The legendary creature "Bigfoot" has been spotted again, this time in Canada, where nine people in the Yukon community of Teslin claim to have seen the legendary creature.
According to the CBC, the witnesses, some of whom are children, saw the hairy, human-like creature pass in front of a house window, and then later behind an abandoned car near some houses last weekend.
Those who claim to have seen Bigfoot, which is also known as a sasquatch, said they heard trees snapping and creaking despite the lack of wind at the time. They say the figure was running too quickly for them to keep up with it.
"He ran through the backyard, and that's when I seen him," said one man who was on his porch at the time. "You could see a big, black thing go by, and you couldn't see no head or nothing. So, I figured it was somebody messing around."
"We weren't gonna tell anybody at first 'cause we thought everybody was gonna look at us and say we're all snakin' out or we're crazy," said another eyewitness. "It wasn't too much fun explaining it at first, but once everybody starts believing us, it's not so bad. They wanted to see the track, they wanted to see the pictures, they wanted to see the hair and stuff like that. ... I wouldn't want to run into him in a dark, back alley or anything like that. Geez, it stands over ten feet tall, [it would] proabably tear my head off or something."
The men said some evidence was left, including a footprint about twice the size of a human print, and a patch of hair which has already been sent to a conservation officer in Whitehorse for possible DNA review.
I don't know if there's such a thing as Bigfoot or not - but I find it fun to think there is.
A friend of mine is a Washington State conservation officer. I know of at least one time where he and a state biologist travelled 3 hours (one way) to some guys farm to retrieve a hair sample off a fence from a "bigfoot" and scout around a bit.
Although I think it's interesting that they would study the hair - I wish they would have told the guy to mail it in. Our tax money at work. (Never heard what the results were. I guess if they were a bigfoot we all would have heard!)
"Follow the stench."
Heck, all that usually gets you is a bum
or a Frenchman.
Whoever is dressing up to do this, is lucky that these guys didn't want to take home a trophy bigfoot with a rifle.
This will be the topic of the first hour of Coast[tocoastam.com], formerly know as Art Bell.
Ron jeremy is not known for his bigfoot but his big
oh never mind
What?!!! Eyewitness testimony, footprints, and hair??!! I BELIEVE!!!!!!
Where's the scat!!
Any high school biology graduate would know that where there are beasts ( of earthbound nature ) there's scat. Excrement is evidence, dismiss the sightings they are words and imagination. If such creatures exist, on earth, there must be evidence of food consumption and a few 'dump' sites to confirm the habitat and where they are on the food chain - haven't seen any wookies at McD's have you?
WOW! Thanks for the photo. Without that clear an convincing evidence I would have been prepared to doubt the validity of the claim. LOL
There would also be one strapped to the hood of a redneck pickup one day. SOMEONE would have hit one and brought it in.
It's a widely known fact that Bigfeet don't evacuate. That's how they get so big. They are a billious lot.
It's also a widely known fact that if we aren't careful, we are going to kill them off through global warming. Bigfeet hate global warming.
"When you have a village of these creatures you would use the term Bigfeet."
It Takes A Village.....of Bigfeet to convince me.
(Sorry, very lame, I know. Could not resist)
I'd bet a .308 would stop a Bigfoot. I'd have one ready to go if I lived in the woods.
Maybe they roam around with a plastic bag and pick up after themselves...
You know we all jest BUT if some big hairy critter shows up in the middle of the night on my place way out in the Ozark forest, there will be PLENTY of scat to analyze...!
It would be really funny if Michael Moore's or Ted Kennedy's image was in there.
