Jungle Girl Flees to her "Wild Man" - Sunday Mail

Hi All

I just read this quite interesting article in the Sunday Mail (07 October 2007 page 46) about a young girl now 28 years of age, has lived in the Cambodian Jungle for 18 years (since she was 10). And, for most of that time she has probably lived with a "Wild Man" who was describes as being naked ape like man. She has now escaped her village, presumed to have gone back into the jungle looking for her “Wild Man”. Now isn't that interesting.

Sounds like a great place to conduct an exploration and what a great basis for a movie.

What do you reckon Deano.

i just find it hard to take all the info we find on the net and in news as truth. i do not believe these stories, simply because the facts are from one language to another, then to a journalist, then embelished for the editor, and so on....
just hard to believe all the c**p i am fed from media

Wow.....a sword. A club maybe? A stick that had been misidentified as the witness turned to run? Hillbilly's right, the garbage that the media comes up with is sometimes insulting and there may have been some information altered in translation.

However, I don't believe there is a question of whether or not the girl had a companion, it would be safe to say she did. I don't think she could have survived in the jungle all that time if she was alone, although it's not impossible.

But was he an ape-man, or just a man? I'm sure this is not the only case in Cambodia where someone has gone bush and not come back. Maybe some bloke in another village got sick of his wife cooking the same grool every night......and decided he'd rather live alone and eat bugs and roots. There's probably more feral humans out there than anyone expects.

Then again, I bet there is a lot of uncharted jungle around the area in which they lived. The perfect environment for an apeman to live in undetected.....Until now.
