The Patterson Footage .....

If it bleeds. We can kill it.

It was 1967 when costume-maker Philip Morris got an unusual phone call from a guy asking about a gorilla costume. "We had been advertising our costumes in a lot of trade magazines, so I was used to getting phone calls, but this was different," said Morris, whose costume company Morris Costumes in Charlotte, N.C., is one of the largest in the nation.

"The man on the phone, who said his name was Roger Patterson, wanted to buy a gorilla suit and asked if it looked like a real gorilla," said Morris, a Kalamazoo Central graduate. "I told him that it looked like a Hollywood gorilla, but he said he wanted something that looked more like a Neanderthal. What he wanted was Bigfoot."

Intrigued, Morris asked Patterson what the costume was for. "He said the costume was for a prank, but I thought that was pretty odd because these were expensive suits," said Morris. "Our customers were movie studios and famous magicians, the suits cost $450 back then. That is like over $1,000 today. I thought it was odd to spend so much on a prank, but I sent him the costume."

Two weeks after sending out the costume, Morris got another phone call from Patterson. "He asked me to send him some extra fur and asked how to hide the zipper in the back and how to make the person in the costume look larger," Morris said. "I told him to brush the fur over the zipper and use hair spray to hold it, and then get some football shoulder pads and sticks for the arms to give the illusion of being taller, and use stuffing to get more bulk."

50 years of Hollywood special effects artists and physical anthropologists can't debunk it. Sherbros got it figurd out though. Is normal.

The fluid dynamics of the breasts is a particularly interesting point I've seen discussed by scientists in the past.

Monkey Costume

This video was reviewed by a world renowned primatologist who studied the movement of the creature in the video. The guy claimed it moved like an ape.

The reason it moved like an ape is because humans and apes are very closely related and there was a human in the suit. I reallllly want to believe it is bigfoot, but I just cant.

That's a drunk guy in a suit and you're a moran.

I'm not convinced either Amigo....But, there is compelling evidence that suggests it "could be" bigfoot. The castings taken from the footprints from the Patterson footage also had dermal ridges, giving more evidence that it wasn't a hoax.

Ive seen a whole lot of shit about the PGF. I'm nearly convinced it's legitimate. Plenty of people who have done zero research will come to discredit it though.

exactly - like the couple of posters on here who simply say "it's fake."

They don't realize how many professionals have tried and failed to duplicate this suit.

 

[The Sausage King]

You don't honestly believe that

You've never bothered researching this amazing footage - that's very clear. Your comment is knee jerk and without merit.

then why has Hollywood been unable to duplicate it ? how are there muscle movements and toe curls if it's a man in a suit ? why did both men call the being "He" only to be told it was a female after technology advanced to show breasts back in the late 80's ?!

A man admitted to wearing the suit.
And it's extremely more likely to have been faked than it is to have any credibility

I'm not interested in convincing anyone. I don't care what they believe. I invite them to do their own research. I've done plenty. They won't though.

There are uninformed detractors in every field. They're a dime a dozen.

LOL at Hollywood not being able to recreate a monkey costume.

 

[MoparOrNoCar]

I've seen plenty of videos with extraordinary claims that have arrows pointing to the smoking gun and all that shit.

I can never make out what the hell the arrows are actually pointing at.

Does this nonsense reply mean something to you?

Wrong. The man who claimed he was in the person in the suit is Bob Hermonious. Two problems. He claimed PG paid him $800 to walk in the suit - he claimed this back in 2000 but he forgot that $800 back in 1968 was worth nearly $4,000 in today's money. There is no way these two poor cowboys would pay a man that much to walk in a suit for 15 seconds. He also wasn't able to duplicate the walk properly even without the suit.

When he put on the suit, there was no muscle movement of any kind to match what was seen in the footage.

there's too much to show in just one post - as the thread hopefully moves on, you will see people posting links, gifs, and other things that help to support the case this was legit.
