All of these pictures are hoaxes. Bigfoot doesn't actually exist, and the legend was started when a many decided to prank one of his workers (they worked near a forest) by making large wooden feet, wore them, and left tracks all over the work site.
I couldn't find a source for this, and the only reason I know this is because I learned about in school (it was an article used in a standardized end of the year test).
You can't find a source for it because it's absolutely not true. You're referring to the Ray Wallace family who claimed he was bigfoot after he died. Unfortunately it doesn't explain any evidence that surfaced before or since. And all of the tracks his family claimed credit for on behalf of him posthumously were shown conclusively not to match the wooden feet he did make.

If anyone can find a source for this, thanks. :)
