If only Bigfoot would just come out of the forest and portray themselves in those beef jerky commercials. Until then, we have these 'sightings.'

The ever-elusive Bigfoot. Hard to capture on film, even harder to physically capture. The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization (BFRO) keeps track of reported sightings of the furry giant.

There have been nine reported Bigfoot sightings in the Fort Collins area, dating back to 1971. You have to believe that these people honestly think that they saw a Bigfoot, to go through the process of logging the report, as well as the potential ridicule they might endure after having done so.
