The Lore

Old Yellow Top is a large, hairy humanoid reported in the Cobalt, Ontario area since at least 1906. It is distinguished from standard Bigfoot reports by the consistent description of a light-colored or blonde patch of hair on its head, contrasting with its dark body fur. Miners, bus drivers, and local residents have reported encounters spanning over a century. In 1970, a group of miners near Cobalt claimed to see a large dark figure with a yellowish head crest watching them from a ridge. The creature remains one of Canada's most specific and persistent Bigfoot variants.
