The Wild Boy of Kentucky: The Amazing SasquatchStory of MichaelThomas Case
I met Michael Thomas Case in a comment thread where he shared some incredible snippets of a story from his youth. A story in which he nourished a years long friendship with a Wild Boy, or Sasquatch, in the hills and hollows of Southeastern Kentucky. Thomas was terminally ill and had been placed in hospice hi care. Shortly after I befriended him, he posted on his Facebook profile that he was looking for someone to edit his story for him. At the time, I was unaware of the depth of his condition and I asked him to do a "Sasquatch Encounters with Ed Brown" interview for my YouTube channel. He agreed to do it once his voice was better. Then it was a month and a half before I heard from him again. This time what I received was an apology for not being able to talk, and this incredible story which was relayed to me via messenger. The apology, of course, was absolutely not needed. I'm so honored to have the opportunity to bring you this amazing story. Thomas claimed that every word of it was true. My last contact was through his sister on his messenger and she said that he would dictate the rest of the story and draw a couple illustrations and she would get them to me. That was the last time I heard from Michael or anyone from his family. I posted the edited story on his timeline a couple days later and never got a response. I tried to tell this story in his exact words and details, as much as possible through the edit. Michael was a true Southern Gentleman with an infectious country charm. I truly hope that I captured that charm and didn’t anesthetize it through the edit. Keep in mind the circumstances surrounding his telling of this account as he literally lay on his death bed. Once again, thank you Michael Thomas Case for giving me the opportunity to tell your incredible story. - Dan Lindholm
