Filipino Bigfoot with CLAWS Attacks Villagers | The Amomongo THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 46
from The Weekly Strange · host Jon F Merz
Tonight, we dive into the chilling story of the Amomongo, the terrifying cryptid known as the "Philippines Bigfoot" or "Philippine Gorilla." This creature isn't a shy, gentle giant; it's a documented threat with a gruesome preference for livestock entrails and a record of attacking people. Journey with me to the remote region of La Castellana at the base of the active Mount Kanlaon on Negros Island. I'll explore the creature's lore, its shocking description (a hairy white ape with long, sharp nails), and the intense fear it brought to the local community - especially when in 2008 it attacked two villagers Salvador Aguilar and Elias Galvez, who were left with serious scratches and injuries after direct confrontations with the creature. This is the incident that turned a local legend into a global cryptozoology mystery, prompting an official response from the town's mayor. What is the Amomongo? An undiscovered primate, a feral ape, or something much darker lurking in the Filipino jungle? Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, and Hit That Notification Bell!
