Cave of Ten-Foot Giants reprinted A from, The Daily Victoria Standard,
Victoria, B.C., Canada, 1885-07-07
J. H. Porter has a farm near Northeast, not many miles from where the Lake Shore
Railroad crosses the New York State boundary line. Early this week some workmen
in Mr. Porter's employ came upon the entrance of a cave, and on entering it,
found heaps of human bones within. Many skeletons were complete, and specimens of
the find were brought out and exhibited to the naturalists and archaeologists of
the neighborhood.
They informed the wondering bystanders that the remains were unmistakably those
of giants. The entire village of Northeast was aroused by the discovery, and
hundreds of people from this city took advantage of their holiday to visit the
scene. It was at first conjectured that the remains were those of soldiers killed
in battle with the Indians that abounded in the vicinity during the last century
but the size of the skulls and length of the leg bones dispelled that theory.
So far, about 150 giant skeletons, of powerful proportions, have been exhumed,
and indications point to a second cave eastward, which may probably contain as
many more. Scientists who have exhumed the skeletons and made many careful
measurements of the bones say that they are the remains of a race of gigantic
creatures, compared with which our tallest man would appear as pygmies.
There are no arrowheads, stone hatches or other implements of war with the
bodies. Some of the bones are on exhibit at various stores. One is as thick as
a good-sized bucket Credit: Bill Hecton
