Mind Fuck Tuesday: Were Ancient Giants Today's Bigfoot?


Jim Heater, host of Paranormal Geeks Radio and ghost researcher, has helped out with this theory today and knocking around new concepts. Be sure and follow his blog (link above) and listen to the show on Tuesday nights at 9 pm EST . Tonight, he's having the charming and intelligent Paranormal Highwayman, David Lowery, as a guest to talk about his RV project to trek Rt. 66 and talk paranormal with America. A true paranormal geek!

Now, let's talk about the ancient giants and their relationship to Bigfoot, if there is one....
 
It may not be a coincidence that the population of witnessed Bigfoot encounters is highest from the Ohio Valley down through Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, East Texas.  Giant skeletons were discovered in the Ohio Valley area and other sites around the US like Nevada and California (not far from Bigfoot's locations in the Sierras and Cascades).

Jim Vieira, a researcher uncovering the ancient structures and the reports of unearthed skeletons of giants, has been studying this "Cradle of Giants" in the Ohio area, outward and the fact that these civilizations seemed to contain tens of thousands of civilized beings living in communities.
 

Giant skeletons were found in other countries, often with armor and weapons. Some, like the Irish "Fomorians," had double rows of teeth and referred to as `blue-black giants.' In the United States, the skeletons revealed enormous heights of 7, 8, even 10 feet, double rows of teeth and sometimes six fingers and six toes.  Sometimes, they wore cloth that looked Egyptian and other times they were found with reddish hair on their skulls. Besides giants remains found in the Ohio Valley area, there is a tale of Native Americans fighting a clan of red-haired giants in a cave in Nevada. 

"Several Native American tribes in the West have legends of past confrontations with lightly pigmented giants with either blond or red hair. The most detailed stories come from the Paiutes, who claimed that the giants were cannibals, who hunted Paiutes for food. The Paiutes supposedly attacked the giants repeatedly until their numbers were reduced to a handful. According to the Paiutes, the surviving giants were cornered in a cave then either shot with arrows or asphyxiated by setting a fire at the entrance."

John Hayward was an historian and judge in the late 1700s and into the 1800s.  He is best known for his histories of Tennessee, including The Natural and Aboriginal History of Tennessee (1823), an attempt to prove that the native tribes of Tennessee were descendants of ancient Hebrews.  

In the book The Natural and Aboriginal History of Tennessee, John Haywood describes:

"...very large bones in stone graves found in Williamson County, Tennessee in 1821.  In White County Tennessee an `ancient fortification' contained skeletons of gigantic stature averaging 7 feet in length.  In 1921, large skeletons were found in the Humboldt Lake bed near Lovelock, Nevada. The skeletons measured 8-1/2 feet tall and appeared to have been wrapped in a gum-covered fabric similar to the ancient Egyptians.  One skeleton was almost 10 feet Long.  George W. Hill, dug out a skeleton in a mount of Ashland County, Ohio, in 1879 that was 9 feet eight inch skeleton near Brewersville, Indiana.  In 1875 construction workers uncovered three giant skeletons with strands of reddish hair clinging to the skulls.  The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, Sumerians, Semites, Ugaritics and Canaanites used henna to dye the hair  and skin red.  Presently, African tribes exist with red hair. Also, Australian Aborigines have blonde and reddish hair along with many titled `Black people' in the United States (Indigenous people). A local doctor examined the remains and ascertained the skeletons were approximately 8 feet tall.  In fact, giant skeletons were found throughout Ohio and New York--Morrow County, Ohio in 1880, Ashtabula County, Ohio, 1878, Berwerville, Indiana 1879, Zanesville, Ohio, Warren, Minnesota, 1883, Kanawha County, West Virginia, 1884, and Toledo, Ohio 1895. The second thing to be asked--What, mummies found buried in the United States!  An Irish tradition recounts that brutal, warlike Fomorians who were described as `blue-black giants' invaded Ireland and other British Isles in ships from Africa, and demanded children at Halloween time. They were finally driven north to the Hebrides Isles off northwest Scotland and to Tory Island off northwest Ireland in the deep Atlantic. From there, they preyed on the people of Ulster. The Formorian giants were supposedly endowed with double-rows of teeth. In the upper Ohio Native traditions tell of `giants,' and early settlers claimed they were digging up (from Lake Erie-to the Ohio River) the skeletons of `giants' with massive skulls and double rows of teeth have been found throughout America."

If we accept the evidence that giant skeletons with double rows of teeth have been unearthed around the world and a good deal of them in America, we then have to figure out where they fit into the scheme of man's origins.

We can make one assumption off the bat, that this was not a series of humans with gigantism/pituitary tumors. That would not explain the double rows of teeth.

