Unfortunately, I think that’s the case most of the time. For most people, even a Bigfoot sighting only stays in the public eye for a short amount of time. A few days pass, and whether people read about it or not, it’s not enough of a fascination to keep a lot of people interested…or talking about it over a hundred years after it happened.

I live in a college town and if I mention the word cryptozoology, 90% of people (it’s probably higher, but you know…) don’t know what the word means or what I’m talking about. Unless you’re “into” this stuff, it seems to escape most people’s day to day worlds. Interesting isn’t it?

Too bad about the tree. Unless they installed some watering system, it will die with the majority of its roots covered with asphalt.

I don’t find it surprising no one has heard of it, to the Florida community a giant blob washing up back in 1896 is not important and so forgotten. I don’t think everything can and should be turned into a tourist attraction.
