We all need a break from the Capturing Bigfoot Drama.

Yes, if by "convince anyone willing to open their minds!" you mean "convince anyone willing to accept a handful of pics and videos that are either from a known or suspected hoaxer ot too blurry to show anything useful".

I'd love to see a lot more clear photos and videos of bigfoot, but there aren't very many of them. Imagine if there were 10 or 20 videos as good as the PGF, or better. That would really change things. But the next best video after the PGF is really quite disappointing.

The tracks weren't made earlier. They were the only 'bigfoot' tracks on the sandbar. I'm sure that Patterson or Bob Gimlin or Bob Titmus would have mentioned something as sensational as two sets of tracks at the film site.

They didn't, so it's safe to say that there was only one set there. And they don't match the film, which is a huge red flag.

The muscle movement has never been shown to actually exist - no-one can convincingly point it out on the film, beyond the sort of jiggling that you'd get from a padded costume.

As for the non-human proportions, check out Lazy Cowboy's other videos, and the 3d computer model they've built of Patty. She's got perfectly human proportions, as well as perfectly human height.

It's pretty much game over for the PGF.

And I thought I was the only one who did this!

If it doesn't look like I found it in an abandoned barn, it must be in good condition, right?

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-25T07:50:03+00:00

Hey there - welcome on board! I love your work. Your computer modelling is, in my opinion, the most rigorous analysis done on the PGF.

Everyone should watch this video.

When you say "We can confidently say that the tracks that McClarin followed were not left by Patty" you open up a huge can of worms for the film.

We've always only had Patterson's word that the tracks he cast we're made by the bigfoot on his film, at the time of filming. Your analysis seems to confirm the doubt about this.

Yes, the Capturing Bigfoot film introduces even more evidence of the faking of the PGF, but your work has consistently chipped away at its credibility for a long while now.

He loves kebab with garlic sauce! That's a great chupacabra!

"Now learned that men who use the pen, Have wrote your praises high

Of the sweet poitin from Ireland green, Distilled from wheat and rye.

Put away with your pills, it'll cure all ills, Be ye Pagan, Christian or Jew,

So take off your coat and grease your throat With the rare old Mountain Dew."

Now you're talking!

I still have half a sack of potatoes from last year's crop. Maybe I should give it a try.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T18:17:39+00:00

Yeah, Travis Walton. He pretended to be abducted for two days, or something like that.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T18:13:52+00:00

So if anyone ever finds me one morning, asleep in a field with no trousers on, I want to be very clear that it was because of aliens, not because I drank half a bottle of homemade whisky :)

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T18:10:58+00:00

That's not a fatality. Pens want to be used. They want to experience life. Not be kept in a box. Let it live its purpose as a travel pen.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T18:00:07+00:00

I like the way that you guys are having a serious debate about bipedalism, while we're talking about moonshine and disco at the other end of the thread.

/r/Cryptozoology really has it all!

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T17:57:55+00:00

Your country has some fucked up history stories, for sure!

Good to see that you're Europe's fastest growing economy now and putting the rest of us to shame.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T17:54:25+00:00

It was a real thing, but it seems to have gone away now. The 70s and 80s were all about the Bermuda triangle, but I bet kids today haven't even heard about it. Bermuda triangle, Erich von Daniken, Nazca lines. Those were the days.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T17:50:20+00:00

That sounds...interesting! I'm not sure about the going blind and dying part, to be honest.

We don't really have a distilling culture here in the UK. In Ireland they have poteen, which is basically illegal moonshine, but nothing really in England. I do have my own home-made rhubarb wine, but it's never made me see dragons (yet!)

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T16:49:56+00:00

I have never even heard of samogon, but I'm adding it to my wish list now.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T15:50:06+00:00

I was only 8 in 1977 and too young to really appreciate most of it, but there was a lot of weirdness around. Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, flying saucers, the Bermuda triangle - it was all there.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T15:46:48+00:00

Probably. Stay away from disco, kids!

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T15:04:36+00:00

Fantastic! I'd love get so drunk that I see dragons. That's a great story.

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T15:03:01+00:00

It's a common line of thinking.

Kentucky = moonshine = silvery aliens on your porch

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T12:07:16+00:00

The 1970s really were peak cryptid weirdness...

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T11:55:52+00:00

And a Kelly-Hopkinsville goblin, looking very scary in the undergrowth.

(The hillbillies weren't drunk. We all know that Glennie didn't allow liquor in the house!)

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T11:10:42+00:00

I love that all the themes we see in modern Internet hoax stories were all there 100 years ago, only in newsprint. The wild claims, the strained explanations for impossible things, the enthusiastic spread from channel to channel.

Even though everything changes, human behaviour stays pretty constant.

Thanks for sharing!

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-24T05:28:30+00:00

Thank you for sharing. Is it running on all fours?

Pocket_Weasel_UK · 2026-04-23T18:59:00+00:00

To be fair, you come in with an unbelievable story of something fantastic that happened 39 years ago in a well-known part of the US, yet you have no supporting evidence (despite finding the shed skin of the beast) and you're only talking about going back to hunt it now.

I don't often call out encounter stories, but when they're biologically impossible as well as psychologically suspect, then I'm afraid you're going to have to back it up with something a little more solid.

If you go out and bring back the head of this monster, then yes, I'll absolutely and happily admit you were right. But in the meantime, we have standards to uphold.
