  • Summary

  • Amidst the Yellow Fever outbreak and passing of the Quarantine Act of 1878, residents along the Susquehanna River in Wrightsville and Columbia began reporting a strange creature surfacing from the waters between the two towns. Search parties were formed, songs would be written, calls for military and police intervention and boaters would start shooting at the creature.

    This is the story as reported in the newspapers of that time.
