CRYPTOLINK: Dead Bigfoot Rumors Or Just Bigbear Footprints?


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, usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.
Did someone shoot and kill a Bigfoot in Pennsylvania and then call 911 to say he had proof of the yet-to-be-proven creature?
After confusing reports over the past couple of weeks, it appears this was a case of a story that became mired in rumor and fiction.
Back on May 14, John Winesickle, a resident of Paint Township in Pennsylvania's Somerset County, called 911, claiming to have proof of Bigfoot, according to WTAJ News.
Excerpt from the 911 call:
DISPATCHER: "He wants a police officer to come to his residence. He apparently has proof there of Bigfoot."
OFFICER: "Bigfoot, right?"
DISPATCHER: "That's affirmative. He has evidence proving Bigfoot."
Winesickle showed some footprints to an investigating officer, who concluded the tracks had been made by a bear (see print image below).

When WTAJ suggested they were bear prints to Winesickle, he adamantly refused to believe it.
