Hairy Man of Vergas
Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 1st, 2012
The Hairy Man of Vergas, Minnesota is going to be featured on SyFy channel on the Haunted Highway’s debut event next Tuesday, July 3, starting at 9 p.m. (Central?) on the SyFy Channel.
A new article due to this program is stirring up folks; the following photos of a head have been published. For more on the Hairy Man of Vergas, see here.
Furthermore, here is a local woman giving her insights, putting it in the context of Bigfoot and wild human sightings…
Plus an op-ed piece explaining the situation as some hermit with “mental health” issues…
Thanks to PC.

The head is obviously artificial, and made by someone with very little or even no knowledge about anatomy. The teeth are also quite obviously no real teeth.
Exploiting a corpse without any real scientific, let alone law enforcement and medical review, makes me feel that this is a tasteless exploitation of most peoples general interest in cryptozoology.
I know a lot of people, even those who believe in Bigfoot as a non-human animal, find fault with the paranormal programs that attempt to present evidence. Here’s an example to support such skepticism.
The woman featured on the above video contradicted herself when she was taped as a witness for the Haunted Highway program with Jael from Fact or Faked. In the video posted on cryptomundo she said she was snow mobiling and a man with long hair, wearing a fur coat, came out of a cabin carrying an axe and chased her and her friend, who were on snow mobiles. However, in the Haunted Highway program, she said it came out of the woods, was carrying something she couldn’t make out, and was covered with long hair. No mention of a cabin, an axe, a human countenance, a fur coat, etc. The video posted here indicates she believed she saw a man, albeit a scary one, but the Haunted Highway scene implies she saw a non-human creature.
It’s not clear what’s up exactly. Did she deliberately lie? Was she coached by the show and encouraged to change her story for a more compelling angle? Were her comments edited to the point where they no longer represented her original unedited statement?
