Man puts on Bigfoot costume to drive more donations, local newspaper and police dept. plays along

By -

A man in Forest Lake, MN got this brilliant idea to put on a Bigfoot costume in order to get more people to donate food for a food bank.

Chris Costello created the 'Bigfoot' idea to raise food for Family Pathways in Forest Lake. He was able to get the food shelf, the editor of the paper, and even the police department to play along.

What's amazing is that some people actually believe the story published in Forest Lake Times newspaper actually happened.

"Wait…is this for real? This isn’t the onion?" said one commenter.




Here's one story published on October 19, 2011:

Creature appears again, this time at fitness school in FL’s downtown

Dateline: Forest Lake, MN, Saturday, Oct. 15th: The mysterious, “bigfoot-like” creature has been sighted for a third time in Forest Lake.

Saturday’s report originated from Renaissance Fitness Kettlebell Skool, 95 N. Lake St. After two previous sightings in the southeast area of the business community, the creature turned up last weekend in the downtown area as it appeared to be continuing its hunt for food.

Renaissance Fitness Kettlebell Skool owner James Mortimer, along with personal trainer Angie Brown Zweifel, together witnessed the creature. Mortimer recalls, “Angie and I were comparing notes on some upcoming classes when the thing shambled into the school!”

“It just came right in the front door and started gnawing on one of the kettlebells!” remarked Brown Zweifel.

‘It looked at us and it spoke!” exclaimed Mortimer. “It said ‘“Gree-Akk dum dum eho popo.”’ I have no idea what that means?”

The creature, startled by Mortimer and Brown Zweifel, then ran past the two and bolted out the back door of the school in the direction of Lakeside Park.

“We called the police,” said Brown Zweifel, “but they were unable to track the thing. I can still smell it!”

Police searched the downtown but were unsuccessful in finding the animal. The investigation is ongoing according to Sgt. Greg Weiss of the Forest Lake Police Department. Check back next week as the investigation continues to unfold.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
