It seems as though nearly every area of the world has their legend of some wild man-beast who likes to terrorize the locals. There is Bigfoot of the Pacific Northwest, the abominable snowman of parts north, the Yeti of the Himalayas.
For some reason these creatures seem to prefer the cooler climates… perhaps because they are so hairy? I can’t imagine what a sweaty Yeti must smell like. It can’t be good.
Imagine if one of those creatures did prefer a little warmer weather though, and decided Connecticut was a good spot. Not too cold, not too hot, and you can go to the beach too, and scare small children. One of these man-beasts just might have decided that he liked the area and settled in Winsted.
The Winsted Wild Man made his first documented appearance in August of 1895, when the Winsted Herald reported that then Selectman Riley Smith, while traveling to Colebrook, stopped along the road to pick blueberries, accompanied by his bulldog. The dog became frightened of something, and ran to Smith, whining and cowering.

“Making big news in China this week is a story about Himalaya’s legendary Yeti or Bigfoot.
For centuries rumours of a half-man, half-ape that roams the upper Himalayas have circulated. The creature said to stand 3 metres tall has been allegedly seen by many locals as well as hikers visiting the area. In Chinese Yeti is often referred to as ‘Xueguai’.
A number of locals living near the Nepalese border claim not only to have seen the creature, but to have collected strands of its hair.”

“A HOLIDAYMAKER is believed to have captured footage of a YETI.
Piotr Kowalski, 27, filmed the “monstrous, hairy creature” while walking in Poland’s Tatra Mountains.
The figure ran into his view as he videoed a mountain goat in an area rich in rumours of a Yeti for centuries.
Mr Kowalski, on holiday from Warsaw, said: “I saw this huge ape-like form hiding behind the rocks. When I saw it, it was like being struck by a thunderbolt.”
