Hey folks! Here is the much anticipated second installment of our Bigfoot series -- and this is all about the evidence that even Dr. Kelly (the Scully in the relationship) will admit is compelling. In this episode, Sarah goes into the best evidence that Bigfoot is a real creature -- and we need to have a parade for her, we all agree.
