My father grew up in Indian Town and used to tell me stories that the Indians had told him. One of the most fascinating was the story of the “Skunk Ape” which is Florida’s version of the Sasquatch. I have grown up hoping that maybe there really was such a creature, though the evidence does not seem very compelling at this point. I keep looking for better evidence.
Alas I was disappointed again this week when claims of two good old boys from Northern GA announced that they had a body of a Bigfoot in a freezer. While the small, out of focus photos that made their way out from these two men looked an awfully lot like a costume made by a company called Bump in the Night (http://www.bumpinthenightproductions.com/default.asp). Here are photos of both the Bigfoot in the freezer and the head of the costume. The first photo is a close up of the photo from the two men in Georgia who have claimed to have found a Bigfoot body (after first claiming that it was shot with a 30.06 rifle, dragged out of the woods, and then kept in a freezer. The two men attempted to freeze the creature/costume into a block of ice by filling the freezer up with water. The fact that it was a frost free freezer seems to have gotten by them and the water shorted out the freezer. You can see a photo of the full “body” at http://www.coasttocoastam.com if you haven’t seen enough yet. A second site is http://www.cryptomundo.com run by a very credible researcher name Loren Coleman. You might also check out the book by Jeff Meldrum Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science. This is perhaps the best book on the Bigfoot phenomenon that has ever been written.

I expect to hear that the body has been stolen, rotted and had to be thrown away, or some version of a story that indicates that the primary individuals have been “hoaxed.” The press conference on Friday was a bust with only a picture of the beast given out and the reporters told that the body was “in a secret secure location (perhaps with Dick Chaney). I have smelled a hoax from the very start, but one never knows.
You be the judge as you look at the Bigfoot first at the Coast to Coast AM site, and the costume second right below..
Keep an eye out for the beast, but I have my doubts about it’s existence. If you have any stories to tell me, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
And for all of you who are wondering, no this is not a picture of me during the summer when I did not shave. I have never had this much hair on my head.
