The Kalanoro
Kalanoro is a humanoid cryptid, which is believed to live on the island of Madagascar. Some say they are spirits of the forests. It is said to have lived on the island for 2000 years before the first human settlers.
They are described as small and hairy with fangs.Their legs are said to be backwards,
with backwards facing feet. Their eyes glow red. Thy have long hair and
fingernails looking unkempt. They are said eat raw meat, and make a whining sound as if
conversing.
Some tales show them to be malevolent
and stealing children or robbing people. Others show them as loyal to humans they
befriend.
In a 1964 , the author Bacil
Kirtley wrote that the Kalanoro were dwarfish creatures. He compared them to elves and trolls .He further said that they stole
food, replaced human children with their own children .However many of the Madagascar
people refute that description.
Professor Joe Hobbs studied the
local tribes in the Ankarana Special Reserve, Madagascar. On May 15, 2000 Hobbs
wrote that the people of the village of
Ambalakedi consider Andoboara Cave “sacred because on three
separate occasions, most recently just two years ago, grief-stricken parents
whose children had wandered into the forest had recovered them alive here”
after food was left out for the Kalanoro in exchange for their children’s
return.
So spirits or small hominids? The people of Ambalakedi
believe they are real and the finders of lost children. It could be the children
sought shelter in the caves and they were found when they came for the food
left . One can only speculate without definite evidence. Lots of people in
Europe believe in the little people so the tribes people are not alone in that
belief.
