Jeff Meldrum's Thoughts On The Wallace Photo:

Post by admin » 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.

Hey Yankeesearch, didn’t even know you were in chat, now you have the bug so bad you will have to keep going out to see another one. :)

Anyway, as I stand before God, I did not make this up!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:55 am »
Not saying it was Sq/BF/DM/Yeti... but it was strange. And I am locking my doors tonight for sure! :lol:
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:54 am »
And just I was turning away, I thought I heard snort -- which could have been deer or maybe cattle... but... I do not know.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
I did not have the creepy feeling I normally get in these situations... so I really do not know what to make of it.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:53 am »
One detail I forgot to mention: the whoop had almost a human like talk after it on both occasions.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:52 am »
I walked back to the other side, and thought I heard a knock...
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:51 am »
Cattle about 1/8th mile away disappeared... and strangely at that location: it sounded like something banged the metal fence. Not loud... but never ever heard it before tonight.
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
Two whoops... and some deer scattering (they may have been scattering because of me).
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:50 am »
From 6:20 PM to maybe 6:45 PM CST
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:49 am »
I may have just had an encounter!
@ yankeesearch « Tue 12:46 am »
Hi gang! I know it has been a long time...
@ BrianDriver « Sat 12:59 pm »
Good quality pics. How long were the cams out?

Just to get the chat going, it’s going to take some time to move over all the data, but in the end, hope everyone likes the layout here.
