PA News: Bigfoot Body Revealed to Be Halloween Costume

So it really was a rubber suit after all.

Last week's excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body, which culminated Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé Sunday as an independent investigator determined it was all fake.

SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi had paid an "undisclosed sum" — Internet rumors put it at $50,000 — to Georgia residents Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer for their frozen "corpse" and the privilege of trotting them, but not the body, out in front of TV cameras.

At the same time, Biscardi sent self-described "Sasquatch detective" Steve Kulls to a secret location — apparently Muncie, Ind. — to check out the specimen.

Kulls, it's safe to say, was severely disappointed.

The upshot? Bigfoot, once found, is now again missing. So are Whitton, Dyer and Biscardi's money.

Well, did anyone actually think it was real?

I thought it was a hairy hobo.

I knew it.

^^ Haha, yeah. My thoughts exactly!

I honestly did not believe it was real, (though I wish it was) so it came as no suprise to me. Deep down inside I bloody knew it was a hoax, but T'Was a good one nonetheless.

Yeah, I believe that all the bigfoot sightings were just hairy hobos. {One of them could be my dad.
