Bigfoot Hoax Gone Wrong

Randy Lee Tenley, who reportedly dressed in a "Ghillie suit" to provoke a bigfoot sighting, was standing in the right-hand lane of Highway 93 in Kalispell when he was hit by a car driven by a 15-year-old girl. Another car swerved and a third car, which reportedly had a 17-year-old female driver, ran him over.

Montana Highway Patrol Trooper Jim Schneider told Daily Inter Lake: "He was trying to make people think he was Sasquatch so people would call in a Sasquatch sighting. You can’t make it up. I haven’t seen or heard of anything like this before. Obviously, his suit made it difficult for people to see him."

The military-style "Ghillie suit" worn by Tenley was a full-body suit made of strips of camouflage fabric, making it hard for anyone to spot him.

Alcohol "may have been a factor," in the incident, according to Schneider.
