If you haven’t heard already, the Bigfoot claim from last week is debunked – the supposed Sasquatch in the freezer box is just a costume, according to admissions from its alleged finders, Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton.

The only positive thing that has come from it is that it has gotten people very interested again in Bigfoot. But this singular event does not necessarily represent the entire issue at hand – the question of the existence of Bigfoot does not pivot on whether the costume or corpse in the freezer turned out to be genuine. So that turns the conversation to legitimate efforts of mine and others to try and find out if there’s anything actually to the Bigfoot [myths].
