In the winter of 1979, several residents around Carpenter's Knob in Cleveland County, North Carolina, reported a series of unusual encounters with an unknown, apelike animal. Among the early sightings were those reported by Minnie Cook, an 88-year-old resident who claimed that she observed the animal after she emerged from her home to learn what kind of animal had been disturbing her dogs.  Over the next several weeks, "Knobby fever" would strike this rural portion of Western North Carolina, with many other residents reporting sightings of a large, roughly six-foot-tall apelike creature that both walked on its hind legs and on all-fours. In this episode of Sasquatch Tracks, following a recent news story involving the escape of several primates from a South Carolina laboratory, we take a deep dive into the story of Knobby, and examine the possibilities behind this enduring local legend of a southeastern "Bigfoot" creature.   Stories and other links discussed in this episode:  <ul> <li><a href="http://knobbythebigfoot.com/">Knobby: The Bigfoot of Western North Carolina</a></li> </ul> <a href="https://twitter.com/sasquatchtracks">Follow Sasquatch Tracks on Twitter.</a> <a href="mailto:info@sasquatchtracks.com">Got a news tip or story to share?
