[SPEAKER_04]: Lecturers leaving lessons for inquiring laymen.
[SPEAKER_04]: They are applying the scientific myth to a world that baffle signs.
[SPEAKER_04]: They are the cryptids of the core.
[SPEAKER_02]: Every day, you open your mouth.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm more convinced that you're a Dutch by aliens.

[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, mach, man.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, mach, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, everyone, I think we know exactly what it is.

[SPEAKER_00]: It was a sand bill crane.
[SPEAKER_02]: Would you try it?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you wouldn't need it.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, why?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because they're probably toxic.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, so yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not a joke, guys.
[SPEAKER_01]: Keep the fight to be.
[SPEAKER_02]: They literally are classifying people that speak up against them as terrorists.
[SPEAKER_02]: Look up.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're domestic terrorists.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then in the terrorism loss, there are, this is not political show again, but our government repealed the Smith-Munt Act, which gives you a right to a fair and speedy trial.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now, as long as they label you a terrorist because of the free or the 2001 or 2002 when they pass

[SPEAKER_01]: Patriot act.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what it was since they set that allowed us to be.
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyway, spied on and any and if you do commit any if you're labeled a terrorist, they're going to put in jail until indefinitely.

[SPEAKER_02]: Speak out, moving on.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Hibagong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hibagong.

[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like Hibagong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like the Japanese culture, like the Japanese people.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm against the wailing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Whale.
[SPEAKER_01]: For whale oil.
[SPEAKER_01]: That is any more.

[SPEAKER_01]: Hip-a-gong.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're pretty into Japanese stuff.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, some of the culture and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: What kind of crypto do you think a hip-a-gong is a creature?
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got a lot of Japanese stuff.
[SPEAKER_01]: You're kind of monkey.
[SPEAKER_02]: You are right.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why I'm thinking
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a gorilla, is it really not a monkey, but you were close.
[SPEAKER_02]: Close, prime eight.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, now wait wait, is this before we get, I guess I'll find out.
[SPEAKER_02]: Is this resembling a gorilla roughly?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I was going to say, is this like a folklore cryptid or is this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Why guess we'll find out?
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh-huh, do you want to make any guesses?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's hard with the yokines, tough like that because a lot of the yokines are just like in Japan's not that big, but maybe it's still possible.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're still remote areas, so, but it's not that big.
[SPEAKER_02]: But bigger than Rhode Island.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, everything's bigger than Rhode Island.
[SPEAKER_01]: Shoot.
[SPEAKER_01]: Our yard bigger than Rhode Island.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ah, no, okay, that's not true.
[SPEAKER_01]: But.
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... yeah i'm just but there's things that can't hide like the wolf the japanese wolf the giant earthworms uh... we've done episodes in the earthworms we've talked about the wolfs in the bear the very real capa that lives on the river systems there it's called the giant japanese island mander
[SPEAKER_01]: Or just a turtle man that has a mind reading powers.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what you're about to do.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm talking.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, you know him.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is cousin.
[SPEAKER_01]: Japanese cousin.
[SPEAKER_02]: That would.
[SPEAKER_02]: What would Japanese turtle man sound like?
[SPEAKER_02]: He wouldn't say ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye, ye,
[SPEAKER_02]: that he's told me and that that I'd be very well catching capital is we do have a day decent Japanese list people in the capital is out of the water like he I I I I he is the capital you're just said oh he is the capital okay I thought I just thought it was like earnings Japanese cousin made this crawls around rivers
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I don't know what's fun here now, like Japanese tournament being the Kappa or Japanese turtle man catching the Kappa, like there's snapping turtles.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, just the same thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's like all that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like, let me go kiss.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: The hip-a-gon is a Japanese crypt, resembling a large ape or a gorilla.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, it has varying descriptions of its appearance.
[SPEAKER_02]: Everything for black to brown to red hair.
[SPEAKER_02]: Really, really bristly hair.
[SPEAKER_02]: A weird thing of it is it has a very large head.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, like oversized, like an oversized head.
[SPEAKER_01]: What like big head mode on 007?
[SPEAKER_02]: Not quite big head mode, but like almost melanoid head.
[SPEAKER_02]: Japanese melanin.
[SPEAKER_02]: And they are said to have extremely intelligent eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Interesting.
