A yeti in Poland!

When one thinks of the places that the yeti may inhabit, we think of the inhospitable areas of south east asia, western china and as far as bigfoot is concerned the Pacific NorthWest.

But there has been newspaper accounts of a Yeti sighting in Poland.

Piotr Kowalski, 27, filmed the “monstrous, hairy creature” while walking in Poland’s Tatra Mountains.

The figure ran into his view as he videoed a mountain goat in an area rich in rumours of a Yeti for centuries.

Mr Kowalski, on holiday from Warsaw, said: “I saw this huge ape-like form hiding behind the rocks. When I saw it, it was like being struck by a thunderbolt.

“I never really believed the local stories of a wild mountain ape-man. But now I do.”

Real or Fake? You decide :)

Massacre at Bluff Creek!!

Almost to the day of the great bigfoot Hoax fiasco of August 2008, comes another story which sadly is very real. Bigfoot  researcher MK Davis  had gained much respect with his stabilisation of the Patterson/Gimlin film. This can be found here.

However, he has been continuing his research upon the film and  the word was that he had found something truly remarkable, something that had been overlooked by every other person who had studied the 40 year old footage. This ‘revelation’ would  indeed shock many people and shake  the bigfoot community to its core.

What is this much heralded revelation I here you say?

Well, apparently, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were involved in a massive cover up in which groups of men gunned down a “tribe” of Bigfoot late in October 1967. The famed October 20, 1967 Patterson-Gimlin Bigfoot footage, according to Davis, is merely the deceptive end result of the killing fields.

His supporters also add that John Green, a true legend in the field of bigfoot research, was at the scene  to clean up the body parts of the dead bigfoot. They back up their hypothesis with ‘photographic’ evidence.

This is highly slanderous to the likes of Bob Gimlin and John Green.

We have a bigfoot body – again!

Remember those two individuals who last year, conspired with Tom Biscardi and claimed that they had in their possesion an actual body of a dead Bigfoot. The bigfoot community literally went ape in the hope that this could indeed be the real deal.  The level of interest which was generated around the world  assured that the main protagonists had more than their 15 minutes of fame.

Their press conferance to let the world know of their ‘discovery’ was broadcast live on CNN.  Not surprisingly considering Biscardis involvement,  the whole sordid saga began to unravel itself shortly afterwards  when the ‘body’ was exposed as a monkey costume. Biscardi played the poor victim – again and the saga was soon forgotten and everyone carried on with their lives as before.

The two individuals however, have tried to cash in on their notoriety, with little success. Their website barely gets 300 visitors a month. It seems that everyone else has moved on.

As we approach the first anniversary of the hoax, they are now claiming on their website that they have a body of a dead bigfoot and indeed have a posted a couple of photographs on their website. These are however  just as unconvincing as the first time around.

The whole scheme has clearly been hatched as some kind of publicity stunt but  unfortunately for then the story has not gained any exposure on the various bigfoot sites/forums.This is clearly the  last thing  they wanted.

It is time for them to jump off the bigfoot hoax bandwagaon and rejoin the real world.

Bigfoot News stories spanning 170 years

It is a generally thought that the Bigfoot mystery is a recent addition to our mythgology, and that it began with the first showing of the famous Patterson film of a female Bigfoot quickly walking away from the camera. Skeptics are quick to say that the publicity bought about by the film single handedly created the Bigfoot mystery.

This is clearly not the case as i have now amassed a multitude of newspaper reports dating back to 1839. What is interesting however, are the descriptions given of the various sightings a hundred plus years ago. This was before the notion of a Bigfoot had entered the public conciousness.

The term ‘Wildman’ is commonly used in these early reports and as one witness comments , ‘His body was as hairy as that of a bear’.

There is another 19th century newspaper account of an individual convinced that he had seen a Gorilla while out hunting. Someone writes back commenting that he too had seen the ‘critter’ but he ‘walks like a man’.

The various newspaper reports can be seen here

Another Bigfoot found – WOW!!

Watch the youtube video to learn about this mans amazing discovery!!!

Still Skeptical? here is the lastest one.

Ok, so i didnt really expect you to take this seriously, in all honesty, this is what the bigfoot world needed after the anger and embarrasment of the Georgia hoax fiasco. The guy is very funny and certainly made me laugh out loud. In fact it made my wife and daughter laugh out loud also!!

