When it comes to films, videos, and pictures, Bigfoot can look very different. Sometimes even witness testimony will give some different descriptions. One thing that is for sure, is that not all Bigfoot look just alike, whether they are made for a film or a real image captured by a witness. In the cases of film, there are many different variations depicted. The above image is a still frame from the 2013 film Shooting Bigfoot. This is the part where the director was supposedly attacked by a Bigfoot.

Of course, the general consensus of the film was that it was all a hoax, and I don't think you will find very many people who will debate you about it. But the particular part of the film where this Bigfoot knocks over the director has always had some question marks.

73 degrees of Bigfoot (Patty)
21 degrees between Bigfoot and You - Maybe Not

First, let me say this is in no way an attempt to debunk the Patterson-Gimlin film of Patty. Instead, it is yet another attempt by me to clear up a misconception about the shin rise angle of Bigfoot when compared to humans. I made a very simple video about this idea several months ago. (Watch Video By clicking Here ) The video was not well received or maybe just not understood. But, it was just a very quick attempt to show the problems of using the shin raise method to authenticate Bigfoot videos and pictures. So now, I'll try again.

The theory was made popular by a very popular video posted on youtube. It was posted by a guy who calls himself ThinkerThunker. He has a large following and has very good editing skills. The theory, in a nutshell, goes like this: The shin raise of a human walking is at a 52-degree angle and Patty in the Patterson-Gimlin film has a shin raise of 73 degrees, thus resulting in a 21-degree angle difference between the human gait and Bigfoot gait.

This theory has been taken to heart by a very large number of people who have an interest in Bigfoot. They use this theory to determine if a Bigfoot video or photo could possibly be that of a real Bigfoot. And while the theory and the video explaining it sounds very feasible, there are some problems with it. First, the theory fails to make comparisons with people in suits or wearing oversized shoes.

I will offer the following picture as an example that this theory can not and should not be used as a reliable method in determining if a video or picture is that of a real Bigfoot.

  
Clearly, this is a man in a popular Bigfoot suit, but yet his shin raise appears to be 73 degrees. So either the Shin Raise theory is moot or this is a real Bigfoot. I'm sure no one considers the Bigfoot on the left to be real.

Bigfoot may very well walk with a shin rise of 73 degrees. But with the above photo, it should be clear that the angle can be reproduced rather easily.  In the above photo comparison, the person in the Bigfoot suit achieves the 73-degree angle due to the fact the feet of the suit are larger than the person's real feet. It causes the leg to be lifted higher thus resulting in the target angle.

I hope you got something out of this post.
Have a great day.

Thanks

Bad Bigfoot
I thought I would take just a little time today and write a short post about some bad Bigfoot picture and costumes.

A bad Bigfoot image can from a wide range of sources. From the low budget costume makers to the cheesy low budget horror movie to the serial and/or casual hoaxer.  Lets take a look at some of these bad Bigfoots!



 
Well, this Bigfoot looks happy! Maybe it's because it finally found a pair of shoe that fit. No more sore feet. This is not from a hoax or anything but a print that you can purchase. I was going to link to the site but it appears to have a virus ....so can't do it.
  








 
This Bigfoot is not a terrible effort considering it is made out of wigs from Wal-mart, but I have seen much better from Mark Cline. For those who don't know, Mark has been making stuff like this for years. Stuff like a giant 50 foot tall dinosaurs and Foamhenge. Foamhenge is a Stone henge replica made out of of ...you guessed it ...Foam.   
Mark has a roadside attraction located in Natural Bridge, VA.
Check out his youtube video Hunt Bigfoot with a Redneck to see this Bigfoot in action.






I don't know much about this one. The body looks decent but the big mouth and fangs are pretty wild. Hey, maybe it is a Bigfoot Vampire?  What I do know about it is that it is from the film Night Claws starring Frank Stallone.  It was shot in Mobile, AL back in 2001. It was another "Killer Bigfoot" movie.  Why is it most Bigfoot movies show Bigfoot as a crazed killer? ...Bigfoot needs a better agent.




