    Bobs a truthful soul. The man is a Humble and a honest to goodness true mountain man/Cowboy with little Indian to boot! He’s not a liar. Men like Bob are rare in this day and age. The film is Without doubt after examination -all these years by Munn and others to be Sasquatch. MK Davis’s Early work was very good, but MK fell by the wayside ‘attempting to stay in the limelight’ -As time progressed and others began good analysis and research.

      If you look deeply into peter caine and look past the comedy and his own mocking of the topic and look past his silly rediculous videos you will learn that peter caine really does have 3 specimens in a walk in freezer....as nuts as that sounds, he dad killed 3 with a 12 gauge birdshot automatic browning in 1953. And had to cut them up to get out of the swamp and fly them on a float plane. You have to look deep to see its not just bullshit, peter does a great job of making 99% of the people laugh and dismiss his own videos and now he finally realizes he went too far in the mockery. Like trumps lies on the election and his anti covid consequences. Peter mocked too hard. On the double right arm video he says half way through, no one in science takes it serious that he has the specimens.

    I lived deep in the Pacific Northwest and I’ve seen them 3 times and a girlfriend when I was 16 needed to pee bad and she insisted on going far enough that I couldn’t see her go and within 2 minutes of going out behind trees she came back screaming and saying there was a monkey and she was crying. Anyway it made a believer out of her. Me and my best friend would ride in the trees on our BMX bikes down hills and they would watch us and follow us.
    When I was about 9 years old , one of them killed a horse and later the horses head was in a near by creek and I knew after that , that they kill animals and eat meat but I would never have guessed they would eat a horse ? Now it makes sense but at the time it really scared me, for some reason I thought they eat berries and leaves but after that they scared me. I don’t talk face to face with people about it because they think I’m seeking attention or I’m making it up. Everyone says “it’s a guy in a gorilla suit” It’s pointless to talk to people about it, I pray those people run into one.

    I believe Bob, and I believe the video actually shows a real bigfoot. Best, most clear video of bigfoot I`ve ever seen. Roger Patterson still swore on his death bed that the video was authentic. To me, the sasquatch that was recorded looks like it was actually embarrassed to be caught out in the open. It wasn`t scared. No reason something that big would be. There could very well have been more of them around. Also, the reaction of the horse tells me that it smelled the sasquatch, and was scared. The horse knew what it was looking at.

    If this guy is correct and what he witnessed was an estimated 800 lbs,, that means they have to chow down a lot.
    Two major 'events' happened to me that same year. First, this came out and then, later, a classic 'flying saucer' flew low and slow directly over my house at about 10 PM. At the time, I had an unshielded porch light, so the craft was lit up from my light. Looked to be about 100' in diameter and at an estimated 100' above me. Fifty years later, I can still clearly envision it.

      As Bob said in the beginning of the film, Back in the old days, he and his wife were thought to be kooks because Bob was with Roger when they finally got some film of Bigfoot. For years Bob kept his mouth shut because his wife got so much grief at her job about BF, she was on the verge of divorcing him. I watching the film years ago and thought it was a hoax too. I have spent all of my spare time over the last 40 years camping, hiking, backpacking in state forests and game lands. I have NEVER seen, smelled, or saw tracks of anything that could have been bigfoot. But I spent most of my life living in the NE US. I never spent any time in the Pacific Northwest. Its a different ball game. I have been to the Rockie Mts. but not for extended periods of time, so I don't have a dog in the fight. Humans have different bone structure than BIG FOOT. Its an animal.

Whatever that was it wasn’t a man in a suit, that’s just the easiest answer for people who don’t want to think that there’s an undiscovered animal that the mighty white man hasn’t discovered.. people like you said the same thing about the giant squid and mountain gorilla only to be proven WRONG!.. sorry but if yer intelligent enough, you can clearly see it cant be a suit.. and if it was, it was the best suit in the world and woulda been millions.. nobody has ever produced the actual suit either.. there have been a few tards who claimed to have been the man “in the suit” too 😂.

