April Fools: Bigfoot Sighting On Campus

Several students reported seeing a “hairy being” in the Kenneth E. Bell Nature Trail on Wednesday, March 26 around 10:30 p.m. The Outsider spoke with one student in particular—who has asked to remain anonymous due to paranoia over this “being” finding him out. 

“It was really weird looking. Like I thought it was a tree at first, but then it started moving,” the individual says. 

Speculations and confusion about the incident have raised several questions. One wonders how they could be sure of what they saw with it being so dark out. 

“It was really dark, but I used the flame from my lighter to see,” the individual says in response. “It was something really hairy, and as I was running away, I thought, ‘oh my gosh,’ that was Bigfoot.” 

The students involved with the sighting said they reported the finding after first going to McDonald’s. 

“We were pretty hungry, so we figured we’d get some food and hash things out before telling people what we saw,” the student says. 

The reported sighting has created a lot of commotion among students and staff members as the students who reported the sighting are positive of their findings. Campus police felt the need to look into the theories of Bigfoot lurking on campus due to the stir that it has created. They have since released a statement: 

“After looking into the recent accusations of a Big Foot sighting on campus, we were left with zero sightings and only a slight skunk smell lingering in the area.”

The students who reported the discovery are sticking to their stories and are determined to find this creature. 

“We’re starting a Bigfoot search party, we’re meeting in the parking lot next to the trail. We’re totally gonna be like the mystery gang, Shaggy and Scoob,” he says. 

Any students or staff interested in joining in on this search can meet at the parking lot at 4:20 p.m. on Saturday, April 5.