[SPEAKER_02]: This creature is primarily associated with Mount Hibi in Hiroshima Prefecture.
[SPEAKER_02]: where it's been cited since the 1970s, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Signing describe it as a relatively small creature, around five feet tall, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: So it is sound like a big yet, a ring pin deck, which is from the mainland, right?
[SPEAKER_02]: It's often described as being extremely non-aggressive, like a ring pin deck, mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_01]: fleeing if at all possible from humans at the first sight, I've seen a video of an orang pin deck do that once the we hadn't in the live show yeah yeah the motorbikes yeah motorcycle or dirt bike yeah
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't know how I feel about that video.
[SPEAKER_01]: I do feel it's authentic.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it could be.
[SPEAKER_02]: We talked about, I mean, we did a whole life show on it, but they have a gone like I said, is normally red or brown or black in color, their typical big foot colors.
[SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes reported is having a patch of white fur on its chest in the ends of its arms.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is said to be extremely foul smelling.
[SPEAKER_02]: What, yummy.
[SPEAKER_02]: With a face covered in bristles.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the hair on its face supposed to be a lot stouter than the hair on the rest of its body, brishly like us, very human.
[SPEAKER_02]: A snub nose, glaring, extremely intelligent eyes.
[SPEAKER_02]: Its face is sometimes said to be long in somewhat protruding rather than flat like that of a human.
[SPEAKER_02]: So almost has more of a muzzle or snout.
[SPEAKER_01]: Interesting, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: And that head is often reported to be proportionally extra large.
[SPEAKER_02]: Shape somewhat like an inverted triangle.
[SPEAKER_02]: So the biggest part is the top.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's part is the top.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's mega mind as a monkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: So what do you think and so far before I keep going?
[SPEAKER_01]: The first thing I think of is, uh, well, the first thing I thought about why, but that picture, that swamp ape in a Florida off the ladies back portion.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know why I thought that immediately, but
[SPEAKER_02]: And that bigger ring of 10.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, whatever it was.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I really do think that that picture wasn't a ring of 10.
[SPEAKER_01]: Scary ring of 10 now.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying it wasn't.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, I'm a ring of 10 is cute and is you a big bull ring of 10 is cute and zoo, but one in the wild coming out of the shadows of Florida and sneak around oranges out of your basket.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you just have a picture and you're like, Oh,
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, that's a weird one ain't it because they get big.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, rings, I can get five, six hundred pounds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just that picture is just so like that's scary.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a super scary.
[SPEAKER_01]: They can be scary.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's the first thing I thought of whether the only and the most seen hunting with spears.
[SPEAKER_01]: That which is pretty cool around your tanks and the baby ones just look like a They look like little old men, you know, the baby you're hanging tanks like really young really old men Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_01]: I get it.
[SPEAKER_02]: See like there's like picture-bait like humans.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, there's like picture babies Right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's old men babies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, and then there's
[SPEAKER_02]: ugly babies.
[SPEAKER_02]: That just happens.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it's funny, though, how, because I had one picture baby into old men babies.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, when it was the picture, baby.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know someone then that they had, well, they had three kids in their same tank.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the third one came out.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I don't feel so horrible saying this, but you know, she looked a little different.
[SPEAKER_01]: They thought,
[SPEAKER_01]: something might be wrong with her, you know?
[SPEAKER_01]: Just because she just looked different, I guess.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think she falls into that cat and she fell into that category, you know, the ugly baby.
[SPEAKER_01]: But...
[SPEAKER_02]: Turns out, but then after like a year to sheep route and most of them after like a couple months super cute now and I every every new born in less of yours looks weird because they yeah they're swollen and everything like that because they don't have a body that's what it was to, but yeah, anyways, she's great very healthy to very, very healthy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, orangtics and then that also makes you think of orangtics because of the giant head.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, bull orangtics get the big of the big face flaps.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're kind of thinking on the same.
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, I was thinking of ringeting and the ringpendet kind of fits into that too.
[SPEAKER_02]: Where it's the running a ring of tang.
[SPEAKER_01]: See that is that ever witnessed very much.
[SPEAKER_01]: What running a ring tang?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, they can't run.
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't think so.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think they cannot truly run.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: I would say out of the great apes.
[SPEAKER_02]: uh... chimps but nobos and gorillas run on their hind legs on a rangatang there there are feet are much more they're much more aborial than the other great apes okay they live in the trees a lot more so they still have a gigantic toathum
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's the others do too.
