Don't pay attention these lame emin alter ego accounts, the boy's on a frenzy now... Noooo, the film (not video, creeps) in most likelihood is in fact the real deal. No hoax, no fake, but you can dream if you want...

Yeah...you are smart all right...the 'man' is Bob Heironimus and his less than stellar recreation is here on youtube. National Geographic was poised to do a story on him...when he walked out in his shaggy lame suit, they packed up and left...Aint I smart?? J

Actually the gait's far from reproduced, they just stuck a tall dude in a fluffy one piece suit to stroll along on lanky legs. Didn't look the first bit like Patty any of it. Meldrum only said certain aspects of the gait, not agreeing it was like it at all. It's impossible to do anyway, these beings' legs & hips are completely different from ours not to mention their much longer torso. We will continue to look silly in suits cos we're simply not built for it anatomically, so no suit will fit.

the gait was recently very closely reproduced by an actor during a piece of research involving Meldrum. The gait was reconstructed by an actor waling on a flat smooth surface and after being coached and being able to study the film. He also only replicated it for a few steps, not for nearly 100 yards. The suit he wore was also much lighter than the suit this 'hoaxer' wore because the mass was just so small. Also it was not 7'3" tall and the limb ratio was different. Case NOT closed.

Wasn't this filmed with color film? Also, is this being narrated by a computer. Watson on Jeopardy sounds more life-like.

Nice to see the Sasquatch has a sense of humour - turning up at Bluff Creek!

Sounds like Bigfoot is narrating this.

Yep biped which is why certain aspects (remember that word, aspects?) of walking will look human. Heck, they may even be human. I'm sure if we found living Neanderthals we'd be able to copy aspects of their walk too, but not the whole thing. I'm not ducking if you're referring to me, my stand is clear; I think if they exist they're smart and not apes. And whether you like the thought or not, there's the chance we already know of them and let them be. Hence, the idea of parks in the first place.
