Infant Bigfoot Skull? Old Fort, NC Habituation?, Tom Burnette's Book: Nature's Secret Agents Options

[bipedalist]

http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com/June-July_2008

Apparently, the alleged infant bigfoot skull found by an Old Fort, NC resident: Tom Burnette on his McDowell Co. 100 acre residence
was not available for Biscardi to examine because it had been sent off for DNA analysis? Biscardi called the DNA lab. according to his
expedition report and asked for digital photographs of the skull which they agree to provide, but did not at this writing. Apparently, this
gentleman (Burnette) has had encounters with multiple creatures and the infant was apparently abandoned in a field by it's mother.
Reasons hypothesized for this abandonment are speculated about by Burnette on the Biscardi website and in Burnette's book: Nature's Secret Agents which I can not find available through print outlets. Anyway, apparently the gentleman has no other bones other than the skull, whether he had access to the complete skeleton or not is not mentioned on the web report, I don't know about the book. Biscardi found no evidence of large animals other than bear and suspicious large footprints after four days. I'm posting this to let people know that as of today there is no verification of any such skull other than
the opinions of the parties involved.

This is a quote from Mr. Burnette I found on an internet blog about bigfoot theories and a posted reply by him. "My book is free, for the asking, just pay postage and handling...
Reply to PO BOX 585, Old Fort, N.C. 28762 or feel free to call 828 XXX-XXXX. Rights to my book are for sale and would make a hell of a movie....True story................ "

From his two posts it looks like he is interested in selling movie and book rights. From the sound of it, his interactions are in journal form now, but could be turned into a book?
Think I'll write off for the printed matter or better yet, make a home visit. He states that he has infrared pictures. Nothing mentioned about the skull on his comments there.

hey everyone this is definetly very interesting i would like to know how to get this new book about sasquatch. this kinda sounds like a possible sasquatch habituation case but i guess more research needs to be done. very interesting thread & above replys as well. good afternoon. bill please keep me informed.

[billgreen2005big...]

hey biped wow thanks for the above update. please keep us posted ok.

[Robert]

Yes, let us know what you find out.

A baby bf skull. How would you be able to tell if it's not an ape, or a human?

Fascinating.

[WmRoy]

He had a real live baby BF,
but he didn't keep it,
he let it die and only kept the skull,
which just happened to be out for 'testing',
the lab promised to e-mail photos of the skull
(but didn't)

What part of this was believable again................

I haive to agree with WmRoy on this one. Show me something other than an interesting story.

[bipedalist]

Just following up info. to the Biscardi visit, make your own judgments based on what comes out re: skull dna, pictures, etc., my only role was to present more information about this gentleman, his claims and his literature availability, I have no investment in his business or his claims. Sometimes things get slow around here, and I do some digging thats all. Good stories are better than dead threads, sometimes.

[eldonkey]

I third that... sounds like a good sci-fi channel mini-seriers. No pictures, no proof, nothing tangible, and it involves Biscardi.... nuff said!

[spudsquatch]

Oh aint that the truth. Good stories are better than nothing. It's interesting to see who jumps in first with the "I call BS".

Thanks bipedalist

[RedRatSnake]

OK, a little more digging and I see this guys on the May 28, 2008 Biscardi Bigfoot Show
http://billmarlette.podomatic.com/entry/eg...T11_16_07-07_00

Also, I see that Biscardi has now taken license to charge the $19.95 for the book with proceeds to go to searching for bigfoot at Menlo Park, CA, how much of that is shipping/handling is not disclosed as it is included in the price. How much of that goes to Tom Burnette is not disclosed.
http://www.gstreaming.com/BFLive-Frontpage.html (scroll down on right to white on black text box with cost/mailing address for book)

The spot on the show runs about 27 minutes (5 minute mark till about 32 min). Burnette inherits the property and a man had leased it for 20 years previous to him and apparently habituated bigfoot with deer carcasses etc., according to Burnette, when that fellow dies Burnette takes over doing some feeding after he has an encounter in the woods with several. He can not be sure on the radio show if the skull found with some cellular contents is from the abandoned infant or not.

He states the infant had a ten inch tail when he examined it. Looked like a baby chimpanzee. He has a very Georgia accent and that in fact is where he lived before taking on the property in NC, his uncle lives next door. He had one puppy go missing when a tree was pushed over into a dog pen, he never saw the puppy again.

Doesn't describe nighttime eye shine, just six inchs between eyes and eyes with no pupils just jet black. Thats about all I could glean.
The guy of course sounded earnest. Biscardi on the show states he will stay a month on his visit of course it only lasted four days. Why I'm not sure. Maybe another sighting called. Maybe nothing was happening. Burnette stated one other eye witness sat with him awaiting the creatures at feeding time one day, a friend of his, and that he (Burnette) got good photographs during that encounter.

First, how does he know this isn't a HUMAN skull!!!!

Now a 10" tail............... that changes everything............. I'm all in!!! (not really, just kidding....)

I wasn't aware that baby chimps had 10 inch tails...

[Crow Logic]

Bet its BS that goes nowhere.

[spudsquatch]

I'm calling BS too.

[bipedalist]

Forgot to mention on the blog that the guy states he is selling 700 other books too, what they are about I could only surmise? Maybe a publication list would give some
idea about agenda?

