A few years ago a guy admitted Bigfoot was a farce. He was the one the provided that photograph.

here:


The Bigfoot is supposed to be a large, bipedal, hominid-like creature which reports claim lives in the American Northwest, particularly in the densley wooded areas. Stories put it at between 7 and 10 feet tall with very large feet and large amounts of hair all over its body. There have been any number of reports of bigfoot tracks and even a film of an alleged Bigfoot, but there is no way to distinguish hoaxes from something which might be real.

One factor speaking against the reality of Bigfoot is that, in order to maintain a stable gene pool, there would have to be quite a few of them around - and because their home would be areas where humans do travel, it is strange that there isn't more evidence of them.

The second factor making their existence doubtful is the total lack of physical evidence. No one has found a single hair, bone, dropping, or other bit of matter which would point to such a creature. Once again, with so many of them wandering around, and with so many true believers on the hunt, some bit of evidence should have been discovered by now.

A primary origin of the modern Bigfoot phenomenon was the discovery in August, 1958, of large footprints in Humboldt County, California. The idea of a large creature living in the California and, eventually, upper midwest wilderness caught on as people came to believe that America had its very own Abominable Snowmen. Unfortunately for true believers, it has been revealed that these footprints were a deliberate hoax created by Ray L. Wallace. Experts had long believed that he was responsible for them, but when he died on November 26, 2002, he family revealed the truth for the first time.

Wallace may have also had a hand in the create of the most famous "evidence" for the existence of Bigfoot, the so-called Patterson film. In 1967 rodeo rider Roger Patterson captured grainy celluloid images of an erect ape-like creature walking away from his movie camera. Wallace's role? He told Patterson where to go in order to have the best chance of finding and filming a Bigfoot - near Bluff Creek, California. According to Wallace's son, Ray's wife Elna had admitted to being filmed in a Bigfoot suit at least once.

Wallace's role in providing information about the behavior of Bigfoot, often through his own films, were well known throughout the community of believers. However, he rarely received open credit - probably because acknowledging his role would have been embarrassing. The revelation from his family should be even more embarrassing, but it does not appear to have fazed true believers at all.

Not to sure, I had my own weird encounter once. Near my my house a friend and I were outside in the evening just practicing some trials when we saw some thing in the feild. We went over by the fence to take a look (this was a hay feild, with hay about 2 feet high) it was hunched over and hairy. So i decided to through some rocks at it. It made some ****ed up noise when I hit it. Anyways I was scared ****tless, I started to head towards my house when it started to crawl off. I got my mom she thought we had been trying drugs....anyways we ended up calling the police, they also asked if we had been smoking up. I got a huge knife and my friend and I went after it with my dog. It went towards our nabours house. We lost it there, and just than my nabour came home, to see me standing with a huge knife, in their head lights. Scared them, but I explained it all and she was glad I had come over, she said she had caught some guy sneeking around her house and peering in the windows at night.....so long story made short it turned into an urban legand all cause of me.. I think we foudn out it was a bum living in the woods in the end, who was very hairy....Also I read a book about bigfoot, writing by one of the most famous moutain climbers...good book anyone should read.

I heard a long time ago up here in the SC mountains these people would cut trees down, and this gorilla like creature(bigfoot) would rip the workers arms off and kill em. they said they found arms on the ground torn off with a deep big Hand print in em. kinda freaky.

that would not be true, sam. because bigfoot is thought to be a kind creature, and the only reason people barly see them is because the get scared of every thing. (the old guy at the museum told me that)

Everyone knows bigfoot exists. In the mid ninties he came out fo the woods, changed his last name from Foot to Mureson, and began playing basketball for the Washington Wizards. Sadly, his career ended with a back injury sustianed during the filming of the crappy Billy Crystal movie "My Giant", and he has since returned to the woods.

Please invest in a good spell-checker. I believe that word was supposed to be, "intriguing".

Yes, that is to say, their word is no good at all.

IMO, "bigfoot" is pure silliness. There are too many people looking for it for there not to have been some real evidence of it before this. A couple grainy photos and a grainy home video don't provide evidence. Supposedly, it's a huge creature. There would be evidence of its droppings, food eaten, etc.

How many scientists would love to discover a new species? You think any of them are going to pass it up if this creature really exists?

It's just another old wive's tale...

I've never heard of any bigfoot sightings in Santa Cruz...where is the museum? Sounds like a good rainy day thing to do...
