Have you heard about the exciting Bigfoot sighting on Pretties Island, reported in an 1883 article? The YouTube channel Sage Outcast brought this historical account to my attention, and I couldn't wait to share it with fellow Bigfoot enthusiasts.
The article describes a Wild Man Bigfoot sighting in Pembroke, approximately 100 miles north of Ottawa. The creature was said to be eight feet tall and covered in hair. Its appearance was so terrifying that the locals avoided the nearby Pettis Island for several weeks.
Two brave riflemen, Tuffy and Salzman, decided to venture into the woods in search of the mysterious being. Armed with weapons, they hoped to catch a glimpse of the monster. Around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, their curiosity was rewarded when the creature emerged from the thicket. In one hand, it held a tomahawk made of stone, and in the other, it wielded a bludgeon.
The sight of the creature was enough to strike fear into the hearts of the riflemen, who quickly retreated to their boat, moored on the beach. The giant followed them, uttering guttural yells as it pursued them into the stream. The riflemen barely managed to get to the boat and pull away before the Bigfoot hurled its tomahawk, striking one of them in the arm and fracturing it.
Tuffy and Salzman fired two shots, but neither seemed to affect the creature. The Bigfoot retreated, only to return when it heard the sound of the gunfire. The article describes the creature as a gorilla-like man, with a thick growth of black hair covering its face and body, in near-perfect condition.
This historical account is a fascinating glimpse into the past and a reminder that Bigfoot sightings have been a part of our collective history for a long time. I encourage you to watch the Sage Outcast video and read the original article for yourself. The thrill of discovery is always more enjoyable when shared with others, so let's continue the conversation and explore the mysteries of Bigfoot together.
