News of the Day
Centerville, Ill., Sept. 4 - A wild man, naked as Adam, has been roaming around the country in this vicinity for several days, causing intense excitement and consternation among the farmers' families. His long tangled beard and matted hair, his tall athletic form and the fierce look out of his eyes make him an exceedingly unpleasant person to meet in a lonely spot. He is hegrimed with dirt from head to foot, for he never gets a bath except when it rains or when necessity compels him to wade a creek in search of prey. He was first seen by the wife of Dr. John Saltenberger, who lives about three miles west of this place. Mrs. Saltenberger was returning home shortly after nightfall, and was near the Stelzelriede farm. the wild man crept stealthily out of the orchard, and when near the buggy, made a rush to stop the horse. The lady have the animal a frantic cut with the whip and he bounded along the road at a furious pace, but almost before she had recovered breath, the wild man had overtaken her and leaped into the vehicle from behind. He uttered not a word, and seemed immediately to become as badly frightened as the lady herself. He sprang down and ran rapidly towards the woods. A telephone message was sent to Belleville, yesterday, asking the sheriff to come and capture the creature. Young men of the settlement are searching the woods in every direction today, but some of them are not over anxious to encounter the monster. Superstitious persons declare it to be the ghost of one of the Stelzlriede family, five of whom were murdered and robbed about eigth years ago. Others are puzzled to decide whether it is the Missing Link or an escape lunatic.
Just a drunk Irishman looking for love in all the wrong places
ReplyDeleteWrong. Read the story. It's very obviously a ghost of the Stelzlriede family. NOT bigfoot. Don't know why we get these posted here when it's clearly just a ghost not a bigfoot!
DeleteI aint afraid of no ghost.
DeleteHmmm. Do ghosts have "long tangled beard and matted hair, [a] tall athletic form and [a] fierce look out of [the] eyes"?
DeleteOh for the love of Pete.
ReplyDeleteEnough of these bearded turn of the century wild man stories already!!
I'd rather watch a gorilla pull a turd out of his lower digestive tract and eat it.

Deletebigfoot clits strike again :o
Deletethese stories are just boozehounds who instead of being homeless in the city nowadays,back then they roamed the woods
Deletesearching for taterhole victims!
DeleteThese stories are all actual bigfoot sightings embellished by the newspaper. I know for 100% certain, guys.
DeleteMore regurgitation! I swear this is right off of bigfootencounters website.
ReplyDeleteUmm I guess I'm the only one, but I enjoy these stories. If you don't like it and don't want to read it then why are you coming to the goddamn page? Damn kids with yer taterhole comments and whatnot
ReplyDeleteThey are good stories.
DeleteMy favorite part is always how the haters latch onto the most mundane element of the story and claim that is the explanation. Ignoring the numerous other parts that sound exactly like today's bigfoot reports such as incredible athleticism, horrible face, unearthly screams and behavior. :)
like yo Momma beatcchhhh!
Deleteyou leave there taterholes alone you!
DeleteThe Town Hall Meeting! of 1884 had already confirmed this was just prospector Ennis McClyde who was ousted from town for defecating in the public horse troughs throughout main street. Which wouldn't have been so bad if the Mayor's wife hadn't use one to wash her laidies small clothes and contracted a mean case of the sifilis!
ReplyDeleteWas Ennis known to be especially athletic?
DeleteHaven't meet a prospector that wasn't!
DeleteFB/FB has annalyzed the photo and can confirm that there is a gloryhole on this buggy.
ReplyDeletejokes : )
Delete"...A telephone message was sent to Belleville..." 1883
ReplyDeleteThis is questionable as "Around 1893, the country leading the world in telephones per 100 persons (teledensity) was Sweden with 0.55 in the whole country but 4 in Stockholm (10,000 out of a total of 27,658 subscribers).[5] This compares with 0.4 in USA for that year.[6"
A "telegraph" is more likely but by using the word telephone it brings up the validity of the story.
new anony
The stories are not valid.
DeleteWelcome to Bigfoot Evidence.
The posters are not valid.

ReplyDeleteThat's all you chicks got are old stories of crazy named wild men trying to fuck everyone?
ReplyDeleteBoring!!!!!!
What's less boring? Someone seeing an ape walk in the woods?
DeleteIt's a lot healthier for you getting out in the woods, beats surfing the web any day of the week, watching people enjoying the big outdoors if only I was young again..sigh.
DeleteThat's right...Prokill need pictures. Colorful pictures. Words scare Prokill. Make Prokill lose interest.
DeleteThree words:
