Ancient Mysteries – Bigfoot
This A&E documentary uncovers hidden facts and reveals possible explanations for the controversial ape-like legend known as Bigfoot.
Listen to experts who have researched the beast the American Indians called “Sasquatch” and who have found new perspectives on this centuries-old mystery.
With all of the supposed sightings of this creature and of the commercialization of keeping the mystery alive, it is hard to tell what is fact and what is fiction.
This documentary, narrated by Leonard Nimoy, sets out to find the truth through the use of archival footage, eyewitness videotape, and computer analysis, which has made it possible to learn more about this legend than ever before.

Wasn’t the mountain gorilla regarded as a hoax by mainstream science until a cadaver was finally produced in the early 1900s?
This means ManBearPig can be real…I’ve heard he’s paid by the oil companies to start forest fires. Evil b*******.
I`ve seen much better docs than this, not on TDF though. One was on TV recently I think. It was about a very remote cabin in Canada. A team of scientists camped there for a couple of days. They also put down a nail board near the door to the cabin. (The cabin was getting repeatedly smashed to bits when unoccupied) The nail board later showed traces of blood and hair and the foot print was huge.
I remember one of the things that was discussed was why no serious effort is ever put into BF and one of the conclusions was that it would destroy the logging industry. A comparison was made to an area in the US (I think it was Oregon) where certain rare birds were found and whole swathes of forest were declared off limits to loggers to protect the nests. So if the BFs do exist, obviously it would follow that huge areas would probably be declared of scientific interest and the $$$ loss would be massive. Not to mention the loss of jobs.
Ah! The good old Bigfoot days!
Have lived close to and around Bigfoot areas, in British Columbia Canada. Know the areas well, of Bigfoot sightings, Harrison Hot Springs, Yale, Agassiz, the Pitt river, Pitt lake area, There is also a true Pitt lake legend about a lost gold mine in the mountains, that would make a good Doc.
Supposed to be worth untold millions, lot of people died trying to find it.
Maybe killed by Bigfoot?
An interesting story, “Google lost gold mine of Pitt lake.”
Not the best. Somewhat outdated. It still uses the Patterson film which has since been shown to be faked.
Yavanna: do you recall the name of the TV show?
The patterson film has not been proven to be a hoax. I saw a whole documentary about a scientist trying to re create the walk of the bigfoot and its impossible to do within the human gate of stride.

The documentary Yavanna is talking about is on MonsterQuest. It’s on YouTube. I think it’s called “Bigfoot Attack”.
Rheves: patterson admitted on his deathbed that it was a hoax and that the bigfoot was really a man in a costume. do your research before saying other people are wrong.
correction: patterson was the cameraman and never admitted it, however his accomplice (man in suit) confessed shortly after patterson died and wrote about it in his book.
poor guys. after 30 years they must get pretty tired of hearing “false alarm. no worries though, we’ll get ‘em next time.” over the walkie-talkies. :/
BigFoot for sale to highest bidder.
infomonger,the Patterson film has NEVER been proven fake,several men have came forward claiming to be a part of the hoax aka the man in the suit but the most famous,Bob H changes his story with every re-telling and has pretty much been labeled an attention seeker. Patterson film has withstood microscopic digitial scrutiny and still most who take the time to scientifically investigate the film come away with the same opinion..no way could that have been a suit..just not possible in that time. These creatures exist but I do fear they are fast becoming extinct. Hopefully,we can get proof before they vanish altogether.
Hugh you have to be kidding.. bigfoot still exists lolololol. Then so does the tooth fairy and easter bunny, give us a break..what next you will tell us that terrorists brought down the twin towers and not the us govt. far out.
one look at that footage and you can see it is an ape suit..probably the one used in abbott and costello movies..and the walk looked exactly like a human because ummmm it was a human.. let me guess you believe in the moon landing too right? no need to answer of course you do.
HEHEH…Samsquanch…<3 Bubbles ;P