[SPEAKER_02]: But there is as much more developed and it's harder for them to run.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I know I don't think they could truly run on two legs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: They could probably walk pretty briskly, but they actually get like a, probably faster than trees though.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I mean, on all four.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're definitely because they knuckle up like and just gallop.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, gotcha.
[SPEAKER_01]: Bear crawl, basically like we do.
[SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I could see that and it keep mind.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's about the right size.
[SPEAKER_02]: The hip-a-gon is smaller than North American counterpart.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and I picked this one because I wanted to do a big-foot thing for Wednesday.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is often said, like, if you just see hip-a-gon listen, it's Japanese big-foot, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Which, so far, it does not sound like Japanese big-foot to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: It just sounds like Japanese primate.
[SPEAKER_02]: It sounds like something else, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: It also has a little bit of a snout.
[SPEAKER_02]: And I don't know, just doesn't sound like a big-foot, but if you, a lot of places list this as Japanese big-foot, okay?
[SPEAKER_01]: which like we've said to Bigfoot's also an umbrella term.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it doesn't, that might be right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Tip again, being most commonly reported about five feet in height and estimated only to be about 180 pounds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, wow, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So I could take him.
[SPEAKER_02]: It no it's taller than you in heavier than you five foot.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is heavier, but I got the reach advantage.
[SPEAKER_01]: I could take him.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm a foot taller than it and I got about a hundred pounds on.
[SPEAKER_02]: I could take a hip-a-gong.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if I just get a good one good bite on it.
[SPEAKER_02]: To be fair though, like a bonobo is like 150 pounds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the super strong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Your arms often beat you to death with it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they're super strong.
[SPEAKER_01]: He's got one good bite.
[SPEAKER_01]: Really intimidate him.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, sinking in round this side of his face.
[SPEAKER_02]: You're a washer bonobo, eat a monkey.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, not not talking about minobo.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to fight that.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm talking about this hippie gong.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I'll fight him in many aspects.
[SPEAKER_02]: The hippie gong is much more ape like than any Sasquatch ever reported.
[SPEAKER_02]: It is often described as being much more grill like or even like a giant monkey.
[SPEAKER_02]: And though it is mostly often seen moving bipedally, there aren't many reports that tell the creature moving on all fours quite easily.
[SPEAKER_02]: So unlike a lot of the grade apes, which move on all fours, and then stand up bipedally occasionally.
[SPEAKER_02]: This thing moves on bipedally most the time, but has been seen to go down on all fours like a big foot.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: So that is just one distinction so far.
[SPEAKER_02]: Um, well, yeah, some of it, it's just even claimed the animal was hopping along like a large monkey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know what I'm talking about with the Gallup.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the, like the, I could, I could spend his in mandrels and like those kind of guys when they, Yeah, they kind of help with their gate.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like humans doing a bear crawl.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like if you know what that is.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's sometimes referred to have a report or no reported vocalizations at all, but others claim that they have heard dolphin-like sounds around a hip-a-gon exciting, interesting, like clicking, clicking whistling and stuff like that, which I mean, for a lot of, that makes me much more think of a given, the smallest of the true great apes, okay?
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, so I haven't been to know Gibbons.
[SPEAKER_02]: There's two.
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe there's two species of Gibbon right now.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, extremely long arms, long legs, four and great ape.
[SPEAKER_02]: They basically swing from like with their arms.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they have a lot of vocalizations.
[SPEAKER_02]: They do have a throat pouch.
[UNKNOWN]: Hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: But they're, they're very small for the great apes, which, like five foot 180 pounds.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, no way, smaller.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think like 40 pounds.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, they're that small.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Given, I mean, let me look up and get them really quick.
[SPEAKER_01]: Guys, gotta get the gold.
[SPEAKER_01]: It opens and black.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know where you're talking about then.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: I know to give it to me.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, with the ring of tanks and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because they swing and stuff like they go nuts and the ring and tank always tries to shake them off the rope.
[SPEAKER_01]: And say, they seem like they'd be pretty cool, but I wouldn't want to live with them out of all the great apes.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's be the one I'd pick to get trapped in a room with.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, yeah, because they can't like pull your head off.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, without a struggle, any other, or just like, yeah, any of the other ones would just grab it and pull or you're done.
