Ga. Men Claim to Have Found Bigfoot

Body, photos, DNA among 'proof' to be presented tomorrow

Share

(Newser) – Two Georgia men claim to have found a Bigfoot, and say they'll release evidence tomorrow at a press conference, LiveScience reports. Whether they'll display the alleged carcass or simply photographs is unknown, but a well-known Bigfoot hoaxer speaking on their behalf said the body will be studied in a secure, undisclosed location—raising doubts about its authenticity.

The men reportedly have DNA evidence of the creature captured in Georgia's northern woods, but LiveScience notes no specimen exists for comparison. Despite doubts, one Bigfoot researcher writing on Cryptomundo.com said, "I feel, in all honesty, this, indeed, may be the real deal, and I say this carefully after reviewing information that has been shared privately with me."
