ARCHIVE SUMMARY

Encounter-style records describe an unidentified, human-shaped and heavily haired figure, sometimes compared with a Yahoo, Australian ape, or Australian gorilla and encountered in bush or rural settings. Similar printed wording in culturally specific sources remains source-bound rather than being collapsed into one tradition. The accepted archive contains 6 records from 1977–2024. The largest coded regional group is New South Wales (1), and the largest source group is Internet Archive (3). These distributions describe archive coverage, not real-world incidence.
