Patterson Gimlin Bigfoot Video

[StewDogg11]

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 and contemplate for a hot minute It appears to be well over 300 lbs

it's f'n massive

Well to be fair if Trump were wearing a bulky costume he’d probably be over 300 pounds as well.

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.

Please allow the music to establish itself:

I've read or heard that as well and there's no way to confirm or deny it Could be a case of rumor becoming fact over time and through passing information through people. Like a note being passed through a 100 people and being a totally different story at the end Could also be a true story I don't know

I'm only focused on the weirdness of this video

I've seen this footage many times on "unsolved mystery" shows going back to the 70's. It's fun to think it might be real but watching the clip again, I don't buy the two main justifications:

1) The stride, gait and proportions of the creature are not human

Says who? Maybe relative to an average sized human with average body symmetry but what about a person with deformed or otherwise irregular symmetry?

And the assertion that stepping with soles perpendicular to the ground is unnatural for humans. WTF? If you forefoot strike (which you naturally do when walking barefoot), you naturally raise feet higher in the back than if you were heel striking with shoes on. Walking barefoot while raising soles perpendicular to ground is pretty easy to do.

The stride to me looks like it could be a dude (or a woman!) with a large, goofy physique wearing football shoulder pads underneath a costume.

2) If faked, the costume was beyond the capabilities of an artisan in 1967

LOL. In 1967 humans had achieved manned earth orbit. And back on earth, sewing machines and technology, pattern making and a variety of natural and synthetic materials had been available for hundreds if not thousands of years.

If anything, the level of hand craftsmanship has declined since the 19th century due to everything being mass produced rather than handmade. If a medieval craftsman were so inclined, I'm sure he could have crafted a convincing primate suit out of materials and technology of the time. Just because such a suit was not commercially mass produced in 1967, or wasn't budget or time effective for a movie of the time doesn't mean it wasn't reasonably achievable for a determined layperson of average intelligence.

At the risk of a stupid thread I just wanted to see what you peeps thought of this very famous video

can't say I give two you know what's about Bigfoot. Can't say I'm a believer. But damn that video is weird AF

I consider myself a logical person with ability to formulate valid arguments I appreciate critical thinking.

But this video honestly gives me the creeps

you really can see vascularity in certain parts. The thigh def shows a hernia indentation. It definitely walks weird with the sole of the feet perpendicular to the ground in some parts. Arms are long AF. It's got titties whatever it is. And that head movement in that frame when she looks back at the camera. You can't do that in a costume especially one made in the 1960s (Film was shot in 1968)

just a weird home movie

Comment at will It's mostly for fun but I don't know ....

I'm a rational and logical thinker as well and that looks like a costume lol. Didn't the guy admit it was fake years later?

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

amazing how you can deduce mass from an image

it could be a 150lb man in a thick suit.

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.

crazy how a dog that is conveniently strapped with a gopro can find a bigfoot out in the open no problem with it not even trying to run away from it. but none of the millions and millions of hunters around the world ever stumble up close to one with a high powered hunting rifle and kill it.

I've spent a good deal of time researching the Patterson-Gimlin account. I am rather convinced it is authentic, but hesitate to fully commit to believing it's real. The shoulder width and proportions of the arms are convincing, as well as the shin rise and vertical foot when striding. Below is a bio-mechanical expert's analysis (Dmitri Donskoy, used to train Russian Olympians).


If it's a hoax, it's extraordinarily well done, especially for it's time - as the suit, if it is one, is above and beyond the day's top cinematic quality. Not only that, but how they established the realistic shoulder width and arm proportions defies understanding, as well as the shin rise.

The only characteristic of the subject that seems somewhat off to me, is the region where the ass meets the leg. It's abruptly bulbous and looks somewhat like it could be a suit to me there, where the torso is separate and is pulled up over the leg, or slipped into.

But as far as the rear end is concerned, Brown University Biologist Christine Janis did have this to say, "It's not a logical argument to claim that because Bigfoot looks like no known ape that it can't be any type of unknown ape. Should another ape (besides ourselves) have evolved the habitual bipedal walking, then they would also have likely evolved methods of stabilizing the mass of the trunk over the hips, such as enlarging the gluteus maximus muscles as in humans, which is what gives us our larger buttocks. Note that the members of the horse family, which habitually fight by standing on the hind legs, have larger gluteal muscles than other hoofed mammals, and correspondingly larger, more rounded buttocks. A Bigfoot with a big rear end is actually a predictable likelihood rather than an impossibility."

Lastly, Heironimus is a fraud as is Phillip Morris. Neither of them has any proof that they played a role in the video, yet skeptics seem to willingly take them at their words on this topic, while scoffing at the reliability of eyewitness accounts, which is ironic.

"Best cosmetic costumes we have today" lost credibility at that moment .

So weird I guess In my perspective I'm taking a lot into consideration such as era, technology available, monkey suits available (eg Bill Munn saying he couldn't make a suit this good if it is a suit) , the two men involved and their capabilities, etc

After watching this over a 100 times over the years, I've just never seen a suit even now that shows that much detail and vascularity. It just doesn't exist . Plus the creature in this video is Friggen Uuuuge

you'll notice I never call this thing a Bigfoot bc I still can't say for certain they exist

but whatever is in that video to me at least is inhuman

the Freeman video imo is def a dude in a suit

So your and expert on ape suits since you never seen anything like it ?

Planet of the apes movies back then had better suits. I'm sure they could make better suits right now if they want too.

 

[BluntForceTrama]

it's my opinion That thing is at least 60 feet away
It was reported by Patterson to be at least that far away when that portion of the video was taken

when he first came upon the creature on the stream bank I believe he said he was less than 20 feet away and then it booked off Both dudes said when it was walking and looking back it was with extreme contempt as if it was pissed off that they interrupted her

no Planet of the Apes was shit back then and if they had used one for this you would totally be able to tell

I'm going off mostly what Bill Munn had to say about this video

 

[cabear]

i dunno, the bottom of it's foot looks weird in that freeze-frame, like a costume shoe. The gait to me isn't an indicator either, i'm 6'3 and in a big heavy suit like that, i'm sure i'd walk weird too trying to compensate for it's weight with my bad knees. I wanna believe the shit out of big foot but too many other people here put up better reasons why it's probably a fake.

youve been here for 6 pages now got anything else to add or got nothing to do?

They found something they were looking for? THAT'S what's got you convinced there's no giant apes in the woods?

Yeah?

im pretty sure its legitimate when all is said and done. add to that the thousands of sightings that experienced woodsman, hunters and survivalists report and it seems most likely to be a real thing.

just exactly what "it" is i do not know but i have ruled out thousands of cases of misidentification primarily by listening to real accounts by the dozens. misidentificatoin does not explain the accounts.

then you have jeff meldrum, an expert phd from idaho university saying that many of the castings he has in his possession could not have been faked.

if anyone wants a crash course on this topic, even just for future mocking or basic entertainment these three short videos are a great place to start. first one is accidentally timestamped, start at the begining.

Lol. And that bigfoot suit is better . Man you have some low standards.
