The Lakeside Leader of Slave Lake, Alberta Canada listed as one of its top stories of 2005, a tale of found and photographed footprints.
The Leader covered a story alleging the existence of Bigfoot to start the summer season. Reporter James Boston met with a man (who wishes to remain anonymous) and examined pictures of what could be interpreted as Bigfoot’s footprint. The mythos surrounding Bigfoot, or Sasquatch, if you prefer, goes back more than 70 years. To date, no hard evidence has been brought forward to validate the hominid’s existence.
The original article detailed a sighting in the area, as well as the footprint find.
No hard evidence? The footprint casts, hair and scat samples point to a North American primate. I find it harder to believe that every eyewitness account is a case of mistaken identity or hoaxing, that every track found was made by someone tramping around with over-sized wooden feet, than it is to believe that the animal is out there…
