MY BIG FOOTPRINT PROOF OF BIGFOOT

Yeti hunter: ‘It’s more than a myth’

AN investigator claims to have proof of the British Bigfoot.

Lee Brickley found a footprint and claw marks after a decade searching for the ape-like beast.

The 33-year-old says the print was a terrifying 41cm from heel to toe – nearly twice the size of a man’s size eight.

Lee knows people will think he is “mad” but he hopes to prove them wrong. He said: “When I show them the pictures they’re amazed.

There have been sightings of a yeti-like creature around Cannock Chase in Staffordshire dating back to the 1800s.

Lee has heard of 12 in the past two years and has even camped in the woods in a bid to spot the creature that’s known in the US and Canada as Sasquatch.

He said: “Loads of people message me regularly asking for updates. I got an anonymous email from a man saying he had been flying a remote control plane over Gentleshaw Common at Cannock Chase who said he’d seen something unusual. With his description of the location, I went out there straight away and found the footprint.

“I was astounded… I’d never seen a footprint that large in my life, and it was clearly not made using a mould or cast

“That is probably the moment I realised the Cannock Chase Bigfoot was more than just a myth.”

A month later, Lee found claw marks on a tree near a mutilated deer. He said: “It looked as though something had bitten and then ripped out its throat before eating from the torso.

“You see a lot of dead deer – often they’ve been hit by cars – but it was unusual to see one in that condition.”

Lee claims he caught a glimpse of Bigfoot once while researching a book.

He said: “It moved more like an animal than a man – it was easily 7ft tall.”
