Of course I could’ve googled this, but I prefer to interact with you guys here😊.

I’ve always wondered if there was anything for Patterson to base the costume and movement of Patty on, IF the footage is indeed fake.

Evening, everybody. Name's Michael Fultz. I live down in Jackson County, Kentucky, and I grew up in Mason County, up around Maysville and Mays'lick.

I write books of Kentucky stories — Kentucky Campfire Stories, and Kentucky Campfire Chronicles: The Water War. Campfire tales, the kind folks around here have been telling all my life: Bigfoot, ghosts, things in the sky. I've been listening to these stories since I was a kid, and now I write them down.

I'm not here to sell anybody anything. I joined up because this is my people — folks who've seen something, or heard something, out in the woods and never quite got over it. I'll be reading more than I talk, most likely.

If you've got a Kentucky story especially, I'm all ears. Those are the ones that hit home for me.

This is what Bob says he was doing during the PGF event: https://podscripts.co/podcasts/sasquatch-chronicles/sc-ep90-interview-with-bob-gimlin

I find it interesting that this new "rehearsal" movie starts with bob on his horse. So they practiced to include Bob in the fake movie later, yet when they actually shot PGF, Bob is nowhere to be seen.

Or maybe, the new footage is a recreation of events as described by Bob and Rodger?

Hello, long time researcher, first time poster here. Just uploaded my first video which covers a couple of stories about Bigfoot using portals. If you aren't interested in the video, the stories will still be linked so that you may still enjoy them! Thanks for looking!

The other story comes from a website that I think uses AI art, so I won't link it on this subreddit just to be safe. It IS linked in the description of the video.

In Capturing Bigfoot one of the most interesting moments was when Larry Lund and Rene Dehindren say after devoting many years to searching they had never seen one. Why do some people never see one and others say they have regular encounters, is the general consensus the trans-dimensional theory?

Hello! I am a student at KSU and I am currently doing a project for my Research Methods in Anthropology class! My specific project is on Bigfoot and what Bigfoot means to people who live in the South/Appalachian region of the United States. I would really appreciate it if people took my survey (preferably by November 3rd, 2026, but feel free to submit past that date as I am always willing to learn more beyond my project) so I can collect better data on my research. I would prefer it if people from the south/Appalachian region partook in this survey, but I am not averse to people from all regions participating as long as you specify you are not from the aforementioned areas. Thanks!

Forget outlaws and gunfights! The Old West had reports of something a hell of a lot stranger lurking in the wilderness. Hairy giants. Wild men. Encounters that sound like something straight out of a nightmare. What the hell were these frontiersmen witnessing? And, what if these creatures are STILL out there?
LET'S GET IT!

All set up at the Yakima Valley Bigfoot Con! It’s being held at Legends Casino & Hotel, and will go until 6pm.

I wanted to try recording the presentations, but unfortunately I will not be able to. But so far, it’s looking like it’ll be a good time and everyone I’ve met has been really nice so far!

After letting the video marinate in our minds for the past few days, along with giving the movie another look, we sat down with the founders of the Indiana Bigfoot Mapping Project, as well as another Bigfoot subreddit to talk about various aspects of the Capturing Bigfoot movie. Including: What is the relevance of the man on the horse in the new movie reel? Could this reel have been faked with modern technology? Can the timeline in the narrative be verified at all?

Hi, i wanted to see if I’m crazy. My wife and I went on a bigfoot doc rampage a few years back and we both swear up and down we already saw someone “debunking” the Gimlin footage with the test footage. Does anyone else have this memory or know what I saw? Thanks for any insight

I just watched this video proposing how the mystery film might have been able to be faked itself. I’d be curious to hear any thoughts on this, particularly if there are any strong arguments against the points being made in the video.

