Snap catches out 'bigfoot'

THIS grainy snap of a mystery beast lurking in a garden could finally prove the existence of the mythical bigfoot.

Kenny and Margaret Mahoney set up a motion camera in their grounds after their home-grown vegetables began to mysteriously disappear earlier this month.

And when they watched back the footage they were stunned to see a creature resembling a ghostly Dementor from the Harry Potter films prowling at the bottom of their land.

Puzzled by the spooky black shape, Kenny and Margaret, sent the image to their local news station in Kentucky, US.

The couple were asked to appear on the show and soon found themselves at the centre of a bigfoot scandal.

Margaret said: "After we appeared on television we were swamped with phone calls and emails from crypto-zoologists and bigfoot hunters wanting to talk.

"They all think that we may have stumbled on to something important."

A team from the History Channel have now even filmed a segment for their show, Monster Quest, with the Mahoneys.

The worried couple also sent off the pictures to a wildlife expert pal fearing the beast was a bear.
Excited Margaret, 47, said: "We initially suspected a deer or a racoon of stealing our green beans.

"However when my husband produced the pictures of the shape at the bottom of our land we must admit to being surprised.

"We worried that it might be a bear, so we sent off the picture to a good friend who is an expert in that field.

"She said in her opinion it looked like fur, but she could not confirm it."

Margaret added: "Our greatest fear is that it is indeed a bear.

"However, bears do not live in Kentucky so we are still at a loss as to what this figure could be."
