I agree. I'll believe it when I see it, but it would be really cool to see one. Still, be on the lookout for a giant hoax alert...
Here's some info I found on http://current.com/items/89196387_they_found_bigfoot?xid=216
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 12, 2008 BIGFOOT BODY FOUND DNA evidence and photo evidence to be presented at a PRESS CONFERENCE to be held on Date: Friday, August 15, 2008 Time: From 12Noon-1:00pm Place: Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto (A Crown Plaza Resort) 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California 94306

BIGFOOT BODY FOUND - EVIDENCE AND DNA DETAILS TO BE PRESENTED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15th
FROM 12 N00N TO 1:00PM AT THE CABANA HOTEL-PALO ALTO IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA
A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as “Bigfoot” has been found in the woods in northern Georgia.
DNA evidence and photo evidence of the creature will be presented in a press conference on Friday, August 15th from 12 Noon to 1:00pm at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, 94306. The press conference will not be open to the public. It will only be open to credentialed members of the press. Here are some of the vital statistics on the “Bigfoot” body: *The creature is seven feet seven inches tall. *It weighs over five hundred pounds. *The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like. *It is male. *It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes. *It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot. *The feet are flat and similar to human feet. *Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at the heel. *From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are eleven and three-quarters inches long and six and one-quarter inches wide. *The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same day that the body was found.) *The teeth are more human-like than ape-like. *DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press conference on Friday, August 15th.

To other animals... you know, to prove to everyone that it's not just a bear or an ape or something.
This is not the first time a Bigfoot body (http://"http://www.livescience.com/strangenews/top-10-monsters.html") has been claimed to have been found. A man named Tom Biscardi, founder of something called the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization, once claimed he had captured a Bigfoot. On Aug. 19, 2005, Biscardi appeared on the radio show "Coast to Coast with George Noory." Biscardi claimed his group had captured a Bigfoot a week earlier, a male beast that weighed over 400 pounds and stood 8-feet tall. He said he would be presenting photos of it several days later. It turned out to be a hoax.
Seems as though Tom Biscardi has done this before...

Hadn't seen that one. There seems to be either some cross-breeding (wild dogs & coyotes etc.) or bad birth-defects or maybe even some "natural selection" occuring out there in the wild. Show me Big Foot and I may take notice - assuming it's even a remotely believable story & pictures.

Because just like anything else they have to have time to (loose,Debunk,Airbrush,Payoff,Intimidate,Cover up) and plan ole make it so twisted that no one will ever really know it is or what it prove/disproves. So sit back and hang on for the ride. I found a UFO I have pics and a piece of it but I'm waiting on uncle sam to Approve or pay me off before I can show anyone! LOL

Awesome comment. But it's so true! I mean, the absolute best they can do is say: "The DNA doesn't match anything we have on record".
What I'm betting is that the body is so decomposed that it's unrecognizeable. Even though it still weighs 500lbs, we won't be able to make out what it looks like--then the "experts" will give their opinion and blah blah blah...that is, if it's not found out to be a hoax already...
...hmmmm...I wonder if they can clone it?

There's a lot of good evidence supporting the existence of the paranormal that can't be disproved.
I've also had a personal experience with the paranormal; nothing major, but something that can't be disproved.
Researching the unexplained is one thing. Getting in front of a camera to bull-shiznit about 'feeling a presence' or taking photos in a dusty old building and claiming the dust specks are ghosts is fools work for fools entertainment.

So I'm assuming BOTH of you didn't watch EITHER video. A flying brick and moving shadows that don't set off motion detectors aren't exactly what I'd call dust. :shakehead
REAL paranormal researchers disregard "orbs" aka dust. And if you watched the second video, you would see that the same guys that caught the footage also DISPROVED some claims of activity there. They didn't stroll in assuming everything is true; they went in looking for realistic explanations first.
However, I'll agree with your statement, but NOT in reference to what I posted. There are plenty of people that are like "OMG LOOK AT THAT ORB!" or they go into a 700 year old house and scream every time the floor creaks. I hate that shiznit and it gives all paranormal researchers a bad wrap.

Everyone I know is convinced my house is haunted. Their reasoning? It's old, the old folks who lived here died (though not here - one died in an MVA, the other in the hospital from cancer), and the basp00get is creepy (it's stone). That's what they base my house being haunted on. Nobody's ever seen or heard a ghost, but since it's an old house in the country with a creepy basp00get it's haunted.
I've lived here 30 months and the only thumps and noises I hear in the night are from those furry assholes I call cats.

Although I do believe one of my grandparents visited me after they died (I live in their old house). One night I was listening to War Pigs by Black Sabbath on the stero very loudly. All of a sudden the door bell decided to launch off the wall and hit the floor. There is no way that it just could have fallen off (it's clipped on). Apparently one of my grandparents didn't like that song :hick:

Bigfoot Hunters Press Conference Reveals... Little
The much-antited Bigfoot press conference Friday afternoon in Palo Alto, Calif., revealed little more than two men — introduced by a self-styled Sasquatch seeker — claiming to possess the 7-foot "body" of a "bipedal creature" on ice in a secret location, awaiting an autopsy.
The men, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, were joined in the press conference by Tom Biscardi, host of an Bigfoot Internet radio show, who said the men approached him with their "find," saying, "We want to talk to Tom Biscardi... They didn't want to meet anyone else."
Biscardi showed reporters two blurry photos, claiming one was the mouth of the "creature" while the other was another creature running through the Georgia woods. The men claimed they "stumbled on the creature," but would not reveal more because they were concerned about it being an "endangered species."
Biscardi reiterated his invitation to FOX News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly to come to Georgia and view the body, and plugged his Internet radio show.
He said there wouldn't be anything more revealed Friday, but promised that he would "assemble" a group of scientists to examine the alleged corpse.
Whitton recounted how he and Dyer found the "body," and said that more Bigfoots "paralleled" them as they were loading it onto a flatbed truck.
Biscardi said Whitton and Dyer had gotten death threats from Sasquatch fanatics, whom Whitton deemed "psychos."
None of this was likely to dissuade skeptics, even among Bigfoot experts, who questioned Biscardi's past ventures and noticed that the body in the freezer looked a lot like a Sasquatch Halloween costume available on the Internet .
"It definitely looks like our costume," Jerry Parrino, owner of TheHorrorDome.com, told FOXNews.com.
"This 'body' has little to do with Bigfoot and everything to do with a Sasquatch costume that someone developed after watching too many gorilla movies," warned Loren Coleman , who runs the influential Cryptomundo blog devoted to strange and unknown animals. "The teeth that seem to have been placed in the mouth could be my late mother's false teeth."
"I've had interactions with Tom Biscardi in the past, and based on that history, I would say that anything he is involved in is suspect," Idaho State anthropologist and Bigfoot investigator Jeffrey Meldrum told Scientific American .
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Reserve spokesman Tom Mackenzie told the Associated Press his agency isn't taking the claim seriously and won't investigate.
"It's not on endangered species on any list that we've got," he said.

Also...
'Supposedly' the possum DNA was from the intestines - possibly what the creature had eaten. My question - what genius scientist would take DNA from the intestines when trying to figure out what species it is? Why not test one of the millions of hairs on it?
