It’s the 300th anniversary of the first Bigfoot sighting near Natchez, MS. So we’re having a three day excuse to get drunker than normal. “It was a journal entry by French explorer Pierre François-Xavier de Charlevoix, written in Natchez on Dec. 25, 1721. The explorer wrote that on his first night at the settlement, there had been “a great alarm about nine o’clock in the evening.” When he asked the reason for it, he was told about “a beast of an unknown species, of an extraordinary bulk, and whose cry did not in the least resemble that of any known animal.” Whatever it was, no one could say they had seen it but “formed a judgment of its size entirely from its strength: it had already carried off some sheep and calves, and worried some cows.” The explorer tried to convince others that it could have been a wolf, but he could not persuade them. They believed it was “some monstrous beast.” When it was heard again, everyone “ran out armed with what he could find, but it was to no purpose.”