[SPEAKER_02]: The most well-known series of sightings of the Hibagong was from 1974.
[SPEAKER_02]: So we have a flap.
[SPEAKER_02]: Ooh.
[SPEAKER_02]: What's a flap, Jensen?
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a short burst of sightings in an area, like, a short period time frame with multiple sightings is a flap.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, I'm, I'm not going to read any of these people's last names.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: Not to be confused with the flap on the back of my hand, hiding my matrix plug.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to read any of these last names.
[SPEAKER_01]: Are they Japanese?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: When we try one, no, I'm pretty good with Japanese.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I can, I can read Sumo wrestler names, and those are pretty tough sometimes.
[SPEAKER_02]: 1970 on July 9th, June G, an agricultural equipment salesman encountered a strange humanoid at a railroad crossing.
[SPEAKER_02]: At first glance, the strange man appeared to have the appearance of a wild animal's fur over his naked body with extremely protruding teeth and the unusual large eyes and a big nose.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Wouldn't have thought it was someone who lived in the mountains ashamed of their ugly appearance.
[SPEAKER_01]: Ooh, like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, they're wind.
[SPEAKER_01]: How was going to say, it's almost like that guy that got stranded was in Florida and started eating all the armoured Delos to the Vietnamese guy.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, the little pigs.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: That happened, but yeah, it is a sad ending, not good.
[SPEAKER_02]: This is thought, though, to be one of the earliest cases of a Hibagong.
[SPEAKER_02]: But the local tourism association does not include this case of Hibagong, because the characteristics are slightly different from those in many theories about them at the time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, at the time, but it does probably fit them now.
[SPEAKER_02]: I think it is a Hibigong.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Whatever Hibigong is, is, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: You literally thought it was some super ugly hairy naked dude wearing an animal for walking across railroad tracks, ashamed and hiding because he was ugly.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like a human squank, like a human squank.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hibigong's first reported sighting was experienced by Yoshi Mita.
[SPEAKER_02]: who was writing a light truck to go to work at 8 p.m. on July 20th.
[SPEAKER_02]: As he crossed, they wrote the Roko Rora River Bridge and came near the Roko Rora Dam.
[SPEAKER_02]: The creature the size of a calf and the calf the animal.
[SPEAKER_02]: Right, right, right.
[SPEAKER_02]: Pass in front of his light truck.
[SPEAKER_02]: It looked like a large monkey, but it was too big to be considered a normal monkey.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, Ben Rito, on the other hand, claimed that the first sighting of the Hibigong was made by a school children, or by a by school children.
[SPEAKER_02]: According to him, when July 20th, school children who went into the mountain to collect mushrooms saw a Hibigong emerge from the brush.
[SPEAKER_02]: Lorne Colman also attributes this to the first sighting of the Hibigong, nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so there I mean that's all July 20th first three was that 70s is said 1970.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, okay So who's first who knows Lauren Coleman through his research thinks it's the children that we're picking mushrooms in the mountain scene one first Yeah, at least documented sighting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah
[SPEAKER_02]: Several days later on July 23rd, year 23rd, 1970, the creature again appeared this time out of brush and lung grass in front of a surprised farmer.
[SPEAKER_02]: We described the Hibigang as being as tall as about the average man, covered in black for and having an awful grotesque face with piercingly intelligent eyes.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that they're saying intelligent eyes too, because it's
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know how I've seen that before you can tell yeah, you can when you look in your animals eyes Like you look into a cow and you can tell there's not much going on in there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not joking.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I know they're going to dog You can see there's a lot going on, but if you're looking to like but you can even look in different dogs and see different levels It's just like like some dogs you can just tell are very very intelligent just by their eyes It looks crazy like if you've been around a doll for anything like that when you look into their eyes You can just see it all oof What's the one that gets me though is the pigs at home
[SPEAKER_02]: You look in their eyes and just look like people don't it's really weird.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like even the eyelashes there And things like I got to stop looking at you.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, because they're now I feel bad.
[SPEAKER_02]: They're gonna go on a truck eventually.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, they look like a human It's totally not the name not the name food
[SPEAKER_01]: I know, their eyes are just, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: Pigs are special, I just put it that way.
[SPEAKER_02]: And tasty.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe that's why they're being, or not being, but people don't eat them.
