Bigfoot or Big Hoax????

I remember as a kid around 8-10-years-old that my 2 sisters and I would go to my grandparents house, with our parents of course, and we'd see our grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousin in Dayton, Ohio. Granted, there wasn't a lot to do at my grandparents house, but we always managed to find something, sometimes getting us into a boatload of trouble, but finding something nonetheless. Whether we used Grandma's sheets for capes because we were Batman or Superman, or her clothesline because we were Wonder Woman and that was our magical lasso, (the clothespins helped us catch the bad guys), or we played detectives and helped solve a crime. We always had fun. The most memorable time was when we asked Grandma Walker if there really was a Bigfoot. She told us they lived in huts in Canada and in the mountains of the U.S. Well, we laughed it off because we knew she had to be lying and we asked our Aunt Darla, well her daughter, Cassie, did because she was the one who always asked and never got in trouble for it! Aunt Darla told us they lived in the mountains and sometimes if kids were really bad, they would know where to find you, just like Santa, The Easter Bunny, and The Tooth Fairy did. Bigfoot would come to your neighborhood, stalk you until you were bad again and they'd grab you and make you live in their huts. My cousins and my sisters and I were good after that, at least we tried to be. We figured since Bigfoot hadn't been trying to grab any of us that we were really good! Well, almost 30 years have passed since then and according to 2 gentleman in Palo Alto, CA, they found Bigfoot and have proof. They captured a dead one, yeah, kind of hard to capture a dead one, I know, and they stuffed it into a huge box and kept it refrigerated for a couple of months....hmmmm wonder what they were thinking? (Gee, what's for supper??? How about some Bigfoot stew?) Anyhow, Bigfoot wasn't captured just anywhere....NOOOOO..it was captured in Rabun County, GA, smack dab in the same county I live in. Is is true? We'll just have to wait and see on the test results!
