In the late 1960s, an ice encased corpse surfaced in Rollingstone Minnesota. It was humanoid, hairy and unlike anything zoologists had ever seen. Dubbed the Minnesota Iceman, it’s been classified as both a neanderthal and a sasquatch before being revealed as a carnival hoax. But to this day, researchers and Sasquatch fans still debate over the authenticity of the frozen body. The subsequent investigation and reporting became so heated that it shattered the friendship of the two founders of cryptozoology.
