Watch: Crikey! It's a Yowie Epidemic!

When it comes to bigfoot creatures, their Australian cousin the Yowie seems to be a dangerous bloke! A lot of reported Yowie sightings involve some sort of chase or attack. One hotbed of activity seems to be around the Woodenbong (be mindful of splinters) area of New South Wales. In the early 1990's they even did a news report on these alleged sightings.

"In the summer of the next year, at 2.30 a.m, a woman was woken up to the sound of her dog crying. When she wondered outside to investigate, she found a big hairy beast standing on the lawn, holding her small dog with its huge hands. The unknown animal was apparently trying to crush the pet. “The yelping was mixed in with high pitched screaming sound which could not have been made by the dog. At first I thought a dog might have been killing my Siamese cat.” “I jumped out of bed and race out onto the back verandah where I switched on the light. As the light was fitted with a strong 200 watt bulb it threw a good glow into the backyard,” she said. “It was sitting on its haunches and had my dog crushed up against its chest. The dog was almost completely covered by the creature’s arms which were wrapped around the dog, one above the other. It looked as though the creature was trying to crush the life out of her.” Reportedly, the intruder was surprised by the homeowner and dropped the dog. “The creature then held its arms away from its body and slowly stood up. It then backed away from me towards the grape trellis, but it never took its eyes off me. It backed away to the left side of the post and wrapped its right arm around the trellis post. The creature stayed there for a few moments making these strange, deep grunting noises. The noises were very loud.”
