July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |

The Bar is Always Open from Andre](https://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/badges/group-The_Blogging_Banana_Bar-2246010_9.gif)  Who Knew that the big foot legend was so involved. Apparently, there are written sightings of Sasquatch off and on since the 1920's. The references for this article are from History.com and YouTube. History.com seems to have become involved in an effort to find out if any of the sightings and stories of Bigfoot are authentic You Tube has quite a few short viewing tapes of what different people put forth as proof of the existence of a large primate type of creature that walks upright. I became interested because these types of stories are being carried on Facebook. Truth is there are stories from all over the USA. Some of the sightings purported come from Texas, Pennsylvania, California, North Carolina, and most are stories of the creature being seen within heavily forested areas. One of such a creature was seen by a couple of women whose vehicle was stuck in the sand on the peninsula of Southern Lake Erie. It was dusk or early dark when a strange light was visible; then a Hugh hairy creature pounded on the van as the terrified women took shelter inside it. When rescuers came with a tow to remove the van from where it was stuck the vehicle had dents where the attack caused damage to the frame. If you watch the clips from History.com they are intriguing. Some of the supposed sightings and hearings can be identified as hoax but others cannot be identified enough to be sure of a hoax. In 1975 the FBI was asked by Peter Byrne, to analyze some hair fragment which Byrne thought may have come from a Sasquatch. Only as a favor in the interest of DNA proof the FBI analysis found the hair to be from deer. It is not just stories from the USA. In 1951, British explorer Earle Shipton, reported sightings in the Himalayas. Sightings involving this creature are spread around planet earth. It seems as if the sightings are getting more numerous to the point, if it is a real phenomenon, sooner or later someone will come up with a body or DNA or capture one of the beasts. Until then, History.com is getting scientists involved to examine all video and audio of sightings, which are presented to them in an effort to inform the public. Reality check is an ongoing effort. |
