Henri Van Heerdan’s Terrifying Encounter

In the intriguing realm of cryptids, the Santu Sakai of Malaysia has garnered attention, particularly due to the harrowing account of Henri Van Heerdan’s encounter in 1967. As detailed in the book “THE ABOMINABLE SNOWMEN” by Eric Normand, Van Heerdan’s experience near Kuala Lumpur paints a vivid picture of these creatures. The Santu Sakai, or ‘Mouth Men’, are described as half-human, half-animal beings with large fangs, known for their ferocity.

According to Van Heerdan’s account, he was hunting in the forests outside Kuala Lumpur when he suddenly found himself being pursued by two massive, shaggy creatures, which he described as “monstrosities.” In a desperate bid for survival, he managed to escape to his vehicle, but not before one of the creatures managed to wrench his shotgun from his hands. The following day, when he returned to the scene with friends, they found inhuman tracks and blood splatters, but his shotgun was nowhere to be found. This encounter, while terrifying, adds a layer of mystique and potential credibility to the existence of the Santu Sakai.

For further reading and insight into this encounter and the Santu Sakai, the book “The Werewolf Book: The Encyclopedia of Shape-Shifting Beings, Second Edition” by Brad Steiger offers an extensive exploration of shape-shifting beings and similar legends.
