Ozark Residents
Recall Legends
of ‘The Blue Man\
GIGANTIC FIGURE, COVERED
W.TH HAIR, FIRST SEEN IN
1865—CARRIED OFF GHEE3 AND
PIGS
AVA, Mo., Older residents or Doug
las county have repeated the true le
gend of “The Blue Man of Spring
Creek,” following reports of panthers
in the wilds of this county during the
past few weeks. It is a genuine
Gjzark legend.
It was in the winter of 1 So5 that
a noted hunter of this part of the
j Ozarks, by tpe,nawe of Sol Collins,
j was on the ridge that forms the
j watershed * between the Big :■ North
1 Fork and Spring Creek. There was
I a snow on the ground and Collins,
whose home was in St. Louis, was
I utilizing this to • trail the game
j with which ‘the' hills abounded,
suddenly among the many tracks'
with which he was familiar, he
came upon one such as he had
never seen before. There were
bears in the Ozarks in those days,
and the hunter had trailed and slain
may of them in his time. This track
looked somewhat like that of a bear,
but if it was made by a bear then
certainly here was the largest of the
tribe that ever roamed the Ozark
hills.. In the deep snow the great
footprints were longer and broader
than those of any bear Collins had
ever seen.
The hunter at once took up the
i trail, determined to kill the biggest
I bear in Ozark history. For hours
she kept on tirelessly, following
those great footprints. Far away
to the north, almost to Indian
Creek, then in a wide semi-circle
j to the west, until he tvas close above
j the Big North Fork. Still up hill
|and down, the seemingly endless
j chase continued.
At last, as he was climbing the
north slope of Upper Twin Moun
tain, he heard a noise on the hill
side above him, and, looking up,
was barely in time to leap to one
side and allow a great boulder to
sweep past him and crash into the
; depths of the valley. Another quick
ly followed the first and Collins was
J glad to spring out of the path and
j shelter himself behind a big post
: oak. As he did so, a third boulder
i struck fairly against the tree and
was hurled with such force that it
was shattered into fragments.
The startled hunter ventured to
peer cautiously from his shelter to
learn from whence this avalanch of
boulders came. That which he saw
fairly froze the blood in his veins,
for there, on the hillside, towered a
gigantic figure, shaped like an im
mense man, naked, except for the
skin of some animal around his
waist and other wrappings around his
j feet. The creature was covered from
head to foot with a tightly curling
coat of short black hair, which, as
the sun struck upon it, took on a
dark hue. Collins always claimed
that the giant was not less than nine
feet tall, and his estimate is among
the least of many made by other men
I in the years to follow.
The hunter stared only long enough
I to make these observations before
| the creature cast aside a great 10
. foot club he carried and tore out
I another boulder from the frozen
ground and hurled it with such dead
i ly aim that again the tree was struck
| and the rock shattered, and as he
hurled the rock the giant lifted up
his voice and made the hills echo
with an ear-splitting scream.
This was enough for Collins. He
was no coward and had creditably
born his part during the years of the
Civil War, but he never denied that
after that horrible scream, he took
to his heels and fled for his life.
The hunter made it liis business
to gather several of his neighbors,
sturdy hill men like himself, and
! for several days they put in most
| of their time following ‘ the tracks
of the giant. Time and again they
j caught glimpses of him at a dis
tance, going through the woods at
a speed that at once left his pur
suers far behind, but no man was
able to get within gunshot of the
creature. For two or three weeks
the hunt continued, almost every
day, without results. The wTild man
was seen by numbers of people, and
the occupants of more than one lone
ly cabin were awakened at dead of
; night by blood-curdling yells in the
dark woods, and when day dawned
they would find that sheep had been
carried away, or a pig stolen. The
hunters found bloody fragments of
the animals thus carred <Jff but the
giant himself never Was found.
After the first appearance of thd
“Blue Man” as he was now called,
he disappeared for nine years. Thert,
when most' people who had not seen
him, decided that the whole story
was a fake, in the autumn of 1874 the
word was passed through the hills
that the “Blue Man” had returned.
Again sheep and swine were caught
and devoured; again did men organ
ize and hunt through 'the hills in a
vain endeavor to capture or slay
the creature and again he escaped
them all, and after creating a reign
of terror for a 'week or two, dis
appeared as mysteriously as before.
