Carnie's Iceman Hoax angers young boy of Long Ago

 

In 1976 I attended Arizona State Fair in Phoenix. The Iceman exhibit was on the midway, and I decided to burn a little hard-earned allowance money on a glimpse on "The Missing Link-Is It Man Or Is It Ape-Has Bigfoot Been Captured-Etc". Inside the show trailer was a latex figure in a glass case, purported to "represent the scientific find of the century". I felt ripped off and told the man selling the tickets so. He actually agreed with me, adding that just a few years before the show actually had a real Iceman in a glass-topped cooler.  It had apparently become "too tough to travel with", but declined to elaborate.  I figured I'd just kissed half a buck goodbye and went along my way.  The next school day found me talking to my good friend Matt Clifford about the horrible hosing I'd received at the hands of the carnies, and he told me that he had seen the Real Iceman exhibit a few years previously at a fair  in Indiana. It had scared the bejabbers out of him and his dad had to bodily remove him from the trailer. What he described to me is the same thing I have seen described on this site.
