Like that guy\u2019s a tinfoil hat guy.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;There is so much more to the community than that, and I hope I can at least be a tiny representation of that.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nThe sightings have been shared on social media and one of the witnesses described seeing a &#8220;massive figure&#8221; and claimed a &#8220;strong, earthy smell&#8221; hung in the air.<BR><br \/>\nAccording to the Daily Mail, the witness wrote: &#8220;The birds stopped, the wind seemed to die down, and it got oddly quiet. That&#8217;s when I noticed movement ahead of me &#8230; [There as a] strong, earthy smell &#8230; [Then] a massive figure slowly stepped out from behind the trees, and my heart instantly started racing.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nAnother witness is said to have seen two creatures, writing: &#8220;One big, one not so big. The cinnamon was prominent on the smaller one. There was an earthy stench.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nA third witness also claimed to have seen a beast in April describing it as a &#8220;7ft creature with black fur just standing along the tree line&#8221; which then vanished back into the forest.<BR><br \/>\nHowever, Professor Josh Redstone of Carleton University, who previously taught a class on Philosophy of the Paranormal, insisted the sightings might not be of Big Foot.<BR><br \/>\nHe told the TV station: &#8220;I\u2019m sorry to disappoint your viewers, but there probably is not a sasquatch out there for anyone to go and find &#8230;<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;We\u2019re really good, for evolutionary reasons, at spotting things out there in the environment, which might be alive. We\u2019re so good at doing this that we even see these things when they are not there.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-06-12 11:02:47 Residents in Ontario, Canada have been left terrified following a spate of Big Foot sightings.
