You all remember the so-called “Crookston Bigfoot” that is now part of my museum.

In 1990, Wisconsin taxidermist and artist Curtis Christensen created the “world’s most unique Bigfoot in existence,” above, and kept it to himself in his barn for a few years.

In June 1995, Crookston, Minnesota, based on a series of local sightings, declared itself the “Bigfoot Capital of the World.” Badger State taxidermist Christensen heard about their claim, and contacted the executive director of the Crookston Development Authority.

“Would Crookston like to obtain my Bigfoot to go with your new worldwide fame?”, he asked them. The “Crookston Bigfoot” became widely known as such when it was located for a few years at RBJ’s Restaurant in Crookston, Minnesota.

Now word comes of another strange type of man-made monster in Crookston, Minnesota.

Police in Crookston are on the lookout for a man in wolf mask who robbed a gas station last Thursday night, July 31, 2008.

A clerk told officials the robber entered the Tesoro store, ordered the clerk to shut off the lights and hand over the money or be killed. The clerk says the robber then lifted his shirt to reveal a handgun tucked into his waistband.

The robber is described as about 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing about 125 pounds. He was wearing a gray sweat shirt, gloves and blue jeans.

No, it wasn’t Bigfoot.

Instead, yes, the robber also was said to have a gray wolf mask on over his head, or might he have been a werewolf from the Bray Road area of nearby Wisconsin?

Linda Godfrey warned about the above mask a year ago.