[SPEAKER_01]: Certain cultures.
[SPEAKER_02]: The hip gun was also cited walking through a rice patty near the town of Sojo, around the same time.
[SPEAKER_02]: In December of that same year, strange tracks of alleged creature measuring 21 centimeters in length are found in the snow on Mount Heba.
[SPEAKER_02]: more tracks were being covered in the following years.
[SPEAKER_02]: With one of the longest trackways being about 300 meters, hmm, it's a pretty far.
[SPEAKER_02]: By this time the reports became well-known and well-publicized in the media.
[SPEAKER_02]: About the same time the rural residents in the area were growing increasingly uneasy about their strange, animal neighbor was being seen in the forest.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, I didn't continue in the area where I didn't became more and more uneasy, the country would now, as Soja sobera, actually set up a department to deal with the phenomena.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay, the local government's like, all right, we're setting up the task force.
[SPEAKER_02]: They should probably build like a begun task force.
[SPEAKER_01]: They should build like our, oh, right on that trail where their big sightings are being seen, like a little force forced to say, yeah, a forestry station right on the site where most of them are on the edge of a cliff.
[SPEAKER_02]: In addition to this department, documenting eyewitness accounts in trying to get the bottom of what's going on, the department also launched patrols into the area hoping to find whatever was causing their reports.
[SPEAKER_02]: Kobe University conducted an investigation in the area in 1972, trying to find physical evidence of the Hibagong, and the police managed to make plaster cast at a construction site of some tracks allegedly made by the creature.
[SPEAKER_02]: No evidence was turned up by the university, and the tracks were found to be inconclusive, and I cannot find these tracks, so don't ask for them.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: In 1974, one more such a sighting occurred on August 15, 1974, when a motor spotted a large blackish animal near the road on four legs.
[SPEAKER_02]: When the creature sends timber approaching, it reportedly stood up and walked along on two legs.
[SPEAKER_02]: The shock driver stopped the car and snapped a photo of the creature that was trying to hide itself behind a persimmon's tree.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nice, so Japanese persimmons.
[SPEAKER_02]: A little different.
[SPEAKER_02]: And you can find this picture.
[SPEAKER_02]: It doesn't look like much.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you have it there?
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's not in this.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: But it doesn't look like much.
[SPEAKER_02]: But a Japanese persimmons are, uh, asexual.
[SPEAKER_02]: Unlike the American persimmons.
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, nice.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why they're very rare here and they're all going over there.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were slowly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so American persimmons are actually gendered male and female.
[SPEAKER_02]: You need both, uh, which a lot of trees in North America.
[SPEAKER_02]: A lot of trees in the world aren't.
[SPEAKER_02]: They have both, uh, you know, both parts and they could even them a lot of those can't self fertilize.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but some can.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but persimmons are gendered where they are male and female.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: Uh, but Japanese persimmons are not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
[SPEAKER_02]: Other sightings in 1974 included a hippocone that was spotted crossing the road on June 20th.
[SPEAKER_02]: A driver described it moving along the series in hopping leaps.
[SPEAKER_02]: On July 15th, 1974, a woman saw one near her house and described it as very, very aplic.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like that of a gorilla but walking on two legs, it was about a meter and a half tall.
[SPEAKER_02]: Many tracks were also discovered in the year of 1974, including a series of prints on August 21st in the Mountain Valley.
[SPEAKER_02]: The footprints were 30 cm long, which is not large for a Sasquatch here in the States, put a strict, extremely large for alleged hebegongs.
[SPEAKER_02]: Gotcha.
[SPEAKER_02]: After the surge of eyewitness accounts of 1974, sightings of the hemagon dropped off almost completely.
[SPEAKER_02]: Hmm, maybe they went in hiding, or until 1980, when one was seen fleeing across the river into the bouncing gate near the town of Yamamoto, and that became known as the Yamagon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, a different name, huh?
[SPEAKER_02]: it was spotted in the same area again in 1981 near a road at the health center, but perhaps most remarkably cited again at the time of 1982 in Michigoo, which was located 30 kilometers west of Yakimoa.
[SPEAKER_02]: The cryptid witness there is called the Kimagong.
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's the same thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: Different names.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, they just kind of give it a little local twist every time.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just to add the gong on the end.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the HIPGON actually appeared in the Secret Saturdays TV series as the Blueford Grilla.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow, I love the secret Saturdays.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what that is.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a cartoon about cryptids, really?
