Bigfoot!

[jeff the cheff]

So they found bigfoot and stuffed him in a cooler, not a walk in fridge but a cooler. DNA tests are coming soon and there are supposedly a whole family of them still.

Yeah, one of the guys in this was already called out for bullsh*t last time he found "Bigfoot." Remember a couple months ago when everyone thought this guy had evidence of an alien and it was a picture of a f*cking chair or something? People are ridiculous.



EDIT: If it's not a fursuit full of pig guts it's some poor guy with hypertrichosis

I'm with Hannah. If that's Bigfoot, call me Santa.

[ToTheNines]

I saw the press conference today, he dodged every question.

Besides, who the **** would kill Bigfoot?

[Raph's Girl]

Im going with the "It's a fraking hoax" thing.

[VaughnMichael]

I'm gonna call bullsh1t on this one also.

[KROW]

...

Bigfake!

[Spitfire]

Um the guy who invented Big Foot died several years ago and told his family it was him who created the hoax to begin with. So I call BS on everything Big Foot.

This is what I remember reading but it's off someones blog what I read was in a newspaper

Ray Wallace, who started one of the most notorious myths of our time -- the legend of Bigfoot -- has died. Wallace died of heart failure Nov. 26 at a Washington state nursing home, at the age of 84. Wallace's family feels that they can finally reveal the truth: Wallace made up Bigfoot.
For the last 40 years, the legend of Bigfoot has grown larger than the mythical monster itself.
Wallace, a native of Clarksdale, Mo., used photos, footprints, and Sasquatch sightings that convinced some people that Bigfoot was real. But his family says it was all a hoax.

invented?? No...there's always been legends of a hairy type creature all over the world so no he didn't invent it. Gave it a name yes, invent no. He did admit to hoaxing it but there's so many cultures with similar myths:

Australia - Yowie Yahoo (a miniturized version)
Nepal/Tibet - Yeti
China - Yeren
Indonesia - Orang Pendek (also Sumatra), Ebu Gogo
North America - Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Skunk Ape (Florida), Fouke Monster (Arkansas), the Zoobies (California), Pennsylvania Creature (Pennyslvania), Lake Worth Monster (Texas), Momo the Monster (Missouri, Louisiana), Nuk Luk (Northwest Territories), Old Yellow Top, Pitt Lake Giant (British Columbia, Georgia, South Carolina, Pennsylvania)
Mongolia - Almas
Afghanistan and Pakistan - Barmanou
Siberia - Chuchunaa
Scotland - Fear Liath
Japan - Hibagon
Philippines - Kapre
Turkey, Bulgaria - Karakoncolos
Vietnam - Người Rừng
Malaysia - Orang Mawas

Teddy Roosevelt himself wrote about a human being killed by one.
The Mormons have a myth about Bigfoot as well. They think it's really Cain (who's still alive as punishment for killing Able).

My dad claims to have seen one (after years of trying to find evidence of em). He saw one cross the road on his way home one night. He lives in Grey's Harbor, Washington which supposadly has a rather large Bigfoot population.

THANK YOU Raph's Girl.

While this instance is almost definitelly forgery, I get so sick of people bringing up Ray Wallace as though similar myth's and such didn't outdate him by millenia.

Because he did invent "Big Foot". I didn't say he invented the myth of a giant hairy ape man in other countries I said he invented "Big Foot". Learn how to read. The title of the thread is "Big Foot!" If someone is claiming to see Big Foot it's obviously BS because this guy made Big Foot up.

[CudleyCowlick]

Yeah so the DNA tests are in, one of them is definetely human and the other one is like 96% opossum or something. Of course, those who want to believe say that the tests may have been screwed up.

Apparently the body is in an undisclosed location and they are going to take more samples.

Is Bigfoot real? I'm not gonna rule that out, but is this Bigfoot?

Not really. At this point the term has become the Standard American term for the giant Hairy ape (outpeforming yeti by alot) so it is fair to use it.

[That Matt Guy]

bigfoot is my favourite monster truck.

[Ninjinister]

Has this thing been proven not to be 'squatch yet so we can all move on?

[Raph's Girl]

OMG!! It's a gorilla costume! *rotflmao* One would you know suspect these people as being hoaxers since they apperantly own a company that SELLS BIGFOOT MEMORABILIA!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080820/...foot_hoax_dc_1

No wonder Bigfoot failed a DNA test. Researchers said on Tuesday the hairy heap claimed by two men to be the corpse of the mythical half-ape, half-human creature was actually a full-body rubber gorilla costume.

The discovery adds another dimension to what appears to be an elaborate hoax by Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the owners of a company that offers Bigfoot merchandise, that sparked an Internet frenzy last week.

The pair said they discovered the Bigfoot corpse while hiking in the woods of northern Georgia, with a dubious photo -- and the commercial interests of the alleged discoverers -- drawing interest from Australia to Europe and even The New York Times.

The men held a news conference last Friday which revealed the results of tests on genetic material from the alleged remains, which were frozen in ice and placed in a freezer, did not prove the creature's existence.

Bigfoot creatures are said to live in the forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest.

Steve Kulls, executive director of the Web site Squatchdetective.com and host of Squatchdetective Radio, said in an online statement that the rubber suit was discovered after the researchers thawed the "corpse."

He said he was part of a team that involved Tom Biscardi, host of a weekly online radio show about the Bigfoot who was contacted by the alleged discoverers.

Kulls' statement, also carried by Biscardi's Web site www.searchingforbigfoot.com, referred to the claim that the corpse of a creature fitting the description known as Bigfoot had been discovered.

"This has since been proven a lie," said Kulls.

In a detailed statement, Kulls said researchers had used heat to speed up the thawing of the shaggy remains. Within an hour, they realized at least part of the head was hollow and, over the next hour, a break appeared near the feet.

"As the team and I began examining this area ... I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot," said Kulls.

The whereabouts of Whitton and Dyer were not known on Tuesday.

As it would be.

I mean, even if Bigfeetz did exist, wouldn't he be dead by now? Same with Nessie... or are these legends immortal?

There's family groups of em. As I've said there's various legends about Bigfoot type creatures around the world. According to what I've heard the Bigfoots migrate. September is when they migrate up north here in Washington State. Mostly around Grey's Harbor.

Same can be said for Nessie. I once read that there was this band around the Northern Hemisphere and it's in this band that the lake monsters live. Altho it doesn't take into an account the ones in Australia.

There's lake monsters in nearly every country. There's multiple monsters in each U.S. state and in every Canadian provence. The most famous North American lake monsters are Champ (In Lake Champlain), and Ogopogo (in British Columbia)
