A reported Bigfoot sighting in eastern Connecticut is getting plenty of attention, but not everyone is convinced. Someone says they saw him in Voluntown near the Pachaug State Forest, but neighbors aren't so sure.
"It's amazing what your mind can do with shadows and things like that when you're tired and dehydrated," one neighbor said.
According to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization, an eyewitness reported seeing the creature earlier this month near Wiley School Road.
The organization says the account was highly detailed and has been given its highest level of credibility.
The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization has documented 22 reported sightings in Connecticut so far. Whether the latest report adds to the legend or has a more ordinary explanation remains up for debate.
