Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential story as we know it of Roger Patterson's Bigfoot research and the 1967 Bigfoot film at Bluff Creek California. In December 1959 Roger C. Patterson of Tampico, Washington took up the challenge to prove the existence of North America's elusive Sasquatch or Bigfoot creature that for centuries had evaded capture and had never been filmed. At age 26, Patterson attacked the issue with tremendous zeal and enthusiasm. Despite serious health problems, he diligently interviewed witnesses, listened to the stories of native people, read all he could find on the subject and with his partner, Robert Gimlin, explored wilderness areas in the Pacific Northwest. In 1966, Patterson published a book on the subject, Do Abominable Snowmen of America Really Exist? the first book to provide a detailed account of Bigfoot sightings and footprint findings. In October 1967 Patterson and Gimlin captured a Bigfoot on motion picture film in Northern California, the first scientifically authenticated footage of the creature. In less than five year's time, Patterson succumbed to Hodgkins disease and passed away on January 15, 1972. Continually in demand, Patterson's book has had three printings. This, the fourth printing, provides not only the complete Patterson book, but also a detailed account of the filming, its aftermath and a dissertation on the recent controversy regarding the film's authenticity. Full-page color enlargements of the twelve clearest film frames and many supporting photographs/illustrations make this work a highly valuable research resource. The information gathered and assembled by Roger Patterson in his epic work will truly impress the reader. One cannot help but feel this author's passion for the subject and associate with his burning desire to fully substantiate the remarkable accounts he has collected. Chris Murphy's detailed but easy-reading documentation of the filming, its aftermath and the film controversy is both very informative and entertaining. Chris has provided us with a nice clean highly illustrated package. He keeps it frank, simple and factual, saving the reader the trouble of wading through superfluous page fillers.
Download or read book The Making of Bigfoot written by Greg Long and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2004-03 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bigfoot! Huge, hairy, foul smelling, this legendary apelike animal continues to captivate the public''s imagination. This fascination hinges on a single piece of motion-picture film shot in northern California in 1967. For thirty-five years, Bigfoot believers have been convinced that this sixty-second piece of film proves the physical reality of Bigfoot. But now comes a book that demolishes that belief, that produces final proof that the film footage is a hoax. The Making of Bigfoot tells the amazing story of Roger Patterson of Yakima, Washington. A part-time rodeo rider, chronically unemployed and dying of cancer, Patterson propelled himself into short-lived fame and fortune by exploiting his obsession with the Bigfoot subject and leveraging his expertise in manipulating and conning people to pull off one of the world''s great hoaxes. Living within two hours of Patterson''s hometown, for three years paranormal investigator and author Greg Long interviewed more than forty witnesses in Yakima who knew Patterson intimately. The voices of these witnesses, combined with facts unearthed from newspaper archives, books, and court documents, tell the real story of Roger Patterson. Both tragic and comical, a unique slice of Americana, The Making of Bigfoot captures the testimony of a colorful cast of characters who bring to life a man and a time in the 1960s when Bigfoot strode into the American imagination, and the world embraced a myth.
Download or read book Bigfoot Film Journal written by Christopher L. Murphy and published by Hancock House Publishers. This book was released on 2009-03-25 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bigfoot Film Journal provides a detailed account and analysis of the circumstances and aftermath of one of the most controversial motion picture films in world history--the Patterson/Gimlin film. In October 1967, Roger Patterson and Robert Gimlin filmed what many people believe was an actual sasquatch or bigfoot on a shore of Bluff Creek in Northern California. The one-minute film they took of the creature has been vigorously debated for over 40 years, and it continues to reside in the annals of the "unexplained." The creature filmed cannot be proven to be either an actual primate of some sort or a fabrication. Much has been written about the film in the past, but the details of the filming and its aftermath have not been thoroughly researched and subjected to in-depth critical analysis. With the assistance and cooperation of Robert Gimlin and several major sasquatch/bigfoot researchers, the author has methodically detailed the fascinating story of the filming and the subsequent events. Many little known (or indeed previously unknown) facts are presented that dismiss, or at the very least challenge, current beliefs and understandings. For those interested in the bigfoot/sasquatch issue, here is the "behind the scene" account of what has become to many people the most compelling evidence of the creature's existence.

Download or read book Devolution written by Max Brooks and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2020-06-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with “the Bigfoot thriller you didn’t know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels I’ve ever read” (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion). FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before. Praise for Devolution “Delightful . . . [A] tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The story is told in such a compelling manner that horror fans will want to believe and, perhaps, take the warning to heart.”—Booklist (starred review)

