Big Foot Hoax

Mitch started his video camera and rushed the ridge line.  Topping the ridge, he started to pan the area in front of him with the video.  Moments a rock bounced down the creek which caused Mitch to change focus.  Nothing further happened.

Last week researchers from Oxford University and the Lausanne Museum of Zoology announced that they are seeking genetic materials (such as hair, skin, and blood samples) claimed to be of unknown animals such as Bigfoot. The goal of the Oxford-Lausanne Collateral Hominid Project is to catalogue and identify new species, including those long believed to be mythical. Despite the publicity that the new project is garnering, this is far from the...  

Researchers at Oxford University in England are taking on a big challenge with their latest DNA investigation: Bigfoot. Scientists at the university’s Wolfson College have begun a study that sets out to identify the types of animals and species that hikers and mountaineers around the...  

Bigfoot is the subject of a new found footage film coming our way called The Lost Coast Tapes.  We've previewed this one before here on Shock and, this morning, we can now report that XLrator Media has acquired the film for distribution here in the U.S. Corey Grant directed the film which concerns Sean Reynolds, an eager television host on a mission to debunk famed Bigfoot hunter Carl Drybeck, who claims to possess the body of a dead...  

European researchers are planning to use new techniques to analyze DNA that could help crack the mystery of whether Bigfoot exists. In a project announced this week, Oxford University and Lausanne Museum of Zoology scientists appealed to museums, scientists, and Yeti aficionados to share hair samples thought to be from the mythical ape-like creature.

Scientists from Oxford and the Lausanne Museum of Zoology, having solved all other animal-related problems, are asking for anyone in possession of suspected Bigfoot hair to send it in so its DNA can be analyzed. Many have already complied: Bryan Sykes of Oxford University said the group had already received many offers of samples to test, including blood, hair, and items supposedly chewed by Bigfoot.

If Antonio Silva were the type of man to listen to oddsmakers, he’d know the experts are giving him only a 25% chance of beating former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez. But Silva is the same man who was once given zero chance of ...  

LONDON (Reuters) - Scientists are turning to genetic testing to see if they can prove the existence of the elusive hairy humanoid known across the world as bigfoot, yeti and sasquatch. A joint project between Oxford University and Switzerland's Lausanne Museum of Zoology will examine organic remains that some say belong to the creature that has been spotted in remote areas for decades. "It's an area that any serious academic ventures into with...  

New genetic tests will be done on a few strands of hair ... "If the Yeti is real and somebody has found bits of their hair, you should be able to tell from the DNA in the hair if this is actually a Yeti," said Mark Thomas, a professor of evolutionary ...  

They will then publish their results in a peer-reviewed journal. Other experts agreed recent advances made in DNA testing could theoretically solve the Bigfoot question. “If the Yeti is real and somebody has found bits of their hair ...  

Bigfoot, are you listening? Never, ever go to Texas. You might be shot on sight. Thanks to a recent feral hog killing spree in Texas, people are starting to ask questions. Weird questions. Questions like, "If Bigfoot showed up, could we shoot him too?" But of course. This is Texas, after all. And Texas lets you kill non-protected nongame animals on private property.  

Researchers plan to focus on hair samples to determine the species it originated from. New genetic tests will be done on just a few strands, and completed within weeks. Even if the sample is judged to come from an unknown species, scientists should be able ...  

"There have been DNA tests done on alleged yetis and other such things but since then the testing techniques, particularly on hair, have improved a lot due to advances in forensic science," he told Reuters. Modern testing could get valid results ...
