Roger Patterson Film
Roger Patterson Film
Do you think the Roger Patterson film is authentic film evidence of a Bigfoot, also known as a Sasquatch? The Roger Patterson film can be a very tricky subject to discuss; it invokes deep feelings within Bigfoot believers and nonbelievers alike! The Patterson film from 1967 has still never been proven to be faked and may never will. Attempted recreations using modern techniques have been just horrible. It is still considered the best proof of the creature’s authenticity to date.
The Patterson-Gimlin film or simply the Patterson film is a short motion picture of an unidentified subject walking across a clearing filmed on October 20, 1967 by Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin who claimed the motion picture was a genuine recording of a living breathing female Bigfoot. The infamous grainy footage has been subjected to countless attempts to both debunk and authenticate it. Patterson chose the area due to intermittent reports of the creatures in the past and of their enormous footprints near there since 1958.
A number of qualified scientists after inspection have judged the motion picture a hoax with a man in an ape suit, but other scientists have contended the movie depicts an animal unknown to science, or cryptid, claiming it would be virtually impossible for a human to replicate the subject’s ape suit, gait and muscle movements. Patterson initially estimated the creature’s/Patty’s height (Patty is the name given to the alleged Bigfoot in the film by Patterson believers) at six and one-half to seven feet, and later raised his estimate to about seven and one-half feet.
Roger Patterson’s friend and business associate, Robert Gimlin, has always denied being involved in any part of a possible hoax with Patterson and claims that he and his partner had encountered a genuine Bigfoot. Patterson said he became fascinated in Bigfoot after reading an article about the creature by Ivan Sanderson in True magazine in December 1959. Roger Patterson died of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 1972, still swearing to the authenticity of his Bigfoot film.
I think it might both be true: Robert Gimlin thinking it was real, but in fact being a hoax. What if a friend of Gimlin was joking around or wanted to help him? Knowing, in which areas Gimlin would would look for Bigfoot he might have disguised in a funny dress and gave Gimlin some (big) footage…
Jerry yes that’s a possibility, but a lot of people will argue the point that it was impossible to make such a realistic ape suit in the 1960′s.
Its one of the biggest signs of proof for the Roger Patterson film bigfoot believers, they will claim we did not have the technology and the know how back then, to create such a vivid, lifelike monkey suit.
of course the roger patterson film depicts about bigfoot which we are totally unaware about,no one can tell whether they exist until they are shown with concrete evidence,as far as i am concerned i don’t believe bigfoot exists.
i totally agree that big foot exixts , the proof i believe on is the foot marks and the skin .
Roger patterson’s film is also a big proof.
im not sure if the north american bigfoot still exists,but it did exist in 1967 when patterson filmed one. freeman footage is a hoax,snowwalker footage is a hoax,and all other films i have seen are hoaxes,pattersons is 100% real. the fact is roger patterson is a legend,the only one to capture a real film clip of bigfoot. bob gimlin is also a good man who would not lie for over 42 years.
I think that bigfoot does exist but the fake stuff that other people do… makes it a theory and cahnges other peoples mind about it and not believe in it as much as they used too…. so yea i think that the proof that Roger Patterson has is 100% true …ROCK ON MAN….?
What an interesting possibility! How could I possibly be sure one way of the other regarding the existence of such a creature? It intrigues me enough that I would spend months tracking and searching for evidence if I had such an opportunity.
I wonder, if mountain cats, bear and other critters can be tracked and caught with the use of hounds, what are the reasons that the same sort of effort has not worked yet with this primate?
I commend you for the work and layout you manage in this matter. Quite professionally done with what certainly seems to be a fair and balanced approach. Best regards. Robert.
Thank you Robert for the compliment on the site. I am trying to provide a fair and balanced site for both the Bigfoot believers and non.
Robert, hunting dogs have been used in the search for Bigfoot, but so far none have been caught. But there are claims of hunting dogs tracking Bigfoot’s scent.
yes i might be true but i want real big foot caught on tape either images
