Strange creatures?

I attended an unusual event, "Dave's Bigfoot Party," in Huntsville, Weber County, on July 26, with approximately 400 spectators.

Many people told their eyewitness stories of seeing what may have been bigfoot at this event. There wasn't time for at least dozen others to do so.

Do you think there are some strange creatures roaming around Utah's outdoors?

Have you ever seen something simply unexplainable?

I wasn't surprised by the stories told at the event's microphone, as I had heard most of them before. However, I was amazed at the reaction of the crowd.

As I walked around the crowd, I couldn't hear any party goers scoffing in unbelief at the stories being told. There may have been some such people there, by they weren't easy to find.

As I talked to 4 random people after the event was over, they had nothing negative to say about the stories given. In fact, one of the four people told me her own bigfoot experience.

So. there must be a lot of people out there with strange stories to tell, but still fearing ridicule.

I personally have had no such strange experiences, but believe most of the people talking about Utah bigfoot sightings to be telling the truth – they did see something weird.

So, there may be something mysterious out there, though only some sort of paranormal aspect for a bigfoot could explain to me why there is still no concrete evidence of the planet's most elusive creature.
