Both local and professional Bigfoot hunters said they detected what might be Bigfoot at Hans Mobius' Clarence farm over the weekend.
Tom Biscardi, chief executive officer of Searching For Bigfoot Inc., whose investigative team of seven arrived from California and Elmira on Friday, said his crew saw a 6- to 8-foot-tall humanoid creature Friday through thermal imaging.
Filmmaker Todd Bailey, who is making a documentary called "Bigfoot Lives" that follows Biscardi and his team on their hunts, was the first to see the creature on the infrared cameras.
"You could definitely tell the shape of something. There was definitely something in the woods that crouched down and then stood," Bailey said.
The team also was able to make contact with the creature for half an hour through recorded Bigfoot calls and "tree knocking," which is the preferred method of Bigfoot communication, Biscardi said.
"I've only experienced that two other times in my life, and I've been doing this for 34 years," Biscardi said of the returned sounds.
Their Friday night success motivated the team and three Clarence residents to return to Mobius' farm Saturday night for further investigations. Although they tried tree knocking, predatory calls and listening for the creature with a bionic ear, which Biscardi said can detect even the slightest whisper 300 yards away, the team saw and heard nothing for nearly five hours.
Biscardi blamed the lack of activity on migratory patterns. He said he thinks the creature or creatures had already headed north.
"I guarantee you this - something was there," he said. "I figure this thing had taken up temporary residence for two to three weeks. That's a normal pattern. They stay when they feel secure, serene, when they can find food for their family."
Bigfoot creatures travel in what he called breeding pools of three to eight.
"It's not just one or two of these things around the country. There's a minimum of 3,500," said Biscardi, who claims to have experienced five Bigfoot encounters.
Biscardi's team has not given up hope, however. They left Sunday for Portsmouth, Ohio, to investigate a similar sighting.
Well, at least it wasn't the obligatory Helen Thomas pic.
Same area produced a video of a Bigfoot. Some critcs say it looked like a man in a suit.
Who knows, my guess is the Hildabeast.
"I'm intrigued."
Those New York hunters have been drinking too much Tennessee whiskey. :-)
Global warming is driving these creature further north and harder to find. I'm hoping algore will follow.
Hillary in a mini skirt? The hairy bristles must have given her away.
Right. This time of year all the bigfoots bigfeet migrate to the Dr. Scholls factory in Indiana to get their new insoles.
I was surprised to hear a serious discussion of Big Foot on Michael Medved's show one day--he is a believer.
That was just someone foraging for the Moosewood Restaurant.
Is that sorta' like a "baker's dozen"...13 inches?
Somebody needs to tell Michael Moore to stop scaring the hunters.
Sounds like a ManBearPig. What's Algore's schedule look like lately?
Weird stuff ping.
Uh...a hunter?
