Pennsylvania 1920 - Gorilla or Large Ape Sighted Near Doerr Terrace (The Explanation?)


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Published in the Progress, Lewisburg (PA) Journal on October 29, 1920.  Many newspaper articles about Doerr Terrace ape were published in Bigfoot in Pennsylvania by Timothy Renner.  Notice that while a vagrant was arrested and blamed for the "ape," the constable declared that he found footprints of "an ape of no small dimensions."  

 

(Yes, I cannibalized a prior post; trying to keep around 200 clippings straight confuses the mind sometime.)

Or was the ape this man, arrested for vagrancy and charged with attacking two girls?  This story occurred much closer in time to the events at Doerr Terrace; the article was published in The Pittsburgh (PA) Press on August 26, 1920.