 




This photo was presented by none other than Rick Dyer. I think it was taken while he was on an expedition in Florida.  Best I can remember, Dyer claimed that someone hoaxed him by dressing up in a suit. 







Again, don't know much about this Bigfoot but he has the David Letterman teeth and looks a bit "slow", if you know what I mean.  Could this be from a movie ....if so I'm hoping it was a comedy.







Bad movie Bigfoot. I think this is from the movie Suburban Sasquatch. Its your typical "the beast is on a blood thirsty rampage" movie. Arms and legs getting ripped off ....but hey that might be your thing.







Maybe the worst looking Bigfoot in the movies. Curse of Bigfoot - this is a terrible attempt at creating a Bigfoot creature but hey it was made back in like the 70's and it was a mummified Bigfoot ...so maybe we can overlook it. If you are so inclined you can watch the film for Free by Clicking Here.








Now, don't tell me you have seen Bigfoot up close and have been interacting with them and then tell me this glass eyed monster from Todd Standing is real. This Bigfoot has that far way look in his eyes, that blank stare ....maybe it's over medicated?  ..Staring contest ...GO!   





So, there you have it. Some of my picks for the "Bad Bigfoot" club. Please don't take it too seriously this post is meant to be somewhat lighthearted. I'm sure if you look around you can find some better than these.


Bigfoot for entertainment is fine, just be upfront about it, but hoaxing, lying and being dishonest just to make money is not acceptable to most people.

Of course any serious researcher who takes the subject seriously, needs funding and support but never be dishonest or pull hoaxes just to get funding, it only hurts the rest of us and the field in general.

The Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy (TBRC) released the above photo of a possible bigfoot.
Full story can be found on the TBRC website found HERE .
The pictures was reportedly taken in Oklahoma. TBRC has had the photos for about 12 years but only recently got permission to release the photos.  It was reported that In the past TRBC has shown the photos at some of their local events and seminars. 
The Crypto Crew has taken and tried to enhance the 2 released photos and has done a little research concerning the photos.

Here is the other photo released by TBRC



Here is some enhancements done by TCC of the above photos

color enhanced & enlarged by The Crypto Crew

What I would like to point out about this photo is the little "pointy" peak of Hair at the nape of the neck. This is something that will mean more to you as you read futher.

Here is the enhancement of the other photo

color enhanced & enlarged by The Crypto Crew

In this photo I would like to point out the "red" color on the side of the neck...this seems odd and out of place to me.
So I got to doing some more research about theses photos and I think I have discovered more photos of the same "bigfoot" but in a different state.

Here is a photo that was reportedly taken at Mt. St. Helens in Washington State. Notice how it looks to be the same "bigfoot"


Notice how it has the same"pointy" peak of hair at the nape of the neck. The roundness of the belly is the same as well. These pictures were taken in 2002 as best can be determined.

Here is another photo from the Mt. St. Helens set


Notice there appears to be a four wheeler or some kind of machine in this picture. So it was real close to the person taking the picture. This does in fact look like the same creature in the photos released by TBRC. In this picture there seem to be a seam at the shoulder as well.
The BFRO has the Mt. St. Helens sighting on their website and it can be read HERE . This is assuming it is the same report that goes with the pictures and I think it is.

Some things I want to point out.
* "Pointy" peak at the nape of the neck - possible hood or mask
* Shoulder appears to show a seam in WA photo - Possible suit
* No Muscle Definition -  possible suit
* Red coloring on neck - Could be clothes
* Arms appear to be too short

The only real odd thing to me is the "creature" appears to be very large. TBRC did some size analysis and this thing does appear large but as we all know sometimes we can be fooled concerning size of things in photos. 

First let me say I do not think TBRC is pulling any kind of  a hoax or a fake here, But based on the photos they released and the other photos I have found and I would conclude that this is a suit of some kind and not a real bigfoot.  If I'm wrong or others disagree with me that is find.
Thanks to TBRC for releasing the photos.


Thanks
Tom