For the latest information regarding the Georgia Hoax visit cryptmundo.com. I dont really want to waste any more time on this saga

More info about the Bigfoot hoax saga

Just finished listening to the Squatchdetective radio show. Steve kulls issued a statement regretting the things he said on the program the night before. I think he realised that he embarrased and let down a lot of people. He will mention more details in the next few days and also on his radio show.

Billy Willard also mentioned that he will be cutting all ties with Tom Biscardi and Searchingforbigfoot inc.

Other snippets of information i garnered from the chat lines on their radio blog you may find interesting, but have not been confirmed (to my knowledge), so take the information as is.

1. Whitten claims that Biscardi told him to buy the Costume and that Steve Kull was in on it.

2. The two Georgia boys also claim that Tom Biscardi coached them through all of this.

3. Whitten has been officially fired from his job.

Its Official. It was a hoax after all!!

Over at Tom Biscardis website searchingforbigfoot.com, Steve kulls aka the sasquatch detective and close personal friend of Biscardi has released part a news release given to Fox news. An extract from the press release is as follows..

 “At that time we contacted Mr. Biscardi who gave us permission to begin an expedited melting process. We set up a salamander heater to heat the freezer. Within one hour we were able to see the partially exposed head, as I was now able to touch it, I was able to feel that it seemed mostly firm, but unusually hollow in one small section. This was yet another ominous sign. Within the next hour of thaw, a break appeared up near the feet area. As the team and I began examining this area near the feet, I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot. “

He continues

“At that point we immediately contacted, Tom Biscardi and advised him of the situation and he began to take action on his end. Later that day, Tom Biscardi informed us that both Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer admitted it was a costume. They reportedly agreed to sign a promissory note and admission of what they had done, and set a meeting in their hotel room in California for 8AM on August 17th, 2008.

At that time I drew up the documents for Mr. Biscardi. On August 17th, 2008 Tom Biscardi went to the hotel where Dyer and Whitton were staying and found that they had left. At this time action is being instigated against the perpetrators of this fraud. Tom Biscardi asked us to contact you, the press, and share all that we have discovered.”

The problem i have with this story is that no criticism is labelled at Biscardi at all. Once again Biscardi will somehow wriggle his way out of this one claiming that he was also the unfortunate victim of the hoax.

I dont think it was coincidence that the first Person apart from the main antogonists to be allowed to view the body was a personal friend of Biscardis who would no doubt expose the hoax ( as planned) and then lay the blame squarely at the feet of the two ‘finders’ of the ‘body’.

Biscardi may not have made have made a fortune off this but certainly he has received a lot of publicity. And as they say ‘any publicity is good publicity’.

Will Teflon Tom wriggle his way out of this one. Only time will tell. but i think he will.
  
On a lighter note..

It would seem that even CNN are trying to make money off this. They are selling these T-Shirts . Good ole capitalism at work here. Wonder if Teflon Tom will be buying one?

I like it lol!! But wont be buying one. They only do a large size.

And Finally, since this saga first broke last week, i have had in excess of 300,000 hits to my site and many e-mails. But surprisingly not one additional entry on my guestbook. If you are reading this please sign my guestbook. This is very strange and i Hope there is not a probem with the page.

19-08-2008 Bigfoot body hoax RIP.

Evidence that Biscardi is telling the truth….Yeah right!!

 I have had many e-mails from visitors to my site asking where they could see the pictures that Biscardi showed during the press conference pertaining to the head of the ‘creature’ and another one showing a live ‘bigfoot’. Here they are…

These photographs are just as questionable as the bigfoot in the freezer picture.

Biscardi is taking a massive gamble if he has nothing at all. Like they say, the bigger the story, the bigger the fall, and this time he hasnt got a mentally deranged woman to blame.

Bigfoot press conference fuels hoax theory.

The press conference came and went and we are all none the wiser. Biscardi did his usual showmanship act. Self publicising himself at every opportunity. It did show that this has all the hallmarks of a scam and Mr Biscardi is indeed running the proceedings and the other two characters are merely the bit players, going along with the ride hoping they will get some payoff that Biscardi has no doubt promised them.

Earlier Biscardi had said “We’ll release the DNA analysis, and we’ll have the body right next to the two boys…then you can see it’s real, that its not bullshit.”

The DNA threw up nothing ‘surprising’. The body was conspicous by its absence and yes the whole press conference had the aroma of bullshit. Of the variety emanating from Biscardis mouth.

The full press conference can be found here

The top bigfoot websites have also been carefully following the story and keeping a skeptical but interested eye on proceedings. They have a lot of good information regarding the hoax.
