Bigfoot, ghosts and UFO's: All real!

Posted: 08:52 PM ET

It's been an eye opening day at "News To Me" HQ. It started out normal enough... we arranged for the location to shoot Eric's parts of the show this weekend (think "Friday Night Lights") for our show airing over Labor Day weekend. Eric did some voice overs for our story about one very green iReporter who crashed the British Auto Show (he hates SUV's) and some ladies who are stripping for charity. Scripts were re-written, rough edits were started... all in all a typical day... until...

Eric saw on CNN.com that the "bigfoot hunters" who claimed to have found hard evidence that Sasquatch does in fact exist are now being hunted themselves... by normal sized footed creatures known as police.

Everyone has an opinion on the existence of the man-ape: "Yes, I believe." "No, don't be stupid." "It's just my Uncle Abe before they invented manscaping." But leave it to a "News To Me'er" to come up with a strangely plausible Bigfoot theory that not only explains "Harry and the Hendersons," but also covers "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," "Somewhere in Time," and "Poltergiest."

"News To Me" Producer/Editor/Camera-artist Teague took off his tinfoil hat long enough and let us in on his hypothesis that all these phenomenon are merely echos from the past or future that are finding their way through holes or flaws in what we call "time." According to his theory (which he explained with a sarcastic grin), UFO's exist but they aren't from Alpha Centauri... they're us... from the future and we see them when one of these holes or tears in space and time open near us.

Bigfoot? Probably some "missing link" between humans and apes from the past visible to us only when one of them and one of us happen to be exposed to a ripple in time simultaneously. These flaws in space and time (which some say are the same thing) are rare, and so our sightings are too.

Ghosts are real people or other living things from the past or the future that appear to us (or partially appear) when we and they move through or near a skip or error in time.

So there you have it... Bigfoot, UFO's and Ghosts are ALL REAL. It's your perception of time and space that might be a hoax!

But how could anyone have ever doubted those guys? They just radiated trust. I'm sure the Bigfoot species really has rubbery skin.
