Bigfoot Hoax Goes in Halls of Hooey

  • Thread starter Ivan Seeking

In summary, a man from Yakima, Washington who previously claimed to have worn a Bigfoot costume in a famous film from 37 years ago has recently put the hoax to rest by wearing the costume once again. Some people are still skeptical, but the man has debunked the story by writing a book with other survivors of the episode. However, there are still some doubts as to whether or not the suit used in the film is the same one worn by the man. Some people are still waiting for concrete evidence, such as a Bigfoot corpse, to confirm the truth. It is worth noting that in the original film, the Bigfoot was portrayed as having large breasts, but this was later explained as a female Bigfoot. Overall,

The Yakima man who made history and legend 37 years ago by walking in Bigfoot's flat feet donned the costume again this week to put the hoax firmly in the halls of hooey. [continued]

Although this doesn't end the story of Bigfoot it may well end the story of the Patterson film. My only hold out is the recent book deal made with survivors of this episode - a debunking of the story. So now the debunkers have the problem of proving this is the same suit seen in the film. I expect that it is but my expectations have been wrong before.

No comment until someone fetches a bigfoot corpse. I mean, really, you would think one would die of old age and someones dog would drag a bone out of the woods...

If I remember correctly, the initial film showed Bigfoot with rather well-endowed mammary glands. Did Bob explain this part, I didn't see any details in the photos.

My inclination has always to believe that footage was a hoax, but is this just another one?

Oops, sorry, read the rest of the story. It was supposed to be a female.
