Skeptics always ask the same two questions: why haven't we ever captured one, and why don't we have a body? The uncomfortable answer is that we have — more than once. The bodies just never seem to stick around.
In this episode: a frozen, human-like figure exhibited in a carnival trailer for 35 cents — until a Belgian scientist formally classified it as human, the Smithsonian drafted a letter to J. Edgar Hoover, and the body quietly vanished. An 1884 newspaper reports that a railroad crew captured a small ape-like creature outside Yale, British Columbia, and locked it in the town jail — a cell a crowd of 200 later found empty. A veteran zoologist in southern Mexico keeps a snarling, unidentifiable predator caged in his living room, then realizes its strangest feature was carved into ancient stone centuries before it was born. And in 1885, something in San Francisco Bay lifted a rowboat clean out of the water — two men knocked it out with oars, six men hauled the carcass onto Larkin Street for public display, and by the next day it was simply gone.
Four captures. Four bodies. Nothing left behind but the accounts of the people who touched them. I don't make these stories up — I just bring you the cases as I find them. What really happened? That's up to you.
