A casting of one of the prints was made by the man who discovered them, Jerry Crew, who took his unusual find to a local newspaper&#8230; and an American legend was born.<\/p>\n<p>However, decades later it was revealed that one of the men overseeing the logging operation, Ray Wallace, had been involved in a hoax using large wooden carvings to create the huge footprints. Many skeptics argue, on account of this, that the origins of what came to be known as &#8220;Bigfoot&#8221; can be traced back to the 1950s, but is this entirely true?<\/p>\n<p>This week we look at the history behind the famous Ray Wallace Bigfoot hoax of 1958, and the earlier American origins of the Sasquatch.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chapters in This Episode<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Intro\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>0:00<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>News\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>5:52<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Rocket Man\u00a0 \u00a0<strong>23:51<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>I.
