Years ago, when I was young, I was in the West Valley Tavern, which is located a few miles West of Yakima, Washington. I met a guy named Roger Patterson. He and an accomplise were the ones that started the 'Bigfoot' hoax in this area. They even made a home movie of a supposed 'Bigfoot' moving across a small, meadow clearing.
Roger died of cancer shortly after the movie was made. But, just recently, his accomplise fessed up to the hoax and admitted that he was the person in the gorilla suit who ran across that clearing.
As a sidebar, Roger even took me outside the tavern and showed me plaster-of-paris impressions of footprints that 'Bigfoot' of all sizes had made.
If you want to believe in this, have fun. But, they don't exist, never have and never will.
I saw the guy you are talking about. I can’t remember the TV channel but the guy was talking about how he and someone else had perpetrated the hoax. Now Bigfoot is even living in Oklahoma. ;9) ~snicker~
