ray wallace was an idiot. he only coined the term bigfoot. if you look into your history of the creature, it's been around for thousands of years. elkana walker, donner party, mountain men, antive americans, albert oatsman, even leaf erikson have had sightings of the creature way before wallace was born. he read about the legends and decided to play some pranks on his friends, it just got out of hand and he remained silent, hoping there would be money involed. like i said a blithering idiot.
