| National Geographic Channel on -(The American Paranormal"Bigfoot") had a special on the Bigfoot tape that Roger Patterson and Gimlin made back in 1967. Mrs. Paterson let them use the original film that she keeps in a vault ,where the expert set it up in her home. Greg Long wrote a book on the making of the Bigfoot The Inside Story. (I just finished it) After several years and extensive interviews with the different characters of the area who were involved with,or knew Patterson, Mr.Long came to the conclusion that the Film was a hoax and he claims fooled scores of scientist and so many people around the world. The Geographic Documentary came to the conclusion after expert studies that the film is indeed real. This Film has been around for 43 years. It's still the center of debates between the believers and the skeptics. |

| COMMENT From-Jesus Christ= Comment=The film that Roger Paterson and Bob Gimlin made in 1967 of Bigfoot was real. The creature that they filmed was half man and half gorilla. Man went to Africa a long time ago and caught female gorillas and had sex with them. If you don't believe that humans and primates can reproduce together,then just watch these two videos. NOTE by Emma- Watched the videos.-You Tube-v=EvVpRLvj3qs( entertainment only,not true.) v=mHVFE02NTgU( Chimps and humans have never crossed bred,this documentary also shows that.) Emma-Dr. Mary S. McDonald Pavelka's presentation..."Is it possible for an ape to evolve into a more human-like form? Her answers may startle proponents of the ape theory..."Apes are our Contemporaries,not our ancestors..." http://www.bigfootencounters.com/biology/pavelka.htm Also Hitler wanted to create a superior fighting race and tried to inseminate chimpanzees with human eggs and a female human with eggs from a chimpanzee, they wouldn't take. I believe this documentary was on the History Channel. |
| Name-S.Pye Comment=Dear Skunk Ape Readers. I have found out once and for all what hundreds of people claim they see in the forest at night. The prehistoric tropical gigantopithecus. It was the biggest ape to ever live,the same size as its very close cousin;the temperate gigantopithecus. They were double the size of the biggest ape. And a few heads smaller then "King King'. I know you must get email from crazies wanting fame saying they saw something but I assure you that One do not claim to have seen one.Two:The sightings are identical,you can't see the exact resemblance.Yes.I do not live in Florida but far away(Mississauga,Ontario?),where the Skunk Ape lives but look at this link. http.//www.bfro.net/images/lineupWeb v4 1231.jpg. This is exactly what you there keep seeing. Wrote by 12 year old. |
| EMMA= Thank you for the email. Keep believing. |

All the debunkers that I've come across never give credible evidence as to why it is fake; instead, many usually resort to name calling, ridicule, and other attemps to bully those who disagree with them. OTOH, there are many qualified experts in different fields who give cogent, sound reasons for the subject in the film being the real McCoy, not a man in a monkey suit. We've all gotten a good look at the subject, thanks largely to the efforts of MK Davis [and others as well]. The subject in the Patterson-Gimlin film is a Sasquatch. |
| Thank you Keith ,Emma |
| Name = Dylan R. Comments = that was a person in a costume of bigfoot.in 1967 three men rode out on horseback and brung a Bigfoot costume.the man that was in the costume even came on TV and said that he was in the costume you could even see the resemblance in how the person walked.in the Paterson film. Thank you Dylan, Emma |
| NOTE-There's another theory now that Patty was shot. That the hernia on her leg is really where a bullet went through. Check the video and report at Bigfoot Encounters. Go to the link page and click on bigfootencounters.com; then click on whats new. Interesting. I'm sure this is going to cause more controversy. |
| name = fred a. comments = absolutley legit no doubt the best footage of Bigfoot to date!!! Thanks Fred,Emma |

| I thought I'd show you an interesting map that suggest that there was two Pattys that day on the Roger Paterson film. This is the first time I've ever heard this mentioned and though I've watched the film on TV and the Internet I can't see it. Maybe you can. The map shows first sequence walk of Patty and camera person and then it shows second sequence walk of Patty and camera person???? You can find more information on Bigfoot Encounters if your interested. |
| name = jessica comments = i believe that the patterson film is real.big foot is out there in allot of different places around the world i also know about the bigfoot that lives in arizona the mogollon monster.bigfoot only comes out at night,never in the day time because, most sightings take place at night. Thank you for your input on Patty:Keep believeing. |
| subject = Current TV Show comments = TV SHOW: In Search Of Bigfoot - I hate to say it but WHAT A JOKE! In every episode in EVERY SINGLE PLACE THEY GO they have an encounter - but never follow up! Instead they leave for the next spot... ahhh too bad. I mean come on, if you were sure you saw a "squatch" as they call them - you'd be back the next day looking for evidence such as foot prints, hair etc... but NEVER have they done this. The show is a full on farce in my opinion. Plus the lead guy - I don't care how long he's been doing this he's making factual statements when he has no facts! I cracked up laughing at the latest episode where said Florida Skunk Apes live in gator holes that's why they smell the way they do... Sorry pal, you cannot say where they live until you can factually prove it and you OBVIOUSLY do not care about proving it because you skip doing any follow up several times per show... "Yep it was a squatch" but of course we're not going to g! o look for any proof, just gotta take my word for it stupid TV viewers! LOL Sorry I don't buy the whole show as being legit... and if it is they sure aren't very good at their jobs! Thanks Mike. This isn't about Patty but wanted to log it on anyway. If you missed the show it was on Sunday night. The sightings by the witnesses were interesting.both in North Florida and the Seminole people. I have to agree with Mike about the show, maybe it will get better as they go. |
| name = Javs comments = Sasquatch and yeti are an extremely distant cousin to the neanderthal man who once inhabited earth.The sasqutch and yeti are not of earth, but hav bin bought to our planet by the celestial beings of light for survival purposes.They are closely watched over and guarded by the celestials and will one day disappear again from our planet. It simply appears that the earth is conducive for their particular needs for survival and have been temporarily placed here until their needs are fulfilled. These beings are not animals but are primitive beings from distant star systems.They are extrmely intelligent and simply know they cannot mingle with the earth people.Their fur covering is protected by sulphur smelling oils so as to sheild them from preying animals and hunters. They are extremely tall strong fast and elusive and communicate to one another mentally and with their barks and howling sounds. Eventually they will be taken off our planet by the celestials of light. When this happens , They will be taken to a new planetary system similar to earth s where they will thrive and prosper. Be aware that these beings can survive on habitable planets which would be extremely harsh, cold and severe to man. They are excellent miners and naturalists! Thanks Javs for your input.Emma |
| name = Mike B. comments = Its about time we put this debate to bed, its a Bigfoot ! live with it, after numerous attempts and Scientific Analysis the Film has never been shown to be a Hoax, so the only possible conclusion is, its a Bigfoot, To Paraphrase Sherlock Holmes "When all possibilties have been tested and dicarded, the one that your left with , however unlikely is the Truth" Thanks Mike.

| name = Wendy comments = I beleive they exist, why are we surprise? They discover many new life species all the time. Thanks Wendy,I agree. |
