Abnormal Skeletons
Human skulls with horns were discovered in a burial mound at Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in the 1880's. Horny projections extended two inches above the eye-brows, and the skeletons were seven feet tall, but other than that were anatomically normal. It was estimated they were buried around AD 1200. Some of the bones were sent to the American Investigating Museum in Philadelphia, where they seem to have disappeared.
In 1837, a number of tiny human skeletons from 3 to 4 1/2 feet tall were found buried in tiny wooden coffins near Coshocton, Ohio. There were no artifacts found, but the number of graves led one observer to note that they "must have been tennents of a considerable city."
Seven skeletons were found in a burial mound near Clearwater Minnesota, in 1888. They had double rows of teeth in the upper and lower jaws and had been buried in a sitting position, facing the lake. The foreheads were unusually low and sloping, with prominent brows.
In 1911, miners began digging guano from a cave 22 miles southwest of Lovelock, Nevada. Soon, a mummy was found, a 6 1/2. foot tall person with "distinctly red" hair. According to the ancient legends of the local Paiute Indians, a tribe of red-haired giants, the Si-te-cahs, were once the mortal enemy of the indians in the area, who had joined forces to drive the redheads out. Measuring the femurs of some of the skeletons recovered, researches decided that they belonged to people between 6 and 10 feet tall. Others, however, have stated that the tallest is no more than 5'11, which is still considerable height for the time and place, but hardly a giant. Also, they point out, taking a black-haired mummy from a dark cave often causes the hair to turn red. It is unclear if this happened in Lovelock or not.
When digging marble from the quarry at Oreston, England, in the 19th century, a startling discovery was made. This marble is finely grained and quite pure. The only defect is that here and there wide seams of clay wandered through the 400-million year old stone, sometimes giving way to partially-filled caverns. In one of the caverns, the fossil bones of three rhinoceroses was found, which were common in the area 65 million to 2 million years ago. The cave was 15 feet wide, 45 feet long, and lay 70 feet down. There were no stalactites, no stalagmites, and no indication that there had ever been an opening in the rock, and no indication on how the Rhino's got there.
Several human skulls with horns protruding from them were discovered in a burial mound at Sayre, Bradford County, Pennsylvania, in the 1880's.
With the exception of the bony projections located about two inches above the eyebrows, the men whom these skeletons belonged to were anatomically normal, though at seven feet tall they were giants. It was estimated that the bodies had been buried around A.D. 1200.
The find was made by a reputable group of antiquarians, including the Pennsylvania state historian and dignitary of the Presbyterian Church (Dr. G.P. Donehoo) and two professors, A.B. Skinner, of the American Investigating Museum, and W.K.Morehead, of Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts.
The bones were sent to the American Investigating Museum in Philadelphia, where like so many finds that question anthropology, they were stolen and never seen again.

Those last three words make me skeptical! But the giant size of the skeletons is not a myth! Many Amerindian skeletons have been found across both North and South America that size! One such was housed in Cottonlandia Museum in Greenwood Mississippi for years! The Choctaw have a myth of migrating from a "hot land" in the west to what is now Mississippi and Alabama but had to fight some "tall" warriors on the eastern side of a great river. They eventually overcame these warriors and crossed the river! Now they were enemies of the Osage, who were known for their rather tall stature! Also the Yazoo were said to be tall, some near seven feet or more! Other tribes have the myth of extremely tall people they had to fight and overcome, the Delaware have that myth also. But the horned thing just ain't there, that I know of anywhere. Maybe, they could've performed a trepanning type of operation to make them fierce looking like a man/buffalo or man/deer or something along those lines! Who knows for sure! The late 1800s is rife with "yellow" journalism too, sort of like The Weekly World News stories today! Then, too, there's the story that Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, found two "gold" tablets that he "lost" after deciphering the script on them! Like Judge Judy says, if it doesn't jibe, it probably isn't the truth!

The descendants of Lilith? Since they were never seen again, I guess we'll never know. If you ever come across them in person, poor some blood over the remains of the smallest and see if it comes back to life.(If it does, run:) You can read aobut Lilith here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith

You know it just occured to me, and I don't know just thinkin' off the top of my head here. They could have been human at one point then they probably became more evil 'til they eventually had found a way to the devil or any sort of devil. Eventually they became so evil and by that, they became like really close to the devil that they have become sort of like his aids or minions or something.
I don't know, but this could happen.
