BIGFOOT ON FILM

Films and Video Nothing makes more of an instant impact then Sasquatch caught on Film. There have been many films, as you will see. However, no other film has yet to make a lasting impression on pop culture, like the 1967 Film Footage taken at Bluff Creek, CA. (More on that below)

Patterson Gimlin Film, October 20, 1967:

While riding horseback in Six Rivers National Forest, Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin, capture on film a large, upright, hairy creature; as the round a bend on a sandbar at Bluff Creek, California. After being tossed of his rearing Welsh pony, he grabbed his camera ( a rental) and secrured 24 feet of color 16mm film.

After a three mile chase, Patterson and Gimlin lost the creature in the heavy brush. They also casted tracks, 14.5 inches long, 6 inches wide, that were impressed in sandy clay soil. What we have now is 952 frames of colored film, and 40 years of controversay.
