ON THIS DAY IN WEIRD

On This Day in Weird, April 24...

2008: Theatrical premiere of The Wild Man of the Navidad, a Bigfoot film purportedly based on the real-life journals of Dale S. Rogers, a man who, in the 1970s, lived along the banks of the Navidad River in Sublime, Texas. Storied of the bipedal creature date back to the 19th century, while this film dramatizes "true events" to the point of standard Hollywood horror/fantasy.
