10 Rare Cryptids Haunting The United States

4. Bardin Booger

Just northeast of an old sleepy Southern town called Palatka in Florida is the even sleepier town of Bardin. Surrounded by old pine forest, both Bardin and Palatka have been the locations of sighting of the Bardin Booger (Go ahead and laugh, it€™s a stupid name). Several locals claim to have started seeing the Booger in the 1970€™s, particularly along a lover€™s lane. It looks like a Bigfoot and smells like a skunk suggesting that€™s it€™s another Skunk Ape legend, but the Northern Floridians don€™t want to be aligned with the Southern liberal transplants, so it became the Booger, an old Floridian word for something spooky. Also called the €œBoogey-Boo€ or the €œBooger Man€ he€™s the subject of many a T-shirt at Bud€™s Grocery in the heart of Bardin and also a country song by local musician titled The Bardin Booger€™s Christmas Wish. The Booger has been blamed for stealing laundry from lines, shaking pick-up trucks and lurking around the woods. Which, in all reality, is liable to happen on occasion in the woods of Florida and have nothing to do with an ape-like creature, but rather stupid spring breakers that got lost in the wrong neck of the woods on the way to Panama City Beach.
