Over the summer, posters bearing an official looking imprimatur of the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources started showing up stapled to trees in many of the state’s parks warning that a “creature resembling” Bigfoot had been spotted nearby.
The posters advise park goers to show “etiquette” and to be cautious. There have been enough posters plastered around, and enough social media posts about them, that the DCNR has been forced to respond.
“These signs were not posted by DCNR,” agency spokesman Wesley Robinson wrote in a statement to The Inquirer. He added, “Bigfoot is not real,” with a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer saying that is his opinion and not an official statement.
