Cryptids USA: It’s a Cryptid World Out There
So, is it a hoax or is this the real deal?
When observed in detail the Patterson Footage raises many questions. Some are easily explained, while others are more difficult to bring to a dead end. In the Patterson Footage, the specimen shows incredible detail in muscle structure and fat. This brought Hollywood to attempt to re-create this famous scene. They failed miserabley. The hollywood recreation is shown below.
Holllywood's Embarrasing Recreation
Obviously, this recreation does not resemble the frame from the Patterson Footage at all! No muscle detail is visible, due to the simple fact that it is a constume! People, despite this, still doubt the Patterson Footage's authenticity. Let us explore it in even more depth.
One issue that people seem to bring up regarding the Patterson Footage is the creature’s feet. When it is walking towards the edge of the continuation of the forest, it lifts its feet, where you can see a beige, white color. Many people speculate that the bottom sides of the feet were actually boot bottoms, strengthening the possibility of this being a hoax. This is wrong. When the creature lifts its feet, all that can be seen is a beige, white color, nothing more. And hello people! How about our feet? When we lift them, do we not have a similar color? There is no evidence which supports the boot theory, or should I say idea. Also, the sun was actually shinning a bit, so it’s hard to tell. Once again, an idea for debunking the Patterson Footage has been put to rest.
Seven years after filming the famous footage, Rodger Patterson passed away due to cancer. Yet, there was another witness. Robert Gimlin. He too saw the female “primate” and until this day, remains firm on his belief that what he saw was real and was not a hoax. People say that Gimlin did it for the fame, which in turn would bring in wealth. The fact is that Gimlin did not receive wealth, and is in fact frowned upon by many people. Even so, he still remains strong to his belief! Why would one man risk so much: because what he saw was real.
I spoke with Bob Gimlin, and will interview him in a few weeks. I told him how fond I was of his footage, etc., and he thanked me and was truly grateful. This man is telling the truth. There really is something out there, but until a body is found, Bigfoot will remain a mystery to us all...
