In a recent video from the YouTube channel GIS Bigfoot Answers, viewers are taken on a journey back in time to the 1870s in Topeka, Kansas, where settlers reported seeing a gorilla-like creature that caused havoc in the melon patches and made terrifying roars and screams. The video, which was submitted by a viewer through the channel's membership program, is a fascinating look at early Bigfoot sightings in the region. According to the video, two sightings were reported in the 1890s, one in 1869 and another in 1893. The first sighting described a gorilla or wild man that was seen several times in the fields and even approached homes. The creature was described as having a stooping gait, very long arms, immense hands and claws, a hairy face, and generally walked on its hind legs. Over 60 settlers gathered to hunt the creature, but it managed to escape. The second sighting was of a strange animal that roared through the woods and was described as half man and half devil, standing over 7 feet tall. The video also explores the possibility of a cluster of Bigfoot sightings in and around Kansas City and Topeka by comparing it to the BFRO map, which shows visual sightings and other evidence such as Bigfoot footprints and vocalizations. The area around Kansas City and Topeka does seem to have a high concentration of sightings, which adds to the intrigue of the early reports from the 1890s. I find these early reports of Bigfoot sightings to be incredibly interesting. It's fascinating to see how the creature was described back then and how it compares to modern-day sightings. The fact that over 60 settlers gathered to hunt the creature in the first report is a testament to how seriously these sightings were taken, even back then. I encourage all Bigfoot believers to check out the video and explore the GIS Bigfoot Answers channel and membership program. It's a great resource for staying up-to-date on the latest Bigfoot sightings and research. And who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to submit your own sighting and become a part of the Bigfoot community. Excitement Level: 7 Note: The video's title is "Settlers See Bigfoot in 1870's!
