8.30.5
Tom Biscardi has been on coast to coast off and on
for a while now. You would think that would be a
opportunity for someone like him that he wouldn’t want
to blow, but nonetheless I am almost positive he
has.
The great Bigfoot hunt started off innocently enough.
It was a great idea and the updates were fun. Then
after a couple weeks, on the evening of 8/19/05 to be
exact, Biscardi comes on to report he has a captured
Bigfoot. There were several red flags for me during
this report. The first one was that he didn’t start
out talking about the captured Bigfoot, instead he
started out the conversation saying how excited he was
that one of the volunteers had found a large
footprint. Then he tells us that he has more exciting
news than that, he has a captured Bigfoot. If you
already had a captured Bigfoot would you really be
that excited about a footprint?
Many of his answers
during this interview are extremely vague and strange.
One of the strange answers was to George asking if
the creature communicates and Biscardi said “yes.”
George asked how and Biscardi said “by pushing the
plate of food away.” While I guess that can be
considered a form of communication, my dog and cats
communicate far better than that. But, the biggest
red flag to me was Biscardi claiming he had not yet
seen the captured Bigfoot after a full week of having
it. If there was a captured Bigfoot within 300 miles
of here that I could go see up close I would be on the
road within hours. To imagine a Bigfoot researcher
having a captured Bigfoot for a week and not going
wherever it was to take a look at it, is simply
unimaginable. Also, Biscardi made sure to mention
that if you paid the $60 that night to be able to
watch on the internet you would save yourself money
because they price would be going up once they start
showing the Bigfoot. Yes, the Bigfoot they had
captured a week before and that Biscardi had not
bothered to go see or ask to see a picture of.
I am sure most have heard the details of his long
excuse by now. The woman in Nevada that he just
blindly believed because she was a friend of a friend.
The doctors fighting over and kidnapping Bigfoot, a
whole wild web of tales. All this I am sure was a
total delight for Loren Coleman to listen to,
especially the tongue lashings Biscardi received from
listeners which actually left him speechless a couple
times.
People can argue if they want, but to me this entire
story of the captured Bigfoot was a hoax by Biscardi.
I really don’t think there is anyone who can convince
me that Biscardi really thought he had a captured
Bigfoot and that he was the one who had been hoaxed.
If the story he is giving about being scammed is true
then he really needs to get out of the business
because he is truly one of the dumbest people on
earth. Nobody in their right mind would just believe
that story without seeing any proof and then go on
National (worldwide on the internet) radio and tell
it.
The question I have is why would someone do that?
Sure maybe for the money, I don’t know how many people
were really willing to pay $60, but maybe it was lot.
Still in the long run it was a losing proposition to
do something so stupid. With no Bigfoot being
captured he could have mounted expedition several
times a year which George would hype on c2c and he
could charge for internet viewing of. He could also
put together books and videos about the expeditions to
pimp on c2c. Now, he will just be kicked to the curb
and it will be the end of his gravy train.
No, I am not angry at Biscardi, it made for
entertaining radio while it went on. I am merely
pointing out that he screwed himself more than he
screwed the people who paid $60 for the live webcam
thingie.
Sure c2c has had it’s hoaxers in the past such as the
ones who put together the phony pix of comet Hale
Bopp, but where are those people now? I don’t even
remember most of their names. Lying to a c2c host
can really ruin your career, being that it is probably
the biggest outlet for people who research the
paranormal. I kind of wonder what is going to happen
to those that promised us that Brazilian disclosure
that never happened. You can be wrong all the time if
you are Ed Dames, SDM and a few others, but I don’t
think Biscardi is among those allowed to be that
wrong. I seriously doubt George will have him back
on. First, I think George feels he was blatantly lied
to, then Biscardi tried to blame it on the c2c
audience, which really pissed George off. George was
as tough as I have ever heard him and I was wondering
if Biscardi had been in the room if George might have
punched him. George first told Biscardi that he
wouldn’t be allowed back on c2c if he didn’t refund
money. Now that Biscardi is supposedly refunding
money George says he sees no reason to ever have him
back on. I think what George was saying is that
unless Biscardi somehow manages to really catch a
Bigfoot, he is banned.
Biscardi will probably have a few true believers for
a while, but even they will eventually see the light
and move on.
So long Biscardi, it was fun while it lasted.
