## Resource

n 1884, a British Columbia newspaper reported that railway workers had captured a four-foot-tall, ape-like creature near Yale, BC — they called him Jacko. This week, the Theorists dig into one of Canada's oldest and strangest cryptid cases: a supposed juvenile sasquatch caged and put on public display over a century before Bigfoot became a household name. Was Jacko a genuine cryptozoological discovery lost to history, an escaped circus animal, or one of the 19th century's great hoaxes? The gang breaks down the original newspaper account, the mysterious disappearance of all physical evidence, and why this story keeps getting resurrected by sasquatch researchers today. Grab your snowshoes — the Theorists are heading into the BC interior. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
