This is really true. I had a professor in college who was distantly related to the guy who wore the bigfoot suit in the Patterson films (as I recall there was more than one). One of those films is shown on tv all the time. It's of a female bigfoot tromping through the woods by a fallen tree. She pauses for a moment, looks at the camera and then continue's on. You can see where the zipper should be on the back of the suit. Also costumes like that can have arm extenders.
My professor was a very tall individual. He had a distant cousin who was over 7 feet tall. In the days before computer generated graphics if you were freakishly tall and you lived in or near the Hollywood area it was likely you would get asked to wear the suit for the latest alien/monster/robot film. My professor's cousin (who's name is Paul) said that he had been putting on a bigfoot suit and they filmed him running around the woods.
My Professor's name was Elvis Jones. About 20 years ago he was a Psychology professor at Frostburg State University in Maryland. I have been trying to contact him to try to get him to post this stuff up on the internet. It was so long ago I don't know how to contact him or even if he is still alive.
Anyway it's a true story and most definitely a plausible story for a skeptic. here's the wiki link to the Patterson film I'm talking about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patterson-Gimlin_film
