Bigfoot enthusiasts, get ready for some exciting news! The Western North Carolina Bigfoot Festival, also known as "Maran Bigfoot," is an overlooked gem that deserves more attention. This festival is one of the largest in the state of North Carolina and the South, and it's the closest one to us. The festival features a variety of activities, including Bigfoot speakers, a Bigfoot calling contest, an author village, and a paranormal element with authors and personalities. This year, the festival will have Mary, the author of "The Haunted BRO Hospital," and two members of BFRO. The Paranormal Road Tripper will also be there. In addition to the festival, there have been some interesting developments regarding zombie deer disease. Two Hunters may have died from consuming contaminated deer meat. The disease, also known as chronic wasting disease (CWD), causes symptoms similar to a zombie-like state in infected animals. It's similar to mad cow disease and sheep scrapie disease, and it's caused by prions that target the brain. Until recently, it was believed that CWD posed no threat to humans. However, one of the deceased Hunters experienced a rapid decline within a month of consuming contaminated deer meat. He exhibited confusion, aggression, and seizures, ultimately receiving a diagnosis of spongiform encephalopathy. The link between zombie deer disease and chronic wasting disease in these two Hunters is still unproven, but the case underscores the need for further investigation into the potential risk of consuming meat with the disease, especially as it relates to public health.
