More Bigfoot Fakery?
First there was the Ray Wallace hoax, where Wallace left information, to be released after his death, that he faked a set of famous Bigfoot prints. Now Bob Heironimus says he played the role of Bigfoot in the notorious film made by the late Roger Patterson. Heironimus says, “It’s time people knew it was a hoax.”
Richard Leiby writes in the Washington Post that Heironimus says he wore a gorilla suit in the film, which Patterson made in 1967 in Northern California. This film has been analyzed for years. Author Greg Long says the gorilla suit was made by Philip Morris, who sold it to Patterson for $435.
Long says, “Patterson was the cameraman. They made a gentleman’s agreement that Bob would get in the suit and walk in front of the camera for $1,000.”
