Sighting of 'Big Foot' in Connecticut Was a Hoax
|
FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) -- A Connecticut woman's close encounter with the mythical beast, Sasquatch or Big Foot, turned out to be nothing more than a boy in a costume.
Fairfield police say a woman driving on Unquowa Road last Tuesday night called police to report that she ``almost hit Sasquatch,'' which was standing in the middle of the road.
She told police the hairy beast was 8 feet tall and had ``legs like tree trunks.'' It ran off after she switched her headlights to high beams.
Police say they searched and found a 16-year-old boy dressed in a gorilla-like costume. He told them he was standing at the intersection of Unquowa and Sturges roads, waving at passing cars while friends watched.
He was turned over to his parents.
