claim: A Colorado hunter claimed he was sexually assaulted by a Sasquatch.
origin: In May 2017, people on social mediaÂ got wind of an articleÂ about a Colorado hunter who apparentlyÂ claimed that a Sasquatch (a creature of legend also known as Bigfoot or, in some circles, the Yeti) sexually assaulted him: The articleÂ was published by World News Daily Report on 11 May 2017: < The 57-year old man was walking to his hunting cabin on Sunday, to see if it had suffered any damage during the winter. All of a sudden, a large â€œgorilla-likeâ€ creature dropped from a tree in front of him punched him in the face â€¦ While Mr. Whitaker was trying to recover from the attack, the large humanoid creature began to tear his clothes while letting out some terrifying howls. â€œWhen I regained consciousness, he had already torn my pants and was tearing through my underwear. I stabbed him in the shoulder with my hunting knife, and that made him run away.â€ > The item included a photograph of large footprints, purportedly captured at the scene of the incident. That image dated back to at least 2011, and was unrelated to any incidents involving a hunter versus BigfootÂ encounter in 2017. Â However, all of this is beside the point, because there isÂ no truthÂ to this story; World News Daily Report admitsÂ on its own disclaimer page that all of its siteÂ content is fictional: < WNDR assumes however all responsibility for the satirical nature of its articles and for the fictional nature of their content. All characters appearing in the articles in this website â€“ even those based on real people â€“ are entirely fictional and any resemblance between them and any persons, living, dead, or undead is purely a miracle. >
