Monrovia Sasquatch Terrorizes Old Town

The mysterious beast with unknown origins frightened passers-by on Myrtle Avenue Saturday night. Is he a supernatural mountain monster or just a prank played by teenagers?

Imagine going to see the movie "Savages" at the Saturday night, as I did, and emerging from the theater to witness a real-life savage emerge from the shrubs.

This monster caused many shrieks of terror Saturday night as it jumped out from the bushes to startle shoppers. Several teenagers nearby appeared to be helping the cruel beast, laughing as each new victim squealed.

So the question is: What is this creature? Is he the fabled Sasquatch that Wikipedia describes as an "ape-like cryptid that purportedly inhabits forests?" Is he Bigfoot? A Yetti? Does he come in peace, or is he just the first in a wave of Sasquatches bent on conquering the human race?
