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.
