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


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.
