Having been born and raised on the Olympic Penninsula I have been exposed to a fair share of big foot hypes and a few sightings that folks were sincere about. We all have heard the ones that get going when two or three people get to feeding off of each others hysteria and make a big stump or snag move around on the other side of a clear cut Those sometimes get the most press and once I saw a couple of college kids go back to the scene and tear down the stump but a local saw them do it an went and called the press and with a photographer present he put the big old snag back together with scrap lumber and chicken wire. Damned thing sure looked like a big old stand on two hind legs kinda beast. The other kind are the ones that I find interesting I was at a social gathering over 20 years ago and a Sioux native who had worked as Park Ranger in Olympic National Park out at Ozzette Lake swears up and down that he ran into one that was totaly pissed off at a small band of elk, and was focused on whatever the hell it was he was doing, that Dan was able to walk right up on the whole fiasco. Claim was that when every thing got his wind all animals did what they usually do and dissapered into the coastal jungle. But hell there are people swear up and down they have been in space ships. There are even people who think one brand of boat is better than the next go figure.
