Fur Real? 4 Articles On Bigfoot

‘Bigfoot’ press conference reveals possum DNA Bigfoot lived in North Georgia, and his cousins are still there. That’s what a pair of Clayton County outdoorsmen claim. But if they have definitive evidence to prove it, it wasn’t presented at a press conference here Friday where they had said they would make believers out of everyone. Dozens of mostly skeptical reporters showed up, lured by a flurry of interest in the story since pictures of the supposed discovery hit the Internet late last month. Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer said a second round of DNA testing on what they claim is a dead 7-foot bigfoot they say they stumbled upon while hiking in June in North Georgia is still being completed. Of three samples in a preliminary DNA test, one came back inconclusive, one contained traces of human DNA and one had traces of opossum DNA - probably from something the creature ate, they said....
Bigfoot Press Conference Yields Little Evidence, Lots of Scorn It was perhaps the most highly touted press conference of the week, but it didn't reveal much in the way of evidence: Three bigfoot enthusiasts announced today that a series of genetic tests performed on samples taken from a carcass they claim is a Sasquatch came back as a mixture of human and opossum. In addition to the mixed DNA results, Tom Biscardi, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer showed the audience two blurry photos, one of a solitary figure in mixed hardwood forest and another of the mouth of what appeared to be the tongue and teeth of a primate. Nevertheless, fielding questions from a packed room in Palo Alto, the trio called their discovery groundbreaking and held to their claim that the animal they are currently holding in "an undisclosed location" is indeed the legendary bigfoot....
Fur Real? Pair Say They Have Bigfoot Bigfoot has been found in the Georgia woods and is being held in a cooler at an undisclosed location. So say two self-proclaimed Bigfoot trackers, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, who held a news conference in Palo Alto on Friday to publicize their claim of having found the elusive Sasquatch, or at least the body of one, in the northern part of the Peach State. The exact location is being kept secret, they said, to protect other Bigfoots still wandering there. The public was excluded from the conference, but a picture of the supposed 500-plus-pound dead biped was posted online at on http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com, looking like a mangy mound of fur, entrails and the pinched face of a close cousin to "Star Wars' " Chewbacca -- all crammed into a water-filled icebox. Some Bigfoot enthusiasts were less than convinced....
Bigfoot, Humboldt County’s native son “We want everyone to know that Bigfoot is from Humboldt,” says the media and marketing spokesman from the Humboldt County Convention & Visitors Bureau. His comments come after two men held a press conference today to proclaim that they found Bigfoot in northern Georgia — and have the body on ice to prove it. Stenger points out that Bigfoot was born in Humboldt about 50 years ago when he was sighted — and named (he had previously been referred to as Sasquatch) — for the huge footprints reportedly found at Willow Creek, about an hour east of Arcata. “Within three days, it made huge international headlines,” Stenger said. From there, Bigfoot became a huge cottage industry up there: the Bigfoot Museum and Statue, the annual Bigfoot celebration, even the local Blue Lake Casino claims Bigfoot as its mascot....
