Big Foot? Sasqwatch, Yeti -- Are They Hiding Near You?

As a native Pennsylvanian, I remember a very long time ago when "something very big and hairy" was seen by various people in the nearby woods. It was taken so seriously that no one was supposed to be permitted around the area and the recreational activities were shut down. Nothing was ever revealed if anything was ever found.

Everyone wondered if it could be Big Foot sightings. The illusive creature probably does exist (somewhere, but Pennsylvania?) The creature is known by various names such as Sasqwatch, Yeti or Big Foot and many more. It really would be interesting to dig into Native American legends in Pennsylvania and other states to see if any stories exist and compare them.

It always pays to be careful driving in our neck of the woods and last night was no exception, between the deer walking the roads, rabbits, foxes, snakes, squirrels, raccoons, skunks, etc., if you aren't careful, your car will be needing fixed or "destunk". I think if I did see a Big Foot I might not even be surprised, probably just grateful to have avoided a collision.

This story recently appeared on a news site down in Pittsburgh that I often check to learn a little about what is happening there. This story is about Elk County with a news video that shows the picture. It doesn't look like a bear to me either.

Check it out and make up your own mind. In any event, it's Halloween today, so enjoy the store but run like hell the other way if you do see one, there aren't any stories of big and stinky hairy critters that are friendly...
