Expect an uptick in Bigfoot sightings

At some point in your childhood, you probably decided you’d had enough of the tyranny of living in a loving family home where your every need is met. I recall doing that myself at about age 7. I gathered all my favorite children's books and prepared to exit through the back door of the house. That was as far as I got. The books were too heavy to carry by myself. Plus, it was night time, and it was scary outside. I decided to endure the tyranny a little longer. Long enough to have a hot chocolate, anyway. So much for rebellion.

I always assumed that running away from home was something that only children did. Recently, I learned otherwise. I read a story about a gardener named Malcolm Applegate of Birmingham, England, who ran away from home 10 years ago. Applegate is 62 years old. He ran away from home because his wife was nagging him too much. He lived in the woods southwest of London and worked by tending a garden in a community center for the elderly.

Applegate didn’t say anything to anyone before he left. He didn’t get a divorce, or a separation or an annulment. He didn’t call anyone in his family to let them know what he was planning, and he didn’t even leave a note for his nagging wife. Applegate just walked out the door and disappeared.

Millions of men from all over the planet are reading this story with keen interest. “Can you really do that?” asks every hen-pecked man from London to L.A. Great. Now that this story has broken internationally, I assume the woods will soon be flooded with men who just never thought of walking out the front door and hiding in the bushes.

Granted, living in the woods in the United Kingdom is not like living in the woods anywhere in the United States. Sleeping in a British wilderness is the equivalent of living on Tom Sawyer Island at Disney World. British forests don't include all the same life-threatening creatures such as poisonous snakes, mountain lions, or Bigfoot.

There has been an increase in the number of Bigfoot sightings recently. Several of the creatures have been sighted near Avocado Lake in Fresno County, California. One local farmer claimed he saw five of them running across his property. One of them had a pig slung over his shoulder, but was running so fast he tripped over an irrigation pipe causing the pig to fly through the air.

Five running Bigfoots and a flying pig. Just another typical day in Fresno.

According to self-named paranormal expert, Jeffrey Gonzalez of the Sanger Paranormal Society, this was one of three separate Bigfoot sightings in the same area over the last five years. The first call came from a woman who said her sons had seen one of the creatures in her orchard. A few years later, a man reported five more in the same grove.

Gonzalez asks, “What are the odds of three people, three different families, who don’t know each other, within a radius of two to three miles, come and tell me what they witness and it matches up?” Well, I think the odds depend on how many nagging wives live in Fresno County.

Now that the story of Malcolm Applegate has broken, I expect Bigfoot sightings to increase exponentially. I wouldn’t be surprised if we soon start getting reports of groups of Bigfoots seen playing sandlot football in the woods. There might be a pile of children’s books nearby as well.

Must be a big demand for ultra low quality phones with prehistoric cameras so its impossible to debunk staged pics.

“Expect an uptick in Bigfoot sightings...”

Yeah, because the MSM will use this as BS deflection of their cronies and masters going down. You’ll see a big See-BS report on Bigfoot, but nothing on the Uranium Bagman Mueller or Killary cashing in on Uranium One.

As a youngster I believed in Big Foot and flying saucers. Carried a good camera with me for decades in case I could be so lucky as to encounter either. Never did.

Today, the vast majority of people carry high quality cameras in their cell phones. Virtually nothing now happens worldwide without digital images captured from cell phones, dash cams, surveillance videos, etc. If either Big Foot or flying saucers exist, we would have much verifiable photographic evidence.

Yes, they may have once existed, but they didn't survive or make return trips.
