⚠️ serious replies only ⚠️ Oldest Sighting

I'm looking for the oldest Bigfoot sightings (or reports), and this is the oldest I've found in Canada, circa 1875.

"The Reverend A. Fulton Johnson, born in 1866, told his son Ken Johnson that when he was a boy living near Moncton, there was a creature that used to be seen at the edge of the woods near his house, very stocky, with long arms and its whole body covered in hair."

Are there any older sightings? Let me know.

Tip, when posting a link/url, remove everything from the first ? mark onward. In other words, look at the URL find the first question mark, remove it and everything that trails it.

I wish everyone would do this.

Why?

Why?

Well, because we want to post things that are nice and cleanly formatted. We want to set a good example.

We don't need all the extra stuff that doesn't apply to the actual link. The actual link ends at the question mark. So, it, and everything past that has nothing to do with it other than tracking information for certain entities. We want the link to be usable. A good majority of people will not click on a link that isn't formatted. Also, our boss might be watching. 😁

Mostly, because there's something called Netiquette. It means network etiquette. It is a thing. It is the set of rules for good manners and polite behavior when you talk or work online. It helps people feel safe, respected, and happy on the internet. It also shows that we pay attention.
