Bigfoot: The Patterson Gimlin Film - Part 5

The Bigfoot threads are almost extinct it seems. I thought I'd pop in the remaining Bigfoot thread to let everyone know (if you didn't already) that Melba Ketchum is seeking funding for another Bigfoot DNA project. Benjamin Radford did an article about Melba's new fund raising. Ben appeared on Squatch-D TV this past Sunday if anyone's interested. It was a fun show and he's always a great guest.
 
She has a website called The Sasquatch Genome Project.

There is a blurb about her DNA paper being accepted by a new journal. It's a muddled statement, but she says she had to buy the journal in order for her paper to be published.

The journal, DeNovo, has two articles. Her bigfoot DNA paper, and another one about 12,000 year old human remains that she also wrote. The first was a decade ago and the second a year later.

So I gather the peer review process at this journal takes a long time now.
 
From what I understand, nobody would publish her findings so she bought an online journal and published them herself. Just a bit of deception to claim you're published when it's your own journal IMO.

The new effort is fund raising for testing of Bigfoot DNA once again. Too much baggage IMO for Melba to be in the same game again.

At this point engaging these people, or even just devoting a shred of your scant headspace to the big guy and his reality or not, is something between beating a dead horse or kicking a puppy; pulling the wings off a fly, sure...but in this video https://youtu.be/rlLVht06C0U?t=220 So-called ThinkerThunker debunks himself by showing a frame from a D2V bigfoot movie called "Bigfoot: The Unforgettable Encounter" where we see the suit they used has the same diaper butt we've all been talking about and separation where the pants of the suit aren't attached to the costume.

Here's a side by side comparison with the scene from the 90's movie flipped:https://imgflip.com/i/7rvvzv

Natch, TT does his thing with the lines, but who does he even think he's fooling? You can plainly see Patty's elbow hits the top of "her" hip, just like everyone else's, except this girl I used to date.

I see in the film three "lines" of fur shadow marks (1. around the waist, 2. the line between pelvic area and thigh, and 3. a third across the mid thigh itself) any of which can be argued as a "seam" of a suit, but no professional suitmaker would ever put obvious seams in all three places in one suit. To argue all are seams makes no sense."

And yet, here's just that.

I don't quite get what motivates people to lie like that. I mean, sure, not every word I've ever said has been the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but, I tend to fess up rather than die with my lie past the point I'm just embarrassing myself and insulting the person I'm lying to.

Patty's legs aren't attached to her upper body, and shows every sign of being built on the same pattern as a suit from a later movie.
 
He did say no professional suit maker would do that, but an amateur hoaxers might.

It was made to be seen only from a safe distance and took decades to be debunked. Hell, some still want to believe it's out there.
 
Being able to view the PGF on demand (such as YouTube) really helped it's popularity. You can pause, rewind and enlarge whenever you want to.
 
My dad took the family to see the Bigfoot movie when it was in theatres. He kinda believed in old indian tricks, rod divining and other non miraculous stuff but he wasn't a footie as I knew.

The P/G film wasn't very old by then and every paranormal woo slinger on TV replayed it endlessly on every program.
But despite so much exposure it wasn't frame by frame.
They buried thought processes in plaster castings of footprints, dark tiny shacks full of woodsman gear and some evidence of some sort found by an experienced outdoors type guy.

But, mainly blurry pictures of unknown source, hair that needs expert tests and plaster castings of huge footprints.

Clearly not ignored but rather buried in drama, testimony and a big dog and pony show to distract from no real evidence.
