Marion County, West Virginia Giant's Graves

There are numerous accounts of giant skeletons being discovered in Marion County, West Virginia

Now and Long Ago, 1969
     Near Smithtown, on lands of John C. Malone, is an Indian burying place, located under an overhanging rock, close to White Day Creek.  A  number of bones and skeletons have been taken from this ancient cemetery, by Dr. Kramer and others.
    In September, 1882, a large skeleton was unearthed in the district by F.M. Fetty and his wife.  It was in a sitting position, in a rock grave, walled up with loose stones.  In the summer of 1883, James Faulkner and others found an unusually large skeleton in the district.  It is said to be that of a man whose stature was not less than seven feet, and who evidently belonged to prehistoric times. (Dr. Kramer measured the skeleton and found it to be seven-feet-four inches long, and supposed its owner, when living, must have been almost eight feet tall.

   At Rivesville once upon a time three giant skeletons were found while excavating for a new bridge, and this discovery coupled with other things nearby indicated to historians that the section was once the home of an ancient tribe of Indians.  Each of the skeletons found was more than seven feet long, and the men themselves must have been several inches taller.

   Mastodonic remains are occasionally unearthed, and, from time to time, discoveries of the remains of Indian settlements are indicated by the appearance of gigantic skeletons, with the high cheekbones, powerful jaws and massive frames peculiar of the red man, who left these as the only record with which to form a clue to the history of past ages.   Abraham Lincoln speaks before Congress of America's ancient giants  www.nephilimgiants.net : Abraham Lincoln Speaks of the Ancient Giants in North America

Ancient Race of Giant Human Discovered in Marion County, Ohio

Ancient Race of Giant Human Discovered in Marion County, Ohio

The History of Marion County, Ohio (1883)

      As we see, evidence for the occupation of this region before the appearance of the red man and the white race is to be found in almost every part of the country, as well as through the Northwest generally. In removing the gravel bluffs, which are numerous and deep, for the construction and repairs of roads, and in excavating cellars, hundreds of human skeletons, some of them giant form has been found. A citizen of Marion County estimates that there were about as many human skeletons in the knolls of Marion County as there are white inhabitants at present.
