Well they have a better chance of finding bigfoot in the woods of Michign than at the Mall of America.

MANISTIQUE, Michigan
Researchers will visit Michigan’s Upper Peninsula next month to search for evidence of the legendary creature known as “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch.”

The expedition will focus on eastern Marquette County, said Matthew Moneymaker of the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization.

“We’ll be looking for evidence supporting a presence. … We hope to meet local people who might have seen a Sasquatch or heard of someone else who had an encounter,” Moneymaker told the Daily Press of Escanaba.

The legend of Bigfoot dates back centuries. But skeptics have challenged accounts of sightings, and practical jokers have staged hoaxes that have included grainy film footage of people dressed in costumes.

But Moneymaker said members of his organization have either glimpsed Bigfoot or gotten close enough to hear the creature in all but three of 30 expeditions in the United States and Canada.

The late Grover Krantz, a Washington State University professor who specialized in cryptozoology, the study of creatures that have not been proven to exist, believed Bigfoot was a “gigantopithecus,” a branch of primitive man believed to have existed 3 million years ago.

What a great place to have a music festival! and what a wonderful way to go.

Loch Ness rock festival declared a success despite man’s death

A man found unconscious in his car at a Loch Ness rock festival has died.

The 39-year-old from Tayside, who has not been named, was discovered by a member of the public in the early hours of yesterday.

Police and ambulance staff tried to resuscitate him, but he died shortly after arriving at Raigmore Hospital.

There were no suspicious circumstances, said a spokesman for Northern Constabulary. A report will be submitted to the procurator fiscal, he added.

Meanwhile, seven people were arrested on Saturday for various offences, including drugs charges and breach of the peace. However, the second Rock Ness Festival has been hailed as a success otherwise.

The event, on the shores of Loch Ness, started at 12pm on Saturday and wrapped up around 11pm last night.

More than 60 acts, including the Manic Street Preachers, Daft Punk and the Chemical Brothers, performed on five stages for an estimated 35,000 fans during the two-day festival.

A spokesman for Northern Constabulary added: “It has been fairly peaceful.”

Ellen MacRae, owner of the Dor2es Inn on the shore of Loch Ness, said yesterday: “It’s gone well. There’s been no serious problems and everyone’s enjoying themselves. I was dancing all last night. When it’s on your doorstep, you have to enjoy it.”

• A £1 million bounty from the bookmaker William Hill has netted 30 sightings of the Loch Ness monster in just 24 hours from festival-goers. Fans were offered “Nessie Snapper” cameras to keep an eye on the water for the elusive creature.

Gee whiz, what a weekend for super girls.

Missing Girl Found Naked, Berries In Hands 

POSTED: 2:36 pm EDT June 15, 2007

KANKAKEE, Ill. — A 5-year-old girl who disappeared two days ago while boating walked up to searchers on Friday — naked, scratched and with berries in her hands — hours after her grandfather’s body was pulled from the Kankakee River.

Searchers Friday morning found the body of the 62-year-old grandfather in the water near a small island on the Kankakee River.

Hours after they pulled the body of David Klamecki from the water, Hannah Klamecki walked out of the woods and approached searchers.

Paramedics were checking on Hannah Klamecki’s condition, said Kankakee County Undersheriff Brad O’Keefe.

“She come walking up to us out of the woods,” O’Keefe said.

The grandfather’s body “was found floating in the river near where the boat was, which leads us to believe it was caught in a log jam and just got released by the current,” O’Keefe said.

The two were last seen on the river near Momence at about 7 p.m. Wednesday. The sheriff’s office was notified at about 11 p.m. that they were missing.

Searchers believed Hannah Klamecki, whose footprints were still visible on the island beach, had drowned, and they were searching the river. She told searchers her grandfather had gone swimming, O’Keefe said.

“People were like, ‘Who’s that little girl? That can’t be her, can it?’” Chief Deputy Ken McCabe said. “I went up to her (and) asked, ‘How you doing? What’s your name?’”

Searchers gave Hannah Klamecki food and water and took her to a hospital as a precaution, McCabe said.

Authorities believe the river current swept Hannah Klamecki away from a small island where the two had stopped to swim, to the shore of the mainland where she eventually was found.

She told searchers that she was wearing flotation devices on her arms, and pulled herself from the water with a branch. The island is near a bend in the river that locals call “Whirlpool Bend.”

Sonar equipment was used in the search that had been suspended at nightfall Thursday. Authorities have said that the river near the island drops suddenly from a few inches to 13 feet deep.

Lake County, Ind., sent a team of divers and a helicopter to help with the search. The Momence Fire Department, the Illinois State Police and the Illinois Department of Conservation and the Kankakee County sheriff’s river patrol unit also helped in the search.
