This is the oldest known photograph of a sasquatch, dead or alive, and was supposedly taken in 1894 in western Canada. (Source: Cryptomundo.com) This is very interesting information and confirms what some have suspected for many years: that there is something of a cover-up going on concerning evidence of Bigfoot. We now have a more complete story. There was more than one photo, and someone named Haliday apparently took the photos or was pictured in one or more of them. He went to the forestry records of the Hudson's Bay Company where he "stole back" one of the photos, but the number of photos taken of the Bigfoot is not known. We might guess that there were four or five original, glass plate photos. The Hudson’s Bay Company So, some trappers shot and killed a Bigfoot in 1894, and they worked for the Hudson's Bay Company, Canada’s earliest trading company, founded in 1670. The Hudson's Bay Company is no ordinary company; it was the de facto government in large parts of North America before European states or the United States were able to lay claim to areas in this vast domain. Today it is one of the oldest operating companies in the world. Begun as a fur trading company around Hudson Bay, it now as its headquarters in the Simpson Tower in Toronto. At one point, the Hudson's Bay Company had its own country of a sort, called Rupert's Land. At that time, the Hudson's Bay Company was one of the largest andowners in the world, with approximately 15 per cent of the land mass of North America. Rupert's Land consisted of lands that were in he Hudson Bay drainage system— basically the land surrounding any rivers that drained into Hudson Bay. t was named after the first governor of the company, Prince Rupert of the Rhine, who was a nephew of Britain's ing Charles I. The Governor and Company of Adventurers of England Trading into Hudson's Bay comprised he original group that chartered the Hudson's Bay Company. Rupert's Land and the Hudson's Bay Company had their headquarters at York Factory, a town and fort along he Hayes River leading into Hudson Bay. Once the capital of Rupert's Land, it was closed down by the company in 1957. The Hudson's Bay Company nominally owned Rupert's Land for 200 years until about 1870, some 24 years before this photo was allegedly taken—and suppressed. Still, the Hudson's Bay Company was very powerful in 1894 and remains a major fixture in the Canadian economy today as the owner of many of Canada’s retail chains such as The Bay, Zellers, Fields and Home Outfitters. The company has archives, located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, said to be a collection of the company's records and maps. Does this collection include some Bigfoot photographs? That is what the writing scribbled on the back of this Bigfoot photo Atiaaants suggests. One has to wonder: if this photo is genuine, why was it not published many years ago and featured in every NEXUS ¢ 67 AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 2012 www.nexusmagazine.com
