In Episode 467, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger explore the woods of Stonington, Connecticut, searching for an ape man first spotted here in 1926. Thought to be maybe the missing link, this wild man was said to be terrorizing a local farm. The reports were frequent enough that the game warden got involved, search parties were formed, rifles were loaded, and the community came together to solve the mystery.

Great that the Stonington case had a game warden and organized search parties. A 1926 “wild man” scare taken that seriously says a lot about how real it felt to the town. It’s a nice contrast with another New England creature case that got almost no official follow-up: the 1977 Dover Demon, where three teenagers reported the same small, big-headed figure over two nights. We put together a short summary of the reports and the hoax and animal explanations here: https://paranormaldepartment.com/dover-demon-dover-ma/
