A hairy, human-like creature known as a Yowie is believed to roam around Australia.
The Yowie is described as a “large, hairy, human-like entity” that roams Australia. The legend of the Yowie stems from Aboriginal tales that describe the beasts as “hairy men” lurking around different parts of Australia in the 1820s and 1830s.
Australia’s Woodenbong village in New South Wales was supposedly the site of an early Yowie sighting in 1928, when a man named Bob Mitchell supposedly spotted a hairy, gorilla-like monster that was about seven feet tall.
There were two other reported Yowie spottings in the 1970s in the same region, which has led to Woodenbong being dubbed the capital of Yowie country.
