Pulitzer Prize Nominee Accepts Bigfoot

Pulitzer Prize Nominee Accepts Bigfoot. Bigfoot believers are in good company: Castleton State College anthropologist Dr. Warren Cook investigated Bigfoot reports in Vermont from the 1970s until his death in 1989. Cook was a respected scholar who was once nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. His interest was piqued when his students began telling him of sightings locally, and he began investigating reports throughout the little state of Vermont. Even one of his daughters had a sighting. In those days, Bigfoot was particularly active on highways from Rutland, Vermont to Whitehall, New York. These highways were traveled by his students, and Professor Cook got so many reports that he realized something significant was going on and went out to investigate. What he saw plus the character of his students and other reporters convinced him that Bigfoot existed.

Quick Fact: The Bigfoot in Georgia who bore several children by reportedly drunk human males was named "Zana" which means "black" in Georgian, not because of her race but the color of the fur that covered her body. She was captured by a local merchant in the Ochamir Region of Georgia, specifically in a gulch along the Adzyubzha River. It was very difficult to catch her. She could disappear a second before capture. Finally, the merchant put out a pair of man's red underwear. Like women everywhere, she couldn't resist trying clothing  on. Her pursuers were hiding and watching, and when she mistakenly got the red  underwear over her head and chest, they were able to run up to her and get their hands on her. She fought against four men, but they then used clubs to beat her into submission. Now you know how the famous Zana was caught.
