Saw this video about three months back on YouTube, so definately recorded before Georgia hoax. So that makes it four for Tom Biscardi now! ‘Knows how to tell a fake’? Lets see, how long until the next one?

Hey, DWA. Yeah, I was wondering where you had gotten off too. Hope the water didn’t get the best of you there. Good to see that you are being a good sport about this whole debate too. You know I agree with you that many of these reports bear follow up. I also agree that some inconsistencies are forgivable if other aspects of the report are solid and compelling.

cliffhanger- I also get a little frustrated when sightings don’t turn up any physical evidence. However, I can understand how the circumstances might prevent that. I know if I saw an “8.5″ foot tall sasquatch (or even if I just thought I did, as the case may be), I wouldn’t be too keen on getting out of the car and snooping around. Then again, these two claim they stopped to ask the ones behind them if they had seen the same thing, so it does seem a bit odd that they wouldn’t think to go look for physical evidence. Maybe in all of the excitement, it slipped their minds or they just didn’t think it was important to do so.

Anyway, I do appreciate it when sightings reports turn up physical evidence of some kind to corroborate them. It does lend a bit more credence to them than a report that exists in a vacuum.

If this guy really is credible, I bet he’s kicking himself now for dealing with this shim-sham artist.

Well, one thing about the distance is that is really didn’t have to be a guess at all. Since they were in their vehicle, with an odometer and likely a “trip meter” they could have set the trip meter or taken an odometer reading at the spot of the sighting then another at the sas road crossing…However I do realize that probably didn’t seem important at the time with all the excitment, and I think it’s safe to assume they didn’t do that or we would have gotten the distance in 10ths of a mile rather than metric. And I would have been much less critical about the height had they given a known physical reference, road sign for example, near the sas used to approximate the height….Well, it would have been nice anyway, but so would a picture, so just beating a dead horse here…

But glad to hear someone got to get out and enjoy the weekend, and the purification must have worked since your up to posting DWA, no disentary lol…..

My personal belief…he’s saying he’s been hoaxed to try to keep himself out of trouble for having had his hands in this Georgia thing when it went off on him…no loss there.

The media is really starting to both trouble me, and tick me off…in this Georgia debacle, the media apparently (and I mean most every group that reported on this), did no background looking into the situation…that story ended up on our front page paper (must have been a reallllllllly slow news day or something)–for all of us here and other sites, it was looking up to be hoax from the get go and most of the news groups treated it like breaking news and took for granted that it was on the level.

The news in general seems to have lost much of its objective manner…jumping into stories and then doing the ole–”whoops, we had it wrong, it was this instead,” but we did get you to watch our channel/read our paper, etc.

I don’t know if the news has become ALL about ratings or journalists are just getting really sloppy, but it is not a good thing. And these latest three ring hoaxes have not done anything to give me confidence in the news media!

You would think he would make a little more effort into investigating these people who have hoaxed and will continue to contact him claiming to have evidence.

Whoa. This sounds nice around here now! Much better.

(I just got back from a backpacking trip. Really awful water, and the necessity to drink same, were involved. A mood lifter is a good thing. At least now I’ll find out whether my water puro techniques work.)

My apologies too. I just think that people who’ve seen something that might exist…well, they might have seen it, and their stories need to be considered in their entirety, and followed up when they sound like, well, this person might have seen this. When folks don’t follow up with detailed questioning of every aspect of a witness’s story, research into the matter suffers. I get a bit impatient when I see that happening, and I think it happens too often. And yeah, I’m not a nice guy then. Sorry for that.

If the distance matter seems off, I’d want to find out why the witness came up with the estimate. When we do the “nobody complains when it’s a deer,” it’s by way of pointing out how insignificant the detail is IF OTHER ASPECTS OF THE REPORT ARE COMPELLING, as a number of the aspects of this one seem to be. To me, that estimate is something I’d want to talk about. But I can forgive a bad estimate if other aspects of the story hold together.

Really, though, it’s just another report unless it’s followed up. As are they all.

And cliff works for me.

Hi Loren and thanks for the reminder. I am gonna have to Deal with the “Real Deal Guy” coming soon at an biannual Bigfoot hunt, where he rides the coattails of real researchers here in north Texas. Seems he schedules his searches the same week we do ours, twice a year, every year in the same general location.

He made mention once about “spraying the woods” with his son’s AK-47, disregarding who was in the woods.

It’s hard enough looking for the creatures without him.
