Bigfoot Encounters

Vietnam's, Nguoi Rung
...a discussion list notation...

No specific location was given; told to Steve Williams on June 11, 1996...

"While at an army military police school, my brother in-law, Craig Miles of Boise, Idaho, met a Vietnam veteran that recalled a low altitude Special Forces drop in the interior during 1967-68.  It was the middle of the night; there were no villages for 15 miles."  

"For a period of three nights they heard choking and gurgling noises.  On the fourth day they found the upper half of a decomposing bigfoot-like creature.  It had been blown in half by something......not them.  This was apparently not the noise they had heard ...a mate possibly?  This was the speculation that was circulating."

"They could see into the body cavity...spine, lungs, and such.  All was crawling with bugs.  There was shorter hair on the huge head.  The eyes sunk back an inch and a half from the brow line.  It had long arms.  Very large and long fingers.  One hand was still wrapped around a branch."

"He didn't say what color it was, but did mention that it had a flat nose. If the creature had it's legs, the estimated height was around 8 ft tall...there was no sign of the lower half of the body.  They were able to see the teeth.   All flat, well formed molars, except the canines, which were longer and pointed. Seemed adapted to living in the forest with long arms and fingers, or perhaps just builds night nests like gorillas sometimes do." ...Sent in by Steve Williams...

Second notation from Nick Sucik, homin investigator...

"The matter of wild people or feral humans seems to be a reoccuring phenomenon in southeast Asia. Once while in the Marines I showed a Vietnamese colleague a reference in Mark Hall's hominid book to a term used for wildmen in Vietnam. He was surprised to see the word in print and explained that growing up in his village a wild man and woman were once captured from the jungle after they'd been stealing food (chickens, I think it was). Either they were killed or kept in cage prisons; something unfortunate in either case. They were people, he explained, and not something ape-like by any means. But they were very dirty and had long ragged hair and I think he said they couldn't talk. He seemed to suggest that while this was a rare occurence such incidents would be heard of from time to time."