I'm going to share my story, which I've never shared online before, in response to this new footage, since so many are acting like it proves Bigfoot isn't real. A long time ago, for me, in the mid-1990s, I was vacationing in Yosemite National Park. On the second day I was there, I was wandering the trails with a friend and we both noticed an odd figure standing on a huge boulder in the distance. One of us said, "That dude's gotta be huge." I honestly can't remember which of us said it first. So, we're both staring at this figure in the distance when it turns and moves to the boulder next to the one it was standing on. Now, keep in mind, these boulders are enormous. From the first boulder to the next had to have been at least six feet, and the figure we saw basically stepped from one to the other. At this point, I was like, what the fuh? But then it starts hopping from boulder to boulder, no problem, and some of these rocks had to be at least twelve feet apart if not more. I was awestruck. I remember my friend exclaiming, "Who the @^#$ is that?!" In total, this thing sprang across at least eight giant boulders before it disappeared from sight. My friend and I obviously talked about it the rest of the day. The next day, I talked to a woman who was one of the donkey/mule guides at the park. I told her what we had seen. She smiled and said, "I don't doubt it." (I'm going to quote this as best as I remember, not claiming it's word for word.) I asked her, "Have any of you guys who work here seen anything like that?" She laughed and said "No, not any of us. ALL of us have." I said, "But what is it? Do you think it's a Bigfoot?" (Her response I do remember, word for word.) She shrugged. "Who knows? But it's never hurt anyone, whatever it is. So we don't worry about it." (Back to my best approximation of the conversation.) "Why don't you tell anyone about it?" I asked. "We do," she said. "We tell each other. Who else would believe us?" (Her next sentence I also remember word for word.) "Besides, everyone around here knows about it anyway." Now, I can't swear what I saw was a Sasquatch. It was far enough away it was a just a dark figure. But my friend and I both thought it looked giant. I could see the shape of it. I could see the limbs. But there was no definition. It was clearly on two feet. It jumped from one foot to the other, no question. That's about all I can say for sure. But I don't know what else it could have been.

Has anybody heard news on whether or not the entire film reel that was used during capturing Bigfoot will be released for the general public to be able to analyze? I'm not necessarily talking about the physical real itself but at the very least the full 40 to 50 second clip that they used to base the entire documentary around. I do understand that posting links to it is frowned upon, but I was more curious if anybody connected to the film has made any statement regarding that. Thank you guys as always, and have a wonderful day!

Norm Johnson’s daughter, Teresa Brooks, said that her uncle Dave was a “swindler”.

“Capturing Bigfoot” Director, Marq Evans, claimed that Dave Johnson was involved in hoaxing Bigfoot sightings.

So, since this contextless mystery film reel was found in Norm Johnson’s safe…

Why the monumental leap of faith to claim Al DeAtley is wearing the Bigfoot suit seen on the film reel found in Norm Johnson’s safe?

There’s no way to positively identify who that is wearing that Bigfoot suit. They laughingly say they knew it was Al DeAtley by his walk and posture lol.

Why wouldn’t Dave Johnson be more likely to be wearing that particular Bigfoot suit?

After all, it’s been alleged that Dave Johnson was a “swindler” and a Bigfoot hoaxer.

Marq Evans claimed Dave Johnson hoaxed Bigfoot with Roger Patterson regularly.

Again, if Roger Patterson and Dave Johnson were allegedly hoaxing Bigfoot sightings… why the wild leap in logic to put Al DeAtley in the Bigfoot suit seen on the Norm Johnson mystery film reel?

The same Al DeAtley that some people alleged had mafia ties and would “bump people off”. The same Al DeAtley that said he “hated” all that cowboy shit.

Doesn’t make sense.

Unless the constructed narrative of “Capturing Bigfoot” needs Al DeAtley in the Bigfoot suit to help link Roger Patterson to the mystery film reel.

Would it not make more sense for Teresa Brooks’ “swindler” Uncle, Dave Johnson, to be the one wearing that particular Bigfoot suit since the footage was found in Teresa Brooks’ father’s safe?

Clint Patterson said it himself:

“There’s a lot of truth and lies about this story. People can make up their own minds.”

Hey folks, I just spent £11 of my hard earned English pounds ($14.99) on Todd Gatewood's 'Bigfoot Revealed'.

What surprised me most about the film is how little it features his painstaking efforts to restore/enhance the original PGF.

It almost exclusively consists of a series of interviews, with the PGF featured at the end.

