This movie baffles me. Expert after expert after expert has come forward and screamed, "Fake!" At least two people involved with the hoax have come forward, admitting it was a hoax. Yet there are still people out there who continue to take this seriously.

Why???

Personally, I think there is more evidence and a better argument for the existence of elves than Bigfoot.

Why did Nike foot scientists determine that no human can walk with the gait seen in the P&G footage?


Isnt that what skeptics wanted...a pure scientific analysis?

Experts can be fooled. Remember the photo of the triangular UFO taken in Belgium? Expert after expert examined it and determined it was genuine.

Except it wasn't. Not only was it fake, but it's amazing how easily the perpetrators of the hoax fooled the experts. See: https://www.reuters.com/article/ouko...76Q2DE20110727

And let's be honest. True believers often see what they want to see.

Patterson had a track record of searching for a way to make a quick buck. I know that it did not do him any good in the end run, but you cannot say he did not try. Even today he still has many believers and they will never give up trying to prove the film was real. I still think, if it could have been photographed once, then there should be plenty of quality pictures emerging every year - but there aren't.
Thank you. I had no idea of the history of the suite but figured there was a logical explanation. I totally agree that if bigfoot existed it would have been found, tracked down dead or alive long before now.

The fact that some believers now are saying it has magical powers to disappear and go through different dimensions shows that even the "believers" don't really believe in it anymore.

This again? It was a guy in a gorilla suit. We know this because both the company that made the suit, and the guy that wore the suit, admitted it.

Let it go guys...
