Editorial: The Foot of Unknown Origin Mystery Solved

On Saturday, February 10th, a strange-looking foot was found at the Livingston landfill in Spottsylvania County, Virginia. It appeared to be a large, skinned-out, primate-like foot, very similar to Tom Biscardi's "Hand of Unknown Origin." Thought at first to be human, it was re-examined and thought to be from a primate. However, the mystery as to where it came from was also hard to determine. The foot was found after 127 tons of garbage was moved. There was even a thought as to it being from a Sasquatch, but there was a problem with that-it was sawed off rather than having fallen off or broken off. The foot was the subject of much speculation and investigation until yesterday, when it was tested for DNA and determined to be exactly what it appeared to be-a skinned-out bear paw. That news comes from Billy Willard. So, the mystery is solved as to this piece of evidence, but maybe we'll get lucky next time, who knows? On a related note, XZOne host Rob McConnell had a conversation with Billy and seems to be discouraged by the less than credible researchers and is not in the mood for Sasquatch discussion. He seems to be giving up on Sasquatch and discouraged, which is his right, but I hope he does not completely give up on those he considers credible, such as the American Bigfoot Society, Leo Selzer and Robert W. Morgan. Time will tell as to whether or not Rob comes back around, but we must nevertheless continue on with our research and not be discouraged ourselves.