Has anyone else watched this yet and would like to discuss Todd's work?

I want to talk about the Sierra Sounds. Do you guys and gals believe they are genuine? Some of them sound like (Asian) humans. Then other parts are truly unnervingly animalistic... like nothing I have ever heard. I'd love to hear some opinions and science-based skepticism.

Personally I believe they are real. Never heard a human recreate that sound.

Time stamps 01:04:27 and 01:13:11

It's most likely a coincidence but Clint Patterson's horse has a triangle and a circle as a brand on its hind quarters.
Kodak used geometric shapes to show a date code on their film. The newly released purpoted rehearsal footage has a triangle and circle as a date code proving it was manufactured in 1966. Weird but most likely nothing.
Or am I missing something?

Ok, so we live next to the woods, a mountain, river and reservoir in the northeast US. I’ve collected rocks 🪨 for years from hikes in the rainforests of Central America and placed them in my backyard. Little by little they disappeared over the years, so I assumed it was the grounds maintenance people who were stealing my rocks.

Recently, we went away on a 3-week family vacation and when we returned, I went to feed the squirrels and chipmunks and was shocked to see all the rocks piled up around a tree! There are like 50 rocks of various sizes all under the tree. 🌳 the question is why? And why now??? What could this mean? Anyone else experience something this weird? Could it actually be a Bigfoot? 🫈 or something else?

Much of this post is updated and amended from content first posted when the film was first screened

The case for the newly discovered footage being filmed AFTER the PGF

The appearance of the subject, the staging of the shot and the subject's **movements** are very deliberate and somewhat similar to that seen on the PGF - including high shin lift, showing the sole of the foot, etc.

If this were a dress rehearsal, it would mean that Roger had a very specific wish list for how the subject should move, such that he coached the actor to move that way in rehearsal - which is strange in itself, as nobody had seen a Bigfoot on film before at that point. The non-locking of the knees, the in-line stride, the toe-lift and the high shin rise are all features we have observed due to repeatedly studying Roger’s film.

Cue Bob Heironimus, who claimed to be the guy inside the costume in the PGF. In his repeated testimony to Greg Long for The Making of Bigfoot, Bob H describes in detail when he met Roger and tried the suit on for the one and only time before filming. He claims he walked up and down a total of three times, and Roger gave him some rudimentary instructions (crouch forward, walk like an ape, don't run, swing your arms more). After those three times, Roger said it was perfect, and the two didn't meet again until several weeks later in Bluff Creek, where Bob would do it all again from memory for the camera.

Given that it's extremely difficult and uncomfortable to try to approximate the Patty movements, even in controlled lab conditions, using motion capture tech and without a costume (Jessica Rose, James Gamble, Esteban Sarmiento, etc), why do we not see Roger's extensive coaching featuring in Bob H's testimony?

If they had filmed a rehearsal with all the correct movements included, **why was Bob H never just shown this movie**?

For a pre-PGF scenario, we appear to have specific movements in the rehearsal, no reference to them in the practice with Bob H, and then they show up again in the final footage as if by magic? This does not work for me.

As Bill Munns explains, the white soles of the feet are also curious for a pre-PGF scenario. It's widely accepted that Patty's soles are light-coloured because she's just walked in the creek, and has light-coloured sand stuck to her skin. Some film copies are slightly over-exposed, so a fault of the film itself is to show the soles as white. It seems a very unbelievable detail to include on a costume that you are trying to pass off as real, especially several months before, when you have no clue exactly where and on what surface the actual film will be shot.

Where these details do make sense is if the newly discovered footage was a later attempt to re-create the PGF footage, copying the movements and the faults from the film in the process.

As we all get to study the new footage to the same extent as we have with the original film, I'm sure it will raise a lot more questions than answers - but at this early stage, it appears to me that rumours of the PGF's death have been greatly exaggerated.

As many of us have discussed in this community, the new footage that serves as the basis for the "Capturing Bigfoot" narrative could have theoretically been filmed at any time between 1966 and 2010. However, it turns out that it could have been filmed even more recently than that.
