Canada 1883/08/01 (ON) - Man or Gorilla?

[Guest tirademan]

UPDATE 13 Sept. 2026 by Trogluddite: The Newark Daily Advocate article was saved to this forum a second time about a year after Tirademan made this post.  That redundant post, titled Canada 1883 (ON) - The Extraordinary Character Who Is Scaring Canueks, has been deleted. 

 

Man or Gorilla? Neither.

Edited to add the other report from the same year...another cow milking story. I've got 3 or 4 of those.

Was it a bigfoot is the question?  Bigfoots have not been reported to make and carry stone tomahawks. This may have been a story embellishment.
