Do you recognize this man? - The past 36 years of watching others cash...er...have the furry Sasquatch hide pulled over their eyes has finally gotten to the man that played Bigfoot back in 1967.
Well at least he claims he was the man that played the furry creature in the stunningly amateurish video that everyone in the civilized world has seen.
Richard Leiby has the story on his Reliable Source column at The Washington Post:
Heironimus, 63, makes his full "confession," as he calls it, in a just-published book by paranormal investigator Greg Long, "The Making of Bigfoot." Long spent four years investigating the 60-second film clip and the people behind it. He traces the shaggy Bigfoot costume to a North Carolina gorilla suit specialist, Philip Morris, who says he sold it for $435 to an amateur documentary maker named Roger Patterson (who died in 1972). The hoax was staged near Bluff Creek in Northern California, according to Heironimus.
So now the world knows the truth and the Bigfoot myth can fade away. Uh huh. Right.
