The following anecdote was sent by Dr. Margaret Vivian and later published in the "London Evening News" on December 23, 1954. An interesting account and mystery.
"Many years ago when I was a medical student Mr. X., an old friend, would call occasionally at the college to take me out to lunch. One day a letter from him asked me to meet him off the 1:30 train the next day at a small country station nearby. Later, a telegram was handed to me telling me Mr. X. had been killed in a street accident. It was unsigned and I thought it might be a hoax.
The next morning I cycled to the station, leaned my bicycle against the bridge across the lines, and leaned on the parapet. As the 1:30 train pulled up at the platform, I watched anxiously to see who alighted. There were three passengers, two men, and a girl, and to my relief, I saw that one was my old friend, in his familiar raincoat and pork pie hat rather far back on his head. I shouted to him and he looked up smiling, waved his hat, and hurried out of sight towards the station exit. I ran to meet him there. The two other passengers emerged, by not Mr. X. I went onto the platform but there was no sign of him.
I spoke to the ticket collector. He said only two passengers had gotten off the train, a 'gent' and a young lady.
"But the other gentleman, wearing a pork pie hat," I insisted. "I saw him from the bridge!"
"I never seen but two," he replied, showing me the two tickets he had taken from them.
I rode back to college, fearing now the telegram must be genuine, and I learned later that Mr. X had been knocked down by a passerby, and had been taken unconscious to hospital, where he died as the result of a fractured skull.
I never discovered who sent me the telegram."

Back in the Summer of 2010, I posted a poll that posed the question ‘What is Bigfoot?’ To my surprise, 26% of the 574 participants answered they believed this creature was interdimensional and/or extraterrestrial. Are we at a point where people are open-minded enough to accept that a hominid-type species may not be of our time or planet?
I posed this question to my readers and challenged them to make their case. Again, I was surprised at the amount of response I received. A total of 112 emails, with well-thought-out theories and opinions, were received in three days.
Maybe we’ll discover beyond a doubt where the truth lies about Bigfoot. We may kill several birds with one stone if or when we do find the answers to our questions. There may be a grand connection between all the mysteries in our world, possibly involving other worlds or dimensions as well. Mankind may be the greatest mystery of all and the reason why Bigfoot, extraterrestrials, spirits, etc. seem to be as fascinated with us as we are with them.
So, sit back and listen to the reports, and contemplate what you believe Bigfoot is. If you have questions, feel free to post them in the live chat. I will do my best to answer everyone.
