A newspaper in the Czech Republic proudly printed what I consider to be Bigfoot misinformation today.

“As we mentioned in an earlier column, Bob Heironimus is also world famous. He played ‘Bigfoot’ (or Yeti) in the historic Roger Patterson/Bob Gimlin Bigfoot hoax film of 1967 and for more than 31 years fooled many scientists. In fact, there are still some scientists like Dr. Jeffrey Meldrum who refuse to admit that this “dumb cowboy” managed to fool them.

Some people actually ‘believe’ that the creature known as ‘Bigfoot’ or Yeti really exists. While this is a distinct minority of individuals and even fewer scientists, ‘BFers’ as they are affectionately known, still defend the Patterson/Gimlin hoax film, despite Bob Heironimus’s thoroughly verified confession.”

I find it frustrating to read this. Though Heironimus may have a ‘thoroughly verified confession’ on record somewhere, this does not mean that his confession is valid.

I live right down the road (Highway 96, aka: The Bigfoot Scenic Byway) - not far from Bluff Creek. We’re still getting Bigfoot reports from time to time; some coming from extremely credible people residing in this community (Happy Camp) or visiting it.
