LEBANON JUNCTION, KY (WAVE) - Has a mythical creature made its way to Kentucky? Some people seem to think so, after a Nelson County man came across a creature with grayish, wrinkly skin and no fur.
Mark Cothren shot and killed an animal on Dec. 18 because he said he feared what it was, since he did not recognize it. He said the animal walked from the woods onto his front yard around 3 p.m. Cothren lives on Mount Carmel Church Road in Lebanon Junction.
"I was like: 'every animal has hair, especially this time of year!' What puzzled me is how something like that could survive through a winter with no hair," Cothren said.
"Everybody is getting very curious, you know. [The] phone is ringing off the hook. It's kind of a mystery right now," Cothren said.

Sounds like you wouldn't have to worry about getting hair all over the meat.

You have to love people from rural Kentucky. Shoot something because you can't comprehend what it is......
It makes me ponder what they might do to a math textbook?

If you want to be successful at anything, you'll need to develop a never quit attitude. Don't let life happen to you. Grab it by the throat and make life dance to your tune.

Here's to hoping that Bigfoot wanders into the rural Kentucky mountains so we can finally put that one to rest.

Re: Kentuckian Kills Mysterious Animal
Looks like a hairless racoon...
So...he shot it, shaved it, and figured he'd make some money or at least be on the local news. And they all fell for it.
I guess they said that at the bottom of the news article... that's what I get for not reading it all. Reading is over-rated anyway.
