This Bigfoot sighting is from 1913! Wow!
We love getting old reports, especially newspaper clippings. This report was sent to us from Nova Scotia. Kurt writes: "We don’t get many reports of Bigfoot here in Nova Scotia but on occasion I find something interesting from the past like the attached news article from the Thorburn Post. This dates back to August 5th, 1913 so it was quite some time ago. Thorburn is a rural farming community about 1 ½ hours from Halifax. Anyway it’s pretty self-explanatory, locals call this the Hulley Gulley and I’ve a few friends who live in the area who tell me it’s sort of a local legend along the lines of Bigfoot that comes and goes."
Bigfoot is real folks.
ReplyDeleteI will be spending a week on the northern tip of Cape Breton island soon. I will spend quite a bit of that time in the National Park hiking. That is about as wooded and remote as it gets in Nova Scotia.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many bigfeets I'll see?
Since you'll probably be the only moron up there who obsesses about Bigfoot 24 hours a day, my guess would be as many as you want to see.
Delete^^
DeletePanties in a bunch?
Hello Donald... Some beautiful country up there, but even if you don't see anything out of the ordinary, be sure to remember that that doesn't mean something doesn't see you.
Delete^ Yes...remember they`re prolly peeping out from behind the "dimension curtain"...eh ?
DeleteAccording to some.
DeleteGotta love these old newspaper clippings. And where are the clowns who maintain that this subject was the product of the PGF 47 years ago?
ReplyDelete******* denialist clowns, ha ha ha ha ha!!
Here's a neat idea. Why don't you do some background and see if you can verify that this alleged newspaper article is legit?
DeleteWhy would you just accept immediately that this article ever existed?
I've done some preliminary searching online and I can't find a single reference to any old newspaper in NS called The Thorburn Post. That seems odd..
DeleteInteresting. I have sent an email query to the provincial government department in charge of historical archives. They should at least be able to tell us if the The Thorburn Post even existed.
DeleteActually, after reading the whole article, I cry foul. It doesn't even read like an actual article.
Delete" carried off my beau three fortnights ago.." LOL. Ya ok.
I am calling BS. This is just a stupid hoax.
Donald... Are you aware of how many newspaper reports there are of "wildmen" from the whole of the 19th century and the early part of the 20th?
DeleteTrot on over to D L Soucy's YouTube channel... And how would I "verify these alleged newspaper articles"? I would point to the physical evidence that transitions it.
Donald... Also, a lot of these newspapers would be local to areas that have since become considerably more populated from their more rural beginnings. The newspaper article may well have been sourced from a library archive, with little of it uploaded to the Internet... This is true of many History of The Townships, etc. I'll do some digging myself.
DeleteOh, and like Soucy, I don't for one second think that there aren't hoaxes out there.
DeleteI fully understand that many small town newspapers would not have a virtual archive.
DeleteUnless "Kurt" from NS has access to 102 year old newspapers, then I would have expected being able to find something about this article. I still cannot find a single thing to even indicate the newspaper existed.
You've rattled my curiosity, it has to be said.
Delete11;46 ... take the advice offerred in the old adage...
Deletethus...when in a hole------stop digging.
It would apply if anyone was in a hole... And an ample adage for someone who doesn't practice proper scepticism.
Delete"Gotta love these old newspaper clippings. And where are the clowns who maintain that this subject was the product of the PGF 47 years ago?
Delete******* denialist clowns, ha ha ha ha ha!!"
Might I remind you of your gloating over a phony newspaper article?
^ ...ahhh,yah`ve got me derr boyo...we`re all secret bleevers...true dat !
DeleteMight I remind you, Donald... That you've yet to show us all that it's a phony newspaper article. Your opinion holds no more weight around here than anyone else. Would you like me to source you a gazillion others? I could make you look daft you know.
Delete12:22... At least you admit it.
Hey it's Kurt, this isn't a hoax... it's a real newspaper clipping from the Torburn Post. dmaker, you don't have to believe it is a real clipping. https://librariesns.ca/content/newspaper-digitization
DeleteKurt, I still don't see it anywhere in the link you referenced? Could you help me out here?
DeleteThe Thorburn Post. LOL. This is fake.
ReplyDeleteNext hoax!
It doesn't look good for the "Thorburn Post" being real. A website for Nova Scotia libraries has a page for historical newspapers published in Thorburn, there is no mention of a "Thorburn Post". Note also the clarity of the font on the supposed news article, and the faux aged paper texture. Lastly, we are left with the witness quotes. The language used is bordering on comical. Of course language was used differently then, but this seems a bit too florid. There are enough actual examples of wildmen reported in historical newspapers, that losing this one makes no material difference.
ReplyDeleteBut Joe Iktomi was all over this "Thorburn Post" story as if it is legitimate.
DeleteHey Iktomi, got Thorburn Post suit?
Hahaha Itkomi/Joe gets owned again. I'm so glad this retard keeps coming back everyday to get s hit all over.
DeleteI wasn't really trying to disparage anyone, only questioning the validity of the news item.
DeleteGreat sourcing LT, much appreciated.
DeleteMy initial point lost on these two sad intellectual throw backs, who need any angle to claw back some self esteem lost so comprehensively every day of their pitiful existences, still stands however. The most important thing is that there are wildman newspaper reports that indeed do have legitimate paper trails that shove the lie that this topic was born out of the PGF down the throats of the liars pushing it.
I ant encourage enthusiasts enough to go and check out some D L Soucy. I think the guy's work an inspiration and a real thorn in pseudosceptic's sides.
Bigfoot doesn't exist. Case closed
ReplyDeleteSorry kid... You're not qualified enough.
DeleteI live in the area, and have asked many locals about the story. None have memory of it.
ReplyDeleteI have asked a researcher who lived in the area all their life, and they recall as a child an older person saying, "...and Thorburn even had its own newspaper...". So, I would say yes, there may have been a small, short lived paper in the village, which was much larger at the time due to a thriving coal mine within the village limits. The paper may have even been sponsored by the mine for the employees.
