Bigfoot DNA Tests Prove Hairy Creature Exists, Genetic Researcher Says

Bigfoot is real. At least that's what veterinarian Melba S. Ketchum claims after a five-year study of more than 100 DNA samples that she believes comes from the elusive hairy beast.

Under Ketchum's direction at DNA Diagnostics in Nacogdoches, Texas, a team of researchers has concluded that the creature may be a human relative that somehow developed around 15,000 years ago as a result of a hybrid cross between Homo sapiens with an unknown primate.

Ketchum's research has yet to stand the scrutiny of independent researchers. While many people have claimed to have seen the creature, its existence has never been confirmed, despite a plethora of photos and footprints. The ongoing search is the subject of Animal Planet's "Finding Bigfoot" television series.

"Well, it came to me, I didn't go after it, that's for sure," Ketchum said of the evidence of Bigfoot's existence in an exclusive interview with The Huffington Post. "I did not believe in these creatures. But my lab did a lot of animal testing, and we did species identification. We didn't have any hits on anything interesting until five years ago."

Ketchum's professional work includes nearly 30 years in genetics research and forensics. After her team attempted DNA sequencing of hair samples from an alleged Bigfoot encounter, they found some unusual things in the hair. But there wasn't enough DNA to conclusively verify what they were seeing.

DNA Diagnostics received more samples to investigate -- including hair, blood, saliva and urine, all reportedly from various Bigfoot sightings.

I have to admit I watch the show Finding Bigfoot. I get a kick out of them making statements about how Sasquatches do this or that and what we "know" about them. Cracks me up.

My criticism about the existence of "Bigfoot" is: N. America is covered with game camera's, where's the photo-proof?? The best bowhunters in the world go way back in the wilderness of the Lower 48, where's their Bigfoot trophy, or footprint pics, or sightings??? Carcasses or bones, where are they???

I'm not about to buy into a myth without conclusive proof.

Can any government "scientific" expeditions do a better job exploring the woods than the American Hunter?? Since the first white men hit the shores of America not one hunter/farmer has ever bagged one, and that's many generations of hunting, along with a Civil War that had men crashing through the countryside and a Depression that had desperate men shooting anything they could eat. That's enough proof for me that they don't exist.

Occam's Razor says that until substantial empirical evidence surfaces, they don't exist. A DNA test without any other physical evidence just doesn't cut it for me. IOW, "Bring Me The Head Of Bigfoot!!"

After having seen one I became a believer.

The problem with "finding" Bigfoot is that they appear to be nocturnal and so are simply not out there to be seen during the day. Most of the reports and sightings have come from twilight, early morning, and at night. The one I saw was at night when I was 12 and I did not get a good look at it. Just enough to know that it looked like a man shape but was way too big, and too quiet, to be a man. Spooked the shit out of me.

Also there does not appear to be a lot of them and they seem to favor very remote areas well away from humans although there have been a few exceptions.

The show Ancient Aliens did an episode on Bigfoot. They were speculating that they are either an alien created hybrid or aliens themselves. They also suggested they might be inter dimensional beings.

Nope, not buying that, either. Those alleged critters would have to survive year-round in the American wilderness, decades on end, without any hunters bringing forth reliable evidence of their existence. Where are the carcasses?? Where are the Injun skins of bigfoot?? Where is any proof that they exist?? It'll take a room-temperature body on a cold slab to convince me that they exist.

It's 2012: the world's best hunters are right here in America and they haven't brought back anything from their numerous hunting expeditions all over the N. American continent to document the existence of an overgrown ape with furry hobbit-feet.

I share your skepticism.

Most carefully examining the evidence and assumptions that lie behind a proposition is a very healthy habit of mind. Sharp-eyed skepticism is especially warranted in the world we live in where all kinds of claptrap is routinely thrown at us like we were all a tribe of credulous kids.

Before this thread bites the dust though, I'd like to toss in this video and recommend it to you in partial answer to your questions. It suggests there's more to the history of this continent than we've been taught to believe and it adds more evidence to a growing pile of research that challenges our assumptions about the bipedals that have walked this earth.

There's a bit of a global warming rant at the end that I found kind of annoying, but that's neither here nor there with respect to the evidence Jim Vieira presents in this short video.

Anyway, ff to 8:30 if you like and see what Vieira has to say about North American "giants."

Oddly enough, I find it easier to believe in the possible existence of "giants" roaming around the N. American continent in the past than I do the existence of furry-bipedal-whatevers today. I believe Original_Intent posted some previous articles that detailed western Indians with an oral history of fighting them and possible obfuscation of their existence by mainstream scientists.

Undiscovered critters at the bottom of the sea? Sure, it's still happening. But not on the continent today, there's just too much human activity for them to hide. Even assuming that they existed, bears and mountain lions would have dug up their bodies and something of their existence would have already been discovered, much as the existence of mountain lions leaves behind scientific clues with sightings being rare (except for mountain lion hunters)((P.S., why haven't packs of hunting dogs out West ever cornered one??)) I would have to assume that such a creature is fully capable of being injured running around the woods on occasion, nobody has ever found one lying in the shade saying "Hey, man, I busted my leg, can you spare a cigarrette and call an air- evac for me??" :)

I have no problem with either and there is evidence which tends to suggest that both may be true.
