Cast Sale: Seekers Change Tune
Posted by: Loren Coleman on October 11th, 2006
The UK’s Telegraph is putting a new spin on the reason behind the selling of the Johor Bigfoot cast.
Reporter Sebastien Berger in Lukut writes in an article entitled “Explorer hopes plaster cast will raise funds to search for Bigfoot,” in part:
In the jungle of southern Malaysia, where legends of a giant man-ape echo along with the calls of forest wildlife, a plaster cast of a huge footprint is precious evidence.
Syed Abdullah Alattas, the founder of Paranormal Seekers Malaysia, found the footprint outside Lukut, in Johor.
But it is difficult to raise enough cash to help prove the existence of a creature unknown to science and Mr Abdullah has put his best asset up for sale. A private museum in America offered $50,000 (£27,000) for the cast, complete with five toes.
“We need equipment and material for our paranormal investigations and research but we have no funding nor aid from the government,” he said. “Therefore we are forced to put the cast up for sale.”
But do you remember why Seekers originally said they were selling the cast? Not for further Bigfoot research, but to study their “mummies.” Cryptomundo discussed that explanation here in “Bigfoot vs Mummy”
The open question remains, what American is set to pay $50,000 for this problematic cast?

Maybe the same individual who bought the baby Yarwen.

“Private museum”? Obviously those exist, but anybody can call a pile of junk in a spare room a “private museum”. I don’t believe they’ve sole this junk to ANYONE for $50,000, not for one second.
I’m neither an anatomist nor a primatologist by profession (or academic training), but this cast doesn’t look anatomically feasible to me. In fact, it looks downright anatomically IMPOSSIBLE.
Don’t let the fact that the Seekers girls are oh so very pretty fool you, they’re still part of the Chow/Ang hoax-o-rama!
Sky King, I agree on two things: No way anyone has paid $50.000 for this cast, that’s just a claim to heighten interest.
ALSO what kind of hominid would have feet like that!?
As I said before: “Malaysia…truly Asia!…”
I think for $50K you’d get one of the Seeker girls with the cast. So a rhino runs down the trail and skids to a stop. Gee nice footprint.
Wait! I think I know who is willing to buy it! Forecast for Malaysia: Heavy deluge of BS King and associates, w/ the “best BF cast EVER!”
Tom, you poor idiot. LOL
