The Short Man of Sumatra: Kerinci Seblat National Park

Stories that make up the world’s collective rich history of legends and folklore are riddled with mysterious creatures. But what if one of these made-up beings jumped right off the page right into our very real world. And what if we looked into the face of that creature, only to discover it is more like us than we could have ever imagined? Today we venture to the island of Sumatra to discuss the Orang Pendek and its alleged last holdout deep within the forests of Kerinci Seblat National Park.
