In summary, a man in Winooski, Vermont claims to have seen a bigfoot-like creature while driving on Route 7 at dusk. This sighting is consistent with the behavior of other wild animals and raises the question of whether these sightings are actually of intelligent beings or simply wild animals. However, there have been reports of sightings during the day, as mentioned in John Green's books. Other sightings in Vermont have also occurred during the day, including one involving Shaq O'Neill walking barefoot to a Burger King.

Why is it that these things always pop up right at dusk? How come you never see them at 3pm in the afternoon on a bright sunny day when they're visible?

This is consistent with the behavior of other wild animals. For example, dusk and dawn are the most likely times to see a deer. Conversely, maybe it takes all day to get on those d*mned monkey suits!

Which actually contributes more to the theory that these are more likely wild animals than intelligent "bigfeet".

Actually, they do get spotted during the day. If you read anyone of John Green's books which are full of accounts collected from people who've had sightings, you come away with the impression that they are spotted as much at day as at night.

The four other Vermont sightings mentioned in the story were probably daytime ones since the people seemed to be doing things you wouldn't be doing in the woods at night, especially the woman who was reading.

It was actually Shaq O'Neill hoofing it barefoot to his local Burger King.

What is the story about "Man Spots Bigfoot in Glastenbury, VT"?

The story is about a man who claims to have spotted a Bigfoot creature in the town of Glastenbury, VT. He reportedly saw the creature while hiking in the woods and managed to capture a photo as evidence.

Is there any evidence to support the man's claim?

The only evidence presented so far is the photo taken by the man. However, it has not been verified or confirmed by any scientific or credible source. The photo is also questionable as it is grainy and does not clearly show a Bigfoot creature.

What is the likelihood of a Bigfoot creature existing in Glastenbury, VT?

There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of Bigfoot anywhere in the world, including Glastenbury, VT. Many sightings and claims have been debunked as hoaxes or misidentifications. Therefore, the likelihood of a Bigfoot creature in Glastenbury is very low.

What could the man have seen if it wasn't a Bigfoot?

There are several possibilities for what the man could have seen instead of a Bigfoot. It could have been a bear, a large dog, or another person dressed in a costume. The photo is not clear enough to make a definitive identification.

Why do people continue to believe in Bigfoot despite lack of evidence?

Belief in Bigfoot and other cryptids is largely based on personal experiences, cultural beliefs, and the desire for mystery and excitement. Many people are also drawn to the idea of a hidden, undiscovered creature living in the wild. However, without solid scientific evidence, it remains a popular myth rather than a verified reality.
