Strange Nebraska Hominoid Seen
A Nebraska City despatch of Nov. 30th, says John Hoff, wood chopper, last Saturday night [November 26] stumbled over the form of a frightful and hideous-looking creature. He described it as undoubtedly of human form in face and body, but so frightfully deformed as to leave only a faint resemblance. The body, as far as he could observe, was entirely naked and black and rough. The head [had] the eyes almost protruding from their sockets, and fangs stood out from a horribly shaped mouth. In locomotion it used its feet, and what were undoubtedly its arms from the elbows to [...]

Edward Waite Encounters Sea Serpent
Saw a Sea Serpent The officers and crew of the schooner Edward Waite, of Portland, Me., which arrived at this port recently, are positive that they fell in with a genuine sea serpent on the voyage from Cardenas [Cuba] to this city with a cargo of sugar.

We passed that point and were more than [...]
Sounds of the “Thing”
The sea serpent[,] or “Thing,” was heard by others of the residents as well as by some of the cottagers, during his late re-appearance along the East shore [of the Clinton County, New York, peninsula that juts into Lake Champlain]. The sounds are described as peculiar, but whether they were made when the creature was disporting itself on the reef, or when he was “rolling up, tumbling up, any way to get up” on the shore, we are not informed. It is hoped that the editor of the Republican may sometime have the opportunity of examining the “Thing” at close [...]
