History Pub – Son of Bigfoot presented by Michael Wallace

Don’t you wish you knew Bigfoot? Michael Wallace knows him intimately. In fact, he grew up with the man whose practical jokes on California logging sites encouraged belief in the Sasquatch lore and led to a fan base for the furry mythical creature with large feet (carved by a fellow logger). As the son of Ray Wallace, whose life as a Bigfoot hoaxer wasn’t fully revealed until after his death, Michael knows all of his father’s fantastical tricks. Join us as author Michael Wallace reveals the true story of the 1958 “sightings” that coined the term “Bigfoot.”  

 

Michael Wallace is the author of Son of Bigfoot, released by Chapters of Life Publishing in October 2025. He lives in Centralia, Washington.
