The small town of Felton, California held its annual Bigfoot Discovery Day but the guest of honour again failed to show up, organizers said.

Staged by the Alliance of Independent Bigfoot Researchers and the Bigfoot Discovery Project, the event has been held every year since 2006. About 50 people attended the outdoor lunch and meeting in the town of 1,051 people north of Santa Cruz to hear of purported Bigfoot sightings and examine evidence.

"We have plenty of evidence of a Bigfoot presence up here in the mountains," Michael Rugg, curator of the town's Bigfoot Discovery Museum, said. "I have some vocalizations we've recorded, we have some video that we shot locally, and we have a number of eyewitnesses who have reported sightings," he said. "In our testing, we've come up with more evidence to indicate it's true than the opposite."

Rugg said he founded the museum in 2004 because he wanted to "have a bigger part in trying to solve this mystery."

The mystery being why is someone this daft allowed out in the community?
