Mystery foot rattles Tupper Lake

The Adirondack Daily Enterprise is reporting that folks in Tupper Lake were afraid that they'd found a child's foot on the playground on a softball field at LP Quinn Elementary school.

The good news: It wasn't a child. The bad news: It was the hind leg of a young black bear.

Tupper Lake Central School District Superintendent Seth McGowan said the foot was mostly just bones with a little flesh attached. In the dark, the remains could have easily looked like a human foot, he said.

Yikes.
