Bigfoot hoax turns deadly: Montana man dressed as sasquatch to provoke sightings struck and killed by car

A man who was apparently trying to provoke reports of a Bigfoot sighting in northwestern Montana was struck by two cars and killed.

The Montana Highway Patrol says the man was wearing a military style “Ghillie suit” and was standing in the right-hand lane of U.S. Highway 93 south of Kalispell when he was hit by the first car Sunday night. A second car hit him as he lay in the roadway.

You just can’t make this stuff up people. Apparently he put on a Ghillie suit and was stomping around trying to make people think he was Bigfoot. The problem is that Ghillie suits are intended to camouflage the wearer and in this case, it worked to well.

 ”He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting,” Trooper Jim Schneider told the Daily Inter Lake.com. “You can’t make it up. I haven’t seen or heard anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him.

See? If I ever meet Trooper Schneider, I’m buying him a beer. Or three.
Imagine my surprise when I read this part,
“Alcohol may have been a factor,” Schneider told Daily Inter Lake.com. “Impairment is up in the air.”

 

Who would ever guess that alcohol was involved?

Well, don’t think of it as death, just think of it as natural selection at work.
