Comments on: Gotta Give Biscardi a Hand…Of Unknown Origin

So how did they alter the DNA of the “bear paw” so that it comes back “not in the system” when analyzed by a fairly prominent DNA lab? (I’m assuming bears and other animals are “in the system”.)

Then you have the chiropractor that has signed an affidavit saying it is not human and not from a bear. And even a layman looking as the X-Ray can see that it is similar to a human hand but oddly different.

I’m not saying its definitely genuine, but there is some pretty good evidence starting to tip the scale in that direction. I wouldn’t be so quick to dismiss it as a mistake or hoax at this point in time.

+1 for bear paw. Skinned and partially defleshed, and declawed. The pinky is enlarged and angled in exactly the same way.

Bear paw. No doubts.

well, that’s definitely a bear paw. take a look on this picture.

(ok, it’s the paw of a cave-bear, but they are close to our bears.)… if you would cut off the claws, it would be very similar to our “Sassy hand”.

I agree it looks like a bear paw.

I’ve skinned out many black bear and that last knuckle is clearly where the claws were attached.

a bear skeleton is extremely close to a human except it has no collar bones. they look very much like a human except of course size in some cases.

i wont believe a thing biscardi says unless i see documents and can verify them independently. meaning he has to submit the hand for testing. they take the sample and do the test and biscardi has nothing to do with it.

biscardi is a very poor pt barnum who lies. he is nothing more than a self promoting side show Carny.

One thing Tom Bishoaxi forgot to mention is that before Don Monroe (who actually lives in the State of Washington), gave it to him he gave it to another guy named Richard Grover who paraded it around for several months. Richard ran it by several Doctors in the Seattle area as well as Dr. W. H. Fahrenbach who conveniently kept screwing up samples for DNA testing so he could quote “need the whole hand itself to conduct proper DNA analysis.” Yeah right.

When Richard couldn’t achieve the results/attention that Don Monroe desired, he pulled it from him and sold his soul to the devil a.k.a. Tom Biscardi. And we all know how much the media loves a good hoaxer (see; New York Times, NBC, CNN).

it could be any number of possible creatures hand. there is a story around these parts in the old west, during the gold rush, the stage coach driver was in a panic because he thought he saw someone’s foot along side the road. upon further investigations the marshal realized it was the hind foot from a bear, skinned and the claws cut off.

Well who knows now maybe we might have to eat a little crow about Mr.B. Still think he is a looney but that is why he or some one like him will find the big guy first.

I’m a little more optimistic about this now.

The DNA lab he sent the sample to is accredited and well-established.

The DNA lab stated that the sample is not from a known animal, which would rule out a bear.

One possible explanation for the removed fingertips is that the person who originally turned in the hand is concerned that the corpse might be traceable to them. Either they killed the cryptid and are concerned about liability or public outrage, or perhaps they were able to collect the hand from a cryptid in government possession.

And the structure of the fingers in the X-Ray do seem very strange. The digits opposite the thumb are as large or larger than the “index” finger.

Very interesting. If everything is legitimate this could wind up being bigger than the Patterson film.
