Los Angeles and southern California's annals of folklore are peppered by obscure manifestations which have no real reason or solution, except to confuse and scare, and if recorded, terrify many years after they originally occurred.
Take for instance the yarns pertaining to the Hairy Ghosts, said to haunt the woods of southern California as monstrous white apes. Sightings date back to the 1930s and spread as far as the Borrego Sink, but are such hulking phantoms merely albino bigfoot or something far more sinister and misunderstood ? It seems that such humanoids are always meant to exist and refuse to be categorised because they remain so vague as nightmares.
However, if such white-haired beings are relation to Bigfoot, then their territory will no doubt be vast across the country.
The Fire Boar is another local anomaly first mentioned in the 1950s when it allegedly haunted Sonoma County in a remote area littered with mine shafts. However, in general such a beast is said to patrol much of the outskirts of Los Angeles and although resembling a hairy, tusked creature it is rumoured to have the hands and feet of a human! The monster makes itself known by omitting a fiery smell, tempting travellers to its smokey lair before charging at them from the blaze.
Such a creature, was possibly created simply to keep people away from certain dangerous areas. However, maybe when people were warned, "If you go into the mines the Fire Boar will get you!", they simply laughed at such a myth...until the smoke filled their nostrils and orange glow warmed their cheeks.
