Title: Bigfoot sighting in NC actually just guy in a suit
Post by: Hydra009 on August 10, 2017, 02:31:28 PM
My beloved state (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-40892336), ladies and gentlemen.

QuoteA self-described shaman says a strange creature reportedly spotted in the hills of North Carolina last week was actually him dressed in animal skins.

The "Bigfoot" sighting happened last Friday in the Appalachian mountains, but the story took an even weirder twist with a mistaken identity claim.

Gawain MacGregor says it was him wandering through the forest on the night in question, 4 August.
Oops.  Well, glad that's wrapped up.  Now these Bigfoot witnesses can admit that they were mistaken, have a good laugh over it, and this whole thing will be forgotten.

Nope.  Turns out the witnesses are pure nutsos who couldn't possibly be wrong about this, alleging that Bigfoot "moved with speed unmatched by any human".

Well, at least the shaman doesn't believe in this Bigfoot nonsense.  Right?

QuoteMr MacGregor said he was participating in a "sacrament" of "wearing of hair-covered animal skins and wandering in the forest".

The 36-year-old, who was on holiday from Minnesota, writes on his blog about his personal belief in Bigfoot, or "the divine nature of sasquatch", as he calls it.

He writes that by dressing in sewn animal skins, and by reciting a "sasquatch prayer", he has had several encounters with the beast.
Everyone involved claims to have seen Bigfoot.  In related news, NC has a per capita idiot population that could probably edge out Mississippi.

Everyone loves a myth, even those who hate myths.  Bigfoot is more than a myth.  He's an Institution.  The Irish have leprechauns.  Americans have Bigfoot, and we're damn well proud of it.  The one thing that troubles me is that Bigfoot hasn't been officially assigned a genus and species, you know like Humanus Preposterosi.  The scientific community fails us once again.

Actually, that's not a good enough connection.  Well, real close, it might be.  Not that I tried...
