Bigfoot Legend Thrives In Alabama
Manlike Creature Lives In Ala. Peach Grove, According To Legend
In the 1960s, some strange footprints were found in a Chilton County peach grove.Now, the original investigator reminisces about the time he spent tracking Bigfoot.”In our opinion, it was definitely not a fake. It was a real track,” said James Earl Johnson, the former Chilton County investigator, whose case sparked the legend.“We checked the peach orchard, and there was a trail leading out of the peach orchard, and it was tracks -- strange looking tracks, similar to a human but bigger and wider,” said Johnson.With nothing but a print to go on, picking a name for the elusive creature wasn't very hard.Since then, Bigfoot sightings have been reported across the country, and sketches of the creature vary depending on where the sighting occurred.The name varies as well. In Alabama, the creature is known as Bigfoot, while in Northern areas, it's known as a Sasquatch.“Supposedly, the legend is that a hairy manlike creature that walks on two legs at some point inhabited the bottomland swamp regions in Chilton County in Clanton, Ala.,” said Bryan Wyatt, a Bigfoot researcher.“I know one thing: (Bigfoot) likes Chilton County peaches,” said Johnson.
