What is causing the stir? Most likely North Carolina’s new Knobby video. Loren Coleman was one of the first to report the video here at Cryptomundo.

More recently MSNBC and NBC affiliates have covered the story with differing opinions. You can read more about the Google Search trends for “bigfoot” or read about NBC Journalist infighting at BigfootLunchClub.com.
