BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) — If you've been seeing
a large, furry,green creature around Kern County, you
aren't alone. Sightings of what the internet has deemed
the "Cashsquatch" have been reported downtown,
Southwest, and in Northwest Bakersfield.
The green creature is described as having money bills
onto its body, and supposedly presents a cheerful
demeanor.
"He was like waving, and like dancing," said Chris Guy,
who spotted the Cashsquatch near the Fox Theatre, "he
just looked harmless."
Guy was with his 2-year-old daughter and said she was
amused by the sight, which lead him to believe that it
wasn't something concerning.
Lauren Harris, who saw the Cashsquatch after lunch at
the Padre Hotel, said she wasn't sure how to feel.
"At first, I was like, should I be scared? But he
didn't really seem scary," said Harris, "he seemed kind
of funny."
Both Harris and Guy were intrigued by the figure, and
quickly discovered the phenomenon after searching
online.
Posters around town titled "mysterious creature" and
"strange creature spotted in Kern County" include a QR
code to report sightings.
It is currently unknown if the Cashsquatch is a
practical joke, or a marketing technique.
