REFERENCE - http://www.alabamabigfoot.com/bigfoot/reports/RFPreport46.htm
The above referenced report of encounters was fabricated and submitted as a true account to field researchers in Cullman County by a local resident and his son. After the report was published, the two men and their cronies continued to add more elaborate sequels to their saga. After an especially interesting reported encounter, the area researchers asked this writer to drive to Alabama to investigate the reports and evaluate the area as a potential research area.
The writer, three local area researcher and five of the "witnesses" spent three days and two nights camping in the area of the purported encounters. (I had never seen or spoke to any of the clown witnesses prior to my arrival.) The writer and the three researchers spent most of their time interviewing and evaluating the residents' stories, collecting "evidence" they had "discovered", and conducting day and night surveillance in the area. After completion of the evaluation of the statements made by the witnesses, their actions during the three day encampment, and the analysis of the evidence they discovered, the following facts, conclusions and opinions regarding them and their activities are summarized below.
1. The primary "witness" and leader of the group is a beer-bellied male who is a law enforcement officer for the State of Alabama and, from his drinking habits, an obvious candidate for the local AA chapter. The man is a foul-mouth, compulsive liar, and braggart who is unable to keep his lies straight when re-telling them.
2. He and his cronies attempted to hoax the area researchers by an elaborate scheme in which fake hair (very realistic looking red wig hair made from a wheat straw base) was attached to a side of a small pine tree in clumps from about 3 feet above the ground to a point a little over seven feet above ground. Some of the hair clumps at the 3 feet level were matted with somewhat fresh feces (fresh s--- that may have come from the primary witness's otherwise occupied brain cavity). The hoax was complete with two large bare footprints, with the heels nearly against the tree, in the pine straw at the base of the tree.
3. Even though it was obvious to this writer that the primary witness was lying and exaggerating most of the time that I spoke with him, I and the other researchers knew that the particular area does in fact harbor a large group of the animals we try to study. For that reason, we chose not to confront the "witness" about the discrepancies in his stories while in the field.
4. The day after we broke camp, I left to conduct a few days work with real witnesses in adjoining Winston County. When back in a cell phone service area, I found that my wife had been taken to the hospital, so I immediately returned home. After seeing that my wife was a little better two days later, I found that the hair fibers were actually fake wig hair.
Mike has been asked to remove the original falsified report from his web site for obvious reasons.
Comments: The "witnesses" who falsified the original report and concocted the hoax with the fake hair, and the brain cavity feces, bear striking resemblances in words, actions and deeds to the nitwits from Georgia, one of which was also a law enforcement officer. In my opinion, the testimony of the Alabama officer in any case in which he is involved would be as tainted and lacking the same credibility as would the Georgia cop's. Of course the Georgia boy won't have to worry about that unless his law suit gets his job back. Hopefully the lying Alabama cop will lose his job when he is caught in a lie on the witness stand. (I sure would like to testify for the defense as to his credibility in some case in which he is the prosecutor's main witness. That would be a hoot and I would gladly do it at my own expense!)
Other comments. The moral character of this witness and his cronies was vividly displayed one night at the camp when a young female relative brought her young daughter to spend a hour or so. By the time the girls arrived, the man and his cronies were drunk. While the girls were there the group of men continued to curse, using the "f" word every time they opened their foul mouths. I and the other researchers retreated from the campfire area in disgust before starting a fight with them about their gross language in front of the small girl.
A female friend of the primary witness spent the first night in the tent with him and his other male cronies. When I arose the next morning, she was sitting on the tall fescue grass outside their tent vomiting. A few minutes later, she was passed out on her back on the dew-drenched grass. Although she was minus her shirt, her natural appearance was enough to protect her from a sexual attack by Bigfoot, man or any other living creature.
If the reader thinks the writer is p---- off at these local idiots, the reader is d--- well right. I have little tolerance for liars and fools.

Tal glad you have gotten to the bottom of this. Thanks for an honest account.
As to the actions of a drunkard. Hopefully he will stray in an area where he isn't well known and find his happy self in a 'heep of trouble'. That would be justice.

C'mon Tal, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel!
Seriously though, I know that kind of bovine excrement (BS) has to be infuriating to a serious researcher like yourself. Can't really understand what motivates these idiots to do such things. Too bad the morons can't be sued for wasting your and the other researcher's time and money!
Thanks for letting us know the truth and keep up the good work. Your efforts are greatly appreciated by those of us here who might not otherwise know what is true and what is hoax.

If I wrote and posted exactly what I think of these morons, Mike would ban me for the rest of my life.
Thanks to all for the comments.

Dr. Henner Fahrenbach graciously agreed to look at some of the hair from the recent hoax attempt. Before he received it, a forensic lab had told me for sure that it was very real looking synthetic hair. Without the use of a microscope, I could not tell for sure. (I could not get to the medical lab's microscopes that has been made available to me because my wife was having severe pain and in and out of the emergency room.)
Dr. Fahrenbach's response contains some interesting info for us all.
"The "hair" is well chosen for a hoax. It has the right color and approximate diameter, but it is insanely long and, above all, it is an extruded, synthetic fiber of unknown composition, possibly Dynel, as that gets used in doll wigs commonly (but also in overstuffed furniture). I have received Dynel fibers from upstanding researchers, but it has been used to slander some of them for trying to dupe others (ostensibly). It definitely takes microscopy to identify its non-hair nature. In large batches, Dynel has the feel and warmth of Vicuña wool, so it can easily fool people. That should also be a warning to take it slow and easy on DNA analysis and do the basic homework by microscopy first."
My best, Henner.

Sounds like a great anonymous tip to a local reporter...
"Local Police Officer Passes Fake Evidence of Bigfoot"
Probably ruin his law enforcement days and would serve 'em right. Unfortunately, a news report like that will go into the batch of all the other faked BF encounters which makes the reality of a RFP and serious research of the same less credible. That's all that is needed. Another media joke.

It says alot about the world today that these hoaxes keep being perpetrated
by law enforcement officers.
I'm sure that there are a whole lot of criminals behind bars due to the lying
nature of these officers, and that definately bothers me.
