Canada 1785 - Captured Wild Man Sent to France
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
Published in Poulson's American Daily Advertiser, a Philadelphia newspaper. My best estimate is that this event occurred north or west of Lake of the Woods, Ontario or Minnesota, rather than the lake of that name in Oregon (I believe). This one has all the hallmarks of being a Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Remember, in early printing what looks like an "f" is really an "s." -
International 1834 - Wild Man found in Bohemia
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
Bohemia would now be in the western Czech Republic. No mention of hair or great size, so a Czech Bigfoot seems unlikely. Published in the Blairsville (PA) Record on October 22, 1834. -
What happens when a group of Bigfoot researchers returns to a fire-scorched Oregon mountain — and finds that something’s been waiting for them? In this mysterious and raw episode recorded in the field at Oakridge 2025, we hear firsthand from researchers like Ronnie Roseman, Dewayne, M.K. Davis, and Don Monroe. Stories unfold of massive trackways left behind as a birthday gift, of creatures mimicking human gestures from a ridge, and of bizarre portal phenomena on Saddle Blanket Mountain. There’s the tale of Sasquatch stealing a lunch — and leaving behind a can of beer. Encounters with glowing yellow eyes, eerily human-like neck tilts, and creatures watching silently from the moss. This isn’t just another Bigfoot campout — it’s a chilling reminder that these beings are still out there, still watching, and maybe… waiting. Whether you’re into high strangeness, deep woods terror, or the living myth of Sasquatch — this episode will stick with you. 🔊 Listen now.

Vermont 1750s - 1820s - Old Slipperyskin
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
Old Slipperyskin merits only three mentions in the Forums even though he harassed Roger's Rangers during their retreat from Canada, terrorized several towns in Vermont, and caused one gubernatorial candidate to lose an election. I originally discovered a good round-up of Old Slipperyskin encounters on the Vermonter Blog in 2013; they've updated the story with glitzy art and better formatting since then. Let's cause a spike in their readership at https://www.vermonter.com/slipperyskin-creature-vermont/. -

Random observations that I'll update from time to time: * For some period of time, the "wild man of Borneo," likely an orangutan, was a popular sideshow in even the smallest carnival or "shop of horrors." However, there being a general shortage of orangutans in the United States, many places hired someone to portray the "wild man." I've run across many such stories, but will only be posting one or two that are particularly noteworthy. * Similarly, people with mental health problems who subsisted as best they could in the woods were often identified as a "wild man." Again, I'm not posting the many stories I've encountered where it appears clear that it is a person, not a Bigfoot, described. For example, if the "wild man" uses a rifle or runs a local speakeasy, its an interesting story but its not relevant to the Forums. * Also there are cases where violent criminals are identified as a "wild man." In at least one of those cases, the author of a book used a truncated version of the story which made it sound like an attack was committed by an unknown, upright, hairy bipedal creature. But upon finding a longer version of that story, it is clear that the "wild man" was a common rapist. * Lastly, for now, it's surprisingly difficult to find a specific story. I went through Tirademan's posts in the Archives and cross-referenced them to those saved by Gigantor to identify those that are missing. Even with fairly specific information and a limited time frame specified, its possible that the search will be completely fruitless with no results or overwhelming with an avalanche of results. -
Connecticut 1908 - Wild Man Living in Cave
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
Connecticut was apparently overrun by wild men in the early 1900s - this appears to be a different report than Tirademan found, although I haven't mapped it. - Yesterday

Thank you - although I was hoping to fly under the radar for a bit. Quite the big shoes to be following Tirademan's work in finding the old articles and Gigantor's work curating some of them.

Pennsylvania 1838 - The Whistling Boy - Tirademan!
Trogluddite posted a topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
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. -
Canada 1935 - Reports Tell Of Canadian Monster Men
Trogluddite replied to gigantor's topic in Tirademan's Historical Newspaper Archives
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. -
Canada 1934 - Americans to Hunt Sasquatch
Trogluddite replied to Trogluddite's topic in More Historical Newspaper Archives
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.... -

What do you think of the US Forest Service's view on bigfoot?
norseman replied to georgerm's topic in General Bigfoot Discussion
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.
