In North Carolina, Bigfoot Crossed the Road

Bigfoot caught on tape?

A Shelby, North Carolina man claims to have a video of the legendary Bigfoot.

Thomas Byers was driving with a friend when he says he saw Bigfoot cross Golden Valley Church Road in Rutherford County Tuesday evening. Naturally, he whipped out his video camera and was able to capture a five-second video from about 15 to 20 feet away.

"It ran across the road and into the woods right in front of us and I was able to film it," Byers wrote in an e-mail to WCNC NewsChannel 36 in Charlotte, N.C. "In the short video you can hear it snarl or growl at me."

And Bigfoot, it seems, is in desperate need of a shower. "One thing I know is the smell of it was horrid. It smelled like a cross between road kill and a skunk. And it did not like the fact that I was there on the road with it. In the video you can hear it snarl or growl at me as it crosses the road."

Byers details the event on a personal website where he has posted the video plus a few pictures. In the description, he explains that Bigfoot, or Knobby as it's known locally, has been "spotted for years."

Commenters on his site remained divided over the authenticity of the video.

"Unfortunately, until one is captured or killed and delivered to a lab, nothing can be proven," said online user 'Mike'. "Any sighting could be staged, or a prank by someone in a primate-like costume."

"I personally believe you," said 'Luke'. "But if you want to convince the skeptics out there you need a better video and physical evidence such as droppings."

That's the stupidest thing I ever heard, or saw (channeling Groucho Marx) .

I mean, who ever imagined Bigfoot was actually only four feet tall?!

I'm pretty sure it was one of the Banana Splits but the picture is so poor it's not possible to tell which one.

One thing is certain, we are all going to peg Bozo Byers' hit count.

It smelled like a cross between road kill and a skunk.

Not sure why such a creature, if it exists, would smell that bad unless the thing dines on dead skunks. I've been near deer in the woods and I thought they smelled like a wet blanket. Musty, but not awful.

It looked to me like Big Foot was trying to get across the street because he was about to sh*t his pants.

Agree, that you could not have produced a worse hoax.

I’m pretty sure this is just some local yokel dressed up in a Michelle suit.

OK, I admit it. I was lost in the woods.

Lol. But can you explain why you smelled like roadkill and skunks? And when was the last time you shaved yourself? ;-) lol....

That’s pathetic. I would be ashamed to let anyone see that.

You’re confusing Sasquatch with Wookies, a common enough error.

Well, I’m convinced. That blurry picture that some cynics might say is a short man in a gorilla outfit is definitely Bigfoot. And I have a bridge in Brooklyn I’d like to sell you.

Nah, there’s a smile behind the eyes of that guy in the Sasquatch getup. Look at Michelle’s eyes sometime—nothing but rage back there.

I agree. The only time the rage in her eyes disappears is when she is stuffing her fat a$$ with greasy foods.

Did someone hire you to troll FR looking for repeat posts, or something? This is the second time I've seen you do this tonight.

You're off to a weird start here, noob.

Look at his posting history, a large majority of his posts are him pointing out that the article has already been posted.
