Damariscotta, Maine – A huge figure entirely covered in hair suddenly appeared in a Maine town. Multiple emergency calls were placed to the police, who had to investigate and launched a truly unusual "Bigfoot" hunt.
In the small coastal town of Damariscotta, Maine, an unusual visitor caused a stir.
Several residents took photos of a large, hairy figure.
Sasquatch? Yeti? Bigfoot? The police received so many reports that the officers even mentioned an uncommonly large number of calls in a statement.
Officer William Smith set out to investigate and actually found his target.
He didn’t have to venture far into the wilderness, though – the "Bigfoot" in question was sitting calmly on Main Street.
Instead of arresting him for his suspiciously thick fur, Smith sat down with him and started a conversation.
It didn’t go unnoticed for long: excited residents kept coming by, eager to snap photos with the supposed mythical creature.
In the end, the investigation’s conclusion was clear: beneath the fur was simply a human man in a costume.
The fake Bigfoot wasn’t arrested, as police found no evidence of a crime or any sinister intent. What law says you can't be hairy?
Apparently, the officers found this result a bit disappointing – some had secretly hoped to finally discover something that would earn them nationwide headlines!
