NENAHNEZAD — A reported “Bigfoot” sighting more than a week ago in Nenahnezad has been dismissed by Navajo Nation Police.

According to Lt. Clarence Bilagody of the Navajo Nation Police, Shiprock District, residents said they had witnessed up to three Bigfoot-like creatures roaming a field.

“Yeah, we had that report come in to the office. Some people out there said they saw something hairy,” he said.
Contrary to rumors, the animals did not attack any livestock, according to police.

A member of the Criminal Investigations Division of the Navajo Nation Police took a cast of the footprints left by the alleged Bigfoot.

An analysis conducted by police and Navajo Nation Rangers concluded the animals seen in the field were not the elusive creatures residents thought they were.

“It’s a bear track, no such thing as Bigfoot,” said Capt. Douglas Joe of the Criminal Investigations Division.
According to William Tsosie of Shiprock, Bigfoot doesn’t exist in Navajo culture, per se, but “Yeí’tso,” is a giant, oafish creature similar to the Anglo concept of Bigfoot.

“It means really monstrous,” he said.

Wallace Charley of Shiprock, said according to Navajo legend, Yeí’tso is a “people-eating monster.” He noted the creature is also thought to assist in bringing rain to the Navajo people.

WINTER HAVEN — It’s had more sightings than Elvis.

They call it Yeti in Nepal, Yowie in Australia and Sasquatch in Canada. In Florida, it’s called Swamp Ape, Skunk Ape, Stink Ape or Stink Man. More plainly put, Bigfoot.

For one man, finding the creature has become like searching for the Holy Grail, and he is teaming up with other believers the first week in November for a field research class through Florida Keys Community College. He hopes to bring back proof of its existence.

“I know it’s there. I know it on several levels,” said Scott Marlowe, a founder of Pangea Institute in Winter Haven and instructor of an online class in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that may or may not exist, through Florida Keys Community College.

TESLIN, Yukon - It was a quiet night in Teslin when the woods began to crackle and the dogs started to howl.

Melvin Harper heard it, and saw a figure flitting near a neighbour’s light post, then through a forested island next to the log houses in this Yukon town of 400.

“It was something big, about eight feet tall. It’s black, hairy, muscular. It was huge,” he said. “He was, like, teasing us, making noises in the bush, coming back and forth.

“It freaks me out that they do have stuff like that out there, that you never seen in your life before. And that big means they are breeding.”

“It was like a sasquatch,” said Tom Dickson, who also saw the creature. “Like how you see it on TV, how they advertise it — the same image. You can’t see no eyes, nothing, just black, but it was moving pretty fast.

“It was a shocking feeling, like if you see a bear.”

It’s at least the third sighting of a bush creature in Teslin in a year, leading locals to surmise that perhaps a sasquatch — or a family of them — has migrated north from more typical haunts in northern California and the interior of B.C.

BURLINGAME, CA “The elusive creature known as Bigfoot may not be elusive for very much longer,” according to C. Thomas Biscardi, a Bigfoot explorer and founder of the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization.

In the next few days, Biscardi will begin an investigation into a cavernousarea near Happy Camp, California, in which he expects to find evidence of Bigfoot inhabitation and hopefully be able to contain and capture a live creature.

“In one case, a chunk of alleged Bigfoot hair has been sent to Vancouver for DNA testing.”

The legendary creature “Bigfoot” has been spotted again, this time in Canada, where nine people in the Yukon community of Teslin claim to have seen the legendary creature.

According to the CBC, the witnesses, some of whom are children, saw the hairy, human-like creature pass in front of a house window, and then later behind an abandoned car near some houses last weekend.

Those who claim to have seen Bigfoot, which is also known as a sasquatch, said they heard trees snapping and creaking despite the lack of wind at the time. They say the figure was running too quickly for them to keep up with it.

It wasn’t Bigfoot.

That big, hairy creature spotted by Clare County sheriff’s deputies on Harding Road north of M-115 wasn’t the mythical, frightening stalker of the North Woods.

…

“State Police, along with another sheriff’s car, arrived shortly afterward,“ Miller said. The deputies and trooper wanted to make sure the people running into the woods weren’t breaking into residences, a problem in rural Clare County.

“It was confirmed that the people running in the woods and the man dressed in the stringy outfit belonged there,“ Miller said. He said deputies explained that seeing a large, hairy creature standing by the road might prove distracting for passing drivers, and that wasn’t a good idea.

Well, by the time you read this, the mystery of Bigfoot could be solved.

You see, while perusing the wire seeking inspiration for this week’s column topic, I ran across a story headlined, “Bigfoot — Imminent capture anticipated.”

After recovering from the horror of an editor using a dash in a headline, I read on.

It seems two recent sightings from “very credible witnesses,” and a night of investigation by two Bigfoot researchers, have lead to a forecast of capture or at least of recovering undisputable evidence.
