Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot Video

[Pittie Petey]

Wasn't this video filmed in the same day the guy bought a camera with which he wanted to prove Bigfoot existence?

Talk about luck!

It’s crazy that now that everyone has a camera in there pocket no one can catch a video of one but back in the 60s when no one had cameras these two just happened to have one and be filming and caught Bigfoot on tape .

Not everyone with a phone camera is walking around in the places you'd actually see one.

People that go into the woods still usually take a phone, a camera or a go pro. Very few people go hiking or deep woods camping without a camera these days.

The locals knew it was Bob Heironimus just by the way the guy was walking but they kept quiet because it brought a lot of tourist business to town.

Phillip Morris provided the costume.

While almost everyone today carries a phone with a camera capable of capturing moving images, in 1967, that was not the case. Film was about the only way of capturing moving images with portable equipment. They went into the woods with the equipment to film this to make money.

The arm length is what gets me... back in school I did an analysis of this footage for a class biology project. I thought it looked fake, but the lengths of the arms are really out of wack compared to normal human proportions. And it's not the obvious "extend the lower arm," that you can do with a costume. The upper arms are extra long--not sure how you fake that.

Y'all studying a man ass.

Didnt one of the guys confess on his deathbed that it was fake? It’s still a cool video.

edit: my bad. I guess he actually stuck to his guns while on his deathbed. Makes it even better.

That's still not deep enough.

Stands to reason he would believe in both Bigfoot and Confession cleansing the soul. Man earned hisself a ticket to a Bigfoot heaven.

The convenience of the whole thing is actually the biggest red flag to me.

People are right. The extenuating circumstances of this event with Patterson being a reputed grifter are odd. The duo was in fact looking for this thing for a while
This ain't no costume

The thigh jiggle and the head swivel, the arm length and movement as you pointed out
Look where the back of the arm meets the lat dorsi
try walking while showing the soles of your feet.....
1960s? Cmon

Actually the bottom of the suit could be of a thin shear material with fur matted over it, if that was the case you would still see thigh jiggle. You can sort of make out a likely seem line where the shear material meats thicker material just above the hip.

The hair costume is clearly separated into 3 pieces, shirt, diaper and leggings

That isn't evidenced it wasn't a suit. Just saying that you don't see suits like this in the 60's doesn't mean that someone didn't make one this elaborate. You can actually see around the hip right where the transition is in the material. Also given the grainy video from that era there's a pretty damn good chance if we had an HD camera at the time you'd probably see even more tells that this is a suit.

LOL the human brain tries so hard to see what it wants to see.

And also tries hard to deny what it sees.

I am a cryptozoology fan and I'd say 9/10 videos or photos I've seen of anything, I can immediately call bullshit or mistaken identity.

I've always been on the fence with this one. There are definitely moments when you can see muscles rippling and forehead frowning, and those things were simply not easy to get hold back then, in terms of a costume, if at all. See the POTA movies as the prime example of what a 'great ape costume' looked like back then, and see how many of those fuckers could frown in those shitty masks.

The back story to the video sounds very iffy though, I can see why anyone would doubt it.

Gun to head......

I think it's genuine. There, I said it.

Well that ones dead by now, so how many others do you think were around to breed with then? Basically, how many hundreds or thousands of the giant ape do you think are walking around?

It's got titties whatever it is.

All I need to be on board with this.
