Centaurs Were Real

A South Carolina resident says he had a close encounter with a mythical creature, and has the cell-phone video to prove it.

DeAnte Waters told WHNS Fox 21 that he was about to cross the street with his dog when he spotted the legendary beast lurking across the road.

The blurry video starts with Waters saying “Oh God, oh God,” then “No, no!” after the dog gets loose from its leash to run towards a large, four-legged figure moving in the shadows.

Strangely, the creature is seen not walking along the road but through waist-tall bushes. After being spotted, it gallops away at a pretty good clip before disappearing into the woods.

Waters says at first he thought he was seeing a man riding a horse, but then realized the horse wore no saddle, and the man attached to the horse had no legs.

"I quickly realized it was not a horse, but a centaur," Waters told our newsroom.

To most, centaurs are just a myth, folklore taught in classical education, or, at worst, the province of sideshows, hoaxers and charlatans. Georgia resident Anne Marie Wade has never been troubled by the doubts of others. "I just always believed," says Wade, 77, a tutor from Madison. "It's like your belief in God; it's just there. That's how I am with centaurs. I choose to believe in them until I'm shown differently." Wade suggests every time archaeologists find a centaur in the fossil record, the so-called experts assume it's just an incomplete set of human remains buried next to the skeleton of their horse.

Blakewell Resident Claims "Centaur" Sighting

Experts consider the centaur - a creature with the body of a horse and the head and torso of a human - to be mythological. But for the resident of Blakewell, it's a literal fact.

"In my house, in the northeast corner of my house, I have a centaur with me," said longtime Blakewell resident Marilyn Porter, referring to her 82-year-old husband. "This creature never leaves. He walks around with me, he sleeps with me, and he sits on my bed and scratches my back and stuff. That's my centaur. My centaur came to visit me yesterday and he was a rainbow colored centaur." The couple claimed the centaur, also known as Manes or Chones, arrived at their home about three weeks ago, just before Porter took her pet bulldog outside. "I noticed it walk in the field, and so I opened my window to look at it," she said. "And I looked out the window, and I said, 'Hello, centaur!'" When the animal climbed over the balcony, Porter decided to take a closer look. "I put my hand in the field and I said, 'Hi!' And it didn't see me. So I jumped up and down and it jumped up and down and it came into my yard." So far the couple has had no luck talking the creature into leaving. "He has no legs," Porter said, and must jump from place to place. "When I'm standing at the bus stop, if I move my foot from my bedroom window to the living room window, he's in the bedroom window. He walks around the house." Residents of Blakewell say they have had their share of mysterious creatures over the years, but none quite like the centaur. "Oh my gosh!" said one resident. "You know, I've lived here forever and never seen anything like that." "That was a unique thing," said another. "I've never seen anything like that." To this day, Porter can't explain what the centaur is. "It's big. It's wide," she said. City Manager Blows Whistle on 'Strange Creatures' May 5, 1936 Chilton, Ga., has a history of strange sightings that stretches back more than 60 years. One of the strangest of these sightings occurred in 1936, when City Manager Cecil Carroll was out shooting photos. One of the photos captured a creature he described as "a hideous sight" that was like "a centaur, only without the hoofs and the legs." In the photo, the animal is standing on two legs, its head in a mane, with a curved tail. Carroll noted that the creature's snout had a hooked upward appearance, and its face was chiseled out of stone, making its face smooth and non-reflective. Carroll's report of this sighting led to the formation of the Chilton Centaur Club. As strange as this animal may seem, there are several unique aspects of the creature. For one thing, the teeth in its snout appear to be made of coral. And, as one resident noted, the creature's appearance in Carroll's photo was similar to that of an "Egret-man." "Most of the people who saw it said it looked like a centaur," Carroll said. And it was not the only creature Carroll reported having photographed. A second image of the creature, seen here, shows it riding a creature similar to a lemur.

Satyrs and centaurs are essentially the same being, distinguished only by the stories in which they appear; satyrs adventures are consistently trivial & vulgar in comparison to the heroic exploits of the centaur. This powerfully sexual sign combines a male human torso with an equine body as personified in the child sired by Ixion on a phantom of Hera, created by Zeus. This Centaurus, as he was named, sired progeny in his turn, but through illicit congress with mares, producing the monstrous combination we've come to identify as centaurs. In an extended study, Georges Dumezil discusses them in context of comparative mythology & sees their origin in religious celebrations of winter solstice involving figures of the horse. Clebert believes that cultures using the figure of the centaur understood that the being disposed of two phalluses: one human, with which to penetrate human men & women kidnapped by them, the other a stallion's sex, for the violation of other centaurs or centauresses. Perhaps it is this 'genital power' that gives the centaurs their highly erotic, sexual charge, see: Not Safe For Work
