Orang Pendek – Indonesia

Nearest city: Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra

For centuries, villagers in Sumatra’s highland forests have spoken of the Orang Pendek (“short person”), a small, bipedal, ape-like creature covered in dark hair. Western explorers and cryptozoologists have joined the search since the early 20th century, collecting casts of unusual human-like footprints and recording eyewitness accounts from farmers and rangers. Sightings continue into the 21st century, making it one of the world’s most persistent cryptid legends.
