I know folks pick that Patterson/Gimlin film apart frame by frame and some of it gets way over my head.
But I still say there is something there. That walk don't look like a guy clowning around in a suit to me. The shoulders, the way the arms swing, and how it just keeps moving like it knows where it is going. I have watched it plenty of times and I don't get the feeling I am looking at some cheap monster getup.
Could somebody have faked it back then, maybe. People fake all kinds of things. But that one has had a lot of years for somebody to show the suit, show the man inside it, or explain it clean. Never really happens. Just more talking.
I ain't saying every Bigfoot story is true. A lot of them probably ain't. But that film is one of the reasons I still believe there is something out in those woods we have not got pinned down yet.
Maybe I am wrong, but I do not think Patty was just some fella in a monkey suit.
