Man spent 50 years tricking entire town into believing Bigfoot lived there

[Still Waters]

Sometimes you might prank your mates by telling them the wrong dress code for an event or you might wrap your uni flatmate’s room in foil.

Or perhaps your pranking days started off as a kid with simple games of knock-and-run.

But rarely is a prank so extravagant that it crosses decades and fools a whole town.

And one man in Alabama, US, spent 50 years tricking his entire town of Brantley into believing Bigfoot lived there.

Prankster-genius Eugene Hendrick’s plan hatched back in the 70’s, when locals spotted tracks by the river.

That's great and all, but what about all the sightings that weren't in Alabama?  Is there some sort of National Bigfoot Conspiracy or NBC?

After 50 years, what is the point?  Idiot.

He wanted to be alive to see their reactions probably.

This is disinformation my friend’s. Bigfoot is real. That is why finding Bigfoot taught everyone to bang on trees and scream when looking for them. That’s was because the cia realized they were real, they put out finding Bigfoot because Sasquatch only cross over to hunt and gather resources. If you were 10 foot tall, 700 pounds would you stack wood by bending over? No you would lean it up against a tree. See, the truth is right in front of our faces. The big stupid animals are the humans, the Bigfoots are the smart ones.

He said he “put the feet away”. Where are they?

A long running local legend of a BF turns out to be a hoax? Shocked, shocked I say.