[SPEAKER_01]: And the cartoon network never heard about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: They were protecting and hiding cryptids.
[SPEAKER_01]: Huh, I'd never even heard about that show.
[SPEAKER_02]: Global organizations.
[SPEAKER_02]: We've talked about, yes, you have, we talked about it.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I've never watched it.
[SPEAKER_02]: I believe that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's a great show.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I guess if we talked about it, I don't recall at all secret Saturdays.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I have to look it up.
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe we'll watch our episode for the patron.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, no, it's great.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it's a great series.
[SPEAKER_02]: Cool ending.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's what I have for the heebegon.
[SPEAKER_02]: I have some thoughts.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I want to hear yours first.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, I mean, like you said, I, I think it sounds like some kind of while primate apparently is what I was going for.
[SPEAKER_01]: It just sounds like that to me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we said, or like I said earlier, a lot of a
[SPEAKER_01]: the perception of Japan being an island so small you can't have hidden things there anymore but we've already covered examples for like the wolf and the giant earthworms and I'm sure there's other I mean bears and giant snakes and the Tanuki even to a certain extent That's what I was supposed to do for Frankie Vaughan Friday.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, the Tanuki.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, I'll have to put on back next week.
[SPEAKER_01]: There we go It was floating around in my subconscious.
[SPEAKER_01]: What was the others?
[SPEAKER_01]: The Suki Noko that's another one Suki Noko the big snake
[SPEAKER_01]: not big but yeah round round let's say big that way big this way not that way barrel shaped yes fat snake um
[SPEAKER_01]: But I, so I, if it is just a primate, yeah, I guess I'm not on the thing.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think it's big for that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think it's that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't, but does it not mean it's not a cryptid?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, so right now, the definition of cryptid.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's three.
[SPEAKER_02]: So you know the biggest monkey in there, the biggest eight, or sorry, primate.
[SPEAKER_01]: In Japan?
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_02]: The Japanese McCack.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, no, I didn't know that.
[SPEAKER_02]: It was not that big.
[SPEAKER_02]: No, it was a tiny tiny for monkey again, like 20 pounds.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for I guess big eight or something.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking they're they're small.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to be out.
[SPEAKER_02]: They can really hurt you.
[SPEAKER_01]: You scrub.
[SPEAKER_01]: We go right by the face.
[SPEAKER_02]: I was like, bite your fingers off.
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that's like breaker arm.
[SPEAKER_01]: There's their little scary.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've seen them in those videos where like they tourists they'll feed them I'll take food out of your hands or one of the youtubers I watch they went up there to the springs Oh, yeah, the snowy springs whatever.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and they're like cuz you can share them with the mechanics and They're like uh do not make eye contact with them do not make eye contact with them do not and they keep telling them Yeah, one of the dudes is like he looked at one.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, and it jumped at him
[SPEAKER_02]: out of nowhere and like cut up his legs and eat the people like everybody out everybody out in the all of the mechanics just start going nuts and bouncing and like god they'd a closer for a day catch because he looked at one yeah did you hear that story shack doing that with a gorilla yeah yeah oh yeah i think it was the Philadelphia zoo it's like that big i always comes up to him and like
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, he says all the grillers anytime he goes to zoos, the big the grillers will like come up there and just stare at him, you know, they'll do it sources stuff probably the biggest human they've ever seen.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, someone in one of his teammates said like, yeah, they're mad because they're like, how did he get out?
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's laughing, but he said that he would get out.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's why they're probably mad.
[SPEAKER_01]: And he said, so they went to the Philadelphia Zoo and they got out like a private tour.
[SPEAKER_01]: And basically the guys working there said like whatever you do,
[SPEAKER_01]: do not make eye contact with any of the girls.
[SPEAKER_01]: Nobody.
[SPEAKER_01]: Just don't make eye contact with them because they will freak out and they'll go crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: So and they said this one in Philadelphia, they had an Albino like nine foot tall silver back gorilla and he's uh so Shaq said they were walking through and Shaq looked over at him and he just stared at him just to see And he made eye contact him and he said that eight went nuts and came over to the glass start like pounding on it like hard and The guy I was with him telling the story said that's the one thing he's ever seen Shaq like look scared because he said Shaq was like
[SPEAKER_01]: Whoa, like scared and he turned and said the guy man.
