Big Foot Proven to be Another Hoax with DNA
Posted on August 16, 2008 at 9:12 am (PST)
The Big Foot claims have once again proved to be a hoax. DNA tests proved that one of the two samples of DNA taken from the body in the picture above came from a human, and the other was 96 percent from an opossum.
The Georgia Bigfoot Body story is a hoax and a scam, started by two guys in Georgia. The "body" is a widely available Halloween costume that sells for $499 stuffed into a large cooler, with some animal entrails laid on top. This now debunked hoax/scam was being orchestrated by a notorious Las Vegas con-man and promoter named Carmine Thomas Biscardi. The hoax involved Biscardi, Mathew Gary Whitton (a Sherriff deputy), Rick Dyer, Martin Whitton, and Loren Coleman. The hoax was orchestrated to help boost interest in one of the men’s Big Foot tracking web sites.
One mistake the hoaxers made was when sheriff deputy, Matthew Gary Whitton, went to the airport to meet a "scientist" who he claimed came to Georgia to examine the "body." Various people figured out that the "scientist" was actually the deputy’s own brother, Martin Whitton.
Looks like Big Foot is still as real as ghosts.

The Bigfoot phenomenon is improtant only in asmuch as it relates to what is in the heart of every child no matter how old they are. It is my feeling that man cannot kill bigfoot. But what does Bigfoot and Gnomes and Lake Dragons mean? The issue is SO important. PLEASE if you have time find this book, ask the (any) used bookstore manager to help you find it: Indian Legends of the Pacific Northwest by Ella E. Clarke 1958. University of California Press.

The comparison of Big foot to ghosts is rediculous, there is way more proof of the existance of ghosts then any of the legends of our lands, Big foot belongs in the catigory of the lock ness monster and other ” creatures ” claimed to be walking earth. Ghosts is almost at the point of being a fact of life.
