Giants From the Dreamtime the Yowie In Myth And Reality

Mt Victoria 1959

Huge hairy man-like Creature

Late one night in early 1959 Mr and Mrs Ken and June Jeffcott, together with their young daughter Vicki, were driving towards Katoomba through Mt Victoria township, along the Great Western Highway. On the southern side of town, near the turnoff to Victoria Falls, as they rounded a bend in the road, they were surprised when their car headlights caught a huge, hairy man-like creature, about 3 m tall, crossing the road ahead of them. The 'manbeast' strode quickly into the roadside scrub.

Southern Swamplands-Sampit Java 1959

Four Orang Gadangs

In February 1959 a group of four hominids; a female with a young male and two 7-8ft [2.15m-2,45m] tall male Orang Gadangs were claimed seen by natives moving about in the southern swamplands near Sampit.

Hairy Giant

A "hairy giant", a male creature of 2.6m height and of strong muscular build, was seen by a farmer, as the manbeast fed upon the torn limbs of a water buffalo 'he' had just killed with a large wooden club, then begun cutting open with a large jagged stone knife. The farmer ran for help. By the time he returned with an armed group of men the manbeast had left the scene. All the men found were large footprints in mud and the remains of the butchered buffalo.
