Several men from an area where my mother owns a cabin and hubby and I lived for several years (near Helen, Georgia) claim to have found the body of a Big Foot. They also claim to have seen other 'like creatures' in the same area.
Do you think they've found Big Foot? Do you believe a Big Foot Creature exists? Wild man or half beast/ half man?
A huge bear or some creature tore up the underneath of my mother's cabin, which is on stilts, this past fall. She thought it was a large brown bear. Maybe she actually saw Big Foot. Think I can sell tickets?

This has all the earmarks of a hoax.

Agreed. Why could it not be some canny species of ape? I'd venture to say stranger things than this have been discovered around the world. Not too long ago stories of a giant squids were passed off as mariner's tales. Now we know differently, of course. Why NOT something like this? I think it's fascinating.

I was listening to Michael Medved's show the other day and he had on a cryptozoologist who specializes in Bigfoot. The expert was pretty ticked off about these guys holding the press conference and said that all legitimate researchers into sasquatch's possible existence are likewise upset at these "conmen".
It is a hoax. These men know nothing about sasquatch. They are merely attention-seekers.
There is some actual physical evidence - fur and scat that have been analyzed as belonging to no known animal, for instance.
I used to totally disregard Bigfoot, but, hey, they thought coelocanth was extinct - and it's alive today. People thought giant squid were a figment of sailors' imaginations - but they've caught some.

I think there should be a strict criteria before allowing these claims to become more than gossip magazine material. The all too common themes should throw immediate red flags (vague/blurry photos, the much anticipated press conference that reveals absolutely nothing, excuses like "I was afraid they might become an endangered species", etc.). For instance, this 'bigfoot' was stated to have been 7' tall with 5 fingers. But, (of course) instead of a detailed set of photos, we get the usual dangling carrot effect of an undetectable photo. One of the problems is that these types of stories are fodder for shows like Coast To Coast, and certain TV news programs which straddle between news and entertainment.
Often times the hoaxters will make use of verbal exaggeration to make up for lack of, or the ability to create evidence. A perfect case for this was the individual who claimed an alien killed his dog while hiking. He claimed to have killed the alien by bashing his head with a stick. He presented a recording of himself hyper-ventilating, and vomiting after running to his vehicle. So, supposedly, he conveniently had a tape-recorder which he was able to set up while he was hyper-ventilating while being in a form of shock. Of course.....a recording of someone hyper-ventilating is evidence of absolutely nothing. He claimed to have gone back to retrieve the body of the alien, and took some head shot photos meant to display the head wound. The photos were found to be hoaxes of course. He also claimed that he put the body in his freezer, and upon opening it at one point, found out that the alien was still alive, and it let out a scream. He decided to (again) use a tape-recorder to capture the scream. Not a cam-corder of course (we certainly wouldn't need to see it for proof, just hear it scream). When he opened the door, a horrible scream is coming from this freezing alien in the recording (or his next door neighbor with strong vocal cords). The over-verbal exaggeration of this came when he stated that the scream almost knocked him backwards (again, the-prove-nothing-dangling-carrot-effect).

Don't think they have found him. The picture that they are showing looks like an ape costume.
