Description

Travel back to 1884, when the province of British Columbia was abuzz with tales of a mysterious creature known as Jacko the Ape-Boy. Allegedly captured on the train tracks outside of Yale, Jacko was said to be half man and half beast, and some of the biggest names in cryptozoology and hominology have given their opinions on the Jacko story over the past 75 years. It’s a tantalizing mystery, but was Jacko ever real?
