Lightning Blew The Bark Off This Tree Last Night

By -

A Reddit user woke up this morning after a lightning storm and found this tree naked in his front yard. (Note to self: Do not stand under a tree during a lightning storm.) Here's an explanation of how lightning can do this via Reddit:

Incidentally, that is also the reason why lightning can do this. The water is pumped through this area, upwards to the leaves. When lightning strikes, it brings this water to a boil, cause a steam explosion which blows the bark from the tree.

      The bark went missing under strange circumstances. The bark was lost from under the nose of other trees.

      This case will be featured in Paulides new Missing 411 book that concentrates on fauna disappearances.

    Unfortunately, the Legend of Sasquatch has blown it's wad over the last few years. So, all we're left with at this point are skinned trees, swamp eels and pathetic hoax attempts. For a lot of you out there that have claimed to have seen the hairy bastard, I still kinda believe you though. Just haven't seen one on here or anything remotely close.

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

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...
