitude. Someone, somewhere must of capped one on these animals but never said anything. There’s only room for “ One King of The Jungle “, here in the US.
Teddy Roosevelt wrote about seeing a good number of them Skunk Apes as they were known in those days. The legendary Bigfoot as many of us call em. There is a county document i think in Jamestown. California where a mine worker shot and killed a Bigfoot. Later their mess hall came under attack with all the 30 or so workers inside! The document said the creatures threw huge rocks like 20-40 pounds into the roof of the building. The men were fearful for their lives and that week the mine closed down! By reason of Bigfoot attack. Bigfoot are like an unsocial breed of men. They don't play well with others. Some are ok while others are ... well... wild animals.
I like what you've done here @Hammerson Peters! There are more stories you should uncover from other countries about these beings. Hoping you can uncover some stories my Hmong people have experienced. These entities are not just monkeys, the Hmong people that lives in the mountains and hills have fought against these highly intelligent beings with supernatural abilities. In the jungles of Laos and Thailand where lots of Hmong people have reside in for many years. There are stories of hunters who have survived brutal attacks from these what you call devil monkeys. These beings are spiritual beings and very territorial. They are known to shape shift as a companion if that person has already been missing in the hunting party. Most hunters that survives these attacks and live to tell the tales are usually brave men who know of their existence and have prepare special silver or brass bullets that can harm them. Normal bullets will not harm them and they are smart enough to play dead, lure and bait their preys and even play with their food. In my culture only skillful shamans are truly prepared to deal with them in their physical form and their spiritual form. By spiritual form I speak of dreams.
Ehhh..I just commented on how I live in West Virginia,and I've heard of Devil Monkeys here..now Hammerson is sayin how there are sightings of the Devil Monkeys in Appalachia 😏
the idea that monkeys crossed the ocean on vegetation rafts is unbelievably silly. what did they eat? more importantly, what did they drink? who made the raft?
Similar tales are handed down of that hobbit human h. Floriensis (messed up that spelling I bet) but they supposedly stole a human child for food so the villagers started a fire at the entrance of the cave the Hobbits lived in and killed them all. It's interesting that in our collective history we have these tales of war with species close to, but not the same as us. Both stories seem to go "they started eating us so we killed them all".
Huh, I'd heard the story about the Tailed Ones before, used to freak me out as a kid. But never really connected it with the whole devil monkey thing. Is interesting.
Salty Seawitch~ just ask any asian about them. They were always at war against them it seems. Because the temples are covered with war scenes of men fighting hideous men with tails who seem to rarely carry any weapons.
I live in Florida and we absolutely do have monkeys here. The rhesus macaques are the only I’ve seen on the Silver River, but there could be other species elsewhere in the state. One of the biggest mysteries is why the Macaques haven’t spread further north or south than they have. They’ve had many decades to spread, but they usually stay right there in the forest surrounding the river.
I have a large amount of forest woodland in North Louisiana and we have encountered multiple Bigfoots over the years and have photo and video proof and one particular Bigfoot we have seen and photographed has a face like a Howler Monkey. He is the only one like this, even his fur color is different. He is also much larger than the others. He also seems older and we have always just found him rather strange.
my guess is the creator of all these things mixed human dna with various ape dna and possibly the dna of the creator itself wich gives them the odd traits. so now we have sasquatch that look like all different kinds of monkeys and gorilla ect.
This video is so important to me I actually seen one of these things right here in Mineral Bluff Georgia USA in a big bend on the Toccoa River on my property
I wonder if there's a correlation to the beast of LBL stories which witnesses have conflicting descriptions of a wolf-like face but with a shorter snout like a baboon and pointed ears that sit on the side of the head instead of on top like the Dogmen. This is what the survivor of the LBL attack, Roger described.
I loved how detailed this video was. Bigfoot- type cryptids are my favorites! The Kushtaka stories were fascinating too. Merfolk stories are the same everywhere in the world, I guess
Always enjoy your videos, but one small gripe! You mentioned a “decapitated head”. You can have a decapitated body or a severed head but not a decapitated head.
