A team of Bigfoot hunters has presented its “evidence” to try to prove it found Bigfoot in the woods of Georgia. Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer held a press conference at the Cabana Hotel in Palo Alto, California Friday afternoon. The two showed a couple of new photos (see right) but delivered no physical proof of their alleged discovery.
Tom Biscardi — CEO of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc, who also spoke at the event — said DNA tests had been conducted by Dr. Curt Nelson, a biologist at the University of Minnesota. The tests, he said, came back with three results: one showing inconclusive data, another indicating the creature was human, and another indicating it was a possum. That, Biscardi said, was probably because it had eaten a possum.
Biscardi mentioned that he was waiting for a friend of his — a scientist at Stanford — to get back from vacation before releasing any additional proof.
“Do you think these fellas would have come this far and put their reputations on the line if they didn’t have what they said they have?” Biscardi responded when a reporter challenged his claims.
When asked why they didn’t show the body itself, Whitten said they plan to — but they have to wait until they “get the right scientific crew there.”
“I’m telling you, it’s a body, and it’s not like a body you’ve ever seen,” Whitton commented.
“The first thing that pops into your head is ‘Bigfoot,’ and you take a step back and think, ‘you know, that can’t be.’ I didn’t believe in Bigfoot at the time,” he said.
The hunters first grabbed headlines Tuesday when they announced they had found the body in the woods of Northern Georgia. They released a couple of supposed Bigfoot photos, which quickly became Internet sensations.
It wasn’t long, though, before claims surfaced that the whole Bigfoot story was little more than a hoax. Some said the photos were created with a common Halloween costume. Then, word broke that the “doctor” seen confirming the find in a video was actually one of the men’s brothers:
Finally, skeptics said that Biscardi is a conman who has put forward false claims before.
So, the facts are on the table. The judgment call, now, is up to you.

This is evidence of Bigfoot. A video!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p22BGJ6dXU
my opinion. it sounds to me that you all are totally in it for the money. this is what differs between you and “Bigfoot hunters” I predict that before your presentation to the world of the “Body” it will be stolen or lost. Since you all have earned time by waiting to show the world by having your own autopsy done giving you time to print shirts, books and other trinkets. I do not believe in bigfoot (only because I have not seen) I do believe it possible that there could be an unidentified species such as a bigfoot but until I see I have to believe you all are trying to pass viral marketing as truth for as long as possible to generate traffic to your site and merchandise only to have a story of “The one that got away”
come on man dont be such a greedy prick. you all will generate a lot of money from being the men that found bigfoot.
if you really do have it, prove it make me a believer.
p.s. When my prediction is fact will prove me to be a true psycic and I will be selling predictions to anyone for 50.00 each (contact me
) Oh and my book will be out december and dont miss your chance to get your hats with “Psycics know their $hit” printed on them for 30.00 each. Hug my nuts!
bobby for prezdent
I dont believe in a “Ghost man” I have never seen it with my own eyes When bobby said the government would take it what better reason to allow as many to see it as possible, live autopsey on live tv, invite all of the media and scientist to attend, do it now before they can get a chance or as I predicted they conveniently loose it. I have an open mind but as they say not so open my brains will fall out.
YOURE A BIG FAT PHONEY
Time to go to jail! Fakes and liers! I`m tired of these stupid idiots that find the dead space alien or the prehistoric creature that washed up on the beach. Time to teach these losers a lesson. Jail and a huge fine for fraud.
Why would the government want a dead rotten body of a bigfoot and why would they care if one was found? Besides how much time do they need, till the body is do decomposed that it could be darwin. The theory of evolution is the biggest hoax of all time, no proof just the theory of one loose in the goose head scientist and I use that word loosely.
