An Ohio hunter’s possible Sasquatch sighting, a baffling banana mystery in Britain, and the Belgium government warning residents against eating Christmas trees were among the weird and wondrous stories to cross our desk this past week.
The legendary Bigfoot was back in the headlines this past week by way of two stories involving the famed cryptid. In Ohio, a hunter was stunned when he spotted a dark bipedal figure bounding across a field. The remote location and how the creature moved as well as its size left the man to speculate that the animal could have been Bigfoot. A snowy driveway in New York State was the setting for the second account wherein a paranormal researcher found a pair of sizeable prints that seemingly suggested Sasquatch may have visited his property earlier in the day.

Two weird mysteries from across the pond popped up in the news this past week, beginning with a bizarre case that has gripped the British town of Beeston. Residents there say that for at least the last year, someone has been leaving a plate of peeled bananas on the side of a road on the 2nd day of every month. The ritualistic offerings have spawned an array of theories, including that they could be religious in nature. However, as of now, no one is certain why the flummoxing fruit keeps appearing. Meanwhile, police in Ireland stepped up their patrols of a community after a motorist encountered and filmed an eerie individual dressed entirely in yellow wandering down the street.

With the holiday season having come to a close, this past week featured a pair of odd stories about the fate of disused Christmas trees. At the Berlin Zoo, the facility’s resident elephants were treated to an annual feast wherein they dined on the decoration. Fortunately, officials at the site offered assurances that the greenery was carefully sourced to avoid harmful chemicals. To that end, later in the week, the Belgian government warned residents that they should not eat their Christmas trees after a misguided post from a community website suggested people partake in the practice which could be dangerous due to the possible presence of pesticides and flame retardants.
