From the August 3, 1838, edition of the Baltimore (MD) Sun. Versions of this story can be found in The Bigfoot Casebook by Janet and Colin Bord; Bigfoot in New York and New England by Paul and Robert Bartholomew (even though the encounter was in Pennsylvania!), and Bigfoot in Pennsylvania by Timothy Renner.

This same news article was printed in the Mount Carmel Item (Mount Carmel, PA) on October 5, 1935. I'm not adding the clip as it is identical, but I find it counter-intuitive that such stories would get such widespread distribution in smaller newspapers so long ago.

My apologies, the above newspaper article appeared in The Scranton Republic, not in a newspaper from Indiana County, PA. The day after the above article ran, a Wilkes-Barre paper, The Times Leader, ran a slightly longer version - or, since this was one of my early efforts at clipping old news articles, I clipped the Scranton one short....

Maybe Elon can explain it better. Don't ask why would they come here. Ask how long would it take for an advanced species to visit every solar system in the galaxy and possibly others close by. Also Google Von Neumann Probe.

Since deep space travel for physical/biological entities would require time travel, this is a very valid possibility.

^^^ Life could very well be out there. Even if there is advanced life, why would our galaxy and esp our very solar system been interesting to them? Out of all the grains of sand on the beach, what is so unique about our one grain of sand out of the Gazillions. We are to believe there is life all over the universe. If such life is out there looking AND such life is all over the universe then it seems there are other more interesting planets competing with Earth. Say there are 100,000,000,000,000 earths out there. Wouldn't we have to take out an ad in Alien Visitor Magazine to get their attention? I guess I call it the "Needle in the haystack" reasoning. Still, I keep an open mind about it. Chuck Noland: That's a search area of 500,000 square miles. That's twice the size of Texas. They may never find us. Remember this Pale Blue Dot is just a pic from Voyager looking back at Earth while STILL in our own solar system.

From a newspaper in Indiana County, Pennsylvania; likely an AP or UPI story.

Front page news from The Merrill Star-Advocate, in Merrill, Wisconsin, on April 4, 1883. To close to April 1st for my liking! Sorry for the size disparity, but in Newspapers.com if you clip a big article, it gets shrunk down; if you clip a small section, the result is huge. I'll be mindful of that in future posts.

From the Grant County Herald, August 10, 1899; originally located by Tirademan in 2004.

This forum highlights additional or lost historical newspaper articles about Bigfoot, Sasquatch, wild men, wild women, and other hairy bipedal beasts. Former Bigfoot Forums member Tirademan (Scott McClean, RIP) originally posted his collection of newspaper articles in the Bigfoot Forums 1.0 Media - News & Magazine Articles subforum, which is archived at https://bigfootforums.com/topic/15747-amazing-historical-archives-found/. The newspaper articles referenced in that thread are generally no longer visible, except for those saved by Gigantor in Tirademan’s Historical Newspaper Archives at https://bigfootforums.com/forum/130-tirademans-historical-newspaper-archives/. Other newspaper articles which Tirademan posted are scattered, and buried, throughout different threads in the forums. This forum is an effort to consolidate and add to Tirademan’s prior work, thus providing additional reference material for members of the Bigfoot Forums. To that end, * Historical newspaper articles already included Tirademan’s Historical Newspaper Archives will not be duplicated here. * Historical newspaper articles that can reasonably be identified as having been posted in Bigfoot Forums 1.0 Media - News & Magazine Articles will be labeled as Tirademan’s articles. * If historical newspaper articles are referenced in published books (e.g., Bigfoot in New York and New England; The Bigfoot Casebook), that book will be noted if I’m aware of the book. * Every single historical newspaper article about a single incident may not be published. Some incidents, like the great Doerr Terrace gorilla hunt, generated tremendous coverage throughout a single state or wider; many newspaper articles are merely shortened versions of an original article. Other articles are so short and vague as to be worthless as traditionary evidence. * This forum will be tightly controlled. If you know of historical newspaper articles which might exist, or which were buried in other threads, feel free to send me a message or to list the request under this post. Researchers who are interested in finding historical news reports can use https://www.newspapers.com/ or http://www.newspaperarchive.com/, both of which may require a subscription.

What really happened that night on Glastenbury Mountain — when something large walked between two tents in the dead of night… and vanished without a trace? In this gripping episode of Bigfoot Society, we sit down with Dave, a retired police detective and lifelong hunter from southern Vermont. Dave shares his chilling encounter from the late 1980s, when he and his brother camped deep in the infamous Bennington Triangle — a region haunted by legends of disappearances, strange lights, and Bigfoot sightings. What they felt walk through their camp changed how they saw the wilderness forever. But it doesn’t stop there. Years later, in a remote Adirondack hunting cabin, something strange happened again — screens ripped open 11 feet high, a man waking up outside with the door still locked, lights in the sky, and guttural howls echoing from the treeline. This episode will take you from Green Mountain shadows to Adirondack isolation — where something big is still watching. 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

We would definitely be the most interesting thing in our own solar system. But you’re making the assumption that aliens are gonna get in a craft and specifically fly to Earth just to check us out. Here are a couple of options to consider. 1) They have left their home world a long time ago and are slowly expanding in all directions exploring our galaxy. Our discovery is simply a pleasant surprise or a wary observation and was never an objective of theirs in the beginning. 2) Instead of being an alien race cohabiting our galaxy? They are humans from the distant future. Time travelers. Or another sentient Earth species older than ourselves that comes back from time to time to check on the home world. I think the evidence is overwhelming we have been visited by UFOs or UAPs or whatever we would like to call them. I think what is pure speculation is WHAT or WHO they are. Or even if they present themselves to us in the same way from generation to generation. They obviously are not little green men from Mars like our grandparents thought. Maybe we are all in a computer simulation and the programmers like to throw us curve balls? 🤷‍♂️

Cliff Barackman, James "Bobo" Fay, and Matt Pruitt take on a listener-suggested topic in this new episode! "The Observer Effect" describes the ways in which the act of observing a phenomenon alters that phenomenon. The boys discuss how this concept applies to sasquatch research, and what to do about it! Catch Cliff at the Hocking Hills Bigfoot Festival in McArthur, OH (August 7-10), and catch Pruitt at the Bigfoot MiniConference in Bowling Green, KY (August 1-2) or at the Mohican Bigfoot Festival (September 20)!

FLY I see the stars and galaxies and soon. There could be life on none or many. If there is life, my contention is just that it hasn’t visited earth. That’s all. we might not even be the most significant thing in our own solar system to an outside passerby the numbers of stars and things you mention seem more geared to suggest life must be on a few. Fine. I don’t see someone 561,789 light years from earth even knowing we are here let alone deciding somehow through some means to come here.

Hi from Idaho

The original newspaper article posted by Tirademan in the initial New York Incidents or Field Observations thread at https://bigfootforums.com/topic/357-new-york-incidents-or-field-observations/page/3/#findComment-31113. I ran across a more fulsome (albeit not inherently more trustworthy) article published a little over two weeks after this one. Of note, neither newspaper is from a town located anywhere near the reported encounter. Additionally, this article relies upon an article in another newspaper, which got the information from someone in New Jersey. The lake in question should be Glenmere Lake, which is just southeast of the village of Florida (NY), not Glen Moor Lake.

Coming in loud and clear!👍

Test Post. Note that the wild man was not riding a hedgehog, "Hedgehog" was a local name for some geographic feature that "everyone" in town knew.

I watched that video this morning with my son. Was going to post it on the forum also. Crazy stuff

I also believe in the latter!👍
