Overview

In 1895, residents of Colebrook and Winsted, Connecticut, reported sightings of a mysterious ""wildman"" roaming the woods of the northwest hills. Newspapers across New England seized on the story; reporters and hunting parties scoured the countryside, yet the creature was never found. Was it an escaped gorilla? A deranged hermit? A hoax born of local hysteria? Or something far older-a relict hominoid hiding in the backwoods of Connecticut? This book revisits the original 19th-century reports and eyewitness accounts to uncover what really happened during one of New England's strangest forgotten mysteries.
