Lipscomb
The Lipscomb, also known as the Iha [EE-hah], were a Native American tribe in the area that is now known as Melbourne, Florida. The first proven record of the Lipscomb dates back to the early 18th century, found was a letter written by one of the tribe's first leaders, Ahada Ną Huje, addressing their claim to the Iha swamp. Although there are many theories as to how they disappeared, It is entirely unknown to the world how these amazing people completely vanished and avoided history books.

The truly amazing quality of the Lipscomb, however, was the unique genetic trait they possessed. In all depictions of Lipscomb people that have been discovered, they appear to possess hair or fur on their upper and lower lips. The idea of this trait has been further backed by the immense importance of hair in Iha culture, with combs and other primitive grooming supplies being a sign of power amongst their people.

The Lipscomb had only one known village which was believed to be called the Hąwe Gu. It was located in Melbourne, Florida and it definitely had at least three huts in it as well as one small farm.

There are few who live in and around the area the Lipscomb once called home who claim to have Lipscomb blood in them but they regularly have little to no proof to back this. One person, Daniel Gavian, even went as far as to stitch fur onto his lips to prove he was one of them but when his hoax was discovered many researchers came to loathe him.

Lipscomb Ghost Sightings
In the small area the Lipscomb lived in, many people have claimed to have seen ghosts or figures in the mist. The most believed sighting was witnessed by Stephen Armenia in 2006. Stephen was a homeless man who fell asleep on a field that was once the home of Hąwe Gu. He woke up in the middle of the night to be surrounded by men with Iha lips. They gave him water, food, and a small piece of fabric, all of which he took. Once he was nourished he looked up to thank them once again but they were no where to be found. The next day he told others of what he had witnessed and presented the fabric to them. One person challenged him to get the fabric tested. Stephen agreed and it was found that the fabric was from the 1730s, adding heavy backing to his story.
