New York Bigfoot Sighting?

The Buffalo News reports today that Biscardi’s team had a sighting of 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.

The shape of something…that’s sounds definitive.

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.

Sounds like the "groupies went back out with the team Saturday night.

Biscardi’s team has not given up hope, however. They left Sunday for Portsmouth, Ohio, to investigate a similar sighting.

Look out Ohio!

I emailed Ben Radford to ask if he had gone out to Mobius’ farm over the weekend. He said that he had. I asked if he had met up with Biscardi and he said that he had not, but his associate Joe Nickell had met with Biscardi. Maybe Ben will shed some light here on that meeting.