So, if we're talking about a race of humans that were gigantic, had double rows of teeth, often six fingers and six toes, then it would seem we had another man upon the earth perhaps during the time of Denisovans, Neanderthal, and modern Homo Sapiens.

What happened to these people that were found with tools, cloth, and structures that they built? Did they become extinct or might there be another scenario for them?

Imagine if man came across the land bridge tens of thousands of years ago and did not come along with the Bigfoot, but came to a land that had inhabitants; a man that was extraordinarily large and different?

Would the paleo-indians have fought with these giants? Would they have mated with these giants like man mated with Denisovans and Neanderthals? Would those offspring become Bigfoot? Is this what makes the supposed outcome of Ketchum's DNA make sense? That this hybridization happened here in America when these native giants met with modern man as he entered the land?

Or, might another unusual scenario be at work?

What if the very reason Bigfoot remains separate and hidden is that they have never seen us as a breeding population for them? What if, like mountain gorillas with villagers, they stay to themselves and have no reason to bother the humans? Perhaps Bigfoot simply saw us as not part of their kind in any way, even though we both walk upright? Their hidden nature might have to be more with being with their own kind, like coyotes would take to the woods to be with their type. After all, we certainly look at them and don't see a place for them in our world or as a breeding population.


If this sketch (above) and report of a mummy found in a California cave is any indication of the skeletons uncovered, the proportions are like modern humans. They are not like the proportions of a Bigfoot where the body would be longer and legs shorter in proportion to humans (if we use Patty (Patterson-Gimlin film) as an example of bodily proportions). 

What were these ancient giants? We won't know if they were connected to Bigfoot or not until we had a chance to look over a Bigfoot and his dental assets. If the shots of Matilda that got out into the public are any indication of the potential facial structure of a bigfoot, the images showed a pronounced forward-jutting maxilla and mandible (lower face) which actually is what would be necessary to house a double row of teeth. And, think on this, there have been numerous reports of 6-toed Bigfoot tracks.

Thank y'all for allowing Jim and I to give you a Mind Fuck Tuesday to leave you baffled all week. It's so easy to go on autopilot on this day of the week, but I suspect that like myself, after thinking over all these points, you will have many theories bouncing around in your heads. I'd like to hear them!

Cemetery Safety Bells, Morbid Death Mementos and Superstitions

(funeral memento - above - with woven hair of the dead included) Giving up our dead is never an easy task and it doesn't matter what region of the world or what era you grew up in, it's full of rituals and also many superstitions. Let's have a look at how we have handled death -   (cemetery bell system - above) During the cholera epidemic in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, people feared being buried when they weren't completely dead. Many reported digging up graves of loved ones to find signs they fought inside the coffin to get out. As this would nearly be an impossibility with the weight of the earth on the coffin and lack of oxygen, the rumors did start hysteria. Patents were put out for these bells that would allow the newly awakened buried person to pull a string, ring a bell above ground that the groundskeeper could hear. Imagine how freaking chilling that would be to actually hear one go off? I had an idea for a zombie story about that but never got aroun...

Don Monroe Case Files: Unusual Carving Unearthed!

Life-long explorer, adventurer and researcher, Don Monroe, has a million stories to tell, only he's been on the road nonstop, busy hiking the back country in dozens of countries, climbing the highest peaks and crawling in the deepest caves to understand this natural world we live in. He has hunted, tracked, trapped, cast footprints, talked to Native people, continued several-decade long ongoing research projects, devoured tons of research books, and ultimately sought answers about every aspect of nature and all the mysteries within. During those travels, he came across many unusual things. What I am presenting now is one of them -  Don Monroe and a researcher friend named Massey, were up at about 7000 feet on Anaconda Range in Montana. They were tracking a bear when Don noted something sticking out of the ground, just a bit of something, but didn't look like a regular rock.  In this remote area at that elevation, the idea of running across something man-made was unlikely. He s...

The Urban Sasquatch Journal: Stick Glyphs

This is the reporting by a Bigfoot researcher of an ongoing study in the Southern part of the United States in a very large park area near homes and urban setting. LINK TO PRIOR INSTALLMENTS STARTING WITH #1 Journal Volume 3 Report #50 Saturday November 26, 2016 I arrived at the park approximately 9:52 AM. The temperature was 65 and cool. It was partly cloudy with high clouds. I had my bike with me and rode the trail first. This took 44 minutes. I was back to back to my car at 10:48 AM. I then got my pack then rode over to the site. The goal of the trail ride was to observe any new tree breaks, twists or limbs etc. broke over the trail. Also to see if any stick signs were along the trail in the grass. I did observe several interesting items on the east end. These I photographed. Trail ride observations with photos. These cover photos 1-8. #1. thru #3. Between mile markers 2.75 and 3.0 , on the north side of the trail, approximately 10' inside the treeline, these possible stick ...

Monsters in the Deepest Ocean!

