Bigfoot - Amomongo

Amomongo is an ape-like creature that walks on the grounds of Le Castellana, Philippines. Amomongo has attacked three people, and over 50 animals (mostly chickens). A survivors description of Amomongo is that he is five and a half ft. tall, and he looks like a monkey. He's very hairy and always has long nails. Chickens who got attacked had their entrails ripped out of their stomach and was eaten by a creature. Also the people who got attacked received long scratches on their torso from Amomongo. They claimed and said that he tried to remove their external organs. Eric Lasita managed to slash the beast with a blade when being attacked. He then sent the knife to the police so they could determine whether it is a creature or human. La Castellana was evacuated, and there is a time restriction to enter that certain area.
This relates to Bigfoot because Bigfoot is a creature that people have seen, but it's not proven to be true unless he can be caught. Which he can't. Same goes for Amomongo.

Bigfoot - Canadian Bus Driver Hoax

In 1977, 35 miles east of Vancouver a bus driver and his passengers witnessed a large creature run across highway seven into a forest. They claimed that the creature had been seven feet tall, and hairy. After investigating in the forest footprints were found on the ground. After a couple of months, the police had found out that it was a hoax. There were three people who had planned the hoax, and they said it took them about a month of planning. How they did it? They claimed to have used large plaster footprints to imprint on the ground, and bought a $100 costume. "It was a good practical joke, we thought it might fool a few people. I was running like O.J. Simpson" Says Ken Ticehurst.
This relates to Bigfoot because they thought they saw Bigfoot, but it was actually just a prank.

Lest We Forget

Whenever it's this time of year, I don't know how I feel about everything. I guess I'm in the middle. Half of me is sad because of the fact that millions of Canadian soldiers passed away serving for our country, the other half of me is happy because without them, our country wouldn't be how it is today. They fought for our freedom, which has made us a one if the countries with the most freedom. Thanks to them, we are known as a peacekeeping country. Because of them, we no longer need to be afraid of having to live in a time like the World Wars.

Tomorrow my heart goes out to those who fought for Canada, those who fought for Canada and passed away, and those who had a family member who passed away while fighting for Canada. I honestly can't believe the pain the family members had to feel....... Not being able say goodbye to their loved ones before they passed away. Life must be hard for them, but they should be proud to know that they died happy, serving for our country, dying for our country, and dying for our freedom.
