From about 2004 to 2010 my friends and I faked a massive amount of bigfoot "evidence" across central Pennsylvania. There were about 5 or 6 of us normally, but sometimes more. We made fake hut/lean-tos, planted fake fur, we had fake feet made and a friend would ride piggy back on me to make em sink in deep, we'd go out at night and scream weird Moises, and way more. We spent a lot of time and effort on it over the years.

Ive run across folks who spent years of their lives tracking bigfoot based on our "evidence". I've told em straight up what was actually happening, but they've refused to believe.

If bigfoot were real my buddies and I would have run across him faking bigfoot evidence.

Out of all the internet tales I’ve heard and read, I think this story of wonder now takes the cake for one that I hope is true the most. I’m skeptical as fuck, but this will live rent free in my head.

Oh it's true.

Clearfield county doesn't have much to do outside of getting stoned in the woods. There's only so much getting stoned in the woods before even that gets boring.

Gotta spice it up some how.

I could easily see "faking evidence of Bigfoot" to be something that "getting stoned in the woods" would lead to.

We really went all out. A friend had a husky that shed big clumps of fur. We'd snag the fur on branches like 6 feet up.

I frequent a couple table top gaming stores. One night I was playing a game with a friend and two older guys I'd never meant before. One of the guys looks at his watch and goes "Oh no! I have to leave! I have really important things to do!".

We all just said cool, we'd just continue without him. He sat there a minute longer and was saying things like "Yup, IMPORTANT STUFF TO DO!!". Finally the friend who knew him asks what he had to do. He looked around all conspiratorial and says "Bigfoot" in an exaggerated whisper.

Now at this point he had my attention. I ask where and it turns out he was out looking for my friends and I. I tell him all about our exploits.

I saw a bit of light leave his eyes. It broke his damn crazy heart.

I like that you know how to weave a tale. This was well worth the read. I’m choosing to believe this is true haha

We had nothing else to do. Rural pa is certainly beautiful, but it's boring as fuck. It was a 45 minute drive to the nearest form of entertainment that wasn't drugs, booze, or lighting things on fire.
