In these threads [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148369&highlight=bigfoot](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148369&highlight=bigfoot) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148560&highlight=bigfoot](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=148560&highlight=bigfoot) We Acolytes Of Cecil discuss the death of a prominent hoaxer who created the legend of Bigfoot for sh\*ts & giggles. I intimated that a belief in this nonsense would continue. And here’s [http://www.lorencoleman.com/is\_bigfoot\_dead.html](http://www.lorencoleman.com/is_bigfoot_dead.html) the proof. :smack: “Bigfoot Lives” in the mind of the loonies. Some people are quite pained by the notion that any story, no matter how silly, should be doubted in any way. :rolleyes: ---

I am living proof that bigfoot exists. 6’4", very hairy, and with size 16 feet! Fear me!😃 ---

BTW, the hoaxer, Mr. Wallace, said that _he_ was _not_ the one in the suit. I don’t recall now–and don’t feel like looking it up–whether he said he knew who was in it. However. . . This does give some credibility to Roger Patterson, who to his dying day said that the video was authentic; i.e, Patterson had not “set it up.” It looks as though he was just an innocent victim of the hoaxer, and might well have known nothing about the “set up.” ---

I think bigfoot sightings will continue. That’s not to say that Bigfoot is an actual being, I just think that hoaxer’s will continue to hoax, and that Gorilla’s will continue to be mistaken for Bigfoots. Bigfoots? Or Bigfeet? ---

Heh. The real irony here is that Loren Coleman came to these boards once to argue his view. Interesting reading here: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60958](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60958) ---

I heard Bigfoot was abducted by the aliens making the crop circles. No lie! ---

We never touched Bigfoot! But some of us are partial to the odd yeti… ---

Bigfoot dead? I think [not](http://zapatopi.net/bsa/militia.html) He has a homepage, he must still be alive 😃 ---