[The Cod Father]

I know that we all got caught up in the activities of August but it is now time to get back to the research we have left unattended.

Has there been any further developments or does it just go up in flames as another Biscardi waste of time.

Has anyone been able to vefify this story yet

[Country Hiker]

Hi,

This is my first post on the forum, my name is Chris and I live in Raleigh, NC.
I have been interested in sasquatch since I was a kid. This forum is a great place to browse and wander and wonder, thanks!


I was wondering if anyone had read this book and could give a review.
It interests me because my sister in law has a cabin and some land in Black Mountain, NC right next to Old Fort.
I have spent some time romping around out there, but have never sighted anything too interesting.

But, there are some deep woods out there.

Thanks !

Chris

Welcome to the forum Country Hiker!

Found this on the http://www.squidoo.com/bigfootsightings website. Seems he has passed the skull onto a major university for dna testing?

Bigfoot is real and can shapeshift.I beleive they are different spieces of the animals some supernatural, and the others flesh and blood…I have photos and a book for sale for publishing rights and a small skull of a baboon type creature which i held in western nc…It is curently undergoing dna testing at texas a and m university…It has been there for four months they are having trouble placing the strands of dna links to a suitable primate………… I am available for discussion at 828xxxxxxx, my anme is Tom Burnette

Comment by Tom Burnette — October 11, 2008 @ 11:17 am

Just an fyi update. I have yet to talk to Mr. Burnette. Could this perhaps become the next blockbuster Bigfoot story?

The part where he thought he could get paid for this nonsense.

There is a big difference between human and baby infant great apes (but none have tails that are visible, except on the skeleton, a small one is). Here are some pictures for comparison:

baby orang (note the teeth)

http://www.boneclones.com/BC-208.htm

baby chimp (also note the really small nose cavity and the large, round eye orbits:

http://www.boneclones.com/BC-207.htm

baby human skull (read the notes which detail how it differs from an adult skull):

http://www.boneclones.com/bc-187.htm

the "tail" is visible here (chimp)

My name is Tom Burnette and i live in western nc..I have in my possesion a skull of a baby sasquatch, which is undergoing dna testing as we speak,,Tom biscardi visited me before the ga. hoax and was after my skull...After severals days with biscardi, I realized he was not all he was cracked up to be..But i beleive I have proof positive dna evidence, that so far my dr, who is doing the work on my skull has not been able to match the dna with no known spieces...They are still working on the skull, so far its been three months...I held and found a baby rather large primate 24 inches with a 10 inch tail that had just been birthed around 2000, near my dog pans in my back yard, i took it back to the forest hoping its mom would find it...A couple of weeks later i found its remains and so far just sent them for testing, I wish Dr. Meldrum or some credible organization would contact me,Tom Burnette 828 XXX-XXXX..............

Found these on a newsweek webpage shortly after the Biscardi fiasco and hoax Re: Ga. Boys, as an aside an ABC Affiliate WLOS-TV 13 (Asheville, Spartanburg, Greenville) that broadcasts to upstate SC, western NC, some Eastern Tenn. and NE GA. coverage had a story on Tom Burnette tonight that stated he in fact has forwarded a baby bigfoot skull to Texas A*M or another school in Texas that has had the skull and is attempting to extract DNA from it. He continues to state that the baby had a "tail"?????

A picture of a very small skull was included next to a tape measure, there was some video of Burnette being interviewed on his property, he had several obligatory pics (in wooded context ??blobsquatches shown as well).

[Spazmo]

The tail could be the reason the baby was abandoned, if this story turns out to be true.

I have heard of this same mutation in humans, although I can't verify it.

[bipedalist]

Good thinking could have been a vestigial throw-back gene expression I guess.

[Sampson]

Mr. Burnette also states that according to his extensive observations of Bigfoot groups near his property that Bigfoot uses wild animals such as bear to hunt other animals.

I'm thinking that answers the question of why there are so few Bigfoot...the bear makes a fresh kill and then Bigfoot tries to take it away!

[bipedalist]

Tom even though it looks like the DNA came up "shooting blanks", keep your chin up. If you have ongoing activity, you may get another chance. Keep after it.

Bigfoot is real and can shapeshift.

Boy, I'd like to see that explained. No, really.

This is not my quote I stated there are two types of bigfoot one that is flesh and blood and another that is spirit. Many of the people here have put and wrote things in this forum that I did not say trying to make me out an idiot if I want to see an idiot I only need to look in the mirror same as many of yall.

Mr. Burnette also states that according to his extensive observations of Bigfoot groups near his property that Bigfoot uses wild animals such as bear to hunt other animals.

I'm thinking that answers the question of why there are so few Bigfoot...the bear makes a fresh kill and then Bigfoot tries to take it away!

I never stated bigfoot uses wild animals to hunt the newspaper reporter at mcdowell news said that I did not..You people try hard to make me an a@@ but thats ok the biggest mistake of my life was to come on this idiotic forum where yall drew pictures on my photos. The whole game here is debunk anyone who has anything at all.

I agree wholeheartedly with you...

Yea I just go around wasting ten twenty years of my life pissing away money chasing bigfoot you people are exactly right.
