Broken trees have some thinking Bigfoot

Several residents around Michigan's Tobico Marsh say the recent appearance of broken trees may be the handiwork of Bigfoot. Regional artist Lynn Conley told the Bay City (Mich.) Times that when she and a friend discovered between 15 to 20 oak and poplar trees snapped off near the marsh last month, her immediate thoughts were of the mythical creature.
"I looked at it really carefully," the 52-year-old said of the group of trees. "I thought at first it might have been a bear. But there were no claw marks, just snaps.
"My first inclination was Bigfoot," she added. "Honestly, it was so weird. The air was eerie. It was something I can't even hardly describe."
Bay City State Recreation Area official Mike Evanoff dismissed the claims, but did recognize the positive impact a resident Bigfoot would have on the region.
"There's probably a logical explanation," he told the Times.
"I think if we did have a Bigfoot sighting that would be very beneficial," he added, "then we could put some tours together and have a promotional opportunity for the park and the community."

PETA has been a little slow to pick up on the fact that Mr. Ditter raises rodeo bulls, I would hate to alert them to us by buying a bigfoot hunt! I can see the protesters picketing my house in bunny costumes.
hummmmmmm I wonder if my Jack Russel Terriers would chase PETA bunnies?

Elephants break down trees. Maybe it's invisible woolly mammoths and mastodons and they only become visible when fossilized.

I saw Bigfoot once. 1951 back in Sequoia National Park. Had a foot on him thirty-seven inches heel to toe. It made a sound I would not want to hear twice in my life.

Thanks pcottraux for the ping, and presidio9 for the topic. Bigfoot sightings are unusual in Michigan, though not unheard of. There was one over by Lowell (ten or so miles from here) about fifteen years ago. Bay City area is more rural than this.

Stantz: "Symmetrical book stacking -- just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947."
Venkman: "Right. No human would stack books this way."
