Posting I made on Bigfoot Forums
I find this statement to be a bit on the disturbing side. And it does not JUST apply to Biscardi, it applies to all researchers-what business is it of anyone's if someone goes on expedition with controversial individuals such as Biscardi to begin with? And what exactly is "credibility" in this field? Most of the world who knows very little about Bigfoot other than what they see on TV thinks we're all missing a few marbles because we chase big hairy monsters out in the woods. We would not exactly be considered "credible" to most of the world, so who is to say within this community who is more credible than the other? John Green used to publish hoax Sasquatch stories in his newspaper back before he really looked into it, yet he is considered the Godfather of Sasquatchery; Jeff Meldrum bought into the Snow Walker and Playmate Videos when he first got into this line of inquiry until he realized that they were hoaxes; Green still considers Peter Byrne a fraud simply because Byrne was picked to lead Tom Slick's Pacific Northwest Expedition in the late-'50's-early-'60's, yet Byrne is highly regarded by a good majority of you. And I have news for you all-ALL of us have had a slip of the tongue, or believed a certain piece of evidence was credible till we checked into it more closely and found we were wrong, or have had romantic notions on certain things until we became more objective. What makes Biscardi any different? Many researchers have gone on expedition with him, including some members of these very forums, and they have had nice things to say about him and the team he works with. Would you shun those individuals that are on this board who have gone on expedition with him and say their credibility has been damned to Hell if I were to name those individuals concerned? I notice no one has shunned Billy Willard or Steve Kulls, who BOTH post on these very forums and HAVE gone on expedition with Biscardi and have not found ANY HOAXING OR WRONGDOING!!! So are these individuals all of a sudden NOT credible just because they dared to go on expedition with a man many of you consider to be the Devil Incarnate and came back with positive feedback? You can't have it both ways, folks. If you are going to shun Biscardi and perhaps now Steve and Billy for supporting or being nice to Biscardi, then maybe all of you should be shunned for supporting Green or Meldrum or Byrne simply because of the opinions of a few and because they have slipped up and shown a human side too. I am going to take Biscardi up on his offer (actually, it was Steve Kulls' offer) to go on an expedition in Enterprise, Alabama, in February to check things out for myself. If there is wrongdoing, I will not hesitate to report it; if there is a positive report, I will give that as well. As I said on the other thread, I will hide nothing or turn nothing. I will call it as I see it, good or bad. If that bothers some of you, well, I apologize. I believe in checking things out for myself before I make a verdict. Besides, I am in this to research Bigfoot, NOT personalities.

Article by Daniel Perez
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, DECEMBER 2007
FINALLY, SOME RESPECT FROM A WELL KNOWN PUBLICATION. A THANK YOU TO DR. JEFF MELDRUM FOR PASSING ALONG THIS INFORMATION. READ ON...
Insights: Bigfoot Anatomy; December 2007; Scientific American Magazine; by Marguerite Holloway; 2 Page(s)
One overcast Sunday morning in 1996, Jeffrey Meldrum and his brother drove to Walla Walla, Wash., to see if they could find Paul Freeman, a man renowned in Bigfoot circles as a source of footprint casts. Meldrum--who has followed Bigfoot lore since he was a boy--had heard that Freeman was a hoaxer, "so I was very dubious," he recalls. The brothers arrived unannounced, Meldrum says, and chatted with Freeman about his collection. Freeman said he had found tracks just that morning, but they were not good, not worth casting. The brothers wanted to see them regardless. "I thought we could use this to study the anatomy of a hoax," Meldrum says. Instead Meldrum's visit to a ridge in the Blue Mountains set him firmly on a quest he has been on since.
Meldrum, an associate professor of anatomy and anthropology at Idaho State University, is an expert on foot morphology and locomotion in monkeys, apes and hominids. He has studied the evolution of bipedalism and edited From Biped to Strider (Springer, 2004), a well-respected textbook. He brought his anatomical expertise to the site outside Walla Walla. The 14-inch-long prints Freeman showed him were interesting, Meldrum says, because some turned out at a 45-degree angle, suggesting that whatever made them had looked back over its shoulder. Some showed skin whorls, some were flat with distinct anatomical detail, others were of running feet-imprints of the front part of the foot only, of toes gripping the mud. Meldrum made casts and decided it would be hard to hoax the running footprints, "unless you had some device, some cable-loaded flexible toes."

Noted Gary in a postal letter (he does not have e-mail) to me, dated October 16, 2007: "I am working on a biography on Ivan T. Sanderson, and I am trying to obtain from private researchers an copies of correspondence hat they may have received from him, regardless of whatever subject it may have been. And, importantly, anyone who had actually met Sanderson when he was alive, as I am trying to get anyone who had met him to write down their experiences with him, even if it was just once in their lives." Mr. Mangiacopra is also looking for anyone who attended any of the now defunct International Society of Cryptozoology conferences, as Gary would like to get any audio or audio visual tapes and pictures from those conferences. His contact information is noted above. If you can help, get in touch with him. His latest is Does Champ Exist?

Residents have reported seeing a ''big orange ball of fur,'' said Karen Parker, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Wildlife officers can't confirm the furball is actually a large primate, though a Baker County animal control officer claimed she saw an orange-colored ape ''much larger than a spider monkey'' sitting in a tree. Some residents speculate it may only be a squirrel. Others think it may be a ``baby Bigfoot.''
