For centuries, perhaps millennia, the indigenous peoples of North America have told stories of giant wild men who roam the mountainous regions of the continent. In the 1920's and then again in the 1950's, these stories were brought up as explanations for the otherwise inexplicable sightings of "ape men" or "hairy people" in the Pacific Northwest. In the papers, these creatures were described as inhuman devils, beings who, if sentient, were certainly not human. In the traditions of the natives of the region, however, the line is not so clear. At other times, these factor into more recent stories, like those of Portlock, Alaska, the Valley of Headless Men in the Northwest Territories, and the SiTeCah of Lovelock Cave. Are these just made up boogeymen to keep children away from the forests, or did a tribe of "wild people" truly haunt the forests of America and Canada? And if they did, could they still be out there?
