Mason Smith is an English Teacher at East Kentucky University |
In a weekly series titled "Mystery Monday," Lexington, Kentucky news station asks a local EKU teacher about his newfound interest in Bigfoot. Read an excerpt below.
When it comes to the legend of Sasquatch, an EKU English teacher doesn't know what to believe.
However, Mason Smith does think it's fascinating to consider the question "What if?"
"We live in a complex universe that has things that haven't been discovered," says Smith.
Smith's interest peaked a couple of years ago when the cast of Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" came to Renfro Valley and asked participants if they had ever seen or heard Bigfoot.
"Out of 50 people, 25 of those had eyewitness testimony that they'd seen something bi-pedal, hairy out in the woods. Now I think that's interesting," says Smith.
Smith did not raise his hand in that meeting. He's got no Bigfoot stories to speak of. But he is fascinated with the idea of the creature.