[SPEAKER_01]: They do he was right.
[SPEAKER_01]: They do go nuts Like yeah, but that he's like yeah, I'll never do that again.
[SPEAKER_01]: He said but they do they do not like it He said it stood up.
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like he's shack said it was like nine foot tall staring down at me and just going nuts Like he's like I thought that glass was going to break and he was gonna he would have got me, but he was gonna get me
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, yeah, just because he looked at him.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's because they were in their private area.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, no, they're home.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, their home base.
[SPEAKER_01]: So now you got this other silver back mouth a mail staring you down.
[SPEAKER_02]: And yeah, back to the hip-a-gon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Right, hip-a-gon.
[SPEAKER_02]: What do you think?
[SPEAKER_02]: So you think it was, um, an ape?
[SPEAKER_02]: A primate.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, there's some kind of, I don't know exactly.
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm not.
[SPEAKER_02]: Do you think, uh, so do you think it's a natural Japanese creature that is rare?
[SPEAKER_02]: Or here's I guess where I'm getting out is the sightings really there's no folklore for it right previously 1970 so yeah You're saying is it something naturally occurring or was it a cryptid that had been encrypted because it was dropped there left there I think that I'm gonna say Because it's black color.
[SPEAKER_02]: Mm-hmm.
[SPEAKER_02]: It may have been a released
[SPEAKER_02]: that had survived out there for a couple years because the climate was semi suitable yeah uh... and just everyone's another sightings of it um... it's just one one or couple like i don't think there's a population of my think they died yeah uh... i don't think they i mean i think four years there in that town in the mountains because it's the town is small and it has like jungle mountains around it
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: So there's plenty of places for them not to run into people.
[SPEAKER_02]: And the, you know, just every once in a while, seeing them.
[SPEAKER_02]: The tracks are funky.
[SPEAKER_02]: The one picture looks like a gorilla.
[SPEAKER_02]: And there is even another, we had it on another episode with the Japanese driver, almost hitting what looked like a gorilla.
[SPEAKER_02]: Because of it, with his dash cam, like got a picture of it.
[SPEAKER_02]: Whether it's a private collection or a bazoo, how do one get out or whatever or you know, poaching Japan has is really big in the illegal pet trade just like the U.S. is.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know I know that for a fact that there is Japan, China and the U.S. are probably like people like ship like what both in over there.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh, yeah, but that was, that's illegal, but like illegally, though.
[SPEAKER_02]: I know Japan, the US, China, and then the Middle East are probably the big four-ish areas for illegal pet trade.
[SPEAKER_02]: That's the third largest, the third largest illegal business in the world.
[SPEAKER_02]: So, it's kind of where I fall back on is that it's very, very chimp and gorilla-like.
[SPEAKER_02]: It had a very short run, and there's no Japanese folklore before.
[SPEAKER_02]: There are other Japanese bra- like, gorilla-like things.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like, or I guess big-foot-like things in other places, they have long histories.
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, this was just four years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Now's it?
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I would definitely think of it's something like that, a scapey, an out-of-place animal, aka, a cryptid.
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it could even be like a baboon or a mandrel or something like that.
[SPEAKER_02]: Like the Zainesville dog man, yeah, which is just a baboon probably.
[SPEAKER_02]: I've seen the picture.
[SPEAKER_02]: The trail camera picture is a baboon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, let's go getting.
[SPEAKER_01]: No.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's organized a hunt.
[SPEAKER_01]: There are, there's a whole big list of animals I'd rather be in the woods with than a baboon.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's, we got a go, including a mountain lion.
[SPEAKER_01]: We got to go to Africa, higher that tribe, you can hang out with and do a baboon hunt with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: You see that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's wild.
[SPEAKER_01]: If anyone hadn't seen that, it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: They strap cameras onto their dogs so you can like, it's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: But while higher them bring them back here, they'll find that baboon, but they will, they will, no getting, they'll probably eat them.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they eat their brains, they made like monkey, they made like baboon, I don't know, the documentary I watch, it was very fascinating, but different lifestyles, but you know, that's just survival here on earth.
[SPEAKER_02]: All right, well, I've been the great and powerful mystery.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I've been Jake Loan 89.
