Oh yeah, the classic "Kansas college kids become big hairy monsters prowling" rube!



tirademan

This one also had a section on Chessie...the lake monster, I believe.

tirademan

Another children's story reference...check those claws!

tirademan

Pre-Patterson Michigan flap...found a bunch on this one.

tirademan

More Michigan stuff...

tirademan

More Michigan stuff...I'd actually posted some things about this incident earlier too.

tirademan

4 more about this Michigan thang...

tirademan

Guess I could have put them in order! DOH...

tirademan

And another...

tirademan

Oh yeah, love that last one...if I'm scared it becomes big and if it's not human it becomes hairy? Whoa...

Last one for now!

tirademan

These are absolutely awesome. Great find!

Great newspaper clips, good work Tirademan!!

Wonder if they still offer those monsterburguers ??

Thanks again!

I'd posted this a long time ago, but I recently "refound" it.

I thought I'd add it here as well.

Interesting plot line don't you think?

tirademan

And a cleaned up version for the desktop!


tirademan

Hey do you know the date of this last post ?? The plot sounds interesting, the setting in the lumber camp cabin deep in the woods, the woman found dead.... except for the part were it says "a man is shot".. shot or shocked?, don't think sas would be armed...
Thanks again man, another great clip Tirademan!!! (you could make a nice and very interesting booklet with only old news clippings... I'll buy it!!

The play is listed as being from the 1920's but with no exact date.

As for the book (compilation), I'm still "clipping" the raw files I found!

Here's some more as I've made it to Ohio for now...moving alphabetically I am...

tirademan

I just love how all these stories start from actual sightings and finally make their way to kids hoaxing them...hmmmm, sounds VERY familiar!

tirademan

Yeah, outer space...right!

tirademan

They're still creating excitement it seems!

tirademan

Yeah, this guy's a scientist...HA!

tirademan

Gee, 2 years later and I guess people are just seeing things...oh, wait, there's that hoax solution again....whew!

tirademan

He thinks it's a hoax, but it would have to be 8-feet tall, weigh 450-500lbs and has very authentic tracks?


Dang humans are always looking for the "rational" explanation without seeing the actual one...IMHO!

tirademan

Another children's book I've never heard of, "Wiley and the Hairy Man"

Anyone?

tirademan

OK, here's an early one from 1963, and YES, it's completely explained with incredible non-logic! Wow, who would've thought that?

tirademan

And it seems that this poor woman just can't take any more!



tirademan

At least the police knew the people were sincere...too bad the "hoax solution" is so readily available! Again, IMHO...

tirademan

Just some garbage bags and lights...wonder why Bob H went to all the trouble?



tirademan

Then the psychologists get involved...

Seeing Monsters is the same as believing in King and Kennedy assassination conspiracies?



tirademan

Keep posting those clippings Tirademan!!

I love how as long as you can explain an event as being a hoax using the most outrageous hypothesis and unreal evidences, the people automatically accepts it. Actually most of the people don't even question those explanations, while the real evidence and posible explanations are put aside and the people who presented that evidence are discriminated and ridiculized. Just by looking at these old clips you can tell that something is out there, not a myth, urban/suburban legend, or product of few pranksters but rather a creature that keeps having reported encounters with us in different locations and with different types of people, and we are just trying to deny it, ignore it, or ridiculize it... Even sadder is to see that some people had tried to take advantage of this topic and the way the topic has been addressed in general to create personal profit (Bob H, Korff, Long, Wallace, etcs) out of the few people that has bring some interesting evidences. I hope people start to look back with an open mind on the increasingly amount of past and new evidence that is out there but not taken in a serious and unbias manner.....

Man, what the hell did I just wrote?? I guess the Advils and Prozacs are kicking in.....

Any way, I love this thread because it shows that sources for information and reports for good old Sas are available and has being available everywhere, not only in Cryto magazines and few Sas related sites but they don't get the recognition (just by shear number of sightings and stories) that they should.... If Tirademan can create a book of just old news and magazine clippings without any analysis of the clips/news will be an interesting book to have that would make the perfect complement to any Bigfoot's book collection being enthusiast or not on the topic.

Ok now it is time to call poison control and avoid writting too much nonsenses in the forum, talk about over medication!!....

Love this thread though, good work Tirademan!!!

Sheriff jokes...beer and hippies. Hmmmm....seem to have heard that somewhere...if I could just remember where....

tirademan

This one from 1964 is interesting...anyone hear of this 1950 Jim Carter disappearance near Ape Canyon...including a crazy ski trail left behind?

tirademan

(still wading through them!)

Who is this guy? WOW, talk about skeptical reasoning!



tirademan

He strikes again! He seems to be related to some skeptics out there today...

tirademan

Another "early" one...this time from Texas

tirademan

OK kids...check out the last paragraph of the second column on this one and check the name!



...do ya think? NAH!!!!!!!

tirademan

(all for now!)

Oh Yeah!! Cliff a.k.a Bob!!! (most probably some relative!!)
Man this is too funny!! Please keep posting Tirademan, this threat has to be nominated for the best forum in the social/historical research section (yeaph I made that one up, but hey isn't it a good section for this thread to win the best of...???)!!


So if you have time and the resources keep posting!!

On Wisconsin! Now I know the Seven-foot short-legged Hodag doesn't sound like good Ol Bigfoot, but I wonder just how these old logger's tales get started?...and couldn't they get distorted just a bit?

tirademan

Furry flurries in Wisconsin...

tirademan

Property owners respond...

tirademan

And the solution...ah, yes, kids hoaxing. Nicely wrapped up.

tirademan

You know, much as literary critics will edit a collection of reviews for important writers, someone (and I nominate you) needs to edit together a collection of all these great newspaper articles you are gathering. I suppose there must really be thousands, so you could organize them into certain "groups" and select representative examples. Since most of the stuff you are finding is (or will be soon) in the public domain, there is little trouble with copyright.

Of course, it would only be of interest to researchers, so not likely to be a blockbuster, but still.. it really ought to be done.

3 years later and the flurries begin again! Doesn't anyone ever learn about these hoaxers?

tirademan

I'm in the process of compiling these into a book now. I'm laying it out in Quark. These new posts are the files I'm just getting to now. If you go back a few pages, you can see photos of the "first layout" before I found a new cache. I will keep everyone posted as to it's status, I'm hoping I have something done in the next couple of months.

tirademan

Hunters "from the city" and beer cans...ah yes, we can all look the other way now.

tirademan

I will absolutely be wanting a copy..

A culprit is accused...but his dad denies it.

tirademan

And everyone calms down...boy, these old reports take on a familiar ring after a while!

tirademan

And one more on the Hodag...I still think the old-time loggers were seeing something real in the woods...and you know what!



tirademan

Man can I pre-pay / pre-order a copy of your book?

Great stuff!!

OK, next round of posts, then it's Go Pack! for me!

Here's some "mysterious animal" finds...this first one is interesting...anyone ever see this episode?

Yes, big cats are probably out there too, but it seems people assume that any mysterious nocturnal hunter must be a "Panther" because Sasquatch isn't on their damn list! (IMHO) And yes, I saw the part about seeing a tail...could both be in the woods perhaps?
