USA: A judge has dismissed charges against a woman who threw uncooked bacon and sausage inside a police station while saying she was there to “feed the piggies”.

A man aiming to start hoax rumours of a Bigfoot sighting in the US was run over and killed as he stood in the road trying to startle drivers.

AUTHORITIES in India are to investigate claims by terrified villagers that Bigfoot-type hairy giants are roaming the jungles of the remote north-east, a local official said.

Big believers in “Bigfoot” have ignored a history of hoaxes and misidentifications and gathered in the US to exchange stories and peruse books and items on the creature.
