In 1912 a duo of ragtag miners digging bat guano out of a cave near Lovelock, Nevada stumbled across an incredible discovery - ancient skulls and artifacts from a long gone race of red-headed giants. Local Paiute lore tells stories of the fury and cannibalism of the red-headed giants known as the Si-Te-Cah. The Paiutes fought many battles to destroy their horrific nemesis, eventually succeeding, but not before devastating losses. The Paiute quilted ceremonial garments from the bright red hair of the last giants in memory of the struggle. A local woman in Lovelock claims to have one of these ceremonial garments to this very day.
The 1912 discovery was hailed as proof that the ancient giants existed, but the skeletons were quickly hidden away “somewhere” and tragically lost. Despite the fact that the evidence no longer exists, many locals, including some Paiutes, still uphold the legend of the Si-Te-Cah. Kooky white supremacists have clenched onto the theory, hailing it is proof that the red headed giants were Vikings and were even perhaps the first colonizers of the continent. Someone recently wrote erotic fiction about a lusty miner girl getting taken away by the giants. You can buy it on Amazon for 99 cents. It’s really dirty and I don’t recommend it. Instead, google search the “Si-Te-Cah” and spend some time following conspiracy theory blogs down their endlessly delightful rabbit holes.
