This Bigfoot brouhaha is getting hairy!
Cornell University said it has never tested any supposed Sasquatch corpse — but the celebrity Bigfoot hunter who claims to have found the questionable remains said the denial is nothing more than an Ivy League coverup.
Charles Stuart, who bills himself as “Snake the Bigfoot Hunter,” shared last month what he claimed was a DNA test from Cornell University that proved the supposed 8-foot, 300-pound Sasquatch corpse he said he found in upstate New York’s Adirondack mountains was real, and nearly 60% Neanderthal.
Cornell University told The Post those claims are bogus.
“Cornell did not conduct any testing for [Stuart,] or present a report,” a spokesperson for the University said, also confirming that the documents posted on Stuart’s website marked as coming from the university are not a product of the Ivy League school.
But the huckster, however, adamantly denied fabricating the DNA test results, and claimed the university is conspiring to cover-up the truth about Dack, which is what he named the supposed corpse.
“CORNELL IS FLAT OUT LYING — I WILL NOT BE SILENCED,” Stuart wrote in a fiery response to The Post, flipping out when confronted that his test was a hoax or faked.
“This isn’t a dispute over the facts of the report — it’s panic over control. I bypassed the machine and went straight to the public. I was warned from day one not to share this report. I released the unredacted DNA report anyway because I believe in transparency and the intelligence of the public,” Stuart continued.
The Bigfoot hunter even went as far as to say he can prove that the university is lying, and promised The Post he would be dropping a documentary that features a supposed lab technician whistleblower from the Cornell lab.
Stuart claims the scientist who performed the test is going to uncover the Ivy League conspiracy against Bigfoot and disclose the raw, dark truth that Dack is real, though he did not specify when that film would potentially drop.
“This is essentially a David VS Goliath story and we all know who wins in the end,” Stuart said.
Stuart made highly disputed claims that he found the decomposing Sasquatch carcass in 2024 — and quickly put the body on display for free at The Great New York State Fair last year, with his website claiming that 60,000 people passed through to see Dack.
Some critics have accused him of fabricating the DNA test to try and boost his fame and build more hype leading up to this year’s fair, which runs from Aug. 26 to Sept. 7. He has already advertised that Dack will be back on display, though the exhibit is free again.
Sasquatch “expert” Matthew Moneymaker from the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization — a group founded in 1995 that is dedicated to investigating Sasquatch sightings across the United States — previously shared their doubts about the DNA test results on social media, calling Stuart both a hoaxer and a scammer.
The same group just “confirmed” what they believe to be an actual sighting in Connecticut with a man who claimed to come face-to-face with a Bigfoot.
Representatives from The Great New York State Fair did not respond to The Post’s request for comment on the controversial exhibit.
