Giants in Adair County, Kentucky

A Kentucky Cave Story Adair County

Louisville-Courier-Journal Columbia, Kentucky January 30, 1876 Adair County Reprinted in a Story by Wayne May in Ancient American

EXCERPT:”…But, it�s not the things that we naturally expect to find in caves that we wish to mention particularly, but the curios remains that were discovered therein. Adair County

In the northeast corner of the first gallery, (for there are five, which we will speak of) about five feet from the ground, they noticed some strange characters or hieroglyphics neatly carved in the wall, which, upon close examination, proved to be the head-rock of a vault.

A few minutes prying served to loosen this and disclose to view the interior of an enclosure in the solid rock of about five by ten feet, which contained the remains of three skeletons, which measure eight feet seven and a half inches, eight feet five inches and eight feet four an three quarter inches in length respectively.

The heads were lying toward the east, each body parallel to the other. Beside them lay three huge (what looked to be) swords, but they were so decayed that upon being touched they crumbled to dust.”….

What is the source of the original article? I see reposts all over the web when doing a search. In addition I see no evidence of these so called giant skeletons. grant you there is the picture associate with this article but nothing that gives a sense of spatial identification… no rule… nothing to compare the height against Reply ↓ clesley on February 17, 2014 at 10:51 pm said:

The original source is a newspaper article archive. With the advent of the internet about 1100+articles can be compared together for the first time. Not all of them have spatial objects for comparison. Many of the ones that do have spatial comparisons i can replicate for people like you to come and see. The greater ancestors world museum has many skeptics that walk in but almost none that walk out. checkout our facebook page as well. Reply ↓ Dana on March 24, 2014 at 6:58 pm said:

Someone recently contacted my family who was doing some research on this story. The men who first discovered these remains were White’s and we are also White’s who live in Adair County Kentucky along Russell Creek. We had never heard this story before but are curious to learn more about it. Could anyone help me find more information on the story or tell me how to get the article that was published in the magazine? Thanks Reply ↓ clesley on May 20, 2014 at 12:17 am said:
