Monongahela Giant

The Monongahela Giant was an alleged giant skeleton that was claimed to have been excavated from a vault at the Colvin farm near Monongahela, Pennsylvania during 1859, described in a newspaper report of the Pittsburgh Chronicle as measuring 8 feet (2.44 m.) in height and as having been found in a seated position, surrounded by "ornaments of exquisite workmanship, denoting a greater skill than usually belonged to the Indians, together with crockery and warlike implements." No further information has been found regarding the claim at this time.
