Pennsylvania White Bigfoot

Most people that know me know of my intense interest in all things paranormal. Since I remain very skeptical, it takes quite a bit to pique my interest. This video was one that caught my eye. I don't share the view of the poster of this video that it represents conclusive evidence; I do see some interesting aspects to the video. Of course it can be a hoax, but I did find it intriguing enough to share. Post your thoughts in response.

Perigee "Super Moon" On May 5-6 - NASA Science

Perigee "Super Moon" On May 5-6 - NASA Science: "May 2, 2012:  The full Moon has a reputation for trouble.

It raises high tides, it makes dogs howl, it wakes you up in the middle of the night with beams of moonlight stealing through the drapes.

If a moonbeam wakes you up on the night of May 5th, 2012, you might want to get out of bed and take a look1.  This May’s full Moon is a "super Moon,” as much as 14% bigger and 30% brighter than other full Moons of 2012."
