Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot Video

[The_Renaissance]

Oh for fuck sakes man. It's a dude in a cheap ape suit.

Absolutely nothing cheap about that ape-suit.

For reference, here's a cheap ape suit:

It may well be an ape suit, but if so, it's better than anything even Hollywood could muster at that time.

Exactly. How is it in a world where everyone has a camera in their pocket this video for more than 40 years ago is still the only one clearly showing bigfoot?

Also, like I said, absolutely zero physical evidence that they exist?

have they ever even found a big foot poop?
I mean the bastard must poop in the woods, right?

Ive spent a lotta time up in those Redwoods, dealing with the hill people that live there
Its more likely that thats a hairy ass 6th generation inbred hillbilly demon baby produced by a granny on grandson four way fuck fest

Whats his username on Sherdog?

The above two videos, which I suspect to be authentic, show some consistent morphology between the subjects. The second video is very brief, but you can still see a good shot of the subject's form as it walks off trail.

The most damning hoax evidence IMO is roger's drawing of BF that he published a year before the film was taken... it's basically concept art for the costume he made. Although I'm still not convinced anybody could make a costume that good in 1966.

He was a Bigfoot enthusiast who drew that image based on an eyewitness account, he didn't conjure it up out of thin air. Stands to reason that an extant species of Sasquatch would have females, so to have drawn one previously isn't really any striking indication of a hoax.

I grew up in the area that was home to the Susquehannock Indians in Pennsylvania. There were rumors of "Bigfoot" in the area surrounding the Susquehanna river. I got to talk to a Susquehannock tribal descendent when I was attending a basketball camp at Susquehanna University as a teen and asked him about tribal history, what happened to the tribe, and lastly of their legends. He told me that they have maintained an oral and written history of a Bigfoot creature.

Having hunted in the woods of Pennsylvania I can say that I've seen and heard odd things that line up with the goofy Bigfoot shows on TV the oddest being trees broken at a point higher than I am tall with the tree top pointing down to the ground. No fallen trees around them to explain the break. Doesn't mean there's a Bigfoot to blame but it's fun to imagine since there's no easy explanation visible.

To be fair they only discovered homo Floresiensis in 2003.

Yes, but the difference is Floresiensis has been dead for 12,000 years. It's understandable that after 12k years remains would be hard to find. Something that is supposedly still living would be much easier to find traces of.

Lemme ask you: what constitutes a expert video watcher? Is it a vcr? Something else?

There have been biologists and other specialists like the ones posted here discussing the movement mechanics of the creature in the video.

then there is the fact that Bigfoot. Costumes of the era were not anywhere near as good as one I the film was.

they even had the guy that said. He. Made that one make another one and it was dog shit comparatively.

Hollywood movie budget money at the time didn’t come close so you think some broke asses made that??

 

[rex kramer]

Yeah if I remember correctly he heard a splash in a lake and he immediately assumed he must had been Bigfoot throwing rocks at him. Most posters agreed with him too.

Of course, I've seen the footage. Many, many people have and there are those who will tell you that it looks like somebody in a gorilla suit. What do you say to those people?


Gimlin:

If they've ever heard of Bill Munns, who was a special effects man in Hollywood for 30 some years, and he went into that film footage to prove that it was false. After he studied it for so long he said, "I was the best there was in special effects," and he said, "I couldn't have come up with anything close to a man in a suit that looked like that."

 

[minute bull]

That's weird because Bill told me nothing about that. And Bill would have said something.

There have been biologists and other specialists....

I'm sure the recorded footage is the last Bigfoot ever, who then proceeded to eat himself leaving no trace behind. The rest were lost to the atmosphere back before Newton discovered gravity. Tricky, treacherous times.

Well, there are tons of idiots who managed to obtain a PhD so just remember that when people are presented as experts. Then there are others who may be experts but they are also biased toward one possibility than another. Experts tend to be just as tribal as everyone else, unfortunately.

While I open to the idea that bigfoot exists (or some variation given the number of countries/cultures that have reported similar creatures), I don't think that video actually shows it. The gate/stride of the "creature" looked way too human like - if I had to bet, I would say it was a guy in a costume. Plus, you would think that if it really was a human like animal that lived in the woods, that it would exhibit some signs of fear/anxiety/anger from being spotted. Even with people, the natural reaction when they see something they don't expect is to pause and evaluate the situation, and if afraid, run.

Bigfoot's reaction in the video just seemed so nonchalant "Hey bro, great day for a stroll, isn't it?".

With all of that being said, this is me guessing. May @Zookeeper Gabe could provide better insight into animal behavior, and how they react when they see humans.

PS: My ex lived in Bhutan when she was doing her Ph.D. Apparently the existence of Yetis (plural) isn't even up for debate - people know that it exists and treat it like any other dangerous animal native to the area. Her guides told her that they have encountered Yetis on multiple occasions, and that there are even different types that live in the mountains.

Animals that aren’t used to seeing people can have varying reactions but often times their fear is very limited.
As to your point about the people of Bhutan, I find local people and indigenous people some of the best people to talk to about local wildlife but also some of the worst. When we were in Honduras the local people would be concerned for us while we handled coral snakes (potentially deadly) but they would think we were insane for handling some of the lizards. Not beaded lizards (venomous), just harmless basilisks and other small medium lizards. They were convinced they were deadly venomous

Yes, I've hunted in bear country. Places where they might live out their whole lives and not seen a human. Had one climb up a tree I was in and sniff at me and run away. I don't think he had a clue what I was and being the alpha preditor in the area had no reason to fear me.

Moose also tend not to fear humans.

If that thing was actually walking through the forest it would be loud as hell. The woods in NorCal can be thick and that thing is not build to quietly slide between bushes. They would be natural prey for the mountain lion and wolves and would have competed for habitat with the grizzly bear.

Bigfoot is a joke and has been from the beginning. It's not real and there is no such thing.

I'm the OP of this thread . I've actually been looking for those videos but could not remember the names of them for the life of me (Freeman)

I think the videos above are true hoaxes and are typical of what you've gotten outside of the PG video . What's interesting to me is that they're both relatively recent when compared to The PG video. You'll notice how the depicted creature is always obscured and never clearly seen . Not like PG . And to me these are what clearly look like men in gorilla suits. My other point being those are Truly cheap shitty monkey suits

so compared to PG which was shot in 1967 by two simpletons there's a clear difference in what's being presented

the PG video imo is a true anomaly

 

[minute bull]

There's an anomaly all right.

You're not wrong. There was an earwitness account of Bigfoot launching what could only be boulders into the nearby waters.

No bigfootage, but the story cannot be disproven. As for being prey to those can animals, Bigfoot is clandestinely protected by the Federal Government of the United States of America.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

Just carefully look at this gif I'm asking all of you.

Both videos were shot about 50-60 feet from the subject

just look at the mass of this thing compared to Trump and contemplate for a hot minute It appears to be well over 300 lbs

it's f'n massive

 

[minute bull]

Yooge. He's also the only Bigfoot to ever be impeached TWICE.

Tremendous.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

The issue with the Patterson film is they specifically went out looking for Bigfoot....and found him.

I'd love for there to be an elusive man-ape out there and I do think it probably existed in the past but is long extinct.
