Dauphin County Man Claims Bigfoot Damaged His Car

LYKENS, Pa. (AP) — A central Pennsylvania man is giving state police a lead as they look into who might have damaged his 1973 Winnebago: A bigfoot.

State police said Friday a trooper took a report in Lykens, 30 miles northeast of Harrisburg, for a report that taillights and windows on the RV had been smashed.

John Reed tells police that a large, brown, hunched-over bigfoot has been seen nearby. The 39-year-old Reed is a veteran bigfoot hunter, and maintains the Lykens Valley Sasquatch Hunters page on Facebook.

Reed says he's been seeing bigfoots in the area and studying them for about three decades, but he's not sure if one of the furry menaces is responsible for damaging his vehicle.

Police are calling it an incident of criminal mischief.
