"Certified monster-hunting nut Rick Dyer claims he has shot and killed Bigfoot. Seriously, maybe.
Not only that, he’s traveling around with the giant hair body of the beast.
Oh, and he’s posted a pic of the body. Here it is:

"FAIRDALE,
KY (WAVE) - Conspiracy theorist have tried to prove the possibility of
aliens, sea monsters, and even shape shifters, now there is a mystery
Jefferson County. Kenny Mahoney, born and raised in Fairdale, snapped a
picture of what some people are calling Big Foot.
His hunting
camera, which is operated by a motion detector, normally picks up
rabbits, deer and turkeys, but on September 1 around 2:15 p.m. it picked
up a strange image that looks like some sort of large black creature,
one Mahoney estimates taller than he.
"It looked like it had the
outline of a head, and like gorilla type shoulders, and then the arms
crossed is what it looks like to me," said Mahoney.
Mahoney said
it would be very hard for him to believe Big Foot is living in his
backyard, but is stumped as to what else it could be.
"One of
the explanations my brother-in-law said it may be a garbage bag blowed
up in there, but all the smashed over vegetation in there-I really don't
know," said Mahoney. "I have no idea what it is."
Mahoney's
wife Margaret sent the photo to a wildlife expert who specializes in
black bears. She said it looks like it is fur and not a trash bag, but
still cannot confirm it is a bear."
"Jason Lorefice (the man shown below in the photo) says, “The
tracks were in Bridgewater MA outside the Hockomock swamp near Lake
Nipp.
I was down there last month on vacation, and I was mountain biking in
the swamp area. I found a series of tracks going accross a corn field
leading into the swamp.
The stride was approximately 87 inches in length. The cast came out to be 18 inches x 7 inches.”
"It has been the stuff of legends for as long as hikers have been traipsing through the wilderness.
But whether you believe this figure caught on camera by hikers in the
Canadian wilderness is actually the legendary Bigfoot, or just a man in
an ape suit, is all a matter of opinion.
Either way the sighting of the figure, which appears covered in thick
black hair and is seen lumbering across the mountain top, has sparked
plenty of excitement among Bigfoot fans.
In the footage the figure walks from the trees into the open, pausing briefly before disappearing back into the trees.
It remains unclear exactly where the video was shot but it is
believed to have been filmed on a trail near Mission, in British
Columbia.
The footage has been viewed thousands of times on YouTube with
believers claiming it is evidence that the ape-like creature, known as
sasquatch, actually exists.
But scientists have dismissed the Bigfoot theory, claiming it is a mixture of a hoax, folklore and incorrect identification."
