My boy was so excited... he loves to watch Finding Bigfoot on television, and couldn't believe they were doing a show in
Australia!
Of course they didn't find anything there either.
I got a kick out of the Fouke, Arkansas episode since I had worked there and had a close encounter of the bigfoot kind:
We were conducting archaeological test pits on the shore of Boggy Creek as part of the survey for the new interstate. Across the creek from us, to the north, was a low-lying swampy area. One afternoon there was a huge ruckus across in the swamp, splashing, crashing, and all sorts of noises. And then all of a sudden, fleeing the swamp, was a coyote. It ran out of the swamp towards us, leaping into the creek, onto the bank where we were, right past us, and zip, off it ran into the distance.
So what could have spooked that coyote so badly that is was willing to run towards people? I figure it could have
only been a bigfoot.
Only a day later was a weird rabbit encounter too. Walking through some low woodlands near Boggy Creek, a rabbit came running right towards me. It ran up to my boots, literally I could have kicked it, then it raced off in the opposite direction. It came back again and repeated. Then did it again.
I tell ya what, the Boggy Creek Monster has the local wildlife so spooked, the animals don't act right any more. The whole place is squachy, I tell ya.
