This Is The Bigfoot Hair That Was Recently Sold To A Museum For $225

By -

A Lufkin, Texas resident named Ty Shafer, just sold his Bigfoot hair to the Museum of the Weird in Austin for $225. The owner of the museum, Steve Busti won the bid at an auction house in Nacogdoches, Texas. This place sells stuff like vintage bedroom sets, antique dolls, and antique furniture. Shafer, the guy who sold it to Shafer, has no idea whether the hair is from a Bigfoot or a bear (but he's really hoping it's from a Bigfoot). Shafer originally bought it off some guy in Washington state for $15:

After hearing the story of how the Bigfoot hair was obtained, Shafer was a believer.

Apparently, the person who divvied up the hair into 100 lots was visiting a friend near Skookumchuck Lake in Washington state. The friend was checking some animal traps -- not Bigfoot traps -- and pointed out Bigfoot tracks and hair (now in 100 lots) near the traps.

"Actually, I have seen Bigfoot before," the friend told the hair collector. Is it possible he's telling the truth?

The new owner is aware that it could be something other than Bigfoot-- That's why he's going to get DNA testing done on the hair:

"I'm excited," Busti said by phone soon after Saturday night's auction. "I'm really looking forward to having the hair tested. If they come back with some unusual result, it could really change things. This could really be like the smoking gun, if you will, that will prove the existence of this animal."

Busti owns the Museum of the Weird in Austin, Texas, and plans to add the hair to an existing Bigfoot exhibit that includes alleged Bigfoot tracks in plaster casts. Obviously, he is hoping the Bigfoot hair turns out to be authentic.

The lock of hair came in a plastic holder attached to a placard (shown above) that said it was "Certified Genuine BIGFOOT Hair."

    Remember that movie faces of death where they beat the monkeys head in to eat its brains? I think they should make a movie of them doing that to a bigfoot.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.
