Footage of a Bigfoot seen from a train in Colorado seemed, to me, fairly legit. I posted about that in the post below. But now it turns out that, supposedly, it wasn't a true Bigfoot at all but someone in a costume. Matt Moneymaker tweeted about it; and here's a link to a Colorado company that uses Bigfoot as an advertising mascot. I'm not upset; sure, would have liked that footage to be of a real Sasquatch, but the Fortean realm is full of contradictions and hoaxes and mistaken things. All the mistaken things we mistake for the things. Darn.
I don't feel foolish, either. Just shows us that it's often difficult to discern what's real, what isn't. This doesn't prove to me that Bigfoot doesn't exist. Only that humans like to have fun, sometimes innocently, sometimes with more malicious intent.
