Where's Waldo the Bigfoot? Can you find Big Waldo hiding behind a big redwood tree above? No?
WBTC supports the legal efforts of California resident Claudia Ackley and documentary filmmaker Todd Standing to force California to legally recognize that Bigfoot or Sasquatch (aka Yeti) is real and very alive in California. The 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film (taken in Humboldt County in Northern Calif; see inset to left of female Bigfoot with large, swinging, hair-covered breasts, rippling leg muscles under uneven fur, untinted lips under a bulbous nose, with a natural--yet nonhuman--gait) is enough evidence alone, but, add to that the hordes of footprint, handprint, fingerprint and faceprint evidence (with dermal ridges, toes that change with each step, and an 800-pound pressure point; experts again say unknown primate), hair and blood samples with DNA evidence that tests as "almost" human, numerous photos and motion pictures, numerous handmade nests with materials woven together, half ton trees inserted upside down in the ground to mark territory, hundreds to thousands of eye-witnesses including police and game officers dating back many generations, many voice and howl recordings (again, experts say its an unknown primate that emits super low-frequency howls), hundreds of Native American accounts and tribal names from most of the tribes of North America, and you have more evidence than is normally needed for a capital murder conviction in America. The unbelievers are simply ignorant and uniformed, and not very open-minded, like a few of my dear friends. Scientists don't know it all. Scientists are not gods.
Coelacanths were well known from the fossil records of 400 million to 70 million years ago, when they went 'extinct' according to all the scientists. Their extinction was "common scientific knowledge" until 1938, when a live fish was caught off the coast of South Africa, and suddenly they were all proven wrong. Seventy million years is a long time to be unknown to science. Scientists are not gods. The saola (Pseudoryx nghetinhensis), or Asian Unicorn, is a large mammal in Vietnam that was totally unknown to science before 1992 when a carcass was discovered. Another was photographed by a trail cam in 1999. New mammal species! Scientists are not gods.
Critics of the Patterson film focus not on the video evidence, but on Patterson himself, as though that matters. They also assume that we had the technology in 1967 to make a female ape suit as seen in the film, which is highly questionable. If this was truly faked, he would have made a MALE creature, not a female with huge swinging breasts. Silicon breast implant technology was in its infancy in 1967 and could not have created such large, natural breasts. The Bigfoot's fur is uneven and not all the same color, reflecting sunshine like my black cat with light and dark hues that shift in the sunlight. Not what you would get with a low-budget, late 60s costume. The pads on her feet look so natural...
One uninformed TV critic said Patterson just walked into a costume store (are costume stores real?) and rented it. How dumb can you get? He obviously was not alive in 1967 enjoying the benefits of 8-track stereo, as nothing like that existed back then. Even to this day, I have never seen a big-bouncy-boobed female Bigfoot costume for rent, not even for Halloween. They still do not make big-boobed female Bigfoot suits (you would risk getting shot by an armed hunter claiming Second Amendment rights for one; in Texas they passed a law allowing the killing of the 'not real' Bigfoot, just in case...). Rental costumes? Yet another funny, furry, fantastic fantasy. Get real. Some of these ideas are more crazy than Bigfoot himself, and herself...
One Hollywood special effects creator, now deceased, claimed to have made the 'Patterson Bigfoot costume,' but he not could provide even a shred of evidence to back his egotistic claim, and his fellow SE creators all said he was lying and not capable of making such a suit in 1967. Nobody could. Planet of the Apes, with realistic ape heads (still no body suits) made by Hollywood professionals placed onto human bodies and a hefty $5.8 million budget to fund it all, did not appear until 1968, the next year. Technology was still pretty primitive. Not only was there no Facebook or cell phones, we did not even have an internet... At all.
(We also were all listening to 8-track stereo tapes back then, the newest heights in modern music technology. Color televisions were becoming a big trend, replacing the standard B&W TV. We had not yet been to the moon. The Evening News with Walter Cronkite gave us the latest nightly body count from the Vietnam War to go with dinner. Cars used leaded gas that cost only 25 cents per gallon. It was over a half century ago, folks. Yes, I am old enough to remember, but not so old that I am feeble-minded...)
Also, a fake would not have filmed the Bigfoot turning around and looking at the camera; Just let it run away and avoid a complex face job or a controversial Bigfoot nipple slip (don't you wonder what color her nipples are? Inquiring minds want to know! Black on black? Do Black Bigfoot lives matter?). It can take hours of a make-up artist's time to create a single fake ape face. And tons of money and materials. Did they suit up and do the makeup out in the wilderness on site, or did they bring a guy already made up and dressed in a Bigfoot suit for an hour long horseback ride into the woods? Either idea is ridiculous. Making such a sophisticated fake suit in 1967 is more of a fantasy than the truth of a genuine Bigfoot walking away. A fake, for obvious reasons, would avoid a face shot and would never include big swinging boobs. Just NO. You wouldn't do that. It makes no sense, it is too difficult, and could reveal a fake. You could totally fake it without those aspects. No boobs, no turning around. This film is real.
Sightings of the Sasquatch and other Bigfoot creatures often appear in conjunction with UFO activity. This has some suggesting that the creatures are aliens. Or that they talk to aliens. Or that there are both real Bigfoot and aliens who appear as Bigfoot. More likely they are related to Gigantopithecus, a proven species of giant human-apes. But with their huge brain cavity, this species may be able to communicate with aliens or have more psychic powers than humans. Government whistleblowers say the government knows all about these creatures as well as are aware of 57 different alien species, so perhaps one or two aliens have made contact with the species. Bigfoot seem to have supernatural powers as well as cloaking abilities.
A graveyard of 300 Bigfoot creatures was uncovered in South America. When forensic reconstruction was done on a skull, the result looked exactly like the photos and eye witness accounts of Bigfoot. This species buries its dead in a cemetery.
There are many variants of the Sasquatch, with different heights, sizes and colors, usually brown to reddish to black. The Sasquatch of the Pacific Northwest seems more curious and will often leave or accept gifts. An apple, a mirror, a marble, a rattle would all make acceptable gifts if you intend to enter their territory. This may avoid the tree shaking, howling, and rock throwing attacks that might otherwise result. However, this species can be violent and deadly to humans, with many accounts from Siberia to Alaska to Tibet where this species killed humans that intruded into its territory. Since a mature male Bigfoot can reach 10 feet and weigh up to 1,200 pounds of rippling muscle, they can kill a human with a single blow or rip your arms off. Usually, though, they just run and hide.
The Patterson-Gimlin video is a real film of a real female Bigfoot. That Patterson was a long-time Bigfoot hunter is exactly why he managed to film one with his 16mm Cine Kodak movie camera. He was on horseback in a very remote, rural area with a loaded movie camera looking for many years for exactly what he finally found and filmed. Bluff Creek, CA is in a very rugged, mountainous, densely forested area of the million-acre Six Rivers National Forest. That area is almost totally uninhabited by any humans. If you were a mommy Bigfoot, then having a million acres of giant redwoods in a wild forest totally free of pesky humans would be a really safe and sane area to raise your cute but furry Bigfoot children, right? So Patterson went there, where locals frequently reported seeing numerous Bigfoots, or Bigfeet (what is the proper plural of the noun Bigfoot?)
Which begs the question, What is Truth? Is all truth relative? What if my truth is different than your truth?
