"Whistling Paddy" and other Bigfoot in the Backwoods of Ohio.Who or what is Bigfoot? The simplest description is of a huge, hairy, muscular bipedal creature like a big ape and covered in hair ranging from black to brown to red to white depending it seems on the season as well you might see. The average heights reported are six to nine feet tall. Numerous North American peoples have mythologies concerning this mysterious creature and that would be an enormous book in its own right. I will stick to this which is the largest set of books on Bigfoot ever published which due to its size. It is in four volumes in paperback format. Over twelve hundred pages of Bigfoot encounters from all over the North America! All of the sources are in the bibliography and are published or available on very reputable sites on the internet such as BFRO. Many are anonymous but I believe that this can be disregarded. Bigfoot is still a controversial subject.You might notice that some of your favorite reports of Bigfoot might be missing. I know that your Grandma saw something in the local lake or woods or sky but she never did mention when and sometimes even where so Grandma’s sighting will not be included. This also applies to plenty of other sightings. No dates so no entry. Even a year is enough and the name of the locality. Neither of these is a no show. But there are thousands more so find out about what might have or still might be lurking in your neighborhood. This is not your normal road map as we visit all over the continent. Happy travelling! You will be amazed as to what you will find in your state or even your neighborhood!Not all states start at 1800 either but I will try and start with datable and generally findable events. Some have plenty of sightings, some have very few and a lot of places that you thought had none actually had quite a few. I have seen various paranormal research organizations on the internet disappearing without trace and all of their accumulated data and knowledge with them. That is why I like books. Even after the last website crashes there might well be a lone paperback sitting in a thrift shop, safe with its repository of knowledge. Is Bigfoot rare? This book says NO! You be the judge.Read firsthand accounts in their own words, and spelling, as well as second person and third person accounts from many sources both in printed format as well as from respectable Websites to my understanding. This may seem disjointed at first but it shows the emotions and reactions of the observer much better than a long dry list of third hand reports. So the reports will be a mixture of first person, second person and third person as well as historic. Many of the reports are also in the witness’s own written words as well including spelling and sentence structure. I prefer the authenticity of the reports as I am reporting their words, not mine. Editing is for tidying up purposes only. Sometimes the spelling is amazing but the report itself is still true to form.

A HISTORY OF BIGFOOT IN NSW VOL ONE

March 19, 2023 • George Mitrovic

You thought Bigfoot only lived in North America?

Meet the Yowie, his Australian cousin, in the Colony of New South Wales that later became a state.

The first colonists arrived in Australia, which was then New South Wales, in 1788.

There are countless reports of hairy Men and Man-Apes and Manbeasts and Apemen in Australia as there are in many places other then Antarctica. There are also numerous names for them from a vast selection of tribal and language groups. Unfortunately many do not have a location, even an approximate one, or a date that we can identify. These, as in my other books, I do not use. But there are still plenty of them with places and dates.

Remember that this book like most of my other books is a guidebook for you to explore from. Not an academic work or a vast tome encrusted with a lot of verbiage and colourful descriptions. You can find those in a lot of other places but you can start here. Enjoy your travels across part of an amazing continent. Sometimes we only want data.
Now we come to our first mention of the hairy hominid, the Yeti, the Bigfoot and as it is known in Australia, the Yowie, sighted in the infant colony of Sydney, New South Wales, in 1800. For those of us who do not know it the hairy hominid is the legendary hairy manlike creature like a wildman that supposedly lives deep down in the woods. In ancient English legends these manlike forest creatures are called the Woodwoses, amongst other names. In modern America they are referred to quite often as Bigfoot and Sasquatch as well as a host of Native American names as there is a long folkloric history of them. Of seeing them but not necessarily of capturing or killing them.

Why then if this is the case and with the creatures placed in the common vocabulary of the time, why were they not regarded as normal creatures like deer and badgers, but as something different, as being not quite here but as being somehow from beyond our known reality?

Why then are some creatures regarded as God created animals, indeed regarded as quite normal, and others regarded as monsters, as the spawn of Satan, as animals of evil and why then is this a universal foundation of belief? Technically they should be regarded as a new type of gorilla or some such, yet we can capture gorillas. But try and catch one of these?
