You’ve read that right, folks! We have gotten ourselves a hold of quite the crypto-important find here, a set certified genuine BIGFOOT hair samples all the way from Washington state!
We ran into a story posted over on one of of our favorite Bigfoot related websites, bigfootlunchclub.com, the other day that spoke of a man that had some hair samples in his possession. When we learned that they’d be up for auction this weekend, we knew immediately we had to have them!
Owner and operator of Museum of the Weird himself, Steve Busti, made sure that would most certainly be the case.
For when a possible answer to the mystery of Bigfoot comes calling, he has got to try and answer!
The folks over at GrindTV.com have written a few words about the auction:
The Nacogdoches Auction in Nacogdoches, Texas, sold a vintage bedroom set, antique dolls, a 1950s Schwinn bicycle, antique furniture and a lock of hair from … Bigfoot. Wait, what?! Hair from Bigfoot? Uh, yes, hair from Bigfoot, aka Sasquatch.
With a bid of $225, Steve Busti was the lucky winner for what actually appears to be hair from — something.
“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.
We appreciate the mention and you can read the rest of the story over at www.grindtv.com
Obviously, there’s always the chance of not actually being from a bigfoot but, that’s why we’ll be sending it in for DNA testing as soon as possible and you, our readers of the Weekly Weird News, will be the first to hear what the results are.
We couldn’t be more excited to be involved with the Bigfoot community and hope we can contribute our own research, findings, and now, quite possibly, actual evidence of the sasquatch himself, Bigfoot.
