The continued attention to the new Knobby reports is all the buzz of the local news stations in North Carolina. For example, here’s a recent report:

Timothy Peeler called 911 on June 5, 2010, saying a man-like beast was loose on his property. He said the creature was “upwards of 10 feet tall” and screeched and grunted his way along.

Peeler saw enough to say the Bigfoot-like individual had dark hair and a gray beard that extended all the way down his belly. He says he “rough talked” the creature with “beautiful hair” and ran him off.

Officers arrived at the property around 3:00 a.m., but after finding no one went ahead and filed a suspicious person report, according to the Post Chronicle.
