    Coincidence? I wonder.

    CATEGORY: Lighter fare — Fr. John Zuhlsdorf @ 9:38 am

    From Sancte Pater:



    The Bemidji Pioneer reported this week that two hunters near there say they captured a Bigfoot in photographs in the woods. Biology experts aren’t so sure.

    In the story, Tim Kedrowski told Pioneer Editor Molly Miron that he and his sons, Peter and Casey, got a photo of a Bigfoot-like creature on a game trail camera set up on their hunting land north of Remer, Minn.

    Kedrowski told Miron that photo frame was clicked at 7:20 p.m. Oct. 24, a rainy night in Remer. They checked with neighbors and other hunters who might have been in the area and they all said the image isn’t them, he told Miron. Kedrowski told the Pioneer he considered possibilities from a bear to a bow hunter in a fuzzy suit. But the arm and hand couldn’t be a bear’s, Kedrowksi said. The upright gait doesn’t match a bear, either, he said…

    Remer… hmmm… I know the priest there.   Big guy… tall… deep scary voice….

    Hmmmm…..

    Coincidence?  You decide.

    1. Looks like a man in a black suit to me Father!

    2. I’m not impressed. One of my parishioners narrowly avoided a deadly encounter with a chupacabra on Halloween night. ;)

    3. Father, it’s not nice to scare the neighbors like that. Plus, it’s dangerous to dress in fuzzy garb, especially during hunting season.

    4. Surely a priest on his way to a funeral Mass? Or do I see a hint of dark purple?

      Comment by Marq — 10 December 2009 @ 11:32 am
    5. Looks like a funny-looking tree….

      Comment by irishgirl — 10 December 2009 @ 11:36 am
    6. Looks like a Stephen King evil creature walking away from Remer, very disappointed and upset as he found all the locals are very good and holy people, bent solely on doing good this advent season.

    7. I’m gonna go with a man in a black snowpants, black jacket with hood up and gray gloves. Look at the size of the leaf on that white tree near the figure, using that as a reference for scale the creature in question doesn’t appear to be any larger than a typical man.

    8. I think I might have dated her before I returned to the faith.

      Comment by mdillon — 10 December 2009 @ 12:36 pm
    9. Is it a voice crying out in the wilderness?

      Is it the “spirit” of Vatican II

      It can’t be an LWCR nun, the fur looks too much like a habit.

    10. Is that a black biretta on his head?

      Comment by john 654 — 10 December 2009 @ 12:59 pm
    11. Ineffable.

      Comment by caterham — 10 December 2009 @ 1:55 pm
    12. They should set up a bigfoot feeder with a birdcam….

      Comment by DisturbedMary — 10 December 2009 @ 2:06 pm
    13. Similar to our grassman here in Ohio

    14. A Bishop hiding from controversy?

      Comment by EXCHIEF — 10 December 2009 @ 3:51 pm
    15. I spy a galero!

      Comment by StevenDunn — 10 December 2009 @ 4:53 pm
    16. Those legs look pretty straight. World’s thickest ankles. Maybe the rest died from chronic edema.

      Comment by ray from mn — 10 December 2009 @ 5:10 pm
    17. So uh, does Bigfoot wear a navy gabardine suit?

      Comment by Sedgwick — 10 December 2009 @ 6:10 pm
    18. Well, if he/she is out there let him/her alone, must be happy living out in the woods and isn’t bothering any body.

      Comment by ssoldie — 10 December 2009 @ 8:03 pm
    19. If it is the priest from the Remer area, I wonder if he is reliving a childhood halloween: he dresses as bigfoot, his little brother dresses as a bishop? hmmm…

      Comment by priest up north — 10 December 2009 @ 9:58 pm
    20. Looks like someone in a black hooded jacket and slacks.

      So your friend likes to go hiking?

      I wonder if the person in the picture is someone the Kedrowski’s know, and they are playing a prank on him.

      Comment by Melody — 11 December 2009 @ 7:20 am
    21. Sorry guys, that was just me taking a short cut to the TLM.

      Comment by Kimberly — 11 December 2009 @ 8:25 am
    22. I agree with Melody. I think it’s someone who knew the camera was out there, and decided to have a bit of fun with it.
