But how can so many different cultures spanning so many years have almost the exact same representation of him?

Apparently, the experience can prove to be lethal.

(Horror of the Wendigo) *** The Azores island chain in the Atlantic is said by sailors to be the site of strange and disturbing events. Some are so spooked by the waters surrounding these islands that they refuse to go there. (Vanishings Around the Azores) *** Is it true that Bigfoot has abducted humans and run off with them? There are numerous stories that seem to lay credence to the idea!