    Glad I saw this. The man is 100% believable. If you have ever seen something so rare and unexpected, it is a mix of emotions that you have to process and then try to convey to others. I know this first hand. I saw something in Gettysburg military park on a rainy evening well after sundown. My wife and I were parked at the base of Little Round Top. And we both saw a ball of light come up out of the ground about 2 feet off the ground. It moved to the left, then back to the right, went back to center, and closed down as it went back into the ground. She was really shook up and started to cry, and I was just in shock and almost disbelief as to what had just happened. I have always been careful who I told this too, because you know peoples first reaction is to not believe you. Just like this man says..."I know what I saw". I believe him.

    For those who continue to remain critical of Bob’s story, even after studying the evidence, as well as, logically considering all of the variables involved, all I ask of you is to submit a sensible, reasonable answer to only one question: why would these two grown men put forth the amount the time, money, and resources they did in order to design and manufacture a very believable full-body hair suit (probably the first of its kind) and then, PUT BOOBS ON IT???
    Yes, the Patterson/Gimlin Bigfoot has fully developed breasts, indicating that it is a female. Why in god’s name would anyone attempting to FAKE the most involved Sasquatch sighting of all time put big dangly boobs on it???
    Please also keep in mind that at the time that this footage was shot, “Bigfoot” was not the massive cultural phenomenon it is today…it became that way, in large part, BECAUSE OF this footage. For those insisting that it can’t be real simply because “It looks fake”, the question begs to be asked, “How can one criticize the legitimacy of the appearance of a thing no one has ever seen?”
    Flat Earthers use this brand of logic quite often, insisting that the images of space, Earth, the moon, other planets, etc are all CGI and don’t actually exist, because it all looks so manufactured, like a movie. I don’t think it’s necessary for me to break down the thinking required here in order to recognize the fallacy of such a statement, as it is impossible for a person to either confirm or refute the legitimacy of a thing they have never actually seen, themselves.
    One area of study that I find the most compelling, with regard to the potential existence of the entity we call ‘Bigfoot’, is that of body mechanics. It doesn’t take much time or analysis to recognize the key differences that exist in the way that the physical bodies of humans and gorillas function and operate. This also applies to creature we know as Sasquatch.
    If you go over to ThinkerThunker’s channel and watch the latest 3 or 4 videos he’s released, it becomes very apparent that not only are there drastic differences in the way their bodies behave in relation to our own, but those differences are remarkably consistent. Apes, especially gorillas, tend to have much shorter legs and much longer arms than humans, they have virtually no neck, a “pointed” head, extremely wide shoulders, etc…all qualities that we see in the most legitimate documented Bigfoot sightings available on film. They also tend to lean forward when either walking or running, and their leading and trailing legs make an approx 90 degree angle when walking…which, if attempted by a human, resembles something akin to the human imitation of a chicken.
    Anyway, I highly recommend spending considerable time checking out the videos on TT’s channel, for anyone truly interested in studying this amazing phenomenon.

      “Big dangly boobs” 😂 I have too asked why these men would add breasts (big dangly boobs 😂) to the Sasquatch, considering it was the 60’s, and would have been seen as crude, and more unbelievable. Sasquatch were considered monsters back then, no way would these guys add the breasts. I love Patty. She and the mother and baby Bigfoot (filmed on Independence Day a few years back) are my absolute favourite. I laughed out loud to the comment about the boobs….like head back laughing 😆 thank you.

      Answer on your question why to put breast on suit, well this is about inteligence lvl, and the reason why would they do it is exactly your way of thinking, because it create illusion that its real, because who would do that right? Do you understand this paradox? “Lets make sasquatch female so people will be even more confused that who on earth would do that””, why not male?”.. dont undersetimate peoples creativity and inteligence, I dont claim its fake, to me its also bizare that even Patterson insisted that its real till he died, who would die as liar for some stupid foptage right? Or maybe he believed on sasquatch, even saw one so he decided to create at least fake footage to break taboo of this topic, and he refused to confest truth because in his mind it was truth. But who knows, there is so much dust created around this footage, begining with guy claiming he is one in that suit, he can be also payed to lie for discrediting this footage for whoevers reason, you can find on both sides so many motivation to lie..

      Pattison had already published a book about Bigfoot and was now setting out to make a film about Bigfoot, so he had a high motive to film it. They set out to an area where "bigfoot" had been spotted by others recently. I don't know if the bigfoot was real on not, but in my opinion it was not. They couldn't get an actor who was eight to ten feet tall (like a grizzly standing on its hind legs) so they had to make the costume a six foot female. Maybe it was some guy who didn't work for Pattison or Gimlin but was wandering around in a bigfoot costume, pranking people. A very sophisticated costume mind you.

