Weird BUT true

Bigfoot? Nope, just me, claims a Minnesota man.

Gawain MacGregor, 39, said he was mistaken for Sasquatch in North Carolina because, as a shaman, he was walking at night dressed in animal pelts.

But the group Bigfoot 911 said the beast it reported seeing in McDowell County, northeast of Asheville, last week was 8 feet tall — and MacGregor is just an attention-seeker “looking for a way to get some air time to promote his blog.”

The city of Portland, Ore., bought itself a strip club — or at least the land under one that’ll be turned into 200 units of affordable housing.

The city council this week signed off on a $3.7 million plan to buy land where the Safari Showclub now jiggles.

The deal closes on Sept. 30 when Safari Showclub will need to find new digs.

Steven Ledo, 62, found $9,100 in cash in the dryer at Miriam Hospital in Providence — and he returned it immediately to the patient who lost it, saying: “When you do something good inside, you feel good and clean.”

FBI agents in San Francisco are looking for the “Smiling Face Bandit,” a sixtime bank robber who always wears a grin during stick-ups, officials said.

A Canadian farmer is offering $1,000 worth of bacon to anyone willing to squeal and help local cops catch thieves targeting his Nova Scotia farm.

Melvin Burns, of Moo Nay Farms near Halifax, said thieves have taken $5,000 worth of his power tools, pigs, piglets and hens since late June.

If the crooks are hard up for cash, Burns said, he’d even like to offer them work.