Book excerpt: The Patterson-Gimlin Film, the Hominid seen in it, the remarkably intense debate it has provoked, and the solution to the mystery.This book offers a truly unique analysis of the famous Patterson-Gimlin Film (the “Bigfoot” film, as it is also known), addressing the question of hoax or fraud from the perspective of a professional makeup and creature effects designer, as well as the perspective of a vintage filmmaker. The film itself is truly the best evidence, far superior to any testimony, recollections and similar descriptive accounts, and this analysis relies upon that best evidence only, for the definitive analysis in the 47 year history of this mysterious piece of film footage. This book is primarily written for the people who have not made up their minds, people who are simply curious about this mysterious film and have not yet formed an opinion as to its authenticity. Hopefully as well, this book will be of value to scholarly people who are willing to evaluate this film with an academic and factual approach. The film is a remarkable mystery, and the controversy surrounding it is a fascinating commentary on human nature. The truth of the Patterson-Gimlin Film is quite an extraordinary story.
Download or read book The Bluff Creek Project written by Steven Streufert and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-11-25 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the Bluff Creek Project on a modern day quest for the lost film site where the image of Bigfoot was forever immortalized in celluloid. On October 20th., 1967, two cowboys filmed an apparent "Bigfoot" creature walking away along a sandbar in a remote canyon along Bluff Creek in the wilds of Northern California. By the 1990's the film site had been lost to public knowledge and reclaimed by dense regrowth. During the prestigious 2003 International Bigfoot Symposium in nearby Willow Creek, none of the supposed experts could agree on the exact location of the once famous encounter. Doubt lurked behind the numerous assertions as nature and time attempted to erase history. Six years on, two people sought facts to solve this puzzling mystery. They found a videographer who became a partner, and a year later "The Bluff Creek Film Site Project" was born. They searched out all the old stories and met many patriarchs who were once there. But the needed landmarks and artifacts, seen clearly in the old film and research photographs, remained well hidden. Many cherished theories or bits of wisdom had to be discarded. Numerous facts were found; and they began to add up. The members of the group lived nearby, so they had a unique opportunity to conduct local historical studies on site, and to explore the whole watershed intimately. Come join us on this great adventure. Whether this Bigfoot film, shot by roger Patterson, shows one of the greatest mysteries in the world... or was the hoax of the century, the rediscovery of the Patterson-Gimlin film site stands on its own as a grand and fascinating journey.

Download or read book BIGFOOT NATION written by David Childress and published by SCB Distributors. This book was released on 2018-04-11 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Childress takes a deep look at Bigfoot Nation—the seemingly real world of bigfoot around us in the United States and Canada. Whether real or imagined, that bigfoot has made his way into the American psyche cannot be denied. He appears in television commercials, movies, and on roadside billboards. In fact, bigfoot is everywhere, with actors portraying him in variously believable performances and it has become the popular notion that bigfoot is both dangerous and horny. Indeed, bigfoot is out there stalking lover’s lanes and is even more lonely than those frightened teenagers that he sometimes interrupts. Bigfoot, tall and strong as he is, makes a poor leading man in the movies with his awkward personality and typically anti-social behavior. He doesn’t care a skunk’s gland how many movies or commercials are made about him without any royalties whatsoever being paid. To him, Bigfoot Nation is all about style, a lifestyle—shall we say—that keeps bigfoot on the fringes of society, gently creeping into our dreams. Join David on a wild ride from the very first bigfoot reports in the 1800s to right now. Chapters include: 1800 to 1899: The Wildmen of the Frontier; The Oldest Bigfoot Photo; 1900 to 1940: The Pre-War Years; 1950 to 1990: The Post-War Years; The Skunk Apes of Swamp Nation; Bigfoot in the Southwest; 2000 to 2020: Post-Millennial Bigfoot, more. Includes 16-pages of color photos that document Bigfoot Nation!

Download or read book Bigfoot Encounters in Ohio written by Christoper Murphy and published by Crypto Editions. This book was released on 2018-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable & entertaining account of the bigfoot phenomenon. Ohio is among the top five states in reported bigfoot incidents because of the state's vast farmlands (easy food), extensive forest areas, and abundant water resources. Numerous reports of a strange apelike creature continue to emanate from Ohio's vast rural and forested areas. Now commonly known as bigfoot, the creature is mainly seen in farming communities as it obviously searches for easy food. Large humanlike footprints in cornfields, pasture lands and woodland trails provide tangible evidence of its passage. Joedy Cook and George Clappison have spent almost twenty years investigating the bigfoot phenomenon in Ohio and other eastern states. The information they have gathered on Ohio incidents is presented in this thought-provoking book by Chris Murphy, an author and bigfoot researcher in British Columbia, Canada. While most scientists still reject the possible existence of bigfoot, this book will leave you in awe as to why more is not being done to resolve what is surely North America's greatest mystery. Originally published in 1997 under a different title, the Murphy, Cook, Clappison team has completely revised and updated the work. Many new sightings have been documented and numerous photographs and illustrations have been added. The book has had a complete makeover, with the provision of more and better information on all aspects of the remarkable bigfoot phenomenon in the State of Ohio. Ohio ranks sixth in North America in the number of bigfoot-related incidents by state or province. The details provided in this book give a clear understanding of just how widespread the phenomenon is in Ohio. The astounding eye-witness accounts will convince even the most ardent skeptics that the bigfoot issue has gone far beyond legend and willful fabrications. About the title: Use of the Ohio term Grassman to identify an unusual ape-man creature appears to go back to at least the turn of the last century. Apparently, sightings of the creature in tall grass (including the young of the species) on Ohio's plains resulted in the name. As the creature was somewhat terrifying in appearance, it appears the term was used in a foreboding sense with children (i.e., the Grassman will get you ). Descriptions of the Grassman are identical to those of bigfoot or the sasquatch; however, the Grassman appears to have some different habits or ways of life.
