    Thanks to my GF for the birthday gift, this is what I have in my backyard.

    I get to see Garden Yeti all the time now!

    "Witnesses have described the beast as being about 5ft tall and say that it walks on two legs."

    Don't cancel Kristin Chenowith's next show. She will become angry.

    It's only going to get harder and harder to find crappy cameras.

    What are the wackjobs going to do when they can't produce blurry videos? Learn how to us a Mac so they can add a blurry filter?

    It's a crow. The "arms" are wings facing forward mid flight. You can clearly see that it is in front of the flowers and vegetation.

    @smurph0404: I'd promote you if I could - that looks EXACTLY like what you're talking about. What's the thing in the camera that looks like it belongs to NASA though?

    Oh and my dog likes to pace back and forth making a hole with his paws to poop in. It looks remarkably like the "foot" picture. Which also happens to be a crappy shot.

    It could actually be a gorilla. People buy exotic pets all the time only to discover that a wild animal doesn't make the best companion. So, they dump them in the wild. For example, a few months ago in Florida, a zebra calf was found on the side of the highway munching on grass.

    Being from Kentucky I also note another "odd" thing about a Sasquatch being in that location. Jefferson County is the home of Louisville, the 14th largest urban area in the country. The footprint for the city covers all of Jefferson County and extends into every county around Louisville. Not exactly a ideal habitate for a large bi-pedal animal to go undiscovered.

    Kentucky. That's hilarious on so many levels, since the vast majority of Sasquatch sightings have taken place in Northern California. That sasquatch is a little lost, no?

    @Smeagol92055: I reported this to the authorities but they laughed at me, but I took a United flight out of Seattle to Kentucky and there was a sasquatch on the plane. He said he needed a fresh start.

    @Smeagol92055: Are you kidding me? The guy must have like a million frequent flyer miles by now. Kentucky, California, Sumatra, dyes his fur white and summers in the himalyas as a Yeti. Bet he flies first class for free all the time. That way, there's so many fewer passengers to hide from.

    @Dr Emilio Lizardo: Maybe he's even got his pilot license. Great place to hide, you rarely see who's up there in the cockpit. He even comes on the intercom and updates you on flight information..

    That's not a ghost. And it's not a woman, either.

    Hm. Long coat. Absurdly long scarf. Mop of curly hair on top of the head...

    All that's missing is a little robotic dog shaped like a toaster.

    "because no contemporary woman would ever dress like this."


    Clearly the expert quoted has never been to Cardiff, for as far as I was able to tell, there ain't much to do there except cosplay. To wit: this photograph I took at the Millenium Centre last month.

    C'mon you guys. Certainly the rift in Cardiff could lead to all sorts of strange activity that Google happened to pick up.


    Shoot. Am I mixing up fiction with real life again?

    It's a viral marketing ploy for a Laudinum and lacework website.
