CRYPTOLINK: East Texas home to majority of Bigfoot sightings
A word about cryptolinks: we are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting (sometimes for the wrong reasons), usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.
What was that snap in the woods? Could it have been a Sasquatch?
(TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH) - East Texas is home to a variety of animals, but some people claim there is a creature lurking under the canopy of pines and hardwoods, in the swampy areas and in some cases not far from major populated areas such as Tyler.
The creature has various names, such as the Woolybooger, Saquatch, the Old Man and of course Bigfoot.
As a movie crew wraps up filming in the Mineola area on a movie titled "The Bigfoot Wars," the tales of the elusive creature start to creep back into our minds.
What was that snap in the woods? Could it have been a Sasquatch?
Former Texas Park and Wildlife Game Warden Chris Green chuckled and said he had talked to many people who had claimed they had seen something they believed could have been the creature.
"You go into the deer camps and you'll hear stories about how someone saw one of them. There are a lot of people that swear they have seen something, but a lot of it is just old folklore," he said.
But believers point to the hundreds of sightings across the nation over the past decade — and the Tyler area is not immune to the sightings.
The Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy (TBRC), claims East Texas is home to the majority of reported sightings, partly due to the vast amounts of forested land and ample water supply.

THE GONZO BLOG DOO-DAH MAN RECUPERATES
The more eagle-eyed amongst you may have
noticed that I am posting this insanely early in the morning. Well, insanely
early for me, that is. I chatted to Rob Ayling for a couple of hours last night,
then ate a curry and settled down to watch my nightly dose of Wodehouse
Playhouse via YouTube. Corinna and I went to bed just before three, accompanied
by the retinue of large dog, small dog and two kittens that seems to accompany
my lovely wife wherever she goes these days. I tried to settle to sleep, but I
don't know whether it was fighting the animals for a minuscule corner of the
quilt, or what, but I couldn't sleep. So I came downstairs at about 5:00am and
pootled about for a while before deciding that I might as well just get on with
the tasks of the day...
