BIGFOOT TRAPPED BY NORCAL FANATIC!
The only clue to what snagged them: A black-haired “shoulder,” seen, incredibly, leaving the scene at 6:07 p.m.
Something “reached” eight feet up a tree!
This absolutely screamed “opposable thumb.”
Cryptozoology Now
Look around Humboldt County: We live in Bigfoot country. PGF may be growing long in the tooth, but everything from tow trucks, parcel couriers, donut shops and a major highway (Highway 96) reiterate our heritage as Bigfoot’s neighbors.
Bigfoot lives. And yet, the flesh-and-blood creature remains tabloid fare.
Ask yourself: Would you risk strapping infra-red game cameras and pouches of chicken innards to UN-protected redwoods? I did. Charles Darwin definitely would have.
Dr. Grover Krantz said that “a few dozen specialists” would probably get funding to go into the field to gather more data when, and if, Bigfoot was finally proven real. Krantz certainly didn’t suggest Bigfooting as a viable career. Regarding other HumCo livelihoods, though, Krantz was even less sanguine.
