Has Bigfoot been found?

By Donald Sensing

Will scientists get a chance to examine the corpse of a Bigfoot creature? Four men claim to have one.

Two Northern California men and two Georgians say they've got a body, a photo and DNA evidence pertaining to the elusive forest-dwelling man-ape — and that they'll reveal all at a press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday.

"I think you'll find that this is the real deal," Robert Barrows of Redwood City, Calif., told the Bay City News local wire service.

Matthew Whitton, a cop in Clayton County, Ga., and his friend Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer, say they recently found the body in the woods of northern Georgia.

Veteran Bigfoot tracker Tom Biscardi said he's examined the body, and that scientists will get their chance soon.
The Inquisitr web site has posted what are claimed to be photos of the creature. Me personally, I always thought that Bigfoot lived in the northwest USA, where it is usually referred to as Sasquatch. I've never heard of such a legend in north Georgia.

Reports and forensic evidence has been found all through the continental U.S., southern Canada, and northern Mexico. Sightings have been reported from Rhode Island.

Where the specimen is concerned, I'm hopeful, but holding my peace until the evidence has been tested. Though the foremost question in my mind is; why go to all that effort just for a hoax? Too much detail.

The Bigfeet (plural?) have migrated to Georgia to avoid extinction from the earthquakes in California...hadn't you heard?
It will be interesting to see if they are able to actually provide a "real" body.

Turned out to be a hoax. The picture's a Halloween costume and one of the guys making the claim is an habitual humbug on the subject.
