Bigfoot Photographed in Fairdale?


Kenny Mahoney of Fairdale, KY, has inadvertently snapped a mysterious photograph that some people believe is a Bigfoot-type cryptid.

Mahoney operates a motion-detecting hunting camera, which usually picks up mundane critters such as deer, rabbits and possums. But recently his camera took a strange image that appears to be a gorilla, or something like one.

Hate to be a spoilsport, but the longer I stare at the image, the more it seems to me that the two blurry blobs that look like arms are actually large birds, and the blurry blob that appears to be its head and torso is just the general background of the dark woods. I'd like to see what other photos without the alleged Bigfoot, taken in this exact same spot, look like.

On the other hand, if there was a place where a Kentucky Bigfoot could thrive, it would indeed be near Fairdale, which is a community just a couple miles East of Penile. Check a map, and you'll see that inside the triangle formed by Fairdale, Kosmosdale, and Shepherdsville, there's a vast expanse of wilderness with very little civilization going on.


On the other hand, the Fairdale Bigfoot has a Facebook and a Twitter, so he must be real, right?

Welcome to Penile!

Long have I been intrigued by a tiny Jefferson County town, listed only on the most detailed Kentucky maps, known as Penile.

Why on Earth is there a town called Penile? No one seems to know. As if it's not bad enough (or hilarious enough, depending on your point of view) to have a town whose name begs for puerile jokes, two intersections in the area have equally unfortunate names. The corner of Penile and Cummings is one, and then there's the corner of Penile and Manslick. I swear I'm not making this up.




For more on glorious downtown Penile, turn to page 182 in your copy of Weird Kentucky.

Penile Polar Bear

Forget lawn jockeys, plastic deer and chalk kittycats, concrete polar bears in your yard is what's happenin'. So sayeth I, anyway. And no, don't misunderstand the title of this entry - the polar bear is located in the small Kentucky town known as Penile.

No, really, that's the town's name. Srsly, dude.
