Giant Skeleton Discovered in a Cave at Shohola,
New York
Thibodaux Sentinel, December 21, 1901
Hunters from Susquehanna, Pa., while excavating for a hunt near Shohola's Glen, New
York., discovered a cave in which they found the skeleton of a man of gigantic size. It was
swathed in rawhide trappings that kept it in a sitting posture. Near the skeleton were
several bowls of reddish clay but almost as hard as flint. A rude stone tablet was found near
the skeleton side covered with rude pictures of birds and beasts, among them one of a
monster half beast, half reptile. A number of implements were also found in the cave,
among them a huge ax made of stone and stone spearheads of unusual size.
