http://www.ktvu.com/news/news/local/fis ... ent/ndmWy/For 30 years Gregory Jacobs spent his days at Fisherman's Wharf hiding behind branches, often up against a trash can, silently waiting for unsuspecting tourists to come by.
When they did, and when they least expected it, he would push those branches towards them, often giving them a little growl. Almost always, without fail, they would jump scream and run.
It is one of those iconic San Francisco experiences. Few people can forget a run-in with the bushman.
But Jacobs hadn't been in his usual spot lately. He's been in and out the hospital with heart problems. Last Sunday, his family told KTVU, his heart finally gave out and Jacobs passed away.

Not that legend, this one:

One of those Bushmen scared the shit out of my sister in law, about 5 years ago. Pretty funny.
