I confess to a healthy interest in all things paranormal. Alas , not too many of my friends or family do the same. I am always on the lookout for someone to play Mulder to my Scully.
Bigfoot lives, or is dead depending on your perspective

I follow the adventures of Bigfoot aka Yeti aka Sasquatch aka Mande Burung with growing interest . (Read earlier UD coverage of the peripatetic creature here 1, 2)
Out here in the Bay Area, we are waiting with bated breath for a press conference this Friday at Palo Alto where definitive proof of the Sasquatch is to be displayed
Three Bigfoot seekers, including a Redwood City man who released a documentary titled “Bigfoot Lives,” claim they may have the body of one and plan to release a photo and what they claim is DNA evidence at a news conference in Palo Alto on Friday.(link)
Two of them are Georgia residents have claimed to have found the body of Bigfoot in the woods of North Georgia.I just can’t wait! Of course the spoilsports in the Georgia forestry department deny all knowledge of said Bigfoot and claim that:
the largest wildlife they are aware of in the state are black bears and white-tail deer.
Meanwhile, India is not far behind. That worthy publication The Mail of UK reported earlier this month:
Scientists have used microscopes to analyse of strands of hair found caught on some rocks in jungle near the India-Bangladesh border.The tests showed the thick, wiry hairs do not belong to any of the most common wild animals known to live in the area.Instead, they bear a ’startling resemblance’ to some collected half a century ago by Everest conqueror Sir Edmund Hillary.
Researcher Ian Redmond said: ‘The hairs are the most positive evidence yet that a yeti might possibly exist. It might be that the region this animal is inhabiting is remote enough for it to remain undiscovered so far. We are very excited.’ (link)
The hair were found in India and sent to the UK for DNA testing .Probably because Yeti science is in its infancy in India. But out there in England with all their experience with crop circles and the like – its a piece of cake! Per the article:
The hair in question were found in the remote West Garo hills in the Indian state of Meghalaya, caught in rock on a steep slope where the ape-like creature may have been sunning himself. In 2003, a forester claimed to have seen a yeti there three days in a row.
Of course, the Ramsay brothers knew about this long ,long ago -1991 to be precise- the year that they created this gem. (H/T to Santosh)
Truly enlightened, the Yeti has understood the importance of having an international presence and lives up to its name with a global footprint.
I want to believe!
UPDATE: My fellow Bigfoot -ites we have been cruelly hoaxed but not as cruelly as SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi
Tom Biscardi had paid an “undisclosed sum” — Internet rumors put it at $50,000 — to Georgia residents Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer for their frozen “corpse” and the privilege of trotting them, but not the body, out in front of TV cameras.
Alas, an independent investigator whom he sent to invesigate the claims of the body discovered that the body was a Halloween costume that had been frozen.(link)
The Biscardi team immediately went into crisis mode. Biscardi called Whitton and Dyer at their California hotel.They admitted it was a hoax and agreed to sign a promissory note at a meeting set for 8 a.m. Pacific time at the hotel.But when Biscardi got there, he “found that they had left.”
Maybe I should update the post to say “I want to believe – but I can’t!”
