Pennsylvania 1921 - "Huge" Gorilla Seen Near Idaville


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Pennsylvania had a huge gorilla problem in the early 1920s, there are several more to come, most courtesy of Bigfoot in Pennsylvania by Timothy Renner.  This story was published in the Waynesboro (PA) Record on January 26, 1921.  Surprisingly, most of the sightings were in the south-central ridge-and-valley system of Pennsylvania, not the Alleghenies in western Pennsylvania or the sparsely populated northern tier along the New York border.  This gorilla hunt occurred less than 15 miles northeast from Gettysburg and several months before a gorilla invaded that town.
