Jeff Meldrum's Thoughts On The Wallace Photo:
Posted: Tue Nov 12, 2019 10:58 pm
Ray Wallace (1918 − 2002) was a known hoaxer of Bigfoot photographs and videos. Photo above is Wallace's wife in an ape suit. According to squatchopedia.com, Ray Wallace claimed to have shot thousands of feet of bigfoot film footage. Figures have varied from 6,000 to 15,000 feet of 16mm film, which amounts to hours of footage, which includes bigfoot throwing stones, eating frogs, and so forth. Wallace maintains that his films, photos and tapes are authentic. None of the alleged films have surfaced since his death.
Dr. Jeff Meldrum posted an opinion about the photo above on his Facebook page:
There is no doubt that it is a hoax, most likely with Mrs. Wallace in the costume. Another version of it adorned the cover of an LP record album featuring the Bigfoot songs of Don Jones. Here you can see the rubber face with the gorilla-like nose, the clawed paws, etc., as it poses with one of Wallace's pet cougars. Other clips have appeared on TV spots featuring the Wallaces, with this suit on Mrs. Wallace.
