Bigfoot in Georgia?


Byline: The Register-Guard

Hmmm. Steve "Sasquatch Detective" Kulls knew there was something fishy Something Fishy is a novel by P. G. Wodehouse, first published in the United Kingdom on January 18 1957 by Herbert Jenkins, London and in the United States on January 28 1957 by Simon & Schuster, Inc., New York, under the title The Butler Did It.  about the Bigfoot corpse when it began to defrost de·frost

But there were still more forensic tests for Kulls and his team to complete before reaching a definitive conclusion about the hairy creature two hikers said they found last week frozen in a block of ice in the mountains of northern Georgia.

After the ice had thawed enough, Kulls plucked a few hairs from the body and burned them for analysis. "The sample melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair," Kulls noted in his report.

Hmmm. Kulls trained heat lamps on the ice encasing the body. Within a couple of hours, the ice near the creature's (big) feet broke.

"As the team and I began examining this area near the feet, I observed the foot, which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot," Kulls wrote.

Hmmm. A rubber foot. Wait a minute. That's not a real Bigfoot. It's just a smelly, old, rubber gorilla suit Gorilla Suits are full-bodied costumes loosely resembling gorillas or other large primates.

Confronted with Kulls' damning evidence, the two hikers who "discovered" the Bigfoot corpse "admitted (the body) was a costume," Kulls said. The Atlanta hikers - Clayton County Clayton County is the name of two counties in the United States:

In any event, their disappearance has put Searching for Bigfoot Inc., the California outfit that paid an undisclosed sum to Whitton and Dyer for rights to their story and their find, in a bit of a bind.

At the conference, Biscardi said he had flown to Georgia and actually had seen, touched and prodded the body and was satisfied it "was not a mask sewn on a bear hide." (This is the same Biscardi who in 2005 announced on a radio show that he had access to a captured Bigfoot and was arranging a pay-per-view event for people to see it.)

Shortly after the press conference, Searching for Bigfoot's Web site began offering visitors a chance to see photos of the find for $2 a pop. Caveat emptor [Latin, Let the buyer beware.] A warning that notifies a buyer that the goods he or she is buying are "as is," or subject to all defects.
