A missing Sasquatch statue was just found alone in the woods

A sheriff’s office was looking all over for Bigfoot for months. They finally found him exactly where you’d think he would be: alone in the woods.

Typically if someone calls in a Bigfoot sighting, it would be ignored or maybe even laughed at. But in this case, it was celebrated.

A statue of Sasquatch was taken from a landscaping company in Linville, North Carolina, in August. The Avery County Sheriff’s Office and other people in the area were searching for the statue for months, and someone just found it in a remote area more than 30 minutes away.

 

 

The sheriff’s office said a man named Mike was going through a remote area when he saw Sasquatch. He contacted them, and they were able to find it.

“We feel since Sasquatch seemed unharmed and released in such a remote area, the thieves either had a change of heart or found that having a Sasquatch was just more difficult than they thought,” a news release from the sheriff’s office said.

The statue is 6 feet tall and weighs 180 pounds, so it wouldn’t be easy to carry. Sheriff Kevin Frye told CNN on Thursday that it didn’t seem like the statue had been in that location for very long, and it was probably recently dropped off there.

“It’s typically where you’d think Sasquatches would want to hangout,” Frye said.

For now, Sasquatch is under camera surveillance at the Avery County Sheriff’s Office.

“It is currently residing under camera watch,” he said. “We don’t want it to get away again, so it’s in close quarters.”

Hopefully within the week it will be back at its home at Mountaineer Landscaping, which is trying to pay back an insurance company that covered the loss of the statue. Until its next home is determined, people will be keeping an eye on Bigfoot.

“He wasn’t damaged,” Frye said. “He seems to be in relatively good health.”

    Oh. My. Word. This is 15 mins from my home and the whole county has been wondering who would take it ? I can’t believe I’m seeing this here!!! I think it was a joke or a dare to steal it… But who knows?!? I’m laughing so hard to see our little town here of all places! I’ve joked with my kids for years that I’m gonna take my pic with the statue and print up tee-shirts with it for the family for Christmas… My daughter told me he was stolen by telling me I’d have to come up with a better Christmas gift idea. Now I have to get into the evidence room to do it ? ?

    I have one just like this in the front yard flower and shrub garden area. Mine is about 4 to 4 1/2 feet tall and the sellers brought it too me almost 4 years ago, because they stated it weighed 350 lbs. There is one like this pictured, or at least it was last year, at a business north of me in Fort Loramie, OH.
