More Historical Newspaper Archives

[Trogluddite]

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* Every single historical newspaper article about a single incident may not be published.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.
