Kalimantan, Borneo
1969

John McKinnon, who journeyed to Borneo to observe orangutans, came across some humanlike footprints. McKinnon asked his Malay boatman what made them. ""Without a moment's hesitation he replied Batutut," wrote McKinnon, "but when I asked him to describe the beast he said it was not an animal but a type of ghost... Batutut, he told me, is about four feet tall, walks upright like a man and has a long black mane... Like other spirits of the forest the creature is very shy of light and fire."
