One frame from the film (frame 352) with the creature isolated and
enlarged. Its breasts indicate that it was female. |
The complete history of the Patterson/Gimlin film which shows an alleged sasquatch has been documented in my book "Bigfoot Film Journal." This book is available as a free e-book in the Hancock House Publishers section. What is provided in this presentation is a simple summary of the film. |
The film was taken by Roger Patterson (left). He was accompanied by Bob Gimlin (right). It was taken on October 20, 1967 along Bluff Creek in Northern California. In this photograph, the men are holding plaster casts of footprints left by the creature. The other two casts are not related to the film. |
The creature’s stature and measurements as determined by John Green after
intensive study of the film. However, subsequent analysis by others indicates that the creature was likely 87.5 inches tall (about 9% taller that what is shown here). After the filming, Roger Patterson made plaster casts of the left and right footprints left by the creature along the gravel sandbar. He is seen here holding the casts. That he provided both a film and casts is highly noteworthy.
