Published in the "General News" column of the Reading (PA) Times on June 11, 1873. As one can see from the preceding and subsequent news articles, these appeared to be serious items in which people might be interested.

Published in Poulson's American Daily Advertiser, Philadelphia (PA), on September 26, 1780. "Wild man" coins should be familiar to longtime Forums members as there have been numerous posts and/or threads mentioning them. Of course, now that I want one for an example, I can't find one anywhere. However, a guest posted a link to an article on the Coin World website describing the sale of German Wild Man coins. That story at https://www.coinworld.com/news/world-coins/german-auction-house-offers-some-really-wild-coins.html is worth a click just for the high quality pictures.

A chilling yet profoundly emotional Bigfoot encounter unfolds in this episode as Ray from Henderson, Kentucky shares what happened to him as a young child growing up near the Green River in Bluff City, deep within the Ohio River Valley—an area long rumored to be a hotspot for Sasquatch activity. Ray describes being thrown from a horse, becoming trapped in briars, and coming face-to-face with a massive female Bigfoot who approached him with unexpected intelligence and compassion. What follows includes possible telepathic communication, multiple later sightings along the river, mysterious missing livestock, enormous footprints, and a hidden bone yard discovered in the woods. His story intertwines with the historical “Spotsville Monster” timeline across the river, revealing startling parallels to other Kentucky Bigfoot encounters happening during the same year. If you’re interested in real Bigfoot sightings, Appalachian folklore, Sasquatch behavior, cryptid research, or eyewitness interviews, this episode delivers one of the most compelling and humane accounts you’ll ever hear. 🌲 Topics covered: • Childhood Bigfoot encounter in Kentucky • Massive female Sasquatch with human-like features • Possible telepathy during a close encounter • Ohio River Valley Bigfoot activity • Green River sightings and late-night river-line movement • Livestock disappearances and unexplained footprints • Bone yard discovery in the woods • Spotsville Monster connection (1970s Kentucky Bigfoot case) 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

That article from Seattle Magazine about the man kidnapped by a Sasquatch….happened in 1961. I think these incidents must have occurred countless times and are at least partly responsible for unsolved disappearances. I’ve wondered if Sasquatch swoops from trees and scoops up hikers and hunters etc. After a close call with a mountain lion in a tree, I was very careful to check trees for lurking cats , or bears. And that’s when I discovered rock stacks in a tree and subsequent trips I observed the rock stacks changed arrangements and also rock types. It did make me uneasy and after creepy experiences, I quit going there. And one of the reasons was the realization that Sasquatch could ****** people off the ground , even though I had never heard of it, just seeing those rock stack changes prompted me to think of Sasquatches in trees … Really fascinating account of Sasquatches using fire and living in a network of caves and what seemed to be like a Sasquatch village.

I kick myself because we are on our way to NM to see the grandkids. That was a fine opportunity.

Published in the Reading (PA) Times on July 23, 1873. A few months later a wild man was reported approximately 60 miles northeast, in Rowland, Pennsylvania. That brief item is from The Daily Freeman of Kingston (NY) on September 18, 1873.

Published in the Harrisburg (PA) Telegraph on June 04, 1873.

This story in The Courier-Journal of Louisville (KY) on March 5, 1853 reprints a story from a Florence, Alabama newspaper. The Alabama editors seem to suspect that the Arkansas editors writing about the giant wild man in that state are all "boss liars." The follow up article, with a happy ending, was found in the Republican Banner of Nashville (TN) on April 13, 1853.

Join us as Greg “Squatch Man” Yost recounts the night that changed his life forever—when a massive Bigfoot emerged from the darkness of Ferdinand State Forest in Dubois County, Indiana. In this powerful, emotional interview, Squatch Man shares his 24 years of encounters, including the terrifying first moment a “forest giant” breathed behind a tree just 20 feet away, his unforgettable Knobstone Trail stare-down, and the remarkable experiences that convinced him the “forest people” are intelligent, aware, and deeply connected to the land. From Clark State Forest to Daniel Boone Forest, from tree knocks to full-body sightings, Greg opens up about fear, transformation, spiritual awakening, and the extraordinary interactions that shaped his mission to understand Bigfoot. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or simply Bigfoot-curious, this episode delivers one of the most detailed encounter stories ever recorded. Topics Include: • Bigfoot encounters in Indiana & Kentucky • Ferdinand State Forest confrontation • Knobstone Trail “forest people” sighting • How intentions affect Bigfoot interaction • Spiritual and emotional impact of encounters • Eye glow phenomena, tree knocks, and vocalizations • Why Squatch Man believes they are “people,” not animals 🗣️ Share Your Story Had a Bigfoot encounter or strange experience?

I would agree that if you have sasquatches around, the bears are probably not. It's funny that the most famous nighttime sasquatch terror stories are the kidnappings of Albert Ostman and Muchalat Harry, both of which occurred in the 1920's........also when the Ape Canyon cabin attack occurred. No (or little known) kidnappings since. A sasquatch kidnapping might still beat a bear mauling while wrapped up in a tent...........

Oh, and by the way - one was seen last week near Welsh Mountain. Published in the Reading (PA) Times on January 06, 1873.

Former Forums member Scott McClean (RIP) posted several stories about the Winsted Wild Man from August of 1895. The encounters, and calls for the governor to act, continued into September of that year. The first article is from the New Haven (CT) Morning Journal-Courier on September 04, 1895; the second is from The Meriden (CT) Daily Republican on September 07, 1895.

Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year! Catching up on some interesting pictures....cheers:)

Yeah, that is terrifying. Being trapped in tent fabric, maybe unable to free your arms and legs to put up a fight, while being eaten. I share that. In a way that's why I take a strange comfort in sensing the big folks near camp. My hope is the bears will stay away to avoid them. Might seem weird to people who are particularly afraid of bigfoot and I get that, but there is a hierarchy of concern and BF is nowhere near the top of my personal list. Snakes don't bother me too much. I was bitten by a rattlesnake once .. I didn't care for it. I'm careful with snakes but they don't give me the visceral heebie jeebies the way spiders do. I shoot spiders. Around home my GF takes care of the spiders, I take care of any rodents (which affect her like spiders do me) .. it's a mutually acceptable tradeoff. Spiders + bears are why I like a mesh bug bivy for backpacking. Keeps the crawlies away but I can see around me if I hear something. Hand on sidearm .. yes .. and flashlight in the other. Being able to see is the great equalizer. Reminds me of the saying about "in the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king."
