On the Bigfoot trail ... again
By Bill Hankins - The Paris News - March 27, 2008
Tom Biscardi and his Bigfoot Hunters are back in Lamar County to search once more for the elusive creature, this time with more technology and a different tactic.
While the search goes on near Lamar Point just south of Pat Mayse Lake, a filming crew will attempt to record all the action as a pilot for a new television series entitled “Strange.”
Biscardi, who has tracked Bigfoot almost 35 years, is ever confident and hopeful this could be the time the two make a connection.
The bigfoot hunter is armed with infrared technology, a heightened sound system, a means to get the creature’s DNA and a score of bigfoot hunters to back him up.
“We are going to try a new tactic this time,” Biscardi said. “We are going to use a woman as bait to lure out the Alpha male.”
Residents of the Clay’s Bluff area near the lake are involved in the decoy plan.
Mr. and Mrs. Lance Bailey are part of the plan to lure out bigfoot.
Mrs. Bailey had a recent encounter with a “creature” while jogging near her home.
“She was frightened when she realized something was paralleling her run just in the edge of the trees,” Bailey said.
Biscardi set up his cameras and bigfoot team to follow the path as Mrs. Bailey jogged along the route.
They also lined the path with a scent they believe will bring out bigfoot.
This trip, Biscardi’s team brought along shotgun-propelled darts designed to stick into a creature and drop off after capturing its DNA. The brightly colored darts then can be sent to a lab to find out the ancestry of the creature.
First, however, they must see the creature.
One member of the Biscardi team was placed in a tree for an eight-hour vigil Wednesday night in hopes of spotting a creature close enough to get a shot.
The shotgun was silent Wednesday night.
All the while, Ron Lyon and his wife Jenny Paschall of Big Cat Productions and their photographers followed the action in a plan to put together the pilot film.
Lyon and his productions have included such television series as “Beyond Belief,” “Most Haunted in America,” and “Ripley’s Believe It or Not.”
He also has several movies and documentaries to his credit.
His wife, Jenny, is the writer and producer for the planned bigfoot hunter series.
Among the bigfoot hunters with Biscardi on this trip to the Paris area is J.C. Johnson, of the Crypto Four Corners Bigfoot Hunters team, and Leonard Dan, a Navajo Indian, who calls himself a “guide.”
Biscardi’s team unveiled three plaster casts of bigfoot footprints they say they found during the preliminary look at the area this time.
The hunters will be in the Clay’s Bluff area at least one more night, Biscardi said, before heading south to Schulenberg, Texas, and then to a bigfoot area in South Carolina.
