Is the famous Bigfoot photo genuine or a hoax? Is
it a part-ape /
part-human creature?
Is Bigfoot a big fat fake?
This is a famous picture of Bigfoot. It is a frame from a movie film. Rancher Roger Patterson took the film near Eureka, California, in 1967. The picture is genuine, but Bigfoot was a hoax.
Bigfoot is dead!
Bigfoot is dead. At least the creator of the Bigfoot legend is dead.
When Ray Wallace died in November 2002 at the age of 84, his family admitted he had been behind the 44-year-old hoax that led many to believe in a part-ape and part-human evolutionary misfit called Bigfoot.
The Bigfoot legend began in 1958. A bulldozer driver who worked for Wallace's construction company in Humboldt County, California, reported huge footprints on the ground around his bulldozer. The local newspaper named the creature Bigfoot.
After Ray Wallace died, his son Michael admitted that his father and a friend created those footprints using carved wooden feet. Ray Wallace issued a recording of Bigfoot sounds, and films and photos allegedly showing Bigfoot. The most famous Bigfoot film is the one that Roger Patterson shot in 1967, and our picture above is a frame from that film.
Michael Wallace said Patterson photographed his mother in a Bigfoot suit, and that his father used several people in his movies. When Roger Patterson wanted to film Bigfoot, Ray Wallace told him to go to Bluff Creek, California. Surprise, surprise! Bigfoot turned up there that day and Patterson got his now-famous film.
This story is of interest to creationists because some people say Bigfoot is evidence of human–ape evolution. It never was evidence of that, but this hoax admission from Wallace's family should put that claim to rest. (Although, based on the emails we receive, some people now believe the hoax admission itself is a hoax. It's not!)
