Parks officials in Pennsylvania say they don’t know who’s posting signs warning of bigfoot activity in the area, but it’s not them. The signs warn people to inform park rangers, but not to post anything on social media. Park officials also threw cold water on the notion that sasquatch might be making a home in the Keystone State—or anywhere else for that matter. “Bigfoot is not real,” Wesley Robinson, press secretary for the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, told PennLive. The signs state that there have been “encounters” in the area and call on visitors to “observe elevated park etiquette, be cautious of your surroundings and to keep the location of any small children/pets within a tighter scope of awareness.”

Parks officials also warn: “Do not approach the creature.” Robinson added that the signs, which have been turning up for months in “many parks,” are removed whenever spotted. Visitors have been posting images of the signs on social media, including one that drew a response from the conservation department, which runs the state’s parks: “Nope. Rangers are aware and are removing them and investigating the situation. These are not posted by DCNR and is an unauthorized use of our logo.” (HuffPost.com, 12 Oct 2022)
