In a post last year, Mysterious Animal in my Front Yard, I wrote about a creature that took up residence in my front yard. Even though many people don’t believe they exist, I’ve concluded the animal is Sasquatch, also known as Bigfoot.

My efforts to catch sight of the Sasquatch have failed over the months – until now. Last week I was doing a run on my front yard running paths when I collided with something that knocked me to the ground.

I couldn’t understand what happened because there was nothing in my path to collide with. When I looked back, I had the shock of my life. Standing not ten feet away was Sasquatch, glaring at me. My front yard cam captured the image below.

The stare down lasted but a moment – the Sasquatch darted away, and by the time I got to my feet, he had vanished. I was mystified how he could appear and then disappear so quickly. It’s like Sasquatch have magical powers. Unfortunately, he was just outside the viewing range of my front yard camera.

It’s hard keeping such an amazing experience to myself. However, when I tell others, I’m mystified yet again. You’d think my eye witness account would result in astonishment and follow up questions. Instead people laugh or act like I’m trying to pull a fast one on ’em.

In the below photo, my amazing Sasquatch experience is causing fellow members of the Manito Running Club, Madeline Reich and Mike Tonkyn, to laugh non-stop.

Madeline laughed so hard she got a stomach ache. I heard Mike laughing on and off the entire run.

I’ve been nicknamed Sasquatch Jim, and asked when I’m going to get to the bottom of other mysteries like the Loch Ness Monster and aliens. This infuriates me. How can I solve the Loch Ness monster mystery? I don’t live in Scotland. And why would Sasquatch Jim take on aliens? I have no reason to get involved with aliens unless I saw them living in my front yard.

If I happen to run into any of you readers, I’ll expect the utmost in respect and consideration as I tell my story. If not, Sasquatch Jim will get very, very, angry.
