We lived right behind McComber in the little housing tract next to big temple church. We went to a big opening kinda by the Windmill in the storm drain. We placed the sandwich on a paper plate and could not for the life us figure out how to set up the trash can trap. We heard some one coming out of the big hole, we got scared and ran for the fence, we climbed up the vines along the ditch and ran home. I got in trouble because i wasted ham and I ripped my pants jumping over the fence. My buddy got in trouble because we left the rope, but get this...he held on to the trash can. We went back the next weekend and everything was gone. I like to think I fed Bigfoot. True story. BP library was able to photo copy the BP news's story. So they have both on file and Phylis hooked me up with photo copies of the story and the picture of the homeless guy cruising down beach Blvd.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-79254163168243014952010-06-21T09:45:02.449-07:002010-06-21T09:45:02.449-07:00Haha! yeah..I remember this Buena Foot thing.

Some kids were excited at my elementary school as people in their apartment complex were being interviewed for the news. haha....great memories.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-87222028190501592812009-12-15T19:24:21.391-08:002009-12-15T19:24:21.391-08:00thanks everyone .

The paper dubbed the creature "Buenafoot". It was also on one of the local TV news stations, either ch.5 or 9. Copies of these i do not have nor know anyone who does. I believe that the witnesses may have seen a bigfoot.Gerry Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366966341017750539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-18384197544950364102008-06-30T21:05:00.000-07:002008-06-30T21:05:00.000-07:00I remember the story too.

He was a tall homeless man walking down the street with long hair, tattered clothes and was barefoot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10397898.post-31792952844712199512008-01-10T15:46:00.000-08:002008-01-10T15:46:00.000-08:00I remember this well. I, too, was going to Beatty...I remember this well. I, too, was going to Beatty in the early 80s (followed by McComber & BPHS). I was quite obsessed with story. Even at that young age I found it quite silly that grown adults really believed that a mythical creature was living among us. Homeless folks were new to Buena Park at the time, it seemed. I remember seeing a tall, hairy homeless man around town and thinking it was probably him. One day, I saw that same guy walking north on Beach Blvd towards La Habra, and I said that is probably Buena Foot. I think he might have been leaving town, because he was never heard from again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
