Bigfoot DNA Tests Prove Hairy Creature Exists, Genetic Researcher Says

Lee Speigel

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.

More prosaically the descriptions of Bigfoot that come out over and over again appear to resemble Gigantopithecus or some other similar type of "Man-Ape". This of course upsets the Fundamentalist Darwinists as it throws off their timelines and pet theories and the Gospel of His Magnificence St. Darwin. So, of course anything which might provide a contrary datum, such as the parallel existence of a creature presumed to be a human progenitor, is heresy and must be declaimed and punished (preferably by burning at the stake).

I have no such inhibitions, I merely see a total lack of documentable physical evidence as the strongest evidence against their existence. Example - people were gathering bison skulls and bones off the prairies where they roamed years after they were nearly exterminated. I contend that *something* would have turned up by now, whether via Injuns or White Man being in the outdoors.

For me it comes down to the first hand reports (as well as my own sighting). In the case of the Bison Skulls there were literally hundreds of thousands of Bison that were exterminated to deprive the Plains Tribes of their primary food supply and so I am not surprised that some hung around for a while as there were so many. In the case of a carcass in the woods a better example would be Moose, Elk, or even Bears. You just do not run across their carcasses except in the rare circumstance where is very fresh, and again that is extremely rare. A carcass in the woods is generally unrecognizable as such in as little as a week and completely gone in under a month.

In the case of Bigfoot the numbers appear to be very small isolated populations and so the likelihood of finding a carcass is vanishingly small - particularly if they practice burial. Additionally the woods is their home, they appear to be of near human intelligence , and they appear to know how to move quietly in the woods. (I know woodsmen who if they do not want to be seen you will not see them.) They are also likely nocturnal and so are active when we are not. However, over the years there has developed a fair body of first hand reports from reliable witnesses. So, I do not rule out their existence. I agree that the data is not iron clad conclusive, but I do think it good enough to accept the existence of Bigfoot as a valid hypothesis.
