Catskill, New York 08

See Tom Biscardi's interview on FOX News about the Catskill Expedition!
After a couple of weeks off, see May 2008 , the SFBI team is back on the road! We started this current multi-state expedition in Catskill, New York. Tom Biscardi received a phone call from a Patricia Williams in New York. Patricia was very upset and frightened about seeing a creature in her backyard! She explained that this creature was coming into her yard and stealing her pet pig's food from the pen. Patricia's mother, Carrol Medici, thought it might be better to try and befriend this creature, so the two ladies began putting food out for it near the pig's pen. The creature, has been coming back every night now for several weeks.

Tom was intrigued and called upon some of our associates on the East Coast. He contacted our good friends the "Squatch_Detective" Steve Kulls and our long time friend and associate, Becky Sawyer. Tom asked them to drive out and do some preliminary investigation for us, before committing the SFBI team to a three thousand mile expedition.

Steve picked up Becky and they drove out to Patricia's Catskill home within two hours of Tom's phone call! After meeting with Patricia and her family, Steve exercised his extensive interviewing skills, while Becky did a primary search of the area. After several hours, they called Tom back with the news! Both Steve and Becky felt that the Patricia and her family had been having some unusual experiences that were quite possibly the result of a visit from a creature.

Steve shared that his interviews indicated that it was very probable that all of the family had been telling the truth as they believed it. Becky went even further and shared that she found what may have been a foot print and a possible bedding area in the near by woods! As the Steve and Becky researched more fully, they both said they had even heard heavy foot falls in the woods from, what they believed to be, a large bipedal animal! They also both shared with Tom that they actually saw a large shadow running between some large trees in the area!!

This confirmation from our trusted colleagues was enough to warrant the deployment of the SFBI rapid response capture team. Tom assembled the team and we were on the road before the week was out! The crew for this expedition was TJ Biscardi, Brian Mazzola, JC Johnson, Leonard Dan, and myself; Java-Bob. Tom Biscardi Sr. who was tied up with some corporate business, was unable come along with us, but would be meeting us out there within 8 hours of our arrival.

Once on site, we spent a couple of hours getting to know our hosts and general area we would be investigating. We began with a general overview of the area.

The road that Patricia lives on and the beginning of the woods behind her house

Although the area was very rural and heavily wooded, it appeared to be reasonably well populated, with homes dispersed through out. At first glance, it seemed to be an unlikely place to have a creature come back to visit, almost nightly! I could see a migratory animal passing through once in a great while, but not hanging around. We made the decision to walk the perimeter of the approximate four acer lot and see what we could find. Within just a few minutes of hiking, we found our explanation.

As our previous research has taught us, these creatures tend to travel and migrate through low lands and river bottoms. Staying in the bottom areas, where the cover is densest, and traveling only at night, they can remain hidden from view and are free to travel through lightly populated areas with little fear of ever being seen!

Sure enough, we found that there was a small creek on the back of the property that lead to a larger creek bottom that dropped into the Hudson River drainage. All through very dense under growth and without having to cross any roads or open areas! A perfect "hidden highway system"!

The story was that the creature would come up through the back of the property, (from the creek areas), and then remain in the trees for a while before coming to the back of the pig pen. There, it would come over to the side of the pen and reach inside to grab food. Mostly the bread and rolls that the Patricia's family would drop in as a treat for "Charlotte", their pet pig.

Everything was falling into place. The team had met all of the people involved and it was clear to all of us that they believed everything they shared with us... They told us that they had all seen this creature, even a baby creature along with it. Patricia, her seven year old daughter Alexa, and even "Grandma" Carrol had all see these creatures! It was time for the hard work to begin!

It was time for the team to attempt to find the evidence that might verify this story. We began by setting up trip cameras through out the woods, in areas that we suspect would be where the creature might travel to get to the food. We also set up infa-red recording cameras that would allow us to remotely monitor and record any activity throughout the long night ahead of us. We checked out all of our night vision equipment and deployed the team in strategic areas to monitor the entire area of operations.

The team placed cameras in stratigic places through out the area. They put up the IR equipment in areas that monitored the yard as well as in specific areas such as the pig pen and feeding areas. Now we waited for Tom Biscardi Sr. to arrive. Steve Kulls and Becky Sawyer were picking Tom up at the airport in Albany, New York and bringing him directly to the investigation site.

Note the IR camera on the roof... Here is a spot out front where the creatures were seen... Trip cameras in the woods...

Patricia had told us that she heard the creature moving around in the woods behind the house, so she threw a rock towards the sounds... In just a moment, the rock came flying back! Then she picked up her son's football and threw it towards the sounds as well... Once again, the football came flying back too! Patricia explained that she doesn't fear the creature, but is simply fascinated by her experiences with it. She tells us that even her daughter has seen it. Her daughter, Alexa is only seven years old and has seen the creature while looking out of her bedroom window. Alexa is not as comfortable about the creature being in her back yard. Alexa tells me that "...it scares me because it is so big!".

We monitored the situation throughout the night and did not see or hear anything unusual. We did film a very large raccoon removing food from the pig's pen and several cats taking food from the areas where food had been set out for the creatures, but no signs of the creature. We do find that the area may be suitable for a creature and that the eye witness accounts are credible, but we could not verify anything at this time. It is conceivable that our presence was enough to keep the creatures away for the evening. Our associates in the area will continue to monitor the situation and we will stay in touch with Patricia and her family. Hopefully, we will be able to get some tangible evidence from this site in the very near future! In the mean time, we are moving out to an area in North Carolina where a man tells us he can guarantee that we will see a creature! We will keep you all informed of what we find, and we will continue to monitor this site in New York.
