Bigfoot Hoaxes (2012-2014)
Retired Project due to a hunter shooting at me in character
What began as a playful exploration into the realm of cryptid phenomena nearly ended in a hunter's crosshairs in the dense wilderness of Upstate New York. This project, spanning from 2012 to 2014, was a deep dive into the elusive world of Bigfoot, culminating in an unexpected and perilous encounter with a hunter shooting at me while I was disguised as the legendary creature.
My method was simple yet subversive: I would film my "performances" as Bigfoot and anonymously submit the footage to self-proclaimed Bigfoot "experts" via the North American Bigfoot Society (NABS). These connoisseurs of the unknown would then meticulously analyze my fabricated encounters, offering their earnest opinions on what I had supposedly "captured" on film. Initially, my rudimentary attempts were quickly dismissed as fakes. However, armed with the precise critiques from these very experts, I honed my craft, transforming my theatrical portrayals into increasingly convincing simulations.
Over time, my performances became so convincing that I gained the trust of a few experts, who, unbeknownst to them, engaged in candid discussions with me about my staged encounters. These recorded conversations, a selection of which are presented below, offer a fascinating glimpse into the human desire to believe in the extraordinary.
The stage for these elaborate hoaxes spanned a diverse range of landscapes, from the wild expanse of the Adirondack Park, NY, to the urban labyrinth of Brooklyn, NY. My Bigfoot persona also roamed through Oleta Park, FL; Savannah, GA; Muncie, IN; Dunes National Park, IN; Wassaic, NY; and Miami, FL, each location offering a unique backdrop to my evolving performance art. This project was not merely about deception, but about the intriguing dance between perception and reality, and the compelling allure of the unknown.

BIGFOOT EXPERTS REVIEW MY PERFORMANCES:
A Conversation between myself and Bigfoot and UFO expert Stan Gordon. I submitted my performance under a false alias claiming it was an encounter with Bigfoot that I caught on video. Stan reviewed the video and confirmed that it was really bigfoot. He then reveals the fact that he believes Bigfoot is actually an Alien.
A Conversation between myself and Bigfoot expert (and former sherrif) Richard Hucklebridge. I submitted my performance under a false alias claiming it was an encounter with Bigfoot that I caught on video. Richard reviewed the video and confirmed that it was really bigfoot. He then reveals the fact that Bigfoot can go into a STEALTH mode in which we cannot see him, but our dogs can. He also spills the beans on the fact that Bigfoots are actually a product of a fallen angel mating with a female human creating a “Nephilim”. He also knows people living with Bigfoot.
