Bigfoot was always in the news in the 70s.
Probably cause of the TV show, Six Million Dollar man.
Andre the Giant played Big Foot.
Bigfoot was like UFO's back then.
I haven't heard much about it since.
I don't know how to get threads started, but saw in our Seattle newspaper an article on an 'apelike" foot found in a landfill in Spotsylvania (in the state of Pennsylvania?). Here's a comment from another website:
FREDERICKSBURG -- The apelike foot found in a Spotsylvania County landfill still has folks scratching their heads.
Spotsylvania Sheriff Howard Smith said yesterday that he plans to send the foot to an as-yet-undetermined expert for further examination. "So we can find out what it is," he said.
Already, word of the find is making the rounds on Internet sites dedicated to Bigfoot sightings and theories.
