>>2350390Anon you're forgetting the best part: the reason Bluff Creek was so hyped up by monke man believers was because of a hoax. The whole Patterson-Gimlin hoax is based on pranks by a blue-collar veteran.
>Jerry Crew was working for the Wallace Brothers Logging Company near Bluff Creek in the summer of 1958. One morning, Crew discovered large footprints near his bulldozer and reported the incident to foreman Wilbur “Shorty” Wallace, Ray’s brother and Mike’s uncle. Wilbur reportedly told Crew to get back to work but to stay alert for unusual activity. Mysterious footprints continued to appear throughout the summer wherever the Wallace Brothers were working. Eventually Crew was able to capture plaster casts of the large, dusty footprints and he showed this evidence to a local newspaper.>Mike Wallace has a different version of the story: “Dad went out and waited for Jerry (Crew) to shut down the cat and leave,” he said. “As soon as Jerry was gone, (Ray) started up the cat and went over and squeezed a barrel of oil and threw it over the bank.” Ray parked the cat in its original place, then got out and made the footprints around the cat using the wooden feet Mullins had sent him.>“When Jerry came back in the morning, he saw those tracks around the cat and just freaked out,” Mike said. “He went into Willow Creek to tell everyone and somebody called the newspaper in Eureka. The head reporter came out, took some photographs and wrote up a story.”Bigfoot believers are just the grownup version of believing Pokemon are real creatures because they won't stop making games for it.