      That's an interesting point; it's probably because this film is still so divisive; a film adaptation of the whole story leading up to and including the making of this one-minute film and everything that happened afterward, would ultimately have to come out on either the "real" or "hoax" side, or it wouldn't satisfy any audience. As someone born in the 60s it's interesting to me how much staying power this film has had. I remember hearing about it a couple of times when I was a kid; once I think I saw a snippet of the film in a TV advertisement for some documentary feature. It was confusing to be because it was interspersed with close-up footage of "ape-men" that was obviously fake and made specifically for the documentary, yet I remember the announcer saying something about the film of the creature walking away in the distance being claimed by the filmmaker to be a real "Bigfoot", i.e., some strange creature that was not human. I learned a bit about it in 6th grade social studies class when we did a current affairs unit that covered mysteries and the paranormal, like UFOs, the Loch Ness monster, and Bigfoot. We were encouraged to be sceptical about it, just like other unprovable phenomenon like ghosts and ESP. I never gave much more thought to it until I saw the film again in an episode of the the A & E TV documentary series Ancient Mysteries, in the 1990s. It was shown at the end of a sequence of a number of other videotaped, filmed, or photographed claimed sightings of Bigfoot, all of which had long since been debunked as fakes or just cases of mistaken identity, eg. bears standing on their hind legs, or unusually-shaped tree stumps. It was presented as the only visual evidence that has still not be conclusively proven to be faked. The difference between it and all those other laughably unconvincing pieces of "evidence" was striking. I don't understand how do many people find it so easy to write this film off as just another hoax; they must just refuse to really look at it closely.

    We can see muscle groups flexing, the bare soles of Patty's feet, and her fingers curling and extending with each step -- thats movement of fingers and hands which hang on very long arms.
    These details have been studied by the experts in Cryptozoology as well and film making and special effects. They all state that what the film shows could not have been achieved in 1967, and cannot be duplicated now.

The suites the use now don't even work like that either they use them for mass with padding but don't ripple because the padding does not behave that way only cgi can compete with that 'suit' from 67.

    He could have made himself rich by telling the “truth” about what happened. He’s never done that. He’s had over 50 years to cash in. He’s telling the same story he told in 1967. Do the homework and you’ll see he’s never deviated. Whatever happened out there, he believes what he experienced.

    He's been a hustler his whole life. He even approached Roger's widow Patricia at his funeral demanding money from the film. When she refused, he sued her in court. Vilma Radford's contract was brought before the judge, and he didn't buy Patricia's claim that it was forged, which means Bob gets paid.

      @@WHOOOSHXDOfficial Well... As a Telecine Colorist, I did the "Mastering" of this film. Patterson's Grandson and Mr. Gimlin both sat in during the session. They both talked freely about the footage, about the fame & money it brought. It was never their original plan to have things blow up as they did. But rode the wave anyway. I'm not saying their is no creature like Bigfoot, but this isn't it.

      @@rjl1309 I disagree but very interesting info. I feel like they did catch something real but they dragged it out by talking to people after Patterson’s death. Patterson never admitted any said hoax and said on his death bed the creature was real, Bob even refused to talk for a while. Bob Gimlin very well did appreciate the amount of money he gained but even then he declined $1,000,000 to say it was a hoax because according to him “the creature was real and saying it was a hoax would be dishonest, which he wasn’t.” I’m not saying you’re experience with Gimlin isn’t true, but seeing the proportions and the fact the said suit is way better then anything at the time screams that it’s a real animal, yet the reputation of Patterson kind of ruins the film for some people.

    I’m currently reading the book “Sasquatch,Legend Meets Science” by Jeff Meldrum.It is a comprehensive study of large ape species and how they could possibly relate to the existence of Bigfoot in North America.Whether you believe or not,it is a good read.
    I am certainly interested in the possible existence of Sasquatch,but I am still on the fence as to whether they truly do exist.But when people who have nothing to gain but ridicule come forward with their experiences,I can’t help but think they are being truthful.
