Cornell University has denied a self-styled Bigfoot hunter's claim that the school conducted DNA testing on alleged Sasquatch remains found in the Adirondack Mountains. Charles "Snake" Stuart made headlines last summer when he announced a showcase of the purported cryptid carcass at the New York State Fair. After understandably skeptical Sasquatch researchers dug into his fantastic story, they quickly declared the case a well-crafted hoax put together by a performance artist in the guise of a Bigfoot hunter. Despite their rather convincing conclusion, Stuart has doubled down on his tale ahead of a second showing of the remains at this year's festivities in Syracuse at the end of the month.
