Documented by Eastern Canada Sasquatch Organization
In 1826 a Halifax newspaper mentions that the Son of John Henderson disappeared from a rural family home. The four-year-old got lost in the woods and wasn’t located until the following Wednesday.
‘The article stated that four hundred people were searching for the boy, but it was the boy’s father and his servant who found the boy as they were walking through the woods, and the boy recognized the servant.’
The boy was found ‘seated under a pile of hemlock windfall, completely embosomed on a thicket.’ The child had eaten sorrel and had water.
The more interesting part of this story is what was found after the Son of John Henderson was located. During the search, rescuers came across a ‘wildman’. The Indiana Journal article describes the individual: “He was discovered in the most deplorable state of exhaustion, having lost the power of utterance; his face was black, his mouth filled with leaves and berries which he had neither the power of swallowing or spitting out - his body exhibited the appearance of a skeleton. He was conveyed to the nearest house – and in a few moments after, he died.”
David Paulides highlighted the fact that many of the stories he covers have berries involved with them in some way. The man had berries in his mouth.
An article from the Bangor Register dating from October 26, 1826 added some information regarding the lost man: “It is said to be a common thing for people to be lost in the wilds of Nova Scotia.”
