0:00.0 | I appreciate you for inviting me back for a part two from last week's episode and I'm honored by it. |
0:10.0 | But we left off talking about feral people and I can say that the idea of feral people, |
0:17.0 | especially in the Appalachian Mountains and foothills, is nothing new by no means. |
0:23.1 | The idea of wild men in the woods goes all the way back to the Cherokee and other Native American tribes. |
0:31.3 | And some of the well-known cases of disappearances within the Appalachian Mountains in the minds of some people, |
0:38.7 | and some evidence suggest that those disappearances could be tied to feral people, |
0:44.4 | the most famous case being the very tragic case of the little boy named Dennis Martin, |
0:50.5 | who in 1969 disappeared up in the Great Smoky Mountains, never to be seen again, no trace was found of him. |
0:59.1 | There are stories among the mountain people that tend to credit that to feral people as opposed to just some criminal person kidnapping a child or Bigfoot |

1:45.1 | And we can't verify that one way or the other unless a witness from the Green Beret steps forward and verifies it or perhaps one of the local people, if they're still alive, step forward to say, yeah, here's what we saw, here's what we did. So who knows, but, again, |
2:03.9 | the idea of feral people living wild in pockets of the Appalachian Mountain and the mountains |
2:09.2 | and foothills is nothing by no means new. And from everything that I've gathered with feral |
2:17.3 | people, it's my theory, and I feel like I could defend it, that the people living wild in these areas now, didn't just a couple of years ago decide to walk away from society and take up residence in the deep wilderness. |
2:34.0 | I believe that this is the product of several generations. |
