    all they were showing was a plastic bag though and claiming there was a bigfoot in it. they couldnt show it yet for legal reasons.

    it is the same boys but the plastic bag is off. hoax or real? it'll be interesting to keep an eye on this one.

    No comment really apart from .... cryptomundo is a great site!

    Yeah its pretty much top of its game for that type of stuff. Which means I'm paying more attention to this story because they are kind of getting behind it.

    Well the dog is not Chupacabra DNA tests have been done and they are just wilde dogs with Mange.

    Problem is with Chupacabra is all sighting have been different animals and then catagorised under the name Chupacabra .
    In Chili they have pretty much concluded that it is actually a Ferret.

    With regards to bigfoot. Well these things always die out . It starts with a great story body found and then nothing .

    Yup it's looking like a hoax.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 423 ✭✭Aseth


    there's an article in todays Metro about it. They also mentioned a press conference which should take place sometime today.
    Hopefully they will put it on YouTube.

    Thats what i thought too, I wonder will they show the body or just the photographs... also the "DNA Evidence" they have should be interesting! The problem I have is that Tom Biscardi is involved in it... he's pulled hoaxes involving bigfoot before!

    The big thing is , they never showed a picture of the body were they found it. One top Bigfoot expert is helping out with this and is sure its bigfoot. Another bigfoot expert is extreamly skepticle .

    Word is its in a collage under armed guard getting tested .

    The website that says its fake have been dodgy themselfs in the past.

    I will wait and see.

    The press conference is on at 5pm irish time!

    Have to say I call fake on it. I hope I'm wrong, but too many things stack up against it. The "guts" just don't fit and look too fresh. How did they drag something that big out of the woods? It looks too much like the costume. The fur looks wrong for want of a better word. The tongue hanging out seems to long and flat for the body, the teeth look human. Basically it just looks fake.

    I'd love this to be the real deal. I know a canadian chap who claims he saw one. Up close too(30 ft away), while fishing way off in the bush. This guy is one of the least likely people I know to be of an over imaginative bent and the details he remembered were impressive. He's also a keen fishing type who has spent a good amount of time in the middle of nowhere for up to a week at a time. He knows bears, moose, deer etc very well. He was defo not a believer until he saw it himself. Basically he said it looked like an ape/gorilla in the face(which he said was black). It's body was heavy set but looked like a very well built human. He also said it was around his height(he's 6'5").I believed him anyway.

    If they do exist I suspect it'll be in some far off lightly populated area that evidence will show up, not in someones stand of trees in somewhere like georgia. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Be prepared for tests to come in, inconclusive and then the body dissappears .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,217 ✭✭✭pookie82


    Just saw this thread now - anyone know what the results threw up???


  • Posts: 5,780 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    THey had a Press conference and it really showed nothing. THey are doing an Autopsey (sp) A reporter from Fox news will be going with them as a witness.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 322 ✭✭LCDeelite


    I have always thought the idea that Big Foot exist is utter sh1te. That's just my opinion.

    Well this would be the first time in history that only one hominid is around. Up to 20 odd thousand years ago there were at least two. Neandertal and Erectus. It would not be shocking to me to find out that one of the relict hominids survived closer to historical times, if not even to today. Marco Polo noted a few animals unknown to europe, all of which have been identified except for a "wild man" he saw in mongolia.

    Up until quite recently woolly mammoths were thought to have gone extinct after the last ice age. Turns out they were around in a dwarf state living on islands off the Siberian coasts until the 11th century.

    There have been too many sightings by too many reliable witnesses in various parts of the world, for it to be completely ruled out. If even 1% is not a case of drink, mistaken identity or whatever, then there is something to it. Even Jane Goodall is interested in some of the reports.

    My personal money would be on China or the vast forests of siberia, or the jungles of south east asia(Orang Pendak). I would have discounted the americas for a few reasons, not least of which no relict hominids or great ape fossils have been found there yet. I would have discounted it until I talked with that guy I referenced in my earlier post. I would trust the guy with my life and he is so not the over imaginative type. His details were impressive before. I got the distinct sense of him having observed a living animal(though he reckoned more ape than man). He didn't get much of a view of the feet though, big or not. :D

    There seems to be a lot of evidence for hominid creatures in mongolia for my reading, i think it would be great if they did exist, be a good attraction to have if you owned a zoo.

    It looks like cryptomundo's servers are fried over all this interest

    As some of you know there has been evidence of a bigfoot that has been found. The evidence being a body. This is now a hoax. The body is just a rubber suit. From what I know the aasholes were doing it for money and and they are also doing dodgy stuff on ebay.

    You would have to discount a lot of eyewitness testimony and explain footprints etc. if that were the case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,369 ✭✭✭✭Zillah


    Shocking :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 520 ✭✭✭???


    So??? The eye witness acounts are hideously unreliable, if not utter fabrications. Foot prints are easily faked. No piece of circumstantial evidence for big foot has ever panned out!

    It seems I am not as dismissive of eyewitness testimony as you are so.

    Look at bfro.com - they have dozens of reports from different people. Even if they made up half of it(don't think so - who would do so many??), some hallucinations, drunkiness, drugs, poor eyesight(?)etc. then there are some hard to reject, coming from reliable sources. Plus most of them share the same characteristics.
    I wouldn't be so sceptical as to say all bigfoot stories are just one big hoax.

    Men's claim of Bigfoot carcass isn't worth Squatch
    FOR FANS, DISAPPOINTING ENDING TO FROZEN HAIRY 'BODY'
    By Shelby Martin
    Mercury News
    Article Launched: 08/20/2008 01:31:43 AM PDT

    Melting ice uncovered a hoax this week, as the "Bigfoot" found in a Georgia woods turned out to be . . . a rubber Halloween costume.

    Bigfoot hunters Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer had tossed their find in a freezer and frozen it in a solid chunk of ice - to preserve it, they said. The two men finally turned over the freezer and on Sunday, Bigfoot enthusiasts waited with bated breath as the apparent 7-foot-7 inch "body" slowly defrosted at an undisclosed location.

    After hours of waiting, a dark patch of hair emerged. Steve Kulls, executive director of Squatchdetective.com, told Fox that he extracted a hair sample and burned it. It was apparently made of synthetic fibers and "melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair," Kulls said. An hour later, the group's fears were confirmed when further melting revealed a rubber foot.

    "It's heart-wrenching," said Bob Schmalzbach, vice president of Searching for Bigfoot Inc., in an interview with Fox News. "We thought it was the answer to a mystery that's been going on for too long."

    As of Tuesday, the two Georgia men who perpetrated the hoax were nowhere to be found. According to the Searching for Bigfoot's Web site, the organization plans to pursue legal action against the men.
