Bigfoot was a hoax

In a story that I doubt is a surprise to anyone sane, the Times-Standard Online reported last month reported last month that not only was Bigfoot a hoax, but the Northern California newspaper was complicit in the hoax. Quoting: “We now know the whole thing was a hoax — or a brash attempt to claim credit for one. Late in 2002, Ray Wallace died at the age of 84 in Washington. But he didn’t take Bigfoot to the grave with him; he had spilled his guts to a few members of his family. The Times-Standard called June Beal, wife of deceased Times editor L.W. “Scoop” Beal, to find out if she knew anything about it. ”They were in on this hoax,” June Beal said of her husband and Wallace. “It was just a fun thing and the fun got out of hand.”
