1918: A dark day for cryptozoology, as future Bigfoot hoaxer
Raymond L. Wallace is born in Clarksdale, Missouri. At his death, 84 years
later, relatives will try to cash in on his clumsy hoaxes, claiming that
Wallace "invented Bigfoot" and that "Bigfoot just died."
Most of the media, as usual, swallows the specious, profit-motivated claims
without a second thought or anything resembling fact checking, but plans to
film Wallace's life story die on the vine.
