Mysterious Bigfoot warnings pop up in parks with campers urged to 'not approach'

Campers are being warned of recent encounters with ‘Bigfoot’ and not to approach the creature in mystery posters that have appeared in Pennsylvania state parks, it is reported.

Visitors are also told to remain vigilant and “observe elevated park etiquette” and report any sightings of Bigfoot to a park ranger or other authorities.

But while the poster is written in the name of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), which looks after the parks, it is in fact a fake.

And no warning has been made due to sightings of Bigfoot, says Wesley Robinson, DCNR press secretary.

He reportedly said: “Bigfoot is not real.”

It appears to have been a hoax with the perpetrators unknown.

“These signs were not posted by DCNR,” he said, reported PennLive.

“We have seen them at parks for months and they are removed when they are reported or found by staff because they have not been authorised.

“We have seen them at many parks, but I don’t have a number for how many parks where the signs had been posted.”

The warning poster on fake DCNR letter headed paper states: “Warning! Due to encounters in the area of a creature resembling ‘Bigfoot', we are instructing all park visitors to observe elevated park etiquette, be cautious of your surroundings, and to keep the location the location of any small children/pets within a tighter scope of awareness.

“Do not approach the creature!

“Report any sightings to a ranger, front office or to the DCNR Office of Missing Persons.

“Do not post sightings on social media.”

Earlier this year a fisherman spotted a 'half-man, half-dog' beast walking along a riverbank and now an expert has said it could be Bigfoot.

The man was terrified when he saw the huge mysterious beast but luckily he was able to capture some video footage of the creature so it could be analysed later.

He had been fishing off the coast of San Benito, Texas, and now a Bigfoot expert has been left perplexed by the footage, as the Daily Star reports.

In the footage, the huge figure can be seen appearing to drink from the river while crouched on four legs, before standing up and walking away on just two.
