Holy crap! Did anybody record this?


Bob Gimlin at Ohio Bigfoot Conference

He told the story from start to finish, it was amazing to hear it from the horses mouth, no pun.

He said they were on their horses and came around this bend and there she was, 25feet away. Patterson saw it bent over in the creek and by the time Gimlin saw it it had stood up, turned around and started walking away. Patterson jumped off the horse and ran after her to shoot the footage. Gimlin said the horses didn't act worried, just normal. Patterson told Gimlin to run over behind her with his gun incase she charges. Frame 352 came from Gimlin jumping off his horse and she turned to see what it was. As she left Gimlin tracked her a few hundred feet until Patterson yelled to come back because he was worried there might be more and he only had his camera, no gun. Once he came back they got on the horses and tracked her 300 yards into the woods. They came back to the site, Patterson wanted to stay another 2weeks but Gimlin said he had to get back home. He told some stories and answered some questions.

Gimlin opens his mouth to the local newspaper ...

"Roger Patterson and I were friends. We had, in our younger years, rodeoed together," he said.

"Coming around the bend there was a downfall tree ... that caused the creek to reroute itself and go around there. When we came around the bend in the creek this creature stood across the creek. It was standing when I saw it. It may have been stooped down when Roger saw it. It immediately turned and started walking away, taking natural looking steps."

Patterson quickly dismounted his horse, grabbed his camera and ran after the creature. At one point he fell to his elbows, regained his balance and shot the minute's worth of film.

At one point Patterson yelled for Gimlin to "cover him." Gimlin dismounted and brandished his Remington .30-06 rifle.

"That's where you see that famous turn," he said, "when I stepped down off that horse."

Again Gimlin says that Roger fell to his elbows.

While watching that, I just had the feeling that at any time his head would lift off and rotate.
 
Repost from BFF...

I have contacted Morton Kunstler's representatives to inform them of the forged copy of his Bigfoot piece that Roger Patterson put in his 1966 book. Here is the exchange so far (edited for privacy)...

My email:

To Morton Kunstler and/or his representatives:

I am a writer currently working on a documentary film project about the people who search for Bigfoot. One of the central figures is a man, now deceased, named Roger Patterson. Mr. Patterson is widely known for the Patterson-Gimlin film from 1967 that shows an alleged female Bigfoot. The year before in 1966 Mr. Patterson authored a book entitled Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist? which contains a forged copy drawn by Patterson of the Bigfoot illustration created my Mr. Kunstler and featured in a March 1960 edition of True magazine. As I understand, the original has been sold but copies of his Bigfoot piece sell for $599 - $895, depending on the size. The copied version as it appears in Mr. Patterson's book can be seen here...

The book is currently on sale under the title The Bigfoot Film Controversy and can be seen here...

http://www.amazon.com/Bigfoot-Film-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1274243623&sr=1-1

I thought that it is important that this come to your attention.

Kind regards,

P.S. - I love Mr. Kunstler's work. All the best to him.

Their response:

Thank you for your interest and for writing to us. We appreciate you concern and letting us know. Please, could you assist us by telling us where we may find these copies being sold? We would like to look into this a bit more.
Many thanks.

My response:

The book is being sold by Hancockhouse Publishers. Please look at the following link...

I saw that post earlier on BFF and now it's gone. Are they moving or deleting posts?

I was told it was made invisible and that the BFF needs to consult their attorney. I asked if it had something to do with the possibility of the BFF being held culpable for defamation. I haven't had an answer yet, but I'm sure I will soon. I think the admins are just covering their bases to make sure they are OK. Because the book is still for sale in the form of The Bigfoot Film Controversy, and Patterson obviously copied Kunstler's work, Kunstler's reps are now looking into. I'm sure someone will be contacting Hancock House and Chris Murphy soon.

Patterson secretly wanted to be submissive to a Bigfoot? :D

Larry Battson is screwy. Everytime I check out him talking about Bigfoot I think you've got it bad. He engages in full Bigfoot apologism with gusto.

I got an email. This guy tells me he saw Bigfoot. He raises his shotgun to let that Bigfoot have it, that Bigfoot takes a step towards him, and his knees turn to jelly.

This other guy, he's got a horse trough. If he runs out of horse feed, those Bigfoots bang on his house and scream like crazy. He makes sure that sucker is stocked up.

This other time, this guy sees this Bigfoot behind a tree outside his cabin. He decides to shoot the tree to scare it away. Oops, he shot it in the face, it drops like a rock. Two seconds later this other one shows up, threw that thing up over its shoulder, and disappears in the woods.

Mr. Animal Guy, you tell good foo foo.

The US Government again gives Larry Battson the microphone to talk about Bigfoot.

From Kit's link: "Here's where it got really weird."

So this guy is a USFWS employee who tells bigfoot stories? Nice. The training center in Shepherdstown is the big time for anyone with a wildlifey presentation. I sincerely hope Mr. Battson's presentation at some point promotes critical thinking, otherwise this would seem to be an embarrassment for the USFWS.
 
Bill Munns says there is a "camera stop/start" at frames 193 & 234. If true, this means the camera was intentionally or accidentally stopped and restarted twice during the Patty walk.

Is there anything that could happen during editing, such as splicing, cutting, that could be mistaken for a "camera stop/start" ?

Did Bill notice that the subject was in the same place before and after the stop/starts? or was the subject in a different location?
