This little blurb is about Kipsy, the Hudson River Monster. It was published in Opelika, Alabama's The Times on September 8th, 1886.
Kipsy resides in New York’s Hudson River, of course. It gets its name from the town of Poughkeepsie. The majority of witnesses claim to see multiple humps risen out of the water and sometimes a “snake-like head”. Kipsy had been seen for hundreds of years. The biggest guesses as to what the Hudson River Monster could be is either a manatee or sturgeon misidentification. In 2019, a 14 foot long sturgeon was discovered in the river, leading some to think it was the source of many Kipsy sightings.