The ocean takes up the majority of the surface on our world and yet so little of what is in it is known to us. Upon occasion, we come across some real mysteries, tantalizing glimpses that make us wonder. For a long time, the giant squid (above) was a legend until it was finally filmed underwater. What other legends might tell us what is in the sea? One creative thinker in 1570 drew up the sea monsters that lay in the waters outside of Iceland. Scientist and artist, Abraham Ortelius had some very fanciful ideas of what awaited the seafarer. He also pondered what might live in the Pacific Ocean. In 1644, another artist/scientist drew up what he thought might lurk in the waters off of Africa. Willem Blaeu had quite an interesting vision. In 1727, Peter Kolb envisioned a sea lion of interesting characteristics - In present day, we still run across things in the sea that puzzle us. Here is one such thing photographed at Hook Island. It was estimated to be 75-80 feet long and to this day the...

Obscure Horror Movies of the 70s and 80s

The 1970s and 1980s were horror movie lovers' heaven! There were movies about nature turning on man because of pollution, witches, devil worshippers, killers, insanity, revenge, demons, families moving into haunted houses, beasts attacking, and teens being slashed.  You might have missed some of the more obscure ones in the offering -  *Descriptions thanks to my favorite movie site IMDB (The Food of the Gods - 1976) The Food of the Gods:  A group of friends travel to a remote Canadian island to hunt, only to be attacked by giant killer animals which have populated the place.

Ghost Ships and Fata Morgana Mirages

Fata Morgana   Fata Morgana is a complex superior mirage. In this instance, in the horizon a narrow band seen can separate an image, casting what looks like another image superior to the original object. In the image above it appears as if the ship is in the air. Below, the image shows a repeat of it up in the air. Sometimes, the image can be inverted. This occurs when rays of light are bent when they pass through layers that are different temperatures.  Flying Dutchman This legend is talked about among sailors since the late 1700s. The tale says that there was a ship's captain sailing around the most dangerous ocean strait, the Cape of Good Hope. He cursed the elements and swore he would make it no matter what. The ship went down and all perished, but they are said to continue as a ghost ship for eternity in the region of the Southern tip of Africa because of the arrogance. In fact, the legend was picked up and modified for many countries and many sea locations. Perhaps it wa...

Terror of Doll Island!

Photo source Isla de las Munecas or "Island of the Dolls" (popularly coined "Doll Island") is a thing of horror for many. Why would an island filled with dolls for decades, laid to waste by the elements and neglect, be terrifying? Well, let me introduce you to its most unsettling beginnings. Don Julian Santana was unhappy with city life and moved to an island on a canalway south of Mexico City for peace and quiet. It was there that the legend begins and takes on a life that is animated enough to bring the dead to life. Don reported that a little girl had drowned in the canal 50 years ago and he believed her spirit to be troubled and haunting his little island.  He said that he was out one day when he saw a doll floating in the canal and scooped it out, hanging it up on a tree near the drowning spot to make the girl eternally happy so she would not haunt and scare him.  He then became consumed with finding more and more dolls, fishing them out of the canal, sorting t...

The Most Bizarre Photographic Finds On Mars!

Mars explorers have sent back photos of some rather unusual, sometimes vague, and often times puzzling items on the surface of the "dead" planet.  This has us wondering, if our own planet no longer supported life, would all the evidence of our having been here be covered up by a millennia of earth, leaving only the occasional hint someone might have been here? Here's a look at a large gallery of photos from the red planet. You come to your own conclusions.... Th e one above, I will chalk up to optical illusion. The stone is actually on the ground in the distance. In the foreground is a rock casting a shadow.  Are we looking at a planet that seems to be dead and yet it has a history of life? What if a civilization that was quite advanced had the opportunity to leave a sick planet for a healthy one not so far away in terms of space travel? Is Mars a planet that never supported life or is it a planet that sustained life long enough to build an entire civilization now buried ...

Present Day Russian Neanderthal?

Regions with Bigfoot-type bipedal creatures have their own local names for these types. In Russia and Siberia, they are referred to as the Almas by the Mongolian people and Almasty by the Russians. These beings are described as between 5 feet tall and 6-1/2 feet tall; much shorter than the typical American Bigfoot. They are said to have reddish brown hair, flat noses, a pronounced brow ridge, and weak chin. This is a classic Neanderthal face. One thing we don't know about Neanderthal is if they were hair covered. With hundreds of thousands of years to adapt to the climate of the Altai mountains and cold northern regions, they likely were.  A boy in Russia ( LINK ) found some prints that were attributed to a possible yeti.  When you look at it, however, it resembles a Neanderthal print quite a bit with the pronounced inner curve and the angle from big to little. Could Neanderthal still exist in Russia and Mongolia? It would be as likely as my theory that the Bigfoot are d...
