Sasquatch sighting in Florida (1884)

In 1884 a rural community living around Ocheesee Pond lost livestock and heard eerie nighttime calls from the water. After children were frightened by a hair-covered figure, residents formed a posse, captured it, and transported it chained to the governor in Tallahassee. The governor could not place it and sent it to the nearby Chattahoochee hospital, where it died and was buried under later construction.

Folklore near Lovelock, Nevada

The hosts retell tribal accounts of tall red-haired cannibalistic giants who trapped and ate local people and were eventually trapped in a cave, burned and killed after a multi-year war. Later miners reportedly found large mummies, oversized sandals and artifacts, and a large hand-like mark was seen on the cave wall.

The guest relays a tribal story in songs that bothersome man-eating creatures were driven north past tall forests into very cold big mountains and into another land. Most were exiled so they would not return, though some escaped in different directions.
