Bigfoot Spotted in Nebraska

By Peter Bokulich

It looks like the bigfoot population has spread to Nebraska:

A 15-year-old reported seeing the creature, which he said stood about 7 feet tall on two legs as it ran in front of the vehicle the youth was driving about 5:30 a.m. The creature then disappeared into the trees along the river. (link)

It’s not clear from the article whether the 15-year old had been up all night, or whether he or she was up early.

It seems, though, that not all bigfoot reports are genuine Sasquatch sightings:

Luben said he has fielded two previous reports of Bigfoot sightings in his nearly 24 years with Game and Parks. One, he said, turned out to be a rabbit that had left big tracks in the snow. The tracks were misidentified by a Dwight-area resident who had recently moved to the area from Chicago.
