"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. There's a large out of focus monster roaming the countryside."- Mitch Hedburg

We've been hearing some pretty strange sounds lately.

I mean really strange.

And they are LOUD.

And they come at night.

....and they sound strangely primate.

 I'm tempted to believe THIS is lurking somewhere 

in our back yard.

 But, when morning comes a somewhat cooler head prevails;

and I am able to convince myself that it's

 probably something more along the lines of THIS:

(picture recently taken near Purcell, Oklahoma)

 ...Which does little to ease my fears.

Especially when I hear the local farmers chatting about how bad they are this year, 

 and how they don't dare walk further than eyesight from their house

without protection.

But, unfortunately, 

all our sleuthing and plaster casting to find

 the true culprit of our night terrors,

has done little to shed further light on the issue.

 ...Other than to make us out as complete ninnies.
