A CAMPER believes he's unlocked the secret behind one of the world's most famous cryptids after finding a so-called Bigfoot corpse.

Charles “Snake” Stuart, also known as the Bigfoot hunter, presented his stunning findings in a bizarre exhibition on Wednesday.

He brought the massive 8-foot-tall hairy body to the New York State Fair in Syracuse and displayed it behind a glass case.

The grisly figure was placed on top of a wooden coffin in a dark room with spooky growls playing on speakers.

Beside the alleged body is a video of Star Trek actor William Shatner reading a script written by Stuart, which explains that Bigfoot is real.

The hunter said that he paid the star to read his story to every visitor who stops by to see the so-called evidence.

Snake claims he discovered the corpse, whom he calls Dack, while he was camping in the lake town Old Forge, New York, which is about two hours west of Albany.

He says he found him after he played audio of howls in the woods and heard howls back, Syracuse.com reported.

When he walked toward the noise, Snake said that he noticed a foul smell, and then allegedly stumbled upon the corpse.

“He was dead when I found him,” Stuart told Syracuse.com.

“He was decomposing. We had to rip some of its guts out and try to salvage it, taxidermy style.”

Stuart says he then took Bigfoot’s body to a garage in Saranac, New York, which is a village near the Adirondack Mountains.

A friend came over and taxidermied the body, and Dack has been in his possession ever since, the hunter claimed.

DNA CLAIMS

Stuart's goal is to raise enough money to have the body scientifically authenticated as a Neanderthal-human hybrid.

He says that a DNA lab at Cornell University dismissed him, but claims that he went on to work with their veterinarian lab.

He claimed that those alleged lab results show that Dack's DNA is mainly Neanderthal, but didn't provide any proof to back his story.

Stuart is thinking of releasing this information before the fair ends.

The Bigfoot hunter said that he'd had a great experience showing off his exhibition and sharing his tales.

“Everyone here has been loving the big boy, really enjoying hearing the story,” Stuart told the local outlet.

“We’re thrilled about it, honestly.”

Stuart's exhibition will be showcased in the horticulture building from August 20, 2025, to September 1, 2025.

This is just the latest in a string of alleged Bigfoot sightings.

What is Bigfoot?

Here's what you need to know...

Bigfoot, or the Sasquatch, is believed by some to be a hairy bipedal ‘ape-like’ creature

They are said to live in the wilderness of North America, appearing in the distance or leaving footprints

Bigfoot ‘hotspots’ are generally found in the Pacific Northwest, particularly the states of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia

Some believe that Bigfoot is a missing link between humans and other great apes

Mainstream scientists tend to believe that Bigfoot is little more than folklore

Most theories around Bigfoot suggest that they are sightings of other large animals, rather than a new ape species

Descriptions of Bigfoot suggest the animal is between 6 foot and 9 foot tall

Bigfoot is generally described as being covered in dark hair, and as leaving behind huge footprints up to 24 inches in length

I got a decent way into the article, but I stopped reading right there.

I guarantee there are plenty of labs and universities that would be glad to help out.

Claiming “oh noez, I just don’t have the money for a DNA test” tripped my BS meter.

What are you really afraid of?

It must be true. Oklahoma has a Big Foot hunting season. How could it not be true if the Oklahoma State Legislature voted it into law? I mean honestly, isn’t this like the final word on the matter?

/s for those in Rio Linda.

He found Uncle Herschel after Cracker Barrel fired him and left him with nothing but to wander in the woods in search of a rocking chair.

That is Aunt Bunny.

I remember someone doing this in Georgia maybe 15 years ago and ending up in jail.

IOW, it's a faked model, and he has no real evidence. His claims about the DNA are a joke.

A similar fake made the rounds of county fairs (and kooky mags like my favorite, "Argosy") and such back in the 1960

The late Grover Krantz wrote ("Big Footprints") that the only way for the existence of Bigfoot to be accepted would be via the taking of a type specimen, and as the body would likely be too large and heavy to extract it from the wild, the critical parts to recover would be the head, a hand, and a foot.

, He was no "camper". He has been shilling his hunt for bigfoot for years.

I have a devout Christian friend who does not lie, who claims to have seen a Bigfoot in the woods of northeast Oklahoma.

Is it anything like the one making the carnival rounds 60 years ago? Frozen in ice, it was supposed to have been revealed decades ago but it suddenly disappeared.
The Minnesota Ice Man from the 1960s.

Believe me, I have met 3 people, from different parts of the US, who told me their individual story of a “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch” encounter that made my skin crawl.

They definitely believed what they were saying.

It’s a zibit. I have several from the late great Doug Higley from when I used to run a single-o. I used to run with a chup pup that was peeled off the front bumper of a dodge pu out there in Bandera County Tx back in 2005.. cattle country of course

[abigkahuna]

Don’t knock the man— he is just the latest of the long line of curators, professors, and just plain showmen that have entertained audiences through out Americas history. It’s all good stuff. If he is a good inside talker it’s a bonus—I was told I was always a good inside talker.

This is the guy who says he found BF, yup.

I remember seeing the Minnesota Iceman at a carnival in Portland, around 1968.
