Update: New York Bigfoot Photos

Ben Radford supplied the following photos from his onsite investigation of the Hans Mobius Bigfoot photos. The text is Ben’s from the email that he sent.

These two photos were taken at the Mobius farm Bigfoot site about a week after the sighting and photos were taken. During investigations, my colleague Joe Nickell and I found the area at (or very near) where the Bigfoot can be seen in the original photos. With the tall grass and the tractor in the way, it is difficult to see in photographs, but there is a two or three-foot mound or berm just behind where Mobius’s John Deere was parked as seen in his Bigfoot photos. It is clear to me that whether the subject in the photo is a Bigfoot or just a guy in a suit, he was standing atop this mound and therefore looks deceptively larger and taller compared to the John Deere and the ground around him. It is also clear to me that the subject in the later comparison photos (shown below), Tim McMillen, was not standing on this berm. Whether this was done out of deception or oversight, I can’t say.

You can see me in the photos for comparison. (Mobius was not available with his tractor when we took the photos.) I am six feet tall, with an extra two inches or so accounting for my hat. In my estimation, the Bigfoot (or guy in a suit) was well under seven feet tall, probably six feet or shorter.

The photo below is the comparison photo taken by Biscardi’s org when they were onsite.
