Sorry but I vote both are hoax's. Im not saying Big Foot doesnt exist but the first pic was taken when the guy went searching for Big Foot. So he faked it. The second pic was taken after shopping at a costume store.

Well I vote Patterson couldn't have created a suit in 1967 with this much muscle movement...

Right shoulder blade...



Right hamstring...



And with breasts...

Phiew, thats a relief. I thought I was the only one noticing those damn big hooters on our fury friend.

I might be mistaken but doesn't a primates arms swing on the same side as the leading leg?You know,right foot forward,right arm forward,left foot forward,left arm forward.And look at the proportions,the arms seem to be wrong,meaning to short for a primate.I vote that they are both hoax's as well.But I could be wrong.

who says bigfoot has to have long arms ;o maybe hes the missing link haha.

If you read the original post, you will see that one of the photos is a recreation. READD!!! ARGHH!

And this would be universal of ALL primates? You do know that humans are primates.....right? Do we walk like a chimp or gorilla? An unknown species of primate could defy all our logic. Just my 2 cents....too much muscle movement to be a hoax in my opinion. Especially since today with all our special effects, we can't still make a good enough costume to match this one? Have you seen the new Star Wars film.....if so, did the wookies have that much muscle movement?.......NO. Not specifically directed at you bargaindan.

edit: spelling...again argh...lol

I believe the photo on the left is real. I do not believe the crap on tv that says the guy admited it was fake.

The guy musta had babies with it or something and just doesnt want people knowing.

The movement of the "being" on the patterson film is too fluid and natural to be faked...and why go to all the bother of putting fake hooters on the damn thing!!!

Its all to natural to be faked...all the other trys at faking it are just insults.
This short home movie is the only proof we have that man stills exists in his former state,that of GIGANTIPITHICUS, before he changed to homo sapien as we are today.

It should be treated as an amazing and influencial archeological discovery and not the butt of a few weak jokes and piss takes by people with little imagination and even fewer brain cells.

Is it so hard to believe that in the untouched regions of the earth man can still exist in genetically anterior form??
If the CELEOCANTH can still exist 60 million years after the "experts" said it had died a death why cant man equally survive in his former state.
What will it take before some people wke up to the facts that we no very little of the planet and universe we live in.

What would you do one morning if you awoke to find Mr Bigfoot crapping on your lawn and breaking your dog in two with his or her bare hands??
Shout " Hey !! you there, guy in the suit, what the hell did yah do with my newspaper"

I never really thought about the muscles. Good point there, it look very convincing...

So he faked it because he was looking for it. That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard in my entire life (no exaggeration).

Wow calm down. I say he faked it because I have met Big Foot. His name is Harry & he looks nothing like either photo.

Hmmm. I watched a TV show late last year on the Patterson film. In it, the had a man that claimed to be the guy in the big foot suit. He even demonstrated the walk. His gate matched pretty close to what the patterson film shows.

I think there is enough wilderness in America to support animals we dont know about, but I think the Patterson footage was faked. As stated above, it WAS released during the Planet of the Apes craze tha swept the nation at the time.

I saw the same show and I think that guy that claims it is an idiot personally. Me and my mates were watching, and as soon as it finished we found that it is not hard to match Pattys gate. Its pretty darn easy.

If I havnt misread, you are implying that maybe it was an overzealous fan or maybe a publicity stunt for Planet of the Apes. That is absurd. If it was a publicity stunt, they would have used the 'suit' in the movies. If it was a fan, he would get in contact and show them his great suit.

Not to be disrespectful, but Harry? So it talks yeah? Could you please post some more info or a drawing or something. Make a seperate thread if you want. I dont beleive you, but I may if you give ALOT more info.

Yeah, its easy to copy.....If you are 6'10" and 210 lb's, as was the gentelmen on the show I watched. Not to many people like that. Also, his gate measured over a whopping four feet between steps. Im sorry, but I cant copy that and mak it look like the patterson vid and I am 6'2 and 200 lb's. It also wasnt just his steps. It was the arm swing, the back movement, and hip placement. All these things matched to the Patterson video.

Um.. no on both. I am a HUGE Starwars nut. I have built countless models and other various coustumes and such. I have not ONCE contacted Lucas to see if he likes my stuff


Oh, also, as far as the 'Harry' bigfoot. Do a search on Harry and the Hendersons. You might find it was in reference to a movie.

Well back then, people probably got excited about all manner of worthless crap. And if you made a better vrsion of a suit in Star Wars you would be pleases and probably show it to loads of people.

With the gait thing, I can do the arms and the leg movement, but of course I cant do the muscle/hip/shoulder thing.

Theres one thing that points to that guy being a craphead- no suit!! Patterson didnt have the suit, neither did Gimilin and neither did the supposed 'Bigfoot' guy. Now someone must have kept it, they wouldnt throw it away!! And a massive suit isnt paticulary easy to hise away from people.

One more thing, loads of people have claimed to be the guy in the suit, none have any proof except their friends said so.

If you said that you had an alien in your wardrobe, no sane person would beleive ou. Why are you beleiving this guy?

EDIT- If he was referring to Harry and the Hendersons then, grow up.

His real name isnt Harry, he just went by that name. His name is Kevin Peter Hall. Extremly nice guy, I met him in 1988 when he was a guest celebrity at an evernt I was at. Since then he has passed. I met his wife too & was a fan of hers since a kid, since she was on Seseme Street. Very nice lady also.










The main reason I say its fake is because the video was made to be real. There are very few big foot sighting & if your looking for it & find it. That means you want it too bad.
