A father and son in the state of Michigan claim to have spotted the illusive Bigfoot on a fishing trip last month. They says the creature fell out of a nearby tree, shook the ground under them when it landed, and started approaching before their dog managed to scare it off by barking.
“My son said ‘holy shit, what was that?!'” commented the dad, Edward Henry, in a blog post.
The pair say the two-legged bush monster was the size of a large bear and somewhat resembled a gorilla. A group that believes in the beast’s existence, the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO), thinks their alleged encounter is plausible.
“Both are credible and freshly descriptive about what happened,” said BFRO investigator Matthew Moneymaker. “They could see the hairy back and big butt cheeks pretty clearly for a few seconds.”
The entire shocking encounter only lasted about 10 seconds, leaving little time to whip out the camera for snap.
Now, after catching wind of the sighting, a local cannabis dispensary has decided to provide a little bit of incentive for people to capture a photo of the legendary forest monster. Monroe County’s Uniq Cannabis is offering a free joint to anyone who can manage to do so.
The pot shop currently has a sign outside to inform patrons about the minuscule reward.
Rumours about the existence of a local woodland creature, the “Monroe Monster,” have been swirling in the community for decades.
Over 225 Michigan Sasquatch encounters have been reported to the BFRO since the 1970s.
