Remember the Bigfoot in the Freezer?

With our “world” seemingly “swirling the drain”, how interesting, how important, really, is the discovery of bigfoot/sasquatch? Odd as it may seem, plenty of people are interested in the subject. How do we know? For one, the first program “Finding Bigfoot”, on the TV channel, Animal Planet claimed that channel’s highest program rating in its history. And if you were like me, you just couldn’t wait for the two guys from Georgia’s CNN Announcement in 2008 (you know, the guys claiming to have a dead bigfoot body in a freezer). How important the discovery of bigfoot will be, remains to be seen.

 Will the discovery result in a negative impact on an already floundering economy when and if vast swathes of pristine forest lands are set aside for the animal’s protection? No small number believes this is exactly what will happen.

    

You may, however, find this interesting: These same guys from Georgia are back and still claiming that they did indeed have a bigfoot body in a freezer. The men are publishing videos on Youtube endeavoring to explain what happened to the body. And, most amazing of all, why they felt they needed to devise the hoax, the joke on us all.

 No matter how you feel about the men and the 2008 hoax, the retelling of what happened by them is compelling. If the men are telling the truth, do you really want to be the one to discover a bigfoot body? They claim, with straight faces, that they were threatened with prison and more. 

And that a group of men in black suits knocked on the door and demanded to be let in to one of the men’s homes. In a room of the house, a meeting of all the men involved in the retrieving of the animal was in progress.   Thick folders containing photos of the men’s families, some or all the men, it wasn’t clear on the video, were thrown down with great drama. Threats ensued and the men’s plans of being the discoverers of bigfoot evaporated.

 So, to save face, to explain their claim of a dead body, the men came up with the idea of a hoax. After all, hoaxes were common where the discovery of bigfoot was concerned. Isn’t that right?

    

If nothing else, the discovery of bigfoot is entertaining. Don’t you think? 

Until next week, Linda Newton-Perry
