Although I was planning to keep this to myself, these are many more reasons why I bought a P5. Ridicule away. It's like chasing Gnomes...but hey,...Here's some "history'.
The oldest account of Bigfoot was recorded in 986 AD by Leif Ericson and his men. During their first landing in the New World, the Norsemen wrote about manlike beasts that were “horribly ugly, hairy, swarthy and with great black eyes.”
Among his accounts, Leif told of seeing huge hairy men who towered over him and his men. The “huge hairy men”, according to Leif, lived in the Woods and had a rank odour and a deafening shriek. It should be noted that Leif Ericson and his men describe huge manlike beasts that were loud and foul-smelling and clearly distinct from native peoples. Apparently, Leif had several sightings of the “huge hairy men” before departing the island.
They called the creature “Skellring”. People believe that the creature “Skellring” is what we know today as Bigfoot. This is the earliest recorded encounter with Bigfoot, or Sasquatch.
The Norse word “skellring” is a term of contempt. It means, roughly, a “barbarian.” What is interesting is the word “hairy.” The Norse were a hairy people themselves, big men with matted hair and beards. Why did they remark on the “skellring” being hairy? Was it because they were very much hairier than the Norsemen?
I've been in some pretty remote places and have had on many occasions felt like I was being watched. Gut feeling or sixth sense? Having studied for many years on prehistory, archaeology and cultural anthropology I'm not positive, but my gut instinct tells me the big hairy man exists. If they're not Apes which have escaped over the past 200 or so years...?
