Bigfoot- Patterson and Gimlins video

Bigfoot is one of the most talked about myths. Believed to be a creature weighing at 500 pounds, stands at an average of 7 feet and it's entire body coated with hair. Although with very little evidence proving it's existence, it is still been a very popular topic. In 1972, one of the most unbelievable evidence of Bigfoot was filmed. Roger Patterson and Bob Gimlin were On an expedition in North California, on the search for evidence of Bigfoot. The two men were on horseback and were on the hunt for evidence. When they saw it, a tall hairy creature, they were exited. Not their horses though. The men were thrown off their horses and when on the ground, Patterson took out his camera and filmed 952 frames of what appears to be a tall ape-like animal walking away from their direction. This came to be one of the most controversial evidence ever documented in the history of Bigfoot.

It appeared to be a large animal that was walking in the same manner as humans. It's entire body was covered with black hair. When the two arrived at the creek, the creature was still but immediately turned around and started walking away at the sight of the two. This is the most significant evidence of the existence of the Sasquatch, better known as Bigfoot. The video has been up for debate whether it's evidence or a complete hoax. One part of the video shows the creature turning around. The animal has looked back and it's upper body turned around together with it's head. This is a behavior similar to apes. A regular person can turn it's neck around and not have to worry whether it would hit their shoulder. With an ape however, it's shoulders are higher than a humans' so if it were to turn around it's head, it would hit it's shoulders along the way. So the creature would've needed to turn it's body in order to look farther back. This video has been a huge controversy and will probably be one of the best evidence for the Sasquatch.
