This has been breaking news and they are going to hold a news conference real soon from what I've been reading. But I saw two photos of it as well and don't know what to think. but it really looks like Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.

Don't know if this is a joke or serious but it's making pages everywhere.

Their website is being hammered and keeps going down. trying to find some news outlet syndicating the story...

Have any reputable news organizations reported this story?

PPI Karl

I don't think it's an issue any world-class news agency would take up right away.  That's why Fox News has.

If you go to google news and search for bigfoot then sort by date, it seems FOX news has been picking it up.

Also looking at this Chupucabra video, that is one interesting canine and it seems to correlate with all the Chupucabra hunters findings in the past, that it seems like a canine of some sorts. some thinking it was a large hairless wolf.. hmm...

So just because they have never seen it before it is automatically a chupacabra suspect?  I find that pretty ridiculous.  That animal was pretty small to take on full size cattle as the "chupacabra" suspects claim.

As for bigfoot, if the evidence is supported, this could be exciting news in the world.  I can't jump to any conclusion until more is known.  It's hard to say from just a picture.  I'd be interested to listen or watch the press conference.  Does anyone know if it will be aired?

well I agree about the hair less dog or something but can't for big foot

I too am extremely skeptical about this story. The face in the original photo looks like a mask on a dead bear carcass. I would only get excited about such a find if it were being presented by a credentialled primatologist.

ROTFLMAO!!!

Yes you too can be Bigfoot for Halloween.
Sounds interesting...Go on.

Who fills a freezer with water by the way?  If these are experienced hunters as they claim, wouldn't they know how to freeze their catch properly?  I hate to pull the redneck card out for this one but it seems deserving...which in turn means I have to post a joke.   ;D

Two rednecks were hunting one day and all of a sudden one of them keels over, out like a light.
The other redneck, not knowing what to do quickly calls 911. When the operator asks "what's wrong?", He says "I don't know we were just walking along and Bubba just falls over.
The operator asks "Is he dead?" and the redneck says "I don't know that either".
The operator says "well you need to make sure!"
The redneck says okay and lays the phone down.
A few seconds pass and then the operator hears "cha click, boom!"
The redneck comes back on the line and asks "Now What?"

I thought from the beginning that the image of the carcass seemed too much like that of Harry from Harry and the Hendersons...  fake.  something about it didn't seem right...  however, lots of news affiliates are picking this up now... it's spreading.  If this is a hoax, it's a good one and it's really getting good media coverage.  If it's genuine, well, just slap me and call me silly.

google news search on bigfoot
http://news.google.com/news?ned=us&hl=en&ned=us&scoring=n&q=bigfoot&btnG=Search


this article claims one of the people who claim to have found bigfoot has been involved in hoaxes before. 3 times in fact.. hmm..

Yeah I can't believe that Chupucabra one made so much news, maybe trying to de-mystify the Chupucabra as an unknown type of canine instead of the half man/monster it was thought to be?  It looks like a furless canine to me.

The press conference, apparently, was a letdown.  This one's losing it's credibility faster than even Richard Hoagland.

:)  that is funny...   as they dig themselves into deeper holes and completely discredit themselves it sounds like some publicity stunt. Since their efforts to prove their possession of Harry from Harry and the Hendersons.

However this news outlet found some shocking footage on youtube!  ;D

saw press conference look like will be other info. after autopsy

PPI Tim

Where's Geraldo Rivera.
I want to see the interview.
with the cookie monster.
Sounds interesting...Go on.

Brian Johnson

The DNA analysis showed that of the two samples that were provided, one was human. The other was from a possum. Very disappointing, I wanted to believe so badly.

PPI Glenn

They got a DNA analysis back already? I heard that it hadn't been done yet. In any case it appears to be a hoax (go figure.) More than one person is claiming it's a costume and they know who made it.

Bigfoot is a possum? Shoot!
If that's the case then Brian Miller has a bigfoot in his backyard.
They did discover a new bigfoot.
A Redneck Bigfoot.

We'll through in a cooler we got from smart and final.

ok fine that nice but we will see. I know they have a doc/ film coming out called big foot lives.  Could be a marketing scam.


PPI Tim

Is the movie they are coming out with sponsered by Nike?
Sounds interesting...Go on.

PPI Karl

I'll bet it's a Fox studios production, since Fox was the only news station to give the story any "credible" air time.
