Pattersons Bigfoot Exposed?

hope that link works.. 

An interesting article. I do recall seeing part of that X-Creatures show on Discovery and thought the suit they made was really not very similar at all to the Patti suit/creature. I don't think it's fair to make a modern suit in any case and try to compare it to the suit/creature in the film. If it is a suit, it appears to be very well made, and not your typical costume shop gorilla outfit. When one considers the limited suit technology of 1967, it's a pretty impressive looking critter!

Sometimes I still wish it was the 70s and I unquestioningly believed in Bigfoot, mothman, flying saucers, ESP, ghosts... whatever was in "in Search Of..." that week.

Well, one consolation (in a current show) is a newer TV show like Animal Planets' RIVER MONSTERS. It features authentic, rarely seen water beasties that actually do exist- chased down, caught and shown live on the show. There are some surprisingly nasty critters that have been featured, and they actually exist (I find real-life "monsters" scarier than the made up ones, anyway).

The new SWAMP PEOPLE show (starring real life, inbred Louisiana swamp folk/ 'gator hunters) is pretty interesting, too. Some of those big alligators are pretty monsterous, and really, I'd rather run into a 10 foot Bigfoot in the swamp than a 15 foot 'gator any day of the week.

I forget the show(possibly Monsterquest?), but there was a segment on monstrously large Catfish, that are caught by hand. I guess it's called "Noodlin'". Catfish that size frighten me!

Unless, of course, they're lightly breaded, fried, and sitting on a plate next to some hot cocktail sauce. Then they would fear US.

I like MONSTERQUEST, too. in general, they put together a pretty good hour show. Sometimes the evidence is pretty speculative and content fluffed out to fill time, but I've seen some good episodes.

My post was worded strangely.  I wasn't refering to the Patterson film but the story which was released a year ago or so.  A man (I think he was a police officer)  said he knew where a group of Bigfoots lived and he had a dead body and a picture of the body in a large cooler.  One researcher said he had seen the body for himself when in fact he hadn't.  A press conference was scheduled where they would reveal their findings.  This story gained much attention and was shown on a few TV news shows which normally don't cover those types of stories.  

The whole story fell apart when it was revealed to be a hoax and the picture was of a costume and a rubber mask.  

Whoever came up with the story did a good job of gaining publicity.  

EDIT:  Here is a link to the story I was talking about.

We were discussing this story on the Disney forum as it was evolving.  I didn't believe it and when it turned out to be a hoax I posted a link to an article stating it was a hoax.  That's when ther girl replied that when she told her mother it was a hoax her mother said, "really bad words."

At the moment in the U.K they are showing a series called Ancient aliens and believe me if you needed proof that we were ever visited then this series is for you. from the beginning of time right up to the modern age it is all covered and the proof is extraordinary.

P.S I love the Bigfoot footage

I remember that, Judd. Seemed like they dragged it out for a couple of weeks before the whole thing fell apart.
