HAUNTED : The Orang Pendek of Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra | True Cryptid Encounters
Manage episode 495384038 series 3418971
In the dense jungles of Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, stories have circulated for generations about the Orang Pendek—a mysterious bipedal ape said to roam the forest floor. Witnesses from tribal hunters to Western researchers describe a 4–5-foot-tall creature, covered in dark hair, walking upright and feeding on roots, grubs, and forest fruits. Unlike spirits or shapeshifters of folklore, the Orang Pendek is treated locally as a real, flesh-and-blood animal. For over a century, footprints, sightings, and even hair samples have supported the idea of an undiscovered primate species hiding in this vast, unexplored rainforest.
