In my last post I told the story of Old Slipperyskin, who MAY have been Vermont's first documented Bigfoot. But call them what you will -- Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, Woods Walker, whatever -- these big, hairy strangers have been with us for a long time. Even Rogers' Rangers had a run-in with one (October 1759).
They have been seen all over the world, with sightings in every New England state. But we're just here to talk about Vermont.
In my next series of entries I'll consider the possibility that we have a resident. . .
Joseph A. Citro, author, lecturer and expert on New England oddities (including ghosts, fortean, and spiritual phenomena) is renowned for both his novels and non-fiction books on the Just Plain Weird. His latest work is Weird New England.
Joe has appeared frequently on local and national radio and television. His entertaining lectures and readings are sought after by groups wanting something historically valid, but decidedly out of the ordinary.
Stay tuned . . .
