Hello from the Top End

[Bear]

Hi All, my first post here. I have been interested in Yowies since a young child. I have no Yowie experiences but find it all very interesting. I listened to all the audio reports and recently asked an older Aboriginal man about the hairy folk. He is a very interesting man in that he successfully stradles both Aboriginal and Western cultures. I asked him about Yowies and this is what he told me.

Be very respectful when entering the bush. The hairy folk are there and watching. If they start throwing rocks or cause a commotion leave immediately. Don't run just leave straight away. If they dont want you to see them they have the ability to cloak themselves. When he is out hunting they will always leave some meat behind for the hairy folk. It keeps them busy and is good respectful practice. Always make sure you are getting home before dark.

He has the "big ones" in his area of Arnhem Land. He has never seen one but said you can feel them at times. That feeling of being watched. He told me the Tiwi Islands are home to the little ones.

Back in the early 1970's as a kid he and his mates use to play in the bushland around Fannie Bay in Darwin. There is a close by Aboriginal camp/ settlement. Still there today. He told me the old people use to tell them to be careful as there was a hairy man in that bush. He said they use to hear something crashing through the mangroves but never saw anything. That is when I told him of the AYR report of a lady seeing a hairy man in Fannie Bay in 1978. Incredible to think something like that so close to suburbia.

The Aboriginal people have a lot of tales to tell but remain pretty quiet about it. Silly us for not listening.

Hey Bear

Welcome to the forums,

Yes plenty to learn from the Indigenous tribes (those that want to talk about it) not only from here but around the world.

If they dont want you to see them they have the ability to cloak themselves.

This one vexes me. This comes up repeatedly and is mentioned by many credible researchers. But man it is hard to wrap my head around it and accept it.
The paranormal aspect of these things... i wish it would go away. It would make this topic much easier to study.

I think there are other dimensions (for want of a better way to put it) to reality. Even though our mainstream narative tries very hard to deny/ridicule it.

Hi Thumper, Taking away the overwhelming paranormal aspect would not make this topic easier because you would be left with basically very little to study.
