Someone did wear the gorrilla suit, but it prolly wasnt this guy. He probably is just trying to get famous.

What makes you think someone wore a suit? Its not that I dont agree with you, it is alot more likely that someone did, but I am curious as to what your reasoning is.

I thought a bunch of people proved it was fake?

Anyways, it just doesnt look real to me.

Well my dad wore a gorilla suit in Space Odessy 2001 i am not kidding.

I saw something on TV last year, a documentary about this and the guy showed the special shoes that he wore to make the prints and the suit that was worn in the film.

I have no idea what channel I was watching or the name of the show. sorry.

Thanks for your replies, I hadnt realized the film had been conclusively debunked. I guess I shall go a googling to see what I can find.

Weird, I already thought the footage had been debunked. Didn't the family reveal it was a hoax when the guy who made it died? It was part of his will to reveal this wasn't it?

No William not at all, this was only last year there abouts, maybe even earlier. I actually remember talking about it on here I think. Maybe I've just got terribly confused.

You're right on the money John...I thought the same thing, and I KNOW I read it in reputable news sources....

Thank you Gaz, so I'm not going crazy. I remember reading it in a couple of newspapers, I feel better now.

copying and pasting exactly what I said in another thread just a few down:

Here's proof...the guy ADMITTED it was a hoax.

This may have been responded to already, but I just skipped the rest of the posts to reply to this.

"the guy" who admitted it was a hoax, had absolutely nothing to do with the patterson-gimlin footage.

The one who admitted it was a hoax, said that some famous holywood makeup artist(the one responsible for Planet of the Apes) created the costume for bigfoot, and that he had some wooden footprints to make the tracks. There are two problems with this.

1) The make up artist admitted that he was probably the best in the business at that time; but also admitted he was not skilled enough to create anything like what would be needed for the Patterson-Gimlin film.

2) The wooden feet he produced to prove that he hoaxed the whole encounter, when compared to the plasters casts of the bigfoot footprints taken at the time of the film did not even come close to matching up.

So, that being said. I admit it, I am God. I have a buttcrack, and there are tree's outside. That's all the proof I need.

My argument holds about as much water as the guys who admitted he hoaxed bigfoot. Therefore you must send me half of your paycheck through paypal for the rest of your life, or prepare for a plague of locusts. After all there is no reason to not believe me!

The Stuff I read it wasnt really debunked, it was like everything else on the history channel, they only tell you the Story they are promoting, which was funny cause a month later they put one out saying it couldnt be fake because you can see the muscle movement in the legs, and how the great apes turn the bodies at the hips when turning you head stuff like that. History Loves to confuse =)

Tom Malone, a lawyer in Minneapolis, called us Friday on behalf of Bob Gimlin, associate of the now-dead Bigfoot filmmaker. "I'm authorized to tell you that nobody wore a gorilla suit or monkey suit and that Mr. Gimlin's position is that it's absolutely false and untrue."

~*~....sounds like.....

Clinton-Speak to me !
"...nobody wore a gorilla suit or monkey suit..."

Because, a certain Mr? Phillip Morris of N. Carolina, custom made a 'bigfoot suit' for $435.00 !! according to the story, and Heiron walked for $1000.oo.

Additionally...
"...(his) position is that it's absolutely false and untrue."

What? the hoax story or the suit claim or the movie? **sorta like the remark, 'what the definition of IS, is'

SHEEZE!! ?Phillip Morris, NC? suit fabricator?
(the first response which was easy to remember ->
a cigarette brand...in NC)....reeks of Fabrication to me, wot

First of all....If some guy claims he wore the suit.....where's the suit? I'm not going to believe that the film was debunked until I see the suit myself. It's like me saying....oh I saw a UFO....people say well show me the proof...pictures, a piece of the craft, etc. Well, show ME the proof that some guy wore a suit....specially when even the top guys in Hollywood say they can't even make a suit like that today.

How are the hoaxers explaining with the footprint casting the hair that is not DNA classifiable?
The workings of the foot has been explained from examination of foot casting, not human but the hair DNA has not been classified other than not human or known animal.

the pattern video is real.

the mussles moved, a person can NOT walk like it did (had dubbled henged knees) (was a female, noone can make the chest real even now adays)

and the dna sampling
